Don't worry about it. In 5-6 years you'll have plenty to worry about!
A 10-year-old is never in a situation where anything can "happen," and they don't understand anything "happening" anyway. At this age they're only capable of "having a boyfriend" because that's what they see on TV - that's what the world "expects of us", to pair up and "like each other."
Her friends aren't talking about adult "things" to do in a "relationship" yet, and she doesn't even have those feelings, hormones, or needs yet so don't worry about it.
At 10, having a "boyfriend" is the equivalent to playing "dress up" or "make believe" and is just "sitting together in the cafeteria" at best.
Plus they move on to a new "boyfriend" in a week, a few weeks tops.
Relax, Mom. The part to worry about is yet to come and I wouldn't want to deal with that again for anything!
Best of luck and enjoy these years while you can.
I have been doing this forever as well, but
never thought to work toward a half daily goal. I work in 2 hour increments in that same manner, but find that in the morning that first 2 hour break comes too soon. I don't know why I didn't think to try a 1/2 day goal, other than after doing this forever I may be "stuck in a rut." By the way, great post!
YES!! always and forever LOL nm

the same jobs in the USA forever!! nm

No way! It took me forever to figure out how to get - sm
my DOS Smartype to work (MTSO still uses WP 5.1), couldn't imagine the nightmare of figuring that all out all over again. Every Windows has had tons of bugs, I'd rather wait 2 years until they are all worked out, plus it will cost a lot less then probably. I plan to avoid it all together if I can.
Yes you can, took me forever to figure it out - sm
but I have my WP5.1 and Smartype on mine. Had to change a few things in a couple files and change a BIOS USB setting, but works great. PRD will work to, go to the Columbia website and they have it all mapped out there how to do it. You just have to do about 3-4 things and it will work.
Nothing is forever....see message
But it's better to go from good to bad than from bad to worse!
It SHOULD TAKE FOREVER if the person is doing nothing but AMERICAN
dictators and YOU ARE DOING THE OTHER WORK THAT IS LEFT OVER. FOREVER IS A LONG TIME.
CONSIDER THIS: Your source and your manager don't like you and are going to let you stew by feeding you information about this Indian person doing all the easy work and letting you pick up the crummy work done by Indian dictators. And as long as you keep doing this, they have no motivation to change and the Indian MT walks away with your money.
Have a nice day indeed. Sounds like you have had a rotten couple of months and you are wasting your have a nice day on me. I'm doing great dictation, picked up a huge bonus this pay period. Don't waste wishing nice days on me. I make my own thank you.
got it, DUH. havent typed a Pap in forever.

It should work, I have Smartype for DOS, took me forever to - sm
figure it out (tried on and off for a year) but finally got it to work. The Columbia University site has wonderful info. on how to get the DOS programs to work with XP. In the end all I had to do was change a USB setting and my Smartype works fine with my WP5.1; and my systems settings/BIOS have not been compromised because of it. I have PRD too (not on disk though) but have not tried getting it to work but I am sure it is something similar in getting it to work.

I have not picked up a book in forever
I go to the Internet for everything I need to know. Keep in mind that you need to find reference sites that are legit, then the Internet is the way to go. In fact, my books are packed in a box and I have no clue where that box is. The exception to that is my Book of Style, and it is a rare use item, as well.
Fat can be lost but ugly is forever. It must suck

I'm totally avoiding the mall...FOREVER

QUITTING MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION FOREVER
Hello everyone,
I have finally quit medical transription once and for all. It has been a roller coaster for the last eight years. I finally found something that is so much better. I will be making my own hours and deciding exactly how much money I want to make. I got so tired of begging for enough work. I was tired of seeing everything going to India. I also got tired of making less and less money. This is the only industry where you have to have more and more experience and knowledge, but you do not get paid more for it. I am just happy that I found an out for myself. Now, with EMRs there will be very little transcription work left. I hope the best for all of you!
Take care
Magic Jack is not unlimited forever
The fine print on my Magic Jack indicates that if I use it for more than 20 percent more than the average person (whatever that means), they may discontinue my service. I am not familiar with the MT jobs that require unlimited phone service or the C-phone, but I imagine that those minutes would add up rather fast.
As far as using the Magic Jack for long-distance calls to family and friends, it seems to work great. It just doesn't seem like a good choice for MT work, IMHO.
Aw, thanks. I've been in the biz forEVER and in order to learn, you HAVE to be priased...
I know some QA who never do anythnig constructively but for one to learn, you cannot beat them into submission like the Marines do. I had an MT one time who was on 100% review for 6 months. The other QA would complain but I would say to her, 'Fran, you are doing a great job, but you need to remember that it is venous stasis not venoustasis' (not her real name and not a word she necessarily missed) She learned it because I didnt say it nasty. I've had more than my share of bad QA and thats why I know you have to be praised at some point. It is just easier for me to try to help. Kind of like first grade, ya know - if you have a good first grade teacher, you have a desire to learn. If you have a QA that cares, then it is easier for everyone.
Happy New Year and hopefully good QAs all aound!
Ditto, doing 23 minutes of a Dr. I hate right now.....taking forever....well back to it - nm

sad for you girls
sounds like you ladies are finding your boys in all the wrong places. MEN don't cheat. BOYS cheat. You need to find a MAN and then you will find yourself in a REAL relationship like never before and you will be HAPPY and have TRUST. It CAN happen as it happened to me. Good luck.
My girls like me
Well, my girls like working for peaNUTS. Oh golly, my sense of humor has gotten the best of me, bad boy Frank.
mean girls
hope you never find yourself in a bad situation - you have no sympathy or regard for other humans
The girls are going down . . .
Kelly was soo bad. I think and hope it will be the three boys remaining. Katherine's dress was a little much wasn't it? She had visible panty lines. Chris was very sexy.
Mean Girls!
Well, here I go! Gotta vent. We use IM to talk to the QA person and the boss for the small MTSO I work for. Many times the boss will turn "Busy" on, so you can't ask her anything. If she wants to talk to you, she will, but if she does not, she won't. Same goes for the QA. Sometimes I feel so small! I do not bug them unless I really need something, but apparently they feel I am bugging them too much. Days go by that I never IM either one, so its not like every day I bug them! I feel very insignificant when they do this! Am I overly sensitive?
yep...little girls are the best!! Glad I have 3 of them! Have fun! nm
re: View girls
I cannot stand the View girls. Who do they think they are! They act so high and mighty, especially Star Jones and Meredith whatshername! Please! 
I think the girls forgot to ask you
if you were married and if you'd post a picture for them? Just kidding.... It's just kind of funny to see how many responses you got from your post while new MT females get maybe one or two. I know of a couple of dude MTs. We had one in-house. Poor guy. 
RadGuy not into girls
So what? Is there a problem with that?
Hey Crafty Girls
My niece wants to get into a hobby or do some crafts in her side time, but does not know where to begin. She is a modernistic woman, age 30, not into the country motif, but wants to be crafty. Any suggestions out there of where she might start or a craft kit I could get her for Christmas? Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Several girls I work with do...
One has one on her ankle. Another has one in the small of her back. Another has one on her arm (like men usually do)...Personally, I think the one in the small of the girl's back is the cutest. Its just above where her low-riding jeans fit. I dated a guy who had one on his tush... a rose. He said he went through a bad divorce and then had it done thinking to himself some day he'd be somebody's rose...Now that I think back, shouldn't that have been the other way around?? LOL...Anyway, good luck, they say that hurt a bit, but they don't regret getting them. I, myself, am not into pain! LOL
26, 4&2 y/o girls, due with another girl 3/16
I was a nurse first with a neuroticism about spelling and documentation, so this was a good career move for me. It's not because I was chasing the work-at-home dream.
My boys were 3 1/2 and my girls were 2.
Cheerios in the toilet worked for me. SINK THOSE BATTLESHIPS!! :)
But both boys were 3 1/2 at least and when I was just about ready to give up, they just started using the bathroom as if nobody had ever told them a thing.
Pressuring and scolding are the 2 worst things you can do. Just be laid back and all of a sudden one day, they are diaper free. None of my 4 have ever had an accident or wet the bed since the day it kind of dawned on them. Sort of like the day they learn to ride a bike without training wheels. :)
This too shall pass like water under the bridge. No pun intended. Now I'm buying diapers for my grandkids.
we are not all girls...but Bose is the best

Maybe she is only talking to the girls. (nt)
The Golden Girls...
I love the Golden Girls...though it does come on Lifetime I think like 5-6 times a day...I love that show! 
girls just wanna have fun; nm

Girls and women
That, in my humble opinion, is what separates the girls from the women. With all of the references we have at our fingertips (Google is WONDERFUL), if you know how to search, you can find what you need. As a success story in MT for over 35 years, I can honestly say that from day one (and yes, I had to learn over the years), I did my very best never to ask for help UNTIL I had exhausted every means available to me and had come up empty-handed. I realize that is much easier to do this when you do not work by the line and every minute is money in your pocket...or not if you are spending a lot of time looking things up.
Stop it. I can't leave you girls alone for a second. sm
I sure am glad I don't have to work with you all who post these PMS/menopausal rantings.
yep, I go to Old Navy and look at their clothes for my girls
Or Wal-Mart and look at all the stuff I want! that does it for me!
What's for dinner tonight girls?
s
Guess what, all three kids are GIRLS! and ....
the two youngest ones are in early puberty, so we have hormones dripping from the walls around here. My husband threatens to move into a tent in the backyard once we're all "cycling" LOL
Want to know what's for dinner tonight girls
I am making that 20-garlic recipe from below with mashed taters and salad and some homemade bread. Yum.
30, now at 9 years and 2 great little girls-nm

Done..also got girls in my office to sign
nm
mine were both girls - and I even had to have a psychiatrist for - sm
one of them. Of course, you know how psychiatrists can be - always blaming the parents for the social dysfunctions of the beagle!
The teenaged girls in my neighborhood are
having a race to see who can have the most babies. It's horrible. They think of the babies as little pets or dolls, then dump them on their mothers to go out and party. None of the girls has a high school education, job, driver's license or anything. They have police records, too. Four of the girls were over here one day wanting to use my phone, and one of them wanted me to feel her stomach to see if I thought she was pregnant. She was disappointed later when she found out she wasn't. I got onto soapbox mode telling them to finish their education or at least get a GED so they could support those babies. Life's not easy being a young, uneducated mother. They use the excuse that they have bad home lives, they just want someone to love them, they'll get a regular income with WIC, foodstamps, and welfare checks, or maybe even get their own house when low income apartments become available. My goodness, their thinking is so messed up. They don't even have a single clue in their little heads. This isn't even the inner city.
I keep telling my boys to stay away from girls. Save it for marriage or you're going to get trapped into fatherhood.
Eleven-year-old girls...
Boy, I guess they're all different. My almost 18-year-old was a piece of cake, still very much a little girl at 11. But this next one is totally different. Sweet loving girl, good student, very attached to her family, but so bent on growing up faster (maybe it's having the older sister effect). A few months ago her younger sister ratted on her that she was at a school function and was putting on eye make up. So we had a talk with her about how she had symptoms of a disease, a disease called untrustworthiness, and that if she was going to sneak around and do things she knows we don't allow, then she wouldn't be allowed the privilege of doing certain things. Today (speaking of lunch boxes), I was emptying out yesterday's lunch box and found a tube of lipstick out of my bathroom. She said it was for her friends (which this experienced old mom doesn't buy for 2 seconds), then admitted it was for her too. I know this is small potatoes now, but as Barney Fife used to say, you have to NIP IT IN THE BUD. So I guess I better let my DH know and figure out what to do. Today it's lipstick, tomorrow it's something much bigger.
