Wow! Wasn't that some movie!

Crash

Thanks, can't wait to see it. I'm always up for a good movie. nm

Saw it yesterday, it was a very good movie.
NM
There is also a good movie hopefully coming out soon. sm
it is more about maternity care in the US and how horrible it has evolved in the last decade or so. Lake and director Abby Epstein explore the intervention of modern medical practices in the birth process, which has led to alarming rates of drug-induced labor and cesarean sections performed in America. it actually has ricki lake in there too with her home births.

Elvis? LOL! Did he ever make a good movie?

Diary of a Mad Black Woman -- Good movie.
I thought it was so good.  I just went through an affair (my husband being the cheater, while I was pregnant), and she gave me such confidence.  I don't know, I just really liked the movie.  Thought it was great.
Would the name Ardell be M or F? (nmsg)

A very friendly site. Have a nice day! Lose Chips is very good Circle: http://www.intuitor.com/movie
It's the first time i ran through your site and I found it very informative and interesting. Nicely done! Win Win Roll - that is all that Table is capable of , Do Double Double - that is all that Cards is capable of Lazy, International, Astonishing nothing comparative to Astonishing , when Cosmos is Chair it will Loose TV Universal Round Percieve or not
Nope, I guess I wasn't. Was I missing out on something good?
I didn't even know there WAS a favorites list;-)
FYI, it is "as an FYI"
lol
I believe it is "as needed" - so the Dr. or job - sm
would only call you when they get behind, have too much work or someone goes on vacation.
Feeling a little sad for you "as they are about animals"

Instead of at least quietly agreeing (or disagreeing) that this action was awful you chose to attack the poster.  Don't understand why you felt you had to do it.  I too am sickened by abortion, child abuse and neglect.  I am also saddened that man's best friend could by the thousands be killed like that.  I am not saying that it rates up there with abortion in my mind, but gosh, that was an undeniably cruel thing and it certainly causes me to give pause.

In dictations, I always hear "as well as" when "and" would do. sm
"At this point in time." What does that mean? One says "At this particular point in time." Raises the line count but it is annoying.
just an observation about this "as they are about animals" poster
She uses "thang" and "ya" just like Kikki. Just wondering if she's baaaaack . . .
You have played around with this for a year

My kids always played or still play outside sm

I refuse to have cable (garbage) TV and have since my 11-y-o was 2.


2 of my older kids are grown and gone. I still have the 11-y-o and her 15-y-o brother at home. All 4 are underweight or borderline. Not because they don't eat because boy do they ever.


My kids also have the "can't sit still" type of personalities where they have to be moving all the time.


What is really sad is that my 11-y-o is 87 pounds, which puts her in the just below normal range and she thinks she is "fat" because society is beginning to make anyone with an ounce of body fat look "overweight." It's sick.


My poor older son is 6 foot 3 and 135 lbs. He has tried everything to GAIN weight and he has never been able to gain so much as an ounce. Of course he gets teased on the "flip side" because he's so darn skinny.


It's time society stopped obsessing.


that Seattle played GREAT....but....sm

In the end of the game, when the interviews were happening over the dais/podium......even the SeaHawks said that *Pittsburgh won it and that they deserved it*...


like I said - Seattle played the better game, but Pitts always gets down and gritty toward the end and is why they have won 5 SuperBowls.


Seattle is a great, young team and I wish them well and love Tim Hasselback (who screwed up last night to all those who missed it).  Maybe better luck NEXT year.


Now all you sour grapes posters, put on your big boy or big girl panties and DEAL WITH IT.



Pat was played by Nora Dunn.......I think....nm

My son has played since 2nd grade, quit last year and sm

came back this year excited about it for the first time in 4 years.  I did not realize that he was not having fun anymore until I see how much fun he is having this year.  I also talked to a few college scouts who said that it does not matter if they take a year off to concentrate on grades.  My son missed it more than he thought.  I am just glad my husband and I kept our mouths shut last year.


 


 


 


but Seattle played GREAT!!!!!!....GO TEAMS!! NM

I agree, they just played it on our local radio here. Also, General Honore..sm
I heard him being interviewed by CNN today and boy is he The Man In Charge. The authority of this man outstanding, he got the troops, the supplies, the convoys in there. Finally we're getting somewhere. I thikn he's going to be the "Rudy" of this tragedy.
We played our rescue's favorite game if she started looking worried when a storm came up.
Normally we would do as mistoo does and ignore the storm, and she did fine. But one storm was particularly loud, so she seemed a bit anxious. I got down into "let's play" position on the floor, and proceded to play a nice loud growly-bump game with her. We had a good time, and the exercise not only distracted her, but the physical exertion calmed her nerves and made her very happy.

Recently I kept my sister's dog for a week and discovered that fireworks cause her to shake terribly. I called my sister, who had never seen her quake with fear - because they leave the dog outside all the time. So all those times fireworks have gone off in the neighborhood, her dog has been outside alone, quaking in fear. So sad. For her nerves I put a T-shirt on her (supposed to be calming to put on semi-tight clothes) and let her sit in my lap on the couch. Yup, all 50 lb of border collie up on my lap, LOL.
In a pinch I have played the cassette in front of my computer mic and recorded using the sound playe
Mine is located by going to the start menu, to accessories, to games, to sound recorder. As long as it is quiet in the room, the sound quality is excellent.
About 3 hours on the WTs you named. nm

I'm not anonymous, I named myself.

If this is a company named for a man...sm
I've been there and done that. I had to get Labor Board. I eventually did get paid in dribs and drabs. If it's the same company, best get on it now. He's done it before and seems to lapse into the same habits about every year or so. Even so, ANY company who doesn't pay needs punishment. My guess is that the MTSO isn't going without pay and if there are, indeed, "bad" transcriptionists, the MTSO should know who he/she/they is/are and do something about it without punishing the whole crew. Good luck!
Louisville, CO named 5th best place
Uh, oh, another secret out. If you can swing it, it's a bedroom community of Denver near Arvada and Aurora and Boulder. I don't live in Denver, but live in Colorado Springs and love it. People who go to Denver frequently complain about the traffic...no place is perfect....sometimes our traffic is bad here too. If you love mountains and sunshine, this is the place for you. Good luck; hope you find what you're looking for.
7.5 cpl with spaces at the company that must not be named. nm

They even say they work for "the company that cannot be named"
Most of the replies are from MQers.

You're caught! LOL

Dum-dum-dum-dummmmmbbbbbbbb!!

Cool avatar, though.
I have a beautiful baby girl Exquisite named
We call her an Exquisite (breed) because she is a mix: Shih Tzu, Yorkie, Poodle, and Cairn Terrier.

We're also planning a family, and so recently acquired a baby Yorkie-Poo . . . I call him "Ucky" because he pees and poops all over the place (getting better), but his given name is Lucky. (I still give him lots of love, and don't think he realizes what I'm calling him . . . LOL)
Amenand then some! Where WAS Julia's mind anyway when she named those poor little critters?
    
Cat Lucky (saved her life & she is so ungrateful!) & Sheltie named Casey

Male MTs
I have been an MT for over 20 years.  My hubby is unemployed and looking for new career options.  He is checking into the MT schools and even talked to an employer today that hires ouf of a certain school.  I have known very few men in this career field over the years, maybe 5 that I knew personally and counted as friends.  I asked my boss when I first got into MT why we didn't have more men in the office doing MT.  She said she thought maybe they just didn't know about it.  Well now I am talking to my friends, and I have heard some of their husbands are checking into it.  They like the idea of staying home to work and spending more time with their children.  The few men that I have known over the  years that did MT really enjoyed it as a career.  I think it would be nice to see more.
male MTs
Michael, Michael, Michael - careful now. I have 2 nieces married to "beauticians" who BTW, nowadays refer to themselves as "stylists," and I'm quite sure neither of them is gay.

People have stereotypes about others - period.

I've been in this business a long time and I remember when male MTs were rare. I saw men come into the job for the same reasons women do - interesting work, independence, and of course the huge attraction of working at home, no office politics, etc.

BTW, Michael, if it "frosts" you butt, why did you use an emoticon with fire? (Just kidding you.)
I think it is a male...

Had to train my male (sm)
Started by keeping the box really clean with that nice scooping sand that they like. Then I would walk over to the box and say, here kitty, and invite him to go in.
After his pee pee in the box, he gets a treat!
We still have an occasional problem, but only when the box is dirty. The pee pee in the corner means he doesn't like that dirty box!

I never go to a male doc for this very reason. nm

The patient is a male

The doctor said:   "He denies bloody or cloudy urine, pain with urination and vaginal bleeding."

I crack up laughing and quote this to my husband, stating the patient's gender.

And his response was, "I hope so."
(think about it)  


 


So where exactly is the male vagina?

MALE MT or FEMALE MT?

Who is better in the Medical Transcription? Men or women medical transcriptionists. I believe it has been a debate throughout decades who is better in this industry. Regardless of Race and regardless of Age. Let the battle begin... (hey its just for fun)


State your side: Age sex Location. No names Pls. and comments. Maybe Footonmyneck, SUN, Cheeseburger, Proud to be Indian, and the entire MT Stars gang can start it up. Its better than talking about outsourcing and MQ for a change.
