If you microwave your sponge for 30 seconds, supposedly

it kills the germs and bacteria. Or use bleach water for cleaning. I don't know, I almost started a fire with my sponge putting it in the microwave for a minute. I only use washcloths and a fresh one every day or after cleaning up meat juice. Commercials like that are preying on the fears of consumers to reap profit.

I've used a sponge before
The trick is to stick it in the top rack of the dishwasher every day when you run the dishes.

You should also do that with your toothbrush from time to time.
sponge ear pads
Where do you buy these?  I have looked everywhere including Radio Shack and Walmart and can't find them. 
Per Stedman's, Weck-cel sponge


I use a scouring pad..doesn't act like sponge..let it dry out between wash.nm

Ears itch b/c of ear sponge bacteria (mine did)

Take off the sponges and clean the actual headset with rubbing alcohol damply applied to a towel, then replace the sponges.  Do this periodically.  Also, replace the sponges every month or so, especially in hot weather.


Is that microwave?
I used to eat the Microwave stuff until it gave me headaches. Do miss it though, it was great!
I was just 2 seconds away from
I was just 2 seconds away from posting a thank you to the person who previously posted http://www.nynpi.com/ about 3 weeks ago! I was just using this site and was thinking about how happy I was that I know about it (because it is great!) Then this post was up. That is so weird. Anyways, THANK YOU!
235 seconds of dictation...sm
and less than 20 lines!!!!   And he ends the dictation at 200 seconds, then proceeds to shuffle papers and say "end dictation" 50 times...come on already, END THE DICTATION!  No respect!
re:243 seconds of dictation
I actually have a picture of my cat laying on my Dorland's sound asleep...he was looking for the definition of "uhmm"
I still have my first microwave--big thing. sm
Got it for Christmas the second year we were married. Still works great, too! I can cook a whole meal in it.
hahah, just got my 1st microwave
2 yr ago -- didn't think i 'wanted' one -- but i've been converted :)
How about 409 and did not count the seconds
to make up the other minutes. Counted 1x1 tonight just to see. This is both VR and straight.
My thought too after a few more seconds!

He clearly says "max-face."  Though it could be maximal, suspect your suggestion is the correct one. 


Muchas gracias


I haven't put wood in microwave yet...LOL....nm

oops typo should be each 30 seconds, not each second nm

Pacemaker/Microwave Oven

If you have a pacemaker do you still have to avoid microwave ovens? 


Easiest way is by the minute/seconds ...(sm)
At $60 per audio hour (60 minutes) is $1.00 per minute.

$1.00 x 33.31 = $33.31



(sorry, I emailed you by accident, and meant to post!)
More like 2 seconds, if using Internet Explorer

It would help if you were a little more specific about what the issues are that are making your frustrated.

I remember our 1st microwave too...thought we were *uptown*
And the old Atari game...we were the only ones in the neighborhood that had one! How about the S&H greenstamp stores....don't know if these were only in the south or not, but I remember filling those stamp books up and going to the store...my sister and I bought a Billy Joel album...yes album!
Yes, it's microwave popcorn - best invention since the wheel! - nm

Oh, me too!!! When I got my first microwave (very expensive) we all watched the bacon cooking.

i'd worry more about that's getting into the food, from the bowl. Microwave doesn't sound

Supposedly in the US but
here lately they are so bad, just cannot figure out how they could get to this point unless upgrade. I wish someone in charge would edit just for a half day and they would see what I mean.
Supposedly,
we won't have to worry with the formatting according to client specifics for each account, as that is handled automatically after we edit the draft. We will still have to deal with demographics, though.
Because gas is going up like crazy, supposedly going up
30 cents/gallon tomorrow and will continue a steep climb.   There are talks of rationing too as production has been severely cut due to Katrina. 
Supposedly, her motive was that
Jon Benet had wet the bed. As Patsy said, why would she kill her daughter because she peed in the bed???
You supposedly work as an IC but
you will probably find that most places ask for a certain amount of hrs and/or times to be worked. I think 1 company got in trouble like this, it is supposed to be your hours but just think, what if everyone doing IC work did their own hours, would all the work get done? Probably the hospital did not allow you to set your own hours and I would probably bet you had some kind of schedule there. I do over 3000 lines per day so I do not know what a place asks for per day but 1500 for a week seems like a small amount for a week's worth.
Cannot believe that show is on A&E. Supposedly he is suppose to

Supposedly, you can run it through the dishwasher. Haven't tried it, though.

Supposedly these are sample dictations.

they supposedly have open positions - and have them for quite a few years - sm
In fact, now they are offering relocation. However, as one who has 18 years experience, with an EXTENSIVE AND EXTREMELY impressive background, I was told that "I did not have enough experience." I was told that I live too far away and that unless I live there I could not be considered. So I happened to be in Arizona, about 4 miles from them, told them I was relocating, and they still told me I did not have enough experience.

By the way, my experience ranges from working for at least 4 of the top 10 hospitals in the US, all kinds of surgical procedures that one very rarely transcribes, transcribing of rare diseases, transcribing for physicians who do clinical trials for European drugs - so I do have quite an extensive background. Apparently just not enough for them.

Over the years, I have known quite a few people to apply for the positions, and all of them have received the same responses - "not enough experience."
It's Laetrile and it was supposedly used for cancer treatment

Lots of people are. Supposedly there is a patch that will
fix issues.  Got to MS website for info. 
last time I used CS, supposedly you couldn't use expanders
in it but my ShortCut for Windows worked just fine. Also, supposedly there was a way to link InstanText to work in CS too but I don't know how since I didn't use that expander.

As far as the autotext files from Word...no, you can't import them into CS at all. You'll have to make an entirely new list within CS.
And supposedly they are to be fired for that on DQS. I bet they are. They break the report and skip
to the next one on DQS. I get it all the time and I report it and guess what, nothing happens to them but I figure they will hang themselves eventually. They inevitably drop off the account because they really cant do it anyway.
We supposedly have Labor Day, but I've worked it for years.

I do respect those that have serious religious holidays though and only hope that the company that they work for understand.


At first I kicked myself for picking Mondays as one of my scheduled work days, as most of our holidays fall on a Monday. But  the kids sleep in because they have no school, so it always works, as I only have a 3 hour shift and I'm done before they get up.


Supposedly more dfficult to find work as coder, than as MT.

Yeah, powdered milk supposedly does the trick - nm

It irritates me no end when a person who supposedly has good sense
to act like a horse's behind. I have tried explaining to an elderly relative I do not put a physician on a pedestel like they do because they are not almight and some downright ugly. The 1 you speak of has no "bedside" manners- the nerve of him! I had a physician tell me 1 time-after giving his word and then rescinding- only your word against mine - I then reminded him of my father's saying- a person is only as good as their word. Erks me big time.
Years ago weight issue supposedly for husband
I was trying to get some life insurance- told the man husband weighed 250 or 280, forget exactly what- was told he was overweight. The insurance man came to my house and then saw, my husband was into wrestling then and the guy said, you're not overweight, you're just big- hubby 6'4 and carried the weight extremely well (may not be the same with you and me though- I am NOT fat, just not tall enough!
Lots of OSI posts on Company board. Supposedly offer low pay. nm

Gotta read the whole thing, says supposedly good sense...
…Did not say they did....supposedly and do 2 different things- right?
Word supposedly counts 10% higher than most "regular" line counting

Haven't heard in years. Supposedly making it harder to get money

I found more info. Supposedly he actually died in her hospital room of a heart attack....(sm)

How absolutely awful.  It says he was visiting his mom and the new baby.  Can you imagine going in the hospital to give birth only to leave with your new baby and your older son not make it out?  I can't even comprehend it.  I'm sorry for the people who can't see past her craziness but that has to be heartbreaking.
