I wonder if you can copy it from one computer and burn it on a disk so you can have a backup. I will try that and see.

    I dont blame for feeling like that, I would too

    All these ladies are giving great advice.  It seems like you're mind is racing and you're frazzled.  Your situation is stressful, so of course you're in this state of mind.  Get your mind organized, get calm, then you can think your way through this.  I've got HIGH anxiety, and I need to stop and reorganize every so often or else things will fly off the handle bars.  Take a bath with candles, nice music, a glass of something calming and slow down.  Once you have slowed down, and can think logically your kids will see you are in more control and you can formulate a plan for them, and they will listen.  They see you're out of control, so they take advantage of it.  These are stressful times with no money and rising expenses,  but like other posts have stated, don't forget whats really important, and put it into perspective by first taking care of yourself.


    Trying to take a test in Express Scribe and cannot get my foot pedal to work. I dont want to

    now, but you just wait until you have the traumatic amputation. It's not a death. It's losing a part of you. It feels so horrible as to be indescribable. I was wishing I could get married again after a month, just so I'd have something else to think about.


    Of course I got over that pretty quickly, but it sure made me understand why people do that.

    I worked 6:00 p.m. till 2:00 a.m. doing
    were young; that way I was home with them during the day and once DH got home, I would go to work.  My advice is not to do it.  You miss out on too much.  Be there in the evenings with your family and if your MT job dries up, you'll find something else when the time comes.  For now enjoy being able to be home with them.  Insurance isn't everything.

    The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
    score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
    Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the

     reports they listen to quite frankly.

    (good job on "methinks"). I never had an opinion about this till SM

    my friend hit the charts. I know people do it. I never have because I'm just not that much into music.


    High horse or no high horse - you can't just say you're "owed music" because you've bought CDs in the past. You can't say it's not stealing, because it is.


    Now if you don't mind stealing, that's another thing, and most people don't appear to think this is stealing for one reason or another.


    But even if you think record labels are greedy hogs and you resent the amount of money they make when you buy a CD, it still doesn't make rationalizing your theft right. No matter what you say.


    I do a LOT of things wrong. I am so NOT on my high horse it isn't even funny. But I have strong feelings folks working and starving for ten years just to get picked up by a record label, only to have their work stolen. You can call it what you like and you can say I'm not a cool person all day long (I'm really not!) but you can't say you aren't stealing what doesn't belong to you.


    Wait till they steal our information, sell it and
    our identities are stolen. This is not right because if any of us had a choice, we would not want our records of any kind going overseas to be managed or transcribed, etc. I think this violates our privacy big time and should be actively brought to the attention of all the stupid government officials. Wait till they have someone steal their identity or money or whatever. Think they will rethink this. Shame something has to happen to the rich folks before anyone will do anything about tightening things and even if they did enact laws, would these overseas companies abide by them. NOT.

    I just think when the whole population ends up on the street, they won't be able to hide it then. I feel sorry for the generations to come. How would they save anything for retirement. I can't even do that.
    Everyday thing for me. I work till sleepy, then set my SM

    phone not my clock to ring. I get about 5 hours every night, have for years.


    If you disliked Wal-Mart before, wait till you hear this..
    I can't find a link yet, but this morning on cable news they did a story about a "glitch" on their website.  You know how if you click on a DVD title, many websites will say "you might also like" and then they show a list of titles that might be of the same genre or interest as the title you requested.  It's a marketing tactic to get  people to perhaps buy something in addition to what they're looking for.  Well, apparently if you click on The Planet Of The Apes series (original movies) you get a list of movies featuring black actors only *they probably corrected it by now).    Wal-Mart claims it was a computer glitch, but I'm not buying it for a second.  Probably a lone prankster did the links but who knows.  Either way it's baaaaaaaaad.

    I've used a product called OdoBan....I buy it at Sams but it's available at the supermarkets too.  It can be used for a whole lot of odor-causing problems.  I use it for pet messes, and no more smells.  Maybe this would help.  Good luck...I couldn't stand to smell that all day.


    My niece is a product of IVF (sm)
    I remember only too well my sister-in-law's tears as she and my brother-in-law (husband's brother) struggled to have their first child.  Finally, they tried IVF and had their first daughter, my niece and my Godchild.  She just made her First Communion a couple of weeks ago.  They had two more girls after her, both through IVF.  (They are 7, 5, and 3).  I know those 3 little girls are so adored.  Mom and dad are going to be paying that debt down for quite a while, but I know that they, and I'm sure everyone who has gone through the same, will say that it was worth it.
    I would try a product called Out
    It is available in both the pet care and baby care sections of Wal-Mart. I use it for pet accidents (puppy not trained yet) by pouring it directly on the spot after soaking up the spot first, allow to soak a few minutes and then blot it up -- works great that way, but I also now add it in when using my Hoover steamcleaner, and gives a fresh scent to the whole room.

    Armstrong makes a product
    If I remember right from my linoleum days (have tile now), Armstrong makes a product that will strip the floor completely and does a great job at getting rid of any of the imbedded dirt and such so it might work on the yellow stains.  Then you apply the second part which reapplies the shine to the floor.  I had used it to remove embedded dirt on mine and it made it look brand new

    If you purchase a used product online,
    be sure to use your credit card only for the transaction.  That way, if the product is defective, you can file a dispute with your credit card company, and they will recoup your funds if the seller refuses to send you a refund directly.  PayPal has a program in place also to help customers recoup their loss if the transaction took place via PayPal.

    Bausch & Lomb: ReNu appears safe

    Delay announced in 10-K filing; no reason given




    BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Bausch & Lomb Inc. executives are at a loss to explain why some users of its ReNu contact-lens solution have reportedly developed serious eye infections, saying Wednesday that all tests run so far have shown the product is safe and effective.

    But shares of Bausch & Lomb (BOL :

    resumed their move lower, dropping 7% to close at $45.61.

    In a conference call held with analysts, Bausch & Lomb's management defended ReNu with MoistureLoc, a popular eye-care product used to clean, disinfect and store contact lenses.

    "Every additional test indicates the formulation is as safe and effective as anything else on the market," said Ronald Zarrella, chief executive of the Rochester, N.Y.-based company.

    Bausch & Lomb rattled both investors and consumers late Monday, when it announced it was suspending U.S. shipments of ReNu with MoistureLoc due to reports that some users had developed a rare but serious eye infection called fungal keratitis.

    The Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration are investigating 109 reports of fungal keratitis around the nation, but they've yet to conclude that the ReNu product is a cause. It was also unclear how many of the reported cases actually involved ReNu, according to the agencies.

    While allowing that ReNu could be eventually be linked to the infections, Zarrella also emphasized that all testing to date has shown ReNu with MoistureLoc was safe and effective in combating microbes that can trigger fungal keratitis.

    Bausch & Lomb also has been able to test bottles of ReNu solution retrieved from infected users, but found nothing out of the ordinary, he said.

    "As far as theories, there's a lot of them, and we've run a lot of them to ground and come up with nothing," said Zarrella.

    Fungal keratitis is a painful inflammation of the cornea that can, in some cases, lead to blindness. The infection, caused by a fungus found in the environment, can appear as a result of eye injury, improper use of contact lenses or contaminated contact-lens products.

    Zarrella said that FDA officials were currently inspecting the company's Greenville, S.C., plant, where it produces all ReNu with MoistureLoc products for the U.S. market.

    Zarrella also said that the company had no insight into how long the FDA and CDC investigations will take and whether it will eventually have to recall all of ReNu with MoistureLoc products from the U.S. market. At this point, Bausch intends only to stop shipping new product to retailers, not to reclaim bottles already on store shelves.

    According to the company, ReNu with MoistureLoc generated U.S. sales of about $45 million in 2005.

    Analysts on the call voiced concern that the product alert could end up eroding sales of Bausch & Lomb's other eye-care products, which enjoy great popularity with consumers.

    Zarrella responded that Bausch & Lomb intends to immediately embark on a new marketing campaign to promote the integrity of its products, adding: "We're going to convince consumers that our products are safe and effective."

    The executive also announced that it was "unlikely" that the company will file its 2005 year-end financial report, or 10-K, with the Securities and Exchange Commission by April 30. Zarrella repeatedly declined to comment during the call as to why the company wouldn't meet that deadline.

    Instant Text is an inferior product
    The features they promote are confusing, aren't available if you are doing on-the-fly medical transcription, contradict each other and then when you only use it for a PRD type program, you have overpaid for it, and could have used anything else.  Remember the joke when PCs first came out:  "A doctor can learn to use a Macintosh in the time it takes them to get frustrated on an IBM" -- well substitute ShortHand for Macintosh and InstantText for IBM. Could we get some input from Smartype users?  If Stedmans is a great resource for books, how is their speedtyping program? 
    Everyone markets their product that way. Like loss-leaders at supermarket.
    They get people into their stores by give-away prices on one item and hope you continue shopping at their store. It is a marketing ploy everyone uses.

    As far as the GE microwave Walmart ploy, if the buyer doesn't research the market to see if they can get the same GE microwave cheaper, that would be the buyer's problem not Walmart. Stupid is as stupid does and to impulse buy something like a microwave is just plain stupid and/or lazy. Think this through. Been to a sale lately at say Kohls and then saw a full-price outfit you like better than the sale outfit. What do you do? Think Kohls is horrible for doing this? Or smart marketing?

    I think anti-Walmart propaganda has too far and people get caught up in it without thinking every other successful retailer uses the same marketing strategy.
