Have a Kirby G5-- bought local used for $500 with the shampooer- love it--
runs like a champ, does a great job on the carpets too. Used is the way to go since new they are about $1400.
It works if they say the same thing or SM
almost the same thing. I can attest to the fact C-sections are must saves. Usually orthopedic procedures are also good to save. Hernia repairs. Basically, depends on doctor, but would rather save, than not save.
Do you even know how this kind of thing works?
The governor of a state is responsible for assessing potential disasters, the amount of assistance that is immediately available and if it is not enough in his/her opinion he/she is to contact the federal government and request assistance. Kathleen Blanco did not do this, underestimated the storm and the amount of resources she had available to her in her area and dropped the ball.

She's no Rudy Guiliani, plain and simple.

Take a middle school Civics class and try to keep up.

The feds were warning those people to get out of there a week ago and they did not. If blame must be placed, Blanco dropped the ball and was unqualified for her job as governor, and the residents there are idiots for staying in the path of a Category 5 hurricane when they were warned to evacuate days before it hit.

I'm so sick of the "nobody likes me because I'm poor" attitude of helplessness that got those people poor and kept them that way in the first place.
Wow - I do the same thing! Works everytime. nm

One thing that works for me is to speed them up just a bit,
for some reason makes it a bit easier to understand. Also, I'd ask for samples of past work to be able to see what are the common things they just fly through. Speed 'em up or slow 'em down, see if one of these makes it better for you. Best of luck.
Here is the only thing I have found that works sm

Get a full 8 hours of good sleep at night. 


Most people in the US, especially the female people in the US, do not get enough sleep.  We push, and push and push, and do for everyone...but not ourselves.  We stay up late trying to keep a nice house.  We cook meals, do the dishes and work.  Men don't get it.  ANY woman who works outside the home can tell you, we ALL work the second shift of housecleaning, childcare, cooking and laundry.  Men work one shift at the office and sit on their wide fat arses for the evening and complain about what they aren't getting.  Precious few will clean up in any way, shape or form.


OF COURSE you are tired and draggy at work.  Once I finally realized that I was overeating to compensate for being so very tired I looked at my fat behind and understood that sleep is more important than food.  I started insisting on 8 hours of sleep.  Guess what? I don't power nap at my desk anymore!  I have lost 40 lbs in a year and I am actually getting more done, at work and at home.


No amount of energy drink or caffeine makes up for sleep.


whatever works for you, that's great, and what works for me is great too

great when it works
We live in the midwest and with wind, rain, etc., the picture would die. One night we were under a tornado warning and watching the Weather Channel and it just went fuzzy.
Yes and yes it works great! nm

Well if it works for you that's great!
I've never tried it myself, but might just out of curiosity.  : )
MetaboLife works great for me! nm

I use Shorthand. It works great in there. sm
The Scribe platform is easy to use once you are used to it. My lines have doubled in the past two months. I use Shorthand for EVERYTHING.

Go to www.pcShorthand.com. There is a trial version.
Works great for smoothies too! nm

it works great for a lot of people, but
be aware that as with most medications it starts to wear off, so if it works for you, I would say go for it and don't dilly dally around with it, because one day it will not work for you, at least that is what happened to me years ago.
you have to really, really want to quit..then it works great.

I have a Belkin and it works great.

My Linksys works great!!!
I just switched to Linksys about six months ago and it works wonderfully.
Voange works great for me! nm

Same here Linksys also. Works great..sm
and have never had any problems with it. I use it for a laptop and have a hard wired desktop pc. My daughter also runs off the Linksys and has had no problems.
Works great! Better than Vonage. SM
I found that with Vonage there was a lag when I would rewind or fast forward in a dictation.  Drove me batty.  Switched to Mediacom phone and it works great.  No lag, clear as a bell.
I should add it works great with the fax machine too!
With Vonage I could never send or receive faxes.  I kept getting "poor line quality" error messages on my fax machine. 
I use MagicJack & it works great. nm

Laptop works great for me
I've been using a laptop now for over a year for full time MT.  I have a Sony Vaio with plenty memory and great processor.  I attach my mouse, keyboard and foot pedal and I'm good to go. I traveled over the summer and was able to work from anywhere with internet access. A great thing! 
Excel works great too, has a template too.

oops, meant to say it really works great for me.

I use CS and ST, works great. The CS that I use is actual Word -sm
I have heard that Chartscript net, which is the newer version, is different - more like a box that you type in instead of actual Word. I have worked for 2 places using CS now, and it implements the actual Word program. As long as it's not Chartscript net, you should be okay. When working, we're told to open our own version of Word first before we even log into CS because it will save anything there if the report you are working on is lost somehow. When I type in CS, which looks just like my Word, ST is up and running right in CS, just like when typing in my own Word program. No problems with it at all. I know what you mean.....I would haaate to work without ST too. Hope it works out for you!
I use ShortHand with my ExText. Works great! nm

Vonage! Works great with my Cphone. nm

tank the cherry pickers

Cherry picking sure hurts the hospitals because they are waiting on these reports and if the cherry picker skips over, then if no one else is on-line, its gonna take a while to do those reports..so it hurts the hospital and the trans service..and the patient, which is supposedly what we are all about..LEGAL ACCURATE MEDICAL RECORDS..I cant believe that a cherry picker would even post here..I would be too ashamed to admit that I shaft my coworkers, the hospital and trans service I work for..


It's always the first thing a computer person asks me...lol! And it works a lot of the time. nm

She's right! The Mary Kay lip care is the ONLY MK stuff i use, works GREAT. nm

I have it - it works great and updates daily, unlike
Norton and/or McAfee, BOTH of which allowed viruses to infect my computer. I won't spend any more of my hard-earned dollars on either. If you register with Avast, you can have their service free for 13 months. It runs in the background and checks literally everything, including net, email and any attachments that come with emails.
Shorthand works great with DQS and is half the price

still have my Kirby 35 yrs and counting
My FIL gave all his kids Kirby's for wedding presents and it's still going strong. Just have to have it in the shop once every few years, outlasted the kids and junk they didn't pick up before using it and now working on the grandkids..  Those things cost an arm and a leg these days, but it was free way back when.
I use Webroot Spy Sweeper, works great. I don't leave it on though and run it once a week - sm
as I have eliminated my problem program that was causing me trouble ( Network Essentials) which is  a tracking software that tracks what websites you go to, etc.  I was running it daily for about a month and every day it would pop up......finally it does not download anymore.  I have a firewall too, guess I could set it up to reject it IF if knew where it was coming from.  But no major problems since, just Adware junk now and then. Good luck with it and just run your program frequently to get rid of it.....
I bought a refurbished eMachine for DD in college, works great. nm
