Birth control patch...

I can't use birth control patches because I have migraines.  My doctor will only let me use certain birth control pills, and doesn't really want me using them, but anyway.....


When I worked in-house, patients seemed to like the patch.  I do know that the OB/GYN I worked for would not give the patch to overweight women because he said it was not as effective.  I would love to be able to use it, as I have trouble remembering to take my pills.


American's don't overbreed. We use birth control
and don't have 10 kids living in squalor.
If verbatim, would go with nitro patch. If not, then nitroglycerine patch nm

At birth, maybe before that even.

Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)

My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable.  I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription.  Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue.  ANyone done this or have any input? 



 


Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.
I thought about my birth mom on Sunday (nm)

It started going up with the year of my birth, 1943
It had been 65 for years but they know people supposedly living longer now. Your date of birth is 1960 or after according to my social security paper.

Thanks, will do that, have some left over from last time we tried to stop. It worked for my husband but not for me, but I am determined to stop now.

I just had a doc give a patient's birth date as 1961, age 24.
Now I'm excited, I never realized I was so YOUNG!!!
I use Control N to end a job - Control T is for when viewing an old report
Don't know what you are talking about
Well, there's your problem! You're using blood pressure pills instead of birth
control pills!!  See - BP pills are for your heart - BC pills are for your - well, surely you must know! 
Gravida means total pregnancies. You can't have a miscarriage, birth or AB
unless you were pregnant, thus para 0 on gravida 0 is redundant.
I used the nicotine patch -
the last time, my third (and final) quit, in November 1999. Before that I quit 2 other times, the longest was for 4 years, first time cold turkey, second time hypnosis.

My husband, age 61, smoked ever since he was 14 years old and never, ever even tried to quit. Six months ago, he quit cold turkey. Everyone is amazed.
No patch needed (sm)

When you save your document, save as a word 93-2003 document (.doc) rather than a 2007 document (.docx).  You can change it in your defaults.  Anyone with those prior versions can then open your documents without having to download anything.  :)

Climara low dose patch
The night sweats or hot flashes as they call them disturbed my sleep to the point I was useless during the day time.

I concluded that I would take these hormones as I simply had to work at top performance at my job and get things done around the house as well.

I'll deal with the "change" when I am retired and can walk around like a zombie. For now, I have to consider quality of life.

I tried several before Climara and though it is not on my formulary (50.00/month), I take it to live normally.

Now I realize why women my age sometimes can look ravaged.
There is a patch to help eliminate those problems you
are experiencing with IE7.0.  Do you want a link to it?  Solved my IE7 problem, but then again, I rarely uses IE, but a different tabbed browser.
Why do you need a patch for express scribe? sm
I have Vista Home Ultimate and Express Scribe V 4.17 and have no problems whatsoever with the software at all.

As a matter of fact, I have had very few compatibility issues with Vista and ANY software I have tried to use -- except Transnet.
Microsoft has a patch for the browser

budget busters...patch those holes! =) sm
No, you are NOT the only one...our pockets don't just have holes...
rising costs are ripping GAPING TEARS in our pockets =) But the fact that you're aware of it is a good thing...because you have the ability to mend those tears. I don't know if you use a budget, but if you don't it might help to create one. Having a financial plan and a budget are the "needle and thread" you need to keep your pockets full. (and I bet a LOT of people are just going into more debt rather than adjusting their spending to put a patch on those soaring fuel and food prices.) So...grab your needle and thread...and Happy Sewing...anyone for a Quilting Bee?! =)
Tip: Keep a nicotine 7 mg patch in your wallet at ALL times. If you get strong urge, stick it on an

Thank you.. you are right. I'm in control of what I do about this!

Why do you let this man control you? (sm)

Confront him about his actions.  Do not hold back.  If it continues, then discuss the problem with all your family members.  You are letting him run your life.  Then let your mother et AL decide whether they want to see you on your terms or if they prefer to have no relationship.  


All this animosity will eat your alive.  Get it off your chest and you do not need a counselor to do it.  Just be yourself and be honest and upfront with him.

cannot control what others do
Personally I would just stop having anything to do with her.  I would tell your husband why and no one else.  Just stop doing anything with her, talking to her, etc.  If you have kids, unless the kids are asking to see her, carry on with your life.  And don't say it isn't that easy.  It is.  And what she does is what she does.  What you do is what you do.  What you and your husband have together is outside of what she does.  Keep it simple.  Don't say anything negative about her.  I know you have hurt but you said you worked though it.  You can do that with this too.  Be strong. 
The key to all of this is control+K
which allows the next keystroke to be entered as the command, in your case hit control B. When the box comes up, make sure the control box is checked, not shift or Alt, and then click okay. repeat at end of phrase.
Out of control
Although working from home is great - I have always felt as if the company that I worked for was more in control of my life than I was. Telling me when I had to have something done - even though they never live up to their own standards. One very well-thought of company on this board is just that way - I have QA sitting out there from the weekend and it hasn't been checked yet, but once it is, they will expect me to have it done in 30 minutes and to the hospital - I'm ready to give up this profession or vocation or whatever anyone wants to call it.

Control T
Some EXText users have the ability to reveiw old jobs--say you want to look at a physical exam for the dictator you're working on or you want to verify a dosage for a drug on a patient you're working .  You can Control/S, then in the screen that pops up you can chose by date, trans ID, provider name, patient name, etc.  In the documents that come up based on the parameters that you entered, you can select one of those documents.  It's also a way to review what QA filled for any blanks you might have had.  When you are finished reviewing, you Control/T to get out of that document and your working document pops back up.  Working documents you Control/N.  Reviewing documents (read only), Control/T.

Hang in there....it will improve as time goes on.
Control
I am actively searching for a new company. This is a no-win situation.
I don't know nor do I have control over the MT
community.  What I can control is my own career.  Other MTs have to take control of their careers, too.  IMHO, to work for an MTSO/get paid by production as a newbie MT is career suicide.  I never made less than, equal to or close to a housekeeper as a newbie.  I started as a medical-legal word processor of sorts - self-taught - took classes here and there and the rest is history.  My advice to new MTs is to get a job as a file clerk or other admin in a hospital or med group and work your way into a MT clerk and then MT position.  You already have your foot in the door by the fact that you are an employee of the hospital or med group 
And we also have a bit more control over the

It's difficult but necessary to be in control
Otherwise you are simply allowing little Hitlers to grow up and become *adults* - your job is not to be their friend, your job is to be their parent.

Why would you allow your kids to have friends that you wouldn't allow in your house if they were your friends?

Why would you allow filthy language, out-of-control behavior, and downright liars even on your property?

Are you afraid of your kids? if so, why?

Good luck
sorry, don't think it's either new or damage control

AND you can keep the remote control right next to your keyboard to mute it when necessary. I think it sounds great. I might try it!

Settings, control and then where - can you help me?

Thanks so much!
not other poster but it isn't under the control tab; sm
it is under the playback tab under settings. it is the fifth one down that says auto back step on stop. i have mine set at 2000.
Yes, and one could only believe that if one believed this was something they had no control over. sm
I don't think that way at all.   Please.  How many gay movie stars are we just now finding out were gay all their lives.  And we never knew.  I am sorry, but that is the coward's and liar's way. To have a family knowing you are gay and have no intention of giving up your other way of life.  Shameful.

Did it kill your grass?  You know, like roundup turns it brown? 
I gave the tip about using control+K
for command entries.

I purchased ShortHand and it is in the instruction manual that came with it.
