? For Snow Bunny
Somewhere on the board, I read that you mentioned a website www.productivity.com.  I keyed that in and good a website for some kind of tool manufacturer.    Could you double check the addy for the website - I can use all the help I can get to get my counts up. 
SNOW BUNNY NEED YOUR

help.  Now have involuntary jerking of hands and will be typing and hands just collapse downward.  Is there a program that we can talk into and it will type the words for us?  Please send me an email if you know of such a thing.


Snow Bunny - yes!
All the great classics! You ROCK, Mellencamp or not!
Snow Bunny
I am not on a high horse and I have no idea how on earth why you are so angry that I am happy to have a job for the rest of my working life. My post was merely made to share with others who have not experienced VR yet that it is nothing to be afraid of. Your tirade is completely inappropriate and off the mark.

I work in a very large teaching and research hospital where they dictate over the phone lines - they don't have the time to customize the VR and what we get in this hospital probably isn't as clean as what you get from a clinic or a hospital with a more stable dictating population.

I enjoy doing it and it entertains me to see how the computer prints out things phonetically.

You should consider another user name - bunnies are nice and snuggly - might I suggest Rabid Rabbit?
Okay, I think I know what snow bunny is saying
It doesn't seem like all opinions are welcome.  Someone protested about the fact they do not celebrate Christmas, and then we are bombarded with Merry Christmas all over the place..obviously trying to "stir things up."  Last week someone posted the word "God" in a non-religious tone, someone complained, and then someone posted "God" to try to stir things up, then that one gets erased.  Why are you picking and choosing, I know you're the owner, but as the owner aren't you supposed to be neutral? 
Snow Bunny-I need you....

would you please email me? i was wondering if you could help me with dns, i have questions about dns and working in templates.  it seems that you've had great luck with this product so i was hoping that you might know how to guide me.  TIA!!!!


Snow bunny is the one to ask on this - sm
she uses it and swears by it, but I know she stresss training and a good mic. I have the DVR Medical V.8, but I have been too lazy to train it and use it consistently. Plus I am not sure it would work for me except for a few doctors I do as I would have to do a lot of copy and pasting if I used it (use WP5.1) in WP11. My WP5.1 macros don't work in the WP format even in the blue window which stinks. If I could use them I would use it in a heart beat as I think it would be faster for me in the long run, but this is beside the point. If you do decide to try it buy the right one, the medical one is what you would want. I got mine on ebay for abour $300 (which I resold), then bought the upgrade for $150. So I spent about $200 for my whole set up. So you can buy it relatively cheaply if you look. Good luck.
thanks so much snow bunny-


Thanks Snow Bunny, I'll do that
And yes I do use an ergonomic keyboard, but it just seems the longer I do this, the less I can get done in a day because I can hardly type after 5-6 hours.

yes, Snow Bunny, I don't have a clue what
your point is.  Explain, please.
Me too. Snow Bunny turned me on to it. I use it every day. nm

Absolutely correct! Snow Bunny is right! nm

agree wtih snow bunny
Agree with snow bunny. It should be made into two sentences, thereby avoiding the use of "who" later in the sentence, which BTW, should be WHOM.
I've done the same thing, Snow Bunny - sm
I get a copy of MY MEDICAL records no matter where I go and check the transcription, and I will absolutely positively make corrections on them and return them to the doc/office/hospital in person and let them know that if I were looking for a lawsuit and money, this is where I would start, with my medical records! I then ask for a corrected medical report.
question for Snow Bunny...how long would you say
an average MT (15 years exp) would take to learn to do what you do, and still work enough to make money without losing any until up to where you are now...

Thanks, as always, for you input!
Quite frankly I am surprised at Snow Bunny
You have been on these boards long enough to know better. I am very surprised you would say such things in the manner you did. I always held you in such respect. Goes to show, you never really know someone.
Have you tried the Custom Biz Saver package Snow Bunny? sm
It's through AT&T and it's a business plan. C-phones were supported. I used it for a Lanier when I was IC and I was on it a lot, sometimes 10 hours a day. I had unlimited long distance and never had the problems you are having. Problem is you need to sign a contract for 1 year but even with that it was only $10.00 a month more than a residential line.
Read the archives for extensive posts by snow bunny.
No offense intended, but you probably won't get any new posts on the topic as it's already been discussed in great detail.  I just wanted you to know you're not being ignored.  Good luck with it!  I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks Snow Bunny. Good advice too. Hopefully, with the oil and possibly the Lindane, will eradica

Storms
I would unplug everything.  I live in NC, and this is the time of year we start to have daily afternoon thunderstorms.  And I mean DAILY.  I used to just unplug the power supply to everything and thought I was ok, but like the other poster said, I left the cable plugged in and lightning struck it and fried my television.  So, if you have your phone and computer hooked up to cable as well, I would unplug them just to be on the safe side.
storms lead to stray dogs.....
and we have one of those now for 2 years. He's a Collie mix, sooo sweet. We decided he's ours now, but he was extremely scared of storms at first. Now, he knows to come look for us. He stays inside and doesn't get as nervous as he used to, just wants someone close by. The vet gave us Ace (short for something), which I give him when there's ongoing storms. It sedates him a lot but doesn't put him out, unless I give him lots more. We just love, rub, and reassure him. We have a female cat that does the same...she cries and cries. That's also how we ended up with her, I' m sure, trying to outrun a storm. She never hangs around the dog, but during a storm, she goes and sits practically underneath the Collie for protection...the scared consoling the scared, but it gets her through it.
Hey tampa typists - I'm moving back despite the storms and despite
how much I hate the lifestyle of Tampa, but what can you do - that is where I make $$$
We had some storms with heavy rain yesterday but did not make a dent
in the dryness. The past few years we have been saturated with it raining constantly. Last year we were 40 some inches over the norm for rain at one point. This year dry as a bone and hot as heck. The little bit you get through the thunderstorms has not made a dent in our need for rain. The river is low.

The weather pattern is so strange.
I have a greyhound that absolutely hates storms, hides in the walk-in closet for at least an hour
after they are over.  She shakes, also, and if this gets bad, I give her Dramamine when I know a storm is coming up.  You might do this when storms are predicted, shouldn't do anything but calm them down and make them a little drowsy.  Also, be sure and give the medication for the first time when you are going to be around in case your dog has an adverse reaction.  Check with your vet for dosage -- Have a greyt day and hope this helps!
sure and I'm the easter bunny

Sunday's the day
Received an e-mail that Fox News had started the boycott, and not to buy gas on Sundays. The e-mail I received was not date specific.
Every Sunday
I work 9 hours every Sunday, but this was the schedule that I created.
We have a cocker spanial who is afraid of storms and afraid of the dark! He is up every night severa
Even with a night light he still gets afraid of the dark and I have to get up and pet him and tell him it is okay, et cetera. He will finally settle and go back to sleep, but will do it again throughout the night. I let him sleep in my room thinking it would help..but it didnt. He is just a big baby, so we love him and try to make him feel as safe as we can. If we have to deal with thunderstorms and the dark we are in for a long night!!
I'd eat bunny if it tasted like chicken!
yum?
But would you eat chicken if it tasted like Bunny?
:+ 
Her birthday was Sunday. :)
It's been up there at the top since Sunday. lol
it changed on sunday. my question is does this mean mq has given up
on lowering the line rate for "editing" now that they have given up the "correction" and put everything under transcription and what does "clerical" mean when you go for line count?  also QA and QC.  aren't they both the same?
Most companies are wanting a Sunday through
Thursday schedule, Tuesday through Saturday, so you would still be working 5 days, but would always be working 1 w/e day.  If you just rotate weekends it depends on the company what days you would have off during the week, whether they would dictate the days you took off or you would be able to choose. 
I only saw the first few minutes Sunday night.
It was a repeat. I will try not to give to much away. They were having an affair. She was about to tell him she was pregnant but he told her that they should cool things for awhile, so he doesn't know she is pregnant. Much more happens after this. I don't know if next week's episode is going to be new or not. Let me know if you need more info. I am hooked also.
Just got back from Disney on Sunday
at the Polynesian resort. We stayed there last year. Stayed at Grand Floridian this year (courtesy of in-laws). We had the Disney Dining plan, 1 counter service, 1 table service, and 1 snack per person per day. We found it worked out to be a good deal for us.
Thanks! I was devastated that I missed it Sunday!

I thought about my birth mom on Sunday (nm)

Will U still need Paul McCartney Sunday when he's 64?
Will U still feed him? Grandchildren on his knee - Vera, Chuck & Dave...
11 o'clock p.m. is still Sunday, and third shift
can vary with company, depending on if they are on one coast and you are on another.  I have been offered a 3rd shift job, but can start at 9:00 p.m. based on the time differences in our locations. 
only 1 alert from MTStars since Sunday??
Is there something wrong with the site or have the storms from Michigan hit the MTstars website?  It seems like I should have more than one alert from this board. Is anybody else having the same trouble? Just wondering and trying to stay dry. (As best I can since Michigan has had 4 days of rain and more forecast). 
I agree with "Snow Bunny" Federal govt. sm
Everyone new that New Orleans was pooooooooooooooooooooor
In our Sunday School class, now we teach!nm

SORRY. meant for MTSO post below. Must be Sunday
My only night off.  Big old brain cramp here!
I got lucky this year. Scheduled off is Sunday. :)

Not so lucky last year. I took on this job knowing that my scheduled work days were just that, holiday or not, and I've never minded.


I do ask for time off well in advance if I want it and the 2 companies I work for have never had a problem.


every sunday regularly; probably 2 sats a month
@@
Monday night- Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday, or both -sm
I usually goof off Saturday (or do very minimal work Friday night and Saturday) and then regret it and have have about 130 minutes to do on Sunday, does not make for a fun day.
Any Sopranos fans out there waiting for the big return on Sunday?
Can't wait.
We have such gorgeous weather here today, Easter Sunday!

What about where you are?! 


 


 


I would have been a hooker at Bunny Ranch (they make $1200/hr). My equipment is obsolete now

Entertain them? Chores? Church on Sunday? You women are a joke!
How you are reading that into my statements is really a hoot! Please tell me you don't have children! My, we are all on the defense over this - how many of you have no relationship with your kids? Soooooooo sad!!
Work Tuesday through Sunday morning on night shift. nm
