haven't heard if anyone is claiming responsibility? On a different note, I was just telling a friend yesterday that before 9-11 I heard that the biggest thing on the news was shark attacks. Hoped it wasn't an omen.

Watching the news
My heart goes out to those who are homeless, jobless, lost everything in their lives, many including loved ones. I have come to appreciate my family, job and home so much in the last few days. I stopped to get gas today, only needed 1/2 tank and it ended up costing $25, went up 35 cents since yesterday. Somehow this is very scary, nearly everything we have comes through the trucking industry. The ramifications of this will be far reaching, everything will go up......well, everything but an MTs pay, but hey, I have a job and I don't need to get in my car to do it.
I have been watching the internet news --sm
concerning this, as I still have previous marriage relatives that live in various parts of the east coast. This is horrible, and now I read something about a dam (near NY, I think) that is being weakened by waters 25 ft above flood stage...what else can happen!? Take care to all of you out there!
Are you watching Fox News. Idiot surfers out in the ocean.

I was watching the news this morning and some Florida politician
said the exact same thing. "Come on, people. You had plenty of warning. You were told to stockpile at least 72 hours' worth of food, water and supplies." DH and I were discussing it last night. We have at least two weeks' worth of food on hand at all times. If we had warning of a storm or potential crisis, we'd fill up our gas tanks and as many plastic milk jugs as we could wash. We keep the propane tank and woodpile full in case we need to use the BBQ and woodstove as alternatives for heating and cooking. We've got coolers and ice jugs in the freezer if we need them. We don't have a big house with lots of storage either. And dangit, we'd make sure our elderly neighbor is taken care of, too! Whatever happened to being prepared for the worst? Where are the days when people kept first aid kits, flashlights, extra blankets, nonperishable items, and emergency supplies in their homes and cars? Instead, able-bodied adults lie back playing the victim card, waiting for aid, and criticizing when help doesn't get there quickly enough. It's like nobody's got any common sense any more. It really makes me not want to donate to those who can't be bothered to help themselves. Granted, there are many exceptions, such as the elderly, infirmed, or children.
just checked i-mail. no news. how did you get your news?
love,
frank
News flash..Don't know where you get your news, but the economy is doing very well.
s
My theory is no news is good news. (sm)
If there is really a problem with your transcription, then I would not worry about it. They will get to you if you screw up.
As far as policies and procedures, look in your manual. I am sure they gave you info for all of that stuff. JMO.
I have good news and bad news 4U...
The good news is on Saturday, July 1 many of your least favorite residents will be "graduating." The bad news is that on the same day you'll be getting a virtual box of candy with brand new residents who have no clue how to dictate! RU excited?? ARGHHHH!!!! 
After watching this
I'd have to say I now know why I had no idea this was going on. If more people knew about this, how their meat was being "harvested" and what they do to these animals, they wouldn't be in existance at all and thats what they are afraid of. These images should be shown to schools all over the U.S. to teach at a young impressionable age that this is what is going on and it needs to change. I myself know that I need meat in my diet, we all need it, I don't eat a lot of it because too much can be bad for you, but how am I going to eat after watching this?? It sickens and hurts me and I can't believe people can work a full day treating a living thing like this. Imagine their lives, born into complete suffering and agony, you can HEAR it. I'm just completely blown away. There is a better way to do this. Why are they being hurt alive? We have enough technology to take away their pain at the very least not to mention the living conditions. I'm completely hurt and I think more people should be.
watching less and less
Seems like half of the year is reruns and alot cable stations are reruns from regular tv. Getting sick of the same shows day after. Cut it off for awhile see how you like it.
Okay, I'm watching CNN now and (sm)
They are showing the expressway where people are trying to evacuate... total gridlock. It's like a 6 to 8-lane interstate, but they don't have the other direction open... what I'm trying to say is they can open up the other side to let more people evacuate, even though they would be going down the highway in the wrong direction. No one is even on the other side..
All these poor people in their cars, just moving like turtle and this thing is coming... I just don't get it.
you must not have been watching the same...sm
YOU must not have been watching the same show and even today - they showed clips all over the TV and HIS BICEPS AND TRICEPS are in TREMENDOUS GOOD SHAPE for anybody 62.....
Obviously your upper arms are batwings.......if you think his upper arms were in bad shape. You should only look so good in the upper arm area.......
Have you tried watching
Desperate Housewives or Greys Anatomy? I think they're both entertaining shows, although Desperate Housewives was better last year.
If you like watching
made for TV movies, try the Lifetime channel. Once in a while I can find a good movie there. Good luck
still watching ER
It is not quite as good as it once was but still head and shoulders above much of the other stuff on TV. I still watch and like the newer characters. Neila is interesting right now as is the situation with Kovac and Abby.
When you are watching something like CNN
when there is a big news story (like the miners in WV) and you're hearing this stuff supposedly live and then you hear someone like Wolff Blitzer repeat the information and say something totally different than what someone said just 3 minutes ago. Not the same subject, but it also drives me totally insane when they ask someone who has lost a loved one in a horrific manner - how do you feel. HOW DO YOU THINK THEY FEEL? And why do they feel like they need to get up in the face of someone who is burying a loved one - is nothing sacred anymore.
Yes, I have been watching
It's keeping my interest enough to keep watching and actually it better than I thought it would be.
I'm watching sm
Although I missed the last episode. I'll catch it next week before the next episode hopefully. Don't know who will win.
I'm watching.
It's nice that you can see one episode right after the other. So easy to get involved that way. I wanted to see more of Tym's work also, but I think David is going to win. Alice is the brunette, right? I'm glad the young blond got kicked off. She was dizzy if you ask me!
So very sad watching this
Sitting here watching Animal Channel and the tribute to Steve Irwin. My heart is still crying. His wife, Terri, looks so grief stricken. What a loss.
But maybe she does not like watching MTs look stupid
ranting about something that isn't even true? I know I don't.
Well, I cried while watching them all
xx
watching you like a hawk?
What really happened?
No, there's nothing on TV that's worth watching anyways.
I do listen to my CDs, though. Music makes my type faster.
They are definitely watching. See post below about my
experience with Verizon long distance any my $2500 bill in one month. I only call 2 numbers long distance and they are my hospital accounts so they knew what I was doing.
And you keeping watching, don't you?
Why anyone would watch that show is beyond me, but to each his own. All 3 of those judges are nutty in their own way. If Simon had a Brookly accent instead of a British accent, no one would find him charming. Paula has always been a little looney - remember when she was married to Emilio Estevez?
All this friction between Simon and Paula is just a publicity stunt.
Three that I never tire of watching are:
The American President (Michael Douglas and Annette Benning)
The Jazz Singer (Laurence Olivier and Neil Diamond....ohhh, I ADORE Neil Diamond)
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (Nia Vardalos and John Corbett)
I believe it is, since they are watching your children & (sm)
in the event of an emergency such as an allergy, should you not disclose something it would not benefit anyone. Especially your child. I do ER transcription and have had kids come in to the ER with new onset diabetes, and the nurse knew to check since it was in the family history, so that is something to think about.
No, you said to prove that as you were watching,
That is exactly how it happens. But people can do this type of work from home as well as on-site. I am a member of another transcription board and there are several ladies there that do this. They are always posting jobs on the job board there for this type of work. Why is it so hard to believe that they can do this from home? What would be any different if they were sitting in an office transcribing?
But believe what you want, since you are always right anyway. ;)
we're watching out pay go down -
I personally went from 70K a year to 40K. And I am doing nothing different. Oh, but then, I am working 3 extra hours daily. So, yes, I/we get ticked off at this industry - perhaps the stress of its creators is settling in.
I am glad I have a job...so glad it hurts.
Still tearing up after watching it over and over
Animals have always been a big part of my life. I just love them and they never cease to amaze me. This is an unbelievable story. I just went and ordered the VHS documentary of Christian the Lion on Ebay! I have to see more of this. Thanks SO MUCH for posting this.
I don't enjoy watching my pay go
from a living wage in the 80s/90s with decent line counts and fairly decent dictators to horrendous ESLs, "creative" line counts to gyp the MT, and pay so low you can make more at McDonald's.
I do enjoy transcribing & editing. Preaching to the choir here, as we all know MT isn't something anyone without training and skill can do. The pay should be commensurate with knowledgel, but sadly it isn't. That is why I only do MT on weekends now and have a FT job in a completely different field. I simply can't afford to be an MT anymore.
When enough skilled transcriptionists leave the MT industry and US hospitals are fed up with offshore quality or get sued enough times and the message finally hits home, maybe there will be a demand again for MT, but I doubt it. That is my hope though.
It's a distraction. Besides, there's nothing on worth watching
anyway. I don't even have a favorite TV show any more because they've all gotten so offensive. One thing that helped me was to figure out how much time I wasted during a day and how many lines I typed on the message boards. That's all wasted. It could be earned money instead of fooling around with meaningless distractions.
I thought I was the only one up at 3 a.m. watching that show. lol. nm
:)
Watching Captain Kangaroo
I was 5 at the time, but I have always liked the Beatles and for some reason I remember not the exact moment but a moment where I'm sitting on the couch and the news is on. My 6 year old loves the Beatles. It's so cute to hear here sing the songs. She doesn't like all of them, but she has her favorites.
Up all night watching CNN and most of today.
Not that I can do anything but pray, but I have been so hoping for a miracle and willing them to walk out. With the floods in CA and the fires in TX and OK we need a miracle.
Not what I'm watching. Only has been is that stupid Master P
and he's just an idiot.
Watching Grey's Anatomy and never
saw it before. I couldn't tell if they were daydreaming, going back or going forward. I missed a couple of seconds when the phone rang and the Asian girl who was pregnant is in the hospital and the doctor is cuddling her. Did she miscarry?
TRXinc - i'm sure they're watching.
.
Thanks, I love watching these things. nm

I haven't been watching it as long as you but...
Trisha went to the nut house but was faking her mental illness so they wouldn't put her in jail. As far as her Dad - I don't even remember him. Brittany supposedly went to live with her parents after Bobby was killed. I think eventually they'll be back on.
Thought Scott (Lauren's son) was coming back. Also, what happened to writer/killer he was working with? The last I knew she went for another "new face". Maybe she's the new chick at the coffee house (where did she pop in from)? LOL - This situation with Victor is so ridiculous.
Nick and Phylllis are the best part. They add spark to the show....and that's not sayin' much.
Actually makes me feel someone is watching OUT for me

This gift has been won. Keep watching for more giveaways!

my dad was debilitated and suffering and watching this

Doctor is dictating while watching
All I can here is zoom, zooom, zoooom. He paaaaaaaaaaaaaaauses for long stretches while he watches. It's driving me crazy. I keep getting report after report by him.
I am 30, grew up watching Peter Jennings.
This was really sad for ME because I have seen him on the TV since I can remember watching TV. The time I remember him the most of course is 9/11. He was there nonstop. I will never forget.
Speaking of TV, anybody watching Being Bobby Brown?
He is coming off as the most normal between the two of them. I honestly believe Whitney Houston is certifiably crazy. It is really sad and scary to watch her. And her child! Is she going to have issues or what. Her mother is/was beautiful and crazy drug abuser. Her father is in jail on and off and a bit of an abuser himself. And the child at best is very plain and overweight. She looks sad and depressed most of the time. On a rerun I happened to be watching last night she told her mother to get away or she was going to hit her. This is a very sad reality show. I don't get why they would let cameras into their dysfunctional life.
I fold laundry while I'm zoned out watching TV.
I don't watch much TV anyway, because I can't stand sitting still doing nothing.
God Bless your husband. Am watching CNN on the internet.

MSNBC - last night -or maybe Fox, can't remember, was watching both

Anyone else along the gulf coast who is watching Rita?
