called BeautiControl...talk about expensive!! On the other hand, I love Pampered Chef and most of their products, but can't stand some of the pushy consultants who think you just "need to have a party!" I understand that they make a living doing what they do, but give me a break!

Mary Kay all the way
Hi. I have used (and sold) Mary Kay since my early 20's. (I am now in my 40s) I have strayed from the path to other brands twice, and my face did not like them. So, I always always come back to Mary Kay. The newest and greatest is our microderm abrasion set! I SWEAR I HAVE NEW SKIN
Mary Kay
Skin care is so important....especially after 30!!! I love Mary Kay's Time Wise Cleanser and Moisturizer and the Microdermabrasion is unlike any other on the market!! I wouldn't want to be without it - EVER!! It's a staple in my budget! I highly recommend it for every skin type!! It's GREAT! Lisa
Mary Kay
I don't know where you get your information, but Mary Kay DOES NOT test products on animals!

Way to go Mary! Yum yum......
Mary.....(sm)
I have the exact same problem as you right now. Because of it, I am not having any success with installing the latest version of McAfee. It's actually stopping me from putting the anti-virus software on my computer. I was just wondering if you were able to solve your problem? I have no idea how to get rid of it?!!
Anyone know where Mary Patterson (of YOG)

Mary Kay is the bestest!
I've used it since I was an early teen (Mother sold it). She started me young because my older sister had horrible acne (it worked miracles on her). In my entire life I've had MAYBE 5 pimples :)
I'm 50 now, and looked way younger than my years ... until I went through treatment, which aged me, but I still look pretty good for a 50 year old.
I also tried a couple of other skin cares (VERY temporarily). My face itched, turned red, etc. I came straight back to MK, and won't stray again.
Congrats Mary! :-) nm

Au Contraire, Mary...
I've SEEN voice recognition, through Escription, at its finest. It is most definitely not a fantasy on the other poster's part. The technology is amazing but, yes, it does continue to require human overseers for minor cleanup even when working at its best. These dictators were so good, even Escription could detect the subtle differences in, for example, Xanax and Zantac and various other sound-alike drugs.
The blessing and the curse of the technology is, it can only be as good as the humans dictating. We've all seen the deterioration in the quality of dictators, particularly over the past 3-5 years. While most of us tend to complain about sloppy dictators, indecisive 'transcriptionist, go back up' throughout the entire report, ESLs, etc., those are the MTs saving grace. With those types of dictators, the technology will never be able to fully render us obsolete.
In a perfect world with near-perfect dictators and the ability to edit their own work, I sadly predict we would all be looking for a new career within 5 years.
The technology is there and, in the right scenario, it's frighteningly accurate. Luckily, the all-too-human dictators are holding it back from rendering us obsolete.
Au Contraire, Mary...
With all due respect for your opinion, I must disagree. I've seen voice recognition, through Escription, at its finest, at optimal utilization. It is most definitely not a fantasy on the other poster's part. The technology is amazing but, yes, it does continue to require human overseers for minor cleanup even when working at its best. These dictators were so good, even Escription could detect the subtle differences in, for example, Xanax and Zantac and various other sound-alike drugs.

There you go again,Mary, answering
tsk, tsk, tsk...
Right, Mary...Keep telling yourself that
.
Who are you calling mary?
I AM NOT MARY! There you go again, thinking you are so darn smart. Well, you got the wrong person this time.
Exactly. That's how Mary Kay hooks women-SM
by showering them with positive attention, atta girl, you go girl. It is unnecessary and we are not dogs.
Maybe you remember as Nannay Mary on

i agree with Mary Kay prod's
i started using them because i complimented several georgeous-skinned older women and every one of them used Mary Kay. I was a consultant for 10 years, and still use the products. My mom uses Oil of Olay. Maybe its as good, but i am a believer in Mary Kay.
p.s. men typically poo-poo such notions -- nature of the beast i guess. This is very personal, its YOUR skin, so YOU should make the decision with no guilt!
I cannot use Mary Kay because they test on animals - sm
But I do use Estee Lauder and Oil of Olay. I consulted three dermatologists on getting Botox and they all said no way for me because I have no WRINKLES around my eyes or forehead ... at 39 years of age!
Have you had the frozen Mary B's biscuits?

Mary Morkin's list
Check out http://www.mtdaily.com/abbvs.txt I got Mary Morken's list from there. I believe there are 13,000 of them listed.
Also see http://www.mtdaily.com?mt1/abbv2.html That should give you even more links.
I'm referring to a printout I did in 2005 so I hope these are still good sites. I incorporated the lists into my own. Some abbreviations I like, some I don't and have changed once I developed my own system, but this will give you an idea just what you can do. But do get the book so you will know how to THINK in short form and come up with your own system. It took me a while to see how my brain worked and I've made modifications but boy do I depend on them to produce!
I'm sure Mary is real; why the exclamation?
nm
No, I was agreeing that Mary's arrogant.
;)
Mary Patterson is with Futurenet in Monrovia, CA.
nm
wow, hard to believe that Mary Kay products would cause allergies - sm
when they test on animals!!!! They have voiced to the public that they WILL NOT stop testing on animals.
And before anyone jumps down my throat, I am being sarcastic about my subject line. The point I'm trying to make is that Mary Kay tests ALL OF THEIR products NEW AND OLD on animals. Part of their reason was to "prevent allergies in humans" .... rrrrriiiiggghhttt
And you're miss Mary Sunshine, right?
nm
Wow, Mary. I live in BG too. Congrats. I'm jealous!
no msg
Mary Kay recieved awards for NOT testing!
See the link below to see that they do not. It is directly from PETA.

Mary, don't feel like you need to defend yourself or your questions...
Some people are just plain rude and maybe need a second job to occupy their time instead of lurking on this board waiting to make a nasty comment.
I was surprised when I first saw that too.
Mary Morken expander system
I need to make at least $150 a day every day. Where can I find a Mary Morken's method?
Thanks
Answer for Mary and Comment for Cranky
Mary, I have never worked for Transcend so I don't know much about the company except what I see here and by looking at their web site. It looks as though they offshore, never a good sign as it usually means low pay at the very least. If you don't have a problem with offshoring, and you should, then think about giving it a try. If India is in there, you probably won't be treated very well. I have been told it is a "cultural thing." Whatever.
Cranky Beach, I worked for a wonderful company (never though I'd leave) that was acquired by Acusis, a company with major offshoring. It was the same situation as you, they told us everything would stay the same, nothing would change. They were just biding their time . . . and after a while they started throwing all management from the old company under the bus. Then it was change after change after change, none for the better, mostly to transition to running things "the India way" and eventually ended up cutting everyone's pay. Soooo glad to be out of there.

She's right! The Mary Kay lip care is the ONLY MK stuff i use, works GREAT. nm

I use the same - Love oil of Olay! Mary Kay breaks my face out. nm

Mary Kay and Estee Lauder don't test, but Oil of Olay does.

Mary Morken's 2007 list of abbreviations SM
You can import Mary's list, or just copy it onto a CD or a little flash drive, I think it might be too big to print it out. Looking it over will give you a good idea of how to go about adding to your own list as well. There are 600+ dictators on the account I work on, so keeping whole reports doesn't work too well for me, and I have tried to make shortcuts for phrases instead. Also for capitalizing drug names that need it, and for correcting my most common errors. Happy New Year! Wise
Absolute truth, I had problems like this until trying the Mary Kay Satin Lips. sm
There are 3 parts, a balm, mask and triple-action enhancer. I used it twice a day for less than a week and the chapped lips are gone. It really does work and is worth it.

Don't mind candles, Pampered Chef, or Tastefully Simple. HATE Mary Kay parties! nm

LOL I did something similar.
I used a desktop timeclock and stopped it every time I got interrupted or distracted. I'm very productive when I get up first thing in the morning and type before everyone else gets up. I've also learned to shut the computer down completely when I'm done working for the day and go do something else entirely. Unfortunately, I've been sitting here waiting for work for three days now.
Does anyone know of something similar
I cannot get my foot pedal to work with this program.
I think the 2 are actually very similar -sm-
...at least that is what I've heard. I, too, use WP. It looks like most nationals and online companies use Word. My current supervisor mentioned to me recently that the two platforms were very much alike - maybe try setting the tabs to specific points just like we do now in WP and see if that works? At least until someone who does work with Word posts... lol
Wish I could be more help.
Another one similar
Used to work at a hospital where you had to manually input the patient's names. The doctor said the name, it was extremely foreign and sounded like it had about 20 syllables and then without missing a beat he said "and it's spelled just like it sounds." I groaned out loud and then the doc said laughed and said "oh, just kidding you know!" and he then spelled it very clearly. It made me feel like this doctor actually realized there was a human on the other end of the line.....better than the doctor at the same hospital that used to dictate while shaving his beard with an electric razor!! Using the urinal while dictating or flushing is my other favorite.
Yes, it is similar sm
IT has your ST converted expansions on the left (if you set it that way) and what would be the list you see at the bottom of your ST in Word on the right. Unlike ST, the line does not travel, however.
If you have both programs and want to learn more about IT, feel free to contact me. I have about enough mastery to help convert an ST glossary to IT and I have set my IT about as close to ST as I can. I have not had the time to completely figure out the "singles" glossary needed to run concurrently so I can use single letter shortcuts, but I have been told how to do this.
If you are an ST user no other program will ever be quite as fast for you, but IT is the closest I have found. I am not that much slower and I have been playing with IT for a whole week...
I would tell you not to worry too much about converting over truly. I am adding lots more expansions that are similar to the singles and/or the just start typing see it in the line and use it stuff. I use 2 x 3, 3 x 2, 2 x 2 and 1 + 1 + 1 codes with extra tags for s, ing, ed, ly ending etc. The good news is that with 26 letters in the alphabet and an astronomical number of possible combinations, I don't think it likely I will run out of possibilities. Also, ST limits the length of your expansions, IT does not. Given that you can add full strings of text, full sentences, etc. the speed has the potential to come up dramatically. I would not use IT to make and use normals, I prefer to create Word or WordPerfect documents, I know you could use it for this purpose too.
As I have said, it is really all about the glossary. However, I'd prefer the way ST operates.
Oh so similar! sm
Different kind of work but the similarities are striking. When I did speak up, I was basically told I should think about taking a hike. In my case, something wonderful has come along that is taking me in a different direction. I will continue to do this work either full or part time in addition to that but with an employer that I know and trust.
I don't know the answer except find a good, fair boss/company or pray for something to come into your life to change things up. It is very sad for the good ones of us. I guess you could job hop and be the newbie all the time and get the good work.  Just kidding (sort of).
I just went through something similar- sm
the lady doing an old account of mine just disappeared one day, so I got to clean up the mess she left, just finished it up last night finally, had about 200 minute to wade through on top of my usual work. I compared voice files to the work she had turned in to figure out what dates she had done what work. They should have provided you with her last couple of weeks of work so you could have avoided the duplication. Hard to say what to do, I would not be happy about eating it but it is probably the thing to do, but make it clear to them that if they give you any more work in the future that ends up being duplicates that you will have to charge them. If they want to avoid that they should provide her previous month's work to you so you can check it to make sure there are no duplicates.
I have done something similar
I had read that when trying to concentrate on a task/project, that you can get more done with 90 minutes of undisturbed effort and a short break.
It always takes me a good 15 minutes to get into my zone where I am at my fastest. If I keep interrupting myself then I never get there and the line count suffers.
To the posters who can't do the 410 (neither can I!), still over time the rate will get faster and faster.
Thanks for posting this simple but effective idea to edge up our $-per-hour just a little bit. It all helps!
Saw something similar last week (sm)
but it was a dog in one of those umbrella strollers. Seemed quite content actually. I gathered from the graying muzzle that walking probably would have worn her out before they got around the corner.
