heaven should be closed to most IRS agents

In Reply to: My IRS nightmares - Frustrated

As soon as possible, talk to an attorney who specializes in this. Ask them if you can file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In many cases, you can ultimately pay up to 10% of a past owed date.

While this is being haggled in the courts, you can send money, or not. You will have the protection of the federal government, who will handle another branch of the federal government.

Just never miss a single payment to the courts.

insurance agents do this

as well as doctors and others.  I agree that a business has more value if you are talking about an office with equipment and established client base.  My insurance agent retired last year and sold his business, which was essentially just his client list and their accounts since he ran his business out of his home.  No idea what he sold it for, but I got a letter telling me about the exchange.  There is the risks there that the clients will choose not to stay with the new agent, but many do like me who doesn't want the hassle of looking for a new one.  But I think it is a little different in your situation.  You probably have a contract with your client, which insurance agents don't have, and whomever you sold your client to would most likely have to make a new contract, which the doctor may or may not want to do with someone you just bring it.  Then again, big MTSOs sell off their businesses and it all seems to work out, so maybe it would for you, too. 


Insurance agents

They are somewhat different as your insurance coverage is with a larger company and they only act as the agent and get a commission.   When your policy comes up for renewal that insurance agent gets a commission from that company.  But your actual business is with the insurance company.   One of the companies that I subcontracted with sold out but again they had an office, machines, computers, etc.  They also did not let the clients know that it was being sold to new owners for at least six months because they were afraid that some clients would pull their accounts.    But they had the same people working.  But with a small MTSO we rarely have contracts, on a month to month.  One of mine does stipulates that I do not subcontract out and if I were to quit they would find their own replacement -- it is verbal but I would abide by it.  That is how I got it.  But she is talking about a business work probably a couple of thousand a month income if that, and she is not selling anything tangible except for a client who may or may not chose to stay, I would not go for it.    I like better odds than that when gambling.   Again, that is why I suggested subcontracting for a while to see how everything works out.


 


 


 


Found this regarding smothering agents..

Can you use mayonnaise, butter or vaseline to smother head lice?
Like olive oil, mayonnaise, butter and vaseline are smothering agents. However, unlike olive oil, these substances are difficult to get out of the hair, particularly in the case of vaseline. Children are often repelled by the smell of butter and mayonnaise and both these substances can turn rancid, and cause problems if children suck on their hair.

Mineral oil (including baby oil) is not recommended because it can be harmful to mucous membranes.

Olive Oil is the best smothering agent. It has been lab-tested and found to be effective in killing head lice. Olive oil has few, if any, allergic properties and is relatively inexpensive. The least expensive grade - pumace or restaurant grade - is best. And olive oil can be purchased with food stamps.

Smothering head lice is a safe and effective treatment option, but it can be somewhat complicated. To smother successfully, you have to be persistent and know when and how to apply the smothering agent.

I am really going to miss it too! I love 7th Heaven!

Hard to find good shows the whole family can watch. We will miss it.
I would be in heaven
Lordy, I would be so thrilled if I could make 200 lines an hour! 
Our refineries are closed
Our refineries to make gas are located in the gulf coast area. They were evacuated by the major oil companies on Saturday and Sunday and now they are caught up in the same damage as everyone else. Long lines and high gas prices because no one is currently manufacturing gasoline to supply those of us east of the Missippi, making what we have left from before the storm quite precious.
closed captions!
I put the TV on mute, but with closed captions on while I type. I hear with my ears, but read the tv with my eyes. I amaze people with this - and have been doing it for a decade!
closed caption
Thank you very much for the info.  Guess I'll stick with my MT career....but may still look into other avenues.  :)
closed pneumothorax?
Closed pneumothorax is air entering from the lung. Open pneumothorax is air entering from the outside.
This thread is closed. (sm)
I do want to comment that it is not being closed due to comments by the original "Mary" poster. It is, however, being closed because of everyone else's responses.

If you don't like the direction a thread is moving or disagree so strongly that you cannot make good contributions to the subject matter at hand, simply refrain from posting. It will die down, take a different direction, etc.

A thicker skin needs to be grown here. Everyone has their own opinion. It doesn't mean everyone will always agree. Threads can even get intense but they don't have to dwindle to personal insults.

Why in heaven do you even have to "ask" him? - sm
This is a tool of your trade.  If your husband were a carpenter and needed a saw, would he ask you?  I can assure you he wouldnt. He would just run out and get one.   Just go get one for goodness sake.
Kevin is heaven?
If kevin is heaven then.....aw nevermind...lol

good voice but do we really want a nerd to represent America???


I'd rather just pay the money and go to heaven.

Do you work in heaven?
Man, I'd love a job at home with full benefits. Not many of those around here (Los Angeles), if any at all. If the company I
previously worked for at home had those, I never would have gone back to the word-factory of in-house transcription! Consider yourself very blessed!
For heaven's sake! It's not THAT bad!
You can go to CareerStep, one of the "top 3" schools for about $1,600, and if you work at it you should be able to finish it in 9-12 months. As for purchasing equipment, you'll get a foot pedal with your course and Express Scribe (the software you'll use to actually transcribe) is free. You will have to buy a few reference books and some fairly cheap software--that all shouldn't run you more than $400-$500, tops. I'm assuming you already have a computer, or else how could you have posted this note?

Now, there are jobs being taken over by software and being outsourced to other countries. And there ARE doctors who dictate TERRIBLY. But there are still some decent jobs out there and decent doctors as well. If you work at it and sell yourself well, you should do okay. Good luck!
well for heaven sakes, huh FUN FUN FUN

I need to watch now, getting a bit weary of so many this-and-that contest though.  Awaiting return of Dancing with the Stars though. Loved it last time, so fun fun fun.  I've seen Alicia Keys on Leno, brought back two in quick time, she played piano and say.  She is good and so young, so many of them are so young and really have talent too not just a lot of loud hoopla of this-and-that. 


How exciting for you both.  


For Heaven's sake... don't do what I did!
I accepted a position with another company, turned in my resignation when I received the acceptance letter from the other company.  Friday will be my last day on the job, and I have not heard from the other company as to downloading software on computer and my first day is supposed to be Monday.  My employer has already hired someone in my place, so I can't ask for my old job back. The past several days I've sent out about 5 or so resume's to various companies.
And for heaven's sake....

don't dictate in the bathroom.  That's waaaaaay more than we want to hear!



Maybe, Live Help Closed is in caption (nm)

IMO, a thread is closed when it is obvious
that nothing new is added to the OP and it deteriorates into a 'troll', unjustified insults, foul language and just tit for tat, going in circles.

True, as the moderator pointed out, it is not moderated for 'niceness.' but the post has to be civil. One can make a stronger point with politeness than with disrespect.
I am considering CART or closed captioning..
But I wonder that after transcribing for so many years, will my fingers be able to learn the theory needed to use the equipment. I would like to do the real-time captioning, as from what I have read, pays the best. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge or know anyone in this field?
For heaven's sake, where is your lawyer?
Your divorce is final in 2 weeks, and you're asking this super important question to MTs on a message board? PLEASE ask your lawyer.
At-home MT about 10 years ago...it was heaven...
I had no complaints about MT-ing really...worked from home, made lots of money with no worries or pressure, worked the hours I pretty much wanted so I could enjoy my 'real' life, it was the best job I ever had ~

I quite miss it
Oh for heaven's sake...if she knew how to...
do that, she wouldn't have a question!  Anyway, what platform do you use?  Most of the time you will find a folder in the "My Documents" folder or in the hard drive (go to "My Computer" and click on your hard drive--usually C:) by the same name as your platform.  Inside that folder will be your templates.  When you get there, you can press Ctrl and F together.  A screen will come up asking what you want to search for.  Click "All files and folders".  Where it says "All of part of the file name:" put "*.dot" (without the quotes).  This will find all of the templates within that folder.  Hope this helps. 
"edit my reports with eyes closed"? what has that got to do with anything?
i don't live in a cave. i have a circle of local friends and family. i don't need an e-mail from a supervisor from gawd knows where to tell me i'm doing a good job. i'm doing a good job as evident by my paycheck twice monthly and my friends who want to spend time with me.

Now about this phrase - "I've been doing this over 10 years, independent and believe me I could probably edit your reports with my eyes closed my dear" WTF is that all about?
"edit my reports with eyes closed"? what has that got to do with anything? -
What are you rambling about about and could you PLEASE address the question asked of you in my TWO posts.

"edit my reports with eyes closed"? what has that got to do with anything?

WTF does this mean?
that was a judgemental and closed-minded comment

I closed my Delta Skymiles account. I won't fly with
them any more. Besides that, they tried to kill me and about 200 other people during one flight. Dang near crashed the plane and gave us all heart attacks.
closed captioning and court reporting
You should still consider it. If you are young enough to invest 4 to 5 years of school and entry experience, it may well be worth it. It certainly pays well,double to triple what medical transcription pays. Look into it.
I looked into the closed-captioning thing, and - sm
unfortunately (and quite OBVIOUSLY, if you ever see them in places like the gym, etc.), they are pretty much going to voice-recognition.

It's pretty funny reading all the misunderstood words VR does on TV! At least it makes the nightly news somewhat entertaining!

I had a friend go into court-reporting at the same time I went into MT. She tried to convince me to join her, but I (stupidly) picked MT because I knew I could get a job in only about 6 months while still working, whereas she was a full-time student and said that although you can learn it in a couple years, it takes a few more to really get up to speed, and start breaking into the job market.

So, let's see. That was back in 1975. She's still a court reporter, works when she wants, has good security, makes good money, put her kids through college, etc. And I don't have squat. Now I'm kicking myself for being so short-sighted and impatient back when I had a chance to get into a good middle-class line of work, instead of this __________! (Fill in the blank).
Post makes no sense. They need the closed

it is heaven and paradise all rolled into one-I hope you get to go soon.
Kauai and Molokai are my personal favorites because they are the least developed (that people can visit)
Oh, for Heaven's sake - if you don't like it just don't reply. Grow up.

I hear you there! Heaven forbid if you should ask a question.
I work at a company with a lot of ESL/bad dictators. When I flag something, I never get a response, so I have the same darn flag. I feel like I am risking my job when I attempt to do the really hard dictators. If they would just answer my flag (it is always in the same place), I would not have any problems.
There's a special place in heaven for people like you...
You, my fellow MT, are a diamond in the coal that is humanity.

Blessed Be!
"May his soul rest in heaven."
This was the last line of a death summary I just transcribed.

That's a new one on me....
We closed our accounts before going with CCCS. Have been very pleased with the way they have handle

It is going to be very interesting to see how you people feel once your office is closed and you are
moved into a regional office on DQS and find that there are tons of other MTs on the accounts you always had. It is coming for everyone so you might be singing another song as time goes on. Enjoy it while you can. Time are changing.
Is this Holiday a major one? Clinics and offices closed?

I guess I am out of it.  How big of a holiday is this?  All the kids home from school today?  Post offices and banks closed?  Seems rather quiet work-wise.  Wondering if I should start cleaning the house or keep staring at the no jobs to do in my queue.


Thanks!


closed caption tv typing and court stenographer

You know the closed caption on TV programs, especially the Court TV transcripts....I wonder if those are computer-typed or human-typed.  If they're typed by humans, then any one of us could do a hundred times better, as there are typos all over the place! 


While we're on the subject....I wonder how much money a court stenographer makes, and wonder if it's more of a pain than it's worth.  They don't look very comfortable when they're typing in to their little machines.  Anyone know?


Wow ... 14.5 cpl ... that's great! I'd be in "typer" heaven (reference to my post sm

on the main board - ha).


Congrats :)


I thought I heard the Atlanta office was closed? Was I mistaken? nm

Auto Recovery will not help. She saved over the original and closed the file.

I believe in something.... Jesus. I'm saved and going straight to heaven. No such thing as limbo.

Agreed. I always found them to be a match made in trailer heaven

I've had a sniffler - blow your nose for heaven's sake!

Well your statement sounds equally closed-minded to the one you're arguing with
Where one person prefers to live and why is their own business and no reason to diss someone else's personal choice.
