If verbatim, would go with nitro patch. If not, then nitroglycerine patch nm

Wow, there are lots of people on
132 people on right now. I suppose maybe because so many people don't have any work to do.
I had lots of people wanting her, just most

not good homes based on what I required.  Tried the lab rescure, but everyone had all they could take and they would help me find her a home, I just had to keep her until then and I just didn't want to get too attached.   All the other various rescue groups had reached their limits too and taking her to the pound wasn't an option.  Even though I felt she would be adopted quickly because she was so sweet, there is absolutely zero screening and anyone that fills out the paperwork and pays the $$ can get a pet.  When we adopted the cats we were fostering there was a grandmother in there dragging her grandson by his upper arm and she balled her fist and threatened to punch him in the face.  This was not a home I would want my lab to go to. 


I'm not 100% comfortable with the family she went to, but I told them if it didn't work out we wanted her back.


We are going to build a dog lot and dog house in the event we have another stray. 


I'm not much help (I can't remember how) except to say lots of people know how SM
to do this. I've long since lost my cheat sheet. Sorry.
Lots of people worked up to it.
They got it going and then used it for maybe 1/2 hour one day. Then used it a bit longer the next and so on, until they were using it exclusively.

Another way is to create a glossary with the stuff in your current Expander so that you get used to using it with familiar phrases. Then you can add to it as you get better. That's what I did. DO use the marker keys though, rather than the spacebar to expand. That takes a bit of getting used to, but it is so worth it later on to be able to get full use of all of IT's features later. :-)

Lots of people are mobile.

Be sure that you're using a secured wireless network/hot spot. Your laptop should have the wireless card already installed, unless you're using an old model. Try Google search for VPN to learn more.


Most importantly--make sure it is allowed by your company!!


Yes, I went and it was great. Very informative. Lots of people. sm
I love being able to talk to fellow transcriptionists to share war stories. The place was beautiful and not expensive as most of our meals were provided at the conference.

I think that transcriptionists should stop complaining about everything and start taking action. One of the best ways to do it is to get involved with the 7000 other transcriptionists with the AAMT.
It means lots of people are checking it out....
in other words, a HOT topic!
Lots of people think that degrees open many doors.
Degrees close many doors, too. People won't hire you at all because you're overqualified or they think you'll jump ship the moment you find something better. A large percentage of this country is underemployed, and that number gets greater every day. Wages have plummeted because the young 20-somethings will work for peanuts. Why should businesses pay more for older workers when they can get a fresh college grad for next to nothing?
Lots of people wear Rx glasses just for using the computer, nothing else. Ask doc
s
I see lots of reason people are staying in the field,
about the low wages. If everyone is so happy with the satisfaction MT gives, the flexibility, etc., are these the same people complaining of low pay? It almost sounds like it's okay to make a lousy wage in exchange for what it gives. I still don't think Pattie's question has been addressed: Why complain?
I think lots of people not paying for the years anymore
If that were the case with 30+ years, my per line pay would be more than what I make now. No more pay for experience.
Okay, quit bragging and hire someone then. Lots of people need work. nm

Totally not MT related but lots of smart people here for advice, I hope.
My son had a girlfriend some 8 years ago, she ran off with another guy to another state and it really didn't hurt my feelings at all.  They had gone through a lot in the less than a year that they were together including my son helping her cope with a rape trauma that she had been through.  I wish truly I could remember the number of months between the rape and her leaving, but I felt it was a short time.  That really doesn't matter, but 5 years ago this girl sent an e-mail telling us our son was the possible father of her child "you do the math" but she "really thinks the other guy is the father."  My son called her and she was going to send paperwork but never did.  Now jump forward to yesterday, my son gets notified via phone that she's looking for him, that she has his daughter, and we're really not sure what to do.  The girl does not know where we or my son lives but knows the general area.  I'm afraid she'll just show up on my doorstep one day but my son doesn't live here anymore, he's a man with a life of his own.  What would you do?  Does anyone know the legality of all this?
No, out east ... lots of rude people running the show, it seems ... sigh. nm

patch
Thanks, will do that, have some left over from last time we tried to stop. It worked for my husband but not for me, but I am determined to stop now.
The patch is here...>>>>>

I used the nicotine patch -
the last time, my third (and final) quit, in November 1999. Before that I quit 2 other times, the longest was for 4 years, first time cold turkey, second time hypnosis.

My husband, age 61, smoked ever since he was 14 years old and never, ever even tried to quit. Six months ago, he quit cold turkey. Everyone is amazed.
No patch needed (sm)

When you save your document, save as a word 93-2003 document (.doc) rather than a 2007 document (.docx).  You can change it in your defaults.  Anyone with those prior versions can then open your documents without having to download anything.  :)

Climara low dose patch
The night sweats or hot flashes as they call them disturbed my sleep to the point I was useless during the day time.

I concluded that I would take these hormones as I simply had to work at top performance at my job and get things done around the house as well.

I'll deal with the "change" when I am retired and can walk around like a zombie. For now, I have to consider quality of life.

I tried several before Climara and though it is not on my formulary (50.00/month), I take it to live normally.

Now I realize why women my age sometimes can look ravaged.
Birth control patch...

I can't use birth control patches because I have migraines.  My doctor will only let me use certain birth control pills, and doesn't really want me using them, but anyway.....


When I worked in-house, patients seemed to like the patch.  I do know that the OB/GYN I worked for would not give the patch to overweight women because he said it was not as effective.  I would love to be able to use it, as I have trouble remembering to take my pills.


Anyone use the birth control patch?
Just researching a bit.  Do you like it?  Dislike it?  Any other info?  Thanks!
There is a patch to help eliminate those problems you
are experiencing with IE7.0.  Do you want a link to it?  Solved my IE7 problem, but then again, I rarely uses IE, but a different tabbed browser.
Why do you need a patch for express scribe? sm
I have Vista Home Ultimate and Express Scribe V 4.17 and have no problems whatsoever with the software at all.

As a matter of fact, I have had very few compatibility issues with Vista and ANY software I have tried to use -- except Transnet.
Microsoft has a patch for the browser

budget busters...patch those holes! =) sm
No, you are NOT the only one...our pockets don't just have holes...
rising costs are ripping GAPING TEARS in our pockets =) But the fact that you're aware of it is a good thing...because you have the ability to mend those tears. I don't know if you use a budget, but if you don't it might help to create one. Having a financial plan and a budget are the "needle and thread" you need to keep your pockets full. (and I bet a LOT of people are just going into more debt rather than adjusting their spending to put a patch on those soaring fuel and food prices.) So...grab your needle and thread...and Happy Sewing...anyone for a Quilting Bee?! =)
LOTS and LOTS of video tapes and DVDs.

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.
Tip: Keep a nicotine 7 mg patch in your wallet at ALL times. If you get strong urge, stick it on an

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."
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.
It's Laetrile and it was supposedly used for cancer treatment

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!
Gotta read the whole thing, says supposedly good sense...
…Did not say they did....supposedly and do 2 different things- right?
