Happy Halloween to all. nm

I thought this was cute.
Thanks OP!    I can TOTALLY relate!!! 
Wow! and I thought mine was cute! nm

got this once, thought it was a cute, cheap idea
My lawn service was leaving little packets of M&Ms with notices - bad idea to put in mailboxes (ants), but I thought that was an excellent idea for getting clients. Also, pens with your name on them. You can get them fairly cheap. Good luck!
Aw, I thought it was cute. He was being satirical, for goodness sakes. nm

I found this and thought it was cute: "I have the body of a god ... unfortunately, it's Buddh

Thought you were not happy with them

Happy for you - I always thought about that as well...
The ladies I worked alongside with (well, they were on the other side of the office) made over $25/hour doing DRG back some 10 years ago already. They do this at home now, as well, I think!

Best of luck to you - that seems like a very solid future and one I wish I would have gotten into when I was younger.

Wish you the best. It does make me feel better knowing there are others in the same boat. Sometimes I feel so much unreality in this business.

I follow my gut, though, so no matter what I am "told," I still go by my own feelings, and I know I am not doing very well, and I know I am not a professional (not treated as one is what I mean).

When nurses or other professionals are certified, I believe they are paid hourly, not piecemeal, and have advocates, yes?

To call MTs professionals when we are only making money for what we 'type' and even then have benefits revoked for not making minimums, are on constant time constrictions and under constant threats of losing our jobs, if we do not keep up with an unrealistic 'norm' well, no matter what I am told, that is not a profession - NO, not so much!

We are expected to act like professionals while we are not in any way treated as such. We are numbers and graphs only. If you go below your lines or hours, you are penalized.

I cringe when this issue comes up...only because when I started some 15 years ago, I did feel like a professional, and AAMT was the one who advocated that for me...elevating 'typing pool' to medical transcriptionists and medical language specialists, etc.

What happened? Do you think this is greed? Why are they deserting us and ignoring our needs now?
very good All Stars 7 I thought - happy Boogie

Nice to be thought of...wishing you happy thanksgiving as well...(no message)

Halloween
Go to marthastewart.com and search 'halloween'. There's a ton of stuff in there. Have fun!
I don't like Halloween....

so I'm not up for that challenge.  It has nothing to do with religion, or beliefs, or such....I just do not like Halloween.  I did the whole bit when my kids were little, but never liked it (they could not tell that though!). 


I don't like witches, or spiders, or cupcakes that look like them.  Don't like pointy hats and long chins with warts on them and especially warts with hair growing out of them.  Don't like to scare people or to be scared.  Don't like hairy spiders hanging on a thread.  Don't like green faces on little children.  Don't like mucous-looking stuff dripping off someone's face or, worse yet, off another body part.


I am being somewhat facetious but...I really do not like Halloween.


BUT I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE CANDY CORN!!! AND THE CANDY CORN THAT IS SHAPED LIKE A PUMPKIN. 


Halloween Candy
Milky Way!
Whatever is on sale at 50-75% off the day after Halloween....sm
Target usually has the most "good stuff" candy on sale i.e. the Hershey bars, M&Ms, Snickers, etc.  Usually the day after Halloween it's 50% off and 2 days after Halloween it's 75% off.  I stock up on enough candy to last until Christmas, then after Christmas get enough to last until Valentine's Day, then after Valentine's Day I grab whatever I can because there's no major "candy events" for a while to get it cheap! 
For me, I would have to say Halloween and Candyman. nm

Halloween goblins???
   
Group halloween costumes
Need halloween costume for 4 people, group ideas.  We don't want anything like sponge bob or cartoony.  ANy good ideas???  we have a party to go to. 
Halloween twinkle lights.

These lights are adorable.  If you weren't going to have the kids make them, perhaps you could make them up ahead of time to "decorate".  Twinkle lights are sold at the dollar stores nowadays for a buck!!!

What does being a Christian have to do with Halloween? see message

Your Halloween Party sounds fun!!!  I was thinking about doing one for my 6-year-old, having the kids dress up. 


 


But I do have to ask, just because you are a Christian does not mean you can't celebrate Halloween.  In fact, you ARE celebrating "Halloween", just on a different day.  I understand the meaning of Halloween isn't the best, however, that is the day that is set aside and Halloween has been totally commercialized anyway, so it is not like I am sitting at home worshiping un-Christian like things or trying to be a witch.  Do you see what I mean?  I am not trying to be mean, I too am a Christian, but we do take the kids out on Halloween. 


I'm not "afraid" of Halloween, but I was never into it, either, except when a pre-teen. Jus

You win! I'm coming to your house for Halloween!
on my broomstick!  LOL
I'm a Christian, I don't celebrate Halloween but
I do have a harvest carnival for my friends kids. They love it and every year it's bigger than the year before. 
Halloween has Christian origin. Please sm

Please see the link below. 


That is a GREAT Halloween costume idea! LOL. nm

Don't get me started on them - I'm thinking of dressing up for Halloween
as a Diskriter transcriptionist, i.e. Indian transcriptionist!
Halloween party for 6 year olds
Any ideas for a Halloween party/slightly haunted house.  Food, games, spooky decorations?  Thanks in advance.
Help! Need teen halloween custome ideas?? anyone? nm

Poll: What is your favorite Halloween candy? s/m
I always get a craving for candy corn this time of year!
My pre-teen Halloween story - happened about

There were always literally hundreds of kids out in our neighborhood on Halloween.  When I was about 12, I got a gray wig and messed up the hair, a rubber mask with a large nose and lots of wrinkles, wore an old long plaid robe tied at the waist and socks with open-toe bedroom slippers.  So here I am, messy gray hair, ugly face, robe and slippers and walked with a limp down the dark street.  Two men were waiting at the end of a driveway for their children.  Here I come, limping by and one man pokes the other one in the side and says, "Hey, Jim.  Is that your wife or mine?" 


I will remember that for as long as I live.


Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

I challenge you all to host a Halloween/Fall party at your house this year! sm

You will have an eyeball! I mean, ball.


This will be my 1st, usually my sister-in-law does it. I picked up A Taste of Home's Halloween issue and if that doesn't inspire you to do something this fall, then you might be dead...pun intended.


For dessert I am going to make little witches that will make a neat centerpiece. Here's how you do it: Take 16 large marshmallows, oreo cookies, coconut slivers (for the hair that you dye green with food coloring), Hershey kisses and peanut butter cups (miniature) that will be the top of her hat (place candies on top of oreo chocolate cookie (minus one side of cookie and the frosting).  Use pretzels for her broomstick. These things are so cute I can hardly stand it.


2. Spider cupcakes. Use chocolate EVERYTHING and for the legs use 8 small pieces of licorice dangling from the cupcake and anything small and red for the eys (M&M minis) or red icing.


There are tons of ideas and recipes. The main dish will be Witch's Brew Stew and it looks awesome! If you want the recipe, email me. If not, then drop dead.


Oh, and for the kiddies, I will be playing games like pin the stem on the pumpkin and bobbing for body parts (will probably call this game something else), but you fill up a large tin bucket, stain the water black and put things in inside. Each kid takes turns using their hands to try to find 3 things you tell them to find in this nasty mixture of stuff using their HANDS, not mouth.....


So, get your invitations out, dust off your printers and have fun! I'm doing this mid-month, not on Halloween since I am a Christian and we don't celebrate Halloween.

well that's cute, how'd you do that?

Too cute

Giggle. Next you'll be telling us you're qualified as Chief of Staff at the hospital you nurse at and transcribe for.  Chuckle.  (Reminds me of the saying, Jack of all trades, master of none.)  Chuckle.


Cute!
  Good one!
That's cute. :) (NM)

Cute, but THAT will be the day!

too cute!
And I totally agree!
That's cute...

But outsourcing to India doesn't concern me on iota.  Remember ..... they speak a different language than we do and when doctors here hire them, they get exactly what they pay for, which, when you add all things in, they charge for basically equal pay for a real sloppy job........


Never fear, my dear.....India's a joke......


That's why they'd much rather work call centers and do - more money for less work.  Much easier to speak it - albiet half azz - than transcribe it.


LOL!! Cute.

That's cute! I got a second dog for the
older dog as a playmate and they are stuck like glue now.  I wasn't too sure about it at first, the older dog is a Golden and the little guy is a Cocker, but it has worked out.  Now the older dog is in his second puppyhood, gets into mischief just like the little guy and teaches him all the good and bad ropes. And of course, they don't tell on each other when the Kleenexes are shredded on the floor.  In fact, the new dog was such a stinker that I went to midnights just to get work done. Couldn't let him out of my sight for a minute. I took 2 hour naps during the day when he slept, otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten anything done.  He's much better now that he is a year old. 
cute : )
