Okay - John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Rene Zellweger


Jimmy Buffett.........nm

Rod Stewart! Wow! can you believe...He is 61 years old. Check this out! sl

Will & Grace is on Lifetime!!! sm
Just thought I'd let everyone that loves this show know, which everyone probably already knows, but hey, I'm excited. I love the show and am so glad Lifetime is finally getting some new shows for their morning TV. 
Got that right about Nancy Grace - sm

I can't stand her.......a former prosecutor.....


same thing with Star Jones Reynolds - a former Brooklyn NY lawyer/ prosecutor, who I grew to detest as 9 years went by on The View....I liked her much better when she was overweight and far less fake a person than she has become today!! 


saving grace
being in the military may be your saving grace - from what I have read previously, government jobs like VA mandate FBI checks on transcriptionists doing their accounts.  Would assume especially at this time in the world all military personnel would need that protection.
Brian Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting.
From The Three Musketeers movie.
is anyone watching Martha Stewart today? I can't but...
wonder if you would post where the key is to enter the drawing?  TIA
school is a saving grace for me
during school I have 9 hours to type and I do it straight through after they leave.  I do take some small breaks.  I was up to 1600 or 1700 lines last school year at my other job.  I am hoping for 2000 this school as an average.  I like to be done completely by 4 when they get home and have the rest of the evening to do work around the house, cook dinner and help with homework, baths, hair, blah blah blah.  Like I said, can't wait for school to start!!!!
it bothers me too and Nancy Grace.....nm

Martha Stewart made a GREAT decision...
Jeffrey was plain WEIRD. His story sucked...
Nancy Grace and Glenn Beck got mine
I also sent to Hillary Clinton's site too.


Thanks Kelly!
I am going to try the Neutrogena, I've had good luck with them in the past.
Kelly has got to go!

Kelly needs to go because she just is NOT...nm

Regis & Kelly
I have been in the audience of Regis and Kathy Lee. It was great. I love Regis. He is so funny.
Kelly LeBrock
She was that girl from the commercial. She was also in Weird Science, ugh, how do I even know that?!? She was a model and I was kinda glad she's fat now too. OOOOH...Evil Jodi !
Thanks Keyboard Kelly (SM)
I have been scoping out all the different keyboards, too. Sure can get confusing!

Did it take you a long time to adjust to the Gold Touch in the tented position? I thought that looked rather interesting and would be something I would like to try. At the end of the day my hands ache and I am anxious to find a more comfortable keyboard.

Have you ever tried or considered the Kinesis Contoured keyboard? (Been looking at that one too). It's the one where the keys are sunk into a bowl-like depression. I've done some research on it and it does take getting used to, but all who have used it declare their pain is gone forever.

Wish there was a place where all these neat (and strange) keyboards could be tried out.

Another question, I have only been an MT for 5 years,and when I started everyone said - Be sure and get a gel wrist rest. Well, I did, but according to all the scientific research, I have been using it wrong. I rest my wrists on the wrist rest at all times letting my fingers "do the walking." I have just learned I should actually suspend my wrists while typing and only place them on the rests when not typing. Had any experience with this? Many thanks!
Chris....and Kelly....
I really wish that America would get it right for once and not base this on "looks" but on talent. Let's be real, seriously Kelly is not that great, she's just a cute Barbie. Katherine is the most talentin IMO in regard to the girls. I really would love to see Chris win it, he is the most talented and not bad looking either!! A total package. Just like Bo last season. He really should have won it. Carrie is just a robotic Barbie now.
Kelly seems to be Pickled...

I've never lived anywhere but Georgia, and it really makes me mad when folks get on TV and act slow, playing up the dumb hick stereotype. Anybody ever seen the Klan on Jerry Springer, for example? LOL It makes the rest of us (Albeit, we do speak a little bit slower/relaxed.) look dumb as dirt! I think she's faking to try and be "cutsie." I see nothing cute about it. It just nauseates me. I think they got rid of the wrong southerner last night.



I think Paris or Kelly
I'd love to see Kelly go home. She was bad last week and worse this week. If there's any justice, she'll be gone. I like Katharine and didn't think she was as bad as the judge's thought last night. I really love Chris thouh and think he'll definitely be in the final two.
Has anyone ever been in the audience of Regis and Kelly?
I love watching them on t.v., and was wondering what it's like to actually be there.
OFF TOPIC KELLY AND REGIS

Did anyone see the show this morning? I had to miss it.  Did Lori Schulweiss pick a guy? Who did she pick.  I have been watching all last week but missed it today. 


Keyboard Kelly - One more question (sm)

Thanks for the info.  Would you let me know how you like the Kinesis Contoured keyboard when you have a chance to try it out?  I have enclosed my email address. 


Also, the keyboards you buy on ebay - are they new or used?  Have you ever been "bit" with a bad keyboard?  Thanks!


Keyboard Kelly - Need Your Input (sm)
It's me again. I have narrowed my choices down to the Goldtouch or the Kinesis Maxim. I had leaned towards the Kinesis because it is advertised to be a really soft touch. Also, I liked the sloping palms rests. BUT - the Kinesis only tents at 8 and 14 degrees while the Goldtouch tents up to 30 degrees - quite a big difference.

How comfortable is the Goldtouch tented up w/o a palm rest?
How much tenting do you usually set yours on?
Does it have a soft touch?

Would so appreciate your reply. I really wanted a keyboard that had reprogrammable keys so I could put my backspace key where the left space bar is, but all those keyboards seem a little too pricey for me.... maybe when I get rich!! LOL

Many thanks!
On Regis and Kelly yesterday, they said (sm)

Regis saw the first 2 episodes, said you would not guess in a million years what happens at the end of the first show, and that the second episode was "gut-wrenching." 


Kelly Pickler gets on my nerves - sm
I am from the South, too, but she makes us look stupid. However, I absolutely LOVE Taylor Hicks!! That's entertainment!!!
Kelly won't go tonight--probably Katherine!
x
yep sings country well but Kelly is just NOT..nm
.
Kelly can sing Country and there are
probably more Country fans out there than the others. She has a strong fan base. I doubt she will be going home anytime soon. I tried calling for 2 hours last night and could not get through on her lines so ended up texting. She does play the dumb blonde a little to much for me though.
Given the uncertainty with the future, Kelly, SM
I wouldn't recommend anyone go into MT right now (especially a single mother without a partner's income to fall back on)--unless you have the opportunity to do a limited range of work you can handle competently in short order, such as for a local physician's office, or to do hourly pay work, such as in a hospital, and are prepared to walk away if needed. Becoming skilled enough to make decent money requires a surprisingly long investment in time (much longer than many other comparably paid jobs), and for anyone working on a production basis that means an investment in lost wages that would have been earned at other work. Someone trying to enter doing acute care work on a production basis will make very little for some while--a very very long while if not working a full work week at it every week. The only way to become fast and accurate is through extensive experience on the job.

For a parent, also, it's important to point out that this work requires eyes, ears, and hands be engaged with the report in front of you. You won't hear any suspicious quiet settle on the house, and whenever you stop to tie a shoe you stop earning money. There's no multitasking while you're actually doing this work. Best wishes.
Kelly? I am at a total loss as to what the fascination is

Keyboard Kelly - Many thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions.

I really do appreciate it.

Wasn't really one of the tour shows, but I did see Clay Aiken and Kelly Clarkson....sm
when they toured together. Really went to see Clay, but Kelly was actually much much better.
The last time I ate at Jack in the Box

 I got the 24 hour flu, diarrhea, dry mouth, nausea the whole thing.  My body could not wait to get that stuff out of me.  Working at home, I always prepare meals, and eat healthy, have a fruit smoothie maker, and a veggie juicer, and can afford the time it takes to prepare these things since its convenient.  But about two weeks ago, I was out and about and thought hmm, a nice greasy hamburger sounds good, (mom calls them "loogie" burgers)  so I got a number 2 and number 4 at Jack in the Box, gobbled it down, sick the next day. 


I also got food poisening from a local chinese food place a few years ago, that is THE most violent illness (anybody have the misfortune to experience this?).  I didnt feel right immediately after I got the last bite of lemon chicken down, sort of weak, later that night my stomach gurgled like it was trying to jump out of my body, intestinal stuff went on, diarrhea, fever the next morning, couldnt move.  I felt that chicken map its way through my entire system.  I was so hungry, that I didnt take the time to notice it was gray in color.  By that night I was completely fine after the last drop had left my body. 


Don't trust other people to prepare your food these days!  There is a reason its called fast food, anything can jump on there, so fast they don't even notice it!  With cheap labor, do you think the people who prepare the food care about you and/or their job?  They can get fired and go work at another joint like that.  I would pay the extra money to get take out at the outback or get one of those frozen box meals at the grocery store.


yep , jack and diane...nm

No waq, Jack!! What a hoot!


Jack Nicholson

I happened across the movie The Raven - a take on the Edgar Allen Poe poem.  It starred Vincent Price and Boris Karloff  and Peter Lorre.  Peter Lorre had a son in this movie - now remember this movie was made in 1963.  His son - Jack Nicholson.  If you get a chance and are a fan - see if you can catch it at the video store or on one of the movie channels - he was extremely young and a horrible actor - it's hard to believe that he has become what he is today after playing that role - it was really something to laugh at.  He had a love interest with Vincent Price's daughter.  It's a fairly short movie and worth your while - I watched it twice. 


Ear phone jack.
I have a fairly old computer and can do either one. There is a jack on the speakers and also in the front of the tower. My newer computer has a jack on the front of the tower. I did not even look on the speakers when I started using it.
Jack of all trades!

x have a good night!


Magic Jack

I have seen several posts on the board about using Magic Jack with a C-phone etc, however, would like to find out more about it regarding voice quality etc.  I have both a wireless setup as well as an air card from Sprint and talked to the Sprint rep last night about using Magic Jack with my air card and he said that because my connection speeds are extreemely good, he did not foresee any problems.  I also talked to a "tekky" friend of mine in Las Vegas and he said that he has a client who loves it, but in reading the reviews, I have seen both good and bad about it.  I wouldn't at this time need it for work, but just more as a "home phone line".  Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks


Does anyone who uses the Magic Jack (sm)
Suddenly today, Saturday, have the foot pedal not work?  This is the first time I have ever had this problem and I am wondering if it is systemic today - and hopefully everything will be OK.  Any advise please.  This was only phone option I had for LDS and its pretty scary not to be able to work with it today.  Thanks for any advise or comments.
Magic Jack - sm
I had to send mine back the first day I tried it. I could not get the foot pedal for my Lanier to work with it. I was very disappointed, as it would have saved a lot of money. Hope it was just your system.
MAGIC JACK
not wanting to work?? I've had Majic for for a while now and never had a problem with my footpedal til now.  I'm on my second C-phone and still footpedal problems? 
Jack, Wendy's, Mac???

I'd surely like to know which fast food place pays $11.50/hour to start -- please let me know as I'd be the first in line for that!!  My hourly wage ranges anywhere from $8 to maybe $12/hour depending on the dictators I get -- ugh!! Before 2002 I was making anywhere from $15 to $22/hour, but transcription has certainly gone to the dogs -- grrrrrr!  I think there would certainly be a lot less stress flipping burgers, ya think!


Magic Jack
I was thinking about this once as well but I went online and read reviews and after that, I was not convinced it was a very good idea because of some of the glitches they need to fix. I can't remember all the details but it would behoove you to read the reviews first. Good luck!
Magic Jack
I have read previous comments about Magic Jack and was wondering if there were any more recent experiences about using Magic Jack with a C-phone. Vonage wants to up my plan to business because of the amount of time I am using it and then with all the fees tacked on, I'm looking at at least $55 a month for a business plan up from $35. I would rather use Magic Jack if I can see other transcriptionists are happy with it. Please post if you don't mind. Thank you!

I have Magic Jack and it works flawlessly as a phone.  Would it work with transcription?  I only have a cell phone and the Magic Jack line. 
Magic Jack
No Magic Jack does not work with the C-phone's foot pedal.  You can make calls with the C-phone but when you use the pedal it does not work.
EMT Jack sounds like he is from sm
India or some other place like that. If so why is he here?
EMT Jack.........where in the world sm
are you from? What does "if they thin that they pulling an extra person" mean? Have seen your broken English on other posts. If you are from outside the US, why are you here? Just wondering.
