Yes I can read, you sad fat and calories, not
all the carbs and starch. 
OMG--1000 calories and 10 grams of sugar.

I felt crappy for 8 days..while coming off carbs..but now feel great..don't forget calories still
for those who are carb sensitive..its a godsend and a lifestyle. I really like this site: http://www.lowcarbluxury.com

there are TONS of wonderful recipes. I made the chicken cordon blue for the whole family and mock mashed taters..yummy!! Obviously not the same but I was a happy camper to have mashed again. Good luck!
The food is resturant quality food and very good

Not upset - everyone makes bad choices in their life at some time or another. sm
No one is perfect. Hopefully, someone will give you a chance and your money and time won't be wasted.

Good luck to you!
Thanks. Good tip. I was really beginning to wonder ! nm

17 inch is a good size - they have glare screens

I have had both types of monitors - now both 17 inches but one is a flat screen and one is not.  They do offer glare screens to put over your monitors to cut down on glare which stress the eyes.  I have no problems and been using a computer monitor doing this MT work since 1990, but been transcribing for much longer than that.


Best of luck! 


Guess they'll be in with food poisoning next time
since they ate that gangrene...bwahahahahaha
It depends on font size, line length, margin size, etc.
There are too many variables. 
what size package do you have? i have basic and i couldn't make good lines due to speed. nm

$2000 for food???? Good Lord (sm)
I guess Weight Watchers is the way to go.  I've been successful with WW in the past, but gained it back.  I guess it's time to go back.  I feel like the prodigal daughter. 
I did NutriSystem 15 years ago. The food was good.
I got scared when the week I went in and had eaten off the program they said, "We've created a chemical balance in your body and ANYTHING you eat off the program screws it up." That scared me. I wondered what in the heck their chemical balance was and decided I couldn't live with it. I got off. I've obviously gained back all the weight (60+ lbs) all because I BELIEVE if you don't want to stay on it forever then you can't do it. You'll never get their chemical balance with regular food and you'll gain if and when you decide to quit paying and go off their foods. Think real hard, change what you're eating with real food and you'll do much better in the long run.
Good advice...Iams is junk food anymore....
It used to be good, but it's gone by way of most of the rest of them...  Anything that can be purchased in a grocery store is garbage.  I recommend Wellness, Innova, or California Natural.  Only pet stores stock premium dog foods.  However, Labs and GAS seem to go hand in hand, having owned 2 of them.  Rice and some boiled chicken mixed with a good healthy kibble might help. 
Food stamps, WIC, food banks, churches, family...
There are many answers to that problem.

No one has the right to steal and writing a dishonorable check is stealing. It is called "theft of property".

My tax dollars support government programs to prevent people from going hungry and to provide for women, infants, and children. I make donations to food banks and churches, etc., for those who just need help as well.
Food for the staff and doctors, if you can afford it. Food is always a big hit in a doctor's off

One of the biggest perks I can remember when I worked in a doctor's office was when the drug reps or orthopedic equipment reps would cater lunch for the whole office just so they could meet with the docs.  The whole office would get so jazzed at the idea of free lunch.


If you can't afford to cater lunch, then I would do something like a muffin basket and bagels always go over well.  But food is your best bet.

The girl was 13, the rapist a distant relative they took in. Give money, give food and your time, b
you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
Well, I just took the first portion and already they said I

test as I kept a copy of it.  I do see ONE error out of the whole test and that's it and they didn't give me test results. I saw the one error on my own.  The rest of the test is completely correct. I have been in the MT industry for over 20 years so I know what I'm doing. Don't waste your time testing for AssistMed. Joan


Call IRS and tell them I will take your portion.

Especially for Iowa, that is pretty good. UI can get good over time, but that's because of the u

I have posted a portion of MQ article here
Operating Income:

Preliminary, unaudited results indicate that operating income declined from approximately $61 million, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 to approximately $23 million for the comparable 2004 period. The decline in operating income includes: 1) the impact of approximately $11 million in costs incurred in 2004 related to the ongoing billing investigation and associated litigation, 2) approximately $4 million in costs associated with separation and replacement of the Company's management team, including members at the executive level and 3) approximately $3 million associated with the write-off of intangible assets associated with products no longer being offered. In addition, the base business, as described above in the Revenues section, experienced a decline in transcription service volume from existing and lost clients and a decline in transcription service rates charged to customers. The impact of the revenue decline was partially offset by several cost saving initiatives including reductions in telecommunications costs, office consolidations and associated staff reductions.


I use the healt portion of www.answers.com
There are several online medical dictionary sites. I suggest you Google 'free online medical dictionary' and go from there. They are all set up so differently. Find one you like.

I only use www.answers.com and www.rxlist.com for meds. All I need.
I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

If they are paying 7cpl for the editing portion lol nm
That was for the EditScript ad right? If it was for the editing portion, I'd take it :-) Sadly it isn't.
Portion of pest control if you have that service. nm

You have several choices
You can change the current Singles glossary you are using under Options/Singles

I am pretty sure the MedsinglV.glo has "but" for b

And as mentioned you can always edit any of the Singles glossaries in Notepad.

choices
It may take some searching and time, but look. Not all companies post on this forum. Reach out to any and all contacts that you have ever had in the MT world. If more of us refuse to get paid an income that is ridiculously low, things will have to improve. I've walked away from jobs before for various reasons and I've always found work. I just refused to get paid crap for my knowledge. I refuse to work extra hours every day to make up for lousy technology. Period. As much as I love being an MT, I'd walk away from this work and do whatever it took to make a DECENT income. It's a matter of what's right.
Can deduct portion of mortgage, utilities.Equip

How can you feel loyalty to a company that so clearly has no regard for a large portion of its MTs.
;O
deduct telephone, electric and portion of house payments.
Hope this helps!
Have to agree. Really nice choices.

I'm with you ... people can make their own choices. nm

Where you come off comparing gay lifestyle choices to sm
pedophiles (which can be compared with, say, serial killers IMHO) is NUTS. Pedophiles rape children and break the law. And you are showing a common thread HOW????
Thanks! You're right; it's all about making the right choices. NM

With those choices, go with 9 cents/line

I worked for a company that paid by the report - $1.15 for everything except interventionals, which were $2.25.  Per report is fine until you start getting into the 2-page MRI reports, which I had a lot of. When I found this website and saw what the per-line rate was for some people, I started checking the line counts and comparing. The only reports I was actually coming out ahead on were things like chest x-rays that were only 2 or 3 lines. You can see that at 9 cents a line, once you get more than about 12 lines, you make more being paid by the line. 


I have two part-time jobs now, one paid by the line and the other by the report, but the pay per report is VERY good, much higher than the going rate, because these are radiologists I have worked with before and a) they are very generous and b) they appreciate my expertise. 


I guess what I'm saying here is if you are paid enough per report, go for it. $1.10 - fugedaboutit!! 


Does China now own a large portion of U.S. Treasury bonds? You sound "in the know."

No sound a likes, but lots of other choices...

If the doc takes Medicare, which most do, you will find him here.  You can narrow it to specialty, first name, last name, partial last name, city, state, or all of the above.  Much more thorough than WebMD.  Good luck.


Might be some tips on foodtv.com. Most big cookbooks also give portion sizes and party info. nm

True. So then don't work. We're talking CHOICES here. nm

I know why I am transcribing (a few bad choices I made early in life) - sm
But I did not lie about my IQ when I replied. There are genuine circumstances that prevent potential from being realized. I don't think I would have ever had the mentality to hold up a job more suited to my potential, though, and would have probably fallen on my face, had I been a doctor or a lawyer or such. I do know I would be dead now (long story). The direction I took was what seems now like a bad choice in life that lead to MT'ing to make a living, but in talking with my friends, they think it was providential.

MT'ing is easy because I remember everything without references. It helps me feel better about myself, and I make easy money.

Maybe this is what was intended.

Totally understanding. Our kids grow up and we have no choices.
My dear friend just called me yesterday crying because her daughter is living with her partner and the partner is pregnant. The daughter is sooo happy, the mother cried. So what you're describing is happening more than where you are and it is saddening. What can she do, nothing. Our kids whether we like it or not grow up and jump out to make their own choices. Some of these choices are "you can't tell me what to do anymore!" And, we have no choice but to live with it. So the choices then become to be miserable OR focus on your own life and work on making yourself happy in spite of what your kids put you through. You have a life, don't let your kid drown it out because of his poor choices. You may think who am I to say such a thing, I'm the mom whose son made poor choices and went to jail, I'm the mom whose daughter chose to abort my first grandbaby, I'm the mom whose son left his wife and kids after almost 10 years of marriage. I really do know how you feel. Find some joy for yourself in your life, you won't find it when you're looking at his.
You can accept the changes or you can shape the changes. THOSE are the choices. Reactive versus Pr
I choose to be proactive.  Apparently, the consensus here is to lie down like a dog and just let it happen.
How about setting a monetary limit and give choices, sm
such as: Would the MT rather have PTO, a Stedmans reference book of choice, or cash?

Feel free to email me about this. Lots of choices nm

In the beginning ........... there were NO
nationals ..........
I was beginning to think it was just me...sm

I see these kinds of questions so often.  I was beginning to think everybody worries about this junk. 


I don't see any of that in the beginning.
I thought, from your post, that you were an IC who failed to understand basic economics.
In the beginning there were a lot of
bugs with Vista. Also, if what the MTSO has is compatible with their clients, why upgrade and possibly loose clients???
That is a good time, probably take me 10-12 or - sm
maybe longer. Granted if they are easy I can easily do 15 minutes in one hour (or more, 24 minutes is the most I have done in 1 hour), but when you get tired, bored, etc, it seems to take a lot longer. I'd say you are right on target.
I'm beginning to wonder if that's all there is left is
crap dictation.  Most of us say we're doing the crappy dictation and ESLs.  So the good stuff is really going overseas or to VR?  Or are there people here who get the good stuff all the time, which is why they make good money and we don't?
