deleted because the new guy doesn't want people to think maybe she's right and he isn't. I still think if Sheri put her phone number on her site then maybe she's telling the truth.

"Saving Keystrokes" by Diana Rolland sold on the Stedman's site.
Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores also have it, too. It was a good book with plenty of hints on using expanders.
No, I'm not Sheri.......but........
You asked this on a public forum. Do you honestly not expect any kind of response from others? Are you so single-minded that you actually believe that? Gimme a break.
You may choose to celebrate or not celebrate Christmas Day as most living humans do. That is certainly your choice. No one told you NOT to. So, why in the world would you post something like this, in this period of goodwill toward our fellow man, here?
Why must there always be someone who wants to start a conflict? Can we at least call a truce for Christmas, for Pete's sake? (And, yes, I know Pete and he has given me permission to use his name involving "sake"!)
Sheeesh.......
Thank you, Sheri.
There is so much subterfuge and backstabbing with some of our jobs these days, that it is rare and refreshing to have someone come and explain their views in a professional and thoughtful manner. You are right, I guess it is inevitable that offshoring is here to stay...it just makes me feel really sad when I see what has happened to our industry. We never did really receive the recognition that we deserve for the complexity of our profession and now, any faint remainder of dignity is completely gone. I am just downhearted about the whole state of affairs. Where does one go after wasting 30 years of one's life in a dead-end job? I'm tired of fighting for the respect that never did materialize after all....
Thank you Sheri for not catering in....sm
to the small percentage of people that have decided to try to take CHRIST out of Christmas. Gimme a break. I got an e-mail from a friend who recommends that everyone who believes it should be CHRISTMAS, not "happy holidays" or "holiday tree" etc. to send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS card and tell them to leave our holidays alone. Their address is: 125 Broad Street, 18th Floor New York, NY 10004
If people who want to celebrate CHRISTMAS flood them with cards then they'll have to open them - after all, they want to see if there are donations in them, correct? Let them spend some employee time opening cards! Also I wonder if the ACLU employees are required to work on Christmas? How about New Year's? After all - I'm sure that with every federally recognized holiday that someone out there is *offended" and therefore the ACLU should never be closed right???
For anyone who reads this and is offended by CHRISTMAS - I supposed you're volunteering to work on December 25th so that those who do celebrate it can take off correct? I get tired of people stating they don't think we should celebrate CHRISTMAS but yet they're often times the first people to request to be off on December 25th. Double standard!
I'll get off my soapbox now and get the fingers moving again!
Thanks Sheri for your good
old-fashioned values. We need more of the same. Hooray.
Question for Sheri (only)
I am only interested in her response, since she is the moderator, and it is her response that will decide what I do next.
If I respect anyone who celebrates December 25th as a religious holiday, will I receive the same courtesy in return (to not celebrate it as a religious holiday)?
I haven't celebrated December 25th as a religious holiday since I was a kid. I don't see it that way. I've also used the "Xmas" spelling since my early 20s, along with the spelling of G*d, and "JC."
Will I be allowed to post my messages with these spellings, or can I expect them to be blasted (like last year) or deleted?
Like I said ... I'm not denying anyone the right to believe as they do. I'm only asking the same courtesy in return.
Sheri from MT stars
Sheri, I just wanted to let you know that I have not received an e-mail giving me a chance to draw from the gift bag. I made a donation using paypal on December 2nd and have not heard anything. I do have the reference number for verification.
I'm with you 100%, Sheri, and am very proud of your
/
Why are you speaking for Sheri?
Who made you team leader of the hijack news? This gets more strange by the minute. I feel like I'm watching an episode of LOST.....cause I'm LOST!!!!
Paid, thanks to MT Stars and Sheri
I had an issue with an MTSO who had ads on this board. I contacted Sheri (board owner), who made haste in getting in touch with the MTSO. As a result, I was paid today.
Many thanks to Sheri and MT Stars for your support, concern and willingness to get involved!!!!!!
Thankful MT!!!!!!!!
WAY TO GO, SHERI STEADMAN!! I just now saw your post
a
Merry Christmas, Sheri!
I'm tired of all the anti-Christian sentiment in this country too.
Is there a reason you answered for Sheri
I think *that* shows a lack of respect for someone. I also said Sheri ONLY was to answer the question (because she is the administrator of the board).
And in terms of "when in Rome do like the Romans do ..." Just call Rosa Parks.
Hurrah for you, Sheri. I agree!!!!
:)
Sheri, can you at least file a claim
for the automatic $100 of insurance UPS has? I know it won't help immediately, but perhaps you can recover something.
Sheri...does that mean that the job seeker's board will have sm...
companies posting jobs that off-shore transcription? I am trying to find an office that does not off shore due to the difficulty of the reports left over for the US MT, so I need to be careful if that is the case. Thank you!
I think that's a very fair compromise, Sheri. nm

I got the cool T-shirt! Thank you, Sheri. It was a pleasure to participate. SM
I commend you on making the world a better place!
how do you know for certain that Sheri is not an honest person? and Dr. Ahmed is from Pakistan, the
or is there any owner here. No one answers any of my questions. I have been posting all day.
I am assuming you are talking about Sheri. What answers of hers are not lining up?
What info do you have that I do not or others? Never heard of you either, American regular MTstarser??? Strange posted by if you ask me.
I've read the statement; think sheri sat on this and lost it for both of them out of spite
matches her personality.
I think MQ will be/or is sold too
 I think it for several reasons
like the person above says......it's an albatross
I never thought MQ/phillips would keep it in the first place - it has outlived it's usefullness which was to get their hands into hospitals on a personal basis - they want to do billing and they want to sell them VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEMS...they don't want to do transcription...no person in their right mind would...it's labor intensive and a pain in the butt.
Frank doesn't know anything about MTing - he knows elevators .....and how to dismantle companies.
So all in all, I'm totally shocked it isn't sold yet.
Plus I see accounts leaving MQ offices and nobody saying anything like - we need more accounts.
They say they want to be "leaders in the MT field" but never come up with a plan.
The only people getting "good benes" are "employees" in the offices, yet are closing down offices. And when they finally do close down completely they will have very few people to pay unemployement to because they have squeezed us all into SE status.
Well, that's my answer.
I think you sold me
I have a gift card for Sephora (from Christmas) and was thinking of trying some. I use prescriptives, which is OK, best I have found so far, but I think I may try the Bare MInerals, especially with summer coming up.
Work is sloooooow today so I think I may just go place my order. Might as well do something fun on my downtime. So far I have mopped the kitchen and vacuumed while waiting for work.  Time to shop!
So what if it is. He said he sold it (sm)
who to trust is a big mystery, he said, she said. She seems to have deceived us all. It doesn't matter to me anymore. Everyone needs to get along and move forward. Things change. Yesterday is old news. Today is a new day, hope everyone enjoys it.
Spain sold to the U.S? ever
Guadalupe Hidalgo and U.S.land grabs?
If your assertions are correct about new immigrants not serving this country in the last 25-30 years why don't you respond to the post above about the disproportionate number of hispanics dying in Iraq?
I've read your posts before and you just don't seem to like anybody who isn't just like you....Hispanics, African-Americans and you tell Native Americans to "get over it"...but I'm the ignorant one,huh? So I doubt it would matter if we all spoke perfect English.
Has anyone ever sold jewelry?
I want to sell a DeBeers' diamond that will get me out of a tight financial bind. However, an ad in the the newspaper made me think of how easy it would be to knock my over and steal my ring. The jewelry stores said that it would sit on their shelf possibly for a few months. My dog is requiring emergency vet care and it is going to total much money. I know the pawn shop is a possibility. Any ideas? I hate this idea because I know I will not get what it is worth but it is the one thing I have that would bring me hard cold cash. Thanks!
Have you sold your soul yet to them? nm
:
you may have been sold that policy
it doesn't mean you could have collected on it.
membership sold
Yes, AAMT does sell membership list with your info -- I asked. Is one of their main sources of revenue. Then I asked to be removed from the list they sell and the calls became less frequent. Then I didn't renew.... ha.
First co went broke, so went to second, which sold
xxxx
I succumbed, then sold it
Been MTing for a very long time. I've learned that every employer has their own idea of what's right and what's wrong. At the same time, even if they demand going by the BOS, their intepretation of the BOS is what's right and what's wrong. Not everyone, even within one company, agrees about how things are done. Period. So, I got some money out of the book (after never opening it, even once), and I listen to the dictates of the boss, because that's what's "right". It changes with each job. I learn during the probation period what all those things are. Don't need it after that.
It will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe it will get sold
.
My neighbor across the street did that...sold
I was dying to ask her how much she got for her house but didn't want to be too nosy, so I didn't. She was pregnant with twins and near the end of her pregnancy and not able to work full time anymore, and her husband had lost a good job and was working at a lower paying job to just try to get by, and the house only had 2 bedrooms and they already had a son and were having twin girls, and she didn't say but I think they were having trouble paying their mortgage.
Anyway, although I don't know if they got a fair price for their house I know the whole transaction was very fast and easy. She told me that THEY were allowed to set the date that the house changed hands; it was totally up to them. The whole thing was done in a just a couple of weeks, because they wanted to move and get settled into a place (they rented a duplex) with more bedrooms before the twins were born.
She told me that part of the reason they sold it like that was that the house needed some work done to it before they tried to sell it, and they just didn't have the time or the money to do it.
But, I have to say the company that bought it didn't do anything either. She told me they told her they were going to go in and do work to it and then rent or sell it. Well they didn't do a thing that I saw - no one was ever there working on it. They put a sign in the yard that it was for sale or rent and within a couple of weeks someone bought it.
Sold your info to who and put it on internet why?
Most of your info is public domain anyway.
This is the only way my husband and I have sold our homes. sm
And it was very easy despite what naysayers may thik or say. My husband is very knowledgable with real estate law, so that helps us a great deal. He has all the forms you need on our computer, etc. He can communicate well with others, etc. He asks for earnest money and he does ask if they have already been pre-approved or if their house if for sale, etc.
Since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, I can go anytime and show any one of our homes for sale.
You can definitely do it yourself. Don't be afraid and don't let others intimidate you. My parents "lost" 30,000 in real estate fees in Alaska. Basically, they went to an agent who put their house up for sale. The agent never showed up to the open house, my mom had about 15 people come and look that afternoon and she had no idea what to do. One of the guys who attended was an officer in the military who wanted a contract signed THAT DAY. My parents state that the only good thing her real estate guy did was provide an office for the paperwork to be signed. There was a high demand in her neighborhood at the time (about 3 years ago).
I've sold my eggs...
well, my chicken's eggs really. Although now that I rethink that, perhaps selling various pieces parts would pay a few more bills....hmmm....
Seasonal things make good spare cash too like an honor-system veggie table parked at the end of the driveway and homemade wreaths and x-mas centerpieces made from local greenery.
Oh the possibilities are endless if you posess a certain moral flexibility! I've been thinking of rigging up a pay-per-view "boobie cam" pointed my way to make some extra cash while I type away. "PayPal Accepted!"
Yes, but that's been for a while now. AAMT sold us up the river.
I knew they sold us up the river, but
I didn't think (well hoped) they didn't have the you know what to totall and completely sell us out by letting them test before the US MTs were even eligible. That is just WRONG!
I sold out once to a company that offshored
Still dealing with the ID theft issues. They repeatedly broke into my computer. This was a US company that used offshore MTs, and I am telling you what, it has been a nightmare. I will never work with anyone who will consider offshoring nor will I ever let anyone install a platform on my computer system again. Tsk, Tsk? Say that when you spend a few days on the phone with all of your financial institutions and 6 months later having to scan every piece of info on your credit report. Not every one is shady but think about what you open yourself up to.
No, taken back by THE owner, then sold.
Built by the guy in Pakistan and run in Sherri's name. IMO the only reason she doesn't have her site up is that SHE doesn't know how. She sat back and had this guy do the work (offshoring) and collected money. Now she's scrambling to find someone to build her site over there.
The adaptor is sold on ebay and
through their website at www.tvps.com. Cost around $22 shipped from ebay. It works good, but the prongs are a slightly loose fit in the plug; I'm not sure if that's a problem with the adaptor or the plug itself. Nonetheless, I'm able to use my better quality headphones. I believe the company that sells these also offers a 60 day warranty on the item when it's purchased. :)
So you sold your soul for a severance wad?
Re: the letter - the paper wants to know if what you've written them is on the up and up. A reputable rag checks it sources for accuracy and truth. If they print the story, you can ask not to have your name or company printed (though I doubt they'd do it anyway) but unless they have real facts, real names, and real experiences, they're not necessarily going to believe that what you tell them is true. There is always SOME risk when you want to make changes, but in this case I think it's almost nil. Still, refusing to accept the risks associated with change often means a person is willing to SETTLE for the status-quo.
the other poster is correct you sold sm
your sold for a wad! Sounds like you are trying to live on both sides of the fence! you have no credibility here and probably will never have any credibility with MTs again. Take your gripe elsewhere!
I mean the post below regarding MQ being sold. I have tried to attach link.
I'm gonna speculate and guess that MQ has been sold. ???
you a package is coming unless it is a legal maneuver?
They never cared before that we understand anything about their company and if Philips has truly written off $438 million or something like that this year for MQ, why would they keep it?
I have a question for the poster whose son sold a Twinkie :)
and then ate the other one.
What is he doing now? I'm figure he's either a lawyer or in sales.
Thanks for the laugh. I just thought that was so funny.
I haven't sold much on E-bay, but I'm selling lots of
things on my local Craigslist and you don't have to worry about shipping or paying a commission. I have some things that just aren't selling, but I relist about once a week and out of 5 items maybe 1 will sell. I'm hoping to cut back my hours next month and start listing more things. I have one room full of stuff, probably only 2% of stuff I even want to keep. I figure I can declutter and make some $$ at the same time. I'm no where near making enough to consider quitting, but every little bit I make goes towards debt.
At one time, I was an MTSO, but sold & retired from
MT last year. I do, however, still own, operate, and offer MTStars to American MTs.
Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
Yes, you sure do! We have sold since 1998, I believe. I'll never forget my first negative.
I sold a collectible PEZ angel dispenser. It sold for like $200. I had a hard photo, as in like a photo we developed from Kodak. My husband and I were SO excited, we nearly fainted. We took the thing to a professional packer, can you imagine? Back then, nobody sent packages - know what I mean? Maybe only sweet grandmas and mothers with kids at college! So, we paid nearly $20 to have this professionally packed, shipped it insured for $300, etc. Well, the buyer got it and claimed it was smashed to pieces. UPS investigated, and they are REALLY fair about this stuff - the box was unblemished - perfect condition. Because a UPS rep had packed it, it was packed to perfection and their specs, so they refused to give the guy a refund, and told us that he was a scammer. Back then in the early years of E-Bay, scammers would buy collectibles, get them shipped, and then return a broken/damaged one they had laying around already. Bait and switch! And many buyers got bullied into giving them their $$ back. So this guy went NUTS on us, demanding the $200, which was long gone for groceries! Plus he was lying, and UPS said so!! Well, he left me the most scathing negative. My very first feedback! I cried and cried and cried. Wrote to E-Bay, wrote to the President, wrote to my mother - nobody cared back then and feedback was NEVER removed no matter what. I'll never get over that first negative. Now its a scam - if you get a negative, you basically go to that company that E-Bay owns - not safe harbor - something else - the name escapes me, but they even "guarantee" some sellers. Anyhow, you go to them and basically pay $10 to $20 and your negative gets miraculously "removed"...So, even feedback really isn't reflective of the truth anymore...My husband still sells, but my heart just isn't in it anymore. He uses the $$ he makes for buying more junk to sell! It keeps him amused and out of trouble, and he's happy if he has $20 in his pocket (not much $$ in the MT world anymore!)....
Unless you have DEFINITIVE proof that MQ has sold, DO NOT post innuendos here.
All posts referencing a so called MQ sale have been removed. Posters should be above pettiness by posting rumor. FACTS speak volumes.
