Sounds like MIL is a creep. I'd just steer clear from her

The first thing I would get clear on
dictators = more than one dictator.
dictator's = belonging to the dictator; e.g., the dictator's accent.
dictators' = belonging to the dictators; e.g., the dictators' inability to spell.
Do you even know how this kind of thing works?
The governor of a state is responsible for assessing potential disasters, the amount of assistance that is immediately available and if it is not enough in his/her opinion he/she is to contact the federal government and request assistance. Kathleen Blanco did not do this, underestimated the storm and the amount of resources she had available to her in her area and dropped the ball.
She's no Rudy Guiliani, plain and simple.
Take a middle school Civics class and try to keep up.
The feds were warning those people to get out of there a week ago and they did not. If blame must be placed, Blanco dropped the ball and was unqualified for her job as governor, and the residents there are idiots for staying in the path of a Category 5 hurricane when they were warned to evacuate days before it hit.
I'm so sick of the "nobody likes me because I'm poor" attitude of helplessness that got those people poor and kept them that way in the first place.
I don't normally type this kind of thing: sm
Calculated aortic valve area 0.6 square centimeters.
How do i format this correctly?
I try to be aware of this kind of thing...
and make sure to attend all family functions of this sort, just so no one can say the same thing about me! But, I agree with you, I wouldn't go to the shower either. Just curious, is your mom going? How about your sister? (Yes, I'm nosy!)
LOL It's not your call for that kind of thing.

Amway?
Amway is one network marketing company and years ago I was in that as well, as many people were. Never made anything with that company as had to have so much product on hand and got paid very little for "selling" these products. This company is network marketing, but not in the same way as they do not own any product, do not manufacture any product, and work with all Fortune 500 companies so is very reputable, is totally debt free and will remain that way because of how it is set up, yet pays us 90% back in profits. The program is set up so that a person can get their investment back fairly quickly - but again depends on the individual and the efforts they put into it. If interested in knowing more, email me and I can tell you more.
Just received mine Saturday. More or less the same thing we were emailed last week. Kind of repeated
that. Just curious about benefits for SE. Never heard of that. The letter might have been a little more explicit about things but still nothing on what the pay plan is.
help please, re Amway related business
my daughter and s-i-l, who cannot afford it, are about to get snookered into Quixtar, a company related to Amway. Can anyone give me info about their experiences with this? thanks.
Isn't network marketing another name for Amway?

Amway, Quixstar & Network Marketing
First let me tell you that there is nothing wrong with Network Marketing and that it's a wonderful business to be in. The best advice I can give is first of all, research several companies and see what their compensation plans are. I would NOT sign up based on someone feeding me a bunch of hype. Also, look for a product that you can believe in. Next, check out the company. Just as it is done here, everyone is checking out all the companies before they get in. Make sure that the company is founded and operated on sound ethics and business practices. As for spending a lot of money on books, tapes and seminars.....ALL of us should be doing that on a DAILY basis. It's called personal development and that is the best thing in the world you can do for yourself. So to sum it up and because of limited space to write here....tell them to GO FOR IT!!! If you have any questions go ahead and email me and I can go into much more detail to help. Take care and have a blessed day!
Follow you "gut" feelings - they usually never steer you wrong!. nm

can we clear this up once and for all?
 What does pulling number XX mean ? I noticed now it also says "click on the reply by email link" whereas before it said "click on the blue link" which had me confused also. There were quite a few blue words but no blue link except back to Main Board.
Just to be clear
I have been using NCMT as my screen name on this site for quite some time. I don't know who the other NCMT is that made the post above, but it wasn't me. I personally do not care for Kikki and her negative outlook on everything.
Since it is very clear--sm
That the beloved Ms. Kikki is back and really trying to cause havoc again on this board with her rude comments to everyone, I can only suggest that we do not take her bait and give her fuel for fire. She seems to have it is for a select few on this board and also seems to love to attack what people eat. Maybe if we do not acknowledge her rude comments, she will get tired of it and go away again. Either that, or we all stop posting anything for a day or two and she will have nothing to make rude nasty comments on. Just a thought. If we stick together, maybe we can get her to leave. 
yes there are some that don't even try to be clear
and you can get really fed up sometimes. On the other hand, there are plenty of native speaker doctors who make me mad too! Some of the ESLs are really good. Better a good ESL doc than an American mumbler
Also, was it not clear that...
the site was resold again to someone else? This is old news...
Well that;s clear as mud. nm
Clear something up for me, please...sm
Do you mean editing as in QA, or editing voice/speech recognition work? I thought QA positions were paid hourly. Someone correct me if this is wrong. If you mean editing voice recognition work, then that pay is too low. Actually, it is too low for QA, too, IMO.
You are not clear at all. Look around for what?
She is looking for a macro and you're telling her "it's" a setting somewhere in options or customize. ????? Before you get your dander up again, you might try explaining exactly what she should be looking for.
What are you talking about? Be a bit more clear.
IC? New pay? QA? WTF?
LOUD AND CLEAR
and let us not forget the nonresponsive e-mails when one does inquire as to where their lines are going. Take the old server down here and there and lose 300 LINES A DAY. YES, WE LOVE IT! NOT
Do you want everybody to clear the board for you? sm
Jump in and bring up a topic. :)
I should've been more clear.
I'm saying I'm okay because I have several plans I'm working on and several people are helping me. All it took was calling my parents. My Dad gave me so much confidence and made me remember who I am or used to be. I am going in for some counseling and more planning will take place then. He sold his truck a few weeks ago, so we are down to my truck. He stated that he won't leave without a vehicle. I going to be pushing very hard for him to find one and that will give him more incentive to leave. He has come to realize that we are not a good match. I have neglected to mention that when he is calm, he is actually okay. He was stirred up lately because I contacted my daughter's family for the first time since she was born. I knew this would upset him, but I didn't care. She needed that. I realize that you are all just trying to look out for me and that is why I posted originally. It seems some of you are turning on me and that's okay too. I think I was in panic-mode when I posted the first time and the finer points of what I was saying were missed. The emotional abuse has been worse on me and my kids than the physical. They were not even here yet last time it happened. The incident two weeks ago was because I was forcing a trip to see my daughter's family. He doesn't handle the step-father part very well. I will stop posting if it will make everyone more comfortable, but I did want to acknowledge those of you that helped me clear my head. I will be going to church this weekend. He will be speaking to the minister. He will be on his own if things don't improve with counseling. I may not have all of your support, but the support of my grandparents and my parents is much more important to me. Thanks again. Sorry if I offended anyone's sensibilities. I obviously have. Bye. Jodie :)
Please Clear Up Questions
What brand keyboard do you actually have? I was looking at the Kinesis Maxim and it does not completely come apart but stays hooked at the top.
The problem is when it's not clear
whether it applies to you or not. Such as the statement: "You are leaving too many blanks." How many blanks are "too many?" In what circumstances?
I think it is just a lazy way of supervising - just send it to everyone instead of dealing with the individual culprits.
And, no, I don't consider that "communication."
Isn't it pretty clear?
You say you'll have set hours to work. If your baby needs a didee change or a bottle during those hours, or if he/she's just cranky and needs to be picked up and loved, what are you going to do? If you're a normal mother, you're going to stop working and take care of your child. So that pretty much answers your question, doesn't it.
 I will never understand why some people think they can work at home with an infant. After all, if you worked outside the home and took your infant with you and he needed attention, you'd have to stop your work and tend to him there, so the fact remains, unless one is superhuman, they cannot work and take care of a child at the same time. Pretty clear cut!
your post is not clear - what exactly are you trying to do?

Thanks for making that clear
I wouldn't want to offend the wrong person. So sorry. but to the other NCMT, I meant every word. :^)
I wasn't clear about that - what I mean was that - sm
more likely than not, they'll get ripped off on their minute-counts, dinged for nonexistent 'mistakes', or have some of their pay 'skimmed', as has been complained about in so very many posts throughout this website, and by too many companies to count. I suppose the truly honest employers in MT can probably be counted on half the fingers of one hand.
You're right about 'weighted' dictators, and it's actually a good thing. I think if a doctor is a difficult dictator to transcribe, he should be weighted, and in addition to paying the MT more to type him, the hospital should be charged more to transcribe him. If it cost them more to have the garbage-work transcribed, maybe somewhere down the road all those ESL doctors right off the boat from somewhere else won't look like such a good deal, after all.
All clear and no ESLs, only wish
I would be in 7th heaven if this were the case. I have my share of ESLs but the ones I have the VR picks them up much better sometimes than our English ones. I have no clue why? One English physician I think really good, the VR fails on this one??? I have some dictators (as probably all do) who talk with speaker phones, snort and go on but I am very pleased with VR and really love.
He would have mentioned it so it was clear it

nothing clear that I could understand...
of course I think I am missing something because firstly I do not know what I am perceived of doing. That is what is kind of scary...but it is a site that is controlled and monitored, and they can do what they want. That is how it should be I guess. Something struck a nerve but I have no idea what.
sorry, not clear on my point
My so-called implied point is that our bosses keep telling us that we are "training" these SR/VR machines as we make corrections and after we do this long enough, the machines will "perform" much better. It depends on the platform. The one I've worked on for the past year has not changed one teensy bit despite tons of editing gobbledegooky reports. I agree with you--dictators definitely don't care.
What if you don't have clear nail polish? Is there something else you can use?
I don't use nail polish at all and reallly don't want to buy it for just this reason. I also don't want to keep buying keyboards. I had an ergonomic one given to me that works just great, but can't get used to it.
I wore the letters off my keyboard in less than a year, even the raised "notch" on the J and F keys so you can place your fingers correctly. I don't really need them, but sometimes, I get out of position then havea a hard time finding the right keys, especially if I'm in a hurry. I only have QWYPZ /? left on mine. Thanks.

As long as you have a clear view of the
southern sky you are okay, doesn't matter where you are. I had DirecWay and your download speed isn't reliable. Sometimes it can be really fast, other times as slow as dial-up. Snow and heavy rain also interfer with the signal.
I steered my clear of that. they saw what a workaholic I was and said no thanks. nm

Thinking I wasn't clear...sm
I totally agree with you...see my first post. I too have been in the business for a long, long time and think its ridiculous to worry about that stuff. I was questioning why we see this so much. Who is it that is pushing this stuff....and are those MT's really being forced to adhere to all that c___!??
I have asked but didn't get a clear
answer. This is a company I'm considering testing for. This is why I asked here.
if the dictation is clear and flowing....nm
I hear you loud and clear - sm....
I'm handing out walking papers today to a very large practice for those exact reasons, coupled with the fact the docs dictate past the speed of sound  and their OM and medical records girl are - well, let's just say a celery stalk has more intelligence than both of them combined. They all disgust me  and I don't want their account, not for ANY amount of money! 
First message not clear re: shorthand
It takes a long time for the word to expand. There. That sounds better.
seems to me your cousin has already made it clear...
that she's not interested in family parties...so I would "believe" her prior pattern of behavior and ignore her shower.
Sounds like you're in the clear!
