    Hi Kathy,

    My name is Danelle Young. I am a scopist/proofreader. I am on Stenocat 32. I would be interested in doing some scoping or proofreading for you. Let me know if I can be of any help to you.

    I'm sorry, Kathy!!! She is adorable. You've inspired me to put up some pictures on my page.
  • Kathy Terhune

    Kathy, this is an unsolicited message but I love your schnauzer. I had a schnauzer for 15 years, love of my life. She lasted longer than any man, lol. I was saving for another one, and a clerk was a pug breeder. she was selling them for 650 and wanted me to buy one. I said I only had 300 in the schnauzer fund and she said i'll take it. Got him, he's a love. Black. Name's Elliott. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.(I've got a standard poodle, Ph.D. of dogs)
    Anyway, I'm envious. I thought people who used to know me would think you're me. I have a friend who's a reporter in Montana who has one. I must get one.

    Hi, Kathy.

    I was wondering if you'd like to help a court reporting student with her required observation hours for school! :) I love that you're in Family Law, and I'd love to see how a day-in-the-life is for you, if you don't mind. Would you be willing to help me out? I'm on summer break in August, so that would be the best time for me. Are you available for me to "shadow" you for a half/full day sometime next month?

    Thanks in advance for the courtesy and consideration!

    Hope to talk to you soon,
    Christine

    Thank you so much, Kathy! I really appreciate it! :)

    I'll look over my calendar and get back to you probably over the weekend.

    Thanks again! Can't wait! :)

    Sincerely,
    Christine

    P.S. Cute doggie! What's his/her name? :)

    Hi, Kathy!

    How are you? Hope you had a great weekend! :)

    Could I sit out with you on Monday, August 3, at 8:30 a.m.? I'll stay a half-day. Does this work for you? Please let me know!

    Also, just to let you know, I'm only at 160 WPM right now. I know I can't even "hang" for the 250+ WPM that you get every day! But I'll definitely bring my laptop and steno machine as you suggested. :) I'll take LOTS of notes, too!

    Thank you so much again, Kathy! I really appreciate it!

    Talk to you soon,
    Christine

    P.S. I'll send you a private message right now w/ my cell number, so we can talk if you want. :) My email address is stenonerd@gmail.com.

    Oops! I guess I can't send you a private message until we're confirmed as friends? So I'll send you my cell number as soon as you confirm that we can be online friends. :)

    BTW, what does the "CLR" certification mean? I know about the CSR and RPR, but not the CLR. Could you enlighten me please? And I think it's awesome that you have more than just 1 license... you have 3!!! I too want to get as many certifications as I can when I get to 250+ WPM!
  • Christine (Steno Nerd)

    Hi, Kathy!

    THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME SIT-IN WITH YOU YESTERDAY!!! I HAD SUCH AN AWESOME TIME!!!


    Seriously, I did learn so much... as you promise I would! :) And I love your courtroom! You're right... you're very blessed to have such a great, easy-going judge! Everyone was super nice and accommodating. Thank you all! I really, really appreciate you taking the time to be so nice to me!


    We'll definitely keep in touch if you don't mind... :)

    THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
  • Keith Rowan II

    Hi, Kathy. You seem like a great reporter. Good to know you!
  • Keith Rowan II

    Glad you like the objections. I plan on either adding to that or creating another set for some other objection-related briefs I have. I like your SKW idea. I might have to consider doing that or something like it. I emailed Marla about the briefs also. Thanks a bunch!
  • Christine (Steno Nerd)

    Hi, Kathy!

    Nice to hear from you! I'm still so exhilarated (yes, even days after!) from sitting out with you at the very exciting courtroom you have! So interesting! I definitely learned a lot! Thanks again so much for taking me in! :)

    Yes, we'll DEFINITELY keep in touch... PLEASE! :)

    About the pics, I look online using Google Images and type "Thank You" or "Determination" or whatever I'm looking to find an image for. I choose what I like, right-click on the image, hit "Save As," rename the pic to something easy for me to remember the pic by (such as "Thank.You.Dog" for the below pic on your wall), and then store it in a folder. Then to upload, you click on anywhere that'll allow you to upload a pic... like here on CSRnation. On the walls here when you leave a message, you can click on the camera icon (atop the box before adding your comment) and your image will be included in the comment you post on the wall.

    Sorry if I was rambling. I'm not very techy (that's my boyfriend's expertise, not mine!), but I hope that helped!

    Have a great week, Kathy! :)
