I just saw a great one where he found a lady friend for a woman's boxer dog.

It was cool how he treated the dog so differently from the woman, and dogs respond very quickly to him. To allow the two boxers to get to know each other in a natural way and allow all their social interactions to progress where he could monitor them, he had to ask the woman to stay out 100 feet away. Otherwise she would have been smothering them with kisses - just her way. The two boxers hit it off, going through all the right social behaviors so they could get to know each other and not squabble.

Woman's best friend .....
I worked with a woman in her mid 80s. Did your friend/coworker live in Calif. by chance?
She was great.
Did you notice, it was a citizen/WOMAN who found her, not LE!
So we have ELIZABETH SMART.....noted by a woman in a passing car who id'd ES.
The police didn't do squat to find poor Jessica Lunsford - trampled all over the evidence, knocked on the door when the child was THERE! AND NOW they have screwed up the case so bad this maniac may "walk".
Now it was a woman waitress who ID'd Shasta.
The little girl in south Florida was left in a horrible home environment and was killed by what? a criminal
Yeah, I'm not real impressed with law enforcement.
What a great woman she was!!!......R.I.P......nm

I had a good friend who did it and I found out... and
when I found out it was when I was promoted to the transcription regional manager for the branch. It was up to me to do random QA and invoicing to make sure everything was okay. It was really, really sad because my very best friend there who started with me at the same time, on the same great account (we both did well, and this was back in the late 80s early 90s). So, about 6 years later, when I decided to go into QA and then management I did a random on my friend. This was absolutely just by chance. Well, I found out she was padding her lines about 12000 lines per pay period!!!!!!!I cannot tell you how shocked I was. These were the days we went according to bites and divided, etc. We were even allowed to use codes and that was okay too for the extra lines, like bolding, remember. Well even so, she was adding about 6K lines a week and no wonder she was making so much money. She used to laugh when we were friends because she'd put the book on the dictaphone pedal while she ran errands.
My heart broke that day. I asked her to please don't do it anymore. Well, unfortunately she did not listen to me and she got in big trouble. She was not fired, but I do not know what happened because between that and a wage cut some VP did on my MTs, I quit management. BTW: The padding in the case then was because it was an honor system. The MT was to look at the bytes and divide and type on a sheet and send the totals in, much like recent times for some companies. Only these days the software calculates it and usually it is the MTSO that can cheat by cutting line counts in deceptive ways. Oh, my, please this is a long enough note and don't get me started. I may have to hit the New Year's bottle and I don't want to do that because I go to work at 3 AM. LOL . HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. See you NEXT YEAR heh heh.
I LOVE a woman with a great sense of humor! hahahaha!! nm

I think its great what you did for your friend
A few of us were planning an "intervention" where we confront her basically to tell her we think she needs help, because the pain has made her very depressed and she is just not herself anymore. I will look into finding her a rheumatologist myself, since that is probably all it takes, and also pushing her in the right direction. Although like your friend, I know she will be angry, but gotta do it. She can barely move and I can see the pain on her face. I don't think anyone should live in chronic pain.  Thank you for your kind words
You have great taste, my friend!
Therapy for what? Because I don't support any woman who spouts an idea because she is a woman?
And you fall into the "therapy" or drug routine? Why not address the issues. You want women to support women no matter how ridiculous the idea is or you want to support a truth, no matter who tells it. The rest of the "therapy" crap you post is BS. You must know that by now.
Found a great eponym website! sm
This has been helpful to me. I thought I'd share for those of you who haven't already discovered this website.
Hope it is helpful.

I found a GREAT job by posting my resume here. :-)
I didn't have much faith in the process since I have heard that hundreds of people respond to each ad posted, but decided to give it a try anyway ... and I'm glad I did. I was contacted by a small company with a great owner who pays well and treats me with courtesy and respect. Thanks MT Stars! 
I found a great free utility...
after making myself nuts and getting lots of technical advice on how to backup AutoText, when what I wanted was to back up AutoCorrect -- I found this great little utility that creates a text document out of your AutoCorrect entries, then you run it again on the Text document to re-create your AutoCorrect if lost. Click on the link under "Method 1" on this page to download it. It's a lifesaver!

Not a great site. I have found many errors on
xx
I have found great reviews on Kapersky. Do you know if...
they offer a free trial? I just downloaded Webroot Internet Security and it's "supposed" to be pretty good. I've got it free for 14 days. Thanks!
"mean lady, ice lady, flaming monsters"
watch others feel hurt? from my computer? locked away? huh? you have clearly let your imagination run away with any powers of logic you may have had. sad.
I found great headphones, GRADO LABS
Grado Labs SR60. I put a more detailed note down below, where I had asked for help with headphones. I love them. Great sound, comfortable, you forget they are on. I can just type and forget about the sound, such a relief. Like the olden days.
My cat acts like a boxer, sm
She is an indoor cat so if she sees me out on the deck or is stuck behind a closed door, she will sit up on her back legs and pound on the door like a boxer going at a punching bag (the one that dangles from the ceiling that you have to punch really fast). It is so funny.
No flame here - think it's great you found something that will work for you plus get clothes clea
at the same time. Thanks for sharing this tip with us!
Found great headphones- GRADO LABS SR60
Thanks to all you who replied. At my local MAC store I found they had a display you could listen to the earphones. I bought GRADO LABS SR60, as the sound was good and they sit entirely outside your ear with BIG round ear pads.
When I got them home, the sound was GREAT for transcribing. Thank the Lord. Really. It was just like the old days, when I COULD TYPE AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THE SOUND. I did change settings on my sound card--it has an equalizer-- to New Wave or something, it seemed the best, and put the Wave file way down, and adjusted the volume on the speakers, and I was very happy.
I read on someone's review, some audio guy on the net, that Grado SR60's have not as much bass as the higher number models. But for transcription that is good.
Well, from my lips to God's ears, just in time, I am so happy. Really, I have bought a lot of headphones trying, but they have all been cheap. These are not that expensive, but they were great. The Bose were very good sound, but for transcribing, I did not think I'd like them. Plus they were heavier on the ears, more of a conventional fit around the ears and put pressure on the head. Another great thing about the Grado, they have a metal top piece that goes over the head -covered with leather or fake leather--the audio website said, you can rest that on the top of your head and take away some of the pressure on your ears. That helps relax and pretty soon you don't notice them, like with other headphones fighting all the time to keep them in position.
Thanks to all. Hope this helps someone. The sound is great.
Naaaaaaasty lady. Bad lady. Pooh.

Hey Jude here too. My Boxer's full papered name is
Sir Jude Prince of Spades. I did that so i could go "Hey Jude" when i called him. BUT everyone calles him Spades or Mr. S.
Boxer, 10 yrs old, and Basset Hound, 7 months old. nm

I have 2 dogs, Boxer and Basset Hound, sm
the older dog (Boxer) is good. The young dog (9 months) wants my attention constantly, even though we take 2 long walks daily.
My 11-year-old Boxer gets up and paces all night, runs into walls, SM
I have not slept throughout the night since this started. He is not afraid of the dark, but something is wrong. Guess it is old age.
How about your husband tells the friend to tell his female friend to lose the #?

A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?
I think I found it, found multiple recipes with the same
exact ingredients so I figure this must be it.
maybe she wants to be the woman.
Seems to me, this is about those woman who only think they look like that...
and unfortunately do not.
Even young girls do this - I have seen young girls more and more, bellies out, cracks out (pardon me, do not know what else to call it- smile), and maybe 2 out of 10 have the bodies for it. The rest are overweight and have bulges and cellulite, etc.
I think almost everyone would agree, if a woman can wear something (or nearly nothing) and look good, more power to them. If they do not have a body like a model, or even close, best to hide the cleavage in public, in my opinion...
Done 2! Come on MTs....help this woman win!
Staples inventors contest. Vote for Julie Savage.
Can't we get this woman out of here?
I would sooner see your Avon and candles! This woman has been over on MT Chat, now here, who knows where else. I don't even believe she is an MT. How could she be when she is so busy with her "company"? Can't we get these types of "free advertisers" off here? Makes me mad!  If fshe is free to advertise, then I think the rest of us should be able to, as well!
Yep, that's right, it was to a woman.nm

One woman actually said she (sm)
spent so much time at the pediatrician's office, she KNEW she could do it. NO KIDDING. She really said that.
oil of old lady!
That's what my husband calls Oil of Olay, but what does he know. I'll be 50 this year (and proud of it) and everyone says I look great for my age.
She is more woman than you could ever-sm
hope to be in your wildest dreams. What did she ever do to you anyway? come on, take my one on one challenge...make my day. lol
QA Lady
So obviously you were never a newbie? You came out of MT school the "perfect" MT. I have nearly 3 years experience and there are still things I look up. One thing about MT work is that is it forever changing. Not to mention the QA that faults me for things that are considered correct according to the Book Of Style. Just because an MT is new does not imply that she cannot do the job.
Hey QA lady. You were all over the
GAB board yesterday and now you are on the MAIN board telling us once again how wonderful you are and how superior you are to the rest of us. GET OVER YOURSELF. You keep telling us how awful MTs are, so QUIT and you won't have to deal with it anymore. I would hate to have you as my QA person. I think we all have heard enough about how PERFECT YOU ARE and how worthless MTs are.
Probably every woman on here has done the same or more
than this person is saying she had to do in order to take care of grandchildren. Most women here work and take care of children every day. She asked did I have grandchildren like you just could not work and take care of them. I did - others have here also- no bashing- just truthful, sounds like a cop out to me and probably others here.
You saying that, I only wish the lady
had been here at that particular time. I was transcribing a physician who changes almost every other word, sentence, saying oh don’t put that in, change to thus and so and then says a sentence and then says delete that. I could pull my hair out when I even see his name coming in. I remember the first time I ever listened to a physician and like the person you mentioned above, knew he was speaking English and I barely knew the first word he was saying. I guess most think we sit at home just "typing" a bit and then eating chocolate chip cookies the rest of the time.
Seems that woman
had some issues. Okay ... I can see being a little irritated, but really! Your director had the right attitude, and now you have your funny little story you can share. : )
just an observation, but I don't believe that lady had PPD
I believe she was psychotic. It's hard to second guess a diagnosis, but as I remember she had been ill for some time; her problem was not really post-partum depression. Does anyone else remember the details of this?
No woman asks for it EVER
A woman can be walking down the street naked, she is not asking for rape. No woman ever wants to be raped. Old ladies, young ladies, middle aged ladies get attacked and raped and sexually harrassed and murdered. Women do not ask for this. Until we put the blame where it belongs, on the perpetrator, not the victim, nothing will change. You need some consciousness raising, me thinks.
I just imagine myself as a bag lady nm.

A woman I worked with ... (sm please)
erased a tape of a day's worth of radiology reports. She pulled all the jackets (before PACS system) and took them to the rad. She apologized sincerely with a stiff upper lip. He did not say a word, read all the films again and life went on. She is now the lead MT and has been there for 15 yrs.
Wow! Your one busy lady! My hat goes off to you!nm

You really need to get a woman in your life!

And what do you consider an older woman?
I can assure you that I'm not an older woman. Thirty is not old. I still get carded buying alcohol. I've never bleached my naturally blonde hair either. The clothes aren't skimpy. I have full coverage with nothing hanging out. I certainly don't shop in the plus or women sized departments either. It's just a change from slob mode, which is the point I was trying to make. Women will feel and look younger by taking a few moments to care about their appearance. Try some trendier clothes, a new hairstyle, a touch of makeup. Besides, if I was a fat, ugly, old lady as you're implying, troll, hubby would tell me. He's the one who didn't like my "comfortable" work clothes to begin with.
omg i know a woman who talks just like you
and is just as much an a** and even her sunday school class doesn't want anything to do with her!!! hehehehehe talking about an ugly, stinky attitude!!! hehehe
