pointed out, dear Cat is sure strutting her you-know-whats. Yuck. Chris was absolutely stunned, and so were a lot of viewers. We're not even gonna bother - the remaining 3 are nice enough, but talented enough? No way!!

oh yes, I have two teens (sm)
and they know full well how I feel about them drinking. I am not saying you can control it or stop it, but you are the one who said you didn't want to know if she was drinking at college, and to me, that is retarded! My son will be 18 tomorrow, and believe me, I'd want to know if he was drinking when he starts college in January. I guess I just have a closer relationship with my teen than you do, and for that I am sorry!
I HAD TEENS TOO
not all parents are that easy to fool, maybe you are. and 2nd and 3rd grade drinking, that is kind of rare to me. maybe your head has been stuck in the sand too long, take a look at a alot of other kids, most of them did not have to attend a tenn AA MEETING.
Teens~
I hear ya. According to my son all the kids he knows are allowed to stay up all night, talk on the phone or IM until all hours and even drink alcohol at home. I say that is wonderful for them, but that is not going to work in our house. My son is a 17-year-old senior and the past few months have been a nightmare. He was always so sweet and mild and did listen, but that all went out the window. We have sent him to a psychiatrist because we cannot figure out how to motivate him. Believe me~ you are not alone. If you get any answers, let me know, because I am at the end of my rope with this crap. 
teens and New Cars
Yes, there are probably a few nice new cars the "sweet 16's" had given to them, more so probably out of the guilt the parents felt for not spending time with them or the parents need to "keep up" their own status. My niece was one of those....daddy bought his little girl anything she snapped her fingers for, she is 23, never went to college or held a job, but has a masters degree in partying and shopping. It's finally wearing thin on ol Pops and he gripes and complains but he set the standard the first time he gave in. Kids may not like you right now, but they will appreciate it more so when it's their hard earned money and feel a sense of accomplishment.
On the other hand, my kid who is 20, is still driving a used car and he now knows the benefit of it after 3-4, 5...can't even remember the count minor fender benders, no injuries except to his pride!
Teens are just learning how to drive, insist of driving with the damn cell phones to their ears and minds on anything but the roads, and as I put it, why take something brand new and bang it up? Save it till you have more experience, more of your own money and your insurance rates are lower. If my kid and his friends had stock in Maaco, they'd be young millionaires by now!
Remind her of that old saying, which I heard a zillion years ago when I was a teen "people in h _ _ _ want ice water but they don't always get it
I'd take hung any day over 2 teens that like RAP!! UGH!
I need shock absorbers for my upstairs floors while they listen to their RAP downstairs.
Don't ask why I put up with it. I do because they don't drink or drug. They write and record.
gotta pick your battles.
I have 3 teens on myspace.
Really, you need to slowly step out on the porch, down the driveway, and into the world.
Don't you realize that media will sensationalize anything to the furthest extent possible in order to raise your blood pressure?
I watch the myspace of my kids, my kids' friends, and of any anxillary friends (it's not at all hard to do if you can use a computer keyboard). Ninety-five percent are fine. A few are revealing. Heck, my 16-year old met the greatest fellow on the planet through myspace; he has become a second son.
I have a myspace myself, centered around my work and hobbies.
Don't condemn reality before you experience your first breath.
Yes, teens should work...
When I was in high school, I babysat and right after graduation worked in the local conveneince store. My sister worked in a clothing factory with no air conditioning, which gave her great incentive to go to college when she came home covered in lint and threads stuck to her. (Not bashing factory work, because that's where my grandmother worked. Just making a point.)
My oldest, who is now 19, worked at a grocery store and at a summer camp at our community center last summer. He had gas and car insurance to pay for after he bought a car. Right now he is attending college and working part-time at Fed Ex, loading trailers that are around 100 degrees inside. Again, another incentive to do well in school. He has rent, utilities and gas to pay for while he is at school.
My daughter is 16 and ready to take her driver's test in a couple of weeks. She started working at the same store I worked at, but unfortunately they scheduled her for every weekend and then started to cut her hours back to next to nothing, like 1 1/2 hours a night. She quit with our blessing with the understanding that once she has her license, she will start job hunting, because she, too, will have gas and car insurance to pay for. She already babysits quit a bit and buys whatever extra stuff she wants and also still has some money left from her other job that she left in March.
My youngest son is 14 and has been working in his uncle's shop for several years, helping out with this and that and he makes pretty good money. Of the 3 of them, he is the one who LOVES to work. In fact, we went to see Pirates of the Caribean (sp?) this weekend, and he wouldn't go because he wanted to help his uncle, so I have no worries about him making his way in the world.
Sorry so long.
TEENS SHOULD WORK...
At some point, at least at 16, teens should work. There are too many "EXTRAS" that they want now adays and if they want them enough they should be responsible enough to work hard to get them. My husband always thought my daughter(17) should not work while in school so she could concentrate on her studies until he saw how his sister (who is 18 years younger than him) did not work during high school or college and could not find a job after college because she had no experience. My daughter has been babysitting summers for two years and now she works at a fast food place. She pays for most of her gas, any extra clothes she wants and half of her expenses for extracurricular activities at school. This summer she mainly worked to pay off an enormous cell phone bill (which she no longer has) which taught her a big lesson in responsibility and money.
So it is my opinion that teens should work, be it part time somewhere or babysitting or yard work. The big real world is competitive.
YES teens should work to help pay for what they want but don't need
so I could help with money at home. It does teach responsibility and gives a sense of pride with each paycheck. My 10 yo wants a cell phone. I told her no way til she has a job and can pay for her minutes!
We have teens, so our plan is...
...to have one big trip every few years. We did Europe with all 3 teens in 2002, then Kauai with teens and friends this past summer (oldest graduating). Next year we are going back to Europe to do more of Italy, Wales, and Ireland with #2 graduating. Luckily I have a money-smart hubby who insists we live below our means so we can do these trips.
We also have a #2 daughter involved in competitive Irish dance, so we travel about once a month for that far and wide across the U.S. I don't call these vacations, though, but rather endless flying, shuttles, and staying at hotels. Not fun.
I'm shocked as well ... here's where ...
Look at the recipe thread here on page 1 of the Main Forum.
Open the post by "Just Observing".
There are ads displayed on the right, down the page where the "latest" posts are listed.
One of them is for BPO Experts. It is an ad for Indian offshoring of MT, coding, different types of HIM work.
I am quite shocked myself to see this ad on this website.
I am shocked
I still can't believe it. I did a search for MT companies and came upon Zydoc. Searched here but found only one person asking a question. Started filling out the form on their website and got to the last page and it asked me to enter my CC info!!!
I was shocked!
Ace really deserved to go home last night. I can't even believe that it was Bucky.
I am shocked!
What a jerk that doctor was! I am sorry you got in trouble for that, but I am sure you flagged it and did not just send it in as a final.
You go, girl!
I was so shocked!
I could not believe it when I read what was on this web site.

I am shocked that.....
companies even use PayPal to pay. PayPal is not a very legitimate company and is KNOW for freezing funds, over-charging fees, etc. Years ago, Paypal decided to freeze $3,000 that I had in an account to "investigate" it, although it was clearly shown where the money came from. It took me a year to get my money back. I found out that they do this sometimes to invest different monies I guess. Crazy company, I wouldn't use them!
Absolutely teens work
In this day and age of 10 year olds with ATM cards and cell phones, absolutely! How do you learn the value of money if you never actually earn it and handle it? All 3 of my kids walked dogs for $2 an hour, scooped ice cream, babysat, mowed lawns, shoveled snow, etc. As long as their grades were up, they could work part time. The deal was that whatever they saved towards college spending money, we would match. We would also help buy each a used car for college. They knew from age 12 they had ONE SHOT at college on our nickel, then they were on their own if they dropped out or flunked out. We didn't micromanage their savings -- they were responsible for it themselves all along. All 3 absolutely amazed us -- between them we had to match almost $20k. They are now well eductated, working and productive adults. My eldest son actually thanked me for our good example as parents, and giving them an understanding of the value of money. How great is that????
Absolutely and my 2 teens are ready also. sm
I have a Senior in HS and a Freshman in HS who both are board, finished their summer reading, tired of the swim club, been to the beach for 3 weeks, and they are now vamping up for their summer camps, VB and football. They both said yesterday, they are board and their brain needs stimulation.
I on the other hand, can't wait to have my space back. I sometimes feel "my space" is invaded and don't have a spot to call my own. No matter what room in the house I go into, someone is there or follows me in, especially the kitchen.
Can't wait for school to start, but on the other hand, am not that anxious as they will be 1 more year toward being on their own and leaving the house for good - college and everything. That is scary!
I think teaching pre-teens how to do laundry
I think 10-12 year olds can help do some laundry - it helps them develop a work ethic and shows them that if they go out on their own, what they will have to do....well, the ones who don't continually bring their laundry back to their mothers. *LOL* AND they love eaning $$$ - it's a great way, instead of *tossing* allowances at them.....chores/laundry/etc. = few dollars in their little pockets *S*
It's all about deals and contracts w/kids I think....and I'm a pro...on the subject, as I have some....*lol*
I was shocked too. Are there that many pedophiles?
a
You're welcome. I was shocked at some of it too. You know, there are
in stores and bakeries now too!!!! Lots more opportunities to be sitting in a danger zone in case you happen to be called in to be tested out of the blue and there you stand with you teeth in your mouth (and a few muffin crumbs on your blouse)...failing a drug screen.. yikes.
Very true...I was shocked as well
at least we can take comfort in knowing that SOMEONE will give him a recording contract.
I am shocked you would even question. sm
Your job is to transcribe the dictation. It is not your report - it belongs to who signs it. And unless you cannot understand a phrase or word - you blank it. Sounds like that was a clear sentence. Shaking my head.
The more I read, the more shocked I am
Your pharmacy cannot tell your husband your prescription is ready. Where does this madness end? People on here are paranoid, the whole world seems like going in the same direction. You cannot call someone's name in a physician's office, your next of kin cannot be told your prescription is ready- on and on and on. All this political correctness is just a bunch of bunk. I could use a lot more words to describe but not allowed to do so here.
Not me - love my 2 teens at home! Enjoy it while you can.
I realize my house doesn't have to be perfect all of the time, their rooms do not need to be clean all of the time, and I enjoy them so much. Soon, my son will go to college and I will be left with my one daughter, and then she will go to college and I will have an empty house with just me, hubby, and our golden. Boy, I dread those days. I am enjoying all the noise, fighting, messiness and laughter as much as possible. I love when they have friends over. They are so funny and a delight!
Really, don't wish it away too quickly.
I don't think she means adults. She is talking about teens
nm
Just turned 40 last week, Not on myspace and won't allow my teens either. sm
I have a very fulfilling life with my husband, family and friends - don't see the need for myspace for folks my age.
As for the teens - there is just too much temptation on their for them to get in trouble. They are forbidden and I check the web as well as their computers, cookies, etc. every week to be sure they are in compliance. To much danger there for my son and daughter.
I am shocked at how some people responded to this.....
Everyone has their bad days....that doesn't mean you throw your marriage away and decide you are better off w/o them. I know where you're coming from having a husband of my own that some days I could just kill but most days I love him to death and don't know what I would do w/o him. Don't pay these people any attention or let them get you down. Vent when you need to...
I for one was shocked at the line rate
When I first started out. They start some at 5 cpl, are you kidding me? 10 years ago I started at 0.0775 cpl. How can they do this and get away with it? Why are people signing up to do this?
I'm shocked. Sherrie come on out and talk to us
Dont you owe us that much?? We have supported this site for years.. Talk to us.
I wouldn't trust this at all! I'm shocked you do!
Talk about inviting trouble in the door!
38, female, married, 2 teens ages 16 and 14. Started tMT when I was 17. nm

I am shocked too! And the way that Ryan Seacrest just blurted it out...sm
I did not like that one bit! That was so mean how he told him he was the one going home! It was a shocker, but he will be one getting a contract sometime in the near future. I hope Taylor wins! I will for sure be keeping my phone lines busy next time - just goes to show that you better be calling and voting for the one you like most. Never would have thought Chris would have gotten voted off tonight....
Maybe she should have stayed in America where Americans look for drunken teens everyday.
If you go to a foreign country, you are under their laws and their policing. If you don't like it, DON'T TRAVEL OUT OF THE COUNTRY! In the meantime, TEXAS TEAM IS SEARCHING IN ARUBA WITH PERMISSION AND ARE VERY HAPPY WITH COOPERATION FROM ARUBAN GOVERNMENT!
Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly. These mistakes should not have been made. I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you.
I agree. I was shocked too. Laurie seems irritated; thought a little
mothering might help calm her down.
I'm raising my children alone. I know how it is.
I believe the original poster is the one doing the scoring, and she is SHOCKED at how low the score
is for the MT, and she doesn't even know what to say to the MT under comments. I can certainly relate - lately, its abysmal in my company. How, oh how, do these MTs get hired? To me, that is the BIGGEST mystery.
I'm shocked that they are still in business. Why haven't they been prosecuted and/or shut dow

I received an invitation to a baby shower that shocked me....sm
It was for a friend having her second baby...already strange because I thought baby showers were only for the first baby, when you don't have any of the necessary items. The worst part, though, was that printed on the invitation was the ADMISSION PRICE to the party! It was a tea party at a tea room of some sort. It also was printed on the invitation what gift to bring!
I chose not to go to the party. I politely declined and gave an appropriate gift of my own choosing at a later date.
Wow..I'm so shocked. I didnt know this happened. I know the clients pay the MTSO owners so why ca
the MTs who do the work. Is this the same person. It sounds like she is a nice person but nice does not pay the bills. Anyone care to give initials of the company as I have been looking for a IC job and obviously with these people having a huge turnover due to nonpayment, I do not want to fall into that trap. How awful!!!
Hi, yes I did explain above. Really shocked by that post who thinks I'm a company...ahahah
NO bad intentions whatsoever. Shoot me for copy and pasting....too lazy to reype.
That's just really funny.
babies are easier than teens and older children. they sleep and you can hold them and type. nm
;
Definitely an eye-opening read. Having my teens read it, too. nm
