In Reply to: Has anyone had/have Bell's Palsy? - Michelle
Your other new symptoms sound like maybe (guessing here, I'm not a doctor) - trigeminal neuralgia (?). I'm not sure - but maybe read up on it and possibly reconsult with your neurologist. I hope you feel better real soon though!!!

Poseidon adventure - the old lady going to Israel - ring any bells? (sm)
You must be a real youngster.
"mean lady, ice lady, flaming monsters"

Naaaaaaasty lady. Bad lady. Pooh.
(pouting)

Bells palsy and chronic headaches? Does anyone have any good info or help out there? sm
Unfortunately, I have had Bells palsy for the past 8 years. I got it while pregnant and had a pretty severe case. I was extremely sick with that pregnancy and then ended up with the Bells palsy. In fact, my baby quit growing after I got the Bells palsy! Thank God I was about 32 weeks when I got it. Anyway, over time the symptoms have not been as bad. For the most part to look at me you couldnt tell I had the Bells--until I smiled at you. Then, of course, you would know it. I have regained some use of muscles, but not all. I have been able to get my eye to close, but it is not tight, so I still battle with dry eye every night/morning. My forehead has been completely "dead" since this happened. Even electric stim could not move the muscle! Whenever I get a headache it always seems to settle on the dead part of my forehead. My headaches have been increasing lately, and currently I have had a headache for five days! I have tried Advil, Tylenol and Excedrin Migraine with no relief. My neurologist cant see me until January since I havent been to him for years. I can not afford an MRI right now and have no desire to start taking any type of pain med. Does anyone have any experience with Bells or have any ideas. I was wondering if a TENS unit might help. I have been reading about that on the internet. Sorry this is so long. Thank you for any help. As you can imagine, I am having a very hard time working all day at my computer with this! 
my 17-year-old son woke me up
We sat glued to the TV. Eventually he went back to bed and pulled the covers over his head. I sat and fumed at the perpetrators until I stomped in my son's room and yanked off the covers and yelled at him to go down and sign up to go over there and blow their heads off. Then we just sat and cried. We didn't even know who "they" were. He was only 17. It was just so frustrating.
I woke up this morning with
my right ankle swollen. I didn't do anything to hurt it, and it doesn't really hurt either. It sometimes has this tight sensation when I stand on it. I have no other symptoms, no fever, no warmth, no pain. I am in between doctors right now. What are your thoughts??
Wow, I woke up from a nightmare....sm
....in which I had been trying for months to find an MT job, and couldn't because I've been retired for several years. Was I glad to wake up! The good part is that with my back problems, I don't have to work sitting at a keyboard or standing on my feet (even worse for me) all day long. Praise the Lord!
Sorry, just woke up, lol. It is Bose, no Boise. lol

Grammy Awards!!Feel like I just woke up from a coma..
Guess I'm really getting old now. I know my parents hated the music we listened to in the 60's but PLEASE somebody tell me it's not JUST ME!!! How do they come up with this crap???? Oh, that girl..she's country and I can actually understand what she's saying. "love your baby girl" whoever she is.
I woke up to -18 degrees this morning - it hurt to breathe outside! nm

Do you all type when you are sick? I woke up this morning with a sore throat and a stiff achy
neck and my body was kind of stiff all over, but I ignored it, got the kids off to school, and went about my usual routine of having my morning coffee and reading the paper. I don't start work until noon every day. As the morning wore on, my body got achier and achier and I started having chills and basically had to huddle under three blankets so I would quit shivering. I took my temperature and it was 102.3 and I'm wonder if I have strep throat or something. I tend to pick that up about once a year and amy pretty familiar with the symptoms.
I couldn't bare the thought of calling sick especially because I work at home and I always think it's kind of lame to call in sick when you don't physically have to go much farther then down the stairs. I always feel extremely guilty whenever I have called in for illness in the past. Do you guys feel that way? Like we're somehow not entitled to take sick days because we already working from home. I mean, I have them accrued and I am truly sick, why should I feel bad about taking one when I actually need it?
Anyway, I took a handful of Motrin and the aching has eased up and I'm sweating like a pig so the fever broke for now, and now I just feel really tired and would love to lay down and take a nap, but just feel like I shouldn't and dread the idea of calling my boss.
Oh well, guess I'll suffer through like I always do. Every once in a while working at home doesn't feel quite fair. 
Absolutely - woke up this morning to a dozen of long stem red roses, box of candy and cards from my
Beautiful day! Everything was sitting out on my dining room table for me when I woke up. Hubby had already left for work and teens getting ready for school. Plus, my coffee was already made and bagel in the toaster for me.
I am blessed!
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.
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.
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.
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?
I just imagine myself as a bag lady nm.

Wow! Your one busy lady! My hat goes off to you!nm

27-year-old lady:)

No shopping but me, but did you see the lady with the wig?
NM :)
I wonder if you have the same boss lady as me...
She is terrible. She constantly acuses me of things I am not doing and then when I call her on it, I never hear any more about it. Never an apology. I have tried to speak with her on the phone but she won't and it's always by e-mail which is so frustrating. I have been slammed so many times I can't even count any more. I just never know from day to day whether I'll have a job or not because I never know what I will be accused of next. Oh the things we put up with to make a living in this business
Ask the Fruitcake Lady. sm
Just for grins and giggles. Still LMAO.

What a nice lady you appear to be..sm
In this world of nastiness, it is refreshing to see your giving post, your willingness to help a Mom out by taking care of her child because she is not able to currently. More impressive is that you are the *mommy* but are very open-minded and have full intentions of returning said child when the Mom returns back to being Mom.
KUDOS to you!!! You will be blessed and are probably blessed today!!! What a great holiday post even though it's not holiday related!! Warmed the cockles of my heart!!

Which First Lady do U admire most?
Eleanor Roosevelt for me.
Lady Baltimore!!!!

KYMT thanks for that tip. To the lady asking SM
about the macro, when recording your macro, you use the Control F9 to make a field, but when recording the macro you have to use your right arrow button to get out of the gray highlighted field and then continue with on creating your macro. When you are executing your macro, you would use the F11 button to move from field to field. This is essentially what KYMT posted, but her tip is so much easier!
Just wondering if there is a way to somehow "program" the autotext entry so that it takes you to the first field in the report after using the enter or F3 button?
Are you the same QAdragon lady I had
because before quitting the last job my dear QA had the nerve to get her fingers moving too fast on her instant messaging and sent me a message meaning it to go to another QA person and darn if she wasn’t talking about me! That was the last straw and I quit that very second. You 2 might be the same one?
GOOD! QA LADY, YOU ARE SO RIGHT NM

lol Lady, I am not jealous! She, however, has
I still think her BA is in BS! LOL
The problem with the lady you cited
was that she was NOT taking her meds. She had been doing well but her husband wanted to breed again, so she went off the meds and stayed off after the birth because, if I recall, she was nursing, and no one seemed to care whether she spiraled into ever-worsening depression or not, least of all her oblivious husband.
Dear Dork Lady - sm
Accidents are life's learning experiences... as awful as some outcomes are, that is just the way it is. It is the reality of what our "Higher Power" allows to happen in our life. When this type of tragedy happens, it is SO most likely just an accident... NOT ANYONE's FAULT. If you shielded your children to the point that you didn't allow mistakes or accidents (even accidents that never injured), you are taking away learning experience, character building, and their ability to be sure of themselves in their own decision-making process when they are grown. I agree with the other poster's replies - you need a shrink and much therapy and some good medication to control your schizophrenia would be very beneficial I'm sure... Seek Help, if not for others, do it for yourself because you are WARPED!!!
you can do what I did to one lady - and flew to the state - sm
to collect the money. Boy, was she ever surprised when I literally ran into her at a restaurant. I had been trying to get to her office, but I went out to dinner the night I arrived and low and behold, there she was in the restaurant. Needless to say, her jaw dropped when I told her who I was and that I would be staying in town to file a small courts claim, along with filing a police report. I got my money! She has since closed up shop.
I know that not everyone can do this, nor would they, but I needed to make my point with this woman!
Oh, Ice Lady! Now I have to answer to you? Fine!
There are so many flames on this board, and, yes, many women get hurt enough to cry. I have corresponded personally with many MTs after they have gotten flame broiled for no reason at all - in particular, newbies with some innocent question about the industry, or people looking to get into the MT world, who post an innocent post asking about "how" to get into the industry, and they are flame broiled to a crisp. I give them my personal email and have made some great new friends that way. Yes, they have cried. This board in particular is a DISGRACE regarding flaming newbies and MT wannabes. If you aren't aware of it, then either: a. you rarely hang here (which I'm sure with your attitude will be your response, or
b. you're one of the flaming monsters who love to flame innocent posters.
Yes, people cry - not all - but I'm glad at least some still have the emoticon, oh excuse me - emotion left to do it.
And all you "closet" passive/aggressive people who feel its fine to bash on the internet - you're wrong. And all the folks with an ounce of integrity know it. So, flame away!
You are not going to win. You got the Argument Lady. She gets off on this stuff and you
a
to the mean lady, have you ever read something on line
From one of your "friends", or even smiled at something someone said on line? Thats an evoked response, so yes of course people can get hurt by comments on here. It's happened to me too, forgive me for be human and having normal human emotions. Maybe if I lock myself away and hate the rest of the world i'll turn to stone like you to where I feel nothing at all and actually enjoy watching others feel hurt. 
I absolutely have a cleaning lady - sm
about $65 bucks every two weeks, she does all the hardwood floors throughout my house, bathrooms from top to bottom (with bleach), dusts and vacuums. All the "big" stuff that I never do since I'd rather work and make money than clean my house.
I dont believe a word you are saying lady.
:
You're a smart lady.
I need to wise up!
Lady you are full of it. Amherst, tell me another one.

"Ethical" pay for my cleaning lady...sm
I write her a check each and every month to her business name. She does her OWN accounting and pays her own taxes and things on earnings and such. As she is not my personal employee, my accountant has advised me that it is the same thing as paying our lawn service yearly, which means I do NOT need fill out a 1099 for her as I don't do it for TruGreen/ChemLawn or any other service provider for our home when we need it. I do not pay her cash and I hope this ends this discussion. She used to work at a local firm for $6.25 an hour before starting her own business (yes she is American). I pay her what she bills me for as well as Holiday bonuses (yes in cash as it is a gift not a fee) and I also pay her 4 times per year and give her the day off - we go to lunch instead and I foot the bill. It saddens me to see this discussion go so far downhill regarding pay, tax evasion, etc. I am thankful she does what she does for our family and she is thankful there are people like me who employ her to do what she loves to do. Have a great weekend ladies (and gents)! I'm glad I got a chance to look through here and set the record straight.
how did the MIL get to "know" this lady in the first place? sm
I would be furious and do like the other poster suggested; no more to do with her period. what is worse is if she is talking to her daily, wonder what she is saying about you and your family and telling this lady.
My Wal-Mart does this too. I just look at the lady and smile.
Once I was stopped and she rummaged through bags saying that I had set off a trigger of some kind. It caught my by surprise. Yes, it is offensive.
That was supposed to be 4 ft 11 inches lady (nm)
nm
Hey this lady didn't ask you to insult sm
her. She asked if anybody had anything that would help her. Obviously she does not agree with what her niece has done, but the crack you made was totally uncalled for. Why can't you have a little compassion for this lady. She just wants some friendly advice, not nastiness. Have a heart will ya?
