why have children if you are going to put them in daycare. When I was going to graduate school and working I became pregnant. I didn't expect my husband to quit his job and I sure enough was going to stop graduate school my six months. My triplets went to daycare and was fine.

I used to be young and dumb but
when I came into some money, quite a bit of it, paid all my bills off. I only have my monthly bills now, utilities and such. It is a wonderful feeling but to the original post, it is here money and really if she wants to burn it, she can.
"How dumb am I" to lose a CD-ROM? Oh, about as dumb as the rest of us. nm

the nerve!
How dare you make a TV show about my life without offering to pay me?

Obviously I am hitting a nerve somewhere
that you are taking offense to my posts. So which one is it, are you fat, ugly, have an acne problem or all of the above?
Struck a nerve, huh?
I just can't imagine any worthwhile MT being offended by what I said. The reason they wouldn't be offended is because they are the ones picking up the slack for these clowns! The losers I referred to are the main reason Indians are getting work from the US! If every American MT went to work every day and delivered top-notch documents, the Indians wouldn't be making a dime off transcription.
FYI, I don't hire Indians as I spend too much time each day fixing errors made by American MTs. Also, if you are working somewhere that you cannot respond to QA and show them where you documented what you transcribed, then I'd say you need to get out because it's a no-win situation and you are at their mercy.
Listen to the nerve of this one!
over and when I stood at the door, not letting her in, she pushed her way in anyway. I told her I was working and she said,"That's okay I will just sit in the chair beside you AND NOT TALK!" Oh, and she did...but her baby didn't, he cried and screamed until he fell asleep and she sat there and looked at me for over an hour. Let me tell you, that will never happen again. Learned my lesson then and there!
People have a lot of nerve.
I am not trying to be rude, but what kind of friend pushes her way into your house just to distract you while you work? What was the point?
Do you think you have a pinched nerve?
Pinched nerves can cause a lot of problems. You may want to call your doctor today. If you had a stroke you should be checked out ASAP. Not everyone dies with a stroke. Some people have them and don't even know it. Good luck.
Hmm, seems to have struck a nerve.
aa
Wow, you really don't like me! I must have touched a nerve with you.
Do you work for the AAMT or are you a MTSO cheating your MTs or outsourcing to India? Or maybe you are one of those holier-than-thou QA people I've railed against? You know, the ones that never make mistakes and stroke their egos by finding mistakes in everything from medical reports to generic posts on a casual message board?
As for my dismally failing blog - um it's just a blog, my own personal soapbox. Nothing more, nothing less. Oh and thanks for reading it.
i've been through that too...ppl have nerve,
i think after 3 years of working from home i have finally taught my mom and my sister to quit calling and asking me to run here and there for them, ....took a while, didnt want to hurt their feelings...but its like...they cant do it becuz they are working...HELLO!!!!!!!!!!
eScription on last nerve
Posted over the weekend and got a response but just wondering, anyone else working on escription that the program is really, really slow, like jerky in the audio and then jerky for you to transcribe if doing straight typing? Had new ram put on and have fast access so really don’t know what else I can do, cleaned up the computer as far as defraging it. Any other ideas?
Some peeps have nerve
Well my goodness...SIMON...how interesting that name should be used for such a rude post...wonder if its a real name or does he wish he were SIMON off of that tele show...you guys know which one I am referring too, or maybe HE is is love with the other Simon...oh who knows...anyway...to point out your ignorance Simon, just because someone does not know the next steps to take in regards to opening a business or whatever the case may be and that person ask questions of others who may know, well that only educates them more. There is never a "DUMB" question. We learn by asking questions by talking and listening to others. You Simon have pointed out the true reality that there are those who assume or dont ask questions or make rude comments to cover up their own lack of intelligence. And you Simon, well you just put your ownself in that category.
One nerve left
"The decision to change the name of the organization from AAMT to AHDI was made by the members of the House of Delegates (HOD). These are volunteers elected by the membership..."
That was smart. You didn't pay anyone to do your dirty work for you, which must let you off some legal hook or other.
"The HOD felt it was important to broaden the name of the organization to include anyone working in healthcare documentation - as many transcriptionists are working in peripheral roles as editors, QA personnel, supervisory and management positions, educators, ..."
...Indian MTs, whose business now supports AHDI management in the manner to which we have become accustomed,...
"etc. Speaking for myself, I haven't transcribed a medical report for pay in at least 5 years, so calling me a medical Transcriptionist no longer encompasses my role. Nonetheless, I am passionate about the integrity of healthcare documentation - and I developed this passion as an MT. For me, AHDI is a better representation of where I fit in..."
...and we definitely needed to relieve ourselves of that pesky restriction to American MTs, which is why we unloaded that dinosaur...
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
well it takes a lot of nerve to get sm
on this board and tell American MTs how things are and how to do things when you can't speak the language or communicate well. You are suppose to be an MT but you can't speak the language? Well I doubt that the documents you put out are very good either! Sorry but this is the reason American MTs don't have MT jobs so you need to stick to your country and your MTs and stay out of giving advice here. IMHO.......sorry I need to spell that out, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!
I agree-the nerve of some people
i bet you spell the peroneal nerve as
=
Must be a grain of truth in there somewhere to have hit a nerve.
!
You'd like to hit a nerve, I'd like to stick to facts
My comments weren't made to bicker back and forth with someone who wants to have a personal war and claim touche' afterwards. They were made of my observations of what I saw with smooth transcription flow. I have no control of your choice to twist them. You know nothing of me, only that you did not like my observations. Call it whatever you will.
The company would have the nerve to appeal
This is ludicrous to say the least. Many MTs are single earners in their homes. I think to do such a thing should be broadcast across the nation. If this is happening, please let us know which companies are doing it.
whatever dolfan. touched a nerve apparently.
don't let the truth ruin a perfectly good Sunday. that is if you actually can absorb the truth of my posts which are probably perfectly clear if one is not so angry they can't see straight like you are at this point. go back to dreamland my friend and stay where it's all comfy and cozy and no one disputes your FINAL WORD!!!!(hopefully)
PS: We all state opinions here and not all of us are "liars" or "trolls" because they don't agree with your opinion. Meditate on that.
have any horseback riders here lost their nerve
after being hurt and got it back again? i have no problem getting on as long as all goes well, but when my horse spooks or something i feel so danged unnerved, which is totally new to me after all these years. does it just take time or should i hang it up?
I think you'll be OK but I totally lost my nerve sm
I switched to riding bicycles LOL (probably way more dangerous since I ride on the road)
yep - maybe your very nice post struck nerve?.
Your question/post was very nice and gentle I thought - and the other poster's response was totally out of whack - perhaps you struck a nerve! *LOL*
Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!! Ignore the trolls....they are all over the web, as you well know. 
Bursitis or nerve impingement. Have it checked out.

I got common plantar nerve neuroma
in my third toe. It bends towards the 2nd toe and if you try to spread the toes, it curves unnaturally and does not bend too well. I used foam spacers for it and it did straighten out somewhat and go partially back into the correct position.
I also get swelling in both ankles and legs plus tingling and numbness sometimes. I have to keep getting up and moving around a bit for that to go away.
Being out of touch is a hazard of our job, but one reason you touched a nerve SM
that you should be aware of so you won't be surprised in future is that "ESL" is also code for bigotry, with in some sad cases the fussing over the genuine problems with achieving an accurate transcription just windowdressing for the real complaint.
Personally, I find the world and its people a fascinating place and love the way the Web has brought it to me in my little rural Georgia office, including the very wide range of attitudes here.
When your neck muscles are strained, it traps the occipital nerve.
I am with you on the "I can't get rid of it, and it kills me." Do some research on peripheral stimulators. They implant them in the occipital region. They stimulate the area with electricity that overrides the pain with a pleasant paresthesia. Plain English: It is like having a G-spot in your head; it feels so good. Another theory is that it changes the ions in the cells. As posted, I am anxiously awaiting mine to be reimplanted. You control the stimulator with a device to stimulate the strength and pulse width needed to cover the pain. It is fabulous!!!!!! Beats pain pills, which I am so sick of now.
never too young
I don't think you are ever too young to be worried about retirement! I wish I had worried about it sooner... you cannot expect a retirement check from any company, but you can do something about it yourself. Go to your local financial institutions and start your own retirement fund - just contribute a certain percentage of your check each time you are paid and no matter how many times you change jobs, keep doing it. It is there for you - you don't lose it just because you change jobs. But you are right to be worrying about your future - more of us should be doing that!
ah, to be so young...
...as to have never used tapes -- what a lovely feeling that must be!
Yup, and all those happy rabbits and cats think WE'RE gonna feed them. The nerve!
And no matter what we say, they'll just keep on having baby after baby, just like animals!  The unfairness of it all! What will become of us all?
I'm sorry but i think you are too young to be on this board!

Smart Young Man
Your son sounds like a very smart young man. Not many kids these days truly care about their education. They look at high school as a party/social time, and dont look into the future what so ever, and said thing is a lot of our children are not getting the guidance from home either.
My son loves to learn and loves to be challenged and with him being home schooled we are able to do so.
And one other positive note on home schooling college intrance exams have shown that home schooled kids are just as smart if not smarter than those who go to public or private schools. The one on one they get is a big big factor in that.
Best of Luck!!!!!!!
I don't see a problem if someone does it once because of (1) young age, - sm
(2) circumstances...this girl has no clue who the father is, that is clear, (3) where they are at in life...in school is no time to have a baby. She would possible drop out, not have anything but a high school diploma for the rest of her life. How do you support yourself and a baby on $15K a year? Does she have understanding parents? Will the father pay support?(she'd have to have all the guys she slept with in the time period of conception tested). Someone that that young is not cut out to have a child....I can remember very clearly how I was then, and many are just not ready for the responsibility. Yes, many see abortion as shirking your responsibility because "you play you pay"; but you have to decide what is good and right for you and your circumstances, and the only one who can make that decision is the person who has to bear and raise the child or deal with their conscious if they decide to get an abortion. It's nobody's business but theirs. I think people who purposely don't use any form of BC then just get abortion after abortion because they are too lazy to get BCPs or condoms are WRONG for doing that. But people who are (1) stupid one time (2) get raped (as my roommate was); (3) just too young, i.e. in their teens, very early 20s--- have 1 pass. If my daughter came home and was in HS or college and said she was pregnant and wanted an abortion I would support her decision. I plan on drilling it into my kids heads never to have sex w/o a condom though and hopefully they will never have an unwanted pregnangy. I suppose you think my thinking is screwy and that is fine, everyone is entitled to their opinion, that is what makes the world go around.
Wow, mine was young...
I got my daughter's ears pierced when she was 7 months old. I think I was 5 when my mom got mine pierced, and then I was 12 when I got my second holes.
Very young on both daughters - sm
Two weeks old on first daughter. One week old on second daughter.
Your young age is showing!
I remember the dictabelt, we had to mark it with chalk to know where to start it up. Talk about archaic! The times they are a'changin! (and for this part - the better!)
I don't know if you mean too young or too old. Companies
cannot legally ask you how old you are. I quess they can get an idea of age based on work history though or if you put educational history on resume. I'm nearly 50, but when I answer the phone I frequently have people ask to speak to my mother. I've been offered a position with every company I've ever applied to.
You don’t sound too old with a young kid
but in my town we have a consumer person (who is a millionaire but well known to be really tight with his money), anyway he was talking about a place where he buys his glasses and only pays about $8.00 for them and these are prescription glasses. I used to wear glasses, had Lasik and now 20/30 in both eyes- in about 2001, I think. For close up work such as newspapers or books, I go to the dollar store and buy the $1.00- This is for me, not saying everyone can do this. I see no sense in paying $200.00 for a pair of glasses when you can get them much cheaper.
Young man, listen up.
Your a very intelligent person and you seem really mature to the world. Inside you feel like you are crumbling, I completely understand that. Remember ther is always a tomorrow and always something better out there. If you are not happy doing the work that you are doing, its not the work, there is something holding you back. You definitely need to see either a therapist or a TRAINED medical profession to talk about this with. And don't wait, do it NOW. So many times people wait and it becomes too late. You are going to be fine and God will help you through any challenges you come across. If the physicians give you medications, take it. If it has side effects, don't stop taking it, call your physician and he can put you on another medication that does not have those side effects.
This is going to be a very long and very rewarding process and you will start feeling better about yourself. Don't give up and don't listen to people who just tell you to suck it up and get a job. Obviously they have been so lucky to never have experienced depression before. I pray that you will only have the best of luck in all you do.
working with young kids
I have been working at home since my first child was a day old and all I can say is you get used to it and so do they since they don't know any different. I think it would be harder having them a bit older and then starting to work at home. I took short breaks for feeding but worked during the regular work day other than that, just had the baby lying on a blanket next to my chair or in a bouncer seat or sometimes on my lap, and as he got older he started playing next to my desk. The second time around I had twins, and well, that was a bit harder, but I fed them both at the same time and put them on the same feeding and nap schedules to maximize both work time and my sanity.
Ya do what ya gotta do.
I was 18--so very, very young! Still married though after 31 years!
Oh, to be young again -Mondays all I want to do is crash.
However, I saw a stupid young woman on
television last night talking about outsourcing and she is so stupid. She had that only being 1% of the jobs. She needs a real lesson in this. No way is it only 1% of jobs. I just felt like coming through the TV and smacking her around a few times. LOL. These young do not understand. Maybe they will outsource her job and she will look at things differently.
What was wrong with trying to teach them when they were young?
I learned to dust, wash dishes, clean my room, etc., when I was about 5 years old, and it was part of our routine. Every week our chores would rotate and as we got old, we learned more. Same thing with cooking. You obviously let this go too long but now is the time to change it, not when you have a nervous breakdown.
SADDLE OXFORDS! I was young when I
Lady Bug and Villager were to clothesmakers of my adolesence. I remember the first 'instant poloroid'. You had to swipe the picture with this special chemical and let it dry.
Kikis just young/immature and does not...SM
Patti - give it up...not worth your time or your expertise, nor any of us well-seasoned (decades) professionals, and be sure to take some time for yourself.
Nope! No longer consider too young. sm
Early spay or neuter (also known as "pediatric" spay/neuter) is pretty common now for shelters. It's been studied and found to be safe, and it helps keep shelters from inadvertantly contributing to the pet overpopulation proplem that they're trying to help solve. Not all vets offer it though.
Lots of websites and info. about it if you go to Google and type in "early spay neuter" but here's one:
http://www.tracylanddvm.com/html/why.html
You don't have to wait until 6 months old any more. For dogs, my vet (who is very cautious and took a long time to change his stance that they needed to be 6 months old first) likes to spay or neuter at 4 months of age, because it's after they've had all their shots, yet it's before (with females) they've gone into heat/estrus for the first time (health benefit to that - see above website - don't wait with your female dogs! ;O) For cats, I don't know if they get this same benefit from being spayed before their first heat cycle. One reason my vet changed it to 4 months is because he said he's seeing more dogs go into heat earlier than they used to. (Good diet = maturing earlier, like people? His theory, anyway.)
BTW, and I mean this is the nicest way (not trying to be the spelling police! LOL) it's spelled "spayed" rather than "spade" in this instance. :o)
I work around my kids. Mine are not as young as yours
but even when I had babies I worked before they got up, worked during nap time, worked a little after dinner when DH could watch them. With my last one I put him in a Mother's Morning Out program for 15 hours/week at a church 2 miles from our house for 2 years during the school year. I'm fortunate I have flexible hours that I can do that.
