Pizza or grilled cheese...church tonight for me.

How about grilled fish like salmon? Add a glass of wine and you're all set!

Quick and easy.
I e-mailed my letter. Already written, just sign at the bottom and send. It said 109 Ohioans had sent the letter. Everyone needs to take a minute to do this!
Homemade meatball subs (quick and easy).

Now that I can use the oven again without heating up the house.  I had a sweater on until noon today.  And socks!  Nice relief from 90's and sticky humidity.


I love doing meatball subs, because everyone just helps themselves.  Sometimes required when you're behind deadline. :)   I just buy ready made meatballs, dump them in a baking pan, pour 2 jars of pizza sauce on top and bake at 350 for about an hour.  When the buzzer goes off hubby and kids grab a sub roll, put the stuff in and top it with shredded mozarella.


I get my work done and everyone is happy.  (I hate meatball subs).


Quick and easy last minute cleaning trick
Clean those vent covers from heaters, etc. the easy way.  Put an old towel on the floor or beneath the vent to catch drips.  Put hot water and your favorite cleaner (I use Fantastic because it really cuts the grease and grime fast) in a small bowl or pan.  Take a medium to large paint brush and brush the cleaning solution over the slats in the ventilator covers.  I do a quick brush over the whole thing first, then go back and start at top and work down.  It will remove all the grime and gunk.    Blot with a towel (real or paper).  You do not need to remove the vent cover to do this.  No need to rinse unless you use soapy solution. 
Chicken In Wine Sauce (Easy and Quick)
Melt about 6 TBLSP butter in skillet.  Sprinkle boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic salt and any other seasonings that you like, dust in flour and brown in butter for about 5 minutes or so, just till a little brown (to your liking).  Put together 1/2 cup white cooking wine, 2 teaspoons roasted chopped garlic (I buy it already chopped), 2 TBLSP lemon juice (I use bottled Real Lemon), and 2 TBLSP dried parsley.  Fresh is good too but I just never have it around.  Dump this on the chicken in the skillet and put a lid on it and simmer for 6 minutes.  Throw a bag of precooked microwave rice in the microwave, plop some on the plate, put the chicken on top and spoon some sauce over it.  Very tasty and ready in less than 30 minutes.  My kind of dinner !!! If you use more than about 4 pieces of chicken breast increase the butter to 8 TBLSP.  I am sure that Parkay (or whatever) would work just as well but I use butter and be done with it.  I usually have broccoli or some other green veggie and a salad with it.  I use my Breadman a lot so I usually have hot rolls as well. 
Have you looked into Express scribe? That is what I use for my Wav, and it is quick and easy. sm

I don't know if this is compatible with all pedals, but maybe it will help.

Off to the right there is a button for downloading the software.


Rehab is easy, some muscle names might get you at first but you will learn quick - sm
I first started on PT, good way to start when you are green. Loved it, simple and good lines.
ShortHand is quick and easy. You can turn off the popup window,
but it is small and barely shows. It just reminds you what is about to play out, which can be helpful for me. Say I wanted to have copd change to COPD, so I have it in there that way. But then I add it as copdj to have it play out in full. If I can't remember if I did it that way, I can look down at the box before I hit space or punctuation and see which way is going to play out.
Don't mean squished sandwiches from roast, lol, fresh made sandwiches squished on the
:}
Man, you're quick!
Thanks for the info!
There's a quick way of doing this if you're working with Express Scribe.

I found it in their Knowledge Base.



  1. Go to the Settings window and select Control tab.

  2. Click the ADd button under the "System Wide Hote Key Assignment" heading (at the bottom).

  3. Now press the key conbimation that you will use for the command (e.g. Ctrl+G) and then select the "Copy Time" option from the dropdown list.

  4. Click the OK.

When you need to add the time hit your new command (Ctrl+G) to copy the time from ES and then Ctrl+V to paste it in the desired location.


Hope this is helpful!


You must either get really easy doctors or you're guessing and
  Don't believe it.
Geez, you're just making this too easy!

I worked for yeeears for a company where I was the primary MT on the account.  I produced what they considered to full-time MTs (no bennies except taxes being cut and matched).  I earned $4000/month.  I later went to work in the office and happened to see an invoice to the client.  I did the math and I realized they were clearing an additional $4000/month just based on my production.  So they were making twice again as much as what they paid me.Was I immature enough to think I DESERVED MORE?  No!


I had a good gig and I knew it.  I knew how valuable I was to both the client and the MTSO.  I knew how long I had worked this account, how certain doctors would only accept my work, how many of those doctors seeing my work at the hospital went back to their practices and signed on with that MTSO because of the quality of my work increasing the MTSO's business in the process.  I was loyal to them  and they were loyal to me.  On the 3 occasions I ran out of work, they paid me 2 weeks pay just so I wouldn't take a job somewhere else.


But let's analyze this since you seem you jumped on my wardrobe size.


First you need to understand this is a country where capitalism is own of its primary foundation.  Next you need to understand that out of that profit, the owner had to pay herself (how many times did she call me for help at 11:00 on a Saturday or Sunday because people bailed on her and she had alread worked 20 hours that day and just needed someone who would help her out?).  In addition to having to do MT work, she had a business to run.  That means maintaining good will.  You know, visiting your clients, checking in to see how things are, what can we do for you...in other words, being the marketing person also.  And god forbid she have a private life.!  She had to pay an office manager to manage all the qurky personalities of the at-home MTs, the daily vascillating work flow, putting out fires and preventing them, etc.  Next she had to pay her bookkeeper because god forbid anyone's paycheck was late or incorrect.  Then she had to pay a computer tech to help set up the new MTs, manage computer issues, make sure all the clients got their work, set up new clients, maintained the ASP, etc.  She also had to pay the in-house MTs.  She had to pay her accountant to make sure the books were in proper order and do yearly taxes, keep up with adding new state taxes to the computer when she hired an MT from another state.


She had to pay rent, electricity, phones, toll free lines for all her long-distance MTs, liability insurance, provide computers sometimes with no notice because someone's computer died overnight and she couldn't afford down time for that MT or the client, provide computer equipment for the client's, provide C-phones and Lanier stations, pay someone to clean the office twice a week...


Is the big picture a little more clear?  Where does this new-age feeling of entitlement come from?  Geesh, am I the only one on this site who can remember trying to pick 100 lbs of cotton in a day and feeling satisfied if I got near that figure?  And I'm in my 40s! 


The world doesn't owe you anything.  It was here first.


They're similar and easy to use, but ExText just functions better. Loved it where

Pulled Pork Roast Sandwiches with Cabbage/Slaw
I would just take that baby and rub her down with some oil, vegetable, corn, olive, etc. and rub her down with some good seasons, like a little chili powder, garlic, salt, pepper and wrap her up good and tight in some aluminum foil. Git some good hickory wood chips and once the grill starts to cool off from the hottest point, then put that baby out there and let her slow cook for about 6 hours or so. Keep it wrapped up tight so the juices do not escape and if they do, get some worchestershire, oil etc. and baste her up. When a fork separates with the meat to just strands, she is ready for some bread and some slaw/cabbage with a lil vinegar added to the slaw and a lil bbq or A1 steak sauce with a lil mustard added together is better to me and there you go, a good ole southern pulled pork roast samwich!
Went simple. Homemade chicken soup cooking all day in the crockpot and sandwiches. NM

Yummy grilled veggies
Take green peppers, red peppers, onion, squash, zucchini, asparagus, tomatos and slice them in thick, big slices.  Marinade in sun dried tomato and basil salad dressing for a few hours with some garlic and salt and pepper.  Then put straight on the grill and cook them.  Very good.

grilled NY strip, rice pilaf and a greek salad
I found this marvellous Greek salad dressing with feta cheese, made locally, called YiaYia's, and so I've been having lots of salads lately! :)  It's still warm enough here (low 80s) to BBQ outdoors, which I love, so I'll do that, save the Foreman grill for when it's cold!
