"Ol' Time Rock and Roll" by

I think it's Rock-n-Roll by Gary Glitter.

Just got my Compaq C0310108576 from Radio Shack the other day. Love it's quiet! nm

All the time, I love this place!

I LOVE that, I do it all the time and I get such a laugh...(nm)
xx
I love IT. Give yourself some time and
use the marker keys. You'll need to just slow down a bit at first, but the reward is awesome. I went from 45ish% productivity gain to low 60s. You really need to give it a good month with so many new things - marker keys, moving eyes, etc. I truly believe it's worth the money in the end. So slow down just a bit, the reward will be more lines for you. Also, visit the productivity talk forum. You'll find many great tips to help with shortcuts and commands, and the people there are wonderful when it comes to answering questions.
I love getting up and working at that time.
It was the only time that I could actually concentrate and have quiet time in my  house.  I have a 3-year-old son and grandkids that lived with me a couple of months ago...it was hard to try to work while everyone was doing their daily thing.  So, I just started getting up and 4 a.m. was a good time.  I would stop around 8 and get my mom/son's breakfast ready and get them situated. After that I could go back to work until I was through, taking breaks in between.  I prefer the 4 a.m. thing...it works for me.  You will have to find what works for you and I am sure that you will.
Agree. LOVE Switch and use it all the time.

Busy..yes that I am LOL. I would love some MEEE time, but I guess I will have to

I've only been on it a short time but love it - I use Shorthand, though with it.
nm
EditScript/Escription - Fell in love with it the first time I used it

I absolutely love Pogo, although not much time to play these days...nm

Why do so many people LOVE operative notes? I see posts about it all the time...
how they make good money on them, they could do them all day, feel cheated when they don't get them? I have been doing this for years and years and still kind of groan when I see them come up on my screen. Fill me on the secrets and maybe I won't whine so much when I do them. Thanks gal!
(Eye roll)
Oh good grief!  What's the big deal?  Act like the professional you are and just transcribe the dang thing; then go on to the next dictation!  Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.  I transcribe for Hollywood celebrities all the time; if I had to stop and tell my supervisor that "I know this person," I'd never get anything done or make any money! 
eye roll
I am being nice.  My advice:  Do research - not just this time but all the times - and it will pay off tenfold.  Now if that ain't nice, I don't know what is, unless you're implying the info should be laid out on a silver platter garnished with parsley, strawberries, powdered sugar, etc.  Now THAT's not nice.     
Eye Roll

And did anyone ask you to plan the meals in their homes?  No, they didn't!!


I try to tell myself to let it roll off
She just likes to be in the spotlight and wants to make sure no one else gets in, oh well. I shouldn't take it so hard.  It is kind of petty really.  It just makes me so angry that I want to place my foot where it doesn't shine.  Friday as I was leaving to go home super MT and another Obnoxious MT were talking. All I heard was "she this.. and she that and as I got closer obnoxious MT said "bye" and not a friendly bye, have a nice weekend it was more like "get the (bad word) out of here" type bye.  Gee, wonder why she flunked out of nursing school.  I got paranoid thinking they were plotting something to make me look foolish or insignificant in front of the supe, like they did earlier but then again the supe knows how long I have been there, she knows the work I do so why worry....but I do. 
To adminstrators. Love your new format. Could you please back the actual time of the post.
Love the little smiley faces that can be added too.  And the print.  Just bring back the time along with the date of post if possible.
I got a REAL present for MT week from my part time employer. I love it!

Agreed. Roll with the changes in the
be phased out.  Those who refused to switch out of WP5.1 and learn Word or some other windows-based program now have a much more limited set of work options.  The same thing will happen with ASR.  You can learn to work with it and learn to be part of it or eventually be obsolete and out of a job.
I like the Roll-Up Keyboard
I bet it's throwable too!!
So you'd just "leave it alone?" BIG EYE ROLL!

 No wonder docs are farming it out overseas!!  


sway and roll

If a boat goes by with a pretty big wake -- which they are not supposed to do, you will feel it go up and down.  No one has gotten seasick while visiting.  When the wind comes up  it does remind you of being at the ocean.   We have a fire boat here on the island and when there has been an emergency they have jetted by in the middle of the night and that does wake me up.  But since we are tied off on three sides now to concrete pilings, we don't move like a boat at all, if anything it kinds of puts you to sleep.   The worse time for a rock and rolling though is when you are sitting on the toilet, that is when you notice it the most.  But after 11 years, I barely notice it at all.   Thanks again to all of you,  it may be Saturday but I don't have a lawn to mow at least.   I tease my newphews about coming down to ride the riding lawnmower to mow my lawn, instead I have a paddle boat that we paddle around the moorage in. 


just had another funny on - i'm on a roll! sm

typing neurobehavioral tests for my neurologist doc. Part of it is a question regarding knowing the name of the current president.  The patient's answer just slayed me.....


Question: Do you know the name of the current President?


Answer:  "Bambo"


Now that's one for the books!!


LOVE teaching hospitals and long-winded reports. Less ADT time which I'm not paid for.
Hate filling in ADT screens w/ searches just to do a one minute report.
One quarter short of a roll...nm
.
LMAO! You're on a roll!
I was thinking the same thing!

How great thou art, my Mensa MT!

LOL
i remember having to roll pennies
to buy gas for the car, and it wasn't 30 dollars. Gas was about 1.50 at that time, but doesn't matter how much it is if you don't have the money!  Another time, I had a 25 cent coupon good towards some cleanser...the store clerk forgot to take it off my grocery order, stating that "it's only a quarter!"  I only replied, "I hope you never have to find out just how much a quarter is."  Unfortunately, I found out a few years later that, yes, she found how much a quarter meant. 
# 8 a few times should roll it back - NM

Tootsie Roll Pops! Am addicted.
nm
We bake ours and roll them in instant potatoes instead
of bread crumbs. 
They are in the roll section ( I have seen them with the bakery rolls too)
nm
I do LOTS of ops, really almost exclusively, and the ones I have ... (drum roll) ... lol ... SM
and use primarily are Stedmans Equipment Words, The Surgical Word Book, and HPI's General Surgery/GI Words and Phrases.  I also have the Stedman specialty books, but the only one I really tend to use of those is the orthopedic one, for some reason.  I also use Google a lot and, again, primarily for orthopedics.  That seems to be the specialty that changes a lot....well, that and cardiology but I don't do much cardiology right now.  HTH
Calm down now. I'm just saying the roll works out much more economically for my needs...
I double checked and it's $52 including shipping for 5016 labels (8-1/2 x 1). That's equal to 456 sheets (8-1/2 x 11) or $0.1140 per sheet. Two of your boxes (250 x 2 = 500 sheets) x $28.70 per box is $57.40. That's $0.1148 per sheet plus your time cutting each of those little notes apart. I just print off the sheet and the office separates each note without the chance of losing a little 1" paragraph somewhere before it got to the med rec dept. I have absolutely no problem with curl, as the roll core is fairly large and I use a paper towel dispenser for quick dispensing. Six of one, half dozen of another. The gal from Med Arts Press is the one I was really speaking about. Their prices are nasty. Only if you want custom colors and then I'd go to Compulabel before MAP. And BTW I wasn't trying to step on toes, just trying to help save somebody a buck. Your welcome.
I'm curious. Does it kind of sway/roll with the
Or does the ballast/weight of it keep it very steady?  I've never been on a barge or anything quite like that, so I'm just trying to imagine.  Seems it would be so comforting (rock-a-bye, baby...) if it does move a bit.  Doesn't make any of your guests a little seasick, does it?
I knew I should not have bought that roll of 37-cent stamps!
This is all my fault.
The Shack
Has anyone read "The Shack"?  Can't remember the author's name, but for me, this is one of the most interesting books I've ever read.  No, I'm not a religious nut, don't even go to church, however, I am spiritual and this book is amazing.  Any other comments out there?
and what rock
They are the worst for stealing lines, line counter is always down, pay is whenever they feel like it, and the management is rude and hateful, not to mention demanding.
Rock On
Rock concerts are so invigorating..best one I ever went to was Springsteen in the 1980's..Santana's concerts are great, too..When I leave a rock concert, I feel invincible, connected with all the other *rockers*.  Elton John, what a musical genius..My favorite songs from Elton are Crockadile Rock, Candle In the Wind and Levon..I rate him up there with John Lennon, my forever favorite..Have fun and remember..**Party Hardy**..like it was your last day on earth.
Little Rock MT
Wow. That's great. It is so nice to meet other Ark MTs.
you rock! :)
I've been wanting to know this for the longest too.  Thanks for the info!
Rock On!
Midwest MT and MTinNC, you rock.

LOL @ "School of Hard Knocks." I hear you!
WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rock!!! nm
nm
You rock!
Thank you so much for that link.  That is going to provide a wealth of info.   I appreciate it very much.
Way to go! You rock with your bad self!! nm

Radio Shack
I have 3 pedals hooked up and needed another serial port. Radio Shack has the adapter you plug into your USB for about 20.00. Worked like a charm. The only tricky part is finding the right port listed in the program you are using.
Radio Shack

They sell a very inexpensive adapter for serial and/or game port to USB.  Mine works fine with Dictaphone EXText, eScription EditScript, etc.  I think I paid $10 for it at a local store.


You can search radio shack online and see if your local store has them in stock or can get them.    many many new computers are going to exclusively USB ports, no more serial or parallel


radio shack has it all.

Might try Radio Shack. n,
.
I got one at Radio Shack
I told them what I wanted. It was a little plug-in and to switch from one computer to the other, I just hit ScrLk 2 times. Super easy to hook up and super cheap too!
try radio shack..

 


Try radio shack...for the past 4 or 5 days have been having very poor quality voice out of the blue - couldn't figure if it was my computer or phone lines or the client - but for 19.95 from R Shack I have ordered a head set that covers over background noise and also has a low/hi volume control, which I think I will really like...will let you know how it is when I get it if you are still having problems...the radio shack guy said he had 3 orders before mine...so maybe the MT world was aware they were on sale...Good Luck!
