Hate to show my ignorance ... what is ME? nm
x
Okay, I am going to show my ignorance, but don't you still have to have a foot pedal and...sm
so have to be connected to an outlet? I know you can have that on your porch/deck, etc. but that does limit the mobility aspect doesn't it or can it be done without a foot pedal? I don't mean to sound stupid, but this is all new to me.
I hate to show my incredible ignorance, but how do I sm
find out what type of processor my computer has? I know it is a Pentium, but I cannot remember if it is a 3 or a 4. I tried System Tools, but that was of no help at all. :(
Thanks for your help.
I guess your computer doesn't show !!
Only when you open the message do you finally see the :) Still looks angry to me....
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order

myspace
Did any of you see Dateline (I think it was Sunday)? It was about myspace. I thought it was scary. I have several (adult) friends who are on myspace and they post way too much information. They should be smarter than the teens are but they seem to have the thought that it is only their friends who see there pictures, etc. And a lot of the content is very inappropriate for teens--IMHO for anyone. My friends who are on it are completely addicted. I compare it to someone who smokes. They get on myspace each day about as often as someone who smokes in a given day. And what a competition it is to see how many "friends" you can have whether you have a clue who your friends are or not.
myspace
I'm not trying to start a debate about whether it is good or bad. Just trying to satisfy my curiosity. There are a lot of teens on it, of course, but a lot of friends my age (35) are getting into it too. How many here are on it and what is your age?
myspace
I'm not, but I have two friends in their early 30s who are. My 16-year-old daughter has one.
I think the media makes too much of it all. There are always going to be people who don't do the "smart" thing. You can't be paranoid about everything and cut out all the possible "bad" things from your life.
My daughter's is set to friends only. My adult friends have open profiles. If I started one I would probably make it friends only, but I'm not sure.
myspace
Why yes I do! But I use xanga more. I don't know why though, I guess because I had it first.
Do U MySpace?
I'm addicted!
Does anyone use MySpace.com?
I'm just starting out but it seems somewhat involved...is it worth the effort? And why do some people have 8,000 "friends" ? Altho I must say my sister has a very elaborate "space" with music and videos - but I just don't know if its worth it. Anyone meet Mr. Right?
MySpace.com
From what I understand, it started out as a musicians' showcase website for up-and-coming bands. My son happens to be in one of our local "grind core" bands. LOL Anyway, it seems to be mostly teenagers that use the site. If you're looking for Mr. Right, why don't you try one such as match.com or eharmony. I think you'll find more adults, and I can't say for sure, but I think Match is free. My cousin met her fiance there. Beware of internet liars, however. We can all seem dreamy when we know we have that anonymity.
I have 3 teens on myspace.
Really, you need to slowly step out on the porch, down the driveway, and into the world.
Don't you realize that media will sensationalize anything to the furthest extent possible in order to raise your blood pressure?
I watch the myspace of my kids, my kids' friends, and of any anxillary friends (it's not at all hard to do if you can use a computer keyboard). Ninety-five percent are fine. A few are revealing. Heck, my 16-year old met the greatest fellow on the planet through myspace; he has become a second son.
I have a myspace myself, centered around my work and hobbies.
Don't condemn reality before you experience your first breath.
I have a myspace account
I love it! It allows me to easily keep in touch with friends & family and I've found a lot of old classmates on there as well. I really enjoy the site. I think people are misinformed by the media & are quick to jump to false conclusions about myspace.
IGNORANCE
You should really keep your mouth shut about the situation here in Florida and elsewhere. These folks have been devastated, homes gone, jobs gone, these are everyday people and NOT WELFARE LINE recipients. Wake up and stop being so self-centered. When one day you slip into a bad situation you will be asking for help too. I all most fell off my chair when I read your ignorant, uninformed post. You should be ashamed and ask forgiveness and apologize to this board for y our inhuman and slanderous insinuations.
MT in Florida ..
Sorry for the ignorance sm
I was using "anon" but not anymore since someone else has posted a nasty remark here. Why the nasty replies on here? I agree, this is supposed to be the helping profession. I think Cobra is only a bridge between jobs to help you with bennies but is only temporary, not sure of time, but this is the law and cannot be changed. I had to have private insurance just for myself as husband had his own on retirement but I was too young. I had to buy from a private Blue Cross through a group plan through the Chamber of Commerce in my area and so expensive. Big $$$ and no other way. I wish you the best, there is no real solution except to get into a job that offers bennies but sometimes you make more on your own and buying your own ins. Again, sorry some others are so mean, there are a few on here, unfortunately, that's why I chose to be "anon" before but never again! I am not associated with that poster.
Sorry about my ignorance here, but what does EMR really mean for the MT?
Even if the system goes electronic, won't MTs still be needed? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question!
My 3 daughters have myspace sites
They are ages 18, 25 and 26. My older daughters stay in touch with old friends. My youngest has met lots of Marine girlfriends like her and they support each other. There is a lot of gross stuff, but some of it is kids being kids (do we all forget what we were like at that age). However, I do think parents should check their minor children's spaces. There is a lot of admission of underage drinking and drug use going on. I think these kids are nute posting that kind of stuff. I have a site and password too, that I only use to monitor things. My kids don't know that I have that. I just like to look at the pictures.
And yes, I agree, it is not any different than adults posting to sites like this or another adult type informational site.
My husband and I both 30 and have MySpace sites... sm
My husband keeps up with a lot of his old shipmates that way (some of them are under the age of 25) now that he is at another duty station and some of our old classmates from high school. And, if you didn't notice, classmates.com charges for you to see more information on an old classmate, so if you can do it this way for free, then do it! Not all people on MySpace are on it to do evil, look trashy or to have a popularity contest...some of us are just networking to catch up with old friends!
About myspace posts below and opinions.
My niece has met a guy on myspace. We're in New York, he's in Wisconsin. She is 19. She is going to fly out to meet him this summer. Am I CRAZY, I THINK SHE'S NUTS! Am I too old fashioned to believe if he were any kind of guy that he would come where she lives to meet her before her just flying out there sight unseen? I really believe she is heading into trouble that we can do nothing about. She is an adult (LOL) but this is still scary to me. What do you think?
meeting people on myspace
Oh boy that's such a tough question! Have they talked on the phone and corresponded for a while? I'd never meet anybody that I hadn't at least talked to on the phone for a good amount of time and gotten to know alot about them personally first. It's hard to say though for sure. A chaperone is a good idea but she may not be cool with that. I guess just keep really good dibs on here while she's gone if you can. She is 19 and I hate to say but she is an adult and if people get on her butt about it she may go just to spite everybody. What a tough call!
I get upset when people say people who are on the internet are all pedophiles and crooks. That's just simply not true. I'm on the net and I know for sure I'm a normal human being! I met my best friend online about 4 years ago. We talked online and on the phone and corresponded back and forth for an entire year before we even thought of meeting. Now she's my best friend and even buying a house here and I see her ALL THE TIME so sometimes it can be a great thing. Or maybe I just got extremely lucky!
www.myspace.com.....it is kind of like a place
where you can journal, share pictures, comment your friends, etc. It's basically like your own little space.
Career Step is on myspace now
Just telling you guys if you were grads or whatever, in case you are interested. A CS student friend of mine told me about it today. I went through CS and I loved it. Anyway, like I said, in case you are a myspacer.

you are showing your IGNORANCE
Apparently that is all you have gained from 'getting out, living and learning'.
Knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.
I hope you truly 'get smart' by the time you have to give an account for all you have done and not done to the One that made you.
scuse my ignorance,
but what's an SE? Thanks
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss....sm
If I had known EVERYTHING about starting a business and listened to all the naysayers, I never would have done it. Bought a computer, printer, fax, and dictaphone(no on line work then), and sent out letters, flyers, had cards printed, and knocked on dr. office doors to get my own work. I pretty much knew nothing except how to transcribe and was very good at it, I thought! Soon learned I was very good at what I knew but just as green as a newbie with new fields. Ended up with a very successful service and 10-12 employees. Supported my family and still do. Big difference in being prepared now is having the capability to do voice files. Eventually, you need a phone so your name is listed in the phone book and an accountant to do the financial stuff. You just have to have the basic knowledge that you probably already have, and learn as you go.
Sorry, then, was showing my ignorance! :) nm

showing my ignorance
I did not know there were services like that, how do you contact them, what are they called?
Pardon my ignorance but sm
When did they start using flash drives and how? Most of mine don't know how to use the computer! Please share. Sorry for your problem, sounds like the office manager is gloating over this - it's their problem, not yours. Charge them for the lines find out how computer literate the staff is. They usually pay peanuts and get monkeys!
myspace users or computer gurus
Okay, I'm not sure what I did, but here's the deal...When I log into myspace on my computer, I can't see any pictures. All of the other sites are fine, just not this one. However, if I log into myspace from a different computer, everything is fine. Any ideas? 
Just turned 40 last week, Not on myspace and won't allow my teens either. sm
I have a very fulfilling life with my husband, family and friends - don't see the need for myspace for folks my age.
As for the teens - there is just too much temptation on their for them to get in trouble. They are forbidden and I check the web as well as their computers, cookies, etc. every week to be sure they are in compliance. To much danger there for my son and daughter.
My daughter met her boyfriend on Myspace. He's an wonderful guy.
Be careful, yes, but don't automatically assume that everyone on a specific site is out to do harm. It just isn't so.
They say ignorance is bliss. You must be a very ingnorantly

scuz my ignorance, whats this about?
x
Their ignorance doesn't hurt me
as much as the ignorance of people who should know better - like our "supervisors" etc. The only answer to nurses or anybody else who thinks like them is to give them a test tape and let them "have at it". That's usually a good eye opener, or mind opener.
Ignore them - pure ignorance on the subject
Your obvious ignorance is not worth responding to, NM

Mensa AND common sense -- prejudice obviously ignorance
Oh bosh. I am a member of Mensa and a medical transcriptionist. I think it is VERY narrow minded of the whole bunch who criticize something they no NOTHING about. Mensa is simply an organization whose qualification is that you test in the top 2 percent on any of a couple of different IQ tests. High IQ and common sense are not mutually exclusive. I have two other comments: Intelligence is matriarchal (look it up) and if you would like the cheapest way of finding out your true IQ Mensa is generally the cheapest way to do it. It used to consist of 15 bucks and a Saturday morning at a university test -- but I'm sure there are more modern ways now. Contact American Mensa and find out. They are a very interesting bunch and have special interest groups which consist of just about any topic you can think of from alcoholics to chocoholics to irish dancing and beyond....
Should I chalk your post up to just plain old ignorance, the fact that you can't read or SM
are you just plain stupid!
Pardon me, but your ignorance and obvious lack of class are showing.

get a life, this is extensively documented. Pick up a book some time, ignorance
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
I think this goes to show you that SM
when a person goes to another place with the proper attitude (respecting the culture already there, appreciating it and being open to new experiences) you can have a wonderful time.
I think sometimes we in the U.S. have such a need to fashion everything into OUR way of doing things it ruins our ability to appreciate different countries/cultures.
show
I love the show. I think the people learning to dance are very brave. I love George H. too! Looks like a lot of hard work and that it is definitely outside their comfort zone. Good for them!
This just goes to show you that when the
first letters are right and the last couple are right, the mistake is easily missed. No spelling police here, right!?!
It won't show up. it says
1. How much money did you make?
2. Send it to us.
Yes, I know how to show myself as
offline on instant messenger. Sorry, I misunderstood the post. That doesn't make someone stupid because they don't know how to, though. I had never even used instant messenger until about 3-4 months ago. It is a learning process and no one should ever be called stupid because they have not yet learned something.
New to the show
Only recently started watching this show. What is wrong with his leg and why does he pop all those pills?
was that the show with the...
Dumb guy and his *polyfidelity* mumbojumbo??? I just saw bits and pieces of it, but boy if that was my husband...well let's just say he wouldn't be my husband...or anyone's husband...for long! Whatta jerk! 
What a show!
That guy was the biggest peice of trash I ever saw. Sometimes it just blows my mind why people as stupid as him want to come on national TV. Does he not realize he is a complete and utter fool? His wife is not much better either. UGH - She is only staying for the children and that is a shame. Honestly, I didn't really see any love between them.
