Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year to all of you and your families!
Yes, Happy Hannukah or Merry Christmas ...
my sincerest best wishes for you and your family!


Merry Christmas not Happy Holidays. :)
Thank you Sheri.

I want to work at your cmopany!
So I guess he's off your Christmas list this year?
It's amazing how some relatives will put money before blood. Maybe your brother's broke and needs the money badly?
My 8-year-old threw up on the way home from family celebration Christmas Eve, all over the back seat

Then threw up approximately every hour from 10:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. Christmas morning.  Not the Christmas I had planned, up cleaning bodily fluids all night.  Somehow Santa managed to come overnight, too.  My husband, me and the 2-year-old didn't get the bug until last night, it's vicious!  Hopefully that's all over now and we can enjoy the rest of our vacation!

Skip Christmas Day and do drinks/snacks Christmas

The only ones I capitalize are --sm
the ones with person's names, like McMurray test, etc. I have never been asked to change that or had any problems with it. To me, it would take way too much time to capitalize every single test name, unless put into an expander. this is just my opinion.
Would you capitalize the name of a form the doc's use?
 
Is there a way to set Shorthand to capitalize
the first letter of each sentence? TIA.
Capitalize Power or Attorney or not?

I don't capitalize orthopedic tests themselves, but if there's

Is it correct to capitalize every orthopedic test, such as, Anterior Drawers Test, Alar Ligament Test, etc. 


Thank you


 


Cardiac Clinic - no do not capitalize; Cardiology - yes as it is referred to as an entity. nm

Unless a facility name accompanies the phrases you hear/type, you should not capitalize.

ExtText by Dictaphone -- Word 2000 - won't capitalize when making a new paragraph or after lists?
Hi. I am new at a job. The Word 2000 running in ExtText (Dictaphone) will not capitalize at the beginning of a new paragraph (never had that happen before), nor after numbers in an automatic list, and sometimes even just after plain periods, not just periods used in numbers (like hemoglobin 7.5).

What is going on? It works fine in the Word version on my computer, but when it ties with ExtText, it "forgets" to capitalize. It is especially annoying with lists, and also at the first of paragraphs, I never had to babysit that before.

Any help? TX
Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

After I went to a 1-year MT course at a vocational school, it was so bad that I did the 2-year colle
Not only did I finally receive the proper training, but the woman on the advisory board hired and mentored me. I also joined the local AAMT and networked. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. A community college will have a good program to include medical language, MT courses taught by local MTSOs, business English, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, etc.
Heck, I did not say not to wish her a happy birthday! She deserves a happy birthday.
I was just saying her birthday was on Sunday!! :) Why does everyone always want to read something negative into everything on this board. I certainly did not mean anything negative by it! I was just makin' it known WHEN her birthday was!!

I think he makes $700,000.00 a year, and if they ask him to walk before his first year MQ has...sm

to pay him a cool 1 million dollars.  You can check this out at the Medquist website.   I think the CFO makes $350,000 a year, and the head of IT makes $250.000 a year.


P.S.  This does not include the perks, like expense account, car allowance, sign-on bonus, etc. 


Our 16 year old son has been working for a year now to pay for his truck.
He's learning how to sand and do body work and how the engine and transmission go together. My parents didn't buy cars for my siblings and I either. I had a 20+ year old beater car until I could afford to move up to a a newer one.

I see all the nice new cars parked in the high school parking lot every day. It's nice that so many disrespectful punk kids get handed something nicer to drive than what all the teachers drive. Oh, well. Honestly, I think most of them borrow Mommy or Daddy's car or are the child of a doctor who can afford to hand them everything.

Hopefully, my kids will take better care of their cars because they bought and built them on their own. You're not going to grow up to be responsible if you don't work hard for something and expect Mommy and Daddy to bail you out all the time.

Oh, my Dad lectured us on even allowing our child to have a vehicle because Dad didn't have one until after he had worked his way through college, lettered on the football team, got straight As, lettered on the baseball team, yadda yadda. He either walked or hitched a ride. Yeah, well, times were different back then, Daddy-O. LOL At least my kid has the opportunity to work and earn his own car.
IC - 30 hours week, $98K last year. So far this year - 28K. sm
Individual IC - own account(s).
Not me, owed last year, and expect to owe this year- sm
or break even, had more expenses this year. Only owed $200 but still don't want to owe at all. Need to start doing estimated tax payments again so I don't owe! Guess I will get off my butt and do that this year.
It just seems like something always happens right before Christmas.
We both just had job changes due through no fault of our own. We basically had a month of no income there. Oh, but everyone has to have the annual Christmas drawing. Can't let us off the hook even if I have to hock my wedding band. OK, so I'm in a pity party mood today.
Christmas
I was just telling my kids the other day how I miss saying Merry Christmas this time of year and really do not like Happy Holidays!  So I have started saying it again. I have no problem with other celebrations this time of year so why do we Christians have to change because of it.  Being politically correct is not always best for what is in your heart.  So, on that note Merry Christmas to everyone!
Christmas

Thanks, Sheri, for your uplifting message. It is, after all, CHRISTmas--not Happy Holidays like so many merchants around here are saying. It seems that they are benefiting from all the customers purchasing CHRISTmas gifts, don't you think?


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!


Christmas sm
This profession has taught me to celebrate life, no matter what. I am tolerant of all views. I happen to celebrate Christmas and I think we should all join together. Is everyone Irish on St. Patrick's Day? Come on, lighten up and enjoy, enjoy, celebrate life.
Thanks! Now I know what to get Mom for Christmas!

Add yours: All I want for Christmas is
A kitchen where I can walk in every day and not have to battle stinking solider ants invading from the southern wall of dirt my home is built into. 
For Christmas....
we received a cute Christmas poem thanking us along with a book with a CD of the song "Live Like You Were Dying." A great recognition from a great company!

Rad guy,


First I think all families are a bit dysfunctional.  I say this from experience, I could tell you stories that would make your family probably seem normal.  As a born again Christian for 30 some years now, I would have to argue with your nephew.  It sounds like he may belong to a way out church or cult.  Being married or single does not get you to heaven according to my Bible (King James Version).  John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  


I believe is this, God made the way very simple, it is people who add things and try to make it complicated. 


You might ask him if he thinks the apostle Paul made it to heaven?  He was not married and actually he thought it better for a church worker not to be married because they could dedicate themselves to God. 


One more verse for you to use would be the following.


1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:


Some Christian forget that people find God through love, not being beat over the head.  It doesn't sound like your nephew is being meek, but a Bully.  This is not God's way.  God is a gentleman, who knock on the door of peoples hearts and waits for them to answer.  He does not break down the door.  He created us with free will, he is not going to force himself on us. 
Good Luck. 


Sandy


had it since before Christmas
I'm about 95% well now but I came down with it about a week before Christmas.  Never felt so bad for so long in all my life.  Of course, I tried so many OTC meds, but I did find some temporary relife by boiling a pot of water and holding me head over it and just trying to breathe.  You can add a bit of vinegar too although I was so sore already from coughing and sneezing that it seemed a bit much.  You can also put a towel over your head as you do this to keep the steam in.  Short-term relief but at times I was desparate for anything.  I also found that I seemed to finally start turning the corner when I drank lots and lots of orange juice.  You have my sympathy--it is awful. 
Christmas is the same way. A lot of the ESL
dictators do not celebrate Christmas so they volunteer to work so that those who do celebrate can be with their families. 
Thanks! I do most of my Christmas shopping
Love the fact that I can work and shop at the same time! And it's all delivered to me!
