Orthodox Easter
What a great celebration we have!  Our Easter falls after Western Easter (different calendar).  We take our food to church in a basket and have it blessed, then share and enjoy to break the fast.  The basket contains things that have meaning, i.e. a candle (Christ is the light of the world), eggs (new life), salt (salt of the earth), special bread (breaking bread), kolbassi or ham or both (breaking the fast having not eaten meat for 40 days), cheese (also breaking the fast of dairy product), honey (the sweetness of Christ is Risen),  red beats with horseradish (the bitterness of crucifixion), and various other items depending on what part of Eastern Europe you came from.  It is an incredible celebration. 
Easter recipes sm
It is very difficult for me because my children married different faiths and it used to be that we (before they married) would go to church and then to a restaurant (our favorite) as a special treat for family style soup, salad and main course. Of course, the "new" family had to kill this plan since the other side did not like our Church. Too bad. I started to cook brunch after service which included: Coffee or tea, lots of different juices, bacon, ham (spiral), fried potatoes (home fries), waffles (finally woke up to buying prepared and frozen), lots of syrup, butter, fresh strawberries and blueberries, some favorites of the grandchildren (one liked cantaloupe, another's favorite was my homemade sugar cookies, another liked my peanut butter cookies). I cook for days but it's worth it. Know how I got rewarded? The "other" moms got so jealous, they started to offer "brunch" instead of the traditional dinner (ham and all the trimmings, sit-down style).. I was frustrated at this, but I still try. Why don't people realize that "life is temporary" - whatever works for you. Since someone "stole" my brunch idea, I offer nice foods still, at whatever time their schedule (allows) them to show up; not necessarily breakfast, but some rented "childrens movies" with no pressure. As long as we build it, they will come. However, my brunch was sooooo popular, I'm glad someone "stole" it from me. It's kind of like having MT account "stolen" from you, it's not the same quality, but you have to realize that copying you is a true compliment and you should enjoy it. BTW (by the way) I have a bit of Polish in me, so I thoroughly enjoyed the kielbasa aspect of Easter, I slice it up and cook it first in a little water to get rid of the grease. Then I recook it using currant jelly and slice it, put wooden toothpicks in there and let them munch. Easter should be fun, no matter what religion you are in or out of, "He" would just like you to have fun on His special day, or more especially a family day, never mind what you believe in or choose not to believe in. It's a fun day!!!
Easter dinner
Honey glazed ham, sweet potato soufle, corn, butterbeans, deviled eggs, sweet potato biscuits. Honeybun cake for desert. Yummy~
Passover and/or Easter....*S*....sm
Whichever you celebrate, just want to wish everyone a happy Spring holiday season!!  Passover commences Wednesday 4/12 evening, and Easter Sunday is this upcoming Sunday!!  Enjoy!!! 
Easter Dinner
Hi there...We usually make a smoked ham for dinner with potatoes, carrots and angel biscuits but this year my kids want an Italian Easter. So I guess I'm going to be making lasagna and a side salad with garlic bread. We also make my grandmother's homemade Italian sesame seed cookies, coosidadas and amaretti cookies. Have a great Easter and happy eating!
Hoppy Easter!
Here's hoping a very happy Easter comes hopping your way!
HAPPY EASTER! nm

Hmm, so is Easter anti-biblical?
The word "Easter" itself appears nowhere in the bible because its roots have nothing to do with Christianity:

Easter is a time of springtime festivals. In Christian countries Easter is celebrated as the religious holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God. But the celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that are pagan in origin and have nothing to do with Christianity. Scholars, accepting the derivation proposed by the 8th-century English scholar St. Bede, believe the name Easter is thought to come from the Scandinavian "Ostra" and the Teutonic "Ostern" or "Eastre," both Goddesses of mythology signifying spring and fertility whose festival was celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox. Traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. The Christian celebration of Easter embodies a number of converging traditions with emphasis on the relation of Easter to the Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach, from which is derived Pasch, another name used by Europeans for Easter. Passover is an important feast in the Jewish calendar which is celebrated for 8 days and commemorates the flight and freedom of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The early Christians, many of whom were of Jewish origin, were brought up in the Hebrew tradition and regarded Easter as a new feature of the Passover festival, a commemoration of the advent of the Messiah as foretold by the prophets. (For more information please visit our Passover celebration - Passover on the Net). Easter is observed by the churches of the West on the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or following the spring equinox (March 2I). So Easter became a "movable" feast which can occur as early as March 22 or as late as April 25. Christian churches in the East which were closer to the birthplace of the new religion and in which old traditions were strong, observe Easter according to the date of the Passover festival.
What is your idea of Easter dinner?

Easter Dinner What are you making?
For those preparing an Easter dinner, what are you making this year?
My son's birthday is on Easter this year
he will be 8. On Saturday we are going to have his birthday bash at the bowling alley...he is very excited!! On Easter we will be going to my parents house. They just moved into a brand new, three story home. They sold about 13 acres of land in the city limits of Greensboro, NC. That is a hard thing to come by. The developer will be developing 302 townhomes on the property. It will be very strange to see that when it happens. My grandmother lives with my parents 6 months out of the year. The other 6 she lives in Florida. She's home right now because of the move, so she will be making Easter dinner. I don't know what she will make, but I'm sure there will be ham. Her cooking is so good that it doesn't really matter what she makes though!! Since it's my son's birthday, (and my birthday is two days later), it will also be another birthday celebration...so there will be homemade birthday cake! Can't wait!!
Happy Easter Back To Ya.......
Hope you, and everyone here, have a wonderful Easter.

And, thanks to you Busy for recent help you gave to me and solved a problem I had been worrying with for several months.

HE IS RISEN

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. Happy Easter!

What about where you are?! 


 


 


? For Snow Bunny
Somewhere on the board, I read that you mentioned a website www.productivity.com.  I keyed that in and good a website for some kind of tool manufacturer.    Could you double check the addy for the website - I can use all the help I can get to get my counts up. 
SNOW BUNNY NEED YOUR

help.  Now have involuntary jerking of hands and will be typing and hands just collapse downward.  Is there a program that we can talk into and it will type the words for us?  Please send me an email if you know of such a thing.


Snow Bunny - yes!
All the great classics! You ROCK, Mellencamp or not!
Snow Bunny
I am not on a high horse and I have no idea how on earth why you are so angry that I am happy to have a job for the rest of my working life. My post was merely made to share with others who have not experienced VR yet that it is nothing to be afraid of. Your tirade is completely inappropriate and off the mark.

I work in a very large teaching and research hospital where they dictate over the phone lines - they don't have the time to customize the VR and what we get in this hospital probably isn't as clean as what you get from a clinic or a hospital with a more stable dictating population.

I enjoy doing it and it entertains me to see how the computer prints out things phonetically.

You should consider another user name - bunnies are nice and snuggly - might I suggest Rabid Rabbit?
Okay, I think I know what snow bunny is saying
It doesn't seem like all opinions are welcome.  Someone protested about the fact they do not celebrate Christmas, and then we are bombarded with Merry Christmas all over the place..obviously trying to "stir things up."  Last week someone posted the word "God" in a non-religious tone, someone complained, and then someone posted "God" to try to stir things up, then that one gets erased.  Why are you picking and choosing, I know you're the owner, but as the owner aren't you supposed to be neutral? 
Snow Bunny-I need you....

would you please email me? i was wondering if you could help me with dns, i have questions about dns and working in templates.  it seems that you've had great luck with this product so i was hoping that you might know how to guide me.  TIA!!!!


Snow bunny is the one to ask on this - sm
she uses it and swears by it, but I know she stresss training and a good mic. I have the DVR Medical V.8, but I have been too lazy to train it and use it consistently. Plus I am not sure it would work for me except for a few doctors I do as I would have to do a lot of copy and pasting if I used it (use WP5.1) in WP11. My WP5.1 macros don't work in the WP format even in the blue window which stinks. If I could use them I would use it in a heart beat as I think it would be faster for me in the long run, but this is beside the point. If you do decide to try it buy the right one, the medical one is what you would want. I got mine on ebay for abour $300 (which I resold), then bought the upgrade for $150. So I spent about $200 for my whole set up. So you can buy it relatively cheaply if you look. Good luck.
thanks so much snow bunny-


Thanks Snow Bunny, I'll do that
And yes I do use an ergonomic keyboard, but it just seems the longer I do this, the less I can get done in a day because I can hardly type after 5-6 hours.

I'd eat bunny if it tasted like chicken!
yum?
But would you eat chicken if it tasted like Bunny?
:+ 
yes, Snow Bunny, I don't have a clue what
your point is.  Explain, please.
Me too. Snow Bunny turned me on to it. I use it every day. nm
s
Absolutely correct! Snow Bunny is right! nm

agree wtih snow bunny
Agree with snow bunny. It should be made into two sentences, thereby avoiding the use of "who" later in the sentence, which BTW, should be WHOM.
I've done the same thing, Snow Bunny - sm
I get a copy of MY MEDICAL records no matter where I go and check the transcription, and I will absolutely positively make corrections on them and return them to the doc/office/hospital in person and let them know that if I were looking for a lawsuit and money, this is where I would start, with my medical records! I then ask for a corrected medical report.
question for Snow Bunny...how long would you say
an average MT (15 years exp) would take to learn to do what you do, and still work enough to make money without losing any until up to where you are now...

Thanks, as always, for you input!
Quite frankly I am surprised at Snow Bunny
You have been on these boards long enough to know better. I am very surprised you would say such things in the manner you did. I always held you in such respect. Goes to show, you never really know someone.
Hey Snow Bunny, did you get through the storms okay on Sunday? sm
I hope you and your family are okay.
I agree with "Snow Bunny" Federal govt. sm
Everyone new that New Orleans was pooooooooooooooooooooor
Have you tried the Custom Biz Saver package Snow Bunny? sm
It's through AT&T and it's a business plan. C-phones were supported. I used it for a Lanier when I was IC and I was on it a lot, sometimes 10 hours a day. I had unlimited long distance and never had the problems you are having. Problem is you need to sign a contract for 1 year but even with that it was only $10.00 a month more than a residential line.
Read the archives for extensive posts by snow bunny.
No offense intended, but you probably won't get any new posts on the topic as it's already been discussed in great detail.  I just wanted you to know you're not being ignored.  Good luck with it!  I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks Snow Bunny. Good advice too. Hopefully, with the oil and possibly the Lindane, will eradica

I would have been a hooker at Bunny Ranch (they make $1200/hr). My equipment is obsolete now
