If there's nothing to hide, people shouldn't have a problem with it.

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?
Don't put people down like you did in your posts, eh? sm
"MS in BS" ring any bells?

You have issues.
From reading these posts, these QA people are scary....

I have been reading some posts about people using AutoCorrect and ESP...sm
I use my ESP constantly and couldn't live without it. I add several daily and have been doing so for years. Why would I use AutoCorrect also? I am wondering if I am missing out on some added benefit. Could someone explain please? Much appreciated!
Can anyone see the posts? People are posting replies. Wonder if it is everyone who is having probl

hey, psychic is in your mind and your posts. i'm an mt. i just feel when people ramble about th
they usually have tried to relax and don't realize how crazy they sound. no i don't have a clue. i am reading between your lines which aren't making sense. i pretend nothing. magic 8 balls and psychic is your area of "expertise", not mine.
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!
Nothing to hide
I have nothing to hide, either, but certain things--such as IRS matters and medical records--are private and no one's da*m business.
I would not sign it, seems like they have something to hide
to sign it. Obviously they are trying to protect themselves from a MQ type of situation. Makes you wonder though?
Not even worth the hide.

I have nothing to hide from anyone, American or otherwise.
It has been on the news that our own government is offshoring IRS returns. I guess my point is what difference does it make from a "secrecy" point. There are gossips and big mouths in every country and if they want to harm you then can. I just don't see where this is an issue.

Now the issue of offshoring, taking jobs away from Americans by our politicians via NAFTA is a whole different subject. That matters a great deal and I wish I could personally offshore every politician's job. Could Ravar Singh in India be any worse than these crooked politicians? And we know he works cheaper some we can count on our taxes going down we pay to support these lying theiving politicians.
Then there are those who use christianity to hide behind
their narrow-mindedness and bigotry. The starving children in this world can't eat a bible. Maybe you should pray for them. They are in the here and now and I bet they aren't feeling your love. Birth control would be the answer to preventing the extreme inhumane deaths these innocent lives experience but the religious right doesn't think there is a place for birth control in missions abroad...go figure. Even Mother Theresa didn't give food, just spread the Catholic word. And if these children make it through starvation, they then have to face a lawless existance and who knows what happens during the night. It is hard to question the reality of a God at times like this. I can only hope they go to a better place and it makes up for the indescrible pain and suffering.

I never said I supported Bush...I just said I have nothing to hide.
If it prevents another horrible act like Sept. 11, then I really don't care. I don't have my head in the sand by the way. I keep very current with what is going on. I am totally against Bush and everything he stands for, but I am FOR protecting this country.

Just do a search and read the posts. There are plenty of posts about OSI on this board. nm.

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.

As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Um have you read any of your posts and the other posts? I think everyone DOES believe me..you

No need to be smart with him. He's got my
respect for having earned his degree, whether or not he's working in that field and for whatever reason.


Not because they are smart...because they
IQ was never the issue!
If they are smart and get out ;)

We are just so smart... sm

and great at what we do that we need a challenge once in a while.  No, switching professions is not the answer if your desire is to stay at home.  I have found that helping each other through these message boards has been quite invigorating, and to know that I am not alone in my endeavors is quite reassuring, I must say! 


Smart Gal!
Yes, this is the only job I believe where the salary goes down in time instead of up. You are smart to find another career. I have been in this line of work over 20 years and only wish I had made another move early on. Good luck to you.
You are one smart person,
this, Soft Script would go out of business!!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
Smart Young Man

Your son sounds like a very smart young man. Not many kids these days truly care about their education. They look at high school as a party/social time, and dont look into the future what so ever, and said thing is a lot of our children are not getting the guidance from home either.


My son loves to learn and loves to be challenged and with him being home schooled we are able to do so.


And one other positive note on home schooling college intrance exams have shown that home schooled kids are just as smart if not smarter than those who go to public or private schools. The one on one they get is a big big factor in that.


Best of Luck!!!!!!!

You must be an IC. Yes?? Is that where "it's" at?

That's a smart post.
I like how you think. Very good.

Transcriptionists are smart!
I had a doctor say to his "residents" that they should do transcription because I was answering all of the questions they could not, just because I've transcribed for so many years!  That was kind of a nice feeling, if I do say so myself!  So... maybe we could all be doctors some day! 
smart move. JMO

You're smart to do that.
You must feel much less bored and isolated by getting out into the real world and taking part in something more involved-feeling.


Really Smart Docs
From OB ultrasound report: "The fetus is single."

Good for that fetus! No fetus should marry before being born.
that's pretty smart.
will have to remember that.
Smart Type
You are better off just using one Expander at a time. There are things that ST will do that IT will not and vise versa. It is a matter of figuring out what is best for your needs.

You are welcome to email me and I can answer more specific questions for you.
You are 1 smart cookie
No matter what your age, you have done all the right things in order to have things go smoothly and be a productive worker at home. I like your way of doing things!
Is this legal or just not very smart? (sm)
I have a cardiologist who dictates from a template.  Even if he does not mention things from the template, they are to be left in (negatives and positives).  This includes in the PE a respiratory rate of 12.  He never mentions it, but I have been told to leave it in.  The odds of every patient he sees having a respiratory rate of 12 are pretty astronomical, and I think a lawyer could have fun with this if pressed.  My supervisor agrees but feels we should give the client what they want. 
Not too smart a question
I am sure, but I am totally new to digital transcription, as I have always used tapes.  I have a service I am wanting to test with who sent me a voice file.  I am using Express Scribe.  The file is an .exe file, and I cannot get Express Scribe to accept it.  What am I doing wrong?
Smart Type with
MedRite-XL ... what would the benefits of using Smart Type rather than the MedRite expander?  Need to to anything I can to get faster.
It is smart to have 2 jobs if you can - sm
I have 2 IC jobs, though I don't work at the 1 much anymore (just weekends if I am not too busy); I have more accounts now with the 1 job (didn't have enough work like you before) though stilll not making quite what I want but slowly creeping up to my goal. I have the other IC job to fall back on if needed which is nice to know. I also have 1 account of my own and am about to seek some more out, so maybe I can reach my personal goal. But is it smart to have 2 jobs since if one dries up or they lose the account you are on then you still have income coming in.
smart gloves
Love the smart gloves. they have sort of a bean bag on the palm and do not restrict your typing at all.
Smart expander?
Does anyone know of a "smart" expander? One that remembers what you type and makes expansions for you? I think someone said Instant Text does but I'm not sure. Maybe there isn't one? Just wondering!

TIA!
As smart as doctors are, WHY
don't they have sense enough not to dictate on cell phones & speakerphones?!  They dictate punctuation & spelling to make sure their report is perfect, but then dictate it on a cell phone cutting in and out?!

You're a smart lady.

Smart MT. Tapes or internet? SM

Hello


I am currently an IC and I have 2 physicians.  I want to use the internet to transfer files.  I am currently using tapes.  Any insight as to how do this safely, quickly, and cost effectively would be greatly appreciated.  Oh, I am stuck using dial up.   Also, how much do you charge?

Smart Gloves. Google them. They are the best!

You're not horrible - just smart
Your time is money, all the time you spent researching, designing, printing and distributing your flier was all time you spent and money out of your pocket.  Just because others may not want to do the hard work for themselves, doesn't obligate you to give away yours.  It is a business and you made a business decision.  You know pretty well that there are those who would try to short cut and just change your information for theirs.  Stick to your guns!
