you are so right, but the book I prefer to open is the Bible (sm)

Posted By: chuckle on 2005-07-07
In Reply to: get a life, this is extensively documented. Pick up a book some time, ignorance - ain't bliss my dear

and I don't pretend to know it scripture for scripture, but I do now that somewhere it says something about soothsayers and psychics and such are a thing of evil and anyone proclaiming to know the future is of evil. So, I prefer NOT to educate myself on things of evil, we have enough of that forced down our throats everday!

    Stedman's M&S Equipment Word Book is my bible. nm
    .
    I prefer book for drugs.
    I use the Quick Look Drug Book and it has worked well for me.

    Google is where I start my search for other medical info and it has been remarkably useful - may even discontinue purchasing more books.

    But the drug book will not likely be replaced as it also has the generic and dosage information right there, which I have needed on many occasions; it is faster for me to use the book. Just a personal preference.
    Drug book vs. CD version, which do you prefer and why? Thanks. nm
    x
    I prefer QuickLook for a drug book or

    either Drake and Drake.  I don't know anything about Gregg's, but I think HPI are a waste of $$ and Stedman's is probably the most popular.  There is also Dorland's, thought I don't know anything about those either.


    Yes do check the classified board here, www.half.com, or e-bay.   You should be able to get books for a fraction of new, especially if you get an older version.


    What books you need will depend on the type of work you do.  If you only do clinic work, just something like Sloane's Medical Word book might be all you need, in addition to a drug book.  If you are just doing one specialist then a Stedman's book of that speciality would  probably be all you need in addition to the drug book. 


    If you don't see what you need listed on the classified board here, post a wanted ad to see if you get any response.

    Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error

    //
    Exactly where would that be and what Bible do you have?

    why, because they don't KNOW their Bible
    which says it is good for ALL to marry, to avoid fornication, not to mention the perverts that go into the priesthood because they see it as an opportunity for abuse, by the structure of secrecy.

    Living God's plan is not repressive, for 'the Truth shall set you free'. Satan will use you up and then spit you out when he's done. Chose whom you will serve, for you will either serve one or the other, God or Satan. As for my and my household, we will serve the Lord.
    bible
    I dont read your bible because I dont believe in your bible or religion.
    According to the Bible ...

    Proverbs 24:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if  thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.


    Yep, that's what it says - King James Version.  The word "beat" translated from Hebrew means to strike lightly or severely. 


    The BOS is not the MT Bible...Unfortunately,
    too many have bought into it and believe it is the ultimate authority on anything grammar/format related. IT IS NOT!

    It was written by some who have decided on their own to change many age-old rules. The second edition revised and reversed info from the first edition (and, yes, the BOS says I should use "1st" and "2nd" rather than spelling them out).

    Thankfully, MOST doctors prefer basic grammar, punctuation and format rules and are not even aware of the BOS, let alone the AAMT.

    Those who tell you otherwise are either misled or uninformed. There will be a third edition soon that will again reverse and revise . . . it's all about making money.

    Stick to the basic rules you have learned throughout your life, and you should be fine . . . unless you run into a duped QA person.
    the BOS is not our bible and many of us...nm

    Not sure what Bible you have...
    but mine says nothing of women in dresses only, only men working, women having long hair, etc. There are a sector of believers in my community where women only wear dresses, but high end clothes, their hair stays long, but it is really staylish, and they do work outside the home, in high positions actually. A lot of people take the Bible out of context. Jesus does not speak lowly of women at all, women were held in high esteem in their community and were given postitions of leadership in the church. A good book would be "What Paul Really Said About Women" by John Temple Bristow. This is a great eye opener for a lot of men as well who are taught to believe that women are somehow inferior to them.
    The Bible says....
    heaven and h-ell are even lowercase in the Bible.
    How do I get it ST to open when escription is open?

    Not everyone who follows the Bible is Catholic!!!
    I wouldn't know about that.  I'm not a priest nor do I have one. 
    How can it be against the Bible when it wasn't even
    invented yet?  You're saying that people who read their daily horoscope in the newspaper are against God and the Bible?  It's not like we're smoking bidis, sniffing incense, and visiting the palm readers or fortune tellers.  Entertainment purposes.
    Please read YOUR bible.
    I believe you might run across the saying Just Not Lest Ye Be Judged?
    Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..

    Does anyone use both.  I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both.  I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know. 


    I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions.  I can handle that.


    I say HA HA! Why not read the Bible. That is all you need to know for your life!

    Not living in sin? Isn't homosexuality a sin according to the Bible?
    Married or not.
    careful ... the Bible says it's wrong, too! so
    lol
    sorry but the Bible isn't ignorant, dear.

    might be careful of that violent tendency as well, all that hammering on someone's head.

    besides, everyone here is entitled to their opinion.


    No bible? No wine? Wait......
    I, for one, choose death!
    bible thumpers. god save us.

    Ouchie! I think it's a Bible bump!

     


    I have a lump on the back of my hand right in the spot where ganglions appear.  My father called them Bible Bumps because the doctors used to whack them with a large book such as a bible to break them up.  This thing hurts like heck and my whole hand feels kind of stiff.  Has anybody ever had one of these?  I'm going to make an appointment to see about it but I've typed so many orthopedic reports I'm pretty sure that's what it is. 


     


    Not according to my NIV bible. It says even if you have lustful thoughts, they are considered sin.

    I'm not in the Bible Belt, o judgmental one, unless you don't know geography either. Another r
    that is, if there isn't a good rerun of "I Love Lucy" on at the present time!

    LOL
    Maybe you should both get your nose out of the bible and live the life He gave you...

    For goodness sake, if you're going to drag the Bible into it
    you might read the part about man being created separately in God's image. In the Old Testament, there are distinctly different punishments for killing a man and killing a beast. Now, no doubt God loves animals and they will be in heaven, but I can assure you, God has not created man and animal on the same level.
    Following the bible is a form of repression. Why do you think priests sleep with little boys?

    The bible also states it is okay for fathers to sleep with their daughters. You are limiting

    To the poster below who equates the BIble Belt with political views
    USING TWO COWS TO EXPLAIN. . .

    A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. Then you covet it.

    A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his.

    A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. Barbra Streisand sings for you.

    A REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So?

    A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.

    A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage which ultimately blows up the cows.

    CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

    DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

    BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.

    AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts that you have reduced your expenses. Your stock goes up.

    A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch. Life is good.

    A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.

    A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.

    AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good.

    A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. You produce your 10th, 5-year plan in the last 3 months. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.

    A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge for storing them for others. If they give milk, you tell no one.

    A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows. You expropriate them. The American corporation goes chapter 11.

    AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.

    :D

    On my way to a Bible study. When I arrived, the other gals there had no idea what had happened. sm
    I couldn't even find the words to explain - it was a little after 9. I was listening to, like the poster below, Bob and Sheri (on my way to Bible study - go figure) and Bob and Sheri were in a mood I had never, ever heard before. Very solmen. Describing word for what what they SAW. I didn't even know they were in NYC.

    Anyways, I had to pull over as I started bawling. My younger son had taken an accompanied minor flight just a few days prior to that out of Dulles, so this hit quite close to home.

    Anyways, we heard while in our Bible study (we decided to meet and pray for our country) about the other flights, but not flt. 93. We heard about that when our local newspaper (a giant) had people walking around McDonalds handing out FREE newspapers around 12 o'clock with pics and everything. The last time that newspaper did that was probably after JFK got shot. We were all scrambling for a paper which I still own to this day.

    I remember my 9 year old son reading it in his room (I left it out like a dummie) and he cried like a baby for all those people on those flights who died. The WTC accident got to him the hardest. He still talks about it to this day. Tragic.

    I don't know about you, but I do fear another attack like this again. It's hard not to.
    Oh yeah. I got a brand new, leather-bound amplified Bible for like 5.00. nm

    The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

    Tessier, Dorland's dictionary, BOS, and my very fave I think is now out of print but called Spellright by Rice.

    I prefer IC . . .
    simply because of the flexibility. I don't want to feel chained to my computer. To me, one of the reasons to work from home is the freedom it provides. I also find I have a lot to write off at tax time and have never had a problem tax-wise. I don't need the benefits and don't want the company control that comes with being an employee.


    Neither...I prefer
    my taxes to pay for defense of this nation, protection of its citizens through federal regulatory agencies, police, fire and emergency rescue programs, libraries, public schools, educational assistance for anyone who needs it, assistance for those who cannot help themselves, drug and medical research, paved streets, streetlights, utilities, assistance for new business startups, and few other oddities.
    How would you prefer - sm
    Wondering if you have any suggestions for a better way? What would make it easier for you?
    ME vs MT WHAT DO YOU PREFER

    and why.


     


    I prefer only the ................NM

    I prefer
    by far short reports.  Doing long reports, well, I just feel like I'm being held hostage, KWIM?
    I much prefer sm
    to work for a company and let them hustle up the work, provide the system and equipment, and get paid by the line. Maybe if I were 20 and not 60, but I find that by getting your own accounts, you lose a lot of money.  I prefer transcribing fast, and being paid for just that.  No setup.  No delivery or pickup.  No office managers to deal with.  Pure profit all the way.
    I prefer IT.
