    Yeah, really. Why should we pay state taxes
    in the company's state as well as our residence state? That's double taxation. Although, the way I read it was that it was for people who go into the office part of the time. True telecommuters. Most of us don't.
    yea - they meant cooked chicken and rice and cooked beef and rice. its bland too.

    Sorry, but Condi is about as black as OJ Simpson...
    Black on the outside and white on the inside...
    After about age 35-40 everything's picked over anyway.
    All that's left are:

    1. Some loser that his wife threw out. If someone else didn't want him, there had to be a good reason. I don't either.

    2. Some mommy's boy who's lived at home decades beyond what is appropriate. Total head-case here. Cheap, immature, incapable of making a decision without Mom's involvement and approval. No thanks.

    3. The fat, the bald, the lazy, the angry and anything else that the rest of the female population considers undesirable.

    If you're over 40, get a pet. They love you nomatter what, they're always happy to see you and they're not in need of therapy and/or medication.
    it can be picked up and what you are
    transmitting or receiving can be monitored by others. hipaa, you know.
    They could have at least picked a guy with
    nice white teeth, not yellow! Yuck!
    eat them now, they were picked eons ago.
    why wait?
    She picked Steve.

    mmmm... rice.

    Where do you get the jasmin rice ?
    I have looked around here in specialty stores and can't find it. I LOVE jasmin rice.
    Red beans and rice.
    Husband's fave, not mine. Smelly.
    You know, she could have picked better songs

    Sure they were done by Elvis, but she could have picked better songs, and she could have done better with the ones she picked.  People complain that the guys should have done a Bette Midler week, but I could just see Elliott doing Wind Beneath My Wings, or Taylor doing The Rose...they would just have to pick songs that best suited them from that artist and then just do a great job. She should have tried Love Me Tender.


    Condoleeza Rice

    African American, female, educated, no scandals.  Prime example of what education can do.  I like what Oprah does for other countries, but Oprah loves attention and she's first in line to say "look what I did."


    I wish Colin Powell would run for President.  I'd vote for him.


    I think you have picked wisely
    because the field for nursing is unbelievable. Having worked at hospitals, doctor offices, etc. I heard from nurses not only the $$$$ salary but the perks that go along with it. One nurse told me about how she got her living expenses covered by 2 doctors vying for her working for them. I have been here for 30+ years so I am not in the same boat trying to raise children, etc. but if I had to do that now I would never be able to live off the salary handed to the MTs now. Good luck!
    Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
    I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.)  Then you really avoid the tax situation. 
    turkey, rice and oatmeal
    Don't know if it would help the gas problem, but when my dog got real old, he didn't want dog food, and I gave him turkey (vet said turkey very easy to digest) and rice, and he loved oatmeal.   I'm all for giving an old dog whatever makes him happy. 
    go to Africa and feed them rice, better yet

    I picked up the Homedics Shiatsu
    neck massager at Walgreen's last month, and it's so relaxing! Eight or ten minutes at bedtime and I fall asleep immediately. For anyone with tense neck muscles, this is a must-have. I've tried the seat cushion too-- nice!
    The signal cannot be picked up on wireless if you
    even if you DON'T, they can only pick up and use  your SIGNAL for access - not YOUR actual online activity.  How this fallacy began is beyond me.  If your activity could be monitored just because you use wireless then satellite internet would not exist and Linksys would be out of business.  Many MAJOR corporations, banks and government entities use satellite internet on laptops for salesmen, traveling employees and others who work out of the office in the USA and overseas.  Do you think they would risk it if there were an actual problem?  Your Keystrokes are more likely be picked up by spyware, adware, viruses and worms which are prevalent on ALL internet connections.  If any MTSO had a problem in the past it is because their own site was not properly secure - it had nothing to do with the type of internet connection.  The MTSOs are denying employment to a lot of good MTs just because they live where DSL and cable are not available.  All based on what is, in my book, an OLD WIVE'S TALE. 
    Is there a reason you picked Colorado or was it

    I picked up a brochure and it stated that --sm
    the student version did not come with outlook 2007, which I happen to like. Guess it will be the next up version for me. sigh.
    I have not picked up a book in forever
    I go to the Internet for everything I need to know. Keep in mind that you need to find reference sites that are legit, then the Internet is the way to go. In fact, my books are packed in a box and I have no clue where that box is. The exception to that is my Book of Style, and it is a rare use item, as well.
    cherry-picked routing to VR and offshore
    Ethical to route the work in a systematic way according to the documented processes of your company. Unethical to route work "as you see fit" if "as you see fit" is defined based on who you like and who you don't, as you described above. Tired of hearing the complaining? Get over it and get used to it, because it isn't going to stop and it is only going to get worse.

    On what basis to you know that the "paranoid" plotting and speculation about dictation being cherry picked to go to India or VR is unfounded? I notice the natural variation in who is dictating, etc., the true "roll of the dice" as you describe it, and that doesn't bother me.

    It isn't that it "has" to be more than just fate. It is more than just fate.

    VR and offshore transcriptionists can't handle the tough dictation, yet we know they are being used. Do you think what is being routed to VR and offshore is random, the luck of the draw? I don't.

    So I don't know why I shouldn't suspect that if on the average, in an ongoing trend, dictation is getting worse for domestic transcriptionists to a degree that could not be a cooincidence, it means that for reasons other than coincidence, easier work is being routed somewhere else.

    I can tell you are comfortable with "the way things have always been," and change makes you nervous, but get used to the fact that whether it has always been this way or not, it is not going to continue to be that way.

    Get used to the ideas of MTs standing up for their rights and fighting back or quit reading the complaints and type away in your happy, sheltered world. The status quo is not going to continue.
    my supervisor cherry picked the normal
    cataract surgeries, normal any other type of surgeries she could using the same illogical reasoning that you have used. That is because she is too incompetent to do transcription.
    My dog loves his brown rice and chicken!
    He turns his nose up at most dog foods.  Found out he was actually eating the cat food.  For some reason the cats stopped attacking him when he got near their food.  A few weeks after I put the cat food up on a bench where he can't reach it, he had lost 5 lbs.  He'll eat the dog food now, but he loves his special rice and chicken once in a while.
    crockpot chicken/gravy over rice
    Brown up chicken breasts and put in crockpot. pour mixture of Cream of chicken soup,dried onion,parsley and 1/2 can water over the top. cook on low all afternoon and serve over rice.
    They offshore so you get the cherry picked leftovers.
    Sound quality is lousy. Totally rigid on their schedule. They have the attitude that you should be grateful to work for them.
    Red beans and rice with smoked sausage...

    And strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for dessert...wow hungry now!


    I'm sorry you feel picked on. Yours was the post I responded too because SM
    yours was the one I found to be most unbelievable and in case you didn't notice, I wasn't the only one who found it unbelievable.
    Maybe you picked the wrong week to stop

    Chicken wings with Broc and rice casserole
    I was going to do the breakfast thing but my son was broc and rice, so breakfast tomorrow.  I love breakfast all times of the day
    Nope, my hubby picked mine up last year and
    hopefully his deductions will clear out mine this year.
    Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.

    Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect.  I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it. 


    Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it.  If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.

    Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
    or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
    I can relate.....I took on extra work and now my DH just picked a fight with me, and is also winding
    the kids up massively as I type this. Totally off your subject but he just dropped on me that he is cutting all contact off from my dad since he recently remarried and intimated that he was leaving me and my brothers nothing in his will......DH also said the kids were not allowed to have any contact with him either.  I can get around that and just leave with the kids when he is at work if I have to resort to that.  But this is bullsh*t.....I fear if it keeps up I am headed for divorce court.  He is getting weirder and weirder about money, though he professes not to care or want it.  Then he dropped that when his dad (75) dies his mom (70) was moving in with us.......WHAT!  So right now I am hoping that his mom goes first as he will never live with his dad, or that his dad lives another 15 years at least....We had promised my mom she could live with us, but now that she is dead, he says it will be his mother as he has to protect his interests (and the kids....as supposedely all his parent's money is to go to them.....he plans not to touch it). So needless to say I am LIVID, don't want to work right now, am not talking to him though he keeps coming in and ranting more....he has calmed down some but still driving me nuts.  He has to stop drinking, that is what it comes down to....much more rational then.  But I really think the writing is on the wall and it's scary as I have no where to go now.

    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!

    That is what I'm trying to do. I've picked up some smaller accounts, dropped the national, an
    very hard to cut my hours. It takes time learning the new docs and systems, but I'm sure soon I'll be working less (I pray).

    Thanks for your thoughts. I should have never gotten used to the bonus $$.
    Picked up tapes for years for a clinic. Finally splurged
    Drs wanted to try the phone system so I found a used one and it's much easier. Still drop off printed reports but have dictation instantly, especially nice for stat reports. Don't have to wait to pick up tapes anymore. I could see some of my older clients never moving away from tapes, but if you have one that's receptive to it, you might give it a shot. With gas prices now, it's easier to have a few scheduled dropoff days a week and you can always fax urgent documents to staff. I find that the local drs are usually quite loyal to good MTs so that is nice job security. They like the personal touch from someone they trust, not some big chain. My clients even offered to pay for phone system but I bought it so I could write it off.

    rice, bakery outlets, loss leader at the grocery stores,

    My favorite cheap meal is cooking chicken leg quarters in a crock pot with an 1/4 onion and tumeric. Serve them with rice and lentils.


    Here is a list of cheap foods: PB&J, bacon (cook two 2 slices at  a time to put in eggs and beans), carrots, potatoes,  beans (lentils are the easiest to cook IMHO), pasta, rice (use oil instead of butter to save $), eggs, Totinos pizza, and frozen mixed veggies.


    www.stretcher.com under groceries has some good ideas.


    www.hillbillyhousewfie.com has good ideas too. She has a good list called Everyday Bargains.


    Do you have a bakery outlet close by? They usually have great deals on bread and bakery junk food. For $4 you can walk away with a big bag of bread, bagles, cake, ect.


    I'm a single mom so I can't do this but if you can go grocery shopping without children that will help. Most stores have a loss leader for meat on sale each week. I would buy that meat and make mix it with rice or ramen noodles for dinner.


    Most churches have food pantries. If you call one that does not have one, ask where there is a food bank. Church secretaries get so many calls for help they are usually experts at what the organizations available.  Some Catholic Churches have St. Vincent DE Paul societies, they will either give you food or a gift card to a grocery store. Call the parish office and ask if the is one.  We recieve food stamps now but I have been to food banks.  They usually give canned food, pasta, and bread.
