Sweet Home Chicago!
Used to live there in my 20's, loved it.
Yes, I've tried it. It's very sweet, almost too sweet. sm
And it does cost a little more, but I should really use that for my coffee. Thanks for reminding me!

I'm in Alabama! nm

Thanks so much for your help here.  We're retired,  my husband is a retired truck driver and THANK GOD we have the ability to help others in need.   If we can just find out who, what, when and where, we're prepared to rent a truck, do a drive here locally and bring the stuff but we've made phone call on top of phone call and no one seems to know how we can help except to donate to the Red Cross but we want specifically to help the forgotten people.
$15.00 an hour for MT in Alabama
I work prn for a hospital in Alabama.  I make $15.00 an hour.  This is with no benefits and no insurance.  When I worked full-time for them, I made $12.00 an hour and had benefits and insurance.

I think so (Alabama doc with accent!)
I have to admit I'm flipping here a bit.  My son took my headphones to school somehow and I'm having to do this without headphones!  Thank you so much!
Katrina in Mississippi/Alabama

Does anyone know of contacts in Mississippi/Alabama that are needing help for their people who have lost everything?  We chose to donate cash to the Salvation Army.  By the time I got around to cleaning out my closets, neither the SA or ARC were taking clothing donations and I'm one of those people who is very bad about buying things and then never wearing them so much of the stuff has tags still attached, not exactly junk.  Now that it's gathered up, I'll just donate it to our local Helping Hands but would like do whatever we can do to help the people of Miss/AL in particular.   It seems they are the "forgotten refugees."  At least in our area, we see very little about them but did see a news clip last night that looked like they were as devastated as NO, if not more so.  Surely they need help too?  TIA for any info.


RE: Katrina in Mississippi/Alabama
We had the same problem. All kinds of good stuff and no one had room left for donations of clothing, etc. Our community came up with the idea of a gigantic garage sale and donate the proceeds to the Red Cross. So that is exactly what is happening next weekend. Sorry if this is a double post, my cat ran over my keyboard. He feels so good every morning!!
Alabama here - Huntsville area

I'm also from Alabama, in the Huntsville area.  If you're an IC in this area, you're lucky to get .12 per line.  Huntsville is supposed to be so high tech with all the NASA, Boeing and Marshall Space Flight Center stuff; unfortunately, the doctors in the area still have the 1975 price mentality! 


I know there is a large transcription service in your area that handles some physicians in this area and they're only charging .12 per line, so it may be a bit much for B'ham.  If you would like to know who I'm referring to, please e-mail me at tow46@aol.com and note this in the subject so I won't delete it.


North Alabama Transcriptionists
Are there any hospitals based in North Alabama who use at-home Radiology Transcriptionists?
Huntsville, Alabama Hospital

Does anyone have any experiences to share about Huntsville Hospital in north Alabama?  I put in an application thinking it was only sports medicine (I have PT experience mostly), but their Medical Secretaries probably transcribe for the full range of hospital services. I'm supposed to get in touch with them tomorrow to talk.


TIA!

Back off Alabama, Jack!
them-thar' fags????

You know...I came on here to rip you up but I think you did that to yourself...I just would like other people to know that at least ONE person in Alabama isn't emotionally/mentally/morally challenged as this poster.

And if you have a problem with that, I'll let Carlos Mencia do the talking for me! Du-du-doh!!!!
Any North Alabama Transcriptionists?
I posted on the state board, but I don't think many people go to that board.  I was just wondering if there any home-based transcriptionists near me.  Thank you for your time.

I am in Limestone County.
You can still get grape Nehi in Alabama. sm
I love the peach Nehi too. You can make some really good ice cream using what ever flavor Nehi you want and two cans of Eagle Brand.
Moving from Alabama to Sacramento, CA
Getting married in December.  Fiance' has been there for a year now.  How is the transcription job market in California.  I have a work-at-home job, but thinking maybe I can get something local.  Compared to Alabama, the cost of living is extremely high though.  How is the climate there, any and all info appreciated.

Hi,


I was just wondering if anyone had any good/bad info on this company. I can't seem to find much information on them. Thanks.

No, everyone in Auburn, Alabama does not live in trailers.
A lot of the students attend Auburn University.
The state (Alabama) penalized me this year.
I was told they do not the first year, but after that they do. It was like $50, and I will have to pay it again this year since it was June when I was hit with it, but I am seriously thinking of paying estimated tax starting next year.
Here in Cherokee County Alabama August 8 is first student day.
My DH works at the local school and he has been getting ready.
Anyone have a good source for Alabama doctors, where you can find them by just last name or a few le
nt
well now there's a trend. doesn' t everyone in auburn, alabama live in a trailer?
what college do the trailer park students attend?
Look, if you knew me you wouldn't have said those things. I live in Alabama! We hate sm
them-thar' fags. Honestly, I am probably the MOST unprejudiced (if that's a word) person in my entire family! I'm constantly rolling my eyes at THEM because they use inappropriate names to refer to people and I don't like it.

I am a conservative who doesn't believe in same-sex marriages! I am totally against it.

What I am saying is this: This lady is NOT making this stuff up. It happens. We may not like it, but it happens. and here's the real kicker: We need to love these so called "degenerates." We really do. Like the Beatle's song goes: All you need is love...

Love can make them turn around. Really!
In North Alabama, school starts back August 4th. We get out the end of May.
:O)
Now that's sweet!
You're raising a good bunch of kids!  As an Air Force mother, I say thank you for thinking of our boys!!  Tell your girls how much it means to us. 
That was so sweet of you. Again, I am so sorry
for all this pain, and so sorry for your sons. Absolutely horrifying experience, and absolutely no other way to word it.  But, time does help. I know that's so corny, but it does. I understand crushing pain. I have 2 way older siblings. My Mom had me after she thought she had menopause - a late in life baby? Well, my siblings were so jealous of me since my conception, I guess. Long story short, it was like we were 2 separate families, but I was the one who stayed close by and took care of my parents when they were elderly. One day my mom had a stroke and was taken to the hospital. Did my Dad call me? No. First time in his life he went to the older 2. They had planned this, or plotted it, and told my Dad NOT to call me. No reason, just don't. He is very old and feeble in his 90s, so he obeyed them. Long story short, my mom died a hideous death - her primary said she would have recovered probably back to 80%, but my siblings wanted her dead. They refused all supportive care and they shipped her to a nursing home. MY FRIENDS worked at the hospital, and I'm surprised I didn't transcribe her report, as its my account, too. But nobody could call me do to HIPPA. In the meanwhile, when I spoke to my Dad, he just acted like my mom was resting and all was fine. My sister gladly called me, all giggling, when my mom was dead and even CREMATED. Not my mom's wishes. She never had a funeral even, no obituary. And she was a nice mom. Did not deserve that. At least she had a plot, and some stranger with a shovel buried her sometime in the winter -  3 months after her death. Wow! All this to say, I know pain and shock as well, and time does heal. I was in a shock-like state for about a year, and then it started to clear. Now its been 5 years, and I can talk about it. So, talk, talk, talk. Its good to talk about it. And, yes, my husband and I have had very dear friends and relatives take their own lives. Over 20 years ago now, and its still sad, but not as painful. One thing for sure - I will always be thinking about you guys, and wishing you well.
How sweet!!
When we got "Lolli," our Pomeranian, she weighed a mere 1.25 pounds. Just a black puff of fir and the sweetest little thing. The vet told us to feed her Gerber baby food, which we did. I used to love to get her all the beef, chicken, and veal dishes, with the little chicken sticks and blueberry buckle for dessert! Boy did that little girl like to chow down!

But chicuhas's (sp) are my FAVORITE little dog. I used to have a precious female short-haired teacup whom I named Consuela Conchita D'Alfina. What a baby!
wow, that is sweet! (nm)

Sweet!

KS and TM, you are both very sweet.....

I was actually so upset by the posters below that I broke out in hives!!!  Can you imagine??? 


I have been struggling to switch to Word from DQS and Word Perfect.  I have been reading Windows for Dummies.  I have been searching through the Word Help Index, etc., etc.  I have been struggling to make some kind of line count that adds up to over $7 an hour during this "learning" process.  I thought for sure I could post a quick question and get a short and quick answer to help me along but I guess not.  The last thing I needed today was someone trying to teach me to fish or trying to teach me how to do proper research.  I KNOW how to research, it was not working for me fast enough, and I just needed a quick short cut.


I do believe * what comes around..... * and I believe you two will get good things in short order. 


BTW, the short, to the point instructions JAM emailed me - i have been using over and over this evening and have been saved SO MUCH time  and aggravation, as opposed to Ctl-Delete for every word I want removed!   Blessings on her/him also.


See URL. This is sweet.

I have a lady doc who always ends with "have a blessed day."  I think it's nice.
Sweet!
I've been holding off getting one until I had confirmation that one actually worked! :-)

Wow, that's so sweet of you!
I wish I could apply for unemployment but independent contractors don't qualify. My status was IC for the past four years. Hope you find something soon, too! I did wind up going back to school to become a teacher, but I still need a steady income until I graduate in a year. Something will kick loose soon.
yes she is sweet, isn't she?
change of pace from the arguments
Thank you, how sweet!
It is now 9:15 and system still down.    I hope it's not going to be much longer . . . . . .
I saw a very sweet documentary....
the other night about chickens. One of the segments was about a man who had installed about 250 roosters on his property, presumably for cock fighting. Anyway the racket the roosters made all throughout the day was deafening and driving his neighbors (none too close, as this was a rural area in Ohio I think). Finally all the residents of this area took the guy to court and got a court order for him to remove the roosters. Maybe a lawsuit is the way to get rid of the yapping dog problem!
awww!! How sweet! (sm)
I only wish I would write half as eloquent a post praising good QA personnel.

I work on a platform now where I can easily and quickly go back and listen to my blanks after completing the report just to see if they are any more clear. It's incredible what I can actually fill in on some of the more difficult dictators when I'm at the end and the voice characteristics are more familiar. However, before this platform, who knows what kind of blanks I left!!

I'm sure QA likes me more now LOL.

You are very kind to take the time to post this. We all appreciate it!

If it makes you feel any better, I'm starting a long night/morning shift in ESL-land! ;-)

Thank you again!
That was really sweet, Wannie.

Kids are sweet!

Three of my grandkids were here to spend a week with us.  They are ages 9, 6, and 4.  I had forgotten how earnest they are at that age, how sweet & sincere.  They argued over who got to help me open the gate to our driveway when we went out (we live in the boonies).  We ended up taking turns.


A conversation with the 6 y/o:  "Grandma? This is funny, right? You know James? In my class? He brought Cheetos and I brought Fritos.  Get it? Cheetos & Fritos? That's funny, right?"


I am trying to enjoy them as much as I can before they get to that teenage, who-wants-to-go-to-grandma's phase. 


Awww..thanks. That's sweet.
I already got hugs a plenty from my hubby. I don't go that way, but thanks for the sentiment. :::smooches:::
