You people make me laugh.Half say they sm
betrayed their families by making pretend they weren't gay, but they were MADE to have families becuase you condem them for being together. So let me see if I get this straight-don't pretend you are straight and don't be gay. What is that called? Oh yeah, SICK. If people left each other alone to be what they were born to be we wouldn't have families betrayed to begin with. Get it????? Think hard.
now you did make me laugh....sm
because i haven't thought of Bosco since I was a kid - and it's been a pretty long while since I was a kid!!
Communist? Please don't make me laugh!
In Communist countries, one does not PAY ANYthing for insurance. I don't agree with her garnishment comment on this issue, but it hardly makes her a 'communist.'
So before you call *any*one a Communist, pls get a better understanding of the definition of communism! :)
Don't laugh, I make $100 a week for 7 hours.
AND. . . my Christmas tips last year were over $500.00 for 65 customers. It's only 5 small streets in my own neighborhood (no car required) amd takes less than an hour every morning.
Great exercise, great nontaxable money.
If you're an early riser, this job is for you. I start at 5:00 a.m.
My only drawback is that I live in the Northeast and it's kinda rough in February when it's 20 below.
Mothers covering for childless women? Don't make me laugh!! nm

so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
should've been good laugh not could laugh

i don't know why people make fun of mq and ceo(s) of mq. they are trying so hard
it takes TIME to award these prizes and to figure out pay increases. They have priorities you know. They are fighting lawsuits, figuring out bonuses for management and trying to save their own jobs or at least accumulate some cash in an offshore bank before going to jail or getting fired for running a scam operation bilking the shareholders, clients and MTs.
Just be patient. In a year or so Frank will come through (or at least his replacement) as to who won the Hawaii trip.
I'm with you ... people can make their own choices. nm

Some of us are IT people who make more money
doing MT. I've found that I know more about computers than the so-called IT people working for MT services. However, I would never recommend PC Doctor. AVG Free is the best free antivirus software out there. And you're not an id-iot. It's also tough to know which programs will cause a software conflict until you actually try them. Hope things go better for you.
I am not worried about what other people make... sm
What bothers me is that people post about how there wages are so low, their income is low, and it discourages the new people in the field before they get a chance to see for themselves what they can or cannot do. I just really do not see how people can not type more than 75-100 lines an hour if they are really working their job. I consistently type 350-400 lines an hour for 6 hours a day. That averages me to $35-40 an hour - which is way over minimum wage.
I have seen editors/QA people act put-upon because we make mistakes.
That's their JOB to correct mistakes. And while we are working on production and a QA/Editor has time to listen to something over and over, they act like we should have gotten this and why was it sent to QA blah, blah. Editors forget the sole purpose of their job is to fix the report and move on. Some of them have to lord it over you with comments that are totally unnecessary. Just give me the answer and I certainly don't need a speech or reprimand with the answer. You do your job and I'll do mine. I don't lecture you, don't lecture me.
Just make a "mean people" forum nm

KD, are you on crack - very few people make $50,000/year - sm
I make about $58,000, but I work my butt off doing it, have 18 years experience. You sound like a Sally Struthers ad when you make a comment like that! Next thing you know, you will be telling this woman that she can breastfeed her child while she is transcribing and have another one sitting on her lap!!
I do love this job, but I tell people to expect to make at least $25,000-$30,000/year.
Geez, you people make it sound like
"my family" has a bunch of incestuous perverts running around. Give it a break! My kids never even started it, the other kids at school did. ALL boys think it's funny to overexaggerate when they get hit in the privates. It's not like they're walking around playing doctor or anything. It's the rolling around on the ground, Oh! my privates! that they think is funny. As if your sons, brothers, or whoever is going to tell you about it anyway. You're overthinking it and turning it into something it's not. I did say I do not tolerate it or find it funny. I am a darn good parent and I don't trash talk my kids' teachers either. I've never pulled them out of classes or switched schools. So please, spare ME the lectures and get out of your little glass houses.
some people need to make themselves sound important
Obviously this person who considers MT a "profession" is in denial and has low, if any, expectations for herself.
You can't make people up this late in the game!
LOL
Power can make people crazy.
She sounds like a manager who caused me to leave my last job. She also was terrible at details too, but what a mess she turned out to be, starting all the rumors. Ridiculous.
Defensive people make the most errors
I bet... if you are good you would be quiet, if you are a bad MT you will blast poor QA lady all day.
what do the middle people make per line?
I may be negotiating a contract directly with a radiology business, but I"ve only done independent contractor work up until now. I'd like to enter into negotiations seeming like I know my way around the block: what do companies (who hire transcriptionists) tend to make per line? How would I find that out?
Who ARE these people who make this stuff up every year charge $ for it??
I could make one up every year myself. Why do they think they are an authority. I have never understood this, and will never buy another one. I bought one in my life for $75. What a waste of money to read someone's "made up rules for this year."
But really. To make this work, don't you have to intrude upon people's lives and SM
make a horrible pest of yourself? Honestly? My riding instructor, who is one of the dearest friends I've ever had, gets into these schemes. His latest was Tahitian Noni juice.
He had some remarkable results with it on a horse that was just a juvenile delinquent - she reared in crossties, acted up at shows when she wasn't in the arena, she was just a PMSing witch.
So I was impressed. I went to a meeting with him. Come to find out, they don't actually want you to buy the Noni juice - they want you to recruit other people to recruit other people. Biggest mess of flim-flam I've ever seen.
the people who really make BIG BUCKS are business owners
especially when they go into...say- window washing or something right away, instead of into debt. In general, I'm for college - plan to push my kids to get their master's right away as that seems entry level nowadays - but where I made really good money was owning my own service. Make(made) more as an MTSO than I ever will as a nurse-practitioner.
But just because people are not willing to financially help doesn't make them any less helpful th

Questions like the one quoted SHOULD make people angry.
There's a difference between needing help with something difficult, and asking a question that NOBODY who is working as an MT should have to ask. If you can't figure that word out or find the answer yourself, you shouldn't be working as an MT. Period.
I really admire people that can make that kind of money
but knowing the hours she must work, and the days she must put in (probably all week plus the weekend), that's just not for me. Money isn't everything and I'd rather make my $40,000 and have my weekends free and work my 8 hours, five days a week and be done. Again, this is just me. Now if I could make that money working normal hours, I'd be happy. (I can dream can't I?)
People are jealous, I think, so they make snide and disparaging comments.
SOMETIMES, tho, you get these same people coming back asking you how to get trained, how to find jobs like this. It's a weird situation.
It's amazing we let people operate on us who cannot put two words together to make a sentence.
:+
don't worry about frantic people who try to make a point by calling names.
They are immediate losers when it comes down to winning any sort of valid logical argument and you can see this person is a LOSER because they did not mention any companies to support their argument and instead lashed out at you. HOW SMART IS THAT?
Yes, write some letters to the Dell people....if you make some noise you will get your refund.
and mail/fax whatever-- get their attention....don't be outright nasty but you can get pissy a little. It will work and you will get your money back.
The people proofing are human. Humans make mistakes daily.

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Please don't laugh....sm
Do not use suppositories vaginally......
If you are not vomiting, also, try something oral. If you are, patience I'm afraid is the only answer unless you become dehydrated, at which time you can receive something IM or IV.
But, a definite NO on the suppository question.
Feel better soon!
A little laugh
 I told my 18 yo son today about a close family friend and his wife had a baby boy today and that he called me right away to let me know because he was so excited. My son looked at me and said, "Yeah right mom, really, he had a baby today." I looked right back at him and said, "Yes son, it takes both people to have the baby, a girl certainly can't get pregnant by herself!"
This is funny to me because I know my son not sexually active yet (remember I know his girlfriend) and I certainly didn't expect to hear something like that, just reminded me of the little boy my young man still is. 
For a laugh
and to see if any other MTs had times where they didn't want to disturb their beloved pets during a workday and made the same sacrifice. Lighten up. Was just a funny moment, that's all.
laugh
great1!!! loved it!! he he he. LOL.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh!

Thanks for the laugh
now there's an innovative use for the BOS and something it is good for! LOL
thanks for the laugh!! nm
All you can do is laugh...if you don't
you'll just go insane!! LOL
Thanks for the laugh!!
I kind of like the story, too!
What a laugh
Don't laugh!
I cut it all off with a steak knife and eat it with a fork! How does one eat corn vertically? Huh?
I have to laugh at this
What you're asking is like Gateway asking Dell, Coca-Coca asking Pepsi or Marriott asking Hilton to hand to them on a silver platter information to get their business off the ground so they can compete with the other. Rotsa' ruck pal!
Have to Laugh
Rather than be upset, annoyed or anything else I can be for this ESL that sends a 25 minute dictation, with pauses, very strong dialect, and grammar issues ending up to be a 1.5 page report - I had to laugh, when he started giving me the punctuation too - as far as he is concerned this is one long paragraph with commas and semi colons just about every third word. No kidding. Too bad they ask that I clean it up - so many times he want shis work VERBATIM - and he dictates his instructions with force during his tirade.
Just have to laugh.
I so enjoy this board!
Okay, here's a laugh for you (sm)
This is a verbatim account and it would serve them right if I transcribed it the way it was stated. "Chest x-ray of the right foot is pending." I don't know how they teach anatomy in his country but it certainly is different from here. 
Thanks for the laugh :-) nm
Proofreading and had to laugh. sm
In one of my word programs I noticed I apparently typed does not too fast and it came up as "doe snot." The spellchecker didn't pick it up.
After I got done laughing about the poor female deer with post nasal drip, I entered a quick correct in my expansions.
That's SO funny. Thanks for the laugh!

Need a good laugh? Here goes...
My friend e-mailed me information on this guy posted on a singles dating site. Here's the scoop on him:
- Hasn't worked in over 2 years but "looking as I've run out of money."
- Wife died theoretically suddenly in September.
- He's losing his home next month to foreclosure and is looking to move anywhere he can.
I reckon' that since he has a pulse he considers himself a good catch, eh ladies? Sounds like a true moocher to me who is looking for someone with a home that he can move into and probably expect you to pay the bills! I'll stay single forever as opposed to letting someone like that into my life. I don't know many people who have a spouse die suddenly that are looking to hook up with another person within 2 months... much less the other red flags! My friend wasn't serious that I should be interested in him - she just thought that I'd appreciate the fact that at least I'm not THAT desperate to hook up with someone!
