I just had a go-round with my 11yo this morning

She has been told more than once, no makeup - yet there she was this morning wearing eye makeup. I took it off her myself, which she did not like at all. Lip gloss I can live with but the rest will have to wait. She tells me "third graders at school wear makeup," and "the school lets us," to which I replied, 'their mother is not your mother, the school is not your mother, and you are not wearing makeup - end of discussion.' Don't know if you all have the problem with your young daughters trying to "push your buttons" like ours does (by this I mean she says/does things purposely to get a rise out of my husband or me, but mostly me). I have caught onto this manipulativeness, and now when it happens I remind myself I am the one in control, that I need to stay calm, and then I mete out the circumstances. Funny, but my calmness actually seems to infuriate her! Apropos, don't you think?

Uh oh! Sounds familiar. I have an 11yo too. sm
She is my 4th out of 4 and, believe me, times have really changed over the years.
Some of these 5th grade girls come to class all made up, tight jeans, etc., and their parents ALLOW it! One of my daughter's classmates has cable TV in her bedroom and can watch MTV and horror movies, etc. AND she has her own cell phone! That's just plain nuts.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but when I hear, "well Susie gets to do this and that," I say, "You're not Susie and you know the rules." Sure she'll experiment. My older kids did, but they knew in their hearts I didn't approve.
One thing I did do was yank the cable. Oh pity, too bad, you don't get to watch garbage on TV now do you? I'm such a MEAN MOMMY. 
My 23-year-old daughter pulled a ton of stuff on me growing up and now she's a mom. You should hear her talk about setting curfews, etc. I'm like, "Uh, you have a good 6 months before potty training yet."
Morning baby, morning adult. Kids born at 11:30AM (both) are night owls, however. Go figure! :) nm

Outsourcing topic on Good Morning America this morning....
nm
Ok, maybe I should just stay in bed LOL How about "every morning" not everyone morning. Wow. C
round up also
Just noticed that they also round up if it is .50 or above. So maybe this evens things out.
oh the QA merry-go-round!
year-round school! nm

those round bulbous things
I think you'll find that a great many breast augmentation procedures (you'll see them all through the www.implantinfo.com website) have that particular appearance. Go back and choose to look at the pictures from physicians rather than patients.
I think cost has a lot to do with it. The more expensive the procedure, the greater the likelihood of a more natural appearance.
I have a Dell Inspiron and there is a round
hole in the back just like they have on a desktop. I think it is a PS2. Mine has a picture of a mouse and keyboard underneath the hole. The foot pedal depends on what kind it is. I use a game port but don't have a game port so have to use an adaptor to convert it to a USB. I have a serial port which is 9-pin and it is right side my keyboard connection.
Homeschool, so year-round fun! nm

To "Typed in the USA," here's your chance to round up the other MTs!
I know there were many other MTs who expressed desire to form a new company - what a coinky dink that someone needs an MTSO with a group of MTs to take 5000 lines a day! Go for it :)
Oh...and email me if you need another gal :)
3 months on and 1 month off, all year round.

Speak for yourself. Her books go in the round file
has done nothing for transcription as far as I can see.
I learned proper grammar in school. I learned how to type in typing class. I follow the directions and policies of the company I'm working for at any given time.
That's about all a person needs. The world sure doesn't need Tessier. After all these years what did she ever do for MT?
I know I have no love lost for AAMT and those people. They are drawing a salary for what?? Why am I sitting here making less in 2005 than I did in 1995? And I am being offered even less on MQ's new platform?
Beats me. And how come sometimes they are those round bulbuous things?

Would you make a 60 mile round trip every day
I have been driving back and fourth to a hospital for over a year. It is 30 miles away. I have to put two small children in daycare close to my home because it is more affordable then the ones close to where I work. This is another issue. If I have to take them to the doctor or if they have anything going on at the daycare that I can attend well, I have to take a full day off. The pay at this hospital is only 9 cpl so the pay is not what is really keeping me it is the bennies. $65/month covers my kids and I. It is excellent coverage too. We also have a 401k plan where they match. We also have flex spending, PTO which is about used up because we keep running out of work. We are only allowed to get sick 5 times a year, that includes family too if we have to take off. I have asked to work at home because they have home MTs. I used to be one of them but they moved me in house they did not like my slow internet connection. Now that we have cable internet available I asked if can go back home and they seem to give me the run around like it is either "not in their budget" or “maybe in a month or two” but that never comes. These outsourcing companies keep dancing around. I just really want to be back home closer to my kids and so I can eat lunch with my husband again. I do know that any job I get there will be pitfalls. I am just afraid of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
Is this for a conference, round-table discussion, or what? nm

Dinner help! I have a beef round rump roast.. help!
 any interesting ideas?
Doesn't sound round, makes no sense.
oh my production is cut in HALF!! wish we had year round school. nm

drove 80 miles round trip to work for $5/hr...sm
sitting in a metal folding chair at a folding banquet table, banging away on a Selectric in a room full of smokers. This was a service that would UPS cassette tapes out to your home when you started working from home. Obviously this was 25 years ago. After two weeks, the owner let me go and told me he couldn't make money off of me, even at $5/hour. But then I applied at the hospital for a radiology transcription position (because now I had experience!) and they hired me because I was the only one who would work on Saturdays. When I consider what I had to go through to break into the field, makes me laugh when I see newbies fresh out of school with no experience asking for 6 cents a line to work from home...I guess just understand you do what you have to do to break into the field. That goes for every job that is hard to get into. 
I have to say I am just sick over the recent round of school violence
My daughter's Middle School implemented some new safety measures this year. Visitors have to be "buzzed in" and when the kids go from building to building they must use their ID cards to enter the doors.
But one day my daughter forgot her clarinet and my husband took it to her. We are talking about a "country-boy" looking man carrying a small black case. A teacher and her class was exiting the main building and the teacher actually held the door for my husband to enter as they were exiting. She had no idea who he was. Scary.
Anyway, it seems the Amish shooter targeted that school so he could avoid the security measures that have been established in most schools in recent years.
My heart goes out to the families who lost and for those sitting at the bedside of the remaining girls. I hope and pray they will recover.
Thanks for letting me ramble. This has really been on my mind a lot lately 
Sorry about typos, sheesh...been sick and today down for round 3 sm
of cold, bronchitis and mild pneumonia. Every time I get better I start in from the beginning with this illness! This is why I have settled for a significantly lower line rate to go where there are affordable benefits like health insurance so I can treat these things instead of being sick for over a month now and can't afford to go to the doctor because I can't work at my usual level. Goodness me.
We're in CA and have a lot of year-round schools. I like it better than the traditional schedule.

I can here this morning
For the first time. I don't know who you are and who you are lashing out at but YOU need help.
Got her in this morning, thanks. NM

Doing 60 lph this morning so far. : (
I get up every day with a positive attitude, and start typing away. Same BAD dictators, skipping all around in reports, and some areas garbled beyond recognition. I'm just venting, but it is so hard to keep going on day after day like this, making no money and being frustrated beyond belief. It takes so many hours just to make 1000 lines like this. ARGH~!!!!!!
I did everything this morning between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM.
Now I am sitting here after having had a tea party with DD, decided to check out the boards, and will hopefully have some more work in a bit. I always end up getting my line count by the end of the day, but when I'm in "the zone", it is frustrating to have to wait for work to come in.
I got up this morning and...
called my Daddy to tell him what I did. I am crying again, but these are tears of empowerment and true joy. I put my music on, rather than that darn TV that he was addicted to and my children are dancing. DANCING! We were opposites on so many levels and had nothing in common. He has no more control and I am sooooo okay for the first time maybe ever. I feel so strong with all of you behind me. Your words I will cherish forever. God Bless All of You! More updates to come...   
Did you see GMA this morning....sm
story about working at home as a customer service rep.... anyone not happy with job/and or income should check it out.
a pot a day...in the morning though
Couldn't go without it!
Your morning
ROFL! That darn gravity! I always told my kids that if there was no arterial spurting or bones protruding through the skin, get ready for school.
Then why were there 152 on this morning?
And 57 on in the middle of the night? Honestly people...can you really be this suspicious of the entire world?
GOOD MORNING!
Let's here some positive thoughts for the day, okay? I like my job (Not love because I'd rather not have to work at all)! I have worked at some nice offices and not so nice offices but this is the best. My own! (Finally finished office after adding on 4 years ago) Sure, I have bad days when I really don't feel like working or the phone rings 100 times a day or DH or kids need this or that every 5 minutes but for the most part where could I work with no one breathing down my neck or I can get up and get a drink of water or go to the bathroom without having to tell someone that I'm doing it and still get paid twice I would be making if I was still in-house.
Come on! Let's here positive things and encourage each other today! (I am not slamming any complainers because I am one also, just want some positive input today)
I love this board!
Our prices went from $2.55 to $2.99 this morning. nm

I heard about this on CNN this morning, however
The employer deducts it on their taxes to charity and the employee has lower income, hence not paying taxes on that amount.
I do sometimes but usually do the lunches in the morning -sm
I now start earlier, i.e. 6:30/6:45 and have it all done by 7, (was stressed myself last year) get the shoes on, hair brushed, kids fed, teeth brushed by 7:20 then do our 6-mile drive to the bus stop. Can be rushed some, but now not so nuts and better organized this year. Just give yourself an extra 15 minutes and pre-do all the stuff you can the night before, i.e. potato/corn chip bags, crispy bars, whatever. Makes it much smoother.
When I got up this morning I saw the words
"bodies found" and had to rub my eyes to see if I was dreaming.
