Up all night watching CNN and most of today.
Not that I can do anything but pray, but I have been so hoping for a miracle and willing them to walk out. With the floods in CA and the fires in TX and OK we need a miracle.
Anyone ever had a ghostly/spiritual experience? Was watching CNN last night.
I was watching Larry King last night and something came up about being "frozen" a couple minutes after awakening. That has happened to me a few times and I have read Sylvia Browne's books and she explains it as something like a noise waking us up too quickly before our spirits come back after astral travel. Just wondering if anyone has ever had a ghostly spiritual experience or any interesting stories about it and beliefs.
I felt sick watching last night. SD came in when scene of guy stabbing child and screamed and

On CNN, MSNBC, FOX
I have 1 ear glued to TV and 1 to my earphones. Now they say it was a miscommunication from the mine to the command center, then randomly picked up through cell phone transmissions. The actual company never said there were survivors but in this day of 24/7 news, and the natural need of people to have to believe it, it obviously spread like wildfire.
You just wonder about all the cable news these days. While we are witness to so much history as it happens, they do have to keep their hours filled, try to out do each other with exclusives and with a tragedy like this, it just sickens one to see these reporters knocking each other down to try to get THE exclusive on a family that just went through this horror.
I just saw on MSNBC where relief efforts sm
have finally reached Slidell. From the video, there are boats and jetskis and FEMA is there, too. There is flooding and the homes have been severely damaged. Hope we can hear from her soon.
MSNBC said Snowball was found
I found this on their website - sounds kinda promising (I think), but the gal on MSNBC said the dog and the boy had been reunited. I sure hope so. I'm an animal lover and that stressed me out really bad.

An Outsourced Life -- anyone see that on MSNBC?
I didn't know whether to laugh or be disgusted, so I have decided to do both.
Just saw a story on MSNBC about some jerk (an American jerk, looks like the biggest geek in the world) who has outsourced all his worries to a Pakistan company and a young, pretty Pakistani girl named "Honey" takes care of answering all his emails for work, for home, for his family, etc. Hired a second Pakistani woman, a middle-aged woman (forget her name) to handle his WIFE. When his wife is upset with him or he with her, he emails this Pakistani woman and she handles it -- emails the wife and argues FOR this jerk. Even picks out the gifts he gives his kids and wife. OMG.
What a stupidman for doing it and, I must say, a stupid woman for putting up with that.
How's that for Americans outsourcing everything and sending it overseas?!
it's true...go to MSNBC.COM and scan down. :-( nm

msnbc oursourcing vote
Here's where to vote once you're at the msnbc.com web site: It's under the Only on MSNBC.com heading, the one with a Harry Potter picture, and is about the 9th line down and called "Gut Check America".
MSNBC said today cruise ships are on the way now SM
They said it takes a little bit of time to get there, but Coast Guard works closely with the cruise lines.
I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
Interesting article on MSNBC regarding repetitive motion strain and malaise.

It's taco night! (again.....) We had taco pizza last night, southwestern chicken soup before th
Maybe I'll just have a salad.
After watching this
I'd have to say I now know why I had no idea this was going on. If more people knew about this, how their meat was being "harvested" and what they do to these animals, they wouldn't be in existance at all and thats what they are afraid of. These images should be shown to schools all over the U.S. to teach at a young impressionable age that this is what is going on and it needs to change. I myself know that I need meat in my diet, we all need it, I don't eat a lot of it because too much can be bad for you, but how am I going to eat after watching this?? It sickens and hurts me and I can't believe people can work a full day treating a living thing like this. Imagine their lives, born into complete suffering and agony, you can HEAR it. I'm just completely blown away. There is a better way to do this. Why are they being hurt alive? We have enough technology to take away their pain at the very least not to mention the living conditions. I'm completely hurt and I think more people should be.
watching less and less
Seems like half of the year is reruns and alot cable stations are reruns from regular tv. Getting sick of the same shows day after. Cut it off for awhile see how you like it.
Okay, I'm watching CNN now and (sm)
They are showing the expressway where people are trying to evacuate... total gridlock. It's like a 6 to 8-lane interstate, but they don't have the other direction open... what I'm trying to say is they can open up the other side to let more people evacuate, even though they would be going down the highway in the wrong direction. No one is even on the other side..
All these poor people in their cars, just moving like turtle and this thing is coming... I just don't get it.
you must not have been watching the same...sm
YOU must not have been watching the same show and even today - they showed clips all over the TV and HIS BICEPS AND TRICEPS are in TREMENDOUS GOOD SHAPE for anybody 62.....
Obviously your upper arms are batwings.......if you think his upper arms were in bad shape. You should only look so good in the upper arm area.......
Have you tried watching
Desperate Housewives or Greys Anatomy? I think they're both entertaining shows, although Desperate Housewives was better last year.
If you like watching
made for TV movies, try the Lifetime channel. Once in a while I can find a good movie there. Good luck
still watching ER
It is not quite as good as it once was but still head and shoulders above much of the other stuff on TV. I still watch and like the newer characters. Neila is interesting right now as is the situation with Kovac and Abby.
When you are watching something like CNN
when there is a big news story (like the miners in WV) and you're hearing this stuff supposedly live and then you hear someone like Wolff Blitzer repeat the information and say something totally different than what someone said just 3 minutes ago. Not the same subject, but it also drives me totally insane when they ask someone who has lost a loved one in a horrific manner - how do you feel. HOW DO YOU THINK THEY FEEL? And why do they feel like they need to get up in the face of someone who is burying a loved one - is nothing sacred anymore.
Yes, I have been watching
It's keeping my interest enough to keep watching and actually it better than I thought it would be.
I'm watching sm
Although I missed the last episode. I'll catch it next week before the next episode hopefully. Don't know who will win.
I'm watching.
It's nice that you can see one episode right after the other. So easy to get involved that way. I wanted to see more of Tym's work also, but I think David is going to win. Alice is the brunette, right? I'm glad the young blond got kicked off. She was dizzy if you ask me!
So very sad watching this
Sitting here watching Animal Channel and the tribute to Steve Irwin. My heart is still crying. His wife, Terri, looks so grief stricken. What a loss.
I've been watching the news but
haven't heard if anyone is claiming responsibility? On a different note, I was just telling a friend yesterday that before 9-11 I heard that the biggest thing on the news was shark attacks. Hoped it wasn't an omen.
But maybe she does not like watching MTs look stupid
ranting about something that isn't even true? I know I don't.
Well, I cried while watching them all
xx
Watching the news
My heart goes out to those who are homeless, jobless, lost everything in their lives, many including loved ones. I have come to appreciate my family, job and home so much in the last few days. I stopped to get gas today, only needed 1/2 tank and it ended up costing $25, went up 35 cents since yesterday. Somehow this is very scary, nearly everything we have comes through the trucking industry. The ramifications of this will be far reaching, everything will go up......well, everything but an MTs pay, but hey, I have a job and I don't need to get in my car to do it.
watching you like a hawk?
What really happened?
No, there's nothing on TV that's worth watching anyways.
I do listen to my CDs, though. Music makes my type faster.
They are definitely watching. See post below about my
experience with Verizon long distance any my $2500 bill in one month. I only call 2 numbers long distance and they are my hospital accounts so they knew what I was doing.
And you keeping watching, don't you?
Why anyone would watch that show is beyond me, but to each his own. All 3 of those judges are nutty in their own way. If Simon had a Brookly accent instead of a British accent, no one would find him charming. Paula has always been a little looney - remember when she was married to Emilio Estevez?
All this friction between Simon and Paula is just a publicity stunt.
Three that I never tire of watching are:
The American President (Michael Douglas and Annette Benning)
The Jazz Singer (Laurence Olivier and Neil Diamond....ohhh, I ADORE Neil Diamond)
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Nia Vardalos and John Corbett)
I believe it is, since they are watching your children & (sm)
in the event of an emergency such as an allergy, should you not disclose something it would not benefit anyone. Especially your child. I do ER transcription and have had kids come in to the ER with new onset diabetes, and the nurse knew to check since it was in the family history, so that is something to think about.
No, you said to prove that as you were watching,
That is exactly how it happens. But people can do this type of work from home as well as on-site. I am a member of another transcription board and there are several ladies there that do this. They are always posting jobs on the job board there for this type of work. Why is it so hard to believe that they can do this from home? What would be any different if they were sitting in an office transcribing?
But believe what you want, since you are always right anyway. ;)
we're watching out pay go down -
I personally went from 70K a year to 40K. And I am doing nothing different. Oh, but then, I am working 3 extra hours daily. So, yes, I/we get ticked off at this industry - perhaps the stress of its creators is settling in.
I am glad I have a job...so glad it hurts.
Still tearing up after watching it over and over
Animals have always been a big part of my life. I just love them and they never cease to amaze me. This is an unbelievable story. I just went and ordered the VHS documentary of Christian the Lion on Ebay! I have to see more of this. Thanks SO MUCH for posting this.
I don't enjoy watching my pay go
from a living wage in the 80s/90s with decent line counts and fairly decent dictators to horrendous ESLs, "creative" line counts to gyp the MT, and pay so low you can make more at McDonald's.
I do enjoy transcribing & editing. Preaching to the choir here, as we all know MT isn't something anyone without training and skill can do. The pay should be commensurate with knowledgel, but sadly it isn't. That is why I only do MT on weekends now and have a FT job in a completely different field. I simply can't afford to be an MT anymore.
When enough skilled transcriptionists leave the MT industry and US hospitals are fed up with offshore quality or get sued enough times and the message finally hits home, maybe there will be a demand again for MT, but I doubt it. That is my hope though.
It's a distraction. Besides, there's nothing on worth watching
anyway. I don't even have a favorite TV show any more because they've all gotten so offensive. One thing that helped me was to figure out how much time I wasted during a day and how many lines I typed on the message boards. That's all wasted. It could be earned money instead of fooling around with meaningless distractions.
I thought I was the only one up at 3 a.m. watching that show. lol. nm
:)
Watching Captain Kangaroo
I was 5 at the time, but I have always liked the Beatles and for some reason I remember not the exact moment but a moment where I'm sitting on the couch and the news is on. My 6 year old loves the Beatles. It's so cute to hear here sing the songs. She doesn't like all of them, but she has her favorites.
Not what I'm watching. Only has been is that stupid Master P
and he's just an idiot.
Watching Grey's Anatomy and never
saw it before. I couldn't tell if they were daydreaming, going back or going forward. I missed a couple of seconds when the phone rang and the Asian girl who was pregnant is in the hospital and the doctor is cuddling her. Did she miscarry?
TRXinc - i'm sure they're watching.
.
Thanks, I love watching these things. nm

I haven't been watching it as long as you but...
Trisha went to the nut house but was faking her mental illness so they wouldn't put her in jail. As far as her Dad - I don't even remember him. Brittany supposedly went to live with her parents after Bobby was killed. I think eventually they'll be back on.
Thought Scott (Lauren's son) was coming back. Also, what happened to writer/killer he was working with? The last I knew she went for another "new face". Maybe she's the new chick at the coffee house (where did she pop in from)? LOL - This situation with Victor is so ridiculous.
Nick and Phylllis are the best part. They add spark to the show....and that's not sayin' much.
Actually makes me feel someone is watching OUT for me

This gift has been won. Keep watching for more giveaways!

I have been watching the internet news --sm
concerning this, as I still have previous marriage relatives that live in various parts of the east coast. This is horrible, and now I read something about a dam (near NY, I think) that is being weakened by waters 25 ft above flood stage...what else can happen!? Take care to all of you out there!
my dad was debilitated and suffering and watching this
