Way down here now, but I'm GOING TO THE BEACH!
I have cooked for everyone one in my family and everyone in everyone else's family for the past 30 years (on the nose).
This year my daughter and I are heading east to the beach at a quaint motel with a handful of restaurants. I'm thinking stuffed shrimp this year instead of stuffed turkey!!
You have fun RadGuy!!
Yes! And a beach!
:)
Is there still one in Deerfield Beach?
..
Try Turtle Beach
Audio Advantage. Essentially it is an external sound card. Plugs into USB port and then your headphones plug into it. I have had one for about a year and cant live without it. My problem is so called "secret" dictators. A lot of my docs think their dictation is a secret or something and talk so low that I simply cannot hear them. The Turtle Beach does wonders for them. There are tons of options to play with that helps clear up noise too. One warning though, it will render your speakers useless and you only have sound through your headphones unless you uninstall it.
Me too!!! The beach is the most relaxing and best!!!
I absolutely love Florida for the same reason, the beach. I'm planning Aruba next year, I simply can't wait!
I did South Beach also -
and lost the tummy area first. I was absolutely amazed how I was never hungry and didn't crave chips, ice cream and chocolate! I found it time consuming preparing the meals, but the results were worth it.
Myrtle Beach.
We stayed at the Royal Garden Resort through Dunes Realty (Dunes.com) and had a great time. It cost us about $800 for the week. It was right on the beach and was within driving distance of anything fun.
Hopes this help.
cranky beach
I would have to agree with you on the tools. I was semi-retired for six years due to pain syndrome from what they are now calling "repetitive stress syndrome" MT itis is what I called it. LOL
$2.39 for regular in Boynton Beach, FL.

Anyone ever been to Flagler Beach, Florida?
I met my husband of 18 years at the beach.
I was 17 and a Junior in High School when I met the love of my life at the beach. It was wonderful - no alcohol involved and we didn't meet in a bar. We just celebrated our 18th anniversary November 14th, and have two children, a son 16 and a daughter 14.
Myrtle Beach! Nothing to be ashamed of! I would rather go there!!!nm

South Beach Diet
I have had this same problem! I gain too much weight with each pregnancy, then when I finally get it off I have ended up prego again. HA. Well, it won't happen that way again. Anyhow, I did the South Beach Diet between my last 2 kids and lost 54 pounds in just a couple of months (a little over 4). I actually lost my weight in this area first. I am just starting it up again for the same reason, and because I know it works--I have done it before. The first 2 weeks are kind of hard to stick to (at least for me as all my teeth are sweet teeth), but it goes by fast actually and you won't believe when you step on the scale and each day your weight is down and you drop clothing sizes. Just typing this is enough motivation again for me to do it. I didn't exercise the last time and the weight just melted off, so I don't know about any exercises. Good luck to you! :)
South Beach Diet
When I did it the last time they only had the blue book out, now they have cookbooks too and the foods at the store so it will be even easier to stick to. I just bought a treadmill and am sad to say after 15 minutes I am dying! HA.
I have even seen the South Beach books on ebay for cheap. :)
south beach d question
would someone tell me please a few examples of 'good' carbs and 'bad' carbs, and/or what causes them to be good or bad? Thanks.
My friend got married on the beach...sm
They rented this beautiful place for a week for the wedding and the guests - a huge mansion-type place just for them.
They wore white....she wore flowing cotton white, he wore a white shirt and white shorts, they were barefoot (actually everyone was barefoot) with she wearing foot jewelry. These are not youngsters either (in their 50s) but a first marriage for my friend (she never found Mr. Right until she found Mr. Right - so happy for her - she deserves it and more). It was exquisite - everyone else was dressed neat-clean-casual - slacks on women, except for her sister who was Maid of Honor......but it was real casual with the finest of food and drinks :)
I think it's up to the people getting married - never let anyone dictate such a special occasion!!!
North Myrtle Beach
Having lived at Pawley's Island - this is some really pretty country. Get out of the car at the Myrtle Beach Sign in the middle of the highway for some photo ops. Also, for those of you traveling to North Myrtle Beach - please make a short trip (30 minutes with no traffic) down to Pawley's Island and see the Brookgreen Gardens and Hunnington Beach. There are also a lot of "real" little shops at Pawley's Island with real treasures to find - not cheap souvenier stuff. You can watch the weavers make the Original Pawley's Island Hammacks. I know that you are all probably going for either the beach or the golf, but beware that the sewage drains into the ocean up on the Grand Strand and there is usually a daily feces report - so if it is high - don't go into the water. I hope that ya'll have a great time. If you get the chance - try some Shrimp and Grits, frogmore stew and some of the other low country delicacies. You will have a blast. Remember hurricane insurance, too - in case one is headed that way and you don't want to lose your money on your flight and accommodations. 
South Beach Diet sm
beel ala orange with brown rice and broccoli, carrots, and bamboo shoots...only thing is, they forgot the brown rice...I am still hungry. yarrr.
Does any one know one with a beach and breaker sounds?
Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I saw something like this.
I use a Turtle Beach device.
It plugs into the back of the computer and enhances the volume as well as the quality of sound. But I needed to get an extender from Radio Shack since it plugs in the back (but if you have any USB jacks in front, that would work too).

kudos to cranky beach
LOL... I just have to say this cranky beach...... with that nickname I would not have thought you to be so helpfulllllll....LOL You are just a peach of a person to be taking your time to help...and for that I send you mucho kudos......thanks....even though it is not me you are helping here.
Very nice, quiet, family beach
except for the biker bars (which are really kinda fun!). Small local market in the square on Friday. Nice beach, good restaurants, close to Daytona and St. Augustine if you are looking for more action.
A little cool for swimming IMHO, but with good weather it's nice to dig your toes in the replenished beach.
The beach, anywhere. Warm and sunny and lots of fun!
But, Niagara Falls is always beautiful no matter what time of year. It's actually cheaper to stay there in the winter than the summer.
You gotta pick anywhere where you can just focus on each other and let the world go on without your for a night, a couple days, a weekend, maybe a week (yeah right) whatever.
South Beach sounds good - sm
I have actually bought some of the South Beach foods at the grocery store and really like them. Did you buy the book or what did you go by when you started South Beach? I don't have a treadmill anymore, but do have an elliptical machine...I wonder about that? Thanks for your information....
we've gone to Ocean City or VA Beach (sm)
We're looking to maybe going to Idlewild Park for 2-3 days (taking a long weekend) this year.
Look at Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach
It is a USB thing that looks like a flash drive and it bypasses the sound card. It has lots of settings to adjust to improve sound. I got it and didn't think it made much difference, but then didn't use it for a couple of days and realized that it did make a difference. I got mine at Best Buy for about $30. There have 3 different levels and I think Audio Advantage is the middle one (which was the only one they had at Best Buy). You can Google Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach and probably find their website.
Creative is a good brand of sound card and likely it isn't the sound card that is the problem, just poor quality dictation. The USB thing above will help, but if you don't have good dictation to work work, you can only do so much. If you don't have them also try noise-cancelling headphones. They are rather pricey, though can probably get a good pair for about $60 or less on sale, and they make a significant difference too.
Myrtle Beach is a GREAT place for a vacation
get South Beach Diet book or see online..sm
the author is Dr. Arthur Agatston, cardiologist here in s. florida
Outer Banks, NC...Don't waste time on VA Beach
I live in Virginia Beach and there's not much to do here and definitely wouldn't recommend taking a vacation here. Unless of course you like rubbing elbows with all the tourists crowded on the boardwalk. We love going down to the Outer Banks. It's much more laid back there and you can claim your own little stretch of beach cuz it's not so crowded. The locals are much nicer there and you can rent a beach house for pretty cheap if you look around.
The "Azul" beautiful water/beach seen on XP-- love the caribean! - nm

Anyone ever stay at Monterey Bay Suites in North Myrtle Beach?
I was checking out there brochure and it said completely renovated for 2006 and their prices are great...Plus you get free breakfast buffet and nightly dessert...sounds great and the pictures look great...but almost too good to be true for that price....Anyone stayed there? If so, how was it?

Yesterday
They just billed it yesterday, the day of my new statement, that's why I got an over-the-limit fee tacked on, too  . Thanks so much for your support. It really helps to have kind, supportive people helping me. Thank you!
That was me yesterday, except it took me
14 hours off and on to get 1,000 lines in. TMI = too many interruptions I can't wait for school to start again. LOL
Actually, it was yesterday, but still

Had one yesterday
that kept saying "post stop" after every sentence.
The first time I thought she said postop, until she kept saying it and it dawned on me that she was saying "post stop" when she was finished with that sentence.
I saw that one yesterday...sm
person must be OM and not transcriptionist...what an easy mistake!! lol.
Bet you are from yesterday
The one from yesterday also mentioned the infection aspect so perhaps you are just using a different name. If you call the board, you will never work again as you are breaching confidentality and referring a patient to PT is not life threatening. It might get the patient out of the house and do a lot emotionally and psychologically. The doctor at least has not given up on him and trying to give him the best life possible and if PT can keep those muscle moving and so on, go for it. I think it is time for you to find another profession is this is bugging you. As for your grandmother, the doctor was hoping it would motivate her and he was trying not to allow her to just sit there and let everything atrophy as it seems the family was happy doing.
Had a guy yesterday who...
said, "Okay, I have to spell this one." Don't remember the word at the moment, but it was thhhiiiiiiiiisssssss llllllooooonnnnggggg. When he was done, he laughed and said, "How did anyone come up with a name that long anyway?"
I had one yesterday (ESL)
Who kept saying over and over in the report "assenbanger". After I stopped laughing, I did some investigation and it turned out she was really saying "Eisenmenger" syndrome.
Lovely, huh? :-)
yesterday I had
a 30-minute report that only counted to 142 lines. I was really miffed. Dictate a sentence. Pause for 15 seconds. Go back and change the last sentence, just say blah blah blah. Pause for 15 seconds. Dictate another sentence, stumbling mid-sentence while trying to collect thoughts. Pause for 15. Decide you didn't like that sentence after all and ask me to change it. Over and over and over. An ESL to boot.
I felt like I was trapped in some strange time warp in the twilight zone. It really messed with my mind.
Myrtle Beach has my vote. No passports, no airports, customs... Just kick back & relax!! My vote!!

I was just wondering yesterday
what happened to them. Hadn't heard anything about it in a few weeks. Seems like all they talk about is Aruba. Wonder where the little boy is!!
My doctor did tell me that yesterday....sm
thanks for reconfirming, I wasn't sure if I believed it. He even told me not to let the girls wash their hair everyday, which I knew wasn't good for other reasons but they do anyway.
It's still one of those things that makes you want crawl in a hole and hide. I hope the looks blow over soon.
Yesterday and all the other old stuff.
Not to worry. No depression here. I just think it's a beautiful song.
My 40th b-day was yesterday and .....
I have no wrinkles, no stretch marks, no gray in my hair and no extra weight. My chest is still where it was when I was 21 in spite of having three children. I wear a bikini at the beach (with a belly ring) and feel comfortable and confident doing it.
I have an agreement with my husband (who has superb taste in clothing and style)--if I ever dress in something that makes me look like I'm trying too hard, or in something that is unflattering or inapproriate for my age, he will tell me the truth. And he has been true to his word.
The true test for me on whether I can carry it off sucessfully is seeing 25-year-old men (and younger) take a second and third look with genuine appreciation and admiration. I hope that doesn't sound like a sexist remark as it is not intended to be; I simply think that women tend to judge other women's appearances based upon their own insecurities and maybe a bit of envy.
I feel, act and look younger at 40 than I did at 30. In my opinion, it all has to do with how you feel about yourself and how comfortable you are in your own skin.
I applaude women who take care of themselves and can wear younger, sexier styles with confidence.
Ours jumped yesterday
from $2.49 to $2.72. Don't know what it jumped to today. I saw that $2.99 on the news in Cedar Rapids-guess it isn't so bad yet in my small town.
well, they called me yesterday, but (sm)
I wasn't here. So, she left a message, stating that if I had any questions regarding the new plan, I could call them back. I aint even gonna bother...just see what happens when it happens. But, if anyone else does talk with them, I'd love to know what they have to say! Good day all!
