There is a church in Gonzales that is a small church but housing evacuees.
Helping a small church could be the best way to help someone.
Their web page says they need everything from personal items to clothing and bedding to food and water, don't forget first aid supplies. They said you could send money but there's nothing there to buy anyway.
The address is:
Gonzales Church of Christ
1225 South Purpura
Gonzales, LA 70737
Bigger churches have more people, it's the small churches that need outside help and don't qualify for Red Cross or anyone else to help but people like us.
Go to church.

Go to church
I do and have - but our church is small, almost all elderly people attend, and I don't seem to have much in common with the people who go there - age difference is probably the case. Thanks for the suggestion though!!

Try a different church.

Are they getting married in a church?
Do you have a preacher or someone he could speak with at your church? I will pray for you. I am so sorry you are going through this. What a mess. She'll be his "first divorce" as they say.
church sermons
Many churches tape their sermons for transcription and then they are posted on several web locations. Especially Lutheran Churches part of the Missouri Society.
I have filled the position, and regardless of the errors in my ad I received numerous resumes, well over 200 for just 2 positions. I appreciate all of the interest.
I also appreciate the remarks regarding the errors in my ad. I am sure those who were greatly upset by them did not apply. I will refrain from making comments on the errors in resumes I received. Being as small as I am, again, I appreciate having a location to find those individuals willing to take on a small portion to help me out. ( A dollar here, a dollar there adds up)
I wish you all good luck.
church sermon
I used to do denominational transcription "eons" ago. It is very interesting. Try churches... I am very sure there's people that could do it.
separation of church and state
was not the design of the forefathers. The origin was with Thomas Jefferson, when a minister asked that his denomination (don't remember which one) be considered THE religion of the country. Jefferson said he would not give preference to one religion over another. That's how the entire separation of church and state later came to be interpreted.
But despite the "evolution" of things, it's still an excellent idea. I feel that all religion in any way, shape, and form needs to be kept out of the public school system, and that includes closing the school for what are viewed as religious holidays (i.e. Good Friday).
While we're on the subject of church...
He is wanting to try counseling through church. I'm not sure how long to give this. Can you put a time limit on something like this??
Join a church? Seriously. I have a mom's group through the sm
church where we get together for lunch once a week amongst many other activities within our church. Fairly large church. Couldn't survive without it.
no wonder church attendance was down - all the jerks were
lol
anyone ever transcribe a church sermon?
how do I decide what to charge to do this? Flat rate? Per tape rate? per page? i don't think per line is a good way to go...
Where does it state in her post that she and her kids don't go to church?

Our church sends care packages....sm
Some of the things we send are:
Pretzels, chips like Pringles in a hard can, peppermint or hard candy, beef jerky, cheese crackers (the kind with cheese or peanut butter in them), the canisters of Oreos, Cheezits, etc.
If they have kitchen facilities or a microwave available to them: microwave popcorn, Ramen noodles in a cup, Cup of soup.
We also send word-search puzzle books, crossword puzzles, and perhaps some magazines that they might be interested in.
Hope this helps. :)
They are from the Westeboro Baptist Church in Topeka
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,217760,00.html
This above link goes to an update on Fox News about the group. They say they won't go to the funerals if given air time to "espouse Westboro's beliefs."
This quote is from the daughter of the "church's" pastor: "Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls — blah, blah, blah — they brought the wrath upon themselves," Phelps-Roper said, adding that the Amish "don't serve God, they serve themselves."
What an unbelievable world we live in.
Does anyone have any experience with church sermon transcription?
I've done a Google search and can't seem to find many ways to connect with companies or individuals seeking church sermon transcriptionists? If you have any information about this at all, please send me an email or respond on this board.
Thank you so much.
Pizza or grilled cheese...church tonight for me.
too!
This is a wonderful suggestion. The church I used to attend when I lived in KY
did this and I never got around to ordering. Of course that was five years ago and the world wasn't in the economic crisis it is in now, so I never really thought about it. I just now got the angel food website and found that a church in my small rural town participates and I'm definitely going to start ordering!
Entertain them? Chores? Church on Sunday? You women are a joke!
How you are reading that into my statements is really a hoot! Please tell me you don't have children! My, we are all on the defense over this - how many of you have no relationship with your kids? Soooooooo sad!!
Woops, meant to say the jeans and t-shirt are fine for CHURCH...

I would let DD go with Habitat for Humanity or a church mission, but not that wild party stuff.
:+
My kids play in a church basketball league and I am going to watch their games today.
I am going to whip up a fabulous dinner (have no idea what though) and watch a movie later tonight with the family. Church tomorrow!
Would love to make time for an eyebrow wax and pedicure in there somewhere just to spoil myself a little bit - probably not going to happen though!
The girl was 13, the rapist a distant relative they took in. Give money, give food and your time, b
you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."
A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post. 
Tell him you'll give him your macros if he'll give you his Lexus, his ski cabin, and (nm)

Thanks, I will give that a try:) nm

Give them whatever you
would give them at the "fairy tale" wedding. The honeymoon may be over by next year.
hum, I might have to give it a try, then...
Don't give it up
I have been hurt severely on several occasions... and on occasion yes... a bit gun shy for the first period back in the saddle. It does lessen and then goes away. Just trust in your knowledge and your experience. You have to trust your horse. Just go slowly at first. But do NOT give up. That is the worst thing that you can do. You have to face it and it slowly you will relax more. Keep in mind that your horse will know/will feel your hesitancy and your fear. In order for him/her to be relaxed, you must try to as well. That is why going slowly at first will help regain your confidence. Just around the ring maybe for a bit.... then a little more open. Work yourself back up to your usual routine. Good luck!
Thank you, will give a try

I would rather be alone than to give into it and you could , too.

give it 5 min and this one

Right. I think I am going to give that a

don't give up
There is no reason to give up just because you failed a test. I have tested with a few companies and changed jobs a couple of times through my six years of transcribing. I had no training either. I had a very special family member who helped me out(she owned her own business). I trained through the summer when I was in high school with her and by the time I was about 20 I was working part time with her. Just because you are switching from tapes the computer based files doesn't mean that you can't do the work. It may take a little time getting used to it, but there shouldn't be any reason to not be able to do the work. Just like any other job, you may have to put in some applications at various places and go on interviews, and it may take some time, but you will eventually find a job. As far as transcribing, I notice many places require either a c-phone or being able to install Express Scribe or a similar program on your computer. If you don't have one, you can probably find a c-phone on ebay for around $200. Just try to stay away from the larger MT companies and you should be okay. I notice the smaller ones are easier to find a job with.
One can't give up a job, even a bad one,
that pays the bills, dead end or not. I think if this were me, I'd keep the job and take a better school that will mentor me into a job at the end of it. Nobody that I know would be able to give up a paying job to take on a mentored position for no pay. Another option would be to find a different job that is nights and do the free internship during the day. Either way you'd win in the end. Best of luck to you.
They will give you everything
When you order, they mail you the adapter that you need and since you have a router, you are good to go.
Okay, I give up.
It has no appeal. Just a job.
Give this a try...sm
Brown 1 pound hamburger and drain. Add 1 jar Prego spaghetti sauce, 1 8-oz can tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water. Simmer for 10 minutes or so.
Cut a loaf of French or Italian bread into 1-inch slices. Place in 1 layer on the bottom of a 13 x 9 pan.
Mix together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup sour cream, and 2 tbsp of Hidden Valley Ranch dry dressing. Spread this over the bread. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese all over this. Sprinkle half of an 8 oz bag shredded mozarella over the parmesan.
Pour the spaghetti sauce mix on top. Sprinkle some more parmesan and the rest of the mozarella cheese on top.
Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Thanks, I'm going to give that a try
when I'm working and for sleeping. The doctor tells me that it is important to keep everything moving to avoid getting too stiff; however, I do think I need to try a soft neck collar or rolled up towel as you suggested especially when working. I think that may really help take some of the stress off. I will be talking to my therapist about it when I go as well. Thanks so much for the tip!
Did I ask you to give up ANYTHING!!??
Nope! If you want to ride all over town burning up expensive gasoline and putting wear and tear on your car, with your fingers on the steering wheel instead of on the keyboard making $$$, be my guest. Now let me guess Patty - next you're going to tell us that you don't drive a car, you ride a bike or scoooter instead to and from your doctor's offices and you're so fast on the keyboard that it doesn't matter you spend four hours out of the day riding up and down the interstate weaving in and out of traffic picking up and delivering, you still make the same amount! HAH!
no, I don't give them that...*lol*...ya nut!!..nm
I say also, don't give up sm
Had a cat that went missing for about 2-3 weeks, we found him under the house.
p.s. All my cats growing up used to drink from the toilet (my dogs too!!). Never hurt them.
Thank you!...I shall give it a try..nm

thanks! I will give it a try! :-)

Oh, I give up! You know what I mean!

I'd give anything just to have A doc like that
practically ALL of my docs are like that and this has been my experience my entire MT career UGH it really makes me cranky
Don't give up...sm
not everybody on this board, or other boards, are that rude. It is VERY hard trying to break into this field as a newbie. I know that from personal experience, and so should every body here, as they were newbies once too. Some got lucky and basically had their jobs handed to them, but most sent resumes and tested until they were blue in the face, but eventually some company gave them a chance. Once that happens, just stick with it until you have a couple of years of experience. Try everything they throw at you, and believe me, it will be the worst of the worst, but it will make you a good MT. When you gain confidence, then move on, if you want to, to better pastures. If it is the rudeness that is bothering you, well, other than trying to have a lot of patience, I cannot really help with that. Some of these people can be downright vicious and it really gets my dander up sometimes. I get defensive and argue back, but then after I cool off some, I think about how my anger made me look and feel, and how the rude ones are SO NOT WORTH IT, and I get over it. It is hard sometimes, believe me, I know. I have been told that I have an anger problem, I am nuts, and I should seek psychiatric therapy just for stating my opinions. Some people just seem to get their jollies by seeing if they can push your buttons. Learning to deal with the criticism is all a part of growing up. When it gets to me too much, I stay away from this place for a couple of days, and then things get better. There really are A LOT of nice people on this board though, you just have to learn who they are and stay away from the rest. Good luck to you. Some of us DO care about the young'n's.
How would you even give them to him?
If you can print them, then I'd say sure. Print them, charge him per line x3 or something like that. Tell him though you must charge because you did (at one time) type them. You need to charge him for what you typed... That should lighten the blow... I wouldn't hold a grudge. He'll be calling you when the VR SUX! Good luck... believe me, he'll call ya' in about a month either to edit the VR for him or to say he wasted his money! 
Don't give up
Sure it's hard, but very few things in life are easy. It may take you some time to find a job that is newbie-friendly, but keep looking (hopefully you have other employment while you look). And keep studying the terminology. None of us did it perfectly the first time.
Just hang in there.....you've worked too hard to give up now.
