In Reply to: I need a car in the worst way - Has anyone bought car on Ebay?
Best car I've ever, ever had. They specialize in luxury cars and large SUVs. Had hundreds of positive feedback from other buyers, very reputable seller. Got my Yukon for 8,000 under blue book. It was an awesome experience and we'd do it again in a heart beat. I had to drive out there to get it and it has everything in it - OnStar, media package, leather.
The only problem with that is you have to get your own financing and have the money in hand when picking up your vehicle.
Don't knock buying on ebay unless you've had a bad experience buying a vehicle. I've had my SUV for over a year. NO problems and if I sold it today I would make money on it.

I live in Houston on Lake Houston - (sm)
Kingwood and Humble school districts. We are pretty much in the country where we are, but only about 15 minutes but shopping, 30 minutes to downtown, so you can have both good schools AND country living, or closer in, more like city. In regard to the other poster, I have heard that Cy-Fair is a good school district, one of the best, so I hear - the only problem with living out there is that it is on the west side of Houston and is highly populated, and traffic is horrendous. Even on a Saturday morning, it can take you 15 minutes to go 2 miles. 
Move! You live nextdoor to a known cocaine dealer! Yikes!
I would get out of Dodge, between that and the rotties.
I live in Houston and am debating whether to leave or not. Even being a
little ways from the coast, we could still see some bad damage. We do not have flood insurance, but we survived Allison during the floods, but we have 5 animals, 2 kids and a mother-in-law we would have to take with us. That means 2 cars. We are going to wait a while and see what happens.
I live 3 hours from Houston and our weathermen are
telling us to prepare for 60-80 mph winds on Sunday. It's a hassle to leave, but I wouldn't chance it, not with kids.
I bought some on Ebay for $26 ;)
You might want to check there. The person had an ebay store and many styles and all the ones I was considering were under $30.
I bought mine on Ebay but....
I would stay away from a seller by the name of xxelaborate1xx. He sold me the professional version 8 which is wonderful, however, he does not send you the serial # with it. He wants you to instant message him so he can give it to you, then he wants you to give him code (a fingerprint of your computer) which is a big no no! Out of curiosity I proceeded to activate my software the way he said and my Norton alert said NO! It was a site that wanted personal information and contained viruses. I think pirates these CDs then tries to get access to buyers computers to get personal info such as credit info, ssn, banking, etc. If the buyer was a selling an original copy that had not been registered yet I think thats fine. I would just be careful with the ones that say there nothing but the CD. Ask questions! Ask questions!
Bought mine on Ebay
We have bought our last two from ebay. They are sealed and nothing wrong with them. Got them for around $10
I bought one on Ebay today; thanks.

I bought 2 off ebay as well w/o any problems - sm
I bought a Dell Latitude CPi about 5 years ago for travel (windows 98) about $600 (with DVD), and just bought a new (used) Dell Optiplex GX270 for $200, P4, 3 mHz, 512 MB RAM. This has XP Pro on it. Since I didn't need all the other stuff as I have it, I think ebay is the way to go if all you need is the CPU. I am very happy with both though I think the laptop is starting to die; so I will have to get a new laptop too, and I will go the same route with ebay on that as well. I bought the new CPU because I think my drive is going on my current desktop so I wanted a backup so I went with a faster computer (mine is 2 mHz now). Going to eventually switch over to the new computer altogether (need to get a modem for it) but will probably use a KVM switch for a little while.
I bought on on EBay for under $200. Haven't had a chance to try it yet. nm

I went on Ebay and bought a folding wheelbarrow, sm
that is made of vinyl. The week before camping, I'd place it in a strategic spot in the house and as I thought of things to pack, I'd put it in the wheelbarrow. The night before heading out, I'd roll the thing to the RV, and pack it. Of course, can't really do that with perishables, but it sure helped with clothes, towels, etc. Then the wheelbarrow would be ready in the garage to unpack the RV. It sure saved on the back-and-forth treks from house to RV.
LOL ... I bought mine on eBay. Link inside to tell you more about it. :-) sm
I bought mine off Ebay and love it! This is probably the keyboard I will always use now.

I bought a glare reducing screen to put on monitor from ebay. nm

We bought a 2 2/1 inch memory foam topper and cannot live without it now! AWESOME

Split? I bought old IBM off ebay but not split.

Where do most of you get your computers worked on. Do you take them to a local dealer and what is
the wait time for anything to be done.
Mwahahaha. Just call me the dealer that caused the shuffle. SM
I'm like you, I couldn't understand how this particular subject could cause such a ruckus. I got a little picky about how the question should be answered because there are many variables when talking about line counts.
So I'm just going to give my answer and hope that this helps you.
I work 8 hours a day and my line count is based on a 65 character line with spaces.
In an 8-hour day, with very few interruptions, I produce 1800 to 2000 lines a day. If the kids are home (as they are today), my production will slip to around 1500, sometimes even lower, but let's not talk about those days! 
Houston
I currently get 8.5 cents per line as an IC. I can't tell you what the service charges the doctors, though. Most big hospitals/institutions in the Medical Center are outsourcing transcription to companies who can interface with their EMR systems. It goes without saying that most of these companies use overseas transcriptionists.
Same thing in Houston!
The same thing happened here in Houston. They found an elderly lady dead and her car stolen. She had opened up her home to the New Orleans evacuees and after living with her for several months, they strangled her and stole her car.
How do you explain this to children? My children were so disappointed that we did not open our home up to the Katrina evacuees, but this was exactly the type of thing I was afraid of. So we did other things to help out, but open my home? No way!
I feel sorry for the old guy in your town and hope that he has a full recovery. He is the one who deserves our prayers and good wishes.
Guardian Angels for Houston
 Houston wants to get some of the NY Guardian Angels because of the increased crime in the city with all the Katrina evacuees. Schools are having increased violence also because the N.O. kids want to take over the school with the attitude, "You made us come here, so now it's our school." Letting them into my home. I think not. Wonder how many Oprah took in to her homes with all her preaching about us helping them. Right.

What is the going line rate in Houston, TX?
I have provided transcription services in Colorado for an internal medicine/nephrologist physician for the past five years. He recently moved to Houston and started a new practice there and has asked me to provide him a proposal for doing his transcription there. I was just curious if anyone could give me an idea what the going rate per line is in Houston.
Thanks in advance for any input.
LTS???? IS IT REPUTABLE???
I was just accepted as an IC from LTS. I wondering if they were reputable.. Please let me know!!
Reputable? Yes
Worked for them for 8 years (starting when they were Edix). They are snakes in the grass. Anyone who says they are a good company just hasn't been burnt yet. I wouldn't go back there if they offered me a million dollars. There are better companies out there to work for.
There are almost NO reputable MTs who would sm
would work for you, do YOUR work, with the conditions you state. People apply and give you an option. You won't get help any other way.
Might try MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. NM

Wonderful people in Houston, yourself included!
Wonderful to know there are such caring folks out there.
Any For Real Good MT Schools in Houston?
I'm looking for a real good MT school or some sort of MT on the job training or willing to train a person to work out of home. Have been LVN since 1984 but now disable, need something to do out of home. Please reply, disability not enough income. Thanks!

I love Whitney Houston's ballads, but
I know how high she can go and often times, the Idol judges don't like when the contestants sing her stuff, because they just aren't her.
Best of luck to your daughter!
very reputable....I sent you an e-mail. -nm

Yes, they are very reputable - email me
and I will fill you in on how things are done there. Things are done slightly differently there, but it is a good company, good people, lots of work, promptly paid.
ABSOLUTELY NOT REPUTABLE - sm
They are absolutely not a reputable company whatsoever. They are a major lawsuit waiting to happen.
They make no secrets about offshoring to India, however, most of the hospitals are not privvy to that information.
Yes, Spheris is reputable.
I've been employed there for over 6 years with no problems whatsoever.
They are a reputable company unless you consider one that offshores as not reputable - which apparently the non-Indian Transcriber (?) does. They pay on time, offer good benefits, and there's always work if you are willing to be a little flexible.
If it is a reputable company it probably
is. My IC job hired me without any references or resume, just a conversation on the phone. I sent them the info and have had no problem with direct deposit.
Not a reputable company. nt
Yes, go to a reputable online..
spyware removal site (like Nortan or McCaffee, etc. and get any and all bugs removed. Will cost about $60 and then your done. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago and that was my solution. I am cautious about not clicking or downloading suspicious things, but it got me somehow.
I bought a wedge at Michael's for about 59 cents. Bought one for my SM
Lanier station so I could see the display and one for my keyboard.
I'd do one of two things. If it is a reputable company, I would...
put 000-00-0123 or xxx-xx-x123 (if it will accept it). If not a well known company, I would NOT put it or put 000-00-0000.
Don't waste your money.... A very reputable...
physician was speaking at a conference, a doc who specializes in weight loss and has a practice for same and I was able to ask about these products. She said they are just a waste of money.
Not all, some are reputable, as poster above mentions
I joined a few of them for free a while ago and have been contacted for a few shops. Unfortunately some don't pay well IMO and don't seem worth the trouble, i.e. $10 or $20.00. In my experience, rarely clothes shops or anything real interesting. Often gas stations or electronic type shops. The restaurant ones are good, you can get a free meal for 2 - they are pretty rare though. It's definitely not a big money-maker and probably more like a hobby or for fun if you like that kind of thing. You also need to have a very flexible schedule because often they will contact you about shops needing to be done within a couple of days.
Then personally, I would not consider them reputable and send in
my letter of resignation ASAP.
Yes - reputable company. Easy to work for. Pay on time always. nm

I have to take that back. I saw some google sites (reputable ones) with porthole. nm

why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion. lovely trees and lakes all around. maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall. but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
Live and let live. Don't force your lifestyle on me.

I used to live in MN now I live in MS and they were both cold last night!
Will take MS cold over MN cold any day, and I don't miss the snow. I miss the Mall of America, though!
I live in PA, can I help? If they are close to where I live, I would go check them out for ya!
Where in PA is this company?
You must live where I live. I ran into the same sort of SM
situation when I was the president-elect of the local chapter and the VP-elect of the state chapter. I bailed out. There was no fighting it.
