Yes I can read, you sad fat and calories, not

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!
12 cpl 65 characters up to 1000 anything over 1000 = 13 cpl. sm

If you would try the Sugar Buster diet you'd

be surprised at the energy you will have.   You'll notice a difference in about 3 days.  I'm fixing to start it again because while I get up fine in the morning, after about 2 hours I hit a wall and it takes me about 2 hours to get past it where I can work again.   The only problem is I still have 2 hours left in my morning shift when I hit that wall so need to be working. 


 


Anyway the diet will give you lots of energy - similar to being on energy drinks, it will be healthier for you and if you need to lose a few pounds you can do that too. 


ROFL! Using sugar to fuel your MT fingers?
I will admit to having a jar of Bit o' Honeys and Hershey kisses on my desk, but I only have one per day.  I'm happy right where I am, too.  I love working at home.  We've got huge windows and a sliding glass door, and I have total control of the thermostat.  It's nothing like any of my other jobs where it was always too hot or too cold and we never got to see the daylight. 
Coke and pretzels!! Sugar and Salt will

Sugar free candy suggestions? (sm)
My father-in-law is diabetic and we are visiting him tomorrow.  I'd like to find him some yummy candy before I leave town.  Wal-Mart is the closest store to the interstate that is 24-hour.  Any suggestions for what I could find there?  Thanks. 
I especially agree with taking ALL sugar out of your diet.

Grape jelly and brown sugar????
Is that as a sauce or in the meatball mix, itself? Would you mind parting with the recipe, my curiosity is getting the best of me.
Be sure to keep areas dry and free of all sugar composites.

Boric acid plus same amount of sugar to
get the ants to take the boric acid (Mule Team Borax).  Works like a charm.  We had carpenter ants years ago, and exterminator wanted $700 back then to get rid of them.  As just a fluke, I was listening to a radio talkshow after the call to the $700 exterminator, and they mentioned Mule Team Borax with same amount of sugar applied around the house, and make sure children or pets will not get into it. 
stay away from sugar and take glucosamine chondroiten.

Energy drinks. Caffeine and sugar, sm
and all kinds of vitamins. I like the Sobe one. I even drink it in the morning now, instead of coffee.
Caffeine and sugar had negative effect

My experience with trying to remain alert during 3rd shift:  I was trying to perk myself up with caffeine and sugar, but also found that I actually became MORE tired as a result.  Apparently, there's a biochemical explanation for this, due to the effect of caffeine and sugar on my insulin/blood sugar response.  Both caffeine and sugar cause an initial rise in blood sugar, but then a serious slump in blood sugar occurs, causing me to be even more tired than before.  So, I gave up the coffee and, after 3 days of withdrawal symptoms with horrendous headaches and fatigue, am having much more success staying awake during 3rd shift.  I have also found that a protein drink or snack is a much better solution.  Also, I am told that there are stimulants that do not affect the central nervous system as caffeine does, such as guarana, which I have not tried yet.


Also, it took me at least six weeks to adjust my body clock.  I figured out that I had to sleep at the same time every day for several hours, at least 7, and couldn't just take a few naps during the day and then expect to stay awake at night. 


The only reason I choose to work at night is because the pay is better; otherwise, I wouldn't do it.  I look forward to someday having a decent account with a decent pay with a 24-hour turnaround time.  I realize this is a fantasy.


 


Exercise, cutting down on sugar, and Prozac helps me. nm

My best advice for arthritis. Take sugar out of your diet. You will not believe the difference it

Just a splash of skim milk. No sugar, creamer or flavorings.

OMG, I never made the connection but I think you're right - sugar = big line counts = $$$$$ Than

Walmart has a great selection of sugar-free candies.

Since I gave up eating sugar and refined carbs, I don't crave chocolate sm
I gave up sugar and refined carbs in March of 2004 and I don't crave anything "bad" anymore. I actually had withdrawal-type symptoms for a few days though.

I feel much, much better now :)
I love to make meatballs with the grape jelly and brown sugar mix.
Also, the little smokies (wieners) and bbq sauce for appetizers.
1000

Seem I do not have a minimum line count, I tend to drag my lines on all day.  I have kids who I drop off and pick up at school, as well as volunteer at their school 1 or 2 mornings a week.  Most mornings, if I start as soon as I drop them off, around 815 am, and work until I leave to pick them up at 2pm, and I only stop to use the restroom, I can get in 800-900.  I usually will do another 100 before dinner while the kids are in the 'Disney Zone'  Im not sure if I could handle having the pressure of a minimum count as well as a set schedule. 


About $1000.

I did over 1000 in 3 hours, and do so
routinely. Lots of ESL docs, but the key is an expander and doing the same account for more than a year. You need to lay the groundwork, like making sure you have doctors lists, know the formats and account specifics, and have readily available list of resources or reference books to use. At first take the time to write down all the unusual words or terms, instruments, etc., and then it will all fall into place.

Don't just rely on a single word in an expander. Make phrases, sentences, paragraphs, whatever is necessary. My rule of thumb- if I typed the same thing in full 3 times, that was 3 times too many, time to make a shortcut.
Is 1000 lines a day 1000 lines a day for most

companies. 


Where I work you have to have 1000 lines a day which is not a problem. But say you get 1000 lines a day, work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week that makes 5000 lines per week. This place has a formula where they take the 5000 divide it by 40, because you work 40 hours and that would give you 125 per hour. Then they multiply that by 7.5 because this is supposedly the number of hours we work a day because supposedly we take two 15 minute breaks and whether we do our not. They would say we only get 937.5 per day. Is this pretty much what all places do our just where I work?


1000 lines

CAn you elaborate on what you mean by "open a few things" in Word for lines, etc..  I'm not real great at computers-over and above what is called for to do my job.


Thanks!


1000 in 3 hours
Takes me 3 hours to do 1000 lines in the current company and account - would love to hear what company the 3218 lines are made in - I love to type and love working at home but I think Medquist is somehow jipping me in my lines but I can't prove it.
No -- I have a list of over 1000 new ones
--that's just the new ones, not counting the 2nd and 3rd year residents. Too many new names.

I was looking at the Vostro 1000 (sm)

not a bad price, was told by Dell 30-day money back guarantee and they'll pay to have it shipped back if not completely satisfied.  Sounds like an unbelievable deal. 


No way $1000/mo. I am a family of 4 and
ours is way less than that. 
most MTs I know do about 1000-1200 lpd

Me too! I always try to go for 1000 grains
and it has now become a competition with DH. I usually win Hee Hee!
1000 lines??
Can someone please give me an idea of approximately how long it takes to type 1000 lines a day? I know it can vary depending on dictators, platforms, typing speed, etc., but I've never kept track of how many lines I do and would like an idea of how long this would take. It would be for clinic notes through MS Word. I type around 90 wpm with almost 10 years' experience. Thanks for any info!
RE: 1000 Lines ???
An average MT can transcribe upto 15-20 minutes of dictation per hour, i.e., 150-200 lines per hour, without compromise in quality. So, you can process 1000 lines in 6-1/2 hours.


new job 1000 lpd, old job 1100 lpd sm
I routinely do 1300-1500 and never break a sweat. I can't sit for 8 hours straight, so I tend to piddle around and I get up a lot.

I think that expectation is fair, but not for a newbie and probably a low expectation for one well experienced.

Old job I topped out at 160 lines an hour. COULD NOT manage more, no matter what I did. New job I top out at nearly 300 lph and I don't think that will get any better. The difference is the platform, since the new job has harder work (more ESLs, less clear audio, etc.)

It is all relative.
1000 lines a day, impossible? sm
this is not unrealistic.  On a good day, I can easily do 16-1700 lines! A mere 1000 lines per day is NOT an unachievable goal, even for a newbie or semi-newbie. My company requires 1200 lines a day, which I believe is about average!
I did and got it....$1000 for part-time.
