where there is smoke there is fire and these lawsuits are pretty much backed up by SEC.

Fraudulent billing, books that are cooked, are not claims that are made frivilously and are not accepted into a court of law without some merit. Watch and see. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it may be a duck. Apply that to everyone who deals with MQ involved in a lawsuit against them, MTs, Shareholders and Clients. Plus the delisting by SEC. Mighty suspicious huh? Not just one person or entity but three different ones - PLUS SEC.

Maybe it's time to fight fire with fire.
I find cherrypicking an absolutely deplorable practice. That being said, perhaps it's time we set aside our integrity (believe me, I know how hard it will be to do) and send back reports also. We are penalized for our experience and dedication. You can be sure a cherrypicker's paycheck looks a lot better than ours. I think it's time we whine and cry about bad dictators and send a HUGE message to corporate by refusing to do them.
Your premise is not backed up...
...by the reality of human history on this planet nor by any statistics. Your God sounds capricious and like a being that plays favorite. You petition your lord with prayer so you gain rewards? Show me where he has bestowed favors on those who mouth his name most frequently? I see bad things happening to all people at times and good things happening to all people at times. To think you will be cosmically favored because you worship the "right" God is not backed up by anything that has occurred in this world.
I think the most Christians can gain from prayer and worship is a happier, more fulfilling life. Why is that not enough in itself?
There are several lawsuits
against MQ. Has to do with financial issues. They were under federal investigation and kicked off the stock exchange. This happened about a year or so ago. A hospital in Florida has a suite against them regarding financial issues. It has to do with their way of counting lines, and hospital claims they were cheated out of millions. This was all big news a year or so ago.
I have worked part time for MQ for almost 2 years and I am also happy. I think it is possible they may get bought out at some point, depending on how the lawsuits go. Every so often someone posts here and its like mass hysteria and panic, but nothing ever happens. This is old news to most of us.
MQ-6 lawsuits
are there not 6 lawsuits against MQ?? are they all still pending??? i thought there was the lawsuit brought by the MT's, then 2 by hospitals, one by the woman who lost her job because she brought up the issue of sending medical records offshore, one form the state of MA and i thought another one
has any of these been settled?????
I AM the seller.. does it mean the buyer backed out??

Medikin is expensive if you ask me. I tried it and backed out.

Upbeat the lawsuits for MQ please.
Thanks.
Upbeat the fact MQ was guilty enough to be delisted from trading on the stock market please.
Thanks.
Upbeat the fact that while MQ pays us, w/o us MQ would not be paid.
Thanks.
NOW, upbeat the fact that you can be boorish to other posters and lots of people don't like your attitude, upbeat that it may be.
Thanks.
Now comment on MQ business practices.
Thanks.
lawsuits have not affected my job
and probably never will. Lawsuits do not impune guilt any more than your comments do. Being delisted had nothing to do with guilt, but lack of certain paperwork being filed in a timely fashion, which also has a logical explanation, not that you care. Their billing problems are small in comparison to the company as a whole. Their business practices are great. How many other companies have people begging their jobs back? How many have employees for 10-15 yr or more? Maybe happy MQ'ers irritate you, but there are a lot more of us!!
yes its that one, it also says many lawsuits are pending
Is no one alarmed by this??
Should add.....now I need to get other things backed up, i.e., expanders, templates, etc. nm
xx
I see thru that big ole elephant and around it as do the people involved in lawsuits and SEC.
Very upbeat about MQ being FORCED to comply by law enforcement.
Fact: You didn't mention the lawsuits again.
New MT Class Action lawsuit (Myers v. MQ, 10/05/05) ... of course still pending:

Shareholder derivative lawsuit (Kanter v. Barella, MQ named 'nominal defendant,' filed 11/12/04) ... dismissed:
http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=MEDQ&script=411&layout=-6&item_id=763934 ........ (interestingly, no original press release on this one ... maybe because filed against Philips and MQ only named 'nominal defendant,' so why bother?)
Don't you worry about all the lawsuits for downloading music?
My kids love to download, but once the law suits started against the computer owners I cut it out completely. I know they love music, I do myself, so share with me please, don't you worry about getting "caught?"
I am part of three class action lawsuits.
Franklin-Templeton mutual fund apparently committed fraud while I was invested with them, Fen-Phen (the doctor's office notified me; sheduled me for a carotid ultrasound and had me come to a Radisson Hotel to meet with the attorneys) and MQ which I never really heard from but read about and this fraud took place while I worked there...
Bottom line is people should really not be getting money out of other peoples' pockets by fraudulent means.
Life's full of situations where you're backed into a corner
a winner thinks outside the box and takes a chance rather than be ASSURED of a life-time of misery.
You're the type of people who live in the same town their whole life even when there are no jobs and complain that they're unemployed.
Complacency will get you nowhere, neither will whining about having no money when there are other options but you refuse to look into them.
Your employer may be partially responsible for the trouble in your life right now but the only person keeping you in this mess is you.
I use Oriental Trading Comp. too, but I am crunched for time since other mom backed out on me! Thank

Personally, I think lawsuits only give lawyers more money

We're at 19 1/2 years, and this week he already backed brownies and ironed a shirt for me!

Tell him to smoke outside.
That way, he still gets his way, but you don't have to smell it in your house.
I used to smoke but..
I used Zyban. I will be smoke free for 8 years in April. But it is scary how for some those medications end up causing such horrible effects.
blowin smoke
Yep, AL the way to the bank.
Depends what you smoke.
aaa
Smoke at your computer? I believe it. I still do.

What I did about the C-phone and smoke. sm
I have to go out of town next week so I got a few small trash bags and put in a Yankee Candle Car Jar, and wrapped it back up tight, as well as with the instruction manual. I'll leave it in there for a week and hopefully that will take it away. I did use rubbing alcohol on the C-phone too and oh gosh, you wouldn't believe how much yellow junk came off from the smoke, especially from the parts that are covered with clear plastic. It smelled up my entire room for a while and I'm still getting whiffs of it every now and then. Thank you everybody for your help and suggestions. I spent $187 on this and I did expect better, or at least a blurb in the auction that it came from a smoker's home.
I think I'm pretty bright and pretty good, too, but
I am not a CMT. I am a medical transcriptionist who enjoys her job very much (most days). I have chosen not to pursue certification simply because I cannot afford to do so. I believe the certification is a nice thing to have, but I don't believe it is necessary for employment or for excellence in my job. If you can afford it, go for it. If you can't, don't feel too bad. You can still take pride in and do a very good job without it. 
Someone's blowing smoke up your computer with
unsubstantiated statements.
smoke free for 2 1/2 months
Yes I quit 10 weeks ago. I used the patch for 5 weeks, chewed a lot of gum, chewed on straws, even pretended to smoke a straw sometimes, hey it helped!! As motivational tricks, I printed out pictures of smoke damaged lungs and put them on my wall! I also printed out all the benefits of quitting and hung them in every room. I had smoked a pack a day for 14 years. My significant other still smokes, so if I can quit, you probably can too! I don't even want one now. Oh yeh-drink water! Hope this helps somebody. :)
How many of you smoke while working? See message.
Please don't post about the evils of smoking, etc., just looking for a yes or no.
She didn't smoke cigarettes
She actually smoked cigars!
Looking for a cigarette smoke detector (sm)
My mother lives with us and has gotten into the habit of sneak smoking in the back bathroom. She thinks we can't smell it. Have a granddaughter with asthma and I am very particular about smoke in the house.
I thought if I had a detector that would buzz when she lit up that would encourage her to go outside like my husband does.
I have tried talking to her about smoke smells in there when I have washed down the wallpaper and cleaned rugs/shower curtains down. The smell clings to that wallpaper like glue. She simply denies that anyone smokes in there. She keeps multiple candles in there and thinks she is "covering up the smell".
Any suggestions on a device that might be useful is appreciated.
C-phone & cigarette smoke
I just bought a C-phone off of eBay. I unpack it and it smells like smoke, something bad. I'm a non-smoker. How do I get this smell out? If I had known it was owned by a smoker, I wouldn't have purchased it. The auction didn't say one way or another, so I figured I was safe.
Yuck. Please help! Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Febreeze isn't working so far and I'm sitting here smelling this. Gross.
Talk about blowing smoke, ha.
Even the ones on here who are reading these listings, not all want to join in the revolution. I for one love my job, don’t intend on putting my neck on the chopping block for others just because someone is not as happy or content as me. Ridiculous to even think so.
Really? Can you explain why or are you just blowing smoke out your butt again?
x
Yes - smoke 1-1/2 packs per day. Tried and tried to quit to no avail.
I enjoy my nicotine - sad to say.
Fire in AZ
Are you near Payson, I do recall a couple years back, we were there looking for property and when we got back to SoCal the whole area was on fire, is that a yearly thing there?
Silver Lining: I ran out of money and I'm smoke free
six days with no smokes...also, lost about ten pounds on an involuntary diet. It's amazing what you can cut out when you're broke...
Aw, you don't have to be a "pothead" to smoke pot at one concert. I hadn't smoked for 30
and haven't since, but they passed joints around at that concert and I toked, and it was fun. My brain is far from lame. :)
Just a reminder to change your smoke alarm batteries nm
It definately helped me. From the first dose I took I had no urge at all to smoke.
Unfortunately though I had a bad reaction to the medication and had to stop it after only a few days. I should say though that the reaction I had to the Wellbutrin had absolutely nothing to do with a side effect, but rather it exacerbated a prior medical problem I had. It's definately worth a try IMO.
I would get an attorney to fire off a ...
letter. I have had to do that several times in the past (not MT related), and it is amazing how quickly things are resolved. It has only cost me $35 to explain the situation to the attorney and have a short letter sent. I think it would be well worth it in your case...$35 vs. $1300.
Also, be sure to send the letter certified, return receipt requested. Even though that is only to obtain proof of delivery, there seems to be something "official" about it...and that can't hurt.
If you are the supervisor why not fire her? If she
isn't carrying her share of the load and was switched from a different department for the same why is she still there?
Curious, did Dog speak at the AAMT convention & if so what did he say? Don't smoke crack?
k
Make her smoke outside, especially with an asthmatic in the house. Never allowed smokers in our
s
Thank you...truly trial by fire but once you get over it you're stronger. nm

FIRE THE CHERRY PICKERS
They ought to track down your email and find out who you are and fire your arse!!!!
whoa, let me put out the fire while it's still small (sm)
I don't want him to be like so many of the child stars we have all heard of...I simply was asking about print ads, commercials, stuff like that. He's as cute as any kid I've seen in the Macy's catalog or on the Mott's Apple Juice commercials. And he is chock full of charisma...and too, I'm just ASKIN'! Slow down on the flames, please...there's only one of ME to fight the fire!
Yes, I used to live and work there! Fire away
with any questions! 
I got a fire alarm dictation too!
That is a RIOT! The one in my ear sounded just like the "Enterprise" going to red alert...and the dude just kept right on dictating but thankfully he pretty much screamed his dictation and successfully overpowered the "bwooop, bwooop, bwooop!" of the alarm.
I'd be worried about fire issues... (n/msg)

Great balls of fire! sm
The most I EVER got was maybe 250 lph, and that was including headers, etc., and a word Expander like PC Shorthand. Course I was always a sluggish typist, never the fastest by any means! Just couldn't do that....I depended on my experience and my word expander.
Talk about blowing smoke! No one, not one MQ MT has "joined" the class action suit.
Its not even up to that point yet. We will be notified and given the legal options via the legal system. So, if you claim you "joined it", you joined nothing - just gave your name to the laywers. Nothing more, so get over yourself. If there is nothing more to pursue after discovery, you won't be joining anything!
