    That's a redfish. This is the fish from Louisiana that started all of the blackening of fish, chicken, meat, etc. Some of them get up to 50 pounds or more and they taste GREAT!
  • Michelle DeSanti

    And I think your pics of your dogs and kids are super cute!

    Hi, Michele.

    Hi Michele -- At this point, there is no certification for the state of South Carolina. If you want to do Freelance, you can come and start working the day you get here. If you want to work in the state court system, you will need to pass the State exam that they give, which is 180 Lit, 200 Jury, 225 Q and a WKT. Keep me posted would love to get to know you.
  • Brenda Sigwald

    It's certainly not as cold here as it is in PA!!
  • Kim Gibney

    Hey Michele, How long did you take off from court reporting? Are you working now or preparing? My mentor took off time to be a mom and is now an official and has been, I think, for the last ten year. I think that's awesome. If I ever pass this test I don't think I'll stray because I certainly don't want to have to do this again. :)
  • Shirley Hall

    Hi, Michele. Glad to hear you're back reporting again. I haven't been on the PCRA board for quite a while, but that could have been where we met. Will you be working on your own, for one of the agencies, or in the courtroom?
  • Rhoda Collins

    Hi Michele,
    I am originally from PA...Smethport. My son is in Indiana, PA. I always liked Pittsburgh. I just started reporting last June. Welcome back!!

    Hi Michele!
    Here is a link to the Kansas CCR application. It should contain everything you need! If you have your PA CCR, you might be able to get one in KS without taking the exam, assuming PA has a simliar exam.

    Good luck!

    Your dogs are so cute! I have a GS girl named Teeka, and two Labs, Jake and Timber. :)
  • Sherry Ruschell

    Hi, Michele. I'm actually from your area also. I was born and raised in Weirton and commuted to court reporting school at Duff's. I've been in Atlanta for 20 years, though. Good to see you (and your dogs) on CRNation.
  • Sabrina Nelson

    Both of my cats were strays too. I think they just pick their people :) I noticed that you have a garden picture. I love to garden! It really relaxes me, especially after being in school!
  • Angela Sewell

    Florida doesn't require certification as of now. The FCRA has been pushing for it for years but as of right now it's not required.
  • Scott Huseby

    Hi Michele, just got your message, sorry about that. I'm new to blogging! Are you still interestedin NC or SC?
  • Cecilia E. Rodriguez

    Welcome back to court reporting. I raised my kids most of the way then started reporting. It's been a great profession.
  • Carrie Snodgrass

    Hi, Michele, Bradenton is south of here on I75. Brandon is about eight miles east of Tampa. If you're ever in the area, visiting, let me know, and we'll have lunch.
