APOLOGY
I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE RUNNING ARGUMENT THAT SEEMS TO HAVE ERUPTED BETWEEN SONYA AND MYSELF. I NORMALLY DON'T ALLOW MYSELF TO BE DRAWN INTO THOSE DEPTHS BUT TONIGHT, FOR SOME REASON, SHE REALLY GOT UNDER MY SKIN. I'M USUALLY A BETTER PERSON THAN THAT. SO SORRY FOR WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME. THERE IS SO MUCH GOOD INFORMATION ON THIS BOARD THAT CAN REALLY BENEFIT EVERYONE. FROM NOW ON, I'LL TRY TO RESTRAIN MYSELF FROM RESPONDING TO PEOPLE LIKE SONYA. THERE IS NOTHING TO HELP ANYONE BY MY ARGUING WITH HER. I'M GOING TO TRY TO GO BACK TO JUST READING THE MESSAGES THAT ARE POSTED, GAIN FROM OTHER NOTERIE'S KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE AND KEEP MY HANDS OFF THE KEYBOARD UNLESS I HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO CONTRIBUTE. AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE!

" KEEP MY HANDS OFF THE KEYBOARD UNLESS I HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO CONTRIBUTE."
I'd say you should keep your hands off the keyboard until you figure out how the shift key works and learn how to type properly. TYPING LIKE THIS IS NOT PROPER ON MESSAGE BOARDS.
I'd also suggest that you refrain from criticizing other people's spelling (as you did in a different post) as you apparently can't even spell the word NOTARY correctly. All you've managed to do is make yourself look like a fool.

Re: search the Internet for a spell checker please.....n/m
My message for you, Calinotary is to take a deep breath, look into the mirror and repeat these important words: "My head is too big and I need a reality check; I have so much time on my hands and am such a control-freak that I am addicted to a message board and that is disgusting.. I am disgusted with myself and now realize that I need to get a life. I am sorry for all the lies I have told and for all the people I have hurt, especially newbies. I am so wrapped up with my anger over other signing agents and their success and dumb radio commercials that I've lost sight of what's important in life. I vow to stay off the message board and be a good person and focus only on me -- something that I need to work on NOW".

my post was meant for the 'peg' poster, it bothers me when people won't take an ounce of effort to improve themselves and boast their ignorance by saying they don't have 'time' to use spell check...poor excuse in my opinion. If they are trying to pass themselves off as working notaries, they'll have plenty of time real soon

Wow Sonya, that is COLD and arrogant. I also just have to say, your spelling is atrocious and your typing is sloppy. (how did you get through law school?) I don't think it matters if you have clerical help for anything--what YOU type and post reflects on you. If the people on this board aren't important enough to waste your time on, you should probably discontinue posting here. Most of us really appreciate the help & information viewed here. I also usually get a good laugh any number of times during the week because most everyone has a great sense of humor. JMO

Intelligence has nothing to do with spelling. Einstein was a horrible speller, he also was dyslexic and did not start talking until he was three.
So, yep, I am a horrible speller. But does that make me a bad attorney or bad person? I think not. I am not going to post on this topic anymore as it does not matter what people think of me. We live in a capitalist society. People will still work for lorin. Just like SS will keep calling me bacause they need attorneys for certain signings. Perhaps I overreacted, but I have strong lines of what is fair and right or wrong and no-one should try to cheat me or there is going to be hell to pay.
Extreme, probably, but that is what makes sonya sonya and why I love sonya and so do a million other people.

Re:My Girls
Whether it bothers me or not shouldn't play into the picture. It's simple professional etiquette -- something called RESPECT that shouldn't even have to be explained to you. I'd like to see you go into the courtroom and call the Judge, *girl.*

Re: Re:My Girls
Actually, the chief judge is a mentor and refers to me and several other young attornies as her 'girls' It does not bother me. But when you are not hypersenstive, such minor matters will not bother you.

Dang Sonya your plate is full. Your a lawyer on a 4 day vacation, who's staff is sitting around you and your computer, while waiting for your hubby to pick your up, and needing rest from surgery.

Have a good weekend
1 of the reasons I was such a good trial lawyer was b/c I knew how to get under oppossing counsel's skin. I see that I have not lost my touch.
Take care,
Sonya

Re: Lawyer Jokes
I worked for attornys for years and if you are an attorney as you say, God help your clients. Every attorney and firm I know of in NY is in Martindale-Hubbell. It defies logic not to be. I thought you had to go back to work about 2 days ago. Great plug for the ABA, I'm sure they are thrilled to have your endorsement.

Re: Lawyer Jokes
Again another example of a lay person thinking they know so much. I could give you a list of at least 20 lawyers including judges and prosecutors that are not listed. Martindale is a voluntary listing organization. The ABA is way more powerful and much more effective with lobbying congress.

Re: Lawyer Jokes - Teasa
Hmm I went to the ABA website and did a lawyer search. Guess what? You do a lawyer search and it links to the Martindale.com laywer locator, and if you put in Sonya's name, there are no listings.

Re: Not my lawyer!
If she is a lawyer, previous posts tell me to thank God that she isn't MY lawyer! I'd prefer one who was professional and could properly fill out a brief. Those typos and misspellings could get me into some serious trouble.

Re: Not my lawyer!
1. you could not afford me. 2. I have clerical help who use software with built-in spellcheckers, this board does not have spell check. Plus, since its suppossed to be just an informal message board why is spellling so important?

Re: Lawyer Jokes - Teasa
Hmmmm. that sounds weird. i tell you what I am going to go take a nap, when I wake up and get to my travel destination, I will post my bar card # aas well as my ABA ID # and it will point you towards verfying that I am an attorney. I know that a lot of website are not user-friendly, but try looknig me up under licnesed attorneys in Connecticut as well. Just go to their judicial website.
I do not have time to scan my birth certificate, Ss card and driver's license cuz I am sure that you will need that next as I continue to fascinate you.

Re: Spellcheck
To use spellcheck once downloaded and installed, when you have typed your message into the board, before hitting the "Post" button, right click and select "check spelling"

This seems to be against ethics. What state are you in? Connecticut? This needs to be reported to the Bar.
