this is merely a passing phase...nm
Relax - it is a phase and really doesn't mean anything.
My daughter is her own person and does not care to fit into a crowd. She just started wearing jeans this year - was always in sweat pants and a sweat shirt - the athletic type. So, it is good for her to not want to be in "the in crowd" so to speak. Black is okay as long it is not that "gothic look" as what the kids call it!
In the newborn phase, piece of cake (sm)
It's when they get mobile is when the going gets tough. I had to have my sister babysit while I had some serious deadlines to hit. I couldn't do it with a mobile toddler running around. Sometimes I tried to split my shift and working some through the night, but that didn't last long because I needed sleep and very well couldn't sleep with a baby in the house, during the daytime, that is.
Atkins dieters? Have questions...
Anyone out there on or has tried the Atkins diet lately? I did it about 2 years ago and lost 8 pounds in 3 days, I am a carb freak!!!! I could eat only carb meals 3 meals a day. I am wondering how much other people have lost on this diet. I also exercise, take multivitamin and still count calories. Me and hubby started this today. Any pos/neg feedback on this would be appreciated. Thanks everyone
Love Atkins, but can't get my partner to go along with it. sm
We tried it back a couple of years ago and I lost 35 lbs in 4 weeks. The weight just falls off. We took a cheat meal once a week so we could have whatever it was that we craved that week.
The problem with Atkins is it needs to be lived as a lifestyle, not as a fad diet. Being off carbs can skewer your body's ability to handle carbs, so if you go back to eating carbs, you are worse off than before.
In the lifestyle, though, you can go back to eating some carbs after you lose the weight, but still it is not so much. But keeping the water off to me is worth it all.
I am doing a low-carb, low-fat diet now, which I am adjusting to as a lifestyle, but we still take a day off from it all each week to eat what we want on that day. I am at my lowest weight in 3 years and feeling wonderful. The exercise helps so much too in the energy department and also keeps the anxiety I am prone to away from my psyche.
Great Atkins recipe
Chicken salad - mix chicken with mayo, celery, onion, a few sliced almonds, tarragon, and garlic powder - throw in a little seasonsed salt and black pepper if you like. Note: the tarragon's the key here - that herb just makes it delicous! Mix and chill then spread over romaine lettuce leaves and roll up or dip red bell pepper strips in it.
Pork finds have 0 carbs. You can also crush them up and use them as a coating; i.e., parmesan chicken, French Country Rack of Lamb, and the like.
Go National for Experience only. They are a stepping stone to the next phase. nm
Atkins was too harsh for me, but SouthBeach was really good.
if you are one who has problems tolerating Atkins. I got severe migraines and had to quite for a while, but then I started SouthBeach and did much better on it.
Best of luck whichever way you decide to go!

Atkins Diet - Has anyone stayed on this program for the long run?
I've tried it a couple of times, did well, lost weight, but never really got going with the maintenance program. Has anyone done so? If so, I would appreciate any advice, hints, etc. Thanks!!
Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in
nm
Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
I would buy book by Dog Whisperer. His TV shows covers things like this and would think his book mi

In the beginning ........... there were NO
nationals ..........
I was beginning to think it was just me...sm
I see these kinds of questions so often. I was beginning to think everybody worries about this junk.
I don't see any of that in the beginning.
I thought, from your post, that you were an IC who failed to understand basic economics.
In the beginning there were a lot of
bugs with Vista. Also, if what the MTSO has is compatible with their clients, why upgrade and possibly loose clients???
I'm beginning to wonder if that's all there is left is
crap dictation. Most of us say we're doing the crappy dictation and ESLs. So the good stuff is really going overseas or to VR? Or are there people here who get the good stuff all the time, which is why they make good money and we don't?
As I stated right at the beginning....
If it were ME, I would be blaming myself. Each and everyone of us are responsible, one way or another, as to what happens in our lives. Too many people over the past so many years find it much easier to place the blame elsewhere. That is one of the problems with our society. I was "accused" of being an over-protective parent as my child grew up, but guess what, he never, ever even came close to an incident such as that, or close to being kidnapped or any of the other things going on in the world; didn't fall down steps; wasn't involved as a passenger in a car accident, wasn't around drug users or "bad" people, because I PAID ATTENTION...I didn't allow accidents. Accidents are only LACK OF ATTENTION and lack of common foresight!
Also, my "over-protectiveness" did not in any way inhibit my child's growth. He is a Gunnery Sargeant in the Marine Corps and handles great responsibility well and has the foresight and the attention needed to prevent accidents!
As for the driver of that car, I'm not trying to "take their side"....I'm just saying we don't know what the circumstances were....my goodness, we have all run over something in the road at one time or another and when the weather is inclement or it is dark, sometimes you don't know what it is. I would certainly hope that if they knew it was a child, of if they find out through newscoverage that they ran over a child, that they will come forward. I'm sure that at least 99.9999% of people out there will not willfully run over anyone. Perhaps he/she looked down at the dashboard or the left rear window for just that one second and felt a thump as he car moved on. Probably wondered what it was but had no idea whatsoever that it was a child....why would any driver in their right mind think that a 2 year old was out on the highway at 2:00 AM or midnight or whenever it was????? 
No, definitely no keto in the beginning of it.
I have listened to this dang thing 10 times at least and at a bunch of different speeds..... no clue on this one.
2000 is only the beginning
Believe me, that $2000 is only the beginning. I do feel for these people but many of them are only used to hand outs and they will be getting them left and right. Lets see how many of them stand in line for a job. I heard that WalMart will hire any evacuee, no matter what. I wish they would report how many have been hired thus far. I was watching Fox news the other day and one of the guys they were talking to said something along the lines of "They aint helping us at all, its like they shipped us all on slave boats again" He then said the F word, which Fox didn't see coming because you could hear it plain as day. Now that is the state of mind of many of these people. Give me, give me. The welfare system has tought many that the government will take care of them, they do not have to take care of themselves. Now I am not talking about all the evacuees just the ones that are not used to fending for themselves.
Okay, said what I had to say. This just all gets to me.
I do agree with you, too. In the beginning
I found the posts hilarious as well. But I got rather turned off with Frankie Boy. Things got graphic and very disturbing. I think that is when everything started adding up for me.
I like when everyone sticks to a name, as well. Things get confusing! I just hope this stops with whoever is trying to ruin this board!
The beginning salary for (sm)
a GS-0640-5 is $24677. Top end at that grade is $32084. Some localities have a higher pay scale, depending on the local economy. It's likely there will be no chance of promotion unless your supervisor quits, retires, or dies and you happen to be selected for the position. You must work to age 65 or 20 years of service, which ever comes later. Search

p.r.n. at the beginning of a sentence
P.r.n. is incorrect. The correct way to type this would be:
1. Ibuprofen p.r.n.
not
1. P.r.n. ibuprofen
Slow beginning
Paid by the line, my first job paid less than $2.00/hour. First year earnings were about $10,000. Currently, depending on the worktype and dictator available, working for a National, I earn an average of $16/hr with the worst times being $7.00/hr and the best times being in excess of $22/hr. Again, the quality of the dictation makes a huge difference in production, obviously. I use Instant Text, the Expander program, which has made a huge difference.
Thanks. Good tip. I was really beginning to wonder ! nm

It's a great beginning
I think it's great and a step in the right direction. I think what this industry needs from us is proactive steps toward making it known to people outside of the industry just what is taking place. If every MT concerned about their job security wrote letters to the President, their representatives, media people - reporters, in particular, and it began to resonate with people just what is taking place, maybe changes would actually happen. It costs nothing to shoot off an email to a local reporter, a member of Congress, the Senate, etc. Let's get them to pass laws making it illegal to send medical records overseas.
Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..
Does anyone use both. I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both. I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know.
I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions. I can handle that.
Numbers at beginning of sentence
I know that if a number begins a sentence you spell it out, but I'm not sure about after a colon. We type:
BLOOD LOSS: 50 cc.
but what about
FLUIDS: 500 cc normal saline. (?)
Does the "500" need to be spelled out since there are words after the quantity, or is it considered part of a sentence beginning with "FLUIDS?"
I'm beginning to think that the Kevin vote is
America making fun of American Idol. I can't see how he's gotten enough votes and I do really hope he doesn't last much longer as he's certainly not in a league with the rest of the performers on the show this year. I'm afraid Bucky will probably fall for the same reason. There are several really great performers this year, these 2 just aren't.
True. This is at least the 3rd one since the beginning of the year.

I am totally beginning to agree.
What other occupation that I know of can the employer get away with paying late, no benefits, and sometimes not paying at all.
I'll find it and let you know. I was beginning to think this was all about

Need advice on beginning MT Business
Hi.
Was at my chiropractor's office today. As the conversation progressed Dr. suggested that I might be able to get involved with their office doing MT work. Offices in five states, new doctors that become busy need MTs to do their transcription. I have owned my own business in the past and understand the in's and out's of that part of it.. My question is how would I set up a platform to do the work in case it would become busy enough to need another MT to help, software, expanders, etc. I have a few very simple ideas like using MS Word and creating macros that can be sent to aother MT, etc. but not sure that is what I would do.
Is there anyone out there with any suggestions or ideas?
Shift - home will do it backwards to the beginning

I don't add it to the beginning as the noun is understood, especially if it a verbatim
account I would not change it.
ERs.. beginning/middle and end. Short story almost.

Add the Ctrl + B commands at the beginning and end of entry.
You click the command button in the Add window. The manual has more instructions.
chapped lips are caused from dehydration in the beginning and sm
chapsticks are a chain reaction causing continual need.

I work for a large company beginning with an "M" and make
10.5 for text and 7 cpl for speech recognition. I work 10 hours a week and make 800 a month. I'm old and slow too.
At the beginning, thought the whole thing had been a dream - thank goodness it wasn't.

Agree, we are only seeing the beginning of losing so many jobs overseas to India, China, etc., etc.,
 This is a sad reality. However, our country has let this go on for years now.
The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm
s
Medical Word Book by Sloan, Surgical Word Book by sm
Tessier, Dorland's dictionary, BOS, and my very fave I think is now out of print but called Spellright by Rice.
Nothing new since the beginning of time..calories in, calories out. good food choices..portion size
Well then, don't start at the beginning, start in

That would be a lab value, so I'd use a lab book. sm
I realize you're doing practice tapes so you're not going to have all the reference books. I personally rely on the internet as little as possible because there's a lot of false info out there....just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's true! It's really impossible to do this job without your own set of reference books....MANY of them. For what you're doing today there is no one site that will answer all of your word questions.
book
Some of the websites are good, but the Stedman's book is the best.
Got that book
that's a big scam too. Don't waste your time or money.If you really want to see it, email me and I would be glad to share it. Sorry about the extra money thing...I have no ideas either but i would be interested in finding out more myself if anyones knows!
M-TEC is #1 in my book, followed by . . .
Andrews. Both programs are comprehensive, and many companies wave the standard 2-year experience requirement for grads of these schools.
