Oddly enough, if I don't use my bank card as a credit card in the billing cycle, I get charged fo

Debit card. They've got the credit card logo on them, so they
can be used anywhere a credit card can be used.
I used to send a card and gift card to my direct supervisor, but that's it. sm
She was the only one who knew me as more than an employee number, and the only one I had any respect for.
membership
In my opinion, no.  It's not worth the outrageous price.
PWP membership

My wife and I both belonged to chapters in the Central Indiana Regional Conference. It is a good organization of mostly good people who , like yourself found themselves in the situation of single parenthood. This is a great suport group, and the only one I've found that caters to kids.

membership

I had considered it some time ago but having seen them become so devoted to offshore MT's in India, I also agree that they are not worth being a part of let alone me sending them money for membership so they can turn around and sponsor above mentioned overseas MT's training on my dime...


 


Well, the MT membership is

free the first year and if we don't like it, we don't have to join next year, right?  I don't blame you for being skeptical, but since there's no cost, I can "afford" to give this org the benefit of the doubt. 


I do agree we need an org for only MTs, that way we aren't being sold out.


membership sold
Yes, AAMT does sell membership list with your info -- I asked.  Is one of their main sources of revenue.  Then I asked to be removed from the list they sell and the calls became less frequent.  Then I didn't renew.... ha.
AMA membership/nonmembership

I need to know the signifiance of whether a doctor is a member of the AMA or not.  What exactly does this organization do and what does their membership mean.  Any info would be helpful. I am researching a physicain who is a nonmember.


AMA membership / nonmembership
The best place to start would be the AMA's own website. There the significance of being a member versus nonmember are explained, as well as their bylaws, etc.
AMA

or if the link doesn't show, copy & paste:

Welcome to the club, NN...
Instead of Sloan Kettering, I typed Sloan Cattery multiple times in a report.  I worked at a veterinary school and it made sense to me.  Luckily the boss caught it before it was sent.  But, yes, with the volume of reports most of us produce in a day, there are bound to be some errors. 
It's not any cheaper after paying for membership.

I dropped my membership after 13 years.

Not just for MTs. Membership is open to all transcriptionists.
This includes general transcriptionists, legal transcriptionists, etc. I did sign up because it was free for now. I am curious to see where this goes.
If that is Yuck's club no thanks
her idea of cool is sitting and popping her pimples all day and then having her husband pop the ones on her fat butt all night.  That is why he left ya know.   Well, one of the reasons anyway. 
Yep. -- Welcome to the protectors club.
Sounds like me too.
How about Celebrity Fit Club??
Does anyone get into that?  I think this season will be good.  I'm Tempestt Bledsoe's age and I loved her in Cosby Show.  Go Vanessa!!  I'm also curious about Young MC.  That's good ole school stuff.  Tee hee.
Celebrity Fit Club
Just finished the show.  Really good.  I have to agree with the poster from earlier today that Tempestt did look wonderful.  She is radiant.  She and Chastity are motivating me.  I'm going to look into that SMASH diet they were talking about.  Who's with me?  No more cookies !!!  No more cookies !!!  Ugh, did I just type that "out loud" ?? 
Sam's Club will get you every time! You cannot
Then it is such a hassle trying to find a place to put it all! I go there to save $ but it just wears me out!
join the club
Age/arthritis? - see a doctor. Out of shape? - exercise. Here are some PT back exercises: http://www.nismat.org/orthocor/programs/lowback.html

Feel better!
18 years.. Can I be in the club?

It pays the bills.  I love it, hence my name!!! 


What about a gardening club?
You might check on-line and see if there are any gardening groups in your area. Or ask neighbors about it. Or you might consider starting a home bible class if there is anything you want to study. They have books to help you at the Christian book store. Or if you have pets, I discovered there are breed and non-breed dog clubs around. You can find those on line for your area.

Good luck!
I got mine at Sam's Club for about $70.
My arms don't adjust and I don't have a headrest, but I do have a high back.   My only recommendation is to be sure you get a chair where the seat and the back touch, not like the cheaper ones where there is only a small back piece and your lower back isn't supported.  
opting out of that is part of the membership application.

Anyone want to do a group savings club?

Just trying to drum up a little motivation.


If we pact to do 100 lines a day more each day that we earn and then put that net amount into savings each paycheck, it can add up a bit!


For me, that would be 500 lines a week or $160 a month gross.  By the time my taxes are taken out, that's about $131 a month net and THAT adds up to $1572 a year! 


Any takers?!  See who earns the most for it or heck even stays with it?! 


  


They have to make money somehow since they have declining membership dues. nm

Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?

I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers.  Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer.  Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card?  Did it make a difference. 


Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you.  You have helped me many times. 


How about a Marriott Vacation Club villa?
They have several in Orlando. I haven't checked the price recently but I think a 2 bdr villa used to be in the $220 per night range - full kitchen, washer/dryer, everything you need.

Join the club on being confused. With turning us

things are charged, billed, or anything any more.


It just seems like they wanted me to work for nothing to clean up ASR reports.  It was pitiful what they wanted, considering what they needed me to clean up.  I could have typed it faster and better using my word expanders.


I know the Club Med there will not be open until June 2006, if that is of any help. sm

No doubt a travel agent could give you an idea of how things are.  If it was me, I think I'd wait a bit.  They were hit pretty hard, and there is a lot of cleanup, I'm sure.


Wherever you go, have some sun in the fun for me! 


Maybe Surreal Life or Celebrity Fit Club? lol - nm

I'm in the 40's club also Kiki and wondering the same thing but the way I sm
see it is I'll be working until I'm at least 70, so I have a good 30 years left to work! Funny thing is I'll be going to college at the same time as my oldest 2 children which is kind of neat!!
Mine is a DJ at at strip club and yes, he's a wonderful, trustworthy man :) nt

Lord, preserve me from Sam's Club! That place is dangerous!

Club Sandwiches, Chips, Pickles, Carrot Slaw
exciting, huh? :)
No credit card is a good credit card.
Just kidding. I'd suggest not using credit cards to pay debts. It'll only dig you in deeper. Look into a signature loan or putting a lien against a vehicle or house. Lower interest rate, pay off sooner.
card
Riversongs and angelrays are the best...but they are free.
2,000 debit card
When your boss gives you your paycheck, do they ask what are you going to do with that money?  Didnt think so.  Same thing for the people of the gulf coast.  They lost their jobs, their homes.  The money they will be given will be in lieu of a paycheck till they can find another job and home.  Its a paycheck from the govt.
Ethernet card
If your connection to the internet is through a cable connection, then you have an Ethernet card. If it is dial up, you may not have one. Look at the back of your PC, and if you have a plug for a cable connection (it is slightly bigger than a phone plug), then you have an ethernet card. Hope this helps. You can also go into MY Computer and check there too.
find a new card....
or, as long as your payments have been on time, call them and let them know you will move your business, and most of the time, they will lower it. Check your FICO score...if it's good, you can call the shots if they want your business. All have that little clause now that says even if you are even 1 day late on ANY other bills, i.e, utilities, dept store, anything, they can charge up to 36% interest on your remaining paymnents. Read the very small print.
Nothing but a card in the mail...sm
Do ya think it would have broke the company to have slipped a little something into that card? McDonald's $5.00 gift certificate; anything to show a little appreciation.

I've been thinking about it because there's not a lot of suits to pay; 1 owner. Now that I think about it some more, I'm thinking the owner might be Jewish, and not celebrate Christmas. But then why even send the card? And why not call it "appreciation during the holidays" instead of a Christmas gift? I duuno. The supervisors actually are MTs; I would have thought they would have brought it up during their weekly huddle. "what are we going to do for the MTs for the holidays?"

I thought about it some more and maybe only being with the company for 2-1/2 months might have something to do with not getting even a token. Oh well.
YES. We had an IBM selectric with mag card
and we thought it was great! HAHAHAHA
wireless card
thanks for the info. When I call today, I will mention what you said. Maybe I will just go to one of the local Super stores and see if they can set me up with a inout deal, if not i really am going to move if it does not work-eeks
Credit card? I'm not sure either.
NM
does anyone have a prescription card that
isn't through their insurance company? like rxdrugcard, pharamacistrxcard, etc.  i was considering getting one to cover the meds that insurance doesn't cover or pays very little on.  any info is greatly appreciated
Debit card use
I know the credit card companies charge the place of business a fee or percentage when you use your credit card but does anyone know if it costs them every time you use a debit card, does the business pay a fee?   Our apartment complex just offered the option of automatic checking account deduction because they said it costs them less than credit/debit.
debit card
Usually my purchases show up right away, unless its a holiday weekend and I use the debit card like a credit card instead; then its usually the next business day before those purchases show up. However, if I use it like a regular debit card, holiday or not the purchases show right away.
