You responded to her post. What else would anyone think?
.o.
Thank you to everyone who responded to my post.
I may have not responded to everyone individually but really appreciate all of the responses, advice, and personal experiences.
Very encouraging messages from all of you.
TY
No, I did not at all! I responded to the post that a mom/MT cannot do both well.
If that is not the situation for you, so be it. I do not think, nor did I say, that you were a bad MT or parent. I simply said that mothers who work full time at home and choose to have their children at home also, can do both jobs well. That previous posts said that a mom/MT cannot do both jobs well.
I'm sorry you feel picked on. Yours was the post I responded too because SM
yours was the one I found to be most unbelievable and in case you didn't notice, I wasn't the only one who found it unbelievable.
Question for those who responded to Lasik eye surgery post
I had one dr. say I was not a candidate for lasik surgery and then this year went in for eye exam and was told that they couldn't understand why previous dr. said no when they felt I was. I don't know which one to believe. Also, 2nd dr. said he would do one eye for distance and other for close vision - is this hard to get used to?
Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post
Sorry
Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.
KYradMT....sm
Would you please email me? I need some information from you.
TIA !
sorry, but I believe kyradmt is
I used "normal" multiple times only because the post I responded to used "normal" as the
By normal I meant NOT sexually perverted, NOT socially inept, NOT desperate, etc.
I also posted later that maybe I misunderstood what the original poster was talking about. I originally thought she meant internet dating in general, but now it seems more like she means married men looking for "friends" online, which is totally different and not at all anything I have any knowledge of.
I have no idea, though, what your comment about "DC" is regarding. I didn't say anything at all about a "DC."

Thanks. I was going to correct my post.
After being told I had to download the new version for InScribe, I was told I could not use any outside player. I misunderstood the reason for that and just assumed that they meant it would not work with an outside player, Express Scribe, Gearplayer, etc.
After going back and fourth with questioning about this, I finally found out that it's the MTSO who does not want an outside player used and will only allow the built-in player.
So it has nothing whatsoever to do with InScribe and I apologize for causing problems.
However, the new version does require the USB pedal (according to the tech guy at Emdat).
This post is 100% correct in that
the way social security was set up was not entitlement. I have paid for years and I am choosing not to take retirement now at my retirement age, not because I do not have the income from retirement funds and other places but because I feel I can still work and be productive. I see no reason whatsoever to quit at a time when my skills are still good and I can contribute to my home- also I know by continuing to work just is pooling more money if and when I decide to take my social security. I would not be so ignorant to take early retirement if I did not do planning ahead of time.
Not that KYradMT or any of us have to explain our presence here
to anyone, but personally, I'm waiting for work to download so I'm killing time. Besides, all work and no play makes Jack or Jill a boring MT. What's your reason for being here?
I just wondered why you felt it necessary to point out that the OP had posted the same post before.
It's the equivalent of rolling your eyes and saying you've heard this before when someone is telling you a story they've told before. The polite thing to do is listen again. Not tell them, you've told me this before.
This post is correct in its content.

You're correct on this post!!....sm
I suppose the platform used has A LOT to do with it - I didn't think of that prior to my post back at you. *S* I'll have to rethink it all. But I am far faster on ASR than any regular reports (well, I get tons of ESL as we all do today).
*S*
The post above you completely correct
and why do you have to get up on the wrong side in order to state what is the truth? You have no rights per se to work from home- it is their job and like her, I would be very glad just to have had the chance to work from home. The job owes her absolutely nothing other than to pay her for her work. A reality check is indeed in line. Too many prima donnas here thinking they should be given the ability to call the shots. Ha!
The above post totally correct
IN the 80s I made almost 60 thousand but not anymore. Some will come on and say they make that much but just with a 40 hour week, not anymore.
The post wasn't meant to be posted forever. Most visitors know by now.

To the service who posted a job ad on the Main board, the reason your post
was removed is because all job ads are to be posted on the Job Seeker's board. Any "well-deserving MT" knows to look at that forum for that "chance to work for an excellent company and make an excellent line rate". Feel free to post your ad there.
Thank you.
sorry, i didn't read your post before I posted mine...says the same thing, pretty much! :) nm

Now, if someone could post the correct way to insert these smileys. They are so cute! nm

Above post is correct, see link - Ashe disclosed himself...
somebody called the press and leaked the story - but absolutely no identification that it was a healthcare worker. More likely an old ex-girflriend!
"Ashe, who was ranked first in the tennis world in 1968 and 1975, said with some bitterness that he was making his disclosure only because the newspaper USA Today had called him last week and revealed that it was working on a story saying he had AIDS. "
You read my post ABSOLUTELY correct. Supervisors don't need my appreciation nor
do I need their's. We all just want to get paid if you are honest. I don't have time to worry if I am appreciated by MQ. I just want them to pay me for an honest day's work. I guess that shows they like me, they really, really like me. Talk is cheap. I get it all the time from MQ CEO/management, how much I am appreciated. I just want to paid for my time and don't want to hear all the talk. I mean who really cares. So if they appreciate me and don't pay me for my efforts, what do I do with this "appreciation"? Bank it?
I was not answering MT school post but the one that happened to correct an error
they made on a post with this quote "that is verbatim. QAs are only human too." So you can mind your own business and STFU. Answer your own posts if you can't read the ENTIRE THREAD and understand what post my post is RELEVANT too. You are an arrogant QA person BTW who sits in judgement of posters and what is relevant or not. Just MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
I agree, nasty and rude people lately, where are the grownups is correct in a former post.
I agree with all you said. I come here sometimes just to share thoughts, experiences, and to really help others as it helps me to help. There are some unnecessary, hurtful responses on here. The admin cannot police all and she should not be expected to. Have a little consideration, people, we are all in the same lifeboat here. As for leaving the profession, think about it. I have been tempted many times, have tried working in other fields but totally boring after hearing all that I've heard as an MT. I can't read a non-fiction book as it all seems so shallow and ridiculous to me. For too many years I have shared the lives of people on a real, non-fictional basis through my work. It is an interesting and informative profession and even doctors are amazed at how much information I have in this little brain of mine. I have on occasion saved many people in my family (including myself) from unnecessary harm or eary intervention. Please think about it before you leave us. As for this board, I llove it except for the nasty posts, but that's life. As we all know, it takes all kinds. Most people here belong in the helping profession. If they're in it for the money, it shows. Character shows up in the positive posts on here. We are, after all, supposed to be in the helping profession, not the kill or be-killed attitude some have. I would say most of us come in here for knowledge, friendship and just plain sharing. If we have a little laugh once in awhile, it helps, but not when it turns into a cat fight. IMHO, of course! 
Way to go Sharon!
:-)
I think you have the wrong Sharon.

Congrats, Sharon! nm

Oh my goodness, Sharon! sm
I live in Lewisburg, PA too!!! Too funny!
CONGRATULATIONS Sharon!!!!! nm
.
Not a hero? Surely U jest, Sharon!
He's STILL my hero. :)
hahahha love the response. Sharon is an old bag. She is the reason
thanks a lot Sharon
Weird, isn't it? I had two Rose of Sharon bushes, one I bought for my mother
and planted it in her yard. The other I bought for myself and planted it in my yard. My mother passed away in 1993 and my bush died a month later. My father passed away in 1996 and that bush in their yard died a month later. Both passed on in August, 3 years and 5 days from one another. Makes you wonder.
CONGRATS to WINNER Sharon A. of Lewisburg, PA on winning the $50. AmEx Gift Cert.

Do it correct always. It will learn. Everyone has to do it correct all the time. nm

to see if anyone has responded to her
 Just ignore her - maybe she'll go away. Just wants our attention.
Thanks everyone who responded...
Just wanted to thank each and every one of you who took the time to respond and share your experience. Some of you really made me feel calmer about things! Those of you with negative experiences, I still appreciate your input. Again, thanks. I'm going to try it, and we shall see, shall we not? Have a great day everyone. Becky
Thanks to all who responded!
I was glad to hear from everyone on their experiences. You can read and read on something, but there's nothing like hearing from people about their experience with it. It gives me a lot to think about and I'm gonna proceed slowly before doing anything. I'm really hoping something with be found locally, but so far no luck. Again thanks to everyone and HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Thanks to all who responded..

everyone else has responded,
publicly or privately, very nicely and informatively. Only YOU chose to be rude. Now that's what I call S A D.
I'm not the *nm* U just responded to.....SM
I'm not the person you just responded to, I didn't type about you should lighten up. But to defend myself, I didn't call you a name. I asked you a question which was R U an ageist? It was a question with an LOL - I was joking. LOL=laugh out loud. Had I been serious and not joking, no LOL would have appeared.
Again, sorry if I offended you. Wasn't my intent.
thanks to all who responded
 Good info!
Thanks, all who responded - sm
I just had no idea how this all works, although I was told I had to bring my films with me to the onc's office. I've been waffling between "it's probably nothing" and worst case scenario. Will keep you posted
Thank you to all who responded...
I appreciate all the great responses I received. Each one of you have made me feel like this is something that is definitely not out of my reach and have now given so much inspiration to prove to myself that I can do this. I guess, it is true, you can teach an old dog new tricks, ha?!
Also, how many of you are going to school part-time and how long did or will it take you? I have to work so will be going part-time, plus I have a 3-year-old at home and will need to be here for him, too.
That was me you responded to....sm
I could see, Babe, where all that would give you AND ME a splitting headache and is why I use the CPA. My private docs made me sign a contract started a couple of years ago. I don't think they want me as an employee and until the state of Florida tells them differently, I'm praying nothing changes for me on this issue.
Thanks again for your responses and EXPLANATIONS - I do so appreciate all you typed. I will be speaking to my CPA next week due to this issue you brought up and thanks for bringing it to my attention!!!
Thanks to both who responded
Yes, I did weigh all those factors and actually have accepted the job - was just wondering how hard I should fight/how much I should worry about the pay issue. I already feel I have gained much in regard to opportunity, benefits, etc. - is just very big change going from working at home to going back to work in an office setting and so many family/friends seem to think the only thing to make that worthwhile would be more money. I agree that the opportunity is worth more - as you said and I agree, the MT world is changing a great deal right now - at 40 I feel I still have many years of work ahead of me and I don't want to be left behind. Besides, I'm looking forward to the new challenges of learning this "other side" of transcription. However, I did think it would pay a little more (a dollar or two). BUT, as I said, I did weigh all other aspects of the job and felt the benefits outweighed any pay issues questions I had.
Thanks again for your advice and input.
just responded
Sorry I broke another rule....so I guesss I will be not allowed to use MT Stars again tomorrow......just responding to a comment that was made...
