those who still have MQ will be considered for replacement chapsticks in lieu of an increase in your 4 cent line count pay to 4.000001.

    I saw a special about theft in the post office years ago. SM
    This isn't saying they all do it, but luggage handlers and post office employees have a high rate of left.  I bought a really cool Video Now XP for my granddaughter. The tracking information says it reached my local post office and they scanned it in there.  They say they never saw it even though they scanned it in.  Someone there has a really nice present for someone this year and they didn't pay for it either.  Disgusting.
    but I did get some chapstick!
    LOL!
    chapstick
    ditto on the chapstick!! forget about Xmas!!!
    never heard of this before and I have had computers for 20 years...
    course, I get a new one about every 3 years - maybe I lucked out and traded up just before the clock died (but not various and sundry other parts!)
    I heard this on the news a couple of years ago, or maybe it was

    Paul Harvey.  Graduates of the Naval Academy received diplomas with "Navel" Academy on them and they all had to be reprinted.  You would think with something like that they would have someone proof and reproof before it went to final printing, and then proof again after printing.  


    Along with spelling errors that drive me nuts, bad grammar makes me cringe.  When I hear someone say "I seen" it is like fingernails on the blackboard. 


     


    years ago, I heard that Oprah Winfrey...nm

    ever tried freezer jam?
    OMgosh!! it is soooo good, and much quicker and easier to make than cooked jam. It's prettier, tastes fresher -- like right out of the garden -- and you can be enjoying your strawberries all year round. Its more like preserves than jam -- can put it not only on toast, but on ice cream, cake, in milk shakes, etc. Receipe in the box of pectin you buy.
    no need for a freezer
    What about all the people who come on here saying their hands are cold, I don't think they sit in the freezer either. Good point about fire though, surely there is a safety gauge with it.
    When I first heard Barbra many, many years ago, I felt no one could match or exceed
    her vocal range and clarity, until I was introduced to Celine performing at the Olympics. I had no idea at that time who she was, had never heard of her, but was instantly and totally mesmerized by her voice, power & range. At that moment my feeling that Barbra was the best dissipated, and I have become a dedicated fan of Celine's. I just feel that on top of her range & pitch, her emotions are felt through each of her songs and is unsurpassed.
    i sent my chapstick back with show me the money on it. i'm now working for spheris.
    oh well he has one more chapstick floating around to recycle next MT appreciation day.
    How about a wet washcloth and put it in the freezer - sm
    to get cold(er) and let him chew on that. Other than that lots of oragel. I still have tons of it here because mine handled teething quite well which surprised me quite a bit, using a little now for 6-y/o molars coming in. Motrin might work better for the pain too. Good luck, at least it shouldn't last too long.
    Haven't heard in years. Supposedly making it harder to get money
    xx
    Very good answer. I don't sit in the freezer to transcribe
    so I don't need a heated keyboard.
    No, my turkey is still in my freezer. I refused to cook this year.
    I'm either going to cook it at Christmastime or slap some Cajun sauce on it and BBQ when the 18" of snow melts.
    I LOVE freezer jam - make it every year with our berries!

    Vegetarian chili from the freezer, salad, garlic bagel chips. nm

    Listen Mrs. Frank MQ. Just because Frank gave all his MTs a chapstick doesn't mean

    he loves you less.  You have to learn to share such a charismatic dude as Frank.  There is enough Frank for all of us.  Now go wipe your eyes and get your chapstick and be ready for Frank when he finally gets home.  He has worked hard today looking for Christmas presents for MTs to top the chapsticks and that's not easy. 


     


    PS:  I hear he got us nail files to keep us MTs prettied up.  How cool is that?  Maybe you could help him get that MQ emblem on the files for that personal touch. 


    Special
    What is your suggestion of what is special?
    Special
    For starters a good high pay rate with bonuses.  Good benefits including a retirement with a match by the employer.  And while we're wishing, how bout a little more respect for the MTs.   
    Special needs son
    Teacher sent home this website: www.internet4classrooms.com He actually goes on the computer and navigates around the site pretty well. I'm hoping to get some time to look at it and see what else he can do.
    You are special
    And maybe God knew that your stepdaughters and nieces and nephews were going to ~need~ you. HAPPY "Special Aunt Patti" DAY to you!!!!

    Special Needs
    I understand that everyone wants what is best for their children, I know I do. But, it is very frutrating when there are other children in the class and parents think that their child should get all the extra attention, at the expense of 20 other kids. In our district, we have more special education teachers (many specifically to work wiht ADHD children) than we do regular teachers and our gifted program got cut, because this stuff is federally mandated. I would sure like it if they mandated GT programs too.

    My son is ADHD and GT as well. It is my responsiblity as a parent to work with him, both on his education and his medical issues. He was medicated through junior high and still struggled a bit, but now, as a freshman in HS, he is averaging over 95%.

    It is our responsibility to do what is needed to help our children excel. Not just the schools.
    You should not need anything special--sm
    like adaptors or anything to plug it in to your computer. They plug in just like a CRT monitor. They are slightly different in visualization though, (colors do not seem as bright, at least to me) and they do take some getting used to, but I really like mine. I have an LG 17 inch.
    special thank you
    Just wanna say a special "thank you" for someone emailing me a book that will give me so much info on this topic:)
    Actually I never understood what was so special about them
    I wouldn't care one way or another if I never heard another Beatles song again
    You're not special, lol.
    :+
    Ahhhh, but he IS special!
    nm
    I never took any special courses, but I had
    worked a total of almost 15 years in a hospital, first in billing, where we had to code all the diagnoses and ops ourselves, and then in another hospital in rehab, where part of my duties were transcription for that dept and some of their various clinics. After my second child was born, I quit the hospital and a friend who had 20 years in transcription taught me what I needed to learn. I got hired by one of the first company's I applied with, and have been doing this for seven years now, and love what I do!
    The one by me is having an anniversary special -sm
    I believe it is 1 year since they opened up. $29 a month, and the normal $149 membership fee is discounted to $49 ($100 off) for the first 100 that sign up this month. So I figured that is a good deal, plus my neighbor and I will support each other. She is very competitive so she will keep us both going. They have monthly contests there as well. I am planning to go either this afternoon to check it out or go with her tonight and sign up. I need to lose this weight before it starts affecting my health in any major ways (get out of breath with minimal exertion though) but that will not last. Plus I'd love to go up to my dad's at Christmas and be 40+ pounds lighter, I'd still be overweight but I know I'd look a lot better.
    Well aren't you special!!

    Ask for special file
    IE 7 treats the Clipboard differently. So you need a new ProdList.dat file

    It is now available for all registered Instant Text users. Please email support@textware.com

    My method, nothing special...sm
    I like to look at the previous line I typed as I go, just to make sure. At the end of the report, I go up to the top of the report, glossing over to catch anything else that might not have caught my eye the first time. I feel better about it when I send it off. My expansions have gotten me in trouble before so want to make sure I don't see anything strange. I think that's what makes us specialists, not just typists:-)
    Need special equipment
    I did some overflow for a company that did this and it was terribly hard to hear, reception was very poor.  But I do know that you need to play the tapes onto the digital player or whatever it is called and then download to your computer, upload to the FTP site.   And the sound quality is  not good at all, at least to me it wasn't.  But good luck.  
    You MUST have a special pedal sm
    My Infinity won't work with it and no, you can't use another player for the voice.

    startstop.com, I believe it is, has a dedicated Inscribe pedal for $98. Don't get the system thingy, just the pedal. I just ordered mine, btw.

    My verdict is still out on Inscribe and I think I'll like it better when I get my pedal.
    You can have one built special for you
    at any computer tech store. I ended up getting a refurbished laptop on ebay that had XP on it and got Word 2003 for only $39. I did buy a 2-year warranty on teh laptop, but even with that it was cheaper than buying a new one and having to have Vista deleated and adding XP and all the new drivers.
    Saw part of a special on E-Bay last night...
    One couple selling movies - I believe their yearly income last year was over 600,000... I didn't see enough to find out where they got the movies to sell, but obviously a very lucrative business. Started out as sideline, man quit his full time job and has built a whole storage building on his land in order to house their supply. I really would love to know how to do that!
    Frank's special place.


    Isn't he cute?  He bought all of us chapsticks and a key chain.  I think that is so sweet.  He likes me the best of all his 10,000 transcribing chicks though.


    I watched a special on TV last night
    about outsourcing to India and how much they are gaining financially from this situation.  It showed some of the girls out shopping in nice malls buying three and four pairs of shoes at a time.  Wish I could just buy one pair!!  Bring our work back home!!!
    Office of Special Investigation
    It is the military equivalent to the FBI.
    Does it get lonely in your special little world?


    Did I tell you I won the lottery and won $3567 million? 


    Have to agree with this poster. Nothing special! (nt)

    Nightline had a special last night

    on hospital infections and stated that basically, because of poor sterile technique by the hospital and hospital personnel, more than 80,000+ people would die this year from this condition.


    The cost of taking care of one of these infections, caused by the hospital itself, is horrendous, well over $100,000 if you have to have an infected surgical wound treated surgically again.   I finished my IV wonder drugs, not sure what that cost will be yet from the pharmacy and home health care, but I know that 1 vial of medicine used to unclog my IV was $800.  My 10 day supply of Zyvox was $1100.   I also had 14 days of IV Zyvox twice a day and 14 days of IV Levaquin once a day, so you can imagine what my bill is going to run.   I will also have an addition bill from the anesthesiologist, the surgeon, the infectious diseases doctor, the hospitalist, radiologist, and who knows who else. 


    I really think the cheapo hospitals could dig up another few cents a line that could be paid directly to the MTs rather than cutting our rates all the time. 


     


     


    Patti - special thanks for all the tax info

    I paid a lot of attention to your posts this year as I worked as an employee, an IC and a SE.  I submitted my tax return yesterday using TurboTax and my total federal tax for the year was - cough, sputter - $281, or 0.061% of my income.  I have already been notified the IRS accepted the return and will receive my refund by DD next week. 


    I just wanted to send up a special thank you to your valuable contribution to the board! 


    I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
    I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
    special thanks for that info, as it applies to my situation!

    A very valuable tip on special key entries for Shorthand (SM)

    Whenever you need to insert a special key for a function, such as the combination key for bolding, underlining, etc., do it the "easy way"


    In the shorthand dictionary screen, where  you are entering the expansion of your term, just press control+K


    A cute little box will show up and tell you that the next key you press will be put into the shorthand box.  So, press control+b and a screen pops up to verify if you want it to be control+b, ALT+b, or shift+b.   It works with all other special combinations, as well. 


     


     


    Allowing some docs to have special things done.
    How, when we do so many docs, are we supposed to remember that Dr. Ego wants his 5-line signature block?  Yes, I put it in the expander, but anyone else I just put their name and department in a letter signature block.  Little things like that ruin a good account.
