Dodge Durango
The thing I love most about my SUV is the third row seat in the back! When we're not hauling something, it is up and my 10-year-old daughter sits back there so she doesn't fight with her brother!

We love our Dodge Durango! Sis-in-law has a GMC Envoy which is great but a little out of our
budget.
that was a 1962 Dodge Lancer w/slanted trunk..
ball
You'll think I'm crazy, but I use one of those big exercise balls. If you sit on it, you are forced into good posture and work the core muscles at the same time. Most comfortable chair I ever had.
Ball sm
My PT recommended it, she said one insurance company encourages it. I haven't tried it yet, but if I had the time, I would like to, it would take some time to get used to, trying to get over the fear of falling on it -- it will come sooner or later.
I'm sorry too, hair-ball

Ball question
Any way to save a ball with a puncture? I'm not cheap, well, yes I am, but I want to at least try to save it. I LUV MINE! Suggestions?
Play The Ball, Not The Man
I am respectfully handing this thread back to Dinosaur, when someone starts playing the man, not the ball, it's time to say cheers because it serves no purpose. Loo, you don't know the first thing about me nor did you bother to take the time to say one reasonable word - to those that did take a moment to at least respond meaningfully, thank you.

DID anyone ever sit on an exercise ball?
hello
DO any of you ever sit on an exercise ball?
Is that better?! !!
I was 'on the ball' for about
3 years and I think it actually helped my lower back. Then I busted my wing (in a non-ball-related accident). That was over 4 years ago, though. I am not looking forward to the breaking-in period all over again. Still, all it's going to cost me is a little lung power to blow the thing back up, so I believe I will give it another try. Maybe it's just like riding a bicycle?
And when you get bored, you can always bounce up and down on it. Plus, your antics amuse your family and friends.
Can you give us a ball park?

Base for the ball chairs
I actually bought my exercise ball/chair through ebay and it came with a base which has a small back support as well as wheels. It works out great.
Do you use an exercise ball for a chair?
I know some transcriptionists do, and I think the wine and the ball would make a really fun combination to watch.
Homemade stilts. We had a ball with these. sm
The ice cream truck used to make multiple trips around the block just to watch us.
Balance Ball chair. Has anyone tried?
I found this in a catalogue: http://www.gaiam.com/retail/product/95-1004
I have a balance ball, and now and then I sit on it at my desk. It really does feel great, but the problem is keeping it steady. It's large and I have a hard time keeping myself at a comfy distance from the keyboard. I was thinking of getting this chair as a "supplemental" chair. I don't think it would work for 8 hours a day, but I think it would help alleviate some pressure and strain for periods during my work sessions.
And, this may be TMI - but this past summer I had a breast reduction. (Best thing I've ever done for myself!) The change in my body has definitely affected my posture and has alleviated pain in my back and shoulders. But I really need to strengthen my back and obliques more. I thought this chair might help with that.
Has anyone used this type of chair, or even used a balance ball at their desks? What do you think?
The ball is completely in your hands . .
I don't blame you at all for being frustrated. Someone with experience would have been the wiser choice. This girl is getting an incredible opportunity. All her work will have to be gone over. She will not be able to work on her own for quite some time. We have two new girls in our office who just finished their courses (not a home course for Pete's sake), but we knew what we were getting into. I don't think you need to go to the doctor. If you do not want to be her mentor it will not work out. Otherwise, give it your best. It's going to require a lot of patience on your part. Good luck
Exercise Ball at Desk
I sat on my ball at the desk a lot during my third pregnancy. It really seemed to help with some of the back problems I was having.
My brother gave me the idea - apparently many people with office jobs in Europe sit on balls all day at their desks.
I am using a regular chair now because my ball sprung a leak, but I plan on replacing it very soon.
Thanks for the warning. I keep trying to use ball of foot, but often use big toe. NM

An exercise ball can be a great thing!
I know at least a few MTs who exercise on the ball for five minutes or so every hour or so. Your schedule sounds very tight, so I guess this would be better than nothing!
Never heard of such ball and chain inflexibility before.

Well, get started. YOU can start the ball rolling.

To your liking.. i used one about the size of a tennis ball and just sliced into
"rings."
I taped a little paper duck on my selectric ball and sm
had fun watching it go back and forth while I typed. I was so happy when Selectrics came out, as those huge carriages always knocked over my cup of tea and anything else that was in its path on my desk!
I guess I'm the odd ball; I LOVE going to home parties! sm
But on the other hand, I HATE shopping. I do the majority of my shopping from home parties -- Lia Sophia (sp?) jewelry, Tastefully Simple (a fave), Pampered Chef. I'm waiting to go to a Southern Living Home Show but haven't been invited to one yet.
Anyone ever type while sitting on stability/exercise ball? sm
Working on getting back in shape. My Theraband ball is about the same height as my work chair so thinking about using it part of the day to sit on while transcribing. Wondering if anyone has every done this and how it went. Even if only for part of a day or an hour, I think it would be a great way to gain core body strength. Anyone tried this or even thought about it.
The ball works for the butt, but not so well for the lower back.
I sat on an exercise ball for about 2-1/2 years (with a 3 month break in between after giving birth to my son). The first 1-1/2 years before I had my son were great, as my abs were in pretty good shape. After the delivery and after my abs were shot, I had a hard time keeping good enough posture of my back and ended up putting more strain on my lower back, causing injury. I just switched back to a regular chair, and my back feels great comparitively, but my butt hurts. I am going to try one of those donut things though.
If you do try the exercise ball, I noticed that if I kept moving on it, I typed faster and produced more (kept me going more), but be very careful to make sure you are keeping a good posture.
Good luck.
You need to give up your psychic friends business and toss your magic 8 ball.

If you have a Hancock Fabric store near you, they have a knit ball and video that teaches you how to
knit.
I love to quilt, if there is a quilting store near you that gives lessons, that would be great. Mine gives lessons where you can finish a lap quilt in a day.
Also ceramics is fun.

Right, that's what I do, it's a game!
They seem to be trained to speed-speak anyway, so why not join in on the fun!
This is not a game.
If there really is an error on page 50, please let me know where it is, and I will mark my book accordingly, so I don't have to cross-reference every term on that page wiith Stedman's until I find it. To me this is neither fun nor funny. I only type one specialty and there are many terms obsscure enough to me that I won't automatically spot them as a typo.
Yep, except the game with Bill
was minus the odor and the little white crabs marching around the stogie.
Game ideas
At one party for my daughter, I wrapped up a small, age-appropriate gift in several (maybe 5-7, I don't remember) layers of wrapping paper. Then the girls sat in a circle and passed the present around to music. When the music stopped, whoever was holding the gift got to remove 1 layer of paper. The one who took of the last layer of paper, got the gift.
Also, our youth group had a balloon tower contest. Each team had a bunch of balloons and several rolls of clear tape. Then they had 10 minutes to blow up the balloons and build a tower using the tape. Whoever built the biggest tower won. Of course, we had some older kids in the youth group. Younger kids might have trouble tying the balloons.
Well those of us that have figured it out know your game :)
At least I know enough to offer to make my husband a sandwich when he's looking through the new truck section in the paper.
Works every time. 
Need is not a factor in this game. (see m)
There is absolutely no point to having a game at all if you are going to give the money to whoever "needs" it.
It's a competition, pure and simple. Sometimes wealthier people are wealthier for a reason: they are competitive. But I definitely believe that in no way ever should need be considered. That just completely detracts from the spirit of the game.
blame game..........sm
As for the *blame game* - most states and MOST judges don't care....they don't care if your spouse is caught in bed with people. Hopefully the OP's state is like that. Many states today are *no contest* states. If you want a divorce, you can get a divorce in most states with no contesting. If the OP's state is not like this - is not a *no contest* state, the OP needs to file for a divorce in another state, where the OP would need to get residency status in that particular state (using someone's address who you know real well).
Persistence is the name of the game
Your brochure/flyer/business card has to be there at the time they need someone. You need to do multiple mailings and concentrate on those areas you want to work. Use your present accounts for referrals, offer rewards, etc. I have a secret of getting past the front desk but have been laughed at in the past but it works. But just like selling a house, it takes many open houses to find the person that wants your house so it is the same here. Just do mailings about 3 months apart, they will begin to remember your name.
Oh well then it is fair game if not following
BOS. It could be interpreted any number of ways really. I would probably "sticky-note" it and let the doctor review it to be certain though. We aim to please, us nonBOS'ers. You are not saying though Patti, that all clinic notes, in general, do not follow BOS are you? You are just simply stating that you do not follow BOS for your clinic notes, I am assuming.
This game is kind of fun!
Can you find the typo on page 50 of the BOS?
I think some drs see dictation as a game. How
