Buy a bark breaker from pet supply catalog (sm)

Posted By: Dog person on 2005-07-12
In Reply to: What to do about a neighbor's yapping dog? - going nuts!

PetEdge (they are also online) sells a couple of products for kennels that issue corrective noises for barking. You can install certain models outside aimed at the nuisance and it might train him not to bark.

survivor tie breaker

At tribal counsel, Aras had immunity from winning the immunity challenge and Terry wouldnt give up his immunity idol, so it was a tie - Danielle had 2 votes, Cirie had 2 votes. 


The tiebreaker will be to see who gets a fire started the fastest to burn through a rope and raise their flag  and that's how it ended - I think you may be right too, but I hope not


The deal breaker for me would be the following:
or evening or whatever time my shift would start in about an hour from then. I would think about the day I am just not feeling so great,or wanting quiet, or wanting peace and time to work by myself. Or the day where my boy has the sniffles and I have to find a sitter b/c expensive daycare won't take him and that is where he got the cold to begin with. I picture myself going through all of this, getting dressed up in whatever outfit I have to wear to the office, even just scrubs. I picture having to get gas for the car, the driving, the lunch to pack, or to eat with the other people in the office, and then I think about how if I worked at home I could just be there warm and cozy chillin out... Then, I know what I have to do. That is for me, though. You might be different. Bottom line: The child in me, and the child in my son. We want to stay home when we don't feel good. And we don't want the stress of the world sometimes. So, when I am at home and I run low on work, I consider myself lucky, and I putter around, and work at another time, even if it is in the wee hours of the morning. Because I can. And because being at home is where I can either put pressure on myself or take it off. Can't do that going out of the house. And can't be calling in sick every time my son gets a cold from day-care, etc. This is the answer straight from my heart. Hope it gives you some insight at least to another MT's ideas. Good luck to you.
snow would be the deal breaker for me
I like to see it snow here about once a year and then I want it to be gone after a day or so. This past winter we barely got a few flakes. It was actually too warm most of this winter, even for me. I love the spring and fall in NC. Starting to get some really warm days now though.

Oh, and love me some sweet tea. Don't think I could live without that! Bojangles sweet tea is the best!!!
Does any one know one with a beach and breaker sounds?
Thanks for sharing.  This is the first time I saw something like this. 
Ordered from Medical Arts Press catalog
on a previous job. They have different styles and sizes to choose from.
I don't, but my neighbors do and all it does is bark

yap, yap, yap, yap all day long.  Enough to drive anyone nuts.  My kids have nicknamed him "Yappy."  A woman I work for also has one and hers yaps all day long too. 


So if you don't mind the constant yapping, go for it  They're still awful cute even with their little jaw flapping. :)


They don't always bark for a reason

Everywhere I've ever lived (and I've moved around like a rolling stone) there has been at least one dog in the vicinity that barked to enjoy the sound of its own voice.  Plenty of them bark out of sheer boredom, just like people who run their mouths to fill the silence.  Many of them do it when their owners are gone, and behave when their owners come home.


I've had to train all my dogs not to bark.  Kudos to people who at least make an effort.  A lump of coal to those who don't feel happy without the din of several yapping dogs 24/7.  Its noise pollution, give other people a break and train your dogs.


I save a vitamin catalog for homeo stuff. Swanson's

a bark?? I thought it sounded like a cat!!

It is disturbing the peace if they bark incessantly.
We have a bark collar for our dog and bring her in if she's barking.  She barks at anyone that walks by, which is what I want because she's our guard dog.  Our neighbors aren't so nice.  I've gotten to the point where I just lean out the window and yell, "SHUT UP!!!!"  I don't like to involve the cops or animal control because our neighbors are the type to retaliate.
I just heard it! Sounded like a bark to me, but could have been a "woo".
Too funny!
not only that, but most co's do not supply...sm
supply any of the equip, have 800 access (pay your own internet) etc, etc, very little financial help. AND the biz about "not enough MTs" is bull, the ones that know better, don't want to take the cut. This is all due to GREED, of the biggies, creating a ceiling price for us, but not for them, just bigger profits in their pockets for the deal when they leave... very well taken care of. CRUMMY deal for us.
its all about supply.
hahahahahahaha
furthermore, when companies as us to supply ULD....
they are in essence asking us to do something ILLEGAL because we are not allowed to use ULD from transcription.....PERIOD!  I wonder if they even realize this?  It's time they did!
All my docs supply their own
paper, letterhead, envelopes, etc.  I did have one doc that wanted sticky paper, but the office supplied it to me at no charge.  I would give them a copy of the receipt when you purchase it.  Attach it to the bill with a small charge for having to go and buy it for them.  Could you perhaps speak to the office manager who could maybe have their person who purchases supplies order it for you? 
Car power supply.
I use a power converter that you can buy at Wal-Mart for about $35. I keep it in the car all the time.
When you want work they do not have to supply any
So, if they do not like the fact you jump as soon as it comes in, or if you get a headache and they get annoyed, for example, they do not have to supply you with work any longer. This leads to the IC jumping at the client's whims and rules, or flat out finding another client. These days, though, IMHO, it is hard to find a client which does not withdraw work if you don't meet their criteria. Guess it is part of the TAT, competition going on everywhere.
Go to Sally's Beauty Supply
I use the Wella color-- comes in a small bottle. Buy your own developer. It is professional quality stuff and the sales people are knowledgeable.
It's been maybe 4-5 years since I worked there, but no ... seems like they supply it to you. nm

MT is just like any other business, - supply and demand -
if India is doing it at 8 cpl do you really think America is going to hold at 16? Yes, eight years ago, 16 cpl was not unheard of. Today, many MTSO's do not dare even raise rates. We have not raised rates for 3 years and don't intend to. Which means MT's don't get raises either. But you either deal with it or you get out and get into another field. "if wishes were horses, even poor men could ride"
Not necessarily. Supply & demand...
If prices are stable, quality will begin to count again. It's simply a cost vs benefit analysis. Just like some US MTs stink on the quality scale, I hear some Indian MTs are quite good. When the cost is stable enough that docs can't "settle" for poor quality (which many of them really don't care - it's just another requirement they must fulfill), then they'll look for quality again. Those of them who are quality MTs, will be able to compete, and with the increased competition based primarily on quality, the substandard MTs will go away, both Indian and US, but with cost being the sole driving factor, it's my belief that the quality of the average US MT is no longer much better that the average Indian MT.

No, she does not.She will be asking us "the govt" to supply her necessities
and we will do it.  You and I, who carry Wal-Mart purses (speaking for myself, of course).  Makes me mad too.  I also noticed the Budweiser can.  Jaundiced eye?  I think not.
We keep a 2 week supply of canned food,

a Coleman stove, propane, water, etc.,  in our basement because we live in an area that is prone to heavy snow and blizzards, low temperatures, and we cannot always get out in wintertime, but I sure don't see any long lines of the politicians here pretending to help us. They would free their backsides so, thankfully, they stay out of our business and we stay safe.  I have quit sympathizing with those who know they are in the path of storm and do nothing about it.  The idiots in Cancun knew that area was directly in the path so now they moan and groan because they can't get out.  Too bad! 


As far as Florida goes, you go through this same thing several times a year, so you have been through the drill.  If you don't like the weather, move somewhere else.  Don't stand in lines with your hands out waiting for sympathy.


 


the supply slowly dwindles, and you give up and go elsewhere...sm
what is the point of making a high line rate, when there is so little work available, you have to find two, three and four services to make the same amount that you did at ONE! This is a very sad biz!!
Go to a beauty supply store in your area and ask them.
You can buy the professional stuff even if you're not a beautician. My SIL says not to use the box stuff. She buys tubes of coloring and uses two or three different shades to get more highlights and lowlights so it looks more natural instead of being unicolor. She's a licensed cosmetologist/beautician or whatever they're called nowadays.
I agree with medical supply company .../sm
I just finished staying with my uncle during his last few months of lung cancer. The motorized lift action was a godsend the last few weeks when he had trouble standing up to get into his walker and move around. We were fortunate in that one of the relatives had a relative who had a relative... etc... anyway, we were able to get a used lift chair in good condition for a lot less, but even if you have to pay full price at medical supply store, it is definitely the way to go if your mom has mobility problems or you think she will in the near future.
installing an uninterruptable power supply (UPS)

I am preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.  What concerns me is a power outage causing me to be unable to work for long periods of time.  I have just purchased a generator but also am wondering if anyone has any information on installing an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to their computer which is apparently a battery that will run your computer.  I work for a national and wonder if this is permitted?


Anyone?


Atlanta medical book supply store?

I would so appreciate some help.  I just started an IC job.  I wasn't told I would need a word Expander and medical spellcheck.  Every other place I have worked for provided these.  I need to get something fast, i.e., in person now if possible!, as I am already working and not very productive without these two items.  There was a store I went to years ago in downtown Atlanta where I got some medical books near the Fox theater.  Does anyone know if it is still there and the name of it?  I don't have any yellow pages and I have not been able to pinpoint anything on Google.  Thanks so much!


It is useless to supply facts because they don't matter, only emotion. NM

With mail order I paid $15 for a 3 month supply,
the same as I would pay in my local phamarcy for a 1 month supply, so saved $30.00 going through the mail versus buying locally.   It was with ExpressScripts  (sp), which is the drug program that comes with our insurance.

I would just supply one digital copy, either send the work back
via an FTP site or email attachment or whatever, or keep addending to a CD, but let them keep their own archives. And why can't they print when you deliver the CD or the work in digital format? I don't do any printing at all. Everything goes back digital and they keep their own copies. Once I bill for the month, everything gets deleted, as it should be under HIPAA.
Any tattoo shop mostly, hot topic, sally's beauty supply...SM
