to the small percentage of people that have decided to try to take CHRIST out of Christmas. Gimme a break. I got an e-mail from a friend who recommends that everyone who believes it should be CHRISTMAS, not "happy holidays" or "holiday tree" etc. to send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS card and tell them to leave our holidays alone. Their address is: 125 Broad Street, 18th Floor New York, NY 10004
If people who want to celebrate CHRISTMAS flood them with cards then they'll have to open them - after all, they want to see if there are donations in them, correct? Let them spend some employee time opening cards! Also I wonder if the ACLU employees are required to work on Christmas? How about New Year's? After all - I'm sure that with every federally recognized holiday that someone out there is *offended" and therefore the ACLU should never be closed right???
For anyone who reads this and is offended by CHRISTMAS - I supposed you're volunteering to work on December 25th so that those who do celebrate it can take off correct? I get tired of people stating they don't think we should celebrate CHRISTMAS but yet they're often times the first people to request to be off on December 25th. Double standard!
I'll get off my soapbox now and get the fingers moving again!

Hey, thanks. We already help out with catering, so I have some idea of the business, SM
plus I watch the Food Network all the time. LOL
As for tastes, I don't eat seafood or pork myself. I love chocolate. I am a good baker.
No, I'm not Sheri.......but........
You asked this on a public forum. Do you honestly not expect any kind of response from others? Are you so single-minded that you actually believe that? Gimme a break.
You may choose to celebrate or not celebrate Christmas Day as most living humans do. That is certainly your choice. No one told you NOT to. So, why in the world would you post something like this, in this period of goodwill toward our fellow man, here?
Why must there always be someone who wants to start a conflict? Can we at least call a truce for Christmas, for Pete's sake? (And, yes, I know Pete and he has given me permission to use his name involving "sake"!)
Sheeesh.......
Thank you, Sheri.
There is so much subterfuge and backstabbing with some of our jobs these days, that it is rare and refreshing to have someone come and explain their views in a professional and thoughtful manner. You are right, I guess it is inevitable that offshoring is here to stay...it just makes me feel really sad when I see what has happened to our industry. We never did really receive the recognition that we deserve for the complexity of our profession and now, any faint remainder of dignity is completely gone. I am just downhearted about the whole state of affairs. Where does one go after wasting 30 years of one's life in a dead-end job? I'm tired of fighting for the respect that never did materialize after all....
Thanks Sheri for your good
old-fashioned values. We need more of the same. Hooray.
Question for Sheri (only)
I am only interested in her response, since she is the moderator, and it is her response that will decide what I do next.
If I respect anyone who celebrates December 25th as a religious holiday, will I receive the same courtesy in return (to not celebrate it as a religious holiday)?
I haven't celebrated December 25th as a religious holiday since I was a kid. I don't see it that way. I've also used the "Xmas" spelling since my early 20s, along with the spelling of G*d, and "JC."
Will I be allowed to post my messages with these spellings, or can I expect them to be blasted (like last year) or deleted?
Like I said ... I'm not denying anyone the right to believe as they do. I'm only asking the same courtesy in return.
Sheri from MT stars
Sheri, I just wanted to let you know that I have not received an e-mail giving me a chance to draw from the gift bag. I made a donation using paypal on December 2nd and have not heard anything. I do have the reference number for verification.
I'm with you 100%, Sheri, and am very proud of your
/
Why are you speaking for Sheri?
Who made you team leader of the hijack news? This gets more strange by the minute. I feel like I'm watching an episode of LOST.....cause I'm LOST!!!!
Paid, thanks to MT Stars and Sheri
I had an issue with an MTSO who had ads on this board. I contacted Sheri (board owner), who made haste in getting in touch with the MTSO. As a result, I was paid today.
Many thanks to Sheri and MT Stars for your support, concern and willingness to get involved!!!!!!
Thankful MT!!!!!!!!
WAY TO GO, SHERI STEADMAN!! I just now saw your post
a
Merry Christmas, Sheri!
I'm tired of all the anti-Christian sentiment in this country too.
Is there a reason you answered for Sheri
I think *that* shows a lack of respect for someone. I also said Sheri ONLY was to answer the question (because she is the administrator of the board).
And in terms of "when in Rome do like the Romans do ..." Just call Rosa Parks.
Hurrah for you, Sheri. I agree!!!!
:)
Sheri, can you at least file a claim
for the automatic $100 of insurance UPS has? I know it won't help immediately, but perhaps you can recover something.
Sheri...does that mean that the job seeker's board will have sm...
companies posting jobs that off-shore transcription? I am trying to find an office that does not off shore due to the difficulty of the reports left over for the US MT, so I need to be careful if that is the case. Thank you!
I think that's a very fair compromise, Sheri. nm

I got the cool T-shirt! Thank you, Sheri. It was a pleasure to participate. SM
I commend you on making the world a better place!
how do you know for certain that Sheri is not an honest person? and Dr. Ahmed is from Pakistan, the
or is there any owner here. No one answers any of my questions. I have been posting all day.
I am assuming you are talking about Sheri. What answers of hers are not lining up?
What info do you have that I do not or others? Never heard of you either, American regular MTstarser??? Strange posted by if you ask me.
I disagree. I think the site was sold to Sheri and she was screwd
deleted because the new guy doesn't want people to think maybe she's right and he isn't. I still think if Sheri put her phone number on her site then maybe she's telling the truth.
I've read the statement; think sheri sat on this and lost it for both of them out of spite
matches her personality.
