Thank you so much for the friend request. It looks like we share the same birthday, so Happy Birthday to us :-) I'm glad to hear your daughter is doing better and you're back doing what you love. Have a great weekend and I look forward to getting to know you.

Happy Birthday Michele!

Nice to meet someone else who is from Pittsburgh

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.
