Astrology is pretty old...see
http://www.astrology.com/aboutastrology/overview/history/
At one time was it wasn't considered anti-bible or anti-Christian.
Sorry, but astrology pre-dates
began in the Renaissance, with Galileo being one of the first astronomers. Astrology pre-dates Christianity. As to whether astrology is incompatible with God, I respectfully disagree.
Do you believe in horoscopes, astrology, biorhythms,
planetary alignment, fate, karma, kismet, or any of those things? I don't know if I do or not, but my horoscope has been right on lately. I've been thinking about quitting MT and going a different direction. However, it's a humongous leap. I'd be freelance, so I'd have to establish myself. There are no guarantees that I could even cut it in the business. I've been sticking with the MT to have my "fallback" money, but that leaves me no time to pursue this other career option. The other thing I've been thinking about is trying to pick up a local account since I've had no luck trying to find ONE part-time MT job with steady work and a decent platform. I'm just so frustrated with trying to juggle three jobs lately and having no time to pursue my interests. Anyway, my horoscope today said I need to listen to that inner voice that's telling me to move on. The rational part of me knows that horoscopes are just generalized to fit anyone. Even my fortune cooky last night said something about following a different path.
illegal aliens
A burglar is not an uninvited house guest. A car jacker is not an underrated driver. A bank robber is not making an unauthorized withdrawal. And illegal aliens are not undocumented immigrants. Let's not sugarcoat things. The correct terminology for the nearly 20 million people illegaly in the US is illegal aliens. By definition an alien is a person who comes from a foreign country. Thus an illegal alien.
Elvis? LOL! Did he ever make a good movie?

numerology
I can't answer your question, but my birthday is 08/08, I was 8 pounds when I was born, and my dad died 8 days after my 18th birthday. Also, my family's birthdays go 2, 4, 6, 8.
Anyone into numerology?
Both my husband and I have been seeing lots of 4s and 1s lately...anyone into numerology and can tell me the significance...if there is any? I'm not superstitious (sp?), but...it's getting really freaky. 
numerology
I'm not sure what 4 and 1 mean - could mean something to you personally like a birthday or anniversary date? I kept seeing 4 and 6 or 46 all the time and wasn't sure what it meant. Then I realized it was April 6 - my dad's b-day. He died shortly after I "got it" and I don't see it any more. Really weird.
numerology--sm
every year, everyone has a particular dominant number associated with their date of birth, etc. just like astrological signs. 4 and 1 added together (5) may be your yearly number. you would have to check with a numerologist for that. go to tarot.com as they have a numerology section there and I think you can check for free to see what your particular number is for this year. mine is 7, and my new apartment I moved into is #61...added together is 7. I find it interesting. good luck
You remember seeing Elvis' debut on the Ed Sullivan show!!!

Sure - let's take a look at some of the many benefits that illegal aliens have blessed us with, s
Street gangs, graffitti, drugs, skyrocketing healthcare, depreciation of property value, welfare fraud, illiteracy. The list could go on. What they actually have to offer (cheap labor) pales to what they have given our country to deal with. I'll take expensive vegetables over expensive healthcare any day!
Aliens from the amoral Planet Roche
You are clearly educationally sub normal. Has Accutane destroyed so many neurons inside your head that you think it's safe? If you want to go on taking this stuff, despite all the risks, that's your look-out but kindly allow the Food and Drug Administration to protect the lives of other people. You'll probably be gaga within five years and dead within ten, so we won't have to read any more of your rubbish.
Do you have any idea how many people this drug has killed (and not not just through suicide) or how many lies dermatologist-lackeys and Roche have told about it? Hundreds have committed suicide and tens of thousands have suffered permanent damage. Go to www.accutaneaction.com for details of independent studies on the drug and information about the villainous manufacturer. [Described as "No 1 Corporate Criminal" by a leading business magazine.] It wasn't Saddam the USAF should have been bombing in 2003: it was b*****ds like Roche. Drug companies kill many times more Americans, every year, than Bin Laden did in 2001 [and, besides, we know that the war in Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism. It was all about oil production and prices].
At the end of the day, Accutane is unnecessary, certainly for mild or moderate acne and, in the overwhelming majority of cases, dermatologists were prescribing it- against the terms of the drug's license- for such conditions.
In the final analysis, Acne, no matter how bad, is not a life-threatening condition and is certainly not worth the risk of brain damage; turning your baby into a barely human freak-show; being chemically castrated; or ending up with a CFS-type illness through mitochondrial damage and dying prematurely. [There are several other treatments, which are more effective than Accutane and much, much less dangerous. Drug companies and (ever-conservative) doctors don't want anyone to know about them.]
The list of "side" effects is a very long one. In fact, Accutane has one of the biggest entries of all time, in Webster's Physicians Desk Reference. It's no wonder an FDA official labelled Accutane as the fourth or fifth most dangerous legal drug.
By selling patients a chemotherapy drug, as if it were a teaspoonful of cod liver oil, Roche have made themselves the Nazi war criminals of the late Twentieth Century. I'll qualify that statement, in a moment.
It was not a huge shock to learn that Hoffman-La Roche is a Swiss, family-owned firm. After all, it was old, Swiss family firms, which melted down gold teeth from the death camps; and fenced paintings, stolen from Jews. Their quaint, family-owned government [Das Schwytzerdeutsches Reich?] allowed the Wehrmacht to transport anything it liked into Italy, extending WW2, there, by eighteen months. To the Swiss, life means nothing and money means everything. That was true in the 1940s and it's still true today. The Swiss government even threatens corporate whistleblowers with jail, so close is the relationship between government and big business. Has anyone ever thought of a imposing a de-nazification program on Switzerland, so that it might end up as liberal as (western) Germany?
Now back to the alleged similarity to war criminals.
Like Josef Mengele, who asphyxiated Jewish children at 40,000 feet or froze them to death in baths of ice, Hoffman-La Roche didn't obtain INFORMED consent.
At least, it can be said that Mengele's research had practical benefits for Luftwaffe pilots. He may have been mad, perverted, evil and all the rest but he did it for "the Fatherland" and carried out research on sound scientific principles. Roche, on the other hand, were only ever interested in making more and more money and bought "evidence", every time cracks started to appear in their reputation.
They lied about what their drug really was and covered up its side effects. They hired "scientists" and doctors from various parts of the World and bribed them to tell the regulatory bodies that Accutane was safe. [These people belong in jail too, as "collaborators".]
Roche even laughed, in internal memos which flew around its American HQ in Nutley NJ, at how ignorant the outside World was of the horrific side effects, particularly the teratogenic [monster-creating] effects on the unborn. How would you like it, if you ended up with half a brain? Oh, you already did. Sorry.
This display of arrogance was their downfall. It was when these memos were leaked to the FDA, that a raid was staged and computers and documents seized. That is why such stringent controls were placed on the use of Accutane. In effect, even the manufacturer was admitting (in private) that it is lethal.
Because of the company's deceit and dishonesty over many years, the patients (or more likely their parents) were misinformed and weren't in a position to take an INFORMED decision about whether to take Accutane.
At the end of the day, a child murderer is still a child murderer, whether he lives in a luxury mansion near Basel and is a "pillar of society" or he is associated with a discredited, demonic regime. Everyone should be equal, before the law.
instead of outsourcing Wal-Mart is "importing" illegal aliens to work for pennies

Let them be alive and let them know help is on the way.
You never met a person who is working at a miserable job until you have met a coal miner. I grew up in a coal mining town with company houses, a company store, the "circle" (where the company bosses lived in their McMansions). These men came home and simply sat there, staring into space. Some drank too much beer, many actually. They made good money but I really do not think they felt well after 10 years in those mines as they never did anything but sleep and work and just sit there at the kitchen table or where ever their favorite place to sit was. I thought that they probably did not feel very well. Of course, this was back in the 1960s and 1970s. Maybe things have changed. Working conditions were very bad. I felt sorry for these men. They rarely talked much at all. Most seemed to end up with black lung.
Moderator still alive?
Indians wanting jobs on job seeker board too.
I can't think. I mean to finish: wish everyone there was alive and well and the tragedy was just

Finding Your Friend Alive
It is very possible your friend is still alive, as they are still finding people alive every day and if he is still in the area, unfortunately there is not much in the way of any phones working in these hard hit areas, so it wouldn't surprise me if he is still alive. Have you searched all of the Red Cross Shelter lists? Everyone who is at a shelter has to have their names put on a list and there are new names being added everyday.
Let's keep the misogyny alive! Yeah!
And Eve got us kicked out of the Garden of Eden because she used her "feminine wiles" on Adam and he was older than her but couldn't make his own decisions because she FORCED him to eat the apple. Take it to the religion boards.
The patient lives with her parents, who are both alive and well.
I would hope they'd be alive. 
12 FOUND ALIVE - THE MIRACLE DID HAPPEN.
She has to be the dumbest person alive to have stayed
married to an alcoholic and drug user, and to have had children by him. She endangered the lives of those children. She is blind, says she never sees anything bad that the press reports. Maybe that is because they are sheltered and protected from any protesters so they can continue to think they are the king and queen of the world.
Sorry, I think you're all wrong. This is the sexiest man alive...!

POLL: Sexiest Male Celebrity Alive?
I still go for Tom Cruise everytime! I know, he's weird, but I simply can't help it!
Open your eyes. Poverty is very much alive in our own country.
in the old days, most animals raised for consumption at least got a life while they were alive.
not anymore.
Not only are they treated with unbelieveable barbarity, the producers are destroying irreplaceable GOVERNMENT (meaning, it's OURS) owned forests and range for feed - more and more each year...not to mention the absolute filth rampant in the industry - they have them so crowded and unclean that it's a wonder MORE e.coli and other diseases aren't pandemic.
Go visit a slaughter house - any slaughter house. Yep, it's not that hard to give up meat. It is totally unnecessary in anybody's diet.
I have to admit though, when the neighbors are barbecuing a slab of pork, my mouth waters and my brain goes into DESIRE!!!
Yes, it eats the brain and body alive trying to get back to your lines that you did on the old
platforms. After while you just disintegrate in a little heap.
guess she is alive and kicking, quite hard at that! how is it we follow her books so religiously??
she designs MT pretty much as it is today, then blows it off as not cost-effective etc etc?
Will be a nurse-practitioner...but I'll keep my MTSO as long as it stays alive...

I've always wondered about numerology. My birthday is on the 19th, my mom's birthday is on th
19th, my dad's birthday is on the 19th, and my great-grandmother's birthday is on the 19th. All of different months, but I've always wondered if there was something significant about the number 19 that I'm missing.
One Space
MQ employee here and we were told one space!
It's their space. They can do as the please. Go get your own
and make your own rules.
Go get your own space
She wouldn't have this space if it weren't for the MT's who keep it alive. What a silly answer to some genuine concerns.
space changes
Did anyone else get the memo about the change in spacing for MQ? On DQS, there will be only one space after periods. They will let each account know when the switch is made. Its a *new national standard*, the memo says. OMG, so here I have typed since high school with two spaces, now I have to retrain myself to use only one space after periods. Just another thing to cut down on my production.
Yes, its 1 space in the BOS and most new
English/grammar/business references. Since the age of computers, the powers-that-be, whoever they are, decided that the double space after a period was not a good thing anymore. So, most business courses, college courses, etc., have changed to 1 space now. You just set up a macro to change 2 spaces after a period to 1 space when you are done with the report. And yes it does depend on client preferences, though most that I work for like 1 space. Guess they feel they're getting more bang for their buck! 
x2, no space

My space
I love myspace and have met lots of friends! Not Mr Right though! Its just really a fun thing to do, building your own web page and all, if you like doing that kind of thing!
They already took one space away when most...sm
of us went from two spaces after periods and colons to one. This is just the natural progression of them cutting our pay back little by little.
The BOS says x3 with no space
but regardless, I would type what the supervisor wants. It doesn't matter how you have always done it.
I have found out many times that things that I have done for years are technically incorrect. Just part of the game, unfortunately.
You can just hit your space bar, put a . or at least
one character in the box. I just hit the space bar usually.
At MQ we are to space once after a period.
That just changed in the last 6 months.
anything to keep from paying for a space
That is ridiculous and has to do with money rather than the "correct way" to do things.
double space
Geez, I thought I asked a simple question, but I guess not. I could care less what Medquist or AAMT say. I get paid hourly so I didn't ask the question because I was worried about money. I was asking in general style terms - are newspapers, magazines, i.e., anything in print spacing this way now? I just wanted to know if I was behind the times.
I can't put 15yo because if I don't space
after it it won't expand. I'll try the other's though! Thanks, it's really driving me crazy not getting this to work!
Anyone use only 1 space after sentences?
This is new to me on one of my jobs. I have always typed 2 spaces after sentences for 25 years. Going to be hard to break this habit now.
1 space after sentence
I made the switch to 1 space after a sentence more than 15 years ago when I got my first computer and everything was justified. If you can't remember to do, you can make an adjustment in Word to do it automatically for you or just make a macro to do it for you. I have one account who insists on 2 spaces and I cannot remember to do that so I just transcribe as I normally do and then run a macro to change it. You can also do a search and replace. Put in period space space and then replace with period space.

1 space isn't just an MT thing ....
I changed to one space years ago, to go with the flow. I'm not an MT yet (still a student) but we've done this on legal documents for years. It came about with the computer. For once (from my VERY limited MT experience), I have to say AAMT isn't the culprit, its the new way to do things.
1 space after sentence.
Yes I have to do that also. It took me a long time to get used to it, however, but after awhile, it felt very natural.
My work space...
We fixed up half of our basement about 10 years ago and no one really used it after awhile. I just painted (lime smoothie with swimming pool trim - very bright). I have a small TV and DVD player and VCR for when I'm NOT working. Just bought a bookcase for the references I don't use on a daily basis - the ones that I do are on the filing cabinet beside my desk. Also have several movie posters - Dirty Dancing and Ever After - framed and also some Beatles and some of my kids artwork from when they were little. It's very cozy and all MINE.
