Tom Cruise has always been manic. He has always been what he is, you just haven't noticed it.

He was always cute and now he looks haggard and it seems like he is trying to recapture his youth with Katie Holmes. Whatever. He did make some really good movies and I think he is extremely talented but no heart throb.

I never noticed he was manic
I always liked him and thought he was cute. Now he kind of turns me off, though. Still want to see War of the Worlds, however. I always thought he had the nicest smile.
I haven't had any excitement since my last husband sent me on a cruise...
thru the Bermuda Triangle. There's something missing from my life but what, what, what could it be? I have everything a woman could want - a beautiful home, financial security - and I have two, two, two mints in one. But I don't know, somehow something is still missing...
I haven't ever noticed anything like that.
Did they make sure you had the latest version with all the bugs worked out? The only technical problem I ever had was at one point it stopped letting me edit my entry when I copied and pasted a block of text, I would have to save it and go back into it, but I rebooted my system and it worked fine after that. Do you have a way to save your glossaries and maybe uninstall/reinstall the program itself to see if that changes anything?
This is a bulletin board, if you haven't noticed. sm
People are firing off posts, not double-checking because that is the nature of a bulletin board.
I think your attitude is more of a negative reflection on you than this MT's error is a negative reflection on her.
I haven't noticed a change in reactions
I don't think the general public knows of the woes of our profession. Some computer literate do realize that voice recognition is becoming more advanced and I will occasionally have someone ask me if that threatens my job. Most have gone to a doc and had the ESL "experience" so they know that a machine will never be able to do it all. Then of course there are those who hear I work at home and automatically think that sounds good and want to pull up a chair and start the job immediately. LOL.
I haven't noticed emails being posted
I know someone can email you, but I don't think it is listed so that they can see? I don't quite understand your post either. You are trying to dig up information on your neighbors on this site? My brain must be tired today, because I don't get it.
I haven't noticed it being slow. no problems here. nm

manic
She is early 20's and has been diagnosed as bipolar manic depressive. She has been hospitalized in the past as well. I certainly would not have said she had this problem if she had not been diagnosed. I do appreciate you having dealt with this in the past as well - as I noted I too had very close family members with this problem. I appreciate your comments and understand that advice probably will not be forthcoming, just more comments etc. thanks anyway, but comments run rampid regardng this concern already here, which is why I reached out for advice and suggestions.
Again I thank you for your observations.
Dx Manic Depression
My best friend of the past 16 years is manic depressive. She comes from a family who many have either manic depression or bipolar disorder. She is a great person and a truly wonderful friend. Her depression is part of her. At times it can be hard, but not for me... for her. Being there for a friend when they need it is all they you need to do. Regardless of anything. Be supportive. Be all of the things you would be with ANY friend that you have. This is no different.
manic depression
I could use some advise. I have much experience with manic depression - my mother was excessively depressed, etc. My problme is that my fiance has an adult daughter who is also a manic depressant, who is also extremely hypochondriac - she has had as she states - cancer, ovairan cysts, endometriosis, migraines, shoulder rotator cuff tears - you name it she has had it - however when we runn all over to multplie doctors - she goes to several - and they run tests, er visits etc, and noone finds anything, she gets manic and really goes off. She does use multiple medications, pain and otherwise - and I belive she is addicted to the pain meds. We now have her going to our family doctor, and she has signed papers for us to have disclosure to information and again - nothing is ever found. Because they are doctors - when she complains, of course they have to run tests, but this is getting costly - the insurance companies do now want to pay - and it is now depressing my fiance, he does not know what to do. I have been able to handle her and show her ina round about way that I am aware of what she is doing, so she becomes a bit more honest with me, but not to herself or others. Now she will not talk to me. That is okay - as a MD I know she will come around soon. My questions is - how do we get her to a psychiatrist that will get through to her and help her. She goes to one only rarely and she is not honest with him either. I believe that she has much more than manic depression and want to get her help. I need some serious suggestions. Has anyone gone through this and gotten the help they need.
manic depression
Does she see a psychologist? This would really help her in helping her accept her disease. Are all the other diseases an excuse to be able to say that she isn't manic depressive. Also she sounds a little manipulative. How old is she. Also there are support groups such as NAMI that help people with mental illness
Manic Depression. sm
I have had experience with a family member with bipolar disorder, also. Unfortunately, it's probably one of the most difficult situations I personally have ever experienced. So, let me say first off, good luck to you. (And I mean that in a very sincere way.)
If she is taking pain meds regularly along with her bipolar meds, the bipolar meds don't stand a chance. It's just like drinking alcohol habitually while taking them. No way can they be effective.
You asked for help and I wish I could tell you exactly what to do. I can't. I will say, however, to get her off of the other meds and do it now. She needs serious counseling, not what a psychiatrist provides, but a psychologist or simple counselor. The psychiatrists we saw simply wrote the scripts, made a few suggestions, and stuck out a bill. In-depth professional counseling will do her a world of good.....and this is, once again, only if she's off those other meds.
I do wish you the best of luck. Keep your patience; you're going to need it. Let us know how it goes, okay?
I'm going to be manic-depressive if I
soon don't get some work! LOL
I'm wondering how you came to the conclusion that she has manic depression. Was she diagnosed
with this? From what I read, it doesn't sound like manic depression to me. Sure, she has some issues going on there, major depression would be a pretty good guess, but does she have any manic episodes?
My ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law were both bipolar which is the new and improved way to say manic depressive and they were the exact opposite of hypochondria. During the manic phase, they felt like they ruled the world. According to them, they had never felt better, thought more clearly, or got more done, but the exact opposite was true. They never slept. They never finished anything they started. They were incoherent at times, basically jumping from one subject to the next so you could not carry on any kind of coherent conversation with them. Sometimes they were even delusional - my mother-in-law thought she was in love with a televangelist and divorced her husband and moved to be closer to the televangelist. My ex-husband thought he was the victim racism when he got a speeding ticket. He claimed the officer had something against Hispanics. Nevermind that my husband was maybe one-eight Mexican on his mother's side and has a German last name.
Those are just a couple of examples of manic behavior. It can even be more bizarre. I could write a book based on what I've seen first hand and it can be very scary.
Cruise - Especially if you don't have to fly to get to one.
Best value for the money out there.
cruise
I wish. I have a radiology account and three separate doctors who have been with me for five years.... Have taken one vacation and left on Friday and came back on Sunday..... Everyone wants they work back the same day. I have these people spoiled rotten...... and it is all my fault too...
cruise
Thanks for the info on the $$$$$....I guess I will have to get busy training someone local to help me for that one week...
Now Tom Cruise also...
I can't stand HIM!!! Freaky...but now Matthew, that's a different story. He's *dreamy* 
I second the Tom Cruise boycott.
Didn't know about Johnny Depp, but he's way better looking than Cruise.
It's an OPINION Cruise has.
He is entitled to an OPINION isn't he? Just as you THINK you "survived" PPD. Think of the damage people on drugs who have PPD have done, like the mother who drowned her five kids. She was on drugs.
cruise and work
Has anyone ever taken a cruise and worked off of a laptop while doing so? We have just been given the opportunity to go on a cruise, but I have not had much luck with finding someone to help me out for such a short period of time, so I was wondering if anyone else has worked while on the cruise? Is there access to e-mail on these ships?
Tom Cruise gets squirted!

Cruise information - SM
Would appreciate any feedback on which cruise and/or cruise line you have experienced and if you recommend them. Would like to stay away from Disney, as it will be just hubby and I. All the websites are so full of "perfection" I would like to hear "real comments." TIA for any input everyone. 
I think Tom Cruise is a total whacko- sm
I actually thought it years ago but then he was kind of reclusive and didn't speak out so much. Now that he's opened his mouth again and by his actions, he is showing his stupidity. If you saw him on the Today show with Matt Lauer and the things he said, he was unbelievably pompous and arrogant about things he obviously knows nothing about. Why do these "stars" think we want to hear what their opinions are? Who cares? All they are are paid ACTORS. Tom Cruise only has a high school education and he acts like he is the most brilliant person in the world. Look at Nicole Kidman - she got out while she could. I pity Katie Holmes.
I am a PPD survivor and boycott Cruise nm
x
Tell that to the cruise ship industry.
dd
Tom Cruise?!? Ick! I only liked him when I was in high school.
Apparently that is still the trend! How old is Katie????? LOL!
YOU CAN EVEN CRUISE/TAKE ROAD TRIP
I'm leaving again next week on a cruise, and can take the work with me. As an MTSO, I don't have to transcribe, but could if I needed; just download via ship internet to laptop and type offline, then send back. I use to move files, answer emails, and JUST IN CASE, have the ability to transcribe should the world fall apart while I'm gone! Also, if you get an AIRCARD, you CAN download/send files while traveling where phone signal is available. Life is good with flexibility!!!
I refuse to validate the idiot Cruise
or to enrich him with one penny of my hard-earned money. I will not be seeing his movie or any other project in which he is involved. I feel the same way about Johnny Depp since the horrible, hateful statements he has made about America and Americans. They are free to speak their minds, but I am also free to choose not to reward their hatefulness.
This wasn't a thread about Cruise's opinion which
some of you think he doesn't have the right to have. I don't care HOW ridiculous it is, it is HIS opinion...just the same as we all have ours that he's nuts. LOL
Yes, I think he's really gone out there making the ridiculous claims he has...but, it is his right to think the way he does. Just as you have the right to think differently.
Doesn't change the fact that he is a fabulous actor and a box office sure bet.
I don't subscribe to his perspective on PPD or drug therapy or psychiatry at all. I'm sure he doesn't subscribe to my perspective on sitting at the computer all day to type out reports about other people just to make a few bucks.
Now, there are people in this world sadly enough who will not seek help because of what he said and for those people I am truly sad for. Those tend to be the same people who VOTE according to what their favorite celebrity says as well. LOL
I believe in complete autonomy so if these people must mess up their lives because they have the right to - then let them.
I won't boycott anyone because I differ in their opinion about treating problems. He's not a criminal; he's not a child molester; he's not a sexual offender; he's not a thief; he's not a tax evader; he's not .. he's not any of the things that I feel I SHOULD make a boycott about it.
The movie was fantastic. You're missing out but, hey, that's your right!! LOL
Enjoy your evening!
MSNBC said today cruise ships are on the way now SM
They said it takes a little bit of time to get there, but Coast Guard works closely with the cruise lines.
I found you the link of the cruise line...
Here's the latest I found of what they stated. Just seems to me like they are "buying time" so as not to use their ships for these "poor" people. They don't want to give up one of their 21 American owned ships for use, though, from what I have heard....While they work out the "legalities" people are continuing to die in MS and LA. What a darn shame.
Although I did hear on CNN that a GREEK cruise liner is on its way as we speak to help some refugees!
We'll see....

Could be the yellow hair but his eyes are puffy too, like Tom Cruise.
Bring back the old fun loving Brad and Tom.
We used to cruise the main drag, race on the old highway, and
stop at the burger joints to see where the parties were. The kids don't get to do that any more because the cops bust them for loitering, curfew, etc. In fact, that's the first thing DH and I noticed about each other was our cars while cruising the drag. He had a red AMC Javelin and I had a red Dodge Coronet.
Cruised Mediterrean in 60 passage cruise ship
South of France, great food, great wine, wonderful shopping, ancient ruins, Michaleangelo, so much more. Well worth 10 grand.
Any cruise! No phones, no email, no snail mail NM

Used to be Tom Cruise but he stopped being irresistable when he became a lunatic. Lost all respect!
That has already been brought up by the govt.They asked Carnival cruise lines sm
to bring a ship into port and allow some residents to board the ship. Carnival says they will "consider" it. Carnival is owned by a Florida company...I can try to find the link for you where I read this.
I am irritated because "they have to think about it." If I owned the ship I would be more than happy to let the homeless use it for a while - at least a month - until they can get on their feet - get insurance stuff together, etc.
Carnival is taking WAYYYY too much time "thinking" about it as people lay dying in the streets of New Orleans
We did the cruise to the Bahamas out of Cape Canaveral. I absolutely LOVED it sm
We went on Royal Carribean and they have their own little island with tiki bar, beach volleyball, snorkeling, etc., that you can go to for free once they dock in the Bahamas. That was the best part.
We want to go again. We also did a snorkeling trip that went right past Atlantis....It was gorgeous. Can't give you any info on the Atlantis, but I can the cruise.
Of course, if you've ever been on a cruise the best part is all the great food. We'd be eating our 4 course meal at dinner and our waiter would be announcing that at midnight there would be a pizza buffett on the upper deck! We were like, ugh! But, if we went dancing that night then we'd go for a bite to eat around 1 in the morning. I was so bad on that trip!
We also did the Bahamas/Carribean cruise and toured the Atlantis. If I had my choice..
The Atlantis is the most gorgeous resort/casino ever. Our kids loved the underground aquariums. The cruise was the best thing we ever did..We usually go to Florida every year and do the Universal Studios thing and then onto something else. After seeing the Atlantis, our cruise line offered a tour, we think next time we will just fly directly into the Bahamas and stay there..It is spendy to stay there but they do have specials so check out their website for those www.atlantis.com. Good luck
I noticed that..
If it was the one that started out at 5 cents. What terrible pay.
well I have noticed......sm
that 2 of them are being XTRA XTRA careful when dictating risks and benefits (the plasticsmen) of late......being more lengthy about the risks and benefits....looks like they are CVTA (covering their a**es*) *lol*
I just noticed something....SM
I entered 3 entries into the Shorthand and expanded them and noticed that my autocorrect works as well. I am able to use both of them together. Does anyone use both of these at the same time???
Has anyone noticed...
that the Job Seeker's Board is all lit up in yellow! It looks like its on fire! I wonder why...hmm...
I noticed that too
I ended up returning mine to the store. Love the layout of the keyboard, and all those features are great; they just need to work on getting a better touch to it. The MS natural was stiff too.
Have you noticed?
Have you noticed how they are down to 3 girls and 3 guys? Last year it came down to a guy/girl, year before that 2 girls, and the year before that 2 guys. I didn't watch the first year with Kelly Clarkson so I don't know who the other contestant was in the final 2 that year. Will the pattern start over this year?
have you noticed that
Taylor hasn't been in the bottom 3 at all yet? Gotta love him! I know, I know, not everybody does but I love him enough to make up for it.
On PAs - has anyone noticed (sm)
that more and more PAs are dictating for the physicians, and they are just awful! They can't pronounce things, go 90 miles an hour, and I'm not impressed with their yawning, laughing, and various other things they do that are aggravating. I am sick of them - even the ESLs are better than some of them. JMO
has anyone else noticed--sm
The new *report message* button at the top of an opened message? I just noticed this when reading some rather snide responses to one of my posts earlier. Hmmmm.....this might be a neat little feature. Thanks again to the Admin. for looking out for the posters who like to frequent here without having to be harassed, polked fun of, and told to *get a life* when something does not meet with someone elses *approval*. 
have any of you noticed
that when you are first hired by a company, they go on to state about all of these certain rules and requirements (the recruiter tells you the same) such as schedule, how long you should be on QA, if you do not do these by a certain time you could be termiated, etc. As soon as you start working, it is totally different. They are much more laid back and none of those things they said are really applied. I am glad that they are more laid back than what you are expecting, but this is just something I have noticed now with 2 companies. Have any of you noticed this?
I had noticed some changes
similar, but I thought they may have been linked with depression.
Things like not wanting to go out for groceries until it was absolutely necessary or if a friend wanted to go out and do things with me. I just figured it had to do with exhaustion/depression. s
