Goldbird Moderator maybe you can help (sm)
I've emailed the administrator twice now and received no response (even gave her a few of the passwords that I know I've used on the internet).  I used to go into chat once in a while to see if anyone was there, but in the past few months I haven't been able to. I tried every password I know I've used and even tried to re-add myself, but it says I'm already in the system (I know that because I used to be able to get into chat). I've asked to have the password sent to me but it's never showed up. How can I get my password sent to me again? 
no this is eeeekkkkkk let me stir up some trouble. hehehe.
trust me. CEO just called me to see what i thought about the sale. i approved and it's a done deal.
Sorry, you are wrong and just trying to stir up trouble. Shoooo!!! nm

Emdat Start/Stop pedal trouble, Help!
I can't get my start/stop pedal to work right with Emdat. Anyone else have trouble getting their pedal to work right? It plays a little and then keeps starting over and quits. Help!
I think you wanted to stir the pot
You wouldn't be celebrating the "holiday" if it weren't for the birth of Christ, why celebrate at all if you want to leave the "religion" out of it since that is the reason for the holiday. I think that you wanted to "stir" things up otherwise you would just be observing quietly and not making a fuss about what your bliefs are or are not.
Thank you Goldbird
Appreciate you keeping the board for what is was meant to be, a general topic board.
To Goldbird.............sm
we were joking around about Bush being offshored......you chose to remove the posts....what about Sheri's Steadmans main post above all the posts about Embracing Offshoring? I respect both you and Sheri but is this hypocritical? I'm not looking to start a nasty war...it just seemed okay to post the jokes about offshoring Bush since I saw Ms. Steadman's top post about we should embrace offshoring (no way I'm embracing this as thousands of Americans continue to lose their jobs in ALL fields).
Thanks for taking the time.....
FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR:
I never said I "embraced" offshoring. That was someone else's words and I addressed this in my Sticky post at the top of this forum. I still do not agree with it, but I also see the reality that it's not going away. I see no reason to continue a pointless battle. As I said before, when all 3 of our credit bureaus are outsourcing our private financial information offshore then what difference does it really make regarding health information? Again, I fought the good fight, even getting a bill passed in my state, but alas the legal eagles got in the way and the bill was squashed before it could become a law. Since then, I continued fighting the onslaught of offshoring, but when I saw my own credit being able to be pulled up on computers overseas, that was when I realized that it was fruitless to continue pursuit.
If you have a joke to share, post it on the Comedy board. If you have a political point of view to share, post it on the Politics board. That's what they're there for. The Main board is not the proper place and these types of posts will be removed for no reason other than they belong on the appropriate forum.
Thanks, Goldbird!!! nm
Thanks Goldbird! Yes, Blu ... sm
Again, yes Blu, the owner absorbs the cost and does the QA at their expense. Why? In order to teach and provide for the company trained, qualified transcriptionists who just may turn out to be grateful and wonderful employees. Employees with the ability to be promoted to team leaders, employees who get the raises and bennies that they deserve. I truly understand why you are doubtful and sound suspicious, however, I truly want to both provide an excellent working environment as well as to make a profit. I don't believe that those are entirely opposing ideas, just unusual in a time when most CEO's (like those of a major oil company!) take all they can and give back very little. So, I'm an idealist, so what? I just want an opportunity to try and provide a positive working environment as well as to make money. So, all of you who kindly have responded and to those of you who are thinking of doing so, please tell me what benefits and working conditions your dream job would incoporate. Like I said earlier, maybe I can't provide all of them but even a few would be nice!
Goldbird
Not that I agree with this poster, because I think he/she is trying to stir things up; however, what he/she meant was the inside of the message. The OP started her message with a little "angry" face. Her post wasn't about the "flame" on the outside of the message. Hope that clears things up. 
Exactly! Well-put Goldbird. SM
And I've learned to ignore the ignorant and jealous - those who make such comments - it's a great feeling!
Congratulations on your CMT (to the original poster)! I'm hoping to take the exam within the next year or so.
You mean Goldbird?
I agree!
Is Goldbird and Busy MT one and the same?

Why does this happen so often?

Although I don't post questions or responses very often, it gets really frustrating and it seems at least every other time I try to post something this happens. What causes it and how can it be stopped?
not out to stir the pot or gain brownie points
Okay, I'll tell. I work for an MTSO that is known for its standard of hiring only the best of the best MTs. The only feedback I get is for the exceptionally good work I do and the raises it earns.
I just think the OP is conflicted...trying to "set" us all straight while s/he studies to move out of this profession and still projects that the rest of us should care about it - as if anyone who has been in this business has not kept up with the changes; where it used to be, where it is now and where it is heading.
I do my part through the work I produce. My work ethic would hold true whether I produce reports or greet people at Wal-Mart. I have nothing to prove or need the attention as it seems the OP does.
Again, this is a waste of bandwidth.
I think you got your wish - message from Goldbird- posts deleted
and I think that the only thing that is not allowed is offshore companies soliciting on the boards, I am pretty sure that there are offshore transcriptionists on here. They can certainly lurk, but I think there is some posting, too.
Spheris can't AFFORD MQ. I doubt it is TRUE and someone is bored and trying to stir
Good job.

Posts are up for grabs. Private message is not. You would only post publicly to what, stir SM
something up? If you had an honest question, the proper thing to do would have been to ask the question privately. Otherwise, you look like you are trying to rile people up when you already know how everybody feels.

You really should NOT participate in a forum:

eewww!!
My parents are retired and
do very well on their savings. It's called preparation. People make their own choices. If you don't PREPARE and do not take RESPONSIBILITY, you will eventually be in such a sad situation. It's not anyone's fault but their own for making poor decisions or failing to make better ones.
Morally, yes - I think other aid should become available to the "mom and pop" situation you are talking about but not reporting and paying taxes on income? No. That is wrong, period.
My boys were taught to pay taxes on their incomes from various jobs. They paid taxes and they paid tithes on it, no matter what it was.
It's called DOING THE RIGHT THING...which seems to be a forgotten concept among the older ones and a brand-spanking new concept among the young ones.
Tax evasion, dear, is ANYONE who fails to report appropriately. They may spend the bulk of money going after big bucks tax evaders but the crime is still the same. It is dishonest and it cheats every loyal, law-abiding citizen.
It doesn't matter if the job is easy or or not (i.e., your reference to house cleaning not being easy). THat has nothing to do with whether a person deserves to report/pay taxes on their income or not.
My mom is a retired teacher, so that was something
we never said at home. But as much as I have tried to correct my youngest, he still uses it. And he and my husband say, That DON'T matter. Yikes. doesn't doesn't doesn't. It DOESN'T matter!
You know, when you type doesn't that many times, it no longer looks like a real word. I double checked the spelling and I'm still not sure it's right.
I had someone tell me they wanted to do this when they retired sm
I said, then start your training NOW you don't have a minute to waste. She said she was retiring in 2 yrs. I said, good you almost have to get trained. She asked me about what she might make money wise. I said about $4 an hour for the first 6 months to a year. Screw that, she said, I thought you just sat and typed...
I love the tape in the purse idea! That IS priceless. My kids can tell you...mom works at home, all we see is the back of her head and all she says all day is "BE QUIET." Their friends used to say, yeah but your mom is home. They would say that her body might be here, but her mind isn't. All the lights are on, but there ain't nobody home! Exactly.
How old is your husband and is he retired
You saying on AARP- is this to supplement Medicare or just regular insurance? A family member has this coverage with her Medicare but I had no idea they had such strong regulations.
Right, retired in 2006...sm
Due to medical problems, and I am certainly not up on the latest technology or who is getting what type of work. When I retired, V/R was just becoming widespread and I never was involved in it. I just loved the ESLs, but maybe they have gotten worse/more careless/truly don't GAS. My sister had one that I could hardly understand either.
Retired Devoted Transcriptionists
Good for that lady, it is possible to work that long and work well. She is in Heaven with the saints. I am retired but not "dead." I would love to transcribe part-time but when they see the dates in my work history, for some reason they treat me like I am already dead. I have so much to offer. I was self-employed for a long time and did very well in my business from tapes. If someone would give me a break and let me practice doing it over the "Net", I would do it for free until I got it down pat if I had to. I can't think of a better way to spend my retirement years than to keep on working part-time. Now in my retirement, I would love to work from home part-time over the Internet. I am HIPAA aware and abide by all the rules. I love transcription, have the speed and knowledge to do many accounts, even acute care, etc. However, when I apply, I cannot describe to you in adequate terms how I am treated when I show interest in a part-time job in my profession. I have so very much experience, strength and love for my profession that it is like a fire in my belly. However, no one seems to want to accommodate someone who only wants to work part-time and they look at me as though I'm nuts to want to work at my age (60's). Their loss. Is there anyone else out there who feels the same way? Are we all just from the days of yore and useless? I am a a perfectionist at everything I do. I had to give up my self-employment for personal reasons and have been on a few interviews in which I was treated badly. I sure do feel like I've been "dumped" by the very profession I threw my heart and soul into, maintaining my CMT, etc., until several years ago, only to be trash heaped. Sorry, just venting. I would just like to know if there are other people of retirement age in the same boat. I have a young mind, a great attitude, and a youthful outlook. I won't lie about my age and I won't lie about how I feel. Abandoned.

my dad retired at age 66, but I do not remember the year.--sm
he passed on when he was 72, which was six years ago. He definately had restrictions.
No, she got tired of working and retired before

Ella, you have retired, so this is for the working MTs
I fully understand the theme here. If you want to hobnob with Indians or other ethnic groups, fine. To sit here and be swamped with people who cannot speak English and we have to be letter perfect on everything, no wonder we have these feelings. Go back to knitting now, ok?
At one time, I was an MTSO, but sold & retired from
MT last year. I do, however, still own, operate, and offer MTStars to American MTs.
Dont know when he retired but there is absolutely without a doubt no
restrictions put on after full retirement age. Perhaps you thought he had full and did not have- have spoken to 2 people from social security about this- learned most recently as of 1/2008. How old was your father when he retired and what year, if you know, was that?
Retired fire captain. His pension is doing it's thing for us, thank God! nm

Retired or retarded? Anyone can retire if they set their life standards low enough
BUt if you think sitting on the couch pointing fingers at how bad the government is constitutes a wonderful successful life, good for you!
I'm not the one complaining about how bad things are, YOU are!
By the way, precious. I don't have to work, I want to, and am no longer an MT because I've gotten an education and moved on to a productive life with goals that stretch beyond the living room and the computer room.
Get over yourself. No one is impressed because your life certainly does not sound impressive in the least.
I once watched a retired FBI profiler who studied the case SM
and found evidence of a break-in from the basement window. He took pictures, explained his theory, showed how somewhat could have broken in, hid under a bed. He theorized that the intent was not to kill her, but to rape her. Probably someone who was the house that night. I forgot the profiler's name, but it was an interesting show. Very sad, sad case.
A contact of mine worked for them for 6 years w/o probs, FT. She retired from them, too. nm

that reminds me of a doctor who had his own very unique word for period...he called it a "perikat". All through the report...Perikat... perikat.... LOL
One time I typed "Tp and his wife are retired and travel in their rectovaginal." Caught it tho

Thank you Moderator. sm
I find it unbelievable that people are posting account names. What happened to the confidentiality agreements they signed with their companies? Bizarre.
thank you, moderator
:)
can the moderator tell me
where it went? Thanks !
Thanks moderator!!! I appreciate you!
Thank you, Moderator
Thank you for allowing the prayer request board on the Gab Board.
Hey Moderator
I won a scavenger hunt. Forgot to put in there that I live in Florida. Thanks again.
you really should take that up with the moderator. obviously
plenty here have no problem with this board.
Thank you, Moderator!
I certainly would not want to offend anyone, and I appreciate your taking the time to let me know how you feel about this.
By the way, I am very impressed with the job you are doing keeping the board on track and moving it in the right direction. It is like a breath of fresh air!
If at any time you do receive complaints about my avatar, please feel free to contact me and I will do whatever you wish.
Best regards,
Running on MT
