That is so cruel! You must be having a bad day and I think you should sm
apologize to the above poster. She needs us right now and you are just being plain, well, evil!
If there is something you want to talk about we are here for you too, although it seems you are so hard-faced that you don't need anyone, I bet - or you think you are just too good for "internet help..." Like we women (and few men) don't really have true feelings or families, or whatever you probably think of all of us...That's a shame. There are probably people here who can really help in your bitterness.
Very cruel, not necessary IMO. nm

Cruel?
I don't mean to be cruel, but do you have the skills for this job? Did you take the required courses in transcription? Are you aware coding pays better?

Again, not to be cruel, but spelling is very important, and you misspelled inept, which is a little ironic, because your post is all we have to go on as far as whether you are ready for the huge challenge of getting your own accounts. I've been doing this for 17 years, and I've never considered trying to manage my own accounts.

So this is my honest reaction to your post, and I'm hoping you find it polite, as I intend it to be.


why are some of you women so cruel?
There comes a point where we all kind of need each other, when we realize that for the most part, men are big dumb animals who do not know how to "be" there, which is what we essentially need.  You as a female should be understanding and supportive when another one says how she is struggling as a "single mom."  Women are so hateful towards each other when we're the only ones who make any sense on this planet!  I know I sound like a man hater, but men can only do so much, and for those things I have a plumber and a maintenance man!  Come on what happened to sisterhood!
I'd rather be fat and nice than skinny and cruel. NM

How can you people be so cruel and nasty?
She is obviously trying to do the best for her son, and at this point is trying to figure out what it is.  I'm sure she would discuss this option with the doctor or counselor before she made a decision.  Cruel and selfish, right.  Look in the mirror.
I don't think it is cruel to admit your remaining parent - sm
into a nursing home. Those that think its terrible are just concerned with appearances I think, that and guilt themselves if they ever thought about it. My mom put her mom in a nursing home after she could not care for herself. My grandma actually thrived there. They got her off all her medication and she was felt a lot better, even got engaged to get married again, but broke it off shortly before she died. We lived in PA and her mom in FL. My mom's (adopted) family thought she was such a terrible person for putting her "mom" in a nursing home. My mom's adopted parents did not treat her well at all, would never tell her much about the adoption when she eventually found out about it in the 1950s (smell of scandel somewhere, this was 1935) and my grandparents never really ever wanted children. Needless to say my mom has a less than ideal childhood but she took care and upheld her "responsibilities". Some people take in their parent(s) because they want to make sure the $$$ if there is any stays in the family (or goes to them). I know that is the wheel turning in my DHs brain about his parents, though he says they would never re-marry after the death of the other. His mom has told me she will not remarry, but you never know do you. I think he is wrong about his dad though, I think his dad would do the exact same thing my dad did, i.e. remarry within a year of the mom/wife passing and say bye-bye to any substantial inheritence on a re-marriage. In my case I will "lose" (my husband's thinking) out on about $140K which my husband deeply resents unfortunately. It has caused a lot of distention in the last 2 years between me and my DH that is. I am cool with my dad, it's his life and money; and I have pointed out to him a zillion times that inheritence is a gift, not a right. But yes, to be honest it is disappointing, but as my DH expects to get close to $1 mil from his parents I think we will survive (in a way I hope they disinherit him). Greed can cause all sorts of problems. Along with responsibility comes motive in some cases. I do not want to take in either of my DHs parents, but his fear/greed will induce him to have whichever one is left move in with us probably in the next 5-10 years (they are 76 and 71 right now). Sad.
Shock collars are cruel on animals.
You can teach dogs not to bark without using shock treatments.


Agree totally. I'd like to see an end to rodeos, too. So cruel to animals. nm

That's not cool, however,
we always leave one of us home to pass out candy.  I don't feel right taking my kids out to get candy from all the neighbors when I've closed my  house up and didn't pass any out to their kids. 
Cool, thanks!

Cool, I might do the same (sm)
It is something I love to do and never have time.  The animals at my house like to paint too.
Wow, that is cool!
I wish MY middle name was Lennon, LOL! Yeah, "imagine" what John would have to say about the current state of affairs - I have a feeling he would NOT think 2 kindly of Mr. Bush or the war - remember War Is Over (If U Want It) he and Yoko put on billboards all across the world to end the war in Vietnam? I don't think he'd be 2 popular with the Republicans, LOL!
Really COOL!

THAT IS WAY COOL!

WOW! That's cool!
I always wondered how that works, and how one winds up in Judge Judy's court room? Do they know beforehand or is it like a surprise when they show up at court??? :)
It WAS cool!! (sm)

He filed a claim in Small Claims Court in the state where he was living.  Apparently the staff of these shows watch the dockets and pick ones they think will make a good show because he got a call from Judge Joe Brown's staff who wanted him to be on that show and the next day got a call from Judge Judy's staff who wanted him to be on her show.  He chose Judge Judy because he would not have to travel as far to go to her show.  It was all very interesting.  He did not think so at the time he was going through it - it was very stressful for him - but in the end he was happy with the outcome and glad he did it. 


The point of it is that the show is "arbitration", it is not an actual court of law.  He had to sign papers saying that he accepted the "arbitration" and if he did not like the outcome he gave up his right to recourse in a court of law.  He chose that route because he felt that if he took it to court, though he probably would get a judgment against the defendant, he would still have to collect.  But with JJ, the show paid the judgment and he got a check for the whole amount, tax free, plus $500 for showing up on the show, within 7 to 10 days.


 


WOW! Now that's really really cool! lol
One more question, does the defendant then have to pay the court??? I just find this so interesting :)
Way cool, Boo. Way cool!

very cool - thanks ! nm

It's Cool.

Not the best, not the worst.  Very easy to set up and use.  You may need to fiddle with the settings for speeding up and slowing down dictation, but that's not hard to do.  I'm available if you need help!  I used it all through school and did just fine with it.


Good luck!


Too cool
I think I will really think about this before vacation this year. Kids watch DVD in vehicle anyway!

That is very cool! Thanks!

Ha, that's too cool-Think
I'll try it this summer some beach somewhere! LOL! Thanks so much for the info!
Cool!
Thanks MIMT for the info.  I will be working for a company that used to be called Michiana Transcribers, Inc. out of Osceola, Indiana.  They have merged with MD-IT.  My place of employment where I worked as the in-house supervisor for their transcription department terminated all four transcriptionists' positions, including mine, and are outsourcing to MD-IT (Michiana Transcribers, Inc.).  They have hired all of us to be at-home transcriptionists, transcribing for the same physicians/therapists we have all these years.  We are a little aprehensive to say the least.  Any information on this company would be greatly appreciated.
this is so cool..
thank you thank you thank you

I was looking at keyboards with touch pads, but wasn't too thrilled on the results.

I'm running to Radio Shack tomorrow!  I cannot wait to hear what I have been missing.  Maybe they will give me a raise now for not sending to many QA submissions.  LOL!

I keep a silver vase with flowers in it (not expensive ones, buy a fresh cheapie bouquet each week at Wal-Mart). I have a favorite small gold lamp and a guilded box that I keep my stash of candy in, lol. I do have a telephone and desk calendar/appointment book. I use mainly electronic references so the few books I have are stored on a shelf below. Have a printer stored below and my CPU and Internet router. Really nice leather executive chair. My flat screen allows me quite a bit more room on the desktop.

Overall, very happy with my work space. And NOBODY touches it! LOL

I mean that's cool and all
but if you are going to spell out the drug, get it right! LOL


this is sooo cool! Thanks!
