Any suggestions on how to stay awake and alert w/o No-Doz ? - sm
 Got totally dumped on tonight with work--- about 120 minutes between 2 jobs---- would like to get at a good portion of it done tonight but tend to start falling asleep typing at 10 or so these days. Hate pills, especially hate No-Doz, hate coffee too, like capaccino but out right now.......so any quick fixes to staying awake, or should I just work until sleepy and get up after 5 hours of sleep? (i.e. 4 or 5 a.m.). TIA.
In no acute distress (NM)

Appearing "professional"
I think that people are finally realizing that the old ways of thinking that people ARE more professional if they DRESS more professional is a flat-out lie--SOME people are starting to learn that being "professional" in general doesn't mean being more moral or ethical in any way shape or form.
Look back in your past--what's the ratio of people who have ripped you off in a business deal, or who have sold you something that was unnecessary, or did their best to make you buy accessories for something that you didn’t need--when they're wearing a suit and tie and make themselves look all perfect vs. the longbearded biker-looking dude with his belly sticking out?
Generally, it's the people who try the hardest to look professional that are the ones who are willing to do anything to get a buck. The exception to this is people that are so desperate to make a buck that they’re willing to mug someone, and they usually look really really ratty.
Selling people unnecessary warranties, or used cars, or selling people a computer based on how extravagant it looks vs how it actually performs--generally it’s all done by people who pride themselves in looking professional.
THAT is why looking professional has become not as important anymore, because people are starting to open their eyes and realize. People like Tia will probably continue to get sold things that they don’t need, and get sold things that may be inferior quality, all because the person selling it looks professional. That is snobbishness in action, and snobbishness has its pitfalls.
before taking joy in another's distress,
remember, it could happen here too, maybe not in the same manner, maybe by cyber-terrorists...and then ponder, how do you pay your bills, can you make your house payments, etc.
Could it be "somewhat pale-appearing"?

Thank you. It was quite apparent from

There is no apparent accountability in Mexico.
Many people go there as a last resort, when all traditional treatment has failed. I think it was Steve McQueen who went there for "coffee enemas". I've never heard a success story yet. I don't think it speaks bad our healthcare system, although Lord knows it needs fixing. Have you ever watched the news when they are in third world countries and you have 20 patients in the same room, no equipment, usually only the most basic medications, little if any skilled medical personnel. When I was in Brazil years ago, they had 2 woman in labor in the SAME bed.
Oh. It's well wishes. Guess with the posts here on the subject that wasn't apparent. nm

Insurance - Healthy NY
Has anyone ever used this company for health insurance? Hypertype told me their girls use it as IC's - that the rates are good. But I see you can't make more than 23k per year. How can you use plan and work f/t doing MT ? thanks guys
I'm in my late 40's, and healthy. Tried it
on doc's recommendations. Took my first pill and thought my heart had stopped. Really had a bad feeling on it, like I would have a heart attack. Nearly went to the ER, but it wore off after exactly 8 hours. My teen daughter was prescribed it for a while, and after a few days developed a deep red rash all over - so we did not have good experiences with it. I'd be very careful.
healthy eating
 What are the healthiest fruits and veggies to eat? I know raw veggies are supposed to be better for you too and that frozen is better than canned. Any other advice? Thanks.
I am awake but don't want to be
It looks okay to me. If that is what he/she is saying. Maybe after the artery pressures no comma before 39.
anybody awake?
Come on, you guys, surely somebody is still/already awake?
Thanks Alert!
Thanks Alert
If we don't respond to their juvenile posts they'll eventually get board and go away.

I am not saying this about all doctor's wives, so please no remarks. It has just been in my experience, when a wife either works in the practice or takes care of the money, you will see this happen. I worked for a dentist who was supposed to have this big incentive plan for all of us if we met certain goals. His wife used that/our money to pay payroll taxes.
I agree. Let his wife do the transcription.
How about nuts? Almonds are healthy. (nm)

OK - how's that? I need to be healthy for ME (for several reasons) before I can be true to...
anything else in my life! Thank you ALL for the words of encouragement! It does help. I need to do this for ME. Once I see I can accomplish this goal I will have the encouragement, strength and faith that I can do anything! And you know what, I really BELIEVE I will do it this time! Thanks again! Will keep you updated!
Congratulations on your healthy income!
Congratulations to Fingers for healthy income!!
How many years experience do you have (if you do not mind answering)?
Thanks!

Alert The Media
Do you think you could draw the attention of the media for this cause? Maybe there's a spunky investigative report who would want to get the story out.
Alert and oriented x 3 is
what I have always typed.
Just realize that there are healthy able bodied people...
who make minimum wage in Florida and can barely afford to put food on the table never mind stock up on a little extra. Also realize that with that kind of destruction I don't think anyone can be prepared. I rode out two storms last year and each time I went outside and saw the damage afterwards I was overwhelmed and in shock for days....months after the storm driving along I-75 to get to family in Naples I encountered the Port Charlotte area and the destruction that those storms brought to that area was terrible...those people to this day are still living in FEMA trailers and have little else but the shirts on their backs. Before people become judgemental of what the government shouldn't do realize that one day that just might be you or someone in your family. I work with a girl who lost everything to Andrew and to this day when a storm comes into play she is very apprehensive and anxious....Try to be a little more caring than judgemental. It makes the world a much better place to live in.
As long as healthy, able-bodied people
are willing to maintain a poverty mentality and continue to be content to work a minimum-wage job without making any effort to better themselves, they will remain trapped in the misery they've created for themselves. There is no reason why able-bodied people in this country should not be able to provide adequately for their families. There is nothing noble or pure about abel-bodied people choosing poverty and misery just because it's too much trouble to improve one's life and it's so much easier just to get some mindless minimum-wage job or just sit and collect welfare. Their selfishness deprives the truly needy of the help and resources the rest of us pay for that should be devoted to helping those genuinely in need. If able-bodied people decide to make stupid choices--which includes not preparing for emergencies as well as the well-known stupid choices of breeding more children than they can support, choosing to bear children out of wedlock, choosing addiction, choosing to drop out of schoos, etc., etc--they should not automatically expect to be bailed out of the consequences of their poor choices. It has nothing to do with compassion or lack thereof. It's simple common sense.
Aside from coffee and sleeping, how do you keep yourself awake?
I'm so very, very tired and sleep deprived this week from everything that's going on. My eyelids keep drooping and I can't get motivated, but I have to get this work done. I know if I try a little catnap, I'll be out like a light for the rest of the day. Any tips?
Anyone awake yet? Can someone take a look and tell me if I 'm typing this correctly?
There was no evidence of significant
in-stent restenosis of the RCA. A right heart catheterization was done as well. Right atrial pressures were 16, 12, and 11. Right ventricular pressures were 40, 7, and 15. Pulmonary artery pressures, 39 and 21. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is 21, 19, and 17 with left ventricular pressures of 132, 17, and 26.
oops, you said pasta sorry not awake yet

Mine was never awake long enough to try to help him.
He drank daily until he passed out and that was early. I decided I did not love him enough to put me or my son through it and asked him to leave. He did. I left too and never looked back. Do not know whatever became of him. Never saw my ex-husband again. Just had lawyer file for divorce and signed my divorce papers, which included taking my former name back, and moved on. Never remarried. It is so degrading living with someone like that. It makes you second guess yourself and your abilities too. I did not love him enough to hang in there. If I had, I guess the story would have some other ending, but I just didn't. Very sad but true for him and for me.
Help staying awake and productive
I have real problems staying awake, focused and productive. I am alone all day, I think I get enough sleep, and I keep the TV on in the other room for another voice, but I get bored and can't keep my concentration and then I start web surfing and my productivity goes in the hopper. Any suggestions on staying awake and focused?

Oops....typo alert!
That should have been "to do radiology reports" not "to radiology reports." My proofreading skills are on standby, I guess.
what R U ? The Troll Alert Police?
My sup wants alert and oriented x3. I do x 3 (with space) s/m
Am I totally wrong on this one. My theory is, we don't do 3x3 cm - We do 3 cm x 3 cm. So I figure we should put spaces? Get it? Opinions?
only 1 alert from MTStars since Sunday??
Is there something wrong with the site or have the storms from Michigan hit the MTstars website? It seems like I should have more than one alert from this board. Is anybody else having the same trouble? Just wondering and trying to stay dry. (As best I can since Michigan has had 4 days of rain and more forecast).
I would spend whatever it takes to keep my " animal kids" healthy. nm

does anyone have a problem staying awake while typing?
even when I dont feel tired, I sit down to type and my eyes start dropping. HELP. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!
Nice cold Pepsi keeps me awake (NM)
You might try exercise daily to help you stay awake. sm
When I was a slug, I used to fight sleep all the time while transcribing. Then I started daily exercise, and now I don't fight sleep at all. I also went low carb, too - carbs make you sleepy.
This will also help your productivity.
How sad that no one called U. Think you can get news alert emails

Vitamins that make us mentally alert?
Which vitamin supplements can we take to make us more mentally alert as an MT? Thanks
Garlic keeps you healthy. You smell so bad sick people avoid you.

Ooops, typo alert...I meant "education"
Whine alert! 8 cents/line is killing me! :(
I have 17 years experience. I'm an IC, was getting paid 10 and 11 cents a line for the last decade or so. After that work basically dried up, I started looking for more work. No work to be had at at 10 cents a line anymore, rarely find anything even at 9 cents.
Decided to take an 8 cents/line job. Hey, I was gettin' hungry. I swear....I type, type, type, type, seems like all day and all night and still not making the money I need to pay my bills and eat!
I know, I know, people justify 8 cents a line by saying hey if you can do 200 lph, that's $16 an hour. Yeah, that's great for those who aren't used to making up to $30+ an hour for the past 8 to 10 years! Man, I'm soooooooo tired of typing, so burned out, just very unhappy. 
I can see now how some people are happy with MT and some people aren't, just depends on what you've been used to compared to what you get now. Sad.
I really don't have any other skills to do anything else, and I'm dying here as far as finances, killing my hands and other body parts trying to make money at this 8 cents a line...maybe could've done it 15 years ago when I was younger but just not able to type like a demon day and night anymore.
Let it be known that this is the end of my vent. I have no idea what I'm going to do
I don't know! I've heard people live longer with a healthy sex life.

Might want to research the Fat Flush Diet plan or even just healthy fasting as a way of starting
