Okay fellow MTs I know this
was probably asked many times before, but where do you all get the little spongy things that go on your headphones? Mine got a hole in and they were the last pair I had. Do they sell them in any stores?

Or you could help your fellow MTs by...
Taking the time to object to this settlement. Opt out and object! I am sending letters to the attorneys to do just that.

Not the OP, but he seems like such a sweet fellow.

Dear fellow MTs...sm
I am stuck and don't know what to do. I keep going back and forth and now I am afraid to make any move at all. Could use some of your opinions on this situation. At the moment, I have two part time jobs. The one I have worked for a little over 3 years as an IC. The other I just started about 4-5 weeks ago. I did seek the company out and I started with them full time employee so I could get some PTO for once in my life. However, I had to switch to part time employee because of the schedule thing. We all know as an IC, we have a lot more flexibility and this is very important to me, and the new company is a set schedule that must be followed. Long story short, I went into the new job hoping to make better money, work smarter, not harder, and drop the IC job. But, 5 weeks later, I just still can't drop the IC position so I am now working more, working harder, and working more than full time and I need to make a decision. The new job pays better but after taxes and all, not really! It is an employee position so I have to work a given schedule. The job itself is basically the same as my IC job, not easier, but maybe slightly more difficult to make lines. The IC job is a job and at one point, I was treated very unfairly by the owner and that bothers me a bit because of fear of that happening again, but for the most part, it has been good to me and is considered one of the best IC jobs out there. I really am stuck and need some opinions/advice from you all that have made the leap from IC to employee or employee to IC. I feel I am at a dead end being an IC, but yet I need the flexibility to some extent. I don't know what to do. Both companies are considered GOOD ones by MTstars company board criteria. Any and all opinions/advice appreciated. TIA

Hello, fellow Iowan!
There are plenty of MTSOs online. What are you looking for?

Need my fellow MTs opinions...sm

I've been working from home as an IC for my 7 years of MTing. MUCH has changed in my life and I find that it may be time to leave the home office and get back into the world of the living. I spoke wiht a hospial in my area and got a bit of info - full time position Monday through Friday, full benefit package, tuition reimbursement, life insurance, healthcare, disabiliy, etc. The top pay is 6k less than what I'm making now, but that is not that important as there are other factors I have to take into consideration. My question to those of you who are in-house MTs, would you share your hourly rate - just a ballpark. This is the first time I've ventured down this path and actually received figures from a potential employer.

So, what do you all think?

Fellow struggler
I, too, struggle with my line count (though slowly growing).

I have a few accounts but ENDLESS dictators with one of them.

If I didn't use an Expander I would be toast. Between spelling, word/drug oddities, and making tons of various sentence expansions (to help conform to soooo many dictators), I feel there is no other way.

It is true it takes time but worth it ultimately.

Any knowledge you can gain as far as medical language would be a big plus too. That is another problem I have ... trying to retain the meanings of things to verify if they fit.

How nice is this keyboard? Nice light touch?
I have a regular Microsoft ergonomic one now but I'm thinking I should probably get a replacement and use mine as a backup.

g'night fellow vampire! I'm right behind ya (sm)
Hey, stick figures would be okay... heaven knows we're ALL thin in THIS city!!

Thanks for the fun ;-)

She is a fellow MT. I thought it was the right thing to do as many might know her. why?

Thank you fellow Northeaster. I'll try it! sm

I'm a Mainer. It's getting chilly tonight. I'm not happy. $2.499 for heating oil here and old man winter is coming. I'll break out the heating pad. :)

Thank goodness we have a wood backup and some wood. I've already told the hubby and kids to break out their socks and sweaters because that thermostat will NOT go above 65 this winter.

to fellow psych major
I would like to start working in the field before I get my BA. Do you know how many credits you would need in order to do that, and is an AA degree far enough to begin work? You're a lot closer than me so I figured you might know this. It would be a big weight off my shoulders knowing I could work within three years rather than 7, which seems so long. Thanks in advance

fellow animal lovers/MTs

boycott Iams pet food - they have been charged of horrible animal cruelty in testing their food, see web site below.

good morning fellow MTs
Does anyone have a used C phone for sale. E-mailed a few people on board who said they had one but have not heard back from either one. Thank's in advance....

A fellow co-worker said it was all mucked up

last week. I think she's off today though so haven't heard. Wouldn't doubt it.

Ok to snag this and send to a few fellow MTs? sm
This really rings a bell for me, and I know it would a few friends of mine, also. I would never copy it and send it on without asking permission, though.

Merry Christmas!

Fellow QAs/editors: Using a mouse 8 hrs a day
is really making my right hand hurt. Has anyone found a mouse that's more comfortable? TIA!

Just wanted to say STAY SAFE to my fellow Tx MTs. sm
I am in East Texas and although we don't expect the hard hit, very high potential for flooding, tornadoes, and power outages. Everyone take care of yourself and prepare if you haven't already.

Good 4U! Fellow people-pleaser here LOL.nm

Homeless man receives rewards worth $4,000 for honesty
7/25/2006, 9:55 a.m. ET
The Associated Press

DETROIT (AP) � A homeless man is finding out that it pays to be honest.

Charles Moore, who found and turned in nearly $21,000 worth of U.S. savings bonds, has received rewards worth $4,000, The Detroit News reported Tuesday.

Moore, 59, was originally given $100 from the son of the deceased bond owner, but residents here and in other states decided that wasn't enough.

A Belleville man sent him eight trash bags full of returnable bottles and a bowl of coins. Three people pledged a combined $2,500, while two Troy businessmen donated $1,200, a shopping spree at a men's clothing store and a lead on a job.

"I was thankful for it," said Moore, who lost his job in Toledo, Ohio, as a roofer, moved back to his native Michigan and can't find a job.

David C. Smith, of Albuquerque, N.M., gave Moore $1,000. Smith said he and his fiancee wouldn't have thought twice about what to do if the bonds had belonged to them.

"We would have given him the whole amount, period," Smith said. "No questions asked."

Moore said he plans to use the money to find an apartment.

He was searching for returnable bottles in a trash bin when he made the discovery last week. Moore took the bonds to a 24-hour walk-in homeless shelter, where a staffer made some phone calls and tracked down the owner's family.
