Peanut paying?
Maybe I'm still in the newbie league (3 years in MT) and don't know the score, but I don't consider making over 40K a year with benefits after completing a 14-month online course and 3 years under my belt to be peanuts. I also don't work in a sweatshop environment - I have flexible hours, an understanding supervisor who leaves me alone, and work in the comfort of my own home. I used to work in corporate management - now that was sweatshop!

Easy crab salad on crackers

I don't know if everyone would like crab on crackers, but here is a quick recipe just in case.


1 package of Louis Kemp crab


1 small tub of cream cheese


3 to 4 green onions (using the whole stalk)


In a food processor, chop the crab and onions, mix in the cream cheese, and chill overnight.  Serve with any kind of crackers.


Hope this helps!


Try butter or margarine. sm
Believe it or not, it works for tar, just might work for food coloring.  You never know. Dang kids, do the craziest things. You could always wait until picture retakes.
I need to lose 160 sticks of butter
so I joined dance class. Willing to share my butter for christmas baking.
Hungrily, with lots of butter.
:+
you are lucky...they were my bread-and-butter at my past job...
very difficult at first, and I did NOT want to do them; then found out they were pretty much 'standardized' once you got used to the dictators, they say the same thing. Make templates, normals, whatever.

They are interesting, and I could make tons of lines in no time.

Then, I must have gotten 'bumped' when new managers came in and brought in other MTs, because they took them away from me. Never saw them again after that.

Ended up leaving that sorry job, anyway. Very bad experience...

BUT, those ERs paid my bills for 1 full year until then...

Best of luck.
Hot French bread with real butter, rasberries
with real cream, Belgian sweet dark chocolate and Fritos.  It would have to be my last supper, because it would probably kill me!   Yummmmmmm.
Now that sounds good. With lots of lemon and butter and a baked potato.
Can't just have crab.
haddock fillet fried in butter, Rice-a-roni, green peas
we make more than we can consume so he can bring the leftover for his dinner the next day.
If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal.  The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected.  Many companies will not allow satellite. 
I have tried WW but they had me eating more than i normally do
I ended up putting on weight instead of losing. I ate strictly their food which is totally expensive. I had another grocery bill aside from my family's. I could not stay with them.

They say if you eat 1300 calories that you will lose even without exercise. Bull. you have to work those calories off if you eat them to lose weight.

Horrible experience. I had lost 20 pounds on my own, but then gained 10 back from WW. I am disgusted with them.
I would be too after eating that! LOL
d
You would have to do a lot of hat-eating ...
... I believe. What in the world makes you think you have the monopoly on written and spoken English? If it wasn't so sad that you actually really believe that, it would be laughable.
Yes, but, when they are eating something
I often wonder what it is!!! For many years I was disgusted at these lack of manners. Then, for some reason, my rich inner life and imagination kicked in. The other day, a doc may have been eating a sandwich, I wonder what kind? Chips, I want some too! Crunch, crackle, etc. It sounds good. Whatever it is I wanted to know right then what it was and I wondered why I was not asked by the nurse if I wanted take out too LOL. (Partially sarcastic post, but sometimes true, I do get hungry and wonder what tastes so good...)
Doc eating
Okay, I am instantly angry because, not only am I sitting here editing VR which is incompetent, but I have to listen to a know-it-all woman doc chomping salad in my ear.  Poof Im gone.  How rude and inconsiderate can they be? 
I would rather have the eating
and even that gross snot sucking, throat clearing thingy...than to have to listen to 3000 seconds of hold music. They graduated medical school, why can they not figure out the dictation equipment?
So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm

healthy eating

What are the healthiest fruits and veggies to eat?  I know raw veggies are supposed to be better for you too and that frozen is better than canned.  Any other advice?  Thanks.


 


It's like my mom used to say about eating vegetables:

Chewing gum/eating

One Russian psychiatrist actually ate an entire apple while dictating, and her accent could hardly be understand to begin with.  We're talking right off the boat.


I particularly like someone eating an item wrapped in paper, because then you get both the chomping and the crackling.


And gum chewers (of which I've had several) who slurp, smack and actually crack the gum into the phone. 


lots of water before eating
I haven't tried this myself, but I recently read an article about two very overweight men who lost tons of weight (not quickly, but gradually).  Both exercised every day, starting off with very little and gradually working it up, and one of them said he also drank something like a liter of water before each meal, which filled up his stomach so he got full fast and it really helped him cut back on how much he was eating.  I thought it sounded logical.
Also, eating like a poor person
is not always a bad thing. I do need to lose some weight. :0)
Never said she was big...maybe it is stress, not on an eating schedule, whatever.
Not that she needed to at all; she just did! Sorry!
I'd rather have the eating than the snot sucking
That just grosses me out so badly. Blow your nose for cryin' out loud!
I recently lost 20 pounds. That means I lost 80 sticks of butter.

So while Yuck's mother was eating diarrhea...
she was being molested???  My goodness.  I would be just as sick as Yuck is.  No wonder she is so messed up.  POOR MOLESTED YUCK!
So none of you holy rollers are eating on Easter

GUILTY!!! Im a holy roller but I will definitely be eating too!!!!!

Teenage eating disorders question...sm

Hello,


I'm convinced that my stepdaughter is developing an eating disorder but am having a hard time convincing my husband of the same.  The 15-year-old girl has lost I think at least 30 pounds in the past few weeks and refuses to eat more than a few bites and wants to just drink prune juice to help her poop.   She won't listen to me that you have to eat in order to have something to poop and is obsessed that she's not pooping every day but also says she's not going to eat.  


She was previously overweight but now is what I think is a weight that she looks good.  I'm concerned that she's going to end up ill if she doesn't start eating consistently.  My husband seems to think this is just a fad she's going through.


Any ideas, suggestions, etc? 


I would do research on eating disorders and get some facts.
and not in an accusing way. Also Tyra, Oprah, Dr. Phil, they all have had and will continue to have shows on this issue. If you catch one, tape it and watch it with your husband and then get her to watch it. She may have a low self-esteem from being overweight and needs some encouragement and love. Spend time with her and show interest in things she is interested. I am sure Dr. Phil's web site addresses this issue and gives advice. Is her mother in the picture, and can the two of you talk? If so, I would talk to her. You need everybody on the same page IMO.
Good Luck
Eating their lunch/dinner while dictating
I have a doctor from Croatia who is hard enough to understand with his "ah" and 'um" but when he's crunching carrots in the middle of it?  Forget it. 
I heard you get lung cancer by eating animals.

The lady who sent out e-mail should have quit eating hot dogs all weekend
Instead of sending out offensive e-mails to all of us maybe she should have gotten up off of her lawn chair and quit eating hot dogs all labor day weekend and pitched in if things weren't up to her standards.
DSG was very nice to me, but I left because of the damned DQS software eating all the lines! nm

Since I gave up eating sugar and refined carbs, I don't crave chocolate sm
I gave up sugar and refined carbs in March of 2004 and I don't crave anything "bad" anymore. I actually had withdrawal-type symptoms for a few days though.

I feel much, much better now :)
Not much different than eating French toast with a side of bacon and scrambled eggs w/cheese. nm

Practice eating gross things w/o gagging, learn to do puzzles and amp up physical endurance.
Study and find out what type of profile you may fit under and act accordingly. Quiet low-key people have won and I think they had the ability to read other people (Sandra and the last winner). Then there are the born leaders who form an allegiance with groupies who trust them (Rob). Just see where you fit personality wise and physically and plan ahead.
Yep, when I drink green tea instead of eating junk foods, or if I drink it while I'm exercising,

It is hard but only at first...

I have 2 children and did it with both of them.  I am also a nurse but after trying part-time out of the house work combined with MT-ing to stay home with kids as much as possible, I ended up strictly at home 2 years ago. 


It's not the easiest when the children are infants - but it's worth it once you get past that phase.  I actually used to type with my daughter breastfeeding in my lap!  I had some crazy, crazy days and nights.  Don't expect to get 3-4 hours straight - be ready to get an hour or 2 when you can throughout the day.  It can be frustrating, but once they reach a certain age and are sleeping well you can work at night and during naps.  (My kids did not take to naps too well, so the night was my time.)


Now my kids are 8-1/2 and 4-1/2 and it's wonderful.  I'm finally past the crazy hours and grabbing an hour whenever I can - never at the same time.  (I am fortunate to work for a company that does not require set hours.) I type while they are at school and then on occasion after they go to bed at night.  I volunteer at their schools once a week, coach my daughter's cheerleading team, and am baseball, soccer and football mom.  I had an RN office job part-time about 2 years ago that I loved, but I just couldn't take not being able to be there for their school activities, after-school stuff, etc.  Nothing beats the flexibility of MT-ing. 


Good luck.  There will be smooth days and not so smooth ones - keep in mind how lucky you will be to be able to attend everything you want to with your child - to not have to call in sick when they are, to not have to ask permission to run that lunchbox to school when they leave it in the car, etc., etc.!


hard to say - sm

I sure hope not.  I don't want to think that God would punish many for the actions of few like this either.  Probably purely coincidental. 


The sad thing is that those who demanded that these religious monuments be removed are probably not even from the south but chose that area because of the spirituality and religious folks that make the south their home.  


I personally find the removal of these markings truly abominable.  They are a simple reminder of what this country was founded on, faith, hope, and freedom. 


Southerners are devote and proud. They will get through this with time and help from the rest of us.  This is what American grit really is.  Help from others or no, we have to stick together and pull ourselves up from the muck.
