Any rose gardeners out there? Good roses that are disease proof and smell good?
I heard good things about Knockout Rose but they don't smell too much like traditional rose.  Supposedly blooms all season.

Agree with other poster.. good price..good service
I definitely think they are one of the best out there. We also have been talked through issues over the phone and also had a warranty in which they came out and fixed it right at our home. My only complaint..and I am sorry for saying this.. but... when you call their customer service 9 out of 10 times...you get someone who barely speaks English and I just hate that. I think that is true of a lot of customer support centers these days, ironically they are rarely American anymore. I am not prejudice at all. I just find it frustrating to call in for help and the help you get barely understands you and you do not understand them, thus making the experience very frustrating..
Expensive is right -- around $300 per credit hour! But they do have a good rep. Good luck! nm

I believe Pilates is good for shaping and strength, but you still need some cardio for good fat

Good for you. Sounds very interesting and a good chance of pace - sm

but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live.  I also live in a small town so that limits my options.  I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT.  The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations.  With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that.  I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.   


Thanks for all the responses.    


8 is NOT good if never going any higher - good to get the rust out in the short term though

Is the dictation quality good, are the dictators good, are you
a newbie and you still have to look up lots of words ....   The very first day I typed, with absolutely no education way back when, when you didn't have to have a degree/certificate or previous experience, I typed 665 lines.  This was without an expander and I was not a fast typist.   I can do 1000 lines in about 4 hours now on average. 
LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

I am sure MQ will change their policies now because of the actions you took. Congrats.
Yep, a good MTSO will get rid of the crappy doctor, not the good MT...sm
unfortunately, there aren't many MTSOs out there who will confront a poor dictator and nip it in the bud to begin with.

In the old days we used to do this all the time. A doctor was put on report and told to shape up and if he didn't he would either be charged more because they had to pay an MT more to do his lousy dictation, or he was always given the option to do his own reports if he wouldn't comply.

Believe it or not, almost every physician my former company did this to straightened up their act became good dictators and found that it was actually less stressful and less time consuming for them too!!

The MTSOs just don't have the guts to do this anymore... and they should. I can make more money on good dictators with a lower line rate than crappy dictators at a higher rate, and would rather have the better dictators and lower rate than the other... it's a win-win for both the MT and MTSO because the MT is making more money per hour and the MTSO gets to pay less for her MTs and make a better profit. I can't believe the MTSOs haven't figured this one out.
This is not a good choice. There are too many good schools

that have proven their worth. Andrews, MTEC and even Career Step, but I would not choose a school that has spammed the internet in every crack there is as the one you have mentioned.  Find some graduates and see what they have to say.  Go to mtchat.com and do a search of this school. 


Thank you too! A good laugh is a good thing.

I really wish you good health and good luck!

I know that what you are doing is a major undertaking.  Just remember that this is what you want and that you CAN do it!  It won't be easy by any stretch of the imagination, but once you have accomplished it, you will truly know what you are capable of.  I think you are very brave.  Please know that all of us are pulling for you and are here to help you if you need it.  Go to the hospital if you are feeling at all unsure or unstable.  Don't give up because the reward will be great.  Please let us know how you are doing.


Pulling for you!


good for you; you'll get more from it, with good socialization,

Transcribing from tapes on a Selectric typewriter with 3 or 4 carbons and white out, no spellcheck, no expansion program, no internet for research.  
I agree! To be a good MT we must take the good with the bad!
It sometimes takes longer to learn ESL docs and is a pain in the butt, but all that does not kill us makes us stronger!! I don't love doing ESL docs by any means, but if I want a job - I need to do what my employer asks of me. Take the good and bad - or find a new job! I applaud you for working with your MTs, but you really shouldn't have to! I have only been an MT for two years and I cannot imagine telling my boss that I am not willing to learn something. How rude!
Good for you. Good enough reasons for me, too!

Good for you. Good luck in whatever you do next. nm

apologize to the above poster. She needs us right now and you are just being plain, well, evil!
If there is something you want to talk about we are here for you too, although it seems you are so hard-faced that you don't need anyone, I bet - or you think you are just too good for "internet help..." Like we women (and few men) don't really have true feelings or families, or whatever you probably think of all of us...That's a shame. There are probably people here who can really help in your bitterness.
Very cruel, not necessary IMO. nm

Cruel?
I don't mean to be cruel, but do you have the skills for this job? Did you take the required courses in transcription? Are you aware coding pays better?

Again, not to be cruel, but spelling is very important, and you misspelled inept, which is a little ironic, because your post is all we have to go on as far as whether you are ready for the huge challenge of getting your own accounts. I've been doing this for 17 years, and I've never considered trying to manage my own accounts.

So this is my honest reaction to your post, and I'm hoping you find it polite, as I intend it to be.


why are some of you women so cruel?
There comes a point where we all kind of need each other, when we realize that for the most part, men are big dumb animals who do not know how to "be" there, which is what we essentially need.  You as a female should be understanding and supportive when another one says how she is struggling as a "single mom."  Women are so hateful towards each other when we're the only ones who make any sense on this planet!  I know I sound like a man hater, but men can only do so much, and for those things I have a plumber and a maintenance man!  Come on what happened to sisterhood!
it is not cool to be cruel, so why do you do it? nm

How can you people be so cruel and nasty?
She is obviously trying to do the best for her son, and at this point is trying to figure out what it is.  I'm sure she would discuss this option with the doctor or counselor before she made a decision.  Cruel and selfish, right.  Look in the mirror.
I don't think it is cruel to admit your remaining parent - sm
into a nursing home. Those that think its terrible are just concerned with appearances I think, that and guilt themselves if they ever thought about it. My mom put her mom in a nursing home after she could not care for herself. My grandma actually thrived there. They got her off all her medication and she was felt a lot better, even got engaged to get married again, but broke it off shortly before she died. We lived in PA and her mom in FL. My mom's (adopted) family thought she was such a terrible person for putting her "mom" in a nursing home. My mom's adopted parents did not treat her well at all, would never tell her much about the adoption when she eventually found out about it in the 1950s (smell of scandel somewhere, this was 1935) and my grandparents never really ever wanted children. Needless to say my mom has a less than ideal childhood but she took care and upheld her "responsibilities". Some people take in their parent(s) because they want to make sure the $$$ if there is any stays in the family (or goes to them). I know that is the wheel turning in my DHs brain about his parents, though he says they would never re-marry after the death of the other. His mom has told me she will not remarry, but you never know do you. I think he is wrong about his dad though, I think his dad would do the exact same thing my dad did, i.e. remarry within a year of the mom/wife passing and say bye-bye to any substantial inheritence on a re-marriage. In my case I will "lose" (my husband's thinking) out on about $140K which my husband deeply resents unfortunately. It has caused a lot of distention in the last 2 years between me and my DH that is. I am cool with my dad, it's his life and money; and I have pointed out to him a zillion times that inheritence is a gift, not a right. But yes, to be honest it is disappointing, but as my DH expects to get close to $1 mil from his parents I think we will survive (in a way I hope they disinherit him). Greed can cause all sorts of problems. Along with responsibility comes motive in some cases. I do not want to take in either of my DHs parents, but his fear/greed will induce him to have whichever one is left move in with us probably in the next 5-10 years (they are 76 and 71 right now). Sad.
Shock collars are cruel on animals.
You can teach dogs not to bark without using shock treatments.

Good for you!
Glad your puppy is okay. Keep that girl away!
Good for you!
There's a reason kids are cruel to animals and it is never the animals fault, but usually something in the environment of the kid.

I am so glad you had the camera running, but I sure wouldn't leave that pup outside alone when you are not around. He doesn't deserve to pay for the poor parenting that kid has to endure.

Dude, did you not see training day.... Even a step behind Denzel, who I love, Ethan Hawe is gorgeous in a scruffy, need a shave way.
many thanks! have a good one!

I know you are doing good for her....
my neighbor was to the point of crawling on the floor, could not even walk...she had three dogs and did not take them outside so you can may only imagine what the inside of her house looked like and smelled like!!!!  I talked to her for about a week and she said she wanted me to be her "power of attorney", etc., etc.  We never signed any papers.  One morning I went over there and found her passed out at the top of the stairs, totally unresponsive and then, while passed out started throwing up.  I turned her on her side and called 911.  They concurred with me that either she went to the hospital immediately or they would call the Sheriff and they would take her.  Yes she was really ticked off but, again, she now says I have saved her life but I told her I knew she could make it.  Sometimes all it takes is just another person to pull us up.  One more thing, I am not a busy-body.  I have never done anything even close to this in my entire old life; but this I had to do or watch her die.  The doctors agreed.  So do what your heart tells you to do, I know it will be right. 
LOL..what nothing good to say?

Good one, thanks! LOL

on a good day
I could do that in 3.5 hours.  I have seen ladies do 2400 lines in 7 hours.  And that was in the 1990s with the IBM 286 MQ sent us.
YES!! That's good...maybe it should be the

center of the town with all the streets radiating out from it and the avenues intersecting.  How about  English Second Language Avenue?  How does  "Penniless Lane" sound?  (A knock-off of the Beatles Penny Lane.)  


Oh, we also need shopping centers....let's say   Off-Shoring Shopping Mall   and each store front will be from one of the countries being allowed to take our work.  The "QA Bar and Grill  - Come on in and have a beer and burger while we think of other ways to cut your pay; you can't beat our prices".   


 Come on everyone, give us some more suggestions!!
