LMM, I'm not doubting the language skills, never have, which is NOT a putdown or insulting, okay? Why should the people here NOT listen to LMM? I think her and I are a lot alike, although I get very frustrated with people and accessibility. I was challenged like you would not believe at a Wal*Mart store in Hastings, Minnesota yesterday afternoon. Three managers wanted "certification" paperwork, one said a friend of hers trains dogs and it is required, she would not budge. I called the police, will not deal with this kind of silliness. They have, even though the manager was apologetic at noon today when he called me back, lost my business. I have been in this store numerous times and have never had a problem. I will be testing the store again Friday, as I will be back in town there for a meeting that afternoon.
As for the picture of me and Snickers, pm me with your email addy, will be happy to send a pic to you. 
I presume, Relay, that when you are at work and doing the tty, that you type as how the client talks, not how a language interpreter would? Instead of saying, "LMM said..." you would say, "I said..." meaning, that is what LMM/client said verbatim, correct? I've used relay on occasion, as I have student loan lenders who are complete morons and I can't talk to them one the phone, as they try my patience.
