  Question too for Simon...I can reply to topics on here but I can't seem to find the new topic button. Am I missing something? Did it move?

  it's 1am and i'm halfway through a glass of brandy.

  i've been cleaning out the closet (literally), and reminiscing about old times and decisions i didn't make.

  it's times like these i regret being brought up as a witness the most.

  Thank you so much for that. I just found out that my boyfriend of three years has had a girlfriend for three years. I busted him in the petrol station parking lot totally by random. I found the strength to talk to her, to make him go away at that point and find out the answers I needed to know.

  I don't know how I'll get to the front of the train right now as I can barely move at all but perhaps I can start soon.

  Please wish me all the light and love you can spare.

  "You knew what the consequences were when YOU decided to leave The Truth. This is YOUR decision and the outcome is YOUR responsibility."

  how many of us have had to deal with a version of that retort?!

  it's hurtful and i suspect - for some - that's partly because of the nagging feeling that our families may have a point.. but do they?.

  i was 15 when i got baptised, is it reasonable that as the 50 year old man i'll be on my next birthday i continue to be held to a decision i made as a schoolboy?.

  I often said to my family, would you let your kid get married at 15? Then why in the world would you let them make such a "huge" decision like getting baptised. Doesn't make a bit of sense.

  I think it is correct that most of these publications end up in the rubbish. When my Grammy passed away a few months ago, I hauled armloads of old mags to the dumpster. I couldn't even be bothered to take them to get recycled.

  Okay, men...here is a question for you. Are you intimidated by beauty AND intelligence? Would you feel insecure?

  again, i apologize to any who think i may be going overboard posting these letters, but i am hoping that i can help prepare others for the type of bombardment that they may face when dealing with mentally diseased witness parents who have no idea just how much control this cult has over them:.

  august 19, 2013. dear <my name removed> & <my wifes name removed>, .

  i had the privilege of attending the convention this weekend for a second time and i must say that i enjoyed it more than the first.

  Thanks for all of your interest in my profession...it's something that you see on the telly but really don't think much about until you actually meet a reporter....that's my experience anyway.

  Keeping track of things...well, you have to be on your game. I'm pretty old school in that I don't use audio backup hardly at all. When I first began having a tape recorder was verboten. Then laptops came along and our softward has a recording option, and now our machines even can audio record. I definitely can see the benefit of having it, but if there is too much reliance on it, you're in trouble if that audio fails. You better be getting it regardless. I rarely stop people unless I absolutely have to. I find that it interrupts the flow and attorneys get frustrated.

  Band, you are right. Reporters were mostly male years ago. They were trained in the military most of them....however, it started to shift in the 80s when women started training, and now it's mainly looked at as predominantly female profession. Far fewer men! I was planning on going to law school myself and even finished my degree. But honestly, when I looked at the cost of law school and what I would be making as a new attorney, it came up as thousands of dollars less.

  I can tell you all that this profession pays well. It's one of the few that you can have without a four-year degree. However, the process to get here is not easy. Only 10 percent of people enrolled in court reporting programs actually finish. You have to be dedicated completely. But if you're successful and you're willing to work hard, your efforts will pay off. The good thing about this profession is you can work at home doing captioning, freelance or court work. It's pretty flexible.

  If you have any questions, let me know..or PM me.

  Thanks!

  Vid...thanks for asking. My grandmother recently passed away in June and it's been difficult for me. My father was just diagonsed with terminal cancer, and to top it off, my boyfriend of three years wants to break up with me again. (Don't ask :) So, yes, I am rather weary.

  But I am trying to look at the positive. Sometimes it's difficult. I get so down. Funny how you could pick that up on the video without even knowing me!

  Thanks...and thanks for the link, Cofty. Wing, you're near me???? That's awesome!

  To answer your question, the steno machine works phonetically, so there are a zillion combinations...with 22 keys and each of them can be pressed individually or simultaneously. You have "brief forms" which encompasses a bunch of words into one stroke, such as, please state your name? I would write that in one stroke using multiple keys...my computer software is programmed to the way I write, so it comes out in readable English. It's really like another language!

  Another court reporter on here...you made it through..I wish I could leave but I can't find another profession that pays what I make now.
