Just remembered ...
My youngest was 2-3 yo, wearing a bright grass green terry type jogging shorts suit (OMG, do you remember THOSE?? - tank, shorts ROFL). He got in GREEN food coloring, my niece was watching him while I was in the bank. The food coloring had fallen out of a bag. Luckily, the car (exterior and interior) was green ........ Sure made his bright blue eyes stand out LOLOL .... I THINK I let him get in the bath with lotsa bubbles, etc, and most of it came off. Worth a shot anyway. (this was 20 years ago, so I'm foggy on the details).
At least you were remembered.
How sad that you see the glass as half-empty.  I choose to think of it as half-full - she was not obligated to send you anything.  Ever heard this? "It's the thought that counts!"  When you have a thankful heart blessings are multiplied.
Remembered

Today I went to have my first mammogram and US.  The location I went to was not the office I worked in, but it had the same group of radiologists I had worked for.  As the mammo tech finished her pics and went to see the radiologist, I asked her to tell Dr. R*** hello for me.  (I had already mentioned I'd transcribed for the other office).  She said she would.  After the US, the tech told me Dr. R*** had told her - "Hey, I know that girl!"  And he came running in the door to say hi.  He was all smiles as he came in, and said he was sorry it was under these circumstances (dx mammo), but he was very cute with his enthusiasm to see me.  I was really touched. 


(I do have to have a bx; the studies did not indicate either malignancy or benignancy, but it feels benign). 


I just remembered,

last week I bought a new Logitech LX3 optical mouse at WalMart, again under $20, which has a USB connection, but it also came with a PS2 adaptor included.


I don't know where or if you can get a cheap flat screen monitor.  I had to buy a replacement for my flat-screen Acer that died but I couldn't afford another new flat screen.  I got a very large monitor that must weigh about 75 pounds - the thing is just huge - but it was only $25 from a custom computer store here in town that sells used and refurbished computers.  They had a bunch of the big ones piled up in the back room (everybody wants the flat-screens) and they said I could take my pick for $25.  I got the biggest one they had.  It's bulky but I'm really delighted with it. 


Thanks for the response, I should have remembered. (sm)
Glad you got a laugh out of of it...I figured I could legitimately say I was in training because my Mom had it.  You gave me exactly what I needed, thanks.
Nice being remembered

That's wonderful!  It is very nice when they take even five seconds to wish you a happy holiday season or anything like that.  I've been sick with pneumonia and one of my doc's said in his dictation he hoped I was feeling better and that he would fully understand if I didn't keep my 24-hour return time; he even offered to bring dinner to my home one night for my family.  Another group gave me a nice Christmas bonus and invited me to their office Christmas party.  That is one reason I still like the good ole' fashioned tapes that I pick up and drop off - I get to interact with the doctors and other office staff, which seems to forge a relationship with them.  They realize I'm a human being with a family who works for a reason and that means lots.


Merry Christmas!


it's nice to be remembered
Hi Misha, Whatta thrill you were greeted so enthusiastically and joyfully by that doc. (I can almost see his impish ear-to-ear grin when he burst into the room.) Everything's gonna be alright, kiddo.
I would have been happy to be remembered. My big national..sm

did nothing - zero.  An e-card would have at least let me know they know who I am.  My small account sent me a regular card with a small bonus, which I appreciated VERY much.  It took the person a bit of time to send that card to you, so there was some thought that went into it.


I, personally, am happy to receive anything (even an e-card) than nothing at all.


I'm not an MTSO, just remembered seeing their ad, thought

Oh Wait!! Just remembered. Tech support was putting my PRD into

may continue to work if I just load WORD on my old workhorse computer I have here.  And I will be fine.  Oh please lawd, let this work. 


It worked; I remembered to download the work into E-Dictate

Don't forget to ask...

What types of accounts you will have and whether you will have backups if your primary runs out of work. Do they pay for spaces and use of expansions or normals? Are hours flexible if you need it? Is there any charge for equipment? software? Is tech support available all the time? How soon do the bennies such as health insurance kick in? How often do you get paid and when can you expect your first paycheck? Do they give pay raises, incentives or anything else that can increase your income? What kind of training will you get until you are comfortable with the accounts? Are there a lot of ESLs? 


Whether they answer any questions honestly or not you will find out when you get started. Probably best to run the company name on MTStars and see what you get. Good luck!   


Will never forget

Yep, and don't forget 100% QA! LOL. Seriously, I

yes, that's what I always do, but don't forget
Frozen ham has a tendency to taste saltier, so when you use it, you probably won't need to add any salt.
and don't forget
Don't forget that before white out and all the other things, we had to use a razor blade to remove errors from ALL of the copies. I worked for a VA Hospital and everything had about 6 or 7 copies. Cut many a finger in those days, but learned how to be accurate really fast.
Forget about them and those like them and
live your life, period. I wish I could post a saying I got from Mother Theresa the other day but it does something like this:
People will hate you. Do good anyway. It was never about them, it's only about you and God. Something along those lines. And only half of these posts are nuts.
I'm sorry, but how can someone just forget...
Valentine's Day? That's like forgetting it's Christmas.  It's all over the TV, in the stores, everywhere you go, there was something about Valentine's Day.  I don't buy the "forgetting" thing at all...unless he lives under a rock or in a cave, he didn't forget...
Better to forget IC at 6 to 8 CPL
After you pay your taxes, it averages only 4 to 6 CPL.  I would rather be an employee.  Never will go IC again.
And let's not forget..............nm

Don't forget sm
you'll probably be typing headers and a bunch of junk. Not for me, but if you do it, make sure you'll get paid for it.
don't forget a
It really helps if you can have someone who is just in charge of the money. They could sit at a table and concentrate on just taking in the money. You can get really distracted when buyers want to ask you about merchandise. So much fun at the end of the day adding it all up and treating yourself to a yummy lunch!
just like me to forget something..
also must pay local tax and Soc Sec tax of 15%.  Yuck!
yes, and don't forget

Oh and don't forget...

the one I came across that took it to the bathroom with him and it was still running!!!  GROSS!!!!!!! 


Forget it. You do not need it.

don't forget to look at
overstock.com when purchasing! I've found a couple of books there cheap, and the shipping is usually cheap, too. They do have the CD version for $42 and change right now with $1.40 shipping.
Sometimes they forget
My friend is a speech pathologist. She told me that before she met me, she never used to think of the transcriptionist. She hated dictating, but she had to do it. So she used to dictate as fast as possible just to get it over with, not thinking that someone had to figure out what she was saying. But now she makes an effort to be understood and actually acknowledges MT and will say good day and thank you.
Don't forget.....
Work is not guaranteed, no pay for downtime (or rarely), must know all specialties, be around when work is there - not necessarily what you agreed to, work over or get no work, be availabe via phone, messagers and email, oh and be an Office and Word expert cause we aren't providing any help with that...Plus, lunch is at your desk...I bet starbucks even gives you a lunch break without whining about it.
Don't forget to consider your
chair height and whether your hands are too high compared to your elbows.

Don't forget
Things like benefits, paid holidays, vacation and sick pay. Those all add to your per line rate as an employee, and you should be compensated appropriately to offset these things as an IC.
Forget it
You won't get a vacation unless you can find another IC or two who can fill in for you. Also, you will need to schedule around your doctors' vacations - at this point in my life, I don't want to work around the clock anymore and I wouldn't do it, but if you're up for it, you go girl.

Should be FORGET actually, sorry! nm

Don't forget also that
the SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING !!! Run to your underground shelter ASAP !
Yes, like rabbits! You remembered I really like rabbits!!

I have lots and lotsa rabbits! 14 to be exact!  I wish there were rabbit smilie faces, or sad faces, or biting rabbit faces.  Rabbits can bite, ya know?? And, yes, they like to make more rabbits! Lots and lots of rabbits!


Don't forget this cutie!
sexy
so true and don't forget

my head hurts from the whinnnnnney voice and her total clueless-ness of what


an MT does.


Don't forget the so ever "critical" ....sm
omission of apostrophe's now.  According to them it's no longer Alzheimer's disease but Alzheimer disease.   Sounds stupid as crap and makes it look like we're a bunch of idiots to type things this way. 
don't forget the shoe

WHAT? SO YOU WANT US TO FORGET YESTERDAY?

.


Don't forget Poophead...

Don't forget the tax deductions
Pleae keep all your receipts for hearing-aids/batteries, etc. and check with your tax preparer at year's end or before. I would think this would be deductible but worth asking about.
Forget about it. Some people only come here

to criticize others because they have nothing in their real lives to feel good about.  If they have to go around telling us what we do "wrong" and how perfect they are, they have some serious self esteem issues there.  Nice judgmental personality types, too.


There's a big difference between an occasional alcoholic beverage and a full-blown substance abuse problem.  Unfortunately, public schools teach kids that their parents are "doing drugs" if we imbibe at all.  DH and I like an occasional cold Corona with lime to wash down spicy food.  Now, our kid thinks we're going to be arrested or die from "doing drugs".


Life isn't black or white, all or nothing, good or bad.  There are a lot of gray areas out there.  Some people on the boards need to learn that they aren't perfect enough to pass judgment on the rest of us.  There's only ONE person who's fit to do that.


Okay, bye! Don't forget to take your meds on the way out!
The level of anger and frustration is actually quite sad.
Oh and before I forget, I am so glad I did not
listen to you all and panic and take him to the hospital.  There was no reason for it as, come to find out, angioedema is NOT lifethreatening (very rarely is it) and only when there is difficulty breathing.  Talk about a bunch of panic-ridden posters!!  WOW!!!
set hours forget about it
not with kids
um because they forget to change the nm to
a simple forgetful error - no need to *vent* about it.....we all do the best we can.....  
I think I could forgive..but not forget.

If either him or I cheated, the trust is gone in the marriage.  I think I would forgive him (not right away) as he is the father of my kids and I will always have a relationship with him whether married or not, but I I think at that point, the marriage would be over.  That's what marriage is to me, loyalty to each other.  I would say he feels the same way.  I can forgive anyone, it's just my nature, but I don't forget.


DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

Don't forget you are also describing
yourself if you are an MT, which I am sure you are.
forget it - i found it
