Hey Blondee,

What language did you're folks speak before they came here to the great melting pot?....Did they come through Ellis Island, Angel Island, on the Mayflower or in the bottom of a ship in shackles...We're all immigrants....unless, of course, you're a Native American or Inuit.

I speak a few languages and had gotten called outta my office at any given time to translate in the ER or OR. If it helped to save someone's life and/or calm a family's nerves, that was cool with me.

It would be nice if everyone just spoke the king's English.

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

Are we "SLOW LEARNERS" or what?

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Okay, that's frustrating. Anyhoo, the regs for setting up corporations vary from state to state and it also varies as to what kind of corporation you can set up.

I set up an LLC for something and I used legalzoom.com. It cost a couple hundred bucks, but it was well worth it for me. I got all the completed paperwork back in about 6 weeks or so and I didn't have to worry whether I had dotted and crossed everything that needed dotted and crossed.

If you're in or near your state capital you can go to the Secretary of State's office and they can probably help you as well.

Christmas IS celebrated on this website. If you do not celebrate Christmas, that is your prerogative. However, if posts celebrating Christmas offends you, you might consider another site as we celebrate Christmas on this website and will do so every single year. As the owner of this website, I am proud to say MERRY CHRISTMAS in celebration of Christ's birth. I will not fall in line with others who are being politically correct and I do not expect others who celebrate Christmas to be forced to conform either. Since over 95% of Americans celebrate Christmas, I do not see what the big deal is anyway. For those who do not celebrate Christmas, I offer respect for whatever you do celebrate though I may not agree with your belief system. In turn, I also would hope that you would respect what I celebrate.

All posts referencing a so called MQ sale have been removed. Posters should be above pettiness by posting rumor. FACTS speak volumes.

I proof after, but would love to proof during. I'm working on it. I'm curious as to what percentage of MTs proof as they go or proof at the end?

Deals that big cannot, CANNOT, be done in a sneaky fashion. It just doesn't happen. I worked in investor relations for many years before my stint in MT and I promise you, if you read the fine print and follow shareholder's meetings and the daily stock news, you should never be surprised.

Not directed at you, but sometimes I think MTs love catastrophic thinking. It's simply not realistic in this context.

Voc. Rehab. let me try one out when they were helping me get my ergonomics together, and I knew right away I could never get used to it. I have rather "fat" fingers, though, and I think that was part of it. If you have longer, thinner fingers, it might be right up your alley.

You can rent one (which can then be applied to the purchase price, I think?) for awhile from this site to try it out, rather than outright buying it.

How do you prove it though unless you are on the "inside" workings of the beast? It's like the old Bugs Bunny where they were splitting up cash or something and the swindling character said, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one two for me. One for you, one two three for me...etc."

who would dictate into the late hours, sometimes almost hour-long dictations, and I could periodically hear the cork coming out of a bottle of wine...guess we are not the only ones that are tempted

from tech support screwing around. I now have a new one, and no, I will never work on platform again or have anyone be on my computer through a meeting. If it's not FTP work using Word, no way will I let a company mess around.

You will see my last dictator dictating from a chopper with at least 10 choppers around him, landing in the middle of a Rolling Stones concert notifying the fans that Mick is sick and won't be there

just don't know how better to describe this background noise that is obviously distracting to him...oh, please add, oops change that...uhh, hmm where was I

I have a migraine now and I don't even know what one feels like

and from the looks of my que, I'm going in for round 2

Nebraska last July. (We actually lived in Gresham.) I really miss Oregon so much! I worked at Kaiser and loved it there.

I thought the program at Mt. Hood Community College was really great. It really prepared a new MT.

:) Are you from the Portland area? If you went to the AAMT convention last May I was there! My first convention. It was fun.
