Nursing homes/care facilities aren't all they are cracked up to be (sm)
I have a sibling who just lost their spouse. Every time the spouse was in the nursing home, they became ill to the point of needing hospitalization. Dehydration? They weren't giving the poor thing fluids!!! Kidneys shut down and then they died.

I think I'd rather die before being put into a nursing home and I think I will add that to my advanced directives living will.
I wish more people would spay, neuter and take care of the pets
they've already got instead of expecting everyone else to deal with their problem.  I get tired of the loose animals running around our neighborhood.  People just dump their animals because they can't be bothered to care for them.  We've got hundreds of cats running around having kittens all over the place.  The kittens wind up feral.  My pets are "rescues", but I can't take on any more.  I won't, either.  It's like kids.  Don't have more than you can properly take care of.  Don't expect me to take care of the problem you created either.
Thank you! I just hope to find another doctor that WILL CARE! Maybe the next one will be
much better.  I just had some BAD luck.
Isn't it funny how something so innocent
can stir up so much anger from a few people.  I am very mature; however, sometimes I just need to goof off.  Ever heard of goofing off or breaking up the monotony of work/life.  Didn't think so!
I'm not saying that some innocent people don't

get HIV/AIDS, but it is 100% preventable.  This is not just my opinion, it is the opinion of medical professionals.


I'm not judging anyone and I've helped people with addictions try to get help.  I even do transcription for a residential detox facility so I "see" a lot of stuff.  I just don't happen to believe that everyone who is an alcoholic truly has a disease process.


My son has ADHD, been diagnosed twice, by 2 very prominent specialists.  I don't allow his ADHD to be an excuse for poor behavior. 


 


we did with 2 homes - SM
my only advice is to wait (if you can) until you can take advantage of 10% off or free padding plus 12 months same as cash deal (or if you open a new HD card for the 12 months free financing sometimes you get 10% off your first purchase). Hey, it adds up. Had both berber and plush installed 3 times by HD and they did a super terrific job - measuring, installation AND clean up. They did better than my mom's "professional" carpet business LOL for much, much less $$.
big homes do not mean
that a doctor makes a fortune. People who are wise with their money etc can have large homes too. Doctors do not make a killing doing what they do unless they have their practice plus teaching and research positions. They do make good money - but our problem is not them trying to bilk us out of ours. lets keep to the problem, due to what the doctors or hospitals considering off shoring our work for a bigger profit because of their expenses, we are losing out. Everyone wants to make money, many NEED to make money - does not matter whether you are a regular Joe, a hospital or a doctor - it is the way they have to go about it that sucks. Insurance, malpractice and otherwise, nonpayment of bills, equipment etc causes their complaints of not profiting on the work they do.

If the government would put a stop to the Pharma companies and research blockades etc, a little more normalization would occur. The only other thing is that they eventually will find that off shoring cost more when you add in the cost of editing and poor quality.

But then many big nationals off shore the work so the doctor do not see it.

Check out many of the web sites for all of them. you will find something on most on accepting applicants. And if you don't check out some overseas freelance sites, they advertise there. I will stick to the smaller ones and hope they do not go off shore as well.
Yeah, but it's always the innocent bystanders

that get caught in the crossfire.


Innocent until proven guilty .. except on the web
And apparently if you don't provide a link, that is an open invitatio to be doubted and called a liar? Even without a link, I am perfectly capable of looking into it for myself and I try never to rush to judgment without having all the facts first. It only proves to make me look like a bitter jerk otherwise.
So we are guilty until proven innocent?
And who decides what "bad" things are?  The definition of "bad" can change at any moment.  Voicing your opinion on a chat forum could one day be considered "bad."  Anything could.
My prayers are with you and your husband, and the 3 innocent
just reading the posts and feeling saddened for your situation.
Does anyone know if Nursing Homes have MTs? Thanks.

Nursing Homes
I used to work for a clinic consisting of 6 doctors and they dictated their nursing home visits along the rest of their dictation once a week. Good luck:)
Mobile homes are many here in NC, and
they are not a good deal, IMO. Every tornado heads straight for them like they are magnetized, and they seem to burn down a lot. Now I had a townhouse that I lived in for 11 years, and I made quite a nice profit due to the fact they were attractive, had a bit of land and nice landscaping, and were in a good location. I think I paid $85,000, and sold it for $119,000 11 years later. Not bad for a townhouse.
My old country homes
In my home in Iowa, I have Hughes Net and seemed to do okay with it, although, as noted, lag times are a bit more than true broadband/high speed. At my SO's home in Missouri, it comes from some rinky-dink company called Midwest Data Center, although I'm sure they must get their feed from somewhere else. Again, for general surfing there is only a minimal lag time between page loads. However, when working via a VPN, I have had prolonged waits during anything that involves swapping data with the outlying mainframe. This would be cc's, demographics, and final saves on ExText and a couple other proprietary sites I've used. Being production oriented, if you get a lot of short 1-3 minute reports, the wait times really start to add up paycheck-wise. I'll also note that I've had very little trouble with audio files, although, again, a 25 minute report is going to take a bit longer to download than a DSL customer is used to. There have been a few VPNs over the years that I was not able to connect to at all and had to use my standby dialup; however, somehow they for the most part self-corrected in the last six months or so and now I can go pretty much anywhere I want to stick my little VPN. Hope this helps!
innocent baby seal slaughter
I think the contraversy about this hunt is the way it is done. Many people in the US deer hunt, only it isn't seen as cruel since they use a gun or bow. Maybe if the Canadians changed their way of going about their horrific seal hunt it wouldn't be seen as so cruel? Just a suggestion! And, I think the before poster was wrong stating that animals do not have human feelings........did you see The March of the Penguins? Mothers who lost their own tried to steal others and felt quite sad and heart-broken! I guess we truly do not know, but part of me thinks they feel just like we do when it comes to loving and protecting your young. :)
Not looking for drama in innocent post. Thread
x
My x-rated emails were innocent on my part
I am larger size lady and went on the internet looking for plus size clothing sites. Well, the internet had a mind of its own and went to plus size ladies. I got all kind of stuff sent to me. Hey, I am a married lady and only looking for clothing, not a date.
This is the only way my husband and I have sold our homes. sm
And it was very easy despite what naysayers may thik or say. My husband is very knowledgable with real estate law, so that helps us a great deal. He has all the forms you need on our computer, etc. He can communicate well with others, etc. He asks for earnest money and he does ask if they have already been pre-approved or if their house if for sale, etc.

Since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, I can go anytime and show any one of our homes for sale.

You can definitely do it yourself. Don't be afraid and don't let others intimidate you. My parents "lost" 30,000 in real estate fees in Alaska. Basically, they went to an agent who put their house up for sale. The agent never showed up to the open house, my mom had about 15 people come and look that afternoon and she had no idea what to do. One of the guys who attended was an officer in the military who wanted a contract signed THAT DAY. My parents state that the only good thing her real estate guy did was provide an office for the paperwork to be signed. There was a high demand in her neighborhood at the time (about 3 years ago).

Transcription For Funeral Homes

Hi


Does anyone know for sure what type of medical transcription funeral homes would use?  I don't think they would be autopsies, but someone told me they utilize this service.


Any advice is appreciated.


Thanks....Kymee


I had the same problem. Our neighborhood is very close and there are a lot of homes.
I looked up the neighbor's phone number after I saw her name in tax records.  I called her and told her I was a neighbor and that her dogs were disturbing the peace. I told her she may not realize it but some people were sick or had small children who were resting at various times of the time and she could not leave her dog barking all day long.  I told her we were all talking about calling the police (which I had already done to establish the law and found out you cannot leave a barking dog in your yard in our neighborhood no matter what time it is according to the police) but I decided to phone her instead of bringing the police in at this point because she may not be aware of the dog's disturbing others.  She said thank you for calling and the dog has been brought in when it barks to go in.  Find out the guidelines from your local police department.  A barking dog is disturbing the police no matter what time of the day it is.
I agree. I used to finance mobile homes.
However, they had to be on a permanent foundation with the wheels removed, and the interest rate was scary.
No way. I would run group homes for special needs folks and

Ummmm...whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Sheesh!
Lawsuits in America mean something pretrial? What about the chick the other day in a monsoon who blamed her landscaper for snapping tree trunks! Yep, you keep doing your self-righteous dance. I'll keep working and making $$$!
I think you over-reacted. You made something dirty out of a child's innocent crush.

Let's not turn an innocent poll into a political bantering free for all.
People are allowed to post who they feel a good female role model is, however, if you want to start up political banter, take it to the Politics board.
Like all other things in this world, they're guilty until proven innocent.
I think that totally stinks! Of course, you're only his mom and certainly do not know everything he does, right.
The prices of homes are high, but the RE taxes are a bit lower.
Welcome to the East Coast! There is really nothing "cheap" on this side of the US.

Good luck - hope you have a smooth transition!
Pets
I encourage you to stay with your pet in your home. If you are stupid enough to put animals above the welfare of humans, we, the rest of the human race, can do without you.

I do not want to be exposed to someone's animals with their ticks, fleas, dander and fur while I'm trying to ride out a storm in a shelter.

You have no right to inflict your animals on me. I do not want my tax money going to feeding and housing someone's pets (unless they are a helping animal, like a "seeing eye" dog or one of the dogs and monkeys that help disabled people.

You idiot animal lovers who put your pets before people need to put up the money to build/rent your own shelters for animals and leave the rest of us out of it.
I beg your pardon. I have elderly relatives in nursing homes who are constantly in and out of
hospitals.  The elderly especially need our reports to be ACCURATE, as nobody gives a hoot to "talk" about them, let alone doctors getting to actually know and remember patients. EVERYTHING about their acute care in hospitals is taken FROM THE PAPER MEDICAL RECORD, and also when they get bumped back to the nursing home.  The caretakers take ALL info from the transfer sheet.  Reality check for those who need help most - elderly who cannot rattle off their histories themselves.
rich skanks dress better and have nicer cars and homes.

If there are MTs losing their homes and can't get presents for their kids, they aren't living
Sheesh!
There is a forum for Pets under
If there is a board for a particular topic, the topic is supposed to be taken to that board. I will be emailing the Administrator.
Anyone have pets that pester more than sm
the family, phone or doorbells?  I swear my 2 dogs have it in for me today.  I didn't take them for their 1/2 hour walk this morning and now they are being absolutely horrible. Won't leave me alone for anything.  Yikes, what a mistake.  Yep, this is the absolute worst they have ever been. One at the door staring at me and the other under the desk pawing my leg.   I've skipped the walk for 2 days now. Tomorrow I won't and I bet they leave me alone!  Shame on me.  Full moon maybe? 
neglected pets
...funny you should bring that up. I have been so
busy with school and work, my normally sweet cockatiel birds have been monsters!! I have a large office and a couple of months ago they decided they wanted to stay there so I moved in there. What a pain! They sense when I'm stressed and rushing. That's when the screaming starts. I had to leave my office for a half hour, and when I came back, the new telephone cord was chewed off, my papers were chewed and shredded, and one bird was shredding my reference books!!! They are so demanding. If I don't pay attention to then for a half hour before I start working, I will pay dearly!!! But I do so love them!
Yes, bonuses are reserved for the pets, not
based on cooperation, quality, or anything else, just whether your team leader thinks you are wonderful and so does Deb, but if you are on Deb's list, you get nothing, so just stay quiet in your corner and say nothing or she will slam you.   
family pets while working
Have a chair behind my work chair and I HATE when at 2-3am, my cat wants my attention and all of a sudden I feel this "tap" on my back..no one else here but me but I swear everytime he does that it scares me to death lol
Katrina's Displaced Pets

As most of you know by now, lots of the evacuees are refusing to go because they don't want to leave their pets behind.  For all you you pet lovers out here, I've found two sites that are trying to help out in this area that I thought I'd pass on...

Has anyone ordered pet meds from Entirely Pets?

My dog has Cushings and is on $200.00/mo worth of meds and we are going broke between them and the $1000.00/year testing needed,  not to mention shots, etc.  We are paying about $80.00/month for one medicine.  I found it at Entirely Pets for $32.00/mo - a big savings.  The package they show is the exact same as what we get from the vet, the dosage and the # of pills is also the same.   I read the description and it doesn't say anything about it being a generic or anything else that would raise a red flag.  I checked this med at 1800PetMeds and it is $60.00/month there. 


I'm going to ask my vet tomorrow what she thinks.  I don't think she'll have a problem with me getting meds from another source but I'd like to hear feedback from an outside party too. 


Just stayed at Drury, they allow pets.

I have Mohawk and it does great with our pets...sm
It's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive carpet. Look around your area for a discount place as you can oftentimes find name brand carpets at a reduced price due to overstocks, discontinued items, etc.

I so hoped they would. I felt for that little boy and others who had to leave their pets.
.
Not to mention extremely dangerous for your pets - sm
especially the flea collars, shampoos, etc. Totally agree. Awful products. Should be banned completely.
Tarro for ants (keep away for Children and Pets)
Worked great for me - like nothing else!
Better yet, keep your pets indoors in a/c and out of parked vehicles. nm

They are giving good stuff to pets and newbies, and if you
gave them your blood for a year they think they can walk all over you.  
I do dog sitting but screen owner and pets carefully. I won't take just anyone.
:)
It is amazing how pets really become real members of the family, isn't it?
Gotta lov'em! :-)
As per your request, Pets and Entertainment forums have been added.

When pets are not confined or supervised, things like this should not be a surprise. nm
:P
I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
