You Could Say "Me" is the Pot Calling the Kettle Black.
Gee, now am I racist or do I just have a hatred for cooking ware? 
I agree except you're the pot calling the kettle black.....
"I wonder what you're work looks like"............It is your work, not you're as that is short for you are. If you use the contraction, that means you are saying "I wonder what you are work looks like.
Look at the pot calling the kettle black - I am not fighting wth you. I more mature than that. sm
Besides everyone has their own opinions. Glad I got to see yours.
Imagine, the class you have. This is like the pot calling the kettle black
Your post saying: you have no breeding whatsoever. You sound like a gross, subliterate redneck to me. So kindly remove the beam from your own eye before you look for the speck in someone else's. :D :D
Black widows are shiny black, females have red spot
There aren't many males around. After the mate, the females eat them lol.
We have black widows galore here in Calif. I actually keep frogs in my yard (provide ponds for them) and they have made a big impact on the insect population.
Remember to always wear shoes (something I try to do).
Well said! Pot and Kettle

Pot, meet kettle. Your posts are all over the board. sm
...just because they are responding, and probably not even as vocal as you've been on here. That just reduces any point you were trying to make to shreds, sounding juvenile and defensive instead of engaging in reasonable debate -- but worst of all, acting like you are superior and somehow smarter than all the rest of us when most of us have known all about this big "news flash" of yours for years now. You say you wouldn't hate others for what they believe in, but when someone spoke up saying they like ASR, you insulted her by saying she must not have been a fast typist then. ASR isn't going away, no matter how many people quit MQ citing that as a reason. Many times, it's not even the MTSOs who sell doctors on ASR - there are companies out there courting the doctors, pumping them up with sales talk about how great it is and how much time/money they'll save. THOSE are the ones the rest of us are aiming at, and wisely so. Think about it, do you think the MTSOs like it when clients go to ASR and lower the rate they are paying the MTSO?? If the MTSO also sells the equipment, maybe. Otherwise, doubtful. It's new technology and MTs must adapt for now, as chances are good it will flame and then fizzle out. MANY, many doctors have already tried it years back, hated it, and returned to traditional dictation. As you've been told, this is NOT a new development so it's not that people don't care; they just aren't as urgently impressed by the rants since it's old news. It lurked on the horizon for a long time before it ever actually hit the shelves and a lot of us researched it prior to it actually being utilized.
Yes, there are plenty of issues that are pulling MTs everywhere down. Offshoring is one of them. Has been for years. ASR/VR is one of them. Has been for YEARS. Maybe this is news to you, but again, most of us have known about these things and been proactive about/against them for YEARS by not accepting lower rates and not offshoring or working for companies that do.
I will reiterate, though, that one of the biggest issues dragging MTs through the mud is something that is perfectly fixable - the BEHAVIOR of some MTs. Unprofessional, juvenile behavior is not considered a desirable quality in any employee. Lack of work ethic and false sense of entitlement are two more traits that are not desirable in an employee. Someone who has only been in the business for a few years but thinks they know more than MTs who worked on manual typewriters is yet another undesirable. MTSOs read this board all the time and take note of these things, and when certain names come up on resumes, they go immediately to the circular file, if you know the flavor of THAT Kool-Aid.
kettle corn is great, easy to make, and you can spice it up...
and there are pretzels, potato chips, veggie chips. you can quickly roast any kind of nut and spice or sweeten them up. I use sucranat for sugar, or turbanado, anything not bleached.
yummy fruit, fresh or frozen.
lots of things you can do...
Black lab here too,
She looks black to me.

She LOOKS black...
But so does OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson (well, not since he bleached his skin)...
Where is Black, MO?
I'm a Missourian too!
black widows
LOL, a creature of the underworld? I sure hope you are kidding. A black widow, as all spiders, are very much needed. They eat other bugs. Most spiders are harmless and black widows do not stray from their web very far. You can put a black widow in your hand and it will not bite you unless you pushed its head down on your hand.
Black at wedding
Black is stylish and I love it. I would suggest not wearing black stockings, etc. Do you have any bright colors you could add such as a cloth rose (very stylish)or some bright jewelry to offset the black. Try a thrift store for a bright bag or shoes. I just did that and found a pretty pink bag with black trim for a couple of dollars. That should offset the black. Just try not to go "totally black" but if you have to, so be it. Just wear a "smile" and have a great time! Life is temporary, enjoy it.
Black Hole
Hi - If you would care to email me personally I would be happy to speak with you. We strive to follow through on everything, and we know the importance of experienced MTs so we do try to make them happy with the account/accounts they are working on. Please feel free to email me.
Thanks.

dressing in black
Don't worry about it. My sister wore black for 15 years when she was teenager and throughout her 20s; one of my nieces starting wearing black when she was in junior high. The niece is an RN and neither of them has ever done anything weird or satanic in their lives.
Some people love black - personally, I avoid it like the plaque, don't even buy black shoes or purses.

Try RealSimple.com. This is a marvelous website for anything you might want to know.
Buy Nothing Day (Black Friday)
movement started in the Pacific Northwest, so I celebrate Buy Nothing Day by buying nothing.
My mom used to do that (1970s) with a black wig - sm
She would wear it a lot when my parents went out. She also had a fall of long black hair. I have them both now, though I don't use them, keeping them more for sentimental reasons now.

I believe cottonmouths are black, though not sure on that - sm
and copperheads have a distinct head as do most poisonous snakes (triangular/diamond shape). Copperhead bite is not fatal by any means and usually not even treated with any antivenom....dogs around here just get treated with antibiotics. Cottonmouths are very aggressive and from the sounds of it, it is not cottonmouth.
Black character......
means any black mark (typed character) seen on the page. Sneaky way of saying you are not being paid for spaces - which just boggles my mind..........
Obviously you're black, right? LOL
So the criers should shutup too, then, right? Just let people get away with whatever they want and don't call them out for fear or stifling their "right" to freedom of speech when they spew hate. Sure, and I was born yesterday and race is not an issue in America. Wake up, it's alive and well, as we can see on this board. How sad this rears it's ugly head here. Surprised, nope.
She probably would not even know black strap as in
molasses, she is from the ghetto and lack of education, as she cannot even spell her children's names…she says words like skrimps for shrimp, a funeral comes out fumeral, oh no just being on the edge of borderline competency.
ColorFax by Black Ice s/m
I had a problem with WinFax not working with several programs and freezing up. I tried ColorFax and now do not have any problems.

Ah, yes, our token black woman.
Sorry, but Condi is about as black as OJ Simpson...
Black on the outside and white on the inside...
Black cherry juice
Is black cherry juice good for arthritis?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Black pepper very bad for arthrtis.

Do not get sucked into the black hole -
MDI is not as great as they want everyone to believe and as far as the OP goes, her word is very "questionable" to say the least.
They never, never follow through with what they say they are going to do!
Black vanity sink
What is it made of? Marble, granite, synthetic? I would go to MarthaStewartLiving.com to look for an answer.
check out Black Friday ads
Just read an article in the paper about this site.
Actually, there are many left, both black and white.
God Bless them all.
CMs are olive, brown or black - not in NC, but in SC - sm
look it up on Google and you will get some sites which show pictures. Maybe you can identify it that way.
Yes, as below and throw in some black olives
Looking for black keyboard that letters don't rub off.
Been through several, haven't found one yet that numbers didn't rub off. I have this one approximately 2 weeks from Logitec and I can see signs already where the letters and faiding.

Not a black or white thing
Am white, use reckon and fixin to, these are just southern expressions I grew up with. So funny told hubby I was gonna take my bath- he said well that was really rude. My grandson piped up and said everyone in his family took a bath. What a laugh that got! I told hubby the other day not gonna do something, just like beating a dead horse and spinning my wheels, no use. Gosh I wish I could think of more but mind is sorta blank on these at this time.
Visible black characters (VBC)
As of the recent AHDI/AAMT annual meeting, it appears that the method of line-counting known as VBC (visible black characters) is becoming a trend.
All MTs should read the following report from Perspectives in HIM, February 14, 2007.
http://library.ahima.org/xpedio/groups/public/documents/ahima/bok1_034023.html
To summarize: counting by VBC results in a 31.5% reduction in line count, compared to the traditional 65-line (with spaces) count.
Thus, to avoid a pay cut, any MT now earning 9 cpl should be raised to 11.8 cpl if line counting is switched to VBC.
This is a critical issue, and it does not appear that AHDI is taking any action to promote fair pay for MTs under VBC compensation plans.
red and yellow, black and white--OK
Type as dictated. Oriental male and black male are both acceptable phrases.
Oriental, Caucasian, Filipino, Hispanic, Latino, etc., are all names of peoples/races and should be capitalized.
Color designations of race and ethnicity are not capitalized: black, white.
See BOS 2nd Edition for more information: pgs 366-367, 202, 70.
Are you sure she didnt mean strap, like black

There was a posting regarding a black list
The poster was having a hard time finding employment because she had a disagreement with her supervisor and got fired. I was having the same problem (although I quit and didn't get fired) so I removed them from my resume. Guess what? I start a new job (outside the home and NOT transcription) next week. I'm excited to be inching my way out of this business. The money in transcription sucks and I'm tired of paying my own taxes, insurance, etc. Bye ya'll.
so is there such thing as a black list?
I just got "cut loose" and I was only with them for two weeks. I had never used escription/editscribe and that was mainly only thing I was struggling with. I was finally I think getting it and I have two years experience in transcription. Is it legal for a company you sign wi6ht to only give you two weeks? Always thought they were suppose to give someone a month. Especially if you have never used the platform/software and never really got any good training on it. I have put resumes out for many companies needing help and I have not heard anything back. Is there such thing as a black list if so how do I see or find out if my name is on it? If anyone knows how please let me know thanks!
there is an advantage having black snakes
in the basement, as they eat rodents. So keep this in mind.
What do you prefer? Rodents or black snakes?
I just hate both, but if I had to choose I would choose the black snake.
black tea has just a tiny bit of caffeine, to help in weaning...

Black is the color worn to funerals.
To wear black to a wedding is to imply that the marriage is doomed to fail or that you don't approve of the marriage. You shouldn't wear white either as that's the bride's color.
Then again, what do I care? Etiquette schmetiquette. I never did like etiquette "rules" anyways. Who makes up these things? And why didn't I get contacted to vote on the rules? It's after Labor Day, and I am still wearing my white shoes. Silly Victorian traditions that make no sense at all. As if we are somehow gauche or less of a person if we don't do what someone else tells us to do.
dress in black and ugly jewely
A moldy leather purse, black with different
colored "patches" on it. Something like a 90-YO would carry. I figured she found it while going through her garage. She lived 4 states away so I didn't have to put on an act.
Then there was the time my DH gave me some nightgowns, which I needed, but he bought 2X and I'm a medium.
