Good starting point

I looked up aneurysm because it sounded so much like that but wanted to check with you all first.  I think I will go from there.  Once you have an idea and listen again, you can hear it better.   Thanks.

starting as independent contractor/need help!
Subject: starting as independent contractor/need help!

I'm going to be able to return to work very part time since my disability is getting a bit better.  I have an offer to work as an independent contractor, probably not making more than 12 grand per year.


This will be my first time being a contractor and I'm boggled after reading the IRS info on the site.  Do I need to file for a taxpayer ID# or can I just use my Social Security number?  I think I can wade through paying the taxes, etc, but may have an accountant do this initially.


Thank's in advance, Becca.

I know it's a no-no, but I keep changing this around and nothing looks right and am having a brain freeze right now. Without being able to add any extra words how would you type this. I've tried typing out "eight millimeters" but nothing is looking right.

NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain

the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!

Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.

Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.

GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

The doctor is saying the "rest of the review of systems are negative." Shouldn't it be "rest is negative."  ?? Or is rest considered pleural?  Help me, I can't think today!!

Colorectal today...
Subject: Colorectal today...

She has a history of rectal prolapse and had ____water placed and there was some question if the ____water perforated her vagina creating a rectovaginal fistula.


It sounds like he is saying "tertiary" but that does not make sense.  I read somewhere that warm water is sometimes used to reduce a prolapse but I'm not coming up with a word for "warm" even in the thesaurus that sounds like that. 


Thanks for the help!  You all are very dependable!
