Seems to me that those who find it simply unbelieveable and offensive that an MT can have an above average IQ and still choose to do this type of work insult the profession and those who choose to be transcriptionists.
I've experienced this same knee-jerk reaction (heavy on the JERK part) in the real world, too. Usually, it stems from nothing more than jealousy on the part of those who would LOVE to be able to "brag" that they have an above average IQ.

they were both in disbelief
I think Katherine looked as shocked not be going home as Chris did that he was voted off. Taylor has always been my personal favorite because he is so entertaining but I really thought Chris would be in the final two. After tonight, I have a feeling that Katherine may be the winner. She would definitely be very marketable.
i feel disbelief/wonder. been at it a long time

Panic attacks. Please sm.
I used to suffer from these on a daily basis. According to my doc at that time, they are usually brought on by a conscious or even subconscious stressor.
First thing? Be sure it was a panic attack and not something else. Yes, see a doc. I know others will disagree, and that's fine, but you asked and that is my 2 cents. No one.....not even the docs.....can diagnose over the phone or via internet.
The first rule is to make sure there is nothing physically causing this.
PERSONAL ATTACKS (SM)
Cut it out with the personal attacks. If you don't like the subject matter, skip it. Banning is the next step. I'm tired of deleting unnecessary, ugly posts.

No, you just make YOUR attacks and then say

panic attacks since 1997
Doctors are a waste. You'll go thru dozens w/no outcome. What is necessary is this: Find the stressor(s) and eliminate. Minimize your life. Al-Anon or other group meetings are highly effective: Need new lifestyle/change in thinking, deal w/wreckage of past, deal with fears, obsessive thinking. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST AND FOREMOST. Hope this helped.
Chill. Personal attacks are not necessary. sm
I asked some thoughtful questions and you are questioning my right to be an MT. You don't know me. My work is excellent and I have many years of experience. If you don't want to answer a question, don't get personal. It isn't necessary.
We have had a couple pitbull attacks here - sm
on the west side of Richmond, however these were people attacks, both of which died. Both attacks were in the last 2 years or so. The owners in both cases were charged and both went to trial and were found guilty, manslaughter, I believe, were the charges. Pitbulls can be good dogs if brought up right, many get them to fight, etc. or do not train them so they are unmanageable, etc. though I would not have one around with children, you cannot be too safe. I am very sorry for your loss. I hope animal control is able to catch these dogs and get them destroyed. It will probably take a court order though, etc. Lots of legalities to wade through in this sort of thing so I hope it comes out in your favor so you get some satisfaction for your loss.
Stop with the vicious personal attacks. (SM)
Control the inflammatory remarks. This is not your own personal war zone. Take your confrontations elsewhere.
Do you think pc attacks only occur at night? They are looking for open pc all the time.
:P

There now are reports of as many as 80 people dead -- a number that is likely to rise -- in apparent terror attacks aimed at tourists and travelers in Mumbai, India.
![Oberoi_fire](http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/images/2008/11/26/oberoi_fire.jpg" "Oberoi_fire") Reuters is reporting that at least 250 people have been wounded in the attacks, which appear targeted at tourists. In addition, Indian television is reporting Westerners are being held hostage at at least two hotels. News networks and wire services are reporting there have been at least seven separate attacks in the city, largely at luxury hotels and restaurants.
"I heard some gunshots around 9:30. I was with my friends. Something hit me. I ran away and fell on the road. Then somebody picked me up. I have injuries below my shoulder," Reuters reporter Sourav Mishra said from a hospital bed, Reuters reported.
The Times of India reports there have been eight separate attacks, including a major terror strike at a large passenger railway station.
Our coverage is here.

Update at 3:57 p.m. ET: According to the AP, gunmen are known to have attacked a major train station, a well-known restaurant, two luxury hotels and a police station. A previously unknown group calling itself "Deccan Mujahideen" has sent e-mail to news organizations claiming responsibility for the attacks, the Times of India is reporting. The AP now lists the death toll at 78. There are multiple reports that attacks are continuing.
I agree.. I would be working from home even if I didn't have anxiety attacks!
Thanks for sharing!
If you think attacks only occur at night, better tell the folks on the other side of the world, they

Starting personal attacks always expose the loser:.to your information,
because I find it faster my way, ONLINE.
You are using bookd, the old-fashioned way?
Expensive and much too slow.
I checked the yesterday'a and today's questions in the afternoon and found - as already said - only 1 somehow unjustifiable question.
To check 1 day would have been enough.
I research ONLINE
with fast and accurate results. The internet is literally swamped with resources and references and is the fastest way. You should try it.
Are you still looking into books? Way too slow.
So, do not blow this out of proportion.
If you have the urge to teach and to guide, open your own MT school and give your advice there.

I live in the Kansas City area and this summer we have had a rash of pit bull attacks especially
in the Independence, MO area. The city governments have passed laws banning pit bulls and last week something like 100+ pitbulls were picked up by animal control or dropped off at the city pound and all were destroyed.
Personally, I think the owners of these animals should be held just as accountable as the dog. Well, I guess maybe putting the owner to sleep is a bit extreme.
I'm so sorry about your lab.
