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 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.

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?!

Would appreciate any feedback on which cruise and/or cruise line you have experienced and if you recommend them.  Would like to stay away from Disney, as it will be just hubby and I.  All the websites are so full of "perfection" I would like to hear "real comments."   TIA for any input everyone. 

I'm leaving again next week on a cruise, and can take the work with me.  As an MTSO, I don't have to transcribe, but could if I needed; just download via ship internet to laptop and type offline, then send back.  I use to move files, answer emails, and JUST IN CASE, have the ability to transcribe should the world fall apart while I'm gone!  Also, if you get an AIRCARD, you CAN download/send files while traveling where phone signal is available.  Life is good with flexibility!!!

my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away!  I checked and the Type It button is grayed out!  I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies.  Can anyone please help me ASAP?  I am lost without it!  TIA

But this article states it would only affect new customers right now.  So I am upset over nothing.  I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge.  I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me.  It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc.  It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.

some of you think he doesn't have the right to have.  I don't care HOW ridiculous it is, it is HIS opinion...just the same as we all have ours that he's nuts. LOL

Yes, I think he's really gone out there making the ridiculous claims he has...but, it is his right to think the way he does.  Just as you have the right to think differently.

Doesn't change the fact that he is a fabulous actor and a box office sure bet. 

I don't subscribe to his perspective on PPD or drug therapy or psychiatry at all.  I'm sure he doesn't subscribe to my perspective on sitting at the computer all day to type out reports about other people just to make a few bucks. 

Now, there are people in this world sadly enough who will not seek help because of what he said and for those people I am truly sad for.  Those tend to be the same people who VOTE according to what their favorite celebrity says as well.  LOL

I believe in complete autonomy so if these people must mess up their lives because they have the right to - then let them. 

I won't boycott anyone because I differ in their opinion about treating problems.  He's not a criminal; he's not a child molester; he's not a sexual offender; he's not a thief; he's not a tax evader; he's not .. he's not any of the things that I feel I SHOULD make a boycott about it. 

The movie was fantastic.  You're missing out but, hey, that's your right!!  LOL 

Enjoy your evening!

the water supply --- that's my personal opinion on why there is such a growing red tide.

They try to say it's just an algae bloom, but the toxin that makes up what is known as red tide is actually lots and lots of different toxins generically called "red tide."

The "red tide" in Massachusets for example is not the "red tide" that affects the southern coastal states and shellfish.

We sit here and watch

cruise ships go by,

barge traffic,

luxury yachts,

many more people living on sail boats,

house boats (there is no more property to buy at a reasonable price so they are living on boats and probably dumping effluent in the water). 

"Red tide" comes not only from marine water, it comes from resevoirs, your reclaimed water you spray your lawns with, you get it off the grass or bushes as you pass them, it is aerosolized as you water your lawn or go by an area where lawns are being watered.  There is a plethora of ways we are getting "red tide"

But nobody talks about how we are getting it. 

Look out there people, it is a toxic dump along the coast lines.  I stand on the pier and see household trash floating by all day long.  Plastic Wal-Mart bags and floating juice bottles, Frito Lay potato chip bags --- and you know some boater has thrown the trash overboard on the way to the dock. 

We have people living on boats all over the place in the bayous.  ICK.  You know what's happening there.

The beautiful lawns 100 yards from where people are swimming and oh my gosh catching fish and getting mollusk clams and taking them home and eating them --- the chemicals in the run-off from manicured lawns and the animal excrement where hundreds of people walk their dogs is just right there! right there in the water those people are going to swim in, put their babies in, eat the shellfish out of.  But nobody is warning them.  TheY think it's OCEAN WATER AND IT'S SO HEALTHY.  It is not healthy.

Yesterday as I was saying the red tide was so awful at the beach-----------An interesting observation: 

NO BIRDS!  There was not a sand piper, sea gull, or pelican in sight.  NOT ONE.

I don't think I'd make it down south.  We had high 90s with humidity for 16 days straight and that was bad enough.  Glad it is cool again. 

e-mail because of the high prices and this a national boycott. Wondering if anyone else received or heard this.

Just did 1343 lines in 170 minutes but that includes printing, 24 envelopes, looking up names, getting on here three times, doing 3 E-mails to my subcontractor -- at 0.11 per gross line.  So I am happy today.

DOCTOR:  "Please send a CC to her primary care physician.  I do not know who that is, but send him or her a copy anyway."

No other reports exist for this patient.

Yes, in my spare time I'm a psychic!
