Thankfully I'm not thin-skinned.

My understanding was that she didn't want to search blindly for schools, and I think it's convenient how there are links right here to some of the best schools, because their websites give you an EXCELLENT idea of their courses. When anybody asks me about schools, that's all I give them, the web addresses, because I think they are self-explanatory. I have no idea if the OP ever noticed those links were there, and I doubt you knew (if he/she did), either!

Thankfully for me, this has not been my
decide if doing gargabe was worth more than finding a job I could make a decent wage at. 
Thankfully, yes
There are so many kids and stay-at-home moms that at any given time there could be up to 15 kids outside of all ages with at least a few adults who look after all the kids. It's definitely a family neighborhood here, everyone watches out for everyone. I'm also right by the front window so I'm constantly looking out and seeing what's going on. I pop out every once and a while to chat.
24 and very thankfully divorced before 30!

Thankfully in Georgia it's unlawful for a teenager to....sm
have anyone in the car with them other than an immediate relative for the first 6 months they have their license.   Other than that  there is no way I'd put my child into the car of basically a stranger since you don't know this boy well.  While all may be innocent at first you never know when it might turn otherwise. 
Yes, I do come first, thankfully. I have a good man with his priorities straight! sm
Marriage is a difficult road sometimes with many obstacles. We just have to have the patience and strength to get over them or move those obstacles out of the way. I think early in our marriage, I was not #1, as his mother had a very tight hold... but I am now and have been for about 10 years now. We were married for 18 years November 14th, and the first 7-8 years were very tough at times, but it is smooth sailing now!

We remind each other that before the kids, it was him and me and we take at least one night a week for each other to be together and romantic.

He does put be first above all and won't make plans without asking me if it interferes with our family plans or schedule. The best thing of all, every day before he goes to work he always kisses me on the cheek goodbye, even when I am half asleep. I open my one eye just to acknowledge him and go back to sleep! I just love that.
Thankfully we are no longer classified as just clerical.

"Medical transcriptionists have finally achieved a separate job classification. The revised Standard Occupational Classification (SOC), published by the Office of Management and Budget, includes a separate line item 31-9094 for medical transcriptionists in the general arena of health care. This is something AAMT has been promoting since its inception over 20 years ago. In the previous (1980) SOC document, medical transcriptionists were grouped with court reporters and stenographers under "Clerical and Other Administrative Support Occupations." This separate classification is truly noteworthy. Having an ID number, medical transcriptionists can now be studied like any other occupation. Statistics can be gathered on numbers of MTs, salaries, etc."  (from the AAMT website)


This is one of the good things AAMT has done for us and hopefully their continued work will elevate our profession further.  We are now an apprenticeable occupation also (and only DOMESTIC workers can be apprentices --heh heh!). 


Thankfully, self-employed so I don't have to deal with the likes of you.
What an arrogant bitchy know-it-all you think you are. You are laughable. I'm sooo beyond you. Later.
Are you thin??

Don't know about you but I'm pretty thin and can't even sit anywhere for any period of time unless it is well padded as I have no padding of my own.


I LOVE the older chairs, BEFORE OSHA; the kinds with just the four prongs from the base.  They just seem to fit better.  Of course most of them don't have much if any padding at all; I just get a pillow that feels good "underneath" and then replace the pillow as needed instead of the chair!!  Try one.  Mine is from the 1940's, solid oak with leather and wicker seat and solid brass hardware to raise and lower the chair as needed; swivels great.  What more could a person want???


True, but thankfully in my case, I have great dictators.

Yes - another thin one here - & it's miserable ! .
I have the usual, mid-priced, office chair from Office Depot with the thickest padding I could find within my price range. Felt okay for about a month then, like you, I had to sit on a pillow! My tailbone just felt like I was sitting on bare metal otherwise. Pillows are cheaper than chairs - so that, too, is what I do! I also added a lumbar support attached with Velcro, but normally when transcribing sit more foreword in my chair in order to reach my footpedal & don't get it's benefit (only when not working). I'm not only thin-I'm short in comparison to today's standards - I'm 5'1". What about you?
If you are so extremely thin and beautiful,
then why are you on this site. Are you a transcriptionist. If you are as beautiful and thin as you say you are, I doubt very seriously that you'd be typing for a living.
Just peel and slice the potatoes thin and
then deep fry them. Really simple. Season after with salt or Lawry's season salt. Yum!
I agree and should go to med school to thin the herd...
Thankfully, most of the residents I have transcribed for do an excellent job. Maybe the time will come for the lazy ones to retire!
Right on! Now change your sign on from "never going to be thin" to
something more positive, like "on my way to better health" or something
couldn't stand STAR as a thin woman...don't

I use golfers gloves..thin and keep my hands warm.

Is it possible that the stove was new and the thin layer of protective plastic was left on it?

I use regular thin winter gloves and cut the fingertips off. Works great! nm
:)
For arthritis/cold weather, I use cheap, thin, one-size-fits-all
grocery-store gloves, and just cut the fingertips out. Warm & comfy. And cheap.
I actually wear gloves, regular knit, but thin gloves.
I get so used to typing with them on, when I take them off I have a hard time adjusting again.
