mmmm.. decisions, decisions...
Vincent D'onofrio (cause I LOVE him), and Gerard Butler cause that accent is just too sexy. We have a doctor here that has an accent similar to that and we all fight over who gets to type him, LOL.
Decisions, decisions
I would go for the cheaper place - because I would be out doing things. I would not pay for the amenities unless I was planning to stay in the condo all the time and sit by their pool.
The guys will have no trouble finding a golf course - they are all over the place here in Florida. The condo owners can probably help you with the course fees and tell you which courses would be likely to have tee times available at the time your guys want to play.
Have a wonderful time! Remember, it's rainy season here and you may be holed up in the condo for half the time you're here - so bring some books to read, DVDs to watch, or plan some indoor activities like museum visits, or movies, etc.
FLA-USA - GO GATORS!
husband decisions
Sounds like my hubby. My kids absolutely adore him, but they work for everything they get from him. He must be a bit of a control freak, too. I am really tired of my husband making dumb decisions that I don't agree on and putting us in difficult situations. He gets "tunnel vision" and sees what he wants to see, there is absolutely nothing I can do. He nags me to the point of giving in. He is worse than the children. Then HE gets mad when I get mad,and tries to turn it back on me. He's very manipulative. It's exhausting also, especially the situation you described. Not fair; if she worked for four hours, she should get the same amount as big bro, don't care what she did. I hear you.
Do you ever question your husband's decisions? Does he get mad? (sm)
 My husband got our kids to rake leaves Sunday for about 4 hours and told them he would pay them for it. Son is 10 and big for his age, daughter is 7 and smaller. They both worked hard, to the best of their abilities. I was cleaning the inside of the house while husband was raking with the kids. I went out several times and told them they could take a break if they wanted to and brought them water. He never offers them a break and he got aggravated when I did that. Last night he brought home the money to pay them and gave my son $20 and gave daugher $8. She was upset because she worked hard too but was afraid to talk to him about it. I encouraged her repeatedly to go outside (where he was) and talk to him and state her case, but she wouldn't go. Finally, reluctantly, I went out and tried to talk to him and he was furious with me, as I knew he would be. He said "what are you even doing out here talking to me about this??" He said he paid her what she was worth and that a 7-year-old girl can't accomplish a lot. I told him that the point was she had done her best and worked as hard as she was able. He then started fussing at me about the fact that I had gone out and offered them breaks and said that I was always worried about him "working them too hard" and that is why our son is overweight (adding to that a comment about the size of my rear). I told him that overworking an overweight child occasionally is not the answer to him losing weight. It just went on and on until I was very hurt and upset. Then he walked in the house and told my daughter, "Don't worry sweetheart, daddy is going to give you some more money tomorrow." and acted as if he had intended to all along and wasn't upset about anything.
Also, I tend to look back at decisions I made and (sm)
question whether I made the right decision. I will blame myself for things...but then often when I look back and think through exactly how I came to the decision that I ended up with, I remember how things were at that time, and how I felt, and I know that if I was in the same situation again, I would make the same decision. I bet you would too. You don't seem like the type of person who would make a big decision like that lightly. I am in the process of making a decision about divorcing. I am a Christian and I think I have probably stayed way longer than I should have. However, I have been praying hard lately, and asking others to pray for me, and things have been miraculously lining up and I believe pointing toward divorce. I am not expecting a bed of roses, nor to be rid of my husband, but I am hoping and praying for some oasis of peace in between his visits.
The father has as much rights as the mother to make decisions....sm
about the child, gifts, etc. I know you want what is best for the child but it's really between your daughter and ex-son-in-law to discuss this. Even if your daughter doesn't want this, there's nothing she can do about it other than educate the child about how much candy to eat at once is appropriate.
Med transcription books
 I was wondering if any one could recommend a good drug book. Also, does anyone have any recommendations for a good surgical book? Thanks!
Anything BUT transcription on the Gab board, please. NM

This has absolutely nothing to do with transcription, but I need opinions please...SM
My husband, my son, and my brother-in-law went hunting last weekend. We have two quads and my BIL has his own quad. They got home very late and all the quads were on my BIL's trailer and no one felt like unlaoding them, so my BIL took them home with him (they have two acres). I got a call yesterday saying one of our quads was stolen. I asked where did they have them? My BIL took them off the trailer and put them right next to a small three-foot fence that butts up to a pretty major side street. He stored his own in his garage. In the past my BIL stored his quads on his back porch. Apparently, the thieves lifted the small lighter one up and over the fence. The other one was too heavy so they didn’t steal it. We had insurance on the heavy one, but not the light one. We paid $1,700 for it new about three months ago. Right off before we got an apology or anything, my sister said they won't claim it on their homeowners. They suggested we lie and say it was stolen here at our house and claim it on ours, but my husband and I do not feel comfortable at all with this and will not do it.
My question is what part in all of this does my BIL play for storing it where it could so easily be stolen? I wouldn’t think anything about it if that is where they stored their own, but they don’t. They won't use their homeowners so we are out $1,700. Neither one of them apologized to me or anything until after I had spoken with my mother who then in turn called them and then they called me apologizing. In other words, my mother told them to call and apologize.
I can’t make them pay for it. I know my husband is partially at fault for being too tired to unload them, but I’m just so frustrated regarding where my BIL stored them. Yes, they have had their vehicle broken into on that side street and have had a trailer stolen from their driveway, so they should know better. They also have two acres to store them and the other half of their yard is fenced with a five-foot fence.
I guess we are just out the money and the quad. Unfortunately, we won't be able to replace it anytime soon.
Sorry to vent.
Re: At-Home Transcription Advice
Thanks for your reply! I'm looking to sign on PT with a company on here. I'll just get my computer upgraded and get a foot pedal, head phones, and some books from my clinic job. I'll get started and see where I go. . . By the way, is there a glossary on here someplace where I can look some terms like "Big 4 experience" and "Acute care" or "ELS experience". I just don't hear those terms where I work.

a transcription teacher told me,
"Say you will, and then go to it, that's the only way to do it!" I wrote that in my Taber's 30+ years ago, and still like it :)
I passed around several transcription books -sm
at the beginning of a semester to a class at a business school for the 20+-year-old students to see various TX resources available and afterwards, one book was "missing". I was very surprised. Bottom line: The bookstore was out the book, and I hated the loss for the school. Actually the bookstore was probably out twice for the book if it was afterwards returned to the bookstore for resale by the student who stole it.
I have never in my transcription life heard of this
How interesting though. How did she find out exactly what the cause was, can it be picked up on xray? Mine has been here over a year now and terribly uncomfortable. I think I posted have tried numerous physicians of all specialities and no one has been able to tell me what is the problem. After a year of this pain I would like to have it gone. How did her surgery go, how long was the convalescent period, etc., etc. I find this tremendously interesting.
LOL - sounds like medical transcription in nutshell! nm
