In Reply to: How much do expanders help you? - medtran82
anyone not using one. You can make expansions for almost every phrase imaginable and cut your Keystrokes by at least half. Even whole paragraphs can be expanded for the docs who say the same thing all the time. You will get your money back on your investment in a month I'll bet.

I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
I'd like to see me trying that sober -- can't image I would have enough coordination to do it
any length of time!
I can image that once we train the VR reports by our expert
editing and corrections, the VR software will start producing more accurate reports. Unfortunately, when that time does arrive, there will not be a need for as many medical editors/transcriptionists as there are now. I suspect at that point we will be competing for MT jobs, and our rates will go even lower than they are now. I hate to paint a somber picture here, but this is what the hospitals have been striving to accomplish since the mid-1980s, when they decided to outsource the transcription to MTSOs to avoid paying hourly rates and benefits.
P.S. - Sharper Image also sells this same headphone for much more.sm
I should also mention that I recommended this headset to my team when I was supervising because the company-issued headsets were basically garbage. I had a lot of good reactions, but a few people didn't like "over-the-head" style because it smooshed their hair or it just wasn't the best one for them. Hearing is a very individual thing and what works for one might not work for another, but quite a few of my crew got these and most seemed to like them.
These Kensingtons fold for travel (a lot of people use them on airplanes), by the way, and you can use them with any other portable audio like a Walkman or iPod, so I think all my folks kept theirs even if they decided to use them for other things than transcribing due to the fact that it's so inexpensive.
Anyone have success in using a website to project a more professional image?

This board's image problem is the result of complaining MTs.
 --should become the new logo.
Sharper image has top of the line with massage control. It might be worth it
It's a great chair and I didn't want to get out of it.
No, Priscilla Presley after face work, is the spitting image of the Joker.

POLL: Productivity gain using your expander and what expander you use.
Guess I need to make it work harder.
The shortcuts expander works with the Bayscribe expander as well.
All at the same time.
It's taco night! (again.....) We had taco pizza last night, southwestern chicken soup before th
Maybe I'll just have a salad.
Word Expander Programs - Are there any expander programs that are easy to use and learn
that are similar to the MS Word expander? I prefer something very simple. I like MS Word expander; however I have gone over my limits and cannot add any more shortcuts so I need a program that will hold a larger amount of shortcuts. Many thanks.

We had that last night.
I was just bored today since I'm not working. I like cooking different foods as a hobby. LOL
yes, I got it last night...sm
sure do wish they'd make up their minds. When I first started on DQS, from Cottage, I got "yelled" at about NOT putting 2 spaces, now I'm used to 2 spaces, and they go and change it again. Oh, well. Guess I'll get read to get "yelled" at again!
About last night...

last night
This was a great article. I think she hit the naile on the head in her assessment of each one of them.
Tks for posting the link.
Just on TV last night sm
I'm in California and DPSS Department of Social Service did this exact same thing and did not want to shred so out in open to recycle, 93,000 people to be notified. Shameful disregard, no wonder so muc IF theft. The TV station esposed this happening.
AI - CNN Last night
They had something on CNN last night where they had four people talking about Chris being voted off. One of them was an AI contestant from last year and she wasn't pulling any punches which was nice to see. She told it like it is. She didn't side step any questions like some people. She said Katharine should have gotten voted off instead of Chris and she and all the others said that Katharine would win, not because she was the most talented, but because she was the most marketable. One reporter said Chris got voted off because he was creepy! Of course, it was a man.
Get a PT job at night, then if you like it and - sm
they will let you got FT, then go for it. Never quit a job before you have another in the bag.
CSI NY last night... anyone see it?
So, on CSI NY last night, MAC sure did a good job using a shoestring to tie up that agents artery, didnt he? Even if he WAS in the service, I was impressed. Although, he's no Grissim. Speaking of which... CANT WAIT FOR TONIGHT! http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/ if you click here: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/producer_picks/ you can watch the producer's favorite episodes for free on your computer. :D
Yes, I saw this last night
My husband is one of those Vets that could potentially have his identity stolen. :( Very concerning!
Other night job
I dance at the local "Dancing Bare"and am known as the cellulite Grandma.
up all night?
Has anyone ever pulled an all-nighter and typed through the night after your shift during the day? Please tell me how you did it! A strong pot of coffee is a given and some carbs are probably a given.
Also, those of you who work the midnight shift, do you have any tips for staying alert when the house is quiet and the neighborhood is fast asleep?
Thanks in advance!
up all night
This will really mess with your circadian rhythm and make you crazy. No kidding. That is why they outsource now to India (among other things) because when we sleep, they are having their morning coffee and are ready for their day.
up all night
I've been on nights for over 20 years. I suggest keeping yourself well-hydrated - tea, whatever - and every 1-1/2 hour or 2, get up and do a tiny bit of QUIET exercise - walk door to door, make some jello for tomorrow, sort a laundry basket, etc. Amazing what you can get done in those 5 minutes and it boosts productivity. It may take me a week, but I've cleaned out cupboards, etc. a half-shelf at a time and I've stayed awake.
Had one last night
I'm typing a chest/abdomen/pelvis for a MALE john doe. The resident mentions a missing uterus. Then he makes a big deal of making me go back and change that to a "very small" uterus. Wonder what it really was?
What Night Owl said! :)
Bah, humbug! Greedy, lying jerks.

Average Joe Won Last Night!
 There's hope for me yet!
I saw it last night--it was great!! sm
Vince Vaughn was hilarious!! I loved the movie and highly recommend it.
Try again Monday night.
I'll keep trying.
We had it last night. It was wonderful.

Yes, I wish I could get them to sleep at night, too.
I had one kid wide awake until after midnight, and another one woke up at 4:30 this morning with a bad dream. This was after one of their friends pestered me every five seconds yesterday so I had to get up early this morning to finish my work. It was, "Hey, watch me. Hey, look at this. Hey, look what I can do. Hey, look what I built. Hey, hey, hey." Tap, tap, tap on the shoulder. How 'bout, "Hey, go bug your own Mom because I'm working"?
Well, I did watch it last night
I thought sure it was going to be Claire. Can't imagine what they could do for the finale. They've already done it all. I hope they don't kill anyone else off. Nate sure did leave a mess, like you say. Makes you think about yourself and not wanting to leave such a mess when you go yourself. Maybe I'm just being maudlin, huh? Anyway can't wait for next week. Really got kinda nervous, though watching Brenda and Billy. Glad it was just a dream - whew!
1st night on 3rd shift and still
but i started at 11 p.m., and notice that my line count for first hour was credited to yesterdays work. so -- is this just a fact of life for 3rd shifters?
Wow, that's great. I was just in awe last night sm
watching them chopper those little critters out of there. They had dogs, puppies, kitties and even a bird. It was great. The Humane Society said they were even going to go in and get the displaced gators and snakes and whatever else that was in there and take them to safer ground.This is a great place we live in, everyone chipping in and helping out.
BB Thursday night.
It was Howie (sniff). And Janelle is the new HoH.
Good night.
Good riddance, bite the big one junior.
Good night to you, too.
Oh, believe me, there are no stables in my life. That is all about you. You and your animals. So in love! So, happy together.
Night splints
Have you tried wearing rigid wrist splints at night to keep your wrists from bending while you sleep? That really helps me when my wrists are hurting.
Good night all!

Did anyone see Primetime last night???
I was shocked and horrified! If you saw it, you know what I'm talking about...if not, here's the short version...
A 16 or 17 YO female employee of a Kentucy McDonald's was strip searched, beaten, and sodomized (sp?) for over 2 hours...by her well-over-40 manager and the manager's bald, fat fiance! The manager got a phone call from someone claiming to be a police officer, accusing the young girl of steadling a customer's purse...the manager proceeded to strip search the girl, have employees come in to watch the girl, then called her fiance to come in and watch the girl. They talked to this person on the phone for hours and he was giving them instructions on what to do to the girl...the fiance sodomized the girl, hit her repeatedly on her bare behind until she developed whelps on her behind, then forced her to perform sexual acts on him...all under the direction of this person on the phone!
This is the short version, it goes on, but I was so shocked, I could not believe it! The manager, the fiance, and the caller are all being charged with various crimes against this child. It is just sickening to think that grown people, adults who are supposedly halfway smart, could do something like this to an innocent child. And the manager was on the show, claiming total innocence in the whole thing...the manager was a female, if I didnt mention it already...
Sorry this is so long, but I am still shocked. If anyone else saw this, please add your thoughts! 
It worked for me last night, but
I have no idea how to grab from the bag. I paid through Paypal.
Thanks I tried that one last night too and it didn't get it either
