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.
Any tattoo shop mostly, hot topic, sally's beauty supply...SM

Any place that pierces, head shop, etc. Hope that helps.


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.
Me too Sally (sm)

Dictaphone strips?
How about the Dictaphone belts.  They were strips of..whatever??  that we put into the Dictaphone machine to transcribe.  We first would put them into the doctor's machine for his dictation (at the clinic I worked at).  Then when he was done either he or the nurse would bring the magnetic? strip and clinic papers to me and I would transcribe on my IBM Selectric typewriter..LOLOLOL..Thanks for the memories, fellow transcriptionists!
Sally on hunting

I also hate to think about all the deer being shot, just reminds me to much of Bambi.


That said, I am surrounded on 2 sides by the worst car versus deer highways in our state.  The deer population is becoming way too much, they're multiplying like rabids and I'd rather see then killed quickly than lying on the side of the road injured or stuck in the windshield of the car that hit them.


Sorry, I value the life of a human over that of an animal and these accidents or killing, maiming and causing way to many families heart ache and grief


Thank you Sally!! At least one person
what it means to hunt, eat, and save money. The meat is not wasted!!! My whole family hunts and we have enough for a full year, so hardly have to buy meat at the store, unless we want chicken, which, gee, comes from chickens which is an animal, right!!???
Mine strips FOR me!
LOL...

Actually, my spouse is a web designer.

I use Veet wax strips (sm)
I used the tub of wax and strip method for a long time and that works good, but I recently started using Veet strips and they're awesome.  You just rub them between your hands to warm up the wax. 
sticky strips
We went through this at the hospital I worked for a couple of years ago and I can't quite remember why it turned out to be okay to register patients like this, but supposedly it was okay. My doctor's office has you write your name on a sticky strip which they immediately take off so it does not stay on the record there, but they still do call your name, so you can't travel incognito if you wanted to. It does seem like a violation of some sort. My drug store won't even tell my husband my Rx is ready for pick up, even though I've told them it's okay.
sticky strips, RXs

Thanks for reminding me what they're called!   As for the RX thing, my pharmacy is the same way.  You know it's just a huge CYA thing, and creates many inconveniences for "us," but they don't want to fool with a lawsuit. 


Anyway, from what I've read here, either some places are okay, and others are in violation.  Fortunately it hasn't affected my life.  It's been interesting to read the different posts, though.


Sally and Tilly...

...are meeting Gert at the automat. 


Don't mind me.  I am punchy from being being on and off the computer all day, waiting for reports to trickle in. 


Great answer Sally. Thanks for the laugh! ...nm .

That's the beauty of this gig....


that's the beauty of Babs
She can blow.
She can write.
She can produce.
She her stage presence is just quiet elegance all the way.

Celine, Christina - beating on the chest - thug life - no, no

Houstoneb4bobby - mesmerizing - I've got CDs, LPs and sheet music.

Mariah Carey - A rare jewel.

LIZA - one of a kind. Stage presence, range, projection. LOVE HER.....
Beauty Without Cruelty
These products are also not tested on animals and do not use animal products in them.  I think a lot of aging has to do with sun exposure.  I don't have the around-the-eye wrinkles, but do have forehead lines because I squint.
Thats the realy beauty of this job
I can have my 12-pack Bud cooler right here besides me and type naked.
maybe she doesnt read comic strips but she has her head in the clouds
you are one of those who thinks their kids can do no wrong.  right?  It doesnt matter WHAT SHE DID, it doesnt give someone the right to KILL HER!!!!!!!!! Hello!!!!!! It doesn't mean her parents were bad parents.   HELLO.   Judge not!!!!!!!
I think you qualify - as long as you can remember using white out. Those little strips of chalky
paper better yet. 
Sally's? Wow, I would never have guessed. JCPenny carries some at their jewelry counter as well

Hi
As in your guestbook to include support html?
Your kitty is a beauty! Enjoyed your

blog.  Like the others, it made me appreciate what I have so much.  Your "little corner of the world" where you work looks so much like mine.  I, too, have my bird feeders and bird bath to look out at.  I also have two kitties who are my "co-workers".  Tip (angel in Thai), my ?-percent Siamese kitty is sleeping right next to my keyboard right now.  Taz (yes, a little black and white devil) stepped away for a while.  Sometimes I get so mad and hate transcription, but we really have to count our blessings.  Working in the comfort and safety of our home with our animal pals and family close by is worth its weight in gold!!! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face, MTBlab. 


You could try a local beauty school
Their rates are extremely reasonable.  The one near me only allows students to cut and style hair who are about to graduate so they are quite good !  Can't beat the price - about $7 !
Find Percu-Stay adhesive dressings/strips, but no sutures. nm

saw a great show the other night where they separated with fabric strips that had been tie-died

using golf balls.  I think this would look great and also be pretty see through so that your son felt like he had his own space but you would still be able to see what he was doing.  With a three-year old, I guess you would use a permanent mount curtain rod so that he couldn't keep pulling it down.  Good luck!

Is this beauty control? I use to sell, but never did parties. SM
I had my opening party, but that was it. I served the food at the table in the kitchen. Everyone just helped themselves and then sat in the chairs I had out in the livingroom to eat. Once we got started, everyone pretty much disposed of their plates and then settled in. I think it worked out good. I had everything ready when they showed up, but I think that everyone pretty much waits until other people get there before they start eating. I would definitely offer drinks when they get there though.

The menu sounds great, so don't worry about that. Seems like a lot of variety for them to choose from.

Don't be nervous...just relax and enjoy it. That's the purpose of the spa party :) Good luck!
formula
take the character with spaces number - divide by 65 and mutliply by your rate (0.11)- this would be with spaces - for without use the total charater count - use only after you save your work to ensure all characters are counted.
what is the formula
for a straight line count that MTstars program gives you - when I do - tools - properties - line ocunt is is much different - what is the formula used in the program - I thinkI may have been jipping muself.
formula
Divide your lines per hour by 60 then multiply by 15.
i.e. If you type 240 lines per hour; divide that by 60 = 4; then multiply 4 by 15 which would equal 60 words per minute.
I used that formula too for $.059 per line
xx
I think you must have their formula backward.
They probably divide the total by 15 to come up with your 30 minute production rate, then multiply that  by 2 to average out for 8 hour day if you are paid by the line or incentive program.    What you are saying makes no sense and would be a detriment to them in any type of worker dispute hearing. 
Formula of dictation
Depending on the dictation and your experience, the formula I have always used is: 4 minutes for every 1 minute of dictation or 225 lines minimum an hour.  It is usually required that a Transcriptionist do 100 minutes of dictation or 1,000 lines a day if you are working full-time.  I know some do less and some do quite a bit more.  I do anywhere from 1500+ lines a day.  I hope this helps.
this is equal to a very old formula
Back when documents were produced on typewriters, formulas were created to define the average length of a line. It was defined as 10 words with spaces, with the average word being 5 characters - thus 55 printed characters per line.

All the ad your reading is saying is that they will take all the visible characters you produce and divide it by 55 to decide your final production at the end of the day. It does not include bolding, underlining, hard returns, spaces, etc., as had been defined by the old AAMT.

The new AAMT/MTIA whatever it is called monster is redefining a line as only characters you see and this ad is embracing the new definition and defining 55 visible characters as a line. A 55 visible character line is approximately equal to a 65 line that includes spaces - but I bet they are not going to compensate for thespacesyouneedtoinsertintotthelinetomakeitreadable.


there has to be some sort of formula out there
to count the lines minus the headers and footers.
QA score formula
Can anyone post formula for figuring QA score.  Thanks!
Ohh, someone gave formula for figuring out

Formula for calculating lines?

Can anyone give me the formula for calculating lines rates? I need to know how much (money) is made if I transcribe 15,000 lines at 8 or 9 cents per line. Also, about how many pages is 15,000 lines (I know that each page will be different in lines for live transcription, but I'm looking for a ball park figure.) It's been a while since I have been on this payment format.


 


Formula: Dictation Minutes x 3 = 3 hours
That's always been the calculation -- a ten-minute report will take 30 minutes to type... one minute = three minutes, etc... Depending on how slow the doc is, though, you can really speed him up and sometimes type real-time.
I used to use MK foundation, but they changed the formula and now I'm allergic to it.
It makes my eyes water and I can't wear it any longer.  I haven't found a foundation that I like as well as the previous MK formula.  I wish they hadn't changed it.
Formula is: Characters PLUS spaces / 65 = lines. (nm)

I worked for a local hospital that used the same formula for our incentive pay.

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
127 if based on 65-char line (8243 divided by 65 is the formula) nm

People should have powdered formula/mild. Mix it up one bottle at a time.

Powdered formula/milk sounds like a good solution.
However, if you're out of a clean, nonpoluted water supply for over 2 weeks, with no resources available to receive such in the foreseable future, I don't believe even this alternative would suffice! Powdered formula needs to be mixed with something. The only alternative I could imagine available at this point in time would be urine, if you yourself were not totally dehydrated. If you were totally dehydrated & not producing urine, what is your next suggestion?
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.
