LOOK INTO ZIPPER TOO. THIS ONE
is extremely rude as well.
Zipper here
Hey now, get it right here MQLOVER - I am not Zippy, I am Zipper. It's all good though, we see eye to eye on Medquist so I will let this one slide! Have a great day!
Zipper says
They say that nonsense is nonsense. C'mon, get real, if I was MQLOVER, why would I need to pretend to be someone else? We are just two very intelligent, brilliant, rather comical, individuals who are sick of the darn MQ bashers on here. You will get flamed if ya bash MQ or keep bashing us!

There is no reverting from MQLOVER to Zipper - She is her own person and I am my own - GET IT, GOT IT, GOOD!

Now......"zip it!"


Zipper here
As the saying goes, "just zip it!"
Zipper, we are...
nm.
Where is Zipper?
Have not heard from him/her in a while. We must have hurt him/her feelings?
How about your husband tells the friend to tell his female friend to lose the #?

LOL see..Zipper can be very cordial..
So shame on some of you who can see no good in anyone! lol
Hey MQx4 or should I say Zipper?
Actually, I think I know what this is about. You are probably them trying to make your way back on this board and therefore in order to live up to your reputation, you must start arguing with people and saying stuff about mental illnesses.

Let the truth be told, I believe YOU could be them!
IRS created the new SE definition and

then felt it was being abused.  They then noticed how large the MT industry was and decided that would be where they would focus their efforts to decide whether to keep the status or do away with it.  In order to find out that information, they had to start doing audits if the "SE" box on your W2 was marked.  I hired a tax person to help me but his efforts were fruitless.  One day after faxing back and forth and writing back and forth, I got on the phone and held for almost 5 hours until I got someone in the department created for consumer complaint resolution.  I was amazed to find myself talking to someone who was intelligent!  They saw what the problem was, saw that all the documentation was in place and negated all activity by clicking a few keys on his computer.  I had owed about $2000 that year but had already paid it as it was a retroactive audit, so I was lucky with how things worked out.


I was just wondering if anyone else had problems.  I've chosen to never again have SE status so as not to have lightening strike again!


 


If this was on a template that you had created--sm
or if it was sent to you, you can open the template, change the view percent, save the document that way, and it should reopen in the new view percent.
Zipper and MQLover...question

Do either of you ladies stop to check your posts before you send them?


I'm also happy with my situation with MQ, have not been done wrong, have plenty of work and support from my CSC and 11 yrs under my belt with them.


That said, I know that there are as many MT's not happy with MQ as there are who are happy.


My point is, that you two in particular seem to be getting carried away with your defense of MQ and in doing so, your beginning to sound like a bunch of children, resorting to name calling and blah blah blah's?  What is up with this kind of behavior?


You can clearly state your opinions pro-MQ the same as others can express their anti MQ opinions.  It's a free board to allow anyone to express their opinions...there really is no need for the level you have both slumped to with your posts.


Just reign it in before you make complete fools out of yourselves.  Some of us adults, just sit is amazement of some of these posts, really not necessary to express you opinions with school yard antics.


Sorry, I will make sure I get it right next time, Zipper.

Nice try Barney aka Zipper

Nursing has created their own shortage
by severely restricting the availability of classes for students and refusing to make the class time available in the evenings, weekends, etc.

They also created their own shortage by making so many of the jobs papershuffling jobs rather than hands on care, and many of those jobs could easily be filled by a trained technician rather than an RN.

I do not feel sorry for nurses.
Not all QA people are created equal
If you absolutely love it, you really must have an aptitude for the job. Many of the QA people were once MTs themselves and could not keep up the pace nor did they have the necessary aptitude it takes so they became QA. So you are dealing with this scenario. Think about it.
Not all jobs are created equally either.
I won't work for the big nationals. They always wind up sticking me on ESL and difficult specialties that "nobody else can do," bouncing from account to account for coverage, several pools of hundreds of dictators, can't use your Expander much because you never hear the same dictator twice, every work type, look up addresses and patient demos. It's all about what *I* can do for them, not what *I* need to earn to support my family. Forget that! Why should I work harder for a cut in pay?
MQlover/zipper = Jekyl/Hyde????

Buh-bye Barney/Chucky/Frankie Boy/Zipper

Lab Lover
You are wonderful to be a foster mom thus far.  The other poster was correct about trying to see what can be done via lab rescue group on the web -- PLEASE tell them about your acute situation as well as her personality, and they may take her ASAP.  Another idea -- do any of your local television stations spotlight dogs that need homes?  These are terrific, and her particular breed and personality would make a great Christmas gift for one lucky family.  BTW, please keep us posted!  Good luck. 
Great! Created a heading format, now want to
have the cursor start at the beginning of the first heading, can that be done within the autotext?
Wow .. $149!! It says it was created for ipod users -- is the cord sm
long enough to go to your computer, or did you have to get some kind of extension device?  They sound great ... just not sure if cheap ol' me is ready for fork out that kinda cash. 
...do an incorrect word or even pull up something already created...nm

With shortcuts, the important thing is that they are created with - sm
a system that is consistent, and that you can remember easily. It's generally not a good idea to try to incorporate someone else's shortcuts (though I appreciate the chance to look at them, as sometimes they can give me ideas for one's I've not yet used :-) for that reason, and these don't seem to follow a very consistent method.
I had created a huge dictionary in my expander too...sm
But I was still a butterfingers! Just lack of fine motor skills, I suppose. Couldn't have made it without my word expander.

I remember when we typed on IBM Selectric typewrites and EVERY single word had to be typed out. Geez, what a bore!
One wonders if MQ lover

Zipper and a few others are not one in the same...sorta like those multiple personality disorders


Reason being is that they all sound alike, very immature and nasty


MQ lover-liar
If you have to say you don't lie, you are a liar.
Yes and lover her to death!
$50 a week. We have about 2500 sq ft and she cleans the whole house. I can't believe it took me as long as it did to hire someone.
doxie lover
I did have a miniature doxy for 10 years and she was the sweeting thing I have ever seen and my heart was in pieces when I lost her. Will have another one some day.
I'm both a pet lover and an old car buff. nm

From a parrot lover.

Large parrots are very sensitive birds.  They do not do take kindly to new human companions, so it might be wise to really think about what you would be letting yourself in for.  You will have to give a large parrot a lot of attention and affection if you do not want it to mutilate its feathers.  You will have to keep its cage squeaky clean if you do not want to risk your parrot becoming ill.  You will have to provide a complex environment and a large cage for your parrot if you want it to be happy.  Large parrots do NOT enjoy just sitting on a perch all day. 


Large parrots are affectionate and lively companions.  They are also messy, noisy, animals who will often caress their owners but bite strangers.  They can sink into what passes for depression if they are not cared for or if they are given to a new owner. 


All in all, sharing life with a large parrot can be a blast

Bird lover to the max!
I am an obessed bird lover!
Started with one cockatiel 7 years ago, fell in love and gradually got three more. I have 2 Australian Bourkes and 3 parakeets. Advice I can give you is get or subscribe to BirdTalk or Birds USA. I know these magazines are not widely available, but if you can, they are a great resource. The thing you have to keep in mind is the time you will have to spend taking care of a larger bird. That is key. Birds, especially the larger ones, require a lot of interaction and attention. I do a lot of reading about birds because I find them fascinating. Avian behavior studies are really only 20 years old, and what is being discovered is fascinating. They are much more intelligent than was previously thought. They now know that birds actually do understand at some point, they understand context. This explains how emotional they can be. Getting a large bird is a commitmentfor life. Birds feel emotion, and a bird can actually die of a broken heart if left alone too long, become destructive, or develop feather picking. It is a commitment one has to think about before getting a large parrot. Also, you may just surf the web for information. There are lots of websites, none of which I can think of right now! Good luck to you!
passions lover too
I love Passions too! But wow some of the events are so ridiculous...You really have to suspend your disbelief for that one! And that Theresa just needs to be locked in a closet somewhere but she is the is the perfect meany "wife" for the awful Alistair Crane...
I was a PRD/WP5.1 lover, and you can switch...

You can switch your PRD entries to ShortHand and then use with Word. Shorthand runs you through the process, no problems.


 


Pet Lover said nothing about dogs sm
having bad days. I said that and it was a general remark. It had nothing to do with growling or biting. Perhaps you could go back to the posts and sort out who wrote what.
I'm a lover of WP 6.1 but changed
over to Word 2003 about a year and a half ago. I still have all my disks for WP 5.1 and 6.1 but hate to let them go! If you haven't found what you need, you might give this site a try. I was in communication with this lady a couple of years ago but she couldn't ship to California.

hth!
Religion is an outdated notion created centuries ago
and has no place in today's society.
Can an expander be created in Shorthand while typing the document?
Or do you have to get out of the document and make up the expansions?  When you download it from the website, do you get any instructions along with the program?  Any other info would be appreciated. 
Not all 8 cents a line situations are created equal sm
I am coming off a job using Extext and going into one using ChartNet. I have used Smart Type for over a decade and for Chartnet I have to go to Instant Text. I am able to do over 200 lines an hour after about a week at the new job. I will get to 300 again in a month or so. I say again because I have not done that much in a long time.

Extext...I loved it when I first used it, but after 18 months I can't get above 170 lph and that is with echoes and normals with lots of free lines, and that includes dozens of normals and report shells I have made myself. It won't get better and that is poor pay at the 8.5 cpl base rate, but then again I always have bonuses of a couple of kinds and shift differentials...but I can't do better than 1200 lines a day with any consistency, not in 8 hours a day.

I work a job in MedRite. Like Extext, it is a Word client and rather similar. Top rate for MedRite is close to 300 lines an hour on a horrid account with 80% PLUS ESLs. It is just a faster platform.

Enter ChartNet...never used it. Had to switch to Instant Text...never used it. I have been working about 5 days on it and I can do 200 lph and only one doctor so far who throws me for a loop when I can't do that. She is not an ESL, but a slurring motor mouth who skips around and forgets what she is doing on the phone in the first place.

The Extext work has been 90% OP notes, my specialty. The others are all the basic 4, and I have to say that I went from clinic for many years to OP notes, skipping the rest in between. I have very little experience in DS, CN and H&P notes, VERY little time with those. I'd be faster with them if I had done more of them before.

Part of speed is the expander, part is the platform and part is you. It doesn't matter how great you are as a typist and how perfect your expander, if the platform isn't very good you can't make money at any line rate. If the platform is good, but you are not Expander savvy, you won't you make it either. You can, however, be like me and a poor typist with a great expander and a decent platform...and STILL make money. LOL

In MY experience, the largest problem with making more money is the expander GLOSSARY, not which program you choose. I have heard some of the craziest stories about how to use an expander while on this board...ridiculous, wonky, time wasting, counter intuitive toro pu pu!!!! If you are struggling with an expander FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME. I am happy to spend my time helping anyone who will genuinely give my methods a shot.
If you are an animal lover - then please don't take Prempro - sm
I worked in a gynecologist's office for 8 years. It was beyond dispicable when the Wyeth drug rep would come in. This was at the time when TV shows were always doing the "hidden camera" things - and of course, the pregnant horses, abuse, catheterizing, etc. This also came at a time when drug reps were no longer allowed to use company money to take docs on trips, expensive dinners, theater tickets, etc. Needless to say, our Wyeth rep made a bundle off of Premarin and Prempro and to make up for all the media hype, she was going to all the gyn docs and sending them on trips, spa packages for their wives, nice dinners, etc. And the docs kept prescribing it.
Dell lover here too for reg computer...sm

I have several friends who use Averatec laptops and swear by them.  I, too, am a DELL lover and I never use their tech department anyway, even when the tech dept was still in the USA.  I have 2 computer people who help me when and if I need computer help/fixing.  I think the Averatec runs around $600 but I'm not sure today.


Wow--so similar. Extext lover. sm

I use ExText too and I love it.  I don't use ESP though since I already had a lot in my Shorthand, but if your account is like mine it might just be so many doctors. I can't even count how many doctors, residents, etc., there are, and I have loads of phrases not just words.  I have a lot of the doctors' physical exams in my expander, etc.


Now, I used to have an account for another MTSO where I got the same 4 or 5 doctors every single day.  I worked about 5 hours a day and my paychecks were easily 2500 every 2 weeks as an IC, but I haven't had anything like that in years!!!  That wonderful account got sent overseas.  Go figure!!


A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
No "O-Lover" but don't care for conspiracy theories either.

I'll let you off the hook since you're also a Mustang lover.
I just like the '67s and '68s better because they're a little bigger and more rounded in the body style than the earlier years.  I dreamt of owning a Mustang for 20 years before I got one.

I am not a Dell lover. My Dell has been
a lemon.  I just replaced mine with a Toshiba Satellite and I have seen a few others here recommend this.  Dell's customer service is in India.   The only thing I dislike about my Toshiba is that because it also has a number keypad the shift key is in a different position than I'm used to and I end up deleting and retyping when I use the laptop keyboard.  I normally use an external keyboard, but I travel a lot and try to work on the road and just don't have space for an external keyboard.    
Looking for friend
Hundreds of people are coming into Alabama and Florida away from NO and Mississippi. Go to www.nola.com (Times-Picayune newspaper in New Orleans) and look for message boards. Local papers and other shelters are posting names. Still waiting to hear about family members from Gautier, Long Beach, and Gulfport, MS. Hope you hear from her soon!
To "a friend"
I wanted to personally thank you for your opinion and also for putting yourself out there for me. The serious physical abuse for me happened mostly while I was pregnant (both times)with his children. He had not touched me in three years until two weeks ago. I am aware that I am in a volatile situation and I am doing something about it. I just needed to reach out today for some comfort and support. I feel I got both. I'm sorry I opened the door for people on here to hurt you. That was not my intention. Thank you and big hugs for paying attention to me. J.
Same here. Have a friend who is
a biller who is the same way. We all work at home and have very little people contact. It makes you a little agoraphobic. I have to run all my errands at once, or I will not do them. All the MTs I know are the same way. Can we get disability for this?LOL
Tell your friend
She can go online and change the settings on her bandwidth from the Vonage site.  We had some problems and found out it was our cable modem.  The strength of the service depends on your internet provider as well.
