Water seeks its own level. Controlling men (and women)
Posted By: sm on 2006-01-21
In Reply to: I used to be married to - one of "those" men
seem to end up with a spineless jellyfish of a person. The wimpier person likes being told what to do because he/she has no confidence to make a decision, and the bossy one loves ruling with an iron fist.
Been there, done that.
Got rid of the bossy one too.

LOLOL. Women obviously store more WATER than men.

Water here, too. I fill water bottles halfway and freeze them
so I have ice water for the entire day. It's easier than trying to cram ice cubes down the little mouths of the bottles. I confess to having coffee, Earl Grey tea and a cola today because I'm too tired from the idiots who were rodding their cars around in front of the house from midnight until 3:00 a.m. last night. Oh, well. At least I'm off today.
I came from low level neighborhood. I know the effects low level people have on a child's
mind. I fought very hard to get out of there. If you think narrow-minded high-horse thinking people are the only ones who are making trailer park comments, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. I know white trash people who live for the weekend to get drunk and party and make just enough to get by. I am educated in the "real world" and whether you like it or not, the "real world" doesn't want to be anywhere near a trailer park for real or imagined reasons and does ostracize trailer park people along with ghetto people and section 8 people. Crime, drugs, do come from low income housing. BTW, people are outraged at black-on-black ghetto crime. That does not happen in higher working class black neighborhoods. Same deal with white trash people. Low class white people get drunk fight and end up in jail. If you read the newspaper or watch it on TV over the weekend, you know what I am talking about. Crime, drugs, etc is rarely an ONGOING problem in upper class neighborhoods because most of these people have goals for the future. Lower class neighborhoods and low class people are what they are because that's what the people in the neighborhoods settle for.
Correction - Men and women cheat - men get caught - women don't
I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.
One controlling so-and-so
Unless you are paid by time instead of production, or claiming that you work more than 40 hours per week, what right would anyone have to be monitoring this anyway? Sounds like someone who is controlling and needs to get a life. There are many in our industry who enjoy, and take advantage of, any power that they can get, which often is the result of great inner insecurity. It also sounds like it could be a symptom of OCD.
controlling men
Please be sure and make plans ahead of time if you decide to leave. My daughter has been through this twice now. Her first left her and son at age 4 1/2 took over $75,000 and left her with nothing. She did get the house but has to pay $525 per month. She is also an MT at home. Get separate bank accounts, etc. He took bankruptcy and never did what the judge ordered then told her she would have to sell the house since they had joint business. If I hadn't stepped in and had her put the house in my husband's name and mine she would have lost that and could only have kept $10,000 of it. So, please be careful check the laws in your state.
And anyone who is THAT controlling and suspicious
.
It must be mind controlling or something, I have no idea.
and divorce has come to mind so many times. He has been playing this game nonstop since the end of last year. Spends hours on it a day. He loses sleep because of it too!
I agree. Sounds like a controlling attention-seeking parent so

Women, especially women of childbearing
age (especially this woman) prefer indoor plumbing and a bit of privacy rather than using a port-a-potty. I met a woman recently, she and her husband built the house behind me. She is also a master mechanic and does landscaping, all traditional male professions. She is a bit rough around the edges and I would never have pictured her with the man who is her husband.
I know a few male MTs and if they aren't gay, they missed a good chance.
WATER and MORE WATER

A water gun would and should get a kid SM
disciplined, IMO. It's a toy and should stay home and not come to school.
At my grandson's daycare they get kicked out for making guns out of Legos! No guns in school anywhere, any time, any shape, form or fashion.
Lord, we made bazookas out of big sticks, rifles out of smaller ones, and handguns out of little bent ones. Then we proceeded to kill each other all over the place - the difference is that we didn't do it when we grew up.
Coffee and a big cup of ice water so far...nm

Yes, and that same jug of water costs how much after it's
been paid for with tax dollars, hauled in on trucks, and handed out by National Guardsmen and FEMA workers who are being paid and are away from their own families? That little jug of water costs more to the taxpayers than Perrier.
yes, and running water too.

The largest end goes in the water. nm

Don't put in dishwasher, water gets too hot, but you
can wash in the tub or shower. I've washed mine 3 times in the shower. I don't use anything, just hot water and run over it a few times, let it sit for a bit and then run water again to get anything really sticky off. I then shake it upside down really good and then place it upside down on a towel near a vent to dry. It takes me 3 days to get it dried out good. I've used it in 2 days and kept getting errors, so let it dry a third day and no problems.
You can take a warm damp cloth and wipe over the keyboard. I would suggest unplugging it from the computer so you don't reprogram something. I also take an index card and run it down between the keys. You'd be surprised how much dust/animal hair you get out. I also turn my keyboard over and thumb it a couple of times on my tray and that gets out a lot of crumbs.
Level I
After 25 years as a MT and I'm only a Level I? I think not, but with MQ, yes, that's all I've been able to get...
Level I
what's wrong is having 5 accounts to switch back and forth from and running out of work....
I never once said they were on the same level--sm
It is just my personal opinion that killing of any breathing living being is wrong. and since there are different *punishments* for killing a man and killing a beast, a *punishment* is still a *punishment* and I personally prefer not to be *punished* in any context. This life alone has been *punishment* enough. I simply prefer not to be *punished* in the after life for causing harm to another, be it human or animal. I try very hard to live my life by God's laws, which are far more important than any self-serving laws that man can think up. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Since I am not looking to debate this already dead issue any longer, I will not respond to any more posts concerning it. This was just my opinion and I am entitled to it without having to be criticised for it. Have a great day.
well on that level, i'm with you
100%. I think the vast majority of Americans are frustrated at the loss of jobs and the illegal immigration situation.
It is exp. level....sm
Newbies up until 2 years are MT level 1. I know 2 years and up is level 2 and I am not sure of MT level 3 how much exp that is.
women, sorry - nm

Its because men R better than women!

lots of water before eating
I haven't tried this myself, but I recently read an article about two very overweight men who lost tons of weight (not quickly, but gradually). Both exercised every day, starting off with very little and gradually working it up, and one of them said he also drank something like a liter of water before each meal, which filled up his stomach so he got full fast and it really helped him cut back on how much he was eating. I thought it sounded logical.
I really wish I could make myself drink more water..
but as a hazard of being a southern girl, I drink tea all day like it's going out of style 
Freezing water in bottles
It's great that you drink ice water, but I read that freezing water in plastic bottles leaches chemicals from the plastic into your water (potential cancer cause). Better to use those new ice cube trays that make finger-shaped ice cubes!
chug a glass of water

Your argument does not hold water.
A hurricane in those areas of Texas may indeed have never been so far inland, but that's the nature of natural disasters. For 4 years now Homeland Security has been trying to drill it into the minds of the American people that you need to be prepared for ANYTHING. Maybe next time it will be a terrorist hit. Maybe an earthquake along New Madrid. Don't you believe your survival should be dependent on yourself? Or do you expect the govt to swoop in and take care of it for you? The sheeple need to wake up. Get prepared and stay prepared!
I drink only unsweetened tea or water...

Have you ever made those water candles?
When I was a young teenager, we would make the water candles in a bucket of water. Got burned more than I care to think about. Made some pretty awesome-looking candles though!
Holy cow, wonder what is in that poor cat's water??

How is THAT warm water? hmmm? LOL..nm

sorry but reaons don't hold water...
"Leasing also allows you to get more car for the money " nooooo...leasing allows you to drive more car than you can actually afford. It's a version of living beyond your means.
"Lease payments are much lower than buying" talk about needing instant gratification! Leasing per mile is always more expensive than ownership. You forget, at the end of the lease, you give the car back. At the end of the same $$ spent in car payments, you could sell the car and get MONEY back.
"You will always have a car payment (which we would anyway)." And you will always live paycheck to paycheck, but then maybe you would anyway!
"Always be within warranty and only pay for gas and basic maintenance." There's other ways to do this. You can buy a car and trade it in every five years and only pay for gas, maintenance and be within warranty.
"Then again, you will always have a new car" - yea, that someone else owns, not you.
Not flaming, but the rationale behind some of these comments just burns me up. Buying a new car from a dealer is the worse way to do it - except leasing a new car from a dealer. For Pete's sake, think about it! Obviously they are making a ton of money off of you-- otherwise they wouldn't do it!!!
Save your money, watch for a cream puff in the classifieds, buy something with 30,000 miles or less, with cash. Then you can laugh all the way to your garage.
Just to mention why I think I'm in a position to give this advice? We own our home free and clear (7 years old, worth $500,000), own 2 cars and a truck that's paid for. Our latest vehicle is a 2002 Toyota Tacoma pick up. $33,000, paid $14,500 cash for it. Have over 200,000 in our IRA's. And guess what. I'm an MT and he's a machinist. No corporate paychecks here. There's a way to manage your money, or your money will manage you.
What kind of water damage is what I would like to know sm..
Was it leaking from basement walls into basement or did someone leave water running and cause a flood, or was it sewer backup, or what is a natural flood? Any kind of water damage really stinks!! We had the unfortunate situation happen to us years ago when their was flooding all around us, but we did fine, that is, until the sewer system backed up into our basement about 4 feet high! This was so gross, I don't think I'll ever get over it, however, we had it professionally cleaned and disinfected and threw EVERYTHING out, so hopefully that solved any health issues, so we are told. Anyway, we invested $600 into a backup valve so that it will never happen again. I have wanted to move ever since just because it was so gross and I can't get the image out of my head, but 4 years later, we are still here, kids and all. So, the moral of the story I am trying to get at is this....they were supposed to be upfront and honest about the water damage problem and they were not, which leads me to believe that they have something to hide. Therefore, you should potentially be able to get any money back because of this if you can prove that it was withheld information on the contract. If you just love the house that much, go ahead with the inspection and find out what kind of water damage it was. If it checks out with inspector, I would strongly suggest you have it professionally cleaned/disinfected to be safe, and expect it to maybe happen again and consider that thoroughly. Personally, if we ever go to sell this house, I will be up front about it because even though we seemed to have fixed the problem, it is very possible it can happen again. Hope this all makes sense. Good luck.
oh, that just made my eyes water!!! (sm)
I can't imagine with all of the toys that are available that someone would need to turn to fruits and veggies for thrills. OMG, you know, potatoes are the worst smelling ick when they start rotting. I wonder if the poor doc who removed it puked. and it was sprouting??? blech!
Spilled water on my Dictaphone...sm
C-phone. Not a large amount, but now none of the buttons work. Dial tone sounded shrill when I picked up the handset, but that has stopped now and the sound is normal. Anyone out there expeienced this? The one time I put a glass of water near it, and I bumped it with my elbow.
And your educational level is?
and the more I read this board the happier I am that I'm getting out of this business. Too many "bully wannabes" in here with their name-calling and misplaced aggression. If your life sucks so much that you need to get off on "winning your little pretend cyber battle for the day" ROCK ON. I'm going to use my degree and talk to intelligent people in the real world. Have fun!
Entry-Level MTs
Hello to all!
Can anyone give any advice on where I may be able to go and find an entry-level MT position? I greatly appreciate all the responses I hope to receive. Thanks all!
Entry Level MT's
MedQuist hires entry levels with good testing scores. Fax them your resume. Its worth a try. Good luck
High Level 4
I don't know if we're allowed to post it or not on here, but it's very decent for the MT world, plus they supposedly do raises periodically without you having to beg.
and your educational level is?
LOL
It's obvious, my dear. No need to respond but I know you're too angry not to.
Your turn.
Like shooting fish in a barrel.
It would take a new level of destitution, that's for sure

Entry level MT's
Hello.................I know all of you are tired of hearing about how hard it is to find a job at entry level. I have two certificates from two separate programs. I have been working for a clinic here where I live part time typing clinic notes. It is only about two hours per day. I found a lady on this site who said she would hire anybody if she could find somebody willing to work. I emailed her and she promised to get me started asap. That was a few months before Christmas and she still hasn't contacted me. Does anybody know how to get started as entry level. I truly need the work. My part time is paying well but two hours a day is not very much. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.................
I'm in Level Cross, NC

Yep, he is from Level Cross
he lives about 1 1/2 miles from my house. See him at the gas station now and again.
Spheris pay to level 3/4
Recently began working for Spheris. After a month in mentoring received half the paycheck expected. Told the offer letter was wrong and there is no training pay. Also told after mentoring if blanks are left for a certain percentage of reports, incentive bonus is taken away. Is all this true? Can anyone respond to what is happening here? These are on ESL accounts. They take away incentive if the docs are not speaking English?
