I want to thank all of you for the help. I did get through the testing, so keep your fingers crossed.
I found a website, but wasn't sure if I would be permitted to post it. However, if you will just Google AAMT Book of Style free download, several sites will come up. It's the BOS second edition. These are shareware sites so just use caution. HTH!

Here's a link to free FTP downloads

More than 2 downloads?
I love them too, but have you had a problem with loading them on more than 2 computers. I loaded mine on my desktop and my laptop and now am wanting to upgrade my desktop and afraid that I cannot use them again, as I thought they were only good for 2 downloads? Any advice?

Someone on here mentioned a download for opening up WP5 documents in the latest Word program(s). I have some old college courses which I want to review and the work was all in WP5.1 on diskettes and my Word programs will not open them, they appear in gibberish. I have tried searching on the Microsoft website but no luck. TIA
There are a couple of downloads to put on
regardless of the operating system you run. I did this because a "boyfriend" let his brother "borry" mine when I wasn't home and he put a lot of porn and spy ware on my work computer.
I ended up having to reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything. According to HIPPA, you are to safe guard the medical records on your computer and you are supposed to have a contract stating your methods to protect your compliance.
Music downloads
I have a music site with Burnlounge
http://burnlounge.com/mlbliss
and they are a legal dowload site :)
Music downloads
I have an online musicstore with Burnlounge at http://burnlounge.com/mlbliss and they are LEGAL to download from.
I would be very careful dowloading free music--they are fining people for this. If you aren't paying for it--then consider it illegal 
Core is software to upload and downloads. It's not a hosting site.

Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
Thanks to all who replied..
Thanks for your advice. I know I just need to search and search some more but sometimes I get soooo very down about the whole thing.. and to think that I left an MT position at a hospital near my home four years ago that I enjoyed but wanted/needed to go home to work.. Thing is.. about a year down the road, all their MTs went home to work for them--all making nice cash per line and benefits.. all local doctors.. waaahhhh.. I seem to make THE WORST choices..
 Guess I'll keep looking.. thanks again. 
Thank you to all of you who replied!!
I really appreciate all of you for taking the time to respond... Being new to the business, I was wondering if I was just going crazy to be a little hurt by my boss' behavior.
Thanks again, everyone!
I had already replied about this down below
I hadn't looked at the book very well...just got it today and I've been having a bad day. My son is sick and things have been rough around here. Thanks though...I got it figured out!
Thank you to everyone that replied!
I'm sure that he is going to be just fine. You know how it is when you get a dog, they feel like a child to you. I just worry a little, but he really is doing great. I can tell that he is happy. The first couple of days he was very lethargic and you could just tell by looking in his eyes that he didn't feel well. Now he has more energy and his eyes are brighter. His coat is shinier and feels soft compared to the *greasy* feeling it had before. He is great with my son, and has already become a part of this family after such a short time. I feel very lucky to have found such a great dog! Thanks to all of you for your kind words and advice. I'll let you know how Buster is doing after our next visit to the Vet next week.
THANK YOU to those that replied. sm
It seems that I need to have a serious discussion with my boyfriend. I agree that if the children don't want to eat what we are eating then they can fix something for themselves. I don't mind purchasing alternate food items every now and then for them, but that can become expensive. I also feel that it teaches them that they can have whatever they want whenever they want no matter what. I was raised that you didn't get your own "special" meal just because you didn't like what was being made for dinner.
Even though they are not my children, it is partly my money that is going into their picky little gullets. I feel that I should be able to enjoy a meal instead of feeling sick to my stomach from eating the same old things all the time. My boyfriend has different feelings about the matter. He feels guilty if he doesn't do what they want. It's really kind of scary sometimes how he babies them. Like I said before, his daughter is 18 years old and is AFRAID to use the oven. I can understand wanting your children to have the best and to be happy...and I can also understand how we, sometimes, as single parents can feel very guilty about things, but there comes a point when enough is enough!
I thank goodness sometimes that we don't live together yet. They live next door. It's actually very nice this way for now. I do love his children very much and I love him so very much, but there comes a time when children need to grow up a little and get out of that stage that everything is about them. I raised my son in a very different manner. Yes, he is spoiled, but not in such a way that he thinks the whole world revolves around him and everyone else is just supposed to fall in line.
I should say that they are great kids and are not snotty or rude. They make excellent grades in school and they treat me like gold. I don't want to sound like they are monsters. I think that I will sit down with him and tell him how I feel about this, and tell him that if we can't make some kind of compromise about dinners my son and I will be eating at home from now on and will come over after dinner. I am not going to keep contributing to the grocery bill for dinners if I can't have what I want to eat from time to time. I'm hoping he will agree.
thanks to those who replied
your answers helped me and confirmed what I had already been feeling. It's been a very, very difficult situation and you are right about his kids not having enough discipline. Thanks again.

There was another post that I replied to and it

You might be in for a surprise considering he replied..

You replied to mine below.
I didn't post this one, so it must be someone else.
That was a joke, because nobody replied for a while.
The site can be addicting, but of course you can run it in the background. If you have the foghorn on you can hear when a bottle comes in. :o}
At least they replied to your email ...
They never even acknowledged receipt of my resume with over 20 years of experience in acute care.
But you replied to MY post
and called me a doubting Thomas because I doubted it could be done on 1 income. Now you're going to act confused?
To person who replied about TRXinc OR.
You stated that the "owner is a lunatic". I recall I left it to your discretion to elaborate on that, but YOU DIDN'T. Okay, I admit, I'm freaking out a tad. Please at least privately e-mail me. 
I replied back with the address to the
fraud department of my local police department.
Is the post you replied to directly above this one?
If not, the one you replied to may have been deleted. They can't control that. They delete one part and everything in response to it automatically goes with it. They can't leave responses hanging there when the one it was tacked onto was deleted.

I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.
Free? As in, free trial? Otherwise, I don't think you'll find a spellcheck software that's

Check out the free demo of MTStars FlashType. It's free for 7 days.

Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..
Does anyone use both. I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both. I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know.
I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions. I can handle that.
Boss sent me a nasty email, I replied and proved she was wrong, and yet no apology. sm
This is not the first time -- she's the first to blast you if she thinks you didn't make your line count, work when you should, etc., but if she makes a mistake, she NEVER says "I'm sorry," or "I was wrong" ... nada! Most of the time, I just blow it off. The pay is great, the accounts good, and sufficient work, but other times, I wonder if it is worth it. I suppose in today's job market, I should just be glad to be employed ... maybe I'm just greedy in also wanting to be treated with professionalism, respect, and courtesy.
Not sure if I even have a point -- guess I just needed to vent a bit. Thanks for "listening."

I replied this morning and was deleted. I asked if you're spending a lot of extra time on the ex
work. If so, I see no reason why you can't charge her by the hour for what you do. It could me maybe $100 a week insted of every 2. I do think that is a rip-off and you're being taken for your generosity.
The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

Tessier, Dorland's dictionary, BOS, and my very fave I think is now out of print but called Spellright by Rice.
yes it is free....mine was free....why the exclamation?

There are free ones out there. I have been using a free one for 5 years. sm
Just have to research FTP server software.
free? We are not *free* - what planet R U on?
Free? Liberal? You know nothing about me......I'm a 4th generation American so don't get up in my face......
We have a bad bad reputation today....and we do NOT HAVE 60 ALLIES/COUNTRIES BACKING US UP IN IRAQ....you better open up your eyes to the REAL stats. Perhaps in 2003 we had 60 allies/countries backing us up....NAME 60 today. I can name maybe 10 countries.......
You are terribly off-base.........even the soldiers have spoken up stating *unfortunately, this has become OUR vietnam* -
here's where you might think of beginning...iraqi veterans against the war......not a liberal website by any stretch of the imagination..

That would be a lab value, so I'd use a lab book. sm
I realize you're doing practice tapes so you're not going to have all the reference books. I personally rely on the internet as little as possible because there's a lot of false info out there....just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's true! It's really impossible to do this job without your own set of reference books....MANY of them. For what you're doing today there is no one site that will answer all of your word questions.
book
Some of the websites are good, but the Stedman's book is the best.
Got that book
that's a big scam too. Don't waste your time or money.If you really want to see it, email me and I would be glad to share it. Sorry about the extra money thing...I have no ideas either but i would be interested in finding out more myself if anyones knows!
M-TEC is #1 in my book, followed by . . .
Andrews. Both programs are comprehensive, and many companies wave the standard 2-year experience requirement for grads of these schools.
That IS the book!!! Thank you!
Too late though, I ordered the other one just in case too. LOL! Oooh I'm so excited! That book ROCKS!
Believe it or not, the book says (sm)
do not use Windex, but I doubt that made "chips". I bet what you are seeing are raised marks, not indented, if you know what I mean. Use the glass top cleaner, and book says a razor blade - yes, a razor blade. I use a sharp, straight little paring knife while the cleaner is on, and the stuff comes off. Good luck.
NEW MT - book for
I would have to say that anything for the new MT would be outdated before it ever goes to print. I think that "new MTs" are a thing of the past. With VR and editing, as well as outsourcing - this business is not anything like it was 18 years ago - or even 10 years ago - and I don't know that a book would be helpful to someone wanting to get into this business, because every year there are fewer MTs going to work - I believe that our days are numbered and could encourage anyone looking into MT to look into coding or some other aspect of hospital work - if they are dead set on working in the everychanging medical field. The days of the Prima Donna MT are gone forever.
MT book sm
I hate to agree but I must. The profession has changed greatly. I had a wonderful experience as an MT starting out and then as my own professional business in a business office. I was on the speaker's bureau for a community college. I told them I no longer wanted to encourage people to spend 2 years of their life getting a degree to do this work. Times have changed. Everyone is supposed to have a book in them though, so I hope you do well. I have thought of it myself many times, but now it would be more of a warning to probably stay away. Hate to be negative but things are changing and not necessarily for the better!
Log book
I am not required either to keep one but I am very thankful I do. I have had doctors looking for a job and I can refer to it on the date of service and tell him whether or not he dictated on that patient. Plus I keep track of my money to see if my pacheck matches the payroll. 
Name of Book
Is there a particular book by Stedmans for just "physical therapy?" Also, how do you like typing Physical Therapy?
