TAYLOR all the way now for the WIN. He's the TOTAL package.

Spunk, energy, personality, showmanship, and voice. He's got it all going for him.

Kat should never have gotten this far. She's not singing well and had a bad week. There are songs that she can sing, she's just not well-rounded to do any kind of music.

Lots of people will buy Elliott's CD. He's got a great voice.

I wish they'd publish the vote counts. I can't believe that Chris got the boot! Just shows you how sick this can all get. We'll all be angry if Kat goes on to win. Probably more of the sick "vote for the worst" revenge.

In total agreement, Chris and ManDIVA rule, Taylor

Is this what the package says?
I didn't get mine yet. They will be "monitoring" us?


No they only do that if you buy the package - sm
that offers that. I get the "upgrade" every other year as I posted below and I get no other "updates" throughout the year. If you buy the top package then Stedmans does do that, but I don't. I can usually get the upgrade for $40-$50 if I wait for the sale offer they usually do. That is good enough for me.
Hun, the "platform" is the package sm

you type in.  Dictaphone EXText is a platform, Chartscript is a platform, Careflow is a platform.....all of these PLATFORMS use Word as their word processor.


Word itself is NOT a platform.  The person who answered Dictaphone EXText is correct.


 


I buy it and use it and it is all caps on the package. nm

ATT/SBC has an unlimited package. sm
We use it on 10 lines in our office. It runs $54.99 (or something close to that) every month. It is called Total Solutions or Complete Solutions. You have to ask as they do not offer it unless you ask.
He already knows I'm part of the package! nm

Transcend sent out a package...sm
with all sorts of goodies in it.
Care package ideas

I've been doing care packages for deployed military now for a little over a year. There are great sites where you can get a TON of ideas and can even find folks to support if you don't know someone personally. My favorite is:


www.anysoldier.com


This organization has done a lot and you can search on their site for folks from your states or from a specific branch of the military. In addition to doing many of these myself, our company adopted a unit from our state this last year and it's been great to see so many participating.


MQ letter/comprehensive benefit package
 I really did not make much of it.  It would be GREAT,especially if they can offer something for the part timers, but I'm not holding my breath to hear the news.  It's been promised/talked about for forever, sure would be nice to finally hear.
The MT software I use has an accounting package for my docs - SM

My docs can search on the software  I use by entering date parameters to see how much their transcription costs are.  They can break their transcription costs down by date, by dictator, by type of report, by report, etc. 


The first of each month, I e-mail them my invoice; they merely check the accounting package of their software to see if the figures tally up. 


This really takes the mystery out of billing for my docs.


The basic Stedman's package is great and they you

I have an Open Office package that came free
It's legit.  I bought a refurbished hard drive so that I could run XP as opposed to buying a new computer, and Open Office came loaded.  I just don't think it's Microsoft.  I don't use it because I use Microsoft Office 2003, but Open Office works very similar to Word and Excel by Microsoft.
I get Sirrus/XM included through my digital TV package,
So I just play it through the home theater system. It rocks
What did you make of the comprehensive benefit package they talked about

URGENT REQUEST: An MT that we sent a box of gifts to did not receive the package.

It was delivered to their porch according to UPS but she did not get it.  It contained gifts for her children.  Because we did not put insurance on the package, UPS will do nothing to assist.  The box alone to ship had cost $45.00 and insurance would have cost another $25.00.  It is a sad story, but what it boils down to is that the kids won't have a Christmas.  All monies in the Santa's House for Christmas Angels fund have been dispersed through the Christmas Angel program.


So, I am here to ask for help.  I would like to raise $150 to $200 today if at all possible and for anyone who donates $10.00 or more to this special cause, I will give a software package that contains a word Expander and spellchecker that is worth over $100.00 for your trouble.  Donations can be made to sales@mtstars.com via Paypal.


Again, thank you for your consideration.


 


care package for military in iraq ideas?? sm

i have a very close friend who is in iraq and i went to send something but no idea what?  he ideas or someone know anyone in military and what they like to receive or need?  FYI, they are on a ship.  TYIA!


I should point out that the benefits package with the pathology group... SM

is significantly better than what I've got right now.  They are offering a matching 401K, profit sharing, flexible spending account, healthcare benefits and dental for me and my kids for about 150 per month versus 400 per month where I work now.


Then there is the issue of job security.  I'm a realist and I know that in this business of medical transcription, my job could be gone tomorrow due to lost accounts, low work volume, or offshoring.  Not to mention, the powers that be at my company could decide that it would be more cost effective to pay their editors per line versus hourly (which has happened to me before) and only offer 4 cpl because after all "we don't actually type all that much." 


Maybe I'm paranoid, but I've lost jobs due to all those things I listed.  It's upsetting the thought of losing another job.  So that is one of my major considerations with this job offer.  I'm sure they could offer me a measure of job security because they are a locally owned practice by the physician and all of the the transcriptionists there have been with the practice for more than five years.  This position I'm being offered was created because they have increased their work load.


I just don't know.  Geez, I hate making big decisions!


Have you tried the Custom Biz Saver package Snow Bunny? sm
It's through AT&T and it's a business plan. C-phones were supported. I used it for a Lanier when I was IC and I was on it a lot, sometimes 10 hours a day. I had unlimited long distance and never had the problems you are having. Problem is you need to sign a contract for 1 year but even with that it was only $10.00 a month more than a residential line.
when you marry a man with children, they are part of the package. You learn to deal with it.

Mouse included in the package lit up right after battery insertion. No on lights
come on when the batteries are inserted and power button doesn't do a thing. Power isn't being transmitted to keyboard for some reason.
where I live, bundle package for HSI/CABLE/PHONE is $99 a month. nm

Regarding Taylor... Is it just me or....

has he gone from a rather sloppy looking spazz to looking pretty sexy?  Okay, maybe it's because he seems a little older than the rest because of the gray hair (he's 16 years my junion), but he's kinda HOT these days!  Last night when he was danced I was thinking........ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  


Can't wait to see him do Elvis next week. 


Go Taylor! nm
nm
Taylor-Taylor-Taylor

I hope it's Taylor...I'm anxious to see if anything goes on tonight about last week's shocker when Chris got kicked off...lots of stuff on the 'Net about voting being wrong, etc...have to wait and see.


 GO TAYLOR!!!


 


NO, YA NUT - Taylor isn't on anything....nm

Taylor will win. sm
Last week, all of Birmingham greated Taylor back home, and Kat only filled half a gym.  Taylor has never been in the bottom 3 and Kat has.  They are both going to be very rich, but Taylor will win.
Taylor
I loved Taylor tonight. I really liked the last song he sang. I just got done having an argument with my husband who thinks that Katharine will win and should win and that if Taylor wins he won't sell any records. He just doesn't get it. My daughter and I have been trying to vote for Taylor since the show ended, but can't get through.
taylor fan
Yes, Taylor, you make me PROUD!  He was so cute tonight!
I hope it's not Taylor!
He just had a bad week. Please spare Taylor :) My prediction is that it's Ace.
You are right--TAYLOR is HOTTTTT!
He gets hotter by the week! Yowza!!!! I know he's not married and haven't heard anything about a GF. Somebody better snatch him up, and quick! He's about 6 years younger than me--I can live with that!
Go TAYLOR!!!!!.....AI wants a male to win!! n/m

Taylor or Elliott
I'm rooting for Taylor or Elliott now that Chris is gone. I really don't want Katherine to win, but I have the feeling she will. Supposedly people are saying she's more "marketable"
My vote goes for Taylor
I must admit the first few weeks watching him was soooo annoying, but he has grown on me and I actually enjoy watching and listening to him sing and perform. He's good and I think he deserves to win! However, I must say I was confident that Chris would win, but unfortunately not. Therefore, my vote is for Taylor!!!!

GO TAYLOR, GO!
Agree Taylor!
I think Taylor will win it all. And I agree with what the poster said about Katharine. There is just something about her. When the judges say something bad she always has this look like, well that's what you think, but you're crazy.
According to Diaidol.com, Elliott is at the bottom, but it's very close. They're been right three weeks in a row.
I really like Elliott the best but I think Taylor
will win. I just think it's a shame if Kat is in the final two. I think Elliott completely deserves to be at LEAST 2nd. I think he will do well regardless and hope he gets a record deal out of this at least. He's different, Taylor is different, but nothing about Kat is anything but ordinary. Of course Chris was different too. I thought it would be cool to be down to the three guys. I think they're all unique, they all have completely different styles, and that's great. I think they ARE American Idols. They each highlight a different kind of music that Americans love. I really hope that Elliott stays tonight!
No worries, Taylor has it in the bag!!!!!! :-)
No doubt!
Taylor's family
Someone told me the woman with Taylor's dad is his stepmom.  Has his mom ever been on the show?
Taylor's LAST song did it for me!!!...sm

TAYLOR HICKS IS GOING TO BE THE AMERICAN IDOL......he's just more genuine!!!  Kat is good but whoever posted about Tori Spelling......I don't think Tori is THAT well liked......by the general public...so I don't know how that other poster thinks Tori can pull strings for Kat....


taylor hicks
It seemed strange not to be able to watch AI this week.  Just saw Taylor on the Today show-I love him!!!!  By the way, does anyone know about the black bracelet that he wears on his left wrist?  I noticed it when he was on AI and he still had it on today.  
As Paula would say, Taylor is infectious!!
nm
Elliot and Taylor, oh and what about Chris?
They are all great! It is for sure a man this year!
They do need to learn some dance moves though!
lol
I predict that Taylor and Mandisa ....sm
will be the 2 finalists in the end. I can't stand Kelly - she's too flirty and gets on my nerves. I did laugh at Simon's comments about Bucky having the Jessica Simpson hairstyle!
Nawwww, Taylor reminds some of us

I do like Elliot...but I Love Taylor..
nm
Taylor looks constipated when he stands still
..
Hope to see Taylor go. Can't stand him.

DialIdol says Taylor got more votes than anyone. (nt)

I think that only he and Taylor will sell their records....sm
I can't envision ever buying anything that Katherine or Elliott recorded.

Katherine should have gone home last night.
Taylor - Dancing in the Dark
first Springsteen song ever done on AI...first time approval has been given
