Sorry, 'MT way too long,' my post was not meant for you, it was meant for Wow! Sorry!!...nm

I think I see her outside my window!! ;-) nm

alt printscreen for the window you are in..
just regular printscreen for the whole desktop. THEN. Open Paintbox (or Paint, whatever its called) and do Edit/Paste - then save - best to save as a .jpg, then it won't take up as much space as a bitmap (.bmp) - I save all mine in the "my pictures folder) or you can make one special.
Chickadees at my window...
Strangest thing just happened. A chickadee flew to the window chirping away. He just kept going away and flying back to the window again chirping loudly. I finally went out to add more seeds to the feeder. He then stopped trying to get into the window. I've never seen anything like it. I guess I have been trained by a chickadee. lol:)
Why does my Winscribe window
disappear between every radiology job (and that means at least one hundred times a day)? It falls into the abyss known as the margin. I have to minimize all other windows for it to peek from the corner where I can grab onto it and drag it back into view...arrrrgh
Long difficult day I am having...
I have a chair next to the window
so the furries can jump up and look out when they wish.
No, I didn't mean the suggestion window -sm
I meant I deliberately, because I caught myself, for instance, typing CD for common duct because I forgot that I already had used CD for cystic duct and flying along I thought CD was for common duct. Of course, there's C/D ratio too and sometimes you need to type just CD, so I have all of them under CD and I have to pick from a list which one I want in there so I don't screw it up.
You can add messages and remarks. Like if you can't keep straight Celebrex and Cerebyx, you can make little reminders which is which so you don't put the wrong one in.
My cat loves to sit on the window sill too...
I make sure and keep the blinds up some during the day so she can do so. I think she likes sunbathing. My other cat could care less. He's getting older though. He is definitely past the age of wanting to "hunt" anymore. The youngest still trys to get out sometimes, but is generally pretty happy sitting at the window (this was a wild cat rescued out of the woods too BTW). The older one we let in the backyard with us sometimes. He just sits there and walks around some, but that's it. None are allowed outside by themselves though, especially since we just moved and they could run off and get lost easliy.
I've had inside and outside cats my whole life. It is a personal decision and just depends on the circumstances I think.
Isn't there Okay or Accept, etc. at the top on the right at the Ctrl/J window? Need to do that af

You might also try turning off the suggestion window SM
or whatever it is you have for a while. I use Shorthand, but it's pretty much the same thing. That way you could give yourself a list of often-used abbreviations to memorize and get very comfortable with and/or a rule that tells you what a lot of your abbreviations are going to be. As you get comfortable with those few, you'll end up loving them and wanting MORE, MORE, MORE. With that attitude, you can turn the window back on or give yourself yet another list and another rule or two to get used to.
Just think, if you only used abbreciations for the words "the patient" (tp or ?), "hydrochlorothiazide" (hycx or ?), and "blood pressure" (bp or ?) you'd never type those three out again and would be saving that much time with each of them. Start small and unspook yourself.
It's Alt= to make it show in the window. sm
Much easier that way. Don't know anything about Editscript.
Close that window in the task bar....not
by clicking the "x" in the message box. I was told that when I had my computer cleaned of the AVG thing months ago. Not all of them, but some of them, have the "x" linked to where it's the same as clicking "yes" to download. Sneaker characters, they are!
I'll give that a try since I'm in the 14-day trial window
Thanks for the advice.
Nationals with 10- to 12-hour window to work 8 hrs?

YOU gather up his belongings and throw them out your window onto the curb, or in the driveway, or
wherever. Down to the last razor blade! It is highly unlikely that your husband will gather all of Loser Dude's belongings and bring them back into your house. Dude will gather up his Loser Belongings and find another place to be a hospitality sucking leach. (leech?) Good riddance. Just DO it! And if you have one molecule of sympathy in your brain for this Loser, then you need to go to therapy. You have gone above and beyond the call of duty, nice lady.
ShortHand is quick and easy. You can turn off the popup window,
but it is small and barely shows. It just reminds you what is about to play out, which can be helpful for me. Say I wanted to have copd change to COPD, so I have it in there that way. But then I add it as copdj to have it play out in full. If I can't remember if I did it that way, I can look down at the box before I hit space or punctuation and see which way is going to play out.
Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with men working and tossing this PC out the window;) sm
This is my own personal opinion, but I do believe that God gave men and women specific roles, both equal in value, neither less in importance. Had I married a man who would have been content in his God given role as provider and allowed me to perform mine as a mother and homemaker, I know I would have been a much happier, content individual. I'm 100% certain that my C-spine wouldn't be in the degenerative condition it's in (I see a pain management specialist on Tuesday) due to 17 years of transcription. Instead, I have had to work everyday, have one child instead of the 2 or 3 I craved, have dealt with depression and have even been in counseling.
Look at kids today. Mom's leaving their children to be raised by strangers (IMO) has been one of the major downfalls of western civilization. God had a plan. We changed it and now we are paying the price in our children.
In the ESP window. Click on Files and then Save As. Then you can browse for your A drive. SM
If you're saving to a jump drive, just look for your removable storage device, on my PC it's drive E.
Good Luck!

thanks to both for suggestions
don't know why i didn't think of this one...it just might work.
Thanks for all the suggestions. sm
I'm not very adventurous so I don't know how I'd like stripes or room themes, but I'm looking for a splash of color here and there. I did like the idea of the pale blue sponge roller over white walls for the living room and a tan color for the dining room to make it a little more formal. I think we're going to give that a try. The sponge roller will give a little hint of color without making me feel anxious with the too busy or loud.
Thanks again, all
Thanks for your suggestions
I appreciate your suggestions. I have no typos in my resume or cover letter, I have contacted the phone company and let them know that I need DSL for a job, and I have received feedback from my online tests. I did have a position offered to me recently but I didn't have DSL and had to turn it down. I'm sure something will come along eventually. It is just discouraging to be so excited about entering a new career only to find so many hurdles. I guess it will only make me stronger. Your encouragement helps.
suggestions, please!
I need to order a .wav pedal, player and a word expander. Anyone with info on a good pedal/player reasonably priced? Files will be sent to me as dss files. Is there a good web site for new/preowned MT software?
TIA,

Thanks for all the suggestions.
The IRS check came through in the mail today, so my backside got saved big time. I also got a second job offer today, so I'm going to work two jobs for a while. At least until Christmas. Then I'll decide which job is better or if I can handle both on a permanent basis. I do have some stuff to sell on ebay, so that'll be some quick cash.

Here's my 2 cents for whatever it is or isn't worth. Bear in mind that I'm my own worst critic. The hours worked and dependability aside, the first thing I would do is honestly evaluate my own work. In other words, what criteria did I use to determine that all the work, or at least that not QA'd by myself, was crappy work? Was the work really crappy or am I a "comma freak" or did I send QA feedback in a constructive rather than a critical way.? Sh*t runs both way, QA people can kill even a good MT; MTs can also kill a good QA person.
As for the other QA person, I personally wouldn't give jealousy the time of day unless that QA person was in a position to QA my QA, in which case; yes, she could give you serious problems since many company's management do not have a clue about the work an MT does and wouldn't know quality from crap. Thus, they listen to the employees they trust and jealousy just doesn't factor in. The only thing one can do about that is hope they don't get cross-ways of a jealous type person.
After evaluating myself and finding I had done my best and that every aspect of my job had been above reproach; then I would tell this company to take their job and stick it where the sun doesn't shine and I'd move on down the road until I found a company that would appreciate my dedication and hard work.
Good luck to you and don't let this get you down. While they're hard to find, there are still companies out there who appreciate hard work and dedication and whose management understands MTs because they have been there, done that themselves.

I don't know what Harry & David is, but.. over the years I have given/received flavored coffee, Godiva chocolate, gift cert for lunch at local restaurant, book of car washes, package of CDs, certificate for massage at local health club (my favorite!), manicure certificates.
Wow! THanks for these suggestions!
I am going to try the "propping" of the keyboard and see if that helps. I think I will also order the Smartgloves and Handeze and give them a try. I used to take glucosamine and chondroitin and I seemed to develop hip pain when I did. When I stopped it, the pain went away. Tried it again, the pain returned. I can't imagine why that would happen. Maybe I should give that another shot just in case!
I have been tested for thyroid in the last year, and many years before that, and it is always negative. I have so many of the low thyroid symptoms. Oh well...
Thanks everyone so much!
Here's some suggestions for you...
First off go to the local library and look at the April 2005 issue of Consumer Reports. Each year they rate new/used cars for reliability and it's a great way to see what vehicles have shown to be reliable in your price range and which ones you should run from.
Once you've narrowed down a car regardless of where it comes from you should pay to have a CarFax report run. This report will tell you if the car has been in any accidents.
After CarFax clears the vehicle then you'll want to hire an independent mechanic to check out the vehicle. While this will cost you around $100-150 it would be well worth it as they'll tell you if the vehicle is truly in the state the owner says. Even if you get a car from a dealership with a supposed warranty always pay someone else to review the vehicle because you don't know for sure that the dealer's "checking people" will be honest in their claims on the quality of the vehicle.
Good luck on the search and let us know what you end up with!
More suggestions
If you're into sports how about giving yourself a Christmas present of some golf lessons? That's one sport you can actually play alone or just go to the driving range...subtle advertising of your availability.
Loew's and Home Depot sound good in theory but I wouldn't recommend it, more likely to meet someone else's honey-doer. If you're interested in handy men, maybe volunteer with Habitat for Humanity?
If you are at or near senior status, either join or volunteer at, or join, your local Senior Center. Lots of single, lonely old geezers there. Membership starts at age 50 I believe, volunteering at any age.
If you like bingo, try your local American Legion, many of them around the country have weekly bingo games. Lots of middle age singles go there.
Get active in joining and/or volunteering. You need to be around people.
My Christmas wish for you is that Santa will bring you your soul mate.

With accommodations for an extra dog being an issue for you, and since you have done everything within reason to try to locate the owner, I would say a week would be long enough. You said yourself you have all fallen in love, and the longer you wait the harder it will be on her as well because she will start to think of you as her family. I know most of us can’t help but have fears about taking a dog to the pound, but most of them really do excellent work in placing as many animals as possible, and making sure they are spayed/neutered and up to date on shots. If you have to take her there, you many want to consider a donation towards her adoption fee, as having part of the fee prepaid will go a long way in helping someone choose to adopt her. Another option you may consider is contacting a lab rescue group, they will place them in foster homes and thoroughly screen potential new owners to try to find the best home possible. You may want to visit someplace like petfinder.com to find a rescue group near you.
Thanks everyone for all your suggestions! :) NM

Other suggestions for FTP
www.YouSendIt.com is another solution for e-delivery of large files, for low-volume users.
If you are looking for free FTP -client software, though, check out this link:

My suggestions
The poster above is right on it, for one. Slowly start adjusting the speed of your dictation and push yourself a bit, just so you have to work a little harder to keep up.
Learn as many keystroke combinations/shortcuts as possible -- avoid the mouse as much as possible.
Use your word expander: Put words, phrases, chunks of text in it. You should just be gliding along, rarely typing an entire word.
Don't eat/drink/smoke while you are typing - it takes your hands off the keyboard. Only do that during a break.
Most importantly for me is to set a specific goal for that 1 or 2-hour block and concentrate VERY hard on getting it. Push. Reward yourself with a short break when you're done. Then start again. Don't view your day as "8 hours" or "10 hours" ... look at it in 2-hour chunks of time.
Be well rested and eat lightly before you start typing.
Make sure you are comfortable and well supported in your desk and chair situation, lighting, even perhaps a little light music in the background.
Believe that you can do it. YOU CAN!!!
I need suggestions, please (sm)
ham, potato salad - used to always go with a hot dinner, but a few years ago started making potato salad instead and like this idea better - BUT - can't think of a vegetable. Okay to have a hot vegetable with potato salad?? If so, what? Green beans seem like Christmas, corn, no. Can't decide. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks
Any suggestions . . .
for reasonably priced DSL? Suggestions would be appreciated. Verizon charged me 62.17 this month as my introductory offer is over. Does this sound like too much? With the price of gas I need to cut corners somewhere. Thanks in advance.
