Have seen them twice (Las Vegas and L.A.). They put on great stage show. Tickets were under $100.

Celine. I'd love to see her Vegas show.
I only started listening to her about a year ago, but I've got several CDs that I play while transcribing.
Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
Great show!
Jerry Rice is good but cannot match Drew. What's up with the gangsta rapper? He should have gone first. He doesn't really care. I think he should have gone first. 
Rock on Drew.
Oh yes. This show is great.
 I love Cesar. He trips me out w/ all that dog stuff. I even attempted some w/ our dog, though it didn't turn out to well, but then again Cesar was not here to show me correctly. It is a good show.
It's a great show.. to the posters below who don't like it...
I always have trouble going into a show if I haven't seen it from the beginning. I sometimes wonder what all the hoopla is about on a show when I try to watch mid-season.This really is a great show, but the drama is overwhelming at times.
That was a great show! Thanks for the post!
I missed about 20 minutes of it, but recorded the rest. Fascinating look at the other side of things. I have always known that the Indian (whatever 3rd world country) workers themselves were not our enemies - its the govts as usual creating all this situation. And now their culture is crumbling and turning into our culture. Poor things! And, while I certainly don't want to lose my job to offshoring, they are right that we as Americans can rebuild our lives and reinvent ourselves. Those people die. They are desperate and that's why I give them 100% respect and anticipate them making leaps and bounds in the industry. They have a great incentive - pure survival. I have also QA'd lots of foreign work. There are occasional bad MTs, but there are some fantastic MTs as well. Sometimes far superior to the quality of USA MTs. So, I'll be looking over my shoulder for sure and keeping my skills current!
I saw a great show on public TV the other day with (sm)
Suze Orman about women & their money. One thing she couldn't emphasize enough (and which I totally agree, even if I don't always agree with her), is, "Ladies, you are NOT ON SALE." Selling ourselves short is the biggest mistake most of us (women) make in our lives. Anyone who accepts less pay tomorrow for work done just as competently as yesterday is putting themselves and their services ON SALE. Don't accept this back-stabbing offer. Find something else - this company obviously has only its own profits at heart, and could care less about its workers, the quality of its product, or the future of MT in general.
Rosie's old daytime show was great.

Great opportunity now. Work full time, show

saw a great show the other night where they separated with fabric strips that had been tie-died
using golf balls. I think this would look great and also be pretty see through so that your son felt like he had his own space but you would still be able to see what he was doing. With a three-year old, I guess you would use a permanent mount curtain rod so that he couldn't keep pulling it down. Good luck!
Maybe stage 1?

About the Tickets
Disney World is what runs Orlando, so you can purchase the tickets absolutely anywhere. International Drive is one of the big hubs of hotels/restaurants, if not the biggest, outside of the Disney grounds, so you will find tickets readily available anywhere there.
If you have the opportunity and the money, go to the Polynesian restaurant at the top of the Polynesian Hotel for dinner (not the lau (sp) - the restaurant - forget the name.) The view is spectacular, and the food is absolutely wonderful, and lots of it, too! All you can eat shrimp, beef, chicken, lamb, etc. cooked over spits Polynesian style........
Have fun.......
They even sometimes put your SS# on tickets
Along with your license plate number, drivers license number, address, and DOB like the article said. Unbelievable!!!!! And I just love how they justify it. I had to jump through hoops - background check, fingerprinting - to work at the county clerk's office doing what these people are. You know darn well those people aren't screened!
At my stage of farsightedness it has been
recommended by my ophthalmologist. but ONLY at this point in my deteriorating near vision. You do make a very valid point, as my ophthalmologist did warn me that I will probably eventually require bifocals. I would NEVER recommend dollar store reading glasses to a person that does not have regular eye exams. Deterioration of vision under any circumstance could be a warning sign of potential health problems.
I have been wearing glasses for far vision for almost 40 years. This near vision problem just started recently. I only use the dollar store reading glasses when I am wearing my contact lenses. I have routine eye exams every year, including glaucoma screening etc. and I am fortunate enough, at least for now, to be able to get away with dollar store reading glasses.
My appointment with the eye doc is coming up in December and I have this sinking feeling that the time has come for bifocals for my regular glasses or prescription reading glasses when I'm wearing my contacts. Worst case scenario would be bifocal contacts. WAY too expensive for those and I'm not THAT vain! I just like the far vision much better with contacts than with glasses.
Gosh, I'm only 45. I was in hopes that the companies that print the instructions/warnings, etc., on a bottle of over the counter analgesics were just making the print smaller.
Ain't life just grand? 
Stage Fright
In answer to your first question, I just hope MT stays lucrative at least until I can collect Social Security.....four more years, I think.
About stage fright, my son teaches fourth grade. He is a wonderful teacher and is to at ease with his students. But whenever he has to speak in front of any other type of crowd, he's a basket case. If you're meant to be a teacher you'll do fine. 
Cheap tickets.com
I got two round trip tickets for less than 500 on cheap tickets.com
WAY better - now there's actually room on the stage...
for all the others!
Idol Tickets
Dress up like a major fan with Idol T-shirt and other accessories and stand in front of local supermarket with a karaoke machine singing some famous Idol songs, "I believe", "A moment like this"! Oh, c'mon, that would be good! lol
I'm in the 'now what' stage, as well. I know I need -
to do something to get out of a profession that pays such low wages that I qualify for food stamps, but I'm pushin' 60, and it's getting a little late to go back to school, and working 12-hr. days, where would I get the time (or the energy)? I keep looking around for a profession involving writing/words, but the few I see out there, such as technical writers and other similar jobs, all want a B.A. degree. Most secretarial jobs require proficiency in computer programs I've never learned, and would again require going back to school. Would probably go back to an inhouse MT job (if I could find one.... they're kind of few and far-between), and I don't want to relocate. It really is a catch-22; need more education for the few jobs out there that I could do, but have to work so long & so hard each day at this one just to pay the bills and get by, that there's nothing left, unless I want to get by with little or no sleep each night. Flipping burgers at McDonald's is starting to look better and better.

grade versus stage
grades are regular numbers, 1, 2, 3, etc. Stages are I, II, III. It's easy to remember this way - The Romans are on the Stage.
not all kids go through the no grandparents stage (sm)
my son is 18 YO and guess where he takes his g/f on Friday and Saturday nights? To his grandparents house! He and his friends love to hang out at their house...dont' know exactly why, but I'm glad! At least I know they aren't out getting into trouble. If you start out building a strong relationship with your grandkids, they will always want to be with you...and don't act too much like a grandma to them, more like a good, um not friend, but just a good person! I think that's why my kids love the most about their grandparents. Kids are a blessing...at any age!
Orlando vacation tickets
We are planning a trip to Orlando over spring break. Does anyone have experience with purchasing tickets on-line or purchasing them at the hotel travel desk, pros and cons of each? We went years ago before Internet and purchased everything when we got there and would like to do that again. Any suggestions?
Not always true. $75 tickets online were only...
$56 when we got there. I'm very happy we waited! This was at Disneyland-Anaheim. The bad news is that they said the gaits would be closed by !0 a.m. or when the crowd reached 45,000, but that didn't happen. The park was terribly crowed, and we heard "upwards of 65,000" from a cast member later that day. Every ride had at least a 2-hour wait, and even Main Street was full of people - not just on the sidewalks, mind you, but the ENTIRE street from side-to-side! 
Welcome to Las Vegas
It's a very strange town to meet people. I've been here a long time. We can email if you want, although I'm not sure how to do that from here. LOL...
Las Vegas
Anybody know of a decent hotel to stay at in Vegas, not high end, but not low end either. I am going up there in two months to get married and really want a medium cost hotel, and would appreciate any input. Thanks!
vegas
I have been to vegas and have stayed in probably 6-8 different hotels. My preference by far is the Monte Carlo. Love the location, love the rooms, staff is great and a great plus is - I always win there! Congratulations to you!
Vegas
Hi everyone,
My husband and I are going to Vegas for our anniversary, does anybody know of a good show to catch while there? 
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order

Forget the money and tickets...just give me Mel! nm

The disney tickets cover 4 parks so you are not set in where you go- sm
They cover Disney, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MGM-Studios. With a park hopper pass you can bounce between all 4 Disney parks in 1 day and it only counts as 1 day/ticket. Without the hopper option you can only go to 1 park that day, of course these are a little cheaper. Check out the Disney web site, it will explain all the ticket options so you know what to ask for when you do get your tickets. Universal is separate, is 2 parks in one basically, one side is more kid oriented than the other. Sea World is separate too, they have a few rides there now too.
Beta is usually a program that is in the development stage
where lots of people use the program to test it out to help make it better and fix all the bugs before the final release.
Used MT Books Available for PU in Las Vegas
After changing carrers from our Home based MT business here in Summerlin-Las Vegas, we have collected a few dozen current and past MT and Medical-Word/Terminology books.
If you are having a somewhat hard time starting up yours, we know how difficult it can be and would like to donate these manuals free to a serious MT newbie in need if you can pick them up here in Summerlin, Las Vegas.
Please send us an email stating your true need and aspirations for MT carreer. We want to give the books somewhere where they will be most needed and used.
PLease send the email by Aug 12, after midnight we will review what ever emails we get and send further instructions for pick up. Thank you.
I'm from Las Vegas originally.
My siblings go through new relationships every 5 years. They've been married and divorced at least three times each during my one marriage. It's almost as if many of the people in Las Vegas think nothing of marriage and commitment. I know it's a generalization, but maybe there are more fish down there to play with? My brother's wife just walked out on him after he put her through college because she met someone else. My siblings don't hang out in bars or gamble or anything. I don't know why they keep meeting up with users.
Better hurry to Vegas (sm)
Heard her say on a talk show that she would very much like to give it up because of her son. Then told the story of her son seeing her perform for the first time, as he really had no clue what she did in reality. He said he didn't mind sharing her with the world! He had seen her perform and the audiences response. She just may give it up you never know.
My fave's VEGAS!
Anything Vegas is romantic to me......
Go there and find the best suite you can at one of the finer hotels; i.e., Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, Wynne, and then make reservations at some of the five-star restaurants - then top it off with a fine show, a few hands of black jack, a couple of Black Russians, and a helicopter ride over the strip at night, then if you have time, go to the top of the Stratosphere at their lounge and have another Black Russian. That view is TOTALLY romantic!
Whereever you choose, though, I have you have a totally romantic time!
I'm on my way to Vegas Friday! Thanks for your help and..sm
have loads of fun on your trips! Nothing better than working from home and being able to travel, so lucky we are!
makes sense, but I don't know if I could stand the "in-between" stage (nm)

Flamingo and wedding in Vegas
My daughter got married at the Flamingo last summer. It was very nice...no complaints.
We went to Disney in November. Definitely purchase your airline tickets on-line (sm)
I priced them through Travelocity and on the airline's web pages and I got a better price direct from the airlines. On NWA you can preregister on-line 24 hours before your flight leaves, so you just walk into the airport, drop your bags and head for the plane. For the parks, we booked everything through AAA. The price was about $100 less than booking direct with Disney on-line. There are very few places to get cheap Disney tickets, don't waste a lot of time trying. If you're staying on the Disney grounds, let me know and I've got TONS of tips for you. It is a GREAT place to vacation.
stage fright solution? I knew a wise older man once who
said the key was to think about the people you r speaking to, instead of yourself. Think about how much they need you, the positive effect you can have on their lives, the gift you are giving them in your education, how much they need the human contact, the kindness, the discipline, the "touch" of your voice and smile. Once the focus is off of YOU, and on THEM, it becomes much easier. Takes practice, tho.
Electronic gadgets, boxed movie sets, tickets to something

Local radio station is giving away American Idol concer tickets. sm
They're running a contest for 2 free tickets. With the entry, you have to list what you would be willing to do in exchange for these tickets. The best/most original idea will win the tickets. Any suggestions? It has to be something the person would really be willing to do. I really want these tickets!!
Thanks.. we love Vegas..get our rooms free and now you can pay like $10 for 24-hour internet service
Gotta love it.. Have fun on your trips too..
Angela, dont feel so bad..We have kids spread out from 25 down to 8 and they all LOVE Vegas. In fact
We take him to the M and M factory and there are a lot of different things for kids..He especially likes the swimming pools. Our teenagers love the malls/shopping and our 25-year-old goes with us to Nascar..So pack them kiddies up and head to vacation. You'd be surpised how much fun you could have. One year we took 4 of our kids for Christmas..it was strange without the snow but they really had a great time as Vegas goes all out as only Vegas could in Christmas style..lots of decorations, shows etc..
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.
