Who's got time to watch Dr. Phil? LOL Kidding....

In Reply to: What would Dr. Phil say - Just me2

My kids are now scurrying around doing chores. They do this every year, though. It's like they push and push to see how far they can go before we take away Christmas. Or maybe they're just bored. Too bad for them.

I don't have time to watch much tv
I spend most of my time working to pay my bills. Tv does not come on until I am done...no matter what that time is, or if it is already too late, i just go to bed.
You have got to be kidding right!!?? That was the worst halftime show of all time! Never was a Stone
I am in the younger crowd - 34 years old, and would have appreciated Motown more than the Stones.

He looked older than dirt! I am a huge football fan, and the Janet Jackson malfunction was a better halftime show than the Stones. Sorry!
LOVE ER!!! I watch the re-runs every day, and watch the new ones on Thursday night!!

I don't think Dr. Phil
is good enough to help these people. It's obvious that there are some underlying issues that need to be addressed.
What would Dr. Phil say

Dr. Phil would say -- you are allowing them to do it to you and then ask "how is your present situation working" -- it is not so do something about it.  I am sorry but kids these days need to take a little responsibility and do some the chores.   everyone needs to pull their own weight.   Believe me, those TV's would be unplugged and they would down to the bare essentials until they began to do more.   You are not teaching them anything by doing everything.  Also unless you ask, they don't know what is expected of them.   They cannot read minds.  Have a family meeting set up a list and time frame for things to be done and if they don't do it, well then something is taken away, video games, TV or whatever.   There is no reason that any mother, father should not receive help from kids when both parents are working.  I did it and I am sure you did it and it did not kill any of us, it prepared us for the world.  So you need to talk to them, husband included and say if you want the financial picture to stay the same and with me working two jobs, this is what needs to be done.  If you don't and we be out on the street, then I can quit and will have time to clean the portion of the street where we will be living or the car if we need to live in our car.    Just me two cents worth. 


Dr. Phil. sm
I am quite fed up with Dr. Phil.  He seems to be the expert on everything from weight loss, to addictions, to relationships.  I heard he was so cheap, he takes free samples of anything he can get with all his money. Dr. Phil does not know everything.
If I were you and he were my DH, I'd make him take that job right. Like Dr. Phil says,
would you rather be right or would you rather be healthy? Who cares if you and he were "right."  Put your pride aside and accept the offer for the job back.  Obviously you need them and they need you (or they need him). 
Have you contacted Dr. Phil??
Seriously, I don't know what you can do about it. Probably absolutely nothing. You just need to be as supportive TO YOUR SON as you can be. You can let him know you don't agree with this but you love him anyway. Honestly, this will not last long. He may not even make it to the altar. As far as the girl....just tolerate her the best you can. I don't think she'll be in your life very long!! Good luck!
Train in one day the Dr. Phil way.

I am not a Dr. Phil fan either. Just do not like his attitude.
;
Dr. Phil seems only interested in
for his weight loss supplements and snack bars.  I read the ingredients and they are full of trans fats, which are the ones that plug up your arteries.  Now he is in movies too.  Tired of him and his pop culture psychology.
see the posts, most do not like Phil...SM
so there....
Look, Phil is what he is, and he DOES help people.

Captain Phil
:)
Did anybody see Dr. Phil today?
seen.  I think it is terrible if he would try to make ratings off of parents abusing their children.  I hope he is trying to use this as a service and maybe it will help others.
and I dislike Dr. Phil...*ROFL*...sm
Highly educated here and with more street (common) sense than MOST people in the life and I don't like Phil....
See Dr. Phil today? He was ALL OVER parents with your attitude
You need to get the transcript from today's show.

Man, are you failing your kids with that attitude. I feel sorry for them.
Phil IS sour grapes....called that on TV...nm

Dr. Phil??? Grolier book publishers....sm

Grolier Book Publishers put out an entire series of books in 1980 for children on treating others as we want to be treated.  My children had the entire set.....each book was written the same way (in kids language and drawings) but focused on one subject each book...i.e., Let's Talk About Bullying or Let's Talk About Stealing or Let's Talk About Cheating...and basically every subject.  My children grew up being very very giving decent children, successful, and never got into any trouble (to write home about, just some school issues), and today I'm very proud!


Dr. Phil didn't exist in our lives 20-25 years ago.    He merely reminds us of old-school teachings......and I can appreciate that. 


You should talk to Phil Cohen at PRN Funding. He is very
You can contact him by visiting the PRN Funding site.  See the link below.
As long as it takes, to quote good old Dr. Phil!

You're both worth it - go for it!!


As Dr. Phil says, "Let's get back to common sense."
If you see red flags, hear bells and whistles, or alarms going off in your head..listen to it. If your already hearing the excuses as to why they aren't getting paid on time, why be one of those waiting on your check...It is kind of like seeing a train coming down the track right towards you and somehow you convince yourself you can dodge it. I'm sure others have tried before you. Excuses will never pay your bills. Listen to your gut, go with common sense and the rest works out. Just my opinion...
ONCE. All day, every day. LOL Just kidding....
Or not...
No kidding...
All that wind, and very little rain...  But it DID manage to snap one of my trees in half, cause another tree to partially uproot, blow a plastic baby pool into our yard, and knock over our nice swing in the backyard!  Trees all over our neighborhood are completely knocked over, and this is a subdivision where all the homes have been there 2+ years!  Can we say the landscapers sucked?!
Are you kidding me?
That is so low. That just makes me madder.
You have got to be kidding!
You need to re-read your post sister - You indicate Medquist has spent millions regarding the lawsuit and could ONLY spare $20,000 for Katrina victims? You have got to be kidding - what the heck did you give to Katrina victims?

The one thing I can say for MedQuist is at least they are paying their debt and not filing chapter 11 or closing the business or just running and hiding - they are coming clean and that is respectful. What IS NOT respectful is your arrogant remarks regarding them ONLY GIVING $20,000. I want to hear it from you - HONESTLY WHAT DID YOU GIVE?

Get a life and find something better to gripe about. I could only imagine if they gave a million dollars, you would be whining again because you want a raise and here they are giving all this money away. UGH - good golly!

I will assume that if I don't get a response back from you that you gave nothing to Karina victims and are speechless.
no kidding
it certainly does make a mockery of this so-called profession. Corporate material?....no! Trailer park material.....absolutely! And I love it - I come here for entertainment! LOL!
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!
Where??? The only time you hear from them is when they want to be nasty and mean to you for not doing enough work!!! SS s***s.
you have to be kidding me
peep is just people...in the 'old times' it was a peeping tom, get with the times.........don't get so OFFENDED!!!!!!!!
you are kidding, right?
you are kidding.
Are you kidding?
Look, stand up for your business. At 0.8 per gross line, with that many templates and time, she has no excuse but to get it right. None of my accounts would tolerate that. She must take no pride in her work. And if you keep making her corrections, etc., you are hurting yourself. If she were a friend, she would want to get it right and be grateful for the work. Has she heard of "spellcheck"? I have helped friends out and they have helped me, but we would expect the best, not just "get through with it as fast as possible". Rethink this person kiddo. There's gotta be someone else who would appreciate this work.
Are you kidding?
We both work and neither one of us wants to be bothered talking on the phone during the day.  We talk when he gets home.  
RU kidding????
I'll have U know I DID work at BK from 1974-76 when in hi school and NO WAY would I trade my keyboard fingers for french frie smell! LOL Ewww....they always stuck me on fries (couldn't deal with customers) - yuck. I always had french fry hair from that darn cap I had to wear!
Are you kidding?
Sorry, don't mean to sound mean, but do you not know what court reporting is? There is no way that this can be done from home. You have to document what is said while it is being said in the courtroom. Sheesh!
You have GOT to be kidding...

Please tell me you are kidding! Unbelievable how naieve some people are, simply unbelievable!


You really should go to the ER. No kidding.

I have a dear friend who is in his early 50s.  He has the standard headaches and takes his BC Powders.


Last year at Christmas he was going home for the holidays and I had gone by his office to wish him happy holidays, and he was literally laying on the table with the worst h/a ever he said.  His eye was even a little blood shot (like you get with a really bad h/a).


On the way home, he finally couldn't take it anymore and pulled into an ER about 20 minutes from where he lives.


Within minutes they had done a CT and had him on a helicopter to Univ of Ala at B'Ham. 


He had a brain tumor!  Never would have thought it - wouldn't have ever even considered to think that.  He was healthy as a horse. 


So, please go to the ER.  BTW he had surgery and he is doing really good.  But he wouldn't have if he hadn't stopped and pulled into that ER that day.


Not kidding
Spirits in the house  - go ahead and laugh, or tell me you wanted a serious answer.  That is one.  I've seen it before.
Are you kidding me???
Next week they're all going to sing Queen??? The only one I can see pulling that off is Chris. Can you imagine Bucky and Kelly singing Queen?

You have got to be kidding!
That should not be acceptable!
Are you kidding?
I realize I have troubles now with this icky account, but for me to work with SC's, well, I might as well jump from the fry pan straight into the fire - been there and done that and no more.  I've had it up to here with subcontractors, hearing all their excuses as to why they can't work (my kid's got the sniffles - I started my period - I have a headache - My third cousin in Omaha is sick, and I have to call her, yada, yada, yada) and I've had it up to here with looking at their sloppy work.  Working with SCs?  NEVER AGAIN!
LOL...no kidding

You are kidding, right? I cannot believe you
MTs WOULD drink while working.  Absolutely no way I would drink until my work was done, same as if I worked in a hospital.
You have got to be kidding me. LOL.
You were bashing their dictating habits because they were ESLs, now don't try to say you weren't. If that isn't about race then I don't know what is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad dictators come in all shapes, sizes, colors. Any good MT knows that.
Are you kidding??? sm
It was already almost 80 at 6 this morning.  High expected to be in the mid 90s, with heat index over 100...thank the good Lord above for A/C!!! ---me when I go outside!
6.5 cpl are you kidding
I was just offered a position with one of the major nationals.  I have 12 years of experience in multiple specialties in clinic work with many ESL dictators and some experience in acute care and ER but remote.  I have been working as an IC at 8 cpl for the longest time, which is okay but no benefits.  They had an incentitive program but come on. Is this really the going rate?
kidding? uh uh.
I am paid production . . . period.  I work as fast as I can and do as well as I can. I do not slow myself down to go back and re-read something I just transcribed. Sure I make mistakes now and then, but not often enough to slow myself down by rereading everything. That is insane. I am realistic. I am not a saint. I do not hold myself out as a representative of this bright shining idea of perfect Transcriptionist working loyally for less and less money and fewer and fewer benefits as the years go by.
You have got to be kidding me!

LOL...no kidding! nm

are you kidding me
Off shore MT get patient lists with SS# addresses, which can also be dictated and personal and social history - many also handle the billing for the clients as well - which includes even more information. - okay so maybe not the MT themselves in every instance - but the companies they work for - are you telling me that you have never received a patient list with personal information other than names? even on VPN systems, this information can be dictated and is available with a search. I agree we all need to get involved not as MTs, but as Americans - every individual no matter what work they do needs to know and demand their personal information be kept within the USA
OMG you have GOT to be kidding!
The sad thing is, I'm sure you're not. 
No kidding!
The ctl+ctl fails to open for me sometimes also! The only connection I've made is that it sometimes happens after I close the alt+S screen. The only way I knew to get the function of ctl+ctl back is to shut down and start all over. Can you remember what you did to reactive the ctl+ctl feature? I don't know if I could replicate your twitch. LOL.

By the way, does anyone else have problems (sometimes) looking up doc names with ctl+A? Meaning, if you type something like k? to do a search, you would only get the first doctor in the database (his/her name would be Ka---. This is driving me nuts.

I'm still pretty new with EXText, so I feel pretty inadequate sometimes.
