Hi, Phil.

Great to see you here!

Hi Phil! :)

Hey, Phil!!!

This place ain't chopped liver, eh?

LOL! Never out-a line, Philny. ;)

Phil,

I'd say you're not dense enou -- but really, that's never been a problem before. ;)

This is only my second day, so I don't know my way around yet. I'd go for a new picture with higher resolution.

Phil, open your photo with an image editor and find something that says "resize" or something like that. It'll tell you what the current resolution is too. As for this site, I don't see any posted guidelines on photo dimensions. The upload is instant, which is nice, so you can play with your picture till you get it right.

Long time no see! How is life treating you? Live has been good for GA and I. We just got back from California visiting my new grandbaby, CJ, Chris Jr.
Boy time flies,

Diane

you fixed your picture! Much nicer. :)

Phil,

You told Marge, "I think I'm losing my RPR status for being short .1 credit, and I've already had the alloted extension(s) allowed."

You should volunteer for the Veterans History Project. You only have to transcribe one interview, which will probably be 30-60 minutes long, and you'll receive your .1 CEU. No charge. Just the postage required to return the CD or cassette tape and hard copy printout of your transcript. The interviews are usually interesting, and then you'll keep your membership for another three years.

Hi, Phil:
Glad you found your way over to CSRnation. Can I be your friend? Please, please, please! LOL!!!

Gee, thanks, Phil!

Hey Phil! Man, you keep me YOUNG!,,,I'm impressed with your career and what you have managed to pack into that head of yours, and pleased to say that I wish I had 10% of what you know,,,,I'm 53,, a bit behind you, but getting going in steno,and love it,, my fingers and my nerve endings say it CAN be done!
Anyway, pleased to meet you, hope we can chat from timme to time.

Phil:
I just picked up the blank spots (dropped words) and spaces (ad lib phrases) and figgered out that you are probably the best at what you do, and that I need to share time learning what you know. If you drop out or out of "full time" of Steno, then, how do I learn from you?
I have always wanted to do this all my life. What can you tell me?
thanks again, your new buddy
Dale

Phil! haven't talked to you in too long. HI! :)

I saw that one! I can just see what will happen. Someone will say it -- and I'll freeze thinking, "What was that in Phil's briefs??"

hehe

I just sent you a message, but I don't see that it went to you. I was asking about the .rtf. Did you get it?

Also what's weird is your main page always comes up as my page when I sign on.

Hey, Phil. How you doing?

Sounds like you have your hands full with that brilliant boy of yours! LOL Planning for retirement doesn't sound like such a bad thing though. ;)
For a private message, click the little envelope under my picture on my page where it says "Send a Message."

Yea, she gave us a list of questions to ask, more questions about your job rather than transcript and software questions. The point of the assignment is to interview a freelance reporter, federal reporter, and a captionist. Then lastly decide whether or not to choose captioning or judicial reporting. (I personally already know that I want to be a judicial reporter) But I'm doing the assignments and I think that it would be good to learn more about it. I am about 110 words per minute, but by the end of this semester I will be at 160. I'm in the third class, after this I have two more and then I graduate. I'm taking classes from SUNY Alfred in Alfred, NY. I went there for my first year, then moved here to be with my husband as he is in the military...so I am finishing my remaining classes online. I actually have all of my classes done for my degree except two more court reporting classes and my internship. I am learning the Realwrite/Realtime theory.

Yes it does, so much. Thank youu! One more question for you...what crudentials do you have?

Hi Phil,
I'm making the move to becomming a scopist. But it's a move that is just in its infancy. I see that you're a court reporter, and I know we don't have any CR schools here in Honolulu. But perhaps you could shoot me a message with a bit about scopistry, if you have some info that might be helpful to me as I'm defining this potential profession for myself.
Thanks much,
Karyl
