Has anyone ever been to Saint Simons.  If so, please share the place you enjoyed staying at.  We are going the last week in September and can't figure out where we want to stay. The places on the beach are either too high or one, Sea Gate Inn, has some pretty bad reviews.  We don't know whether we want to try it anyway or stay in the village.  The prob is since we won't actually be getting in the beach that time of year, I would sort of like to stay on the beach so we could walk on it at night, etc.  Thanks.

I make mistakes in posts from time to time.  I am just disappointed and frustrated by the "holier than thou" attitudes of working MTs and then they don't even use proper grammar in their posts.  I don't want this to turn into a negative thread.  What companies hire experienced MTs and actually care about grammar?

Just saying "It is too hard to change" and "the company is making me poor/homeless/stressed etc is a cop-out. Get proactive and help yourself. And those that do play into the poor victim routine do not help fellow MTs, they just perpetuate the idea that MTs can do nothing to help their own situation.

I think since these people also have a transcription service, no one should expect an instant response.  Besides, it's more about giving than getting anyway.
