I normally wouldn't mind at all but we have.sm
and THAT I do mind......thinks he's a King.....no one else does *rofl*
I'd still settle for 5 ft 2 in. Of course I wouldn't mind

be 5'6"+ and having legs that just wouldn't quit, but then I wouldn't be the person I've become and I much prefer who I am to who I might have been. 


That's true. I wouldn't mind wearing the
burka thing or whatever you call it.  I can't have direct sunlight on my skin anymore anyway (melanoma survivor).  I would fit right in except for the freckles, green eyes and strawberry hair.  I did hear there are very good horseback riding places and that would be a big draw for me of course, as I would be a real cowgirl if I could.  Just don't live in the right place or time for that  matter. 
You are very thoughtful

Thank you for the response, I really appreciate you taking the time to write me and I took your advice to heart.  I'm glad I posted this, i'm not a very open person and so this is kind of all I have right now.  I've already taken the time to write an email to my mom, and through the advice of others, told her basically i'm uncomfortable going around there, but I love her and for her to remember that, and I just need space right now.  She wrote back that whenever i'm ready to talk, please write.  So the door is open.  Its a start.


I'm also going to write another person in my family, who will understand more than anything, and then help me out with the actual bringing everything to light.  My stepfather is in therapy for something else, maybe if he's confronted by this he'll get help for this too, even though he's 70, its never too late.  The only thing, he more  than likely will deny it and say I blew things out of proportion, or my mom will.  Thats my worst fear, or to have my mom fall deeper into her depression.  But even I have questioned this...and its undeniable to me that something is wrong. 


This has taken so long to get to this point, I wish I were like some of you and to just confront and nip it in the bud, but like I said, its my nature to want to keep things as peaceful as possible and hopefully it will get ironed out on its own.  Thats awful, I know.  And I want to say again, in no way am I comparing myself to sexually abused children, but this is something that has been eating away at me for awhile, its been a hurtful burden because my mom and I are kind of all each other has, even though we do not relate well, we are always there, and I just do not want to lose that, or have her hurt and humiliated more than she has to be. 


Thanks again everyone..well  most of you, for your responses.  They have really helped me.


Thank you for your thoughtful reply
I am going to keep looking elsewhere. The company I work for is very large, and the things I mentioned seem to be a problem in pretty much any region you are talking about from what I have heard from other people who work here in this company. I will keep hoping to come across a company that was like this company USED to be years ago before it got too big for its britches and greed took over. Thank you again for your help.
I think it is thoughtful of you and you should not be too concerned if (sm)
someone thought it "weird" as gifts are given from the heart and yours seems to be overflowing!!!  It is so nice to see someone actually more worried about giving this year than receiving!!  I work from home as well for a small MTSO and I will follow in your footsteps!!!
Very thoughtful post.
xx
very thoughtful and caring of you to do this.

You're very thoughtful
The girls are lucky to have you. Frankly, if they had boyfriends a year ago and now they are both suddenly into women, I have to agree with your husband that it is exploration and most likely will pass.

I would worry about anyone putting their place of employment on their blog. There are a lot of idiots in the world and a lot of hate-filled sociopaths would might target a person because of where they work - like an abortion clinic, the post office, a certain religious organization, etc.

Gay men and women particularly have to be circumspect - there are people out there who will do them harm just for being gay. I realize your girls are young and full of life and in love, but they need to temper their enthusiasm with some caution. Instead of putting the name of the company, put the field - such as healthcare, marketing, education, etc.

Yes, thanks for a thoughtful and constructive comment. SM
Much too rare on this board. I'm shocked by how many people still don't use Expanders and use them very extensively. People need to understand and accept that today's much higher standard of production is set by those who do.
You guys sound more thoughtful than most here...
Of course most coding will be point-and-click to computer, but don't you think the EMR will allow a broader range of medical record work to be done remotely?
It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
Your mind was in the gutter up there with sauteed stool, too. Would you please take your mind out of

Wouldn't that mean that you simply wouldn't have to print out everything?

Would you mind ...
sharing that site with me? You can email me personally at kathy.eberle@gmail.com. I did get that very email and would like to know what everyone else has to say! Thanks!

Kathy
LOL! Never mind - I see it now.
I was sure it wasn't there a minute ago! 
Keep in mind, please......
That if a company has more than, say, 10 accounts, that the recruiters just might not KNOW how difficult an account is. When you get a requisition for account #67, there's no telling whether it's the best account on the planet, or the worst.
Don't mind
Actually don't mind the lower income right then, because I am selling my house and can afford to lose a little, knowing that after the first of the year or so I can get my line count back up.
keep in mind
In addition to the good comments made above you must also be aware that if you are going to a program that may upgrade occasionally and is not static you may well run the risk of losing your autotext entries.  If you are really good about backing up your files, good for you and no problems really, but if you are like the rest of us and forget more than you remember to back up .. you could have one horrible day when you see the file not convert or some such ugly thing!
If you don't mind (sm)
your money being used to support anti-reproductive choice terrorism, go ahead and join.
Please keep in mind
how good you are feeling since beginning the drug, and that all drugs are very individual in how they event anyone.  You really should not make a decision for yourself regarding some one's experience.  
Never mind...duh

Do you mind me asking...
what company do you work for and are they hiring? I have been an Editor for 15 years and am having a hard time find a good company to work for. Thanks
Please keep in mind that many
of the people on this site work at home. Some have forgotten (some never knew) how to interact with others in a courteous and professional manner.
Please keep in mind (sm)
that he will tell you anything you will want to hear. One thing I had to ask myself when I was going thru this was, is this someone that I would want my daughter married to? I repeated that question to myself any time I was tempted to "try again."
where at and of what...if you don't mind my asking...TIA (NM)

I have! You can do anything you set your mind to!

There are many, but the ones that come to mind first are...
I love him because of the way he loves me. He's not fake, pretentious or condescending. He's funny, talented, and is a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Besides that, he's not afraid to go to the store JUST for a box of tampons ;) ... He's the absolute best and I've never been happier.
I do not mind either
Usually, if I am visiting at my mother's house and need to go online, I will ask but it is not a big deal & vice versa. But it all depends on what they want to use the computer for. When we ask each other to use the computer, it is always just to quickly look something up online & it never involves using that person's computer programs or going into their files or anything like that - just the Internet.
never mind!
was able to recover - Whew!
I don't mind .... sm

If young and older American men and woman love America so much that they are willing to go to a for foreign land to protect my liberties with their lives - I certainly will assume the responsibility of freedom for all by letting the government see who I call.  Frankly, my phone call list is very boring I am afraid. 


So to those who want to make a big deal over nothing (as long as you have nothing to hide), remember who is giving up . .  an easier way of making a living (so that you can sit back, fat and sassy) . .  an 8 hour work shift five days a week making far less than us (so you can make the money you feel you deserve and are entitled to). .  being separated from their families (while we are all getting ready to celebrate mother's day with our families) . . .all because of the love for OUR country and THEIR fellow citizens.


STOP - LOOK- LISTEN - Is it your brother, your father, your uncle, your sister, your mother, your aunt, your fiance, your neighbor, your life long friend? - we all are God's precious children. 


God Bless to all of our military and to you and your family - Pray for a United America.


 


 


I don't mind at all
If they do this and find terrorists in this country and can stop them before they do something else horriffic, I don't mind at all.
I don't mind at all
I think you have misunderstood my post. I was just saying that one MT might make $16,000 per year at 8 cpl and another MT might make double or triple that. Maybe even more. Being an experienced MT I know that it can depend on many factors, that is what I was trying to express. I'm sorry if you misunderstood.

Realistically, I don't think a new MT or even an experienced MT should anticipate $100K per year. So, if you still want my opinion, my guess would be that at 8 cpl, 40 hour week, you would probably make $30,000 to $35,000. Good luck!
I don't mind your asking--sm
as far as I know, they are still together. They got married one month after his financial obligation to me was ended. It took me a while to get over the anger, because I never even saw it coming, but I guess the anger was mostly at me, for letting myself get into that situation in the first place. I had to forgive him for what he did and the way he did it, and I had to forgive myself for being blind in the first place. I prayed alot and God took me through it. I give thanks every day for what He has given me in return. I AM happy though. Thanks for asking.
really do you mind
if I ask how productive you are with it?  Are you editing or transcribing or both?  What is a good hourly average lines per hour?  Thanks!
Oh, OK.....I did not know that, but ... please sm (if you don't mind)

If you are on a regular page in IE, say on this page rigth here, if you hit ctrl F3 do you get the productivity tools?  Maybe I am wrong in what my problem is.  When I try to log into Bayscribe from the log in page I get an error that says "No such Account.BPTVer = [].  My account has been checked by two others who can get it, but I can't. 


Thanks again!  It is so nice of you to try to help.  I very much appreciate it.


Paula


You can do it if you put your mind to it.

Check out this link - it shows you some samples!!!  Good luck!  I'm sure you could get the hang of it if you want it bad enough!

Don’t know where my mind was,
know you were talking per mile, not hour. I do not know what the most is he ever made per mile because we have not been married a long, long time but just know am glad he has the job he has, otherwise I would be working my numerous jobs to make a living now with the MTers money steadily declining. I am also glad he did not buy his own truck as 1 coworker tried to get him to. The gas situation went sky high after that and thank goodness he was not involved in that. He loves his job (as do I) and some are just not cut out for that field, same as ours I guess.
Never mind, Sorry, just saw
that you sadi "son" and the person I'm talking about only has a daughter, but the same thing happened to her this morning in a conference call. Must have been the same company. That is very sad
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? sm
Please don't be alarmed right now. I am anxious to know what they say. I had a breast scare a few weeks ago with indented breasts and nipple changes (no discharge). Everything came back clear and normal. PLEASE keep us informed. Do you ever visit the Gab board on this site? I am there every day. Please post your concern over there and we will support you. Plus, I want to know what the mammo says! Thanks!

Kim
if you don't mind my asking??

what do you average your houly salary to be.  No IC answers please.  I'm talking working 40 hour weeks, no OT, no ASR.  I can only seem to get to about $16/hr and I hear all these people on here talking about $25/hr.  How in the world do you do it? I'm not being nosey, i'm just wondering if i'm at the low end of the totem pole. TIA


 


 


All in my mind?!?!........
Don't they know where you live? Didn't you know that most of them pay you by where you live? Rural folks do get less pay, and I had a supervisor once tell me that one when I was employed with an MTSO. It would be nice to see someone like you come here and try to get a job for what they pay you in the urban areas. It's all in your mind.
do you mind saying where you went?
it sounds like things worked out good for you :)
Do you mind me asking what DQA is?
Sorry, I'm confused. I am hoping to hear from MDI-MD at this point as well. Sounds like a good choice to me. Thanks for your help. But is DQA something else? Maybe its late, and I hope its not some easy term that my fried brain is missing. You know how it is with MQ, trying to figure out all those abbrevs and acronyms...Still confused between DEP and DQS.
never mind
I fixed the problem.
if you don't mind my asking,
what is a jump drive?
never mind
I found the answer on the site. Sorry!!  I will try getting stickers for the keys. I don't need them, the husband and kids do occasionally. Thanks.
Never mind BOS
The JCAHO (who accredits hospitals) has a list of dangerous abbreviations that should never be used because of the hazard to the patient of mistaks being made.  Try to get a copy of that list and go by it if you can.
Are you out of your mind?????
Now, WHAT was CRAPPY about her post?
She just stated that she tried a lot to get a job and could't.
Where is the crap??????
If you don't mind me asking...
how do you charge? What are your rates?
If you don't mind me asking

Sorry, I did not see your question.  I charge 14 cpl.  I transcribe for 2 neurology practices and half of a cardiology practice.  There are 3 neurology docs for one practice (and the dictate everyday. My other neurology practice has 2 docs.


The cardiology docs (2 of them) each dicctate 3 days per week. I am an  independent contractor. I get paid once a month from each practice.


If you want anymore info, just let me know.
