Hello and welcome.

Hi Brenda,

Glad to see you joined the site. I love it it's so much fun and better than MySpace I think.

Have a happy New Year!

Hiya teach!

Hi Brenda,
I'm thinking of relocating and one of the states is S.C. and I wanted to know whay kind of certifications are required. I'd appreciate it if you would let me know,
Thanks so much.

Hi Brenda,
Thanks for getting backto me so quickly. I think I would want to stay with freelance work. My family and I love the Carolinas and we've been thinking about it. I'll keep in touch and you do the same.

Thanks again,
Michele

Hi Brenda,
Thought I would just pop over here and "meet" some new people!! I went to CR school for 3 years, but then changed my major to scoping. Please let me know if there is anything you need! I'm on Case CATalyst.

Hi Brenda,

I just sent you a private e-mail!! Thank you so much for passing on my information. It is VERY much appreciated!

Hi Brenda!! Yes, the rumors are true!! I keep meaning to come back there and talk with you and see everyone but I seriously have not even had a second. This training process is pretty intense but has been AMAZING! I have also been able to keep my part-time job so I have been super busy.

I will actually be working as a court reporter in about a month. I guess I got too impatient but I think the real thing that just sold me was watching the new version of software (Audioscribe version9) in action. This stuff is amazing. I had no idea voice recognition was where it is at.

I am so grateful I went through the training at tech. It gave me such a good grasp of how to create a deposition transcript and I would recommend it for anyone regardless of which direction they choose.

Hope to be by there soon to see everyone! It has been a crazy 2008 with all of theses changes.

Take care,
Wendy

Hey! I got those pictures of my sweet baby on here now! :)

Hey Brenda! Ok, aren't we all a bit obsessed if we have our own internet club!!!! See you Monday!

You think I should create a group for Midlands Tech? I can do it so it's by invite only and we can invite all the current students. Not sure it's worth it but I see there is an option on here for me to do that.

Your page looks cute! I'm glad you are in the MTC group now. I was worried it wouldn't work! PHEW!

I was reading Susan's comments on her page and say your comment, Glad you're hear. That's great. I'm going to pick on you now. Mooohahahahahahaha

Saw....whoops. Bad karma

Hope you feel better soon!!

Great!! glad you got joined up ok!

This is a court reporters myspace. ha! Get back in bed Mrs. F-L-U!!! Hope you feel better!

i can't imagine what they'll do! ;)

I am so glad you are feeling better!! See you tomorrow!

By the way Hunter is walking now and I think I have lost 2 pounds! hee hee. He looks so cute though!

This was taken at the Grand Canyon. It was amazing to watch the colors changing every second.

Hey, how are you. I guess this counts as practice time. I really miss u guys. See you all in about two weeks. :%

Hey. I would have called you this morning. I figured Misty would tell you, but I talked to her later this afternoon and she said she didn't make it in. Hunter woke me up last night at 3am with a seal bark cough, which I knew was croup. Thank god I had some left over pulmicort and that worked wonders. I had a terrible sore throat. Anyway, I thought I was gonna have to take him to see the doc today, but thank god I didn't. They said I did just as they would have directed me too. Anyway, hopefully me and Sara Belle will be up there tommorrow so I can get my lab in. Missed you guys today!! Luv ya

I promise we didn't skip together to go shopping hah. I didn't get ANY sleep last night at all. I maybe got 1 full hour in. I listened to that test anxiety tape and I think it had the reverse effect on me because I definitely did not have a restful sleep like the woman said I would! .. and it didn't help that Nicole was texting me at 3 a.m. :).

In my defense... my 3am texting was a mistake. I thought it was 6 am! My mom got one at three too from me! Oops!!! I did get my little man feeling better though! That croup sound scares me!

You must really love us getting up at 4am every morning! ;) See you tomorrow!

Hi, Brenda.... nice to hear from another reporter/biker....:)
Down here in TX says "Ride to Live; Live to Ride!!!"

I'm finished . I will c u n a week

Hi Brenda,

how are you? haven't heard from you in a while. How's the teaching coming along? Hope all is well!

Yay! I have a friend now!

I saw a tornado warning was in Aiken on Saturday. Misty and I were taking cover and thinking about you!! And we heard on the radio that night that there was a curfew in Aiken. The alarm service came on and said the curfew had been lifted??? What was all that about??? We were worried.

I know!! I missed ya'll too! Mom is sick with that junk I had. Except hers is a little worse. And of course it fell on the morning Mark was coming off night shift. I will be there on Weds though!! Glad everything is okay. I was worried.

Hey Ms. Siggy, just got on wanted to say hey and the websige seem to be neat.

Hi, Brenda! I haven't really investigated this site yet, just signed up to get started. I've heard your name mentioned many times. It sounds like you're doing a great job preparing students for the exciting world of court reporting. I absolutely love my job! I'm a mask reporter and have been with the state a little over two years. There was a reporter, Elaine Hawes, that observed the death penalty trial in Beaufort I was on. Is she your student? That was a good trial to observe as a reporter...pretty much gave her an overview, I think, of exhibits, q & a, et cetera. I enjoyed meeting her and she sent the greatest thank you note to me! Thanks for emailing me. I added you to my friends. I'll have to work on my page! Look forward to meeting you! Jo

If you make the convention, be sure to look for me and I will look for you. I'd love to meet you! I'll try to upload a photo or two so you'll know what I look like. Are you responsible for this music I'm hearing through my headphones? It sounds kind of like the Eagles, but I don't know the song. Maybe "Rock yourself to Sleep?"

My future husband and I were dating at the time, around 1970-71 and he got us tickets at the USC colliseum for a "Yes" concert and somehow got center, front-row tickets!!! Yes, he impressed me! Anyway, the opening band that was traveling with them was"The Eagles!!"
They blew us away. We had never heard of them before then. I remember we went back to a party his friends were having at USC and told them that "Yes" was great, but the first band was even better! I've loved them since! I'll have to check out their new CD! I like what I heard! Jo

Hi Brenda,

Hope you are doing well. I was just in GA last week. On Thursday, we decided to drive up to SC & NC. We went to Rock Mountain Park. I don't know if you know where that is, but as i was there I thought of you and said to myself that I should have told you that I was going to be there so like that we could hook up for lunch or something...oh well maybe next time!!! We hope to go back to Savannah in the winter time.

Hi Brenda,

HOpe all is well w/you and your family.

Hi Brenda,
I just finished a seven-week trial that has been appealed. I probably now have 9,000 pages pending. Being able to connect with scopists is going to be a life saver for me because I'm assigned to court all month. So, again, thanks for helping me out.
I hope you enjoyed the holidays. Best wishes for peace, health, and happiness in 2009.
