small message. nm means no message
see?
thanks (small message)
just that I posted the link in the subject line and it was too long...no problem, though! thanks!
I don't know why your message font is so small but it's too

or no message, small message - whatever SM
any indication there is no need to waste time opening the post.

it is irritating also when people type through the subject line as well as the name line and then do not indicate if it is worth pursuing.




sm is see message not small message. I almost always
put NM or nt if there is no message, but quite a lot of people still open the posts as evidenced by the number of views.

Keeping small children at home will cost you more than paying a daycare ... see message
If you are really committed to working, then transcription can be beneficial. It is not a job where you can attend to your children at the same time you work, you either work or you attend to your children. You make choices.

I would recommend this career field - I make 50,000 a year working 6 hours a day. It is still good if you work it.
I don't think many churches out there..
Would go to the trouble of creating something for you as a welcome package just to tell you that you are going to burn in hell for not going to their church. It is just a welcome to the community and if they decide to go to church we are letting them know that we are here.
maybe give one of the churches a try, you might like it!

Did you see where they were asked to join churches?
How can they ignore a question like that? "Would you like to join our church?" Suppose they could just say no, which seems a little rude as to why not exactly. I can see her dilemma.
they have visited a couple of churches (sm)
They haven't found one yet that they think they will attend on a long-term basis.  I know that will help a lot once they get settled in a church.  That is actually a huge part of the problem.  She has attended the same church since she was born!  Same pastor and everything!  I don't think there is going to be a church that will live up to her expectations but I hope she finds one soon that has people her age age.  My parents just picked my son up (he's 13) and they are going to visit her a couple of days.  They're hoping it will not make it worse though.  Hopefully they can help watch the kids so they can get some things done around the house and make it seem more like home.  Thanks for the suggestions. 
Typically, what Baptist churches do
in our area is have some sort of function for the kids, particularly teenagers, to keep them out of all of the drinking and that style of partying and meanness, if you will, that goes along with Halloween.  They just don't call it a Halloween party.
small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.


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.
Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line.  It makes it easier when reading these messages.  thanks so much and have a nice day everyone.

If one's biz is small I do not think you can....nm

Yes, you should get a small
social worker, psychologist, or whatever. You just have to wade in and start swimming. If you find the right account, that should help you start out.
Huge, I think it's small on my end (NM)

Any small MTSO need PT help? sm
Okay, I have tried the big nationals and that did not work out for me.  I would like something for a few hours a day - would love to do family practice SOAP notes again or something where I can just type away and make some decent money.  I promise a fast turn-a-round and I am willing to work hard, but no complicated platforms and no set hours.  
Why not sue in small claims (sm)
You have a business contract with them. It's not a paycheck we are talking about. It's payment for services rendered. Are they going to send someone to your state to defend it? Probably not!
It's actually one of those small bldg. you
added to the house but it's on the same property as the house...I can't really describe what it looks like. I have only seen it a couple of times. Not sure if that would work. It doesn't have to be that. Just whatever would work. I am more interested in seeing what has worked for others. Just wondering. Thanks for your response.:)
my office is a small
table between the kitchen and the dining room. Books are in a closet right next to it. It helps so I can keep an eye on what my toddler is doing.
how did you get your print to be so small?


if you are for real, your best advice is read this board and take good notes.


 


Yes, small services (sm)

used to pay 11 cpl IC, have now sold out to squids who in turn pay 7-8 cpl.


And services left average 8 cpl, if you're really experienced you'll get 10 or 11 and get such bad dictation you'll get a headache you'll never forget. 


Small accounts
What kind of small accounts are you talking about? How do you find them? Thanks.

I know a couple of people who key as fast as you do, so it is possible.


small company
You just keep your eyes open all the time. Keep looking. You will find them. Opportunity comes knocking at the strangest time if you just keep looking.
A very very small family.

I had a small MTSO ask that once. sm
As I was heading toward the exit door, she asked me to send her every single one of the normals I used.

So, I sent her the exact ones she had sent me in the beginning, before I refined them to a fine tune, which had taken me hours and hours to do. I'm telling you, I had most tests for every doctor where I could just hop around and fill in the blanks. No way was I giving those hours of work away!
Thanks! The 16" look so small and the 20" so large! nm

small MTSOs

There's a great online resource for MTSOs of all sizes, varying benefits and pay, and variety of work.  It's called www.MTJobs.com.  Sign up to be on their mailing list.  There are usually at least 50 companies listed on each newsletter, which comes out twice a month.  Good luck in your search, and prayers for God's healing of your medical problems.  :)


should have said that this is for a small national not
an individual. We are trying to put some new things in place and want to make sure that we put the right things in place.
Small Nationals.
I guess just not the huge places like Medquist. I would like a little bit smaller. I am even interested in any companies that are great to work for and pay okay. I am not having that great of luck working for MTSO and getting paid good.
Thanks!!
Small ear pieces
Try Lanier Healthcare.  They have a headset that has ear pieces that fit right into your ear without any hard plastic to deal with, just wires and the foam that fits into your ears.  They are the best ones I have ever used. 
Believe me, you are neither weak or small.
You are a very strong lady who simply wants the best for her family (including an abusive husband). You are the only one who can make the choice to stay or leave and it has to be your choice entirely. We can all give advice all day long, but the ultimate decision will be yours. We are here to listen, though, and to pray in your behalf for wisdom to make the right choice. Whatever you decide, don't ever forget that when it seems like you're all alone, God is always with you, leading and guiding.  
As an IC, you are your own small business. As a

contractor you have NOT been in their emloyment.  You have worked as contract labor for them, whether it be 1 month, 1 year or 5 years.  They owe you absolutely nothing at any point in time of the contract.  However, should you contact their clients (as you mentioned below), there can be legal repercussions for you so I would seriously think twice about this before going forward.


As an IC, it seems you would know that you should not put all of your eggs in one basket. I would bet that most of us that are IC's work for at least 2 companies.  For the ones that don't, they probably work for 1 company and have their own accounts, OR better yet have all their own accounts.


TAT is of the utmost importance.  It only takes twice with me and I won't send anymore work to that particular IC anymore, which is my option.  I might give them a second chance IF their work was top notch.


I have 2 - one large, one small
My first was a very nice rose in the upper-inner quadrant of my left breast. I thought about it for 17 years before I did it. It kind of felt like going to the GYN when I had it do. The guy was very professional and let me catch my breath from time to time. The more fill-in work, the more painful. The more it is just an outline, the less painful.

The other is something private but special to me to honor my kids on my lower back, but above the bikini line. That was much more painful but different guy and it went much faster as I cussed a lot more with fewer breaks.

If I ever get another one it will be a circle on top of the sternum with the leters DNR inside!

I have a small flower

a daisy, my favorite flower, in my bikini area where just about any bathing suit would cover it up.  I got it when ankle tatoos were really trendy and knew I A. did not want to have the same thing as everyone else, and B. might not want to show my tattoo to everyone, so I got it somewhere private. 


It made for good conversation in the delivery room lol!


I was thinking of getting another one, but would like a spot that covers up and is not that common. The big toe sounds like a neat idea. I hate toe rings for the discomfort, but like the look. 


Have you ever seen that SNL fake commercial on the tramp stamps (lower back tattoos) and the "roll on" to remove them?  LOL.  I thought briefly about getting one but they are too common. 


BTW the bikini area tatoo basically felt like if someone was taking tweezers and plucking hairs one by one. It was not that bad. It was actually harder dealing with it during the healing period because I had to wear clothes over the site.


Could not do without it. Small learning sm
curve, but worth it.

Just my small opinion...
I think being a wonderful dad is more than just an admirable trait in any man - BUT the kids will grow up one day and if he forgets to nurture your needs, what will the two of you do when they are gone? Sit on the porch swing and stare at each other because you have no common interests?? You have to spend time alone together nurturing one another. Find a common thing the two of you can do together.

If it is as nonstop as you say, then he has to try and cut some things out. It seems a bit out of hand! You are going to have to lay it on the line for him - in depth! Don't just sound whiny either. Tell you need some hubby/wife time every day; even if it is just to curl up on the couch together alone after the kids go to bed and watch late night TV or whatever. You have to keep the love alive - every day.
Thanks, Small MTSO
I knew it must be something like that.  Thanks for your reply.  Molly
What a small world!
My granny turned me on to them too!  And I, like you, used to be run out of the kitchen by them but being the good  Southern girl I am, I learned to love them!  So does everyone in my immediate family except 8 of my kids.  They can't stand them, but my 13 sisters and 9 brothers all thought it was a great day when mama would make them for dinner!  Yee haw!!!
small kids and the MT sm
yes - it can be done but just as the others have said, you're right to be considering going to part time.
When my youngest, now 2, was brand new I, too, used a pillow and a bolster-type pillow to nurse while I typed. That, however, was when she was teeny-iney and was feeding every hour or two.
As well, I worked part time and really needed to have my work done by 8 AM.
Good luck to you and enjoy the new baby when he/she comes. You'll do just fine.. ;-)
Small Business
According to what I read on the internet regarding corps, yes you can and you can be the only employee under I believe the S-corporation.  There are C-corps, S-corps, partnerships, proprietorships and LLCs.  That is the way I read the info.  Reading all info gives me a headache, members, stocks, annual meetings, and so on.   Yuck!  Really do not know if it is worth it.  If you go to MTT Jobs, I have noticed that many, many companies are now requesting employee status.  At first I thought it was so they could have control over you, now second guessing. They may not have a choice in the matter.
Small MTSO
11.5  to 12.5 cpl, put in 30 to 32 hours per week myself now.  Went down to part-time this summer to 22 to 24 hours.  First time in 18 years and felt good.  Just got two new accounts and so back up but will myself after paying IC's make 50K, down from last year but worked less.  Next year will be up to 55K+ unless I go part-time again in the summer if my IC's want to make more.  Will probably raise rates in January as have not done so in two years.    Patti
