Bearded dragons are Lizzie and Eddie, Leopard geckoes are Sabu and Taabu. Cockatiel is Lutie. Never did name my pair of green iguanas. I have a large fish that is named Bully because he is a mean oscar and a turtle named Bubba, as he isn't the smartest turtle in the pond. LOL.

QA Lady, I admire you but please give it a rest.

Calie - here is the way I do it.
For me it has been easier to set up the facility then use one of the premade templates, for eg the FU template. I copy my template, erase the premade template, and then paste mine in the FU template. (I hope that makes sense). I do clinic work so I don't have many special templates. I also found it comes in handy if you print out the codes for names, dates, etc. Vann Joe has created a really wonderful program! I hope you enjoy it.
And no, there is no free trial of Stedman's but there is one for PC Shorthand. I have used both and prefer the Shorthand.
I love chihuahuas - they're absolutely adorable!

....Whooa... you make Busy Mting look like a lamb. You sound so harsh and rude. If you don't like the posts then don't open them. Seems to me the sign of a good balanced character is not to be so affected by one extreme or the other.
Is this w/the built-in hand rest? Touch was nice, but the rest made my palms achey. Didn't

Not just speedy, but lucky in a way that the majority of us out here will never be. :( nm

"mean lady, ice lady, flaming monsters"
watch others feel hurt? from my computer? locked away? huh? you have clearly let your imagination run away with any powers of logic you may have had. sad.
The Helms Bakery Truck! It sold candy & Pixie-Sticks, too! Yumm! (n/m)

Naaaaaaasty lady. Bad lady. Pooh.

Not always. Tongue stumblers. New dictators. Speedy and lazy dictators.

All I can say is rest when you need it and - sm
listen to the docs. I, personally, have not had cancer but after dealing with my 5-y/o Wilm's tumor (kidney cancer) this year, our family has been but through the wringer. Jen handled her chemo great, lost her hair with 2 treatments to go (had 14). Kids are great about that though, got a little self-conscious but after a few minutes in a new place would forget she had no hair. I got her a couple hats for the sun and for her to feel better too. Painted her head one day, had fun with it. She had good days and bad of course, but for the most part handled it all very well. Just had a clean ultrasound and chest x-ray today, yeah! She looks like a little boy now, with dirty blond hair (was an incredible shade of red before), with now the roots growing a new color, a strawberry blond/red, really pretty. So if you do lose your hair it may grow in different (probably will). Jen's was very fine before, now it is a lot thicker, still straight as a board though as it was. You may lose some weight too, but after chemo is done you will regain it once you get your appetite back. Best wishes to you and feel free to email ! 
Just take out 1/3 of the mix so far and add only 2/3 of rest

If she's like the rest of us MTs out there...
She's doing an excellent job and just wishes the docs would WAKE UP and start doing the same. Docs ARE incompetent for the most part, and that's sad. But you go ahead and think they walk on water, honey. When they amputate the wrong leg during your operation, you'll be the first to scream, LAWSUIT!!!!
How is this different from the rest of us?
I haven't said this before, but I've been thinking it. So the suits only think about the bottom line and the doctors don't care whose jobs go overseas as long as it isn't theirs. How are we any different? How many of us cared that textile/garment workers jobs went overseas? Until the lead paint scare, how many of us cared that toy making jobs were going overseas? Do we stop buying the latest electronic gadgets, not to mention computers, because they are virtually all made overseas now? For the most part, we didn't worry about those jobs, so why would anyone care about ours? Wal-Mart, K-Mart and the other low-price retailers push their suppliers for ever cheaper products, and plants overseas are the best suppliers. Have we stopped shopping there, or is price all we care about, too?
about themselves? Help the rest of us
I think it is wonderful that you are making so much money. Why don't you help the rest of out and share your secretes? Please...I need all the help I can get at 7 cpl.
The rest of the world
Thinks Americans are suckers. We help everybody, give money away to everybody, and then they all turn on us. I'm beginning to think they are right-- we ARE suckers! Maybe it's time to tell the rest of the world to take care of their OWN people and problems for a change.
Why? Except for the rent all the rest is the same everywhere.

I rest my case.

But then how will you be different from the rest of the kids?

foot rest
 So do you put both feet and the pedal on the foot rest?
Foot rest
I also would like to know if anyone has an idea for a foot rest. I also have swollen feet at the end of the day. I looked at my daughter-in-law's foot stool for breast feeding and thought it might work since it is slanted. Off to Google this and see what I can find.
foot rest - sm
I found mine by Googling foot rest. You'll find lots of them, all shapes, sizes, and prices. I think mine came from Fellows, but cannot remember now. I love it. No more backache. Good luck with your search.
rest in peace!!!!
nm
Don't know what it is. :( Can you rest them on a heating pad in your lap before and while
s
I agree with the rest
Run, do not walk, away from this account. One day you won't be paid at all. I would rather not get paid for not working than not get paid because somebody kept the money that I had worked for. 
When typing, do you rest your --sm
wrists on the keyboard tray or hold them up in the air? Am having arm pain and have tried both ways but do not notice any difference.
Get some well-deserved rest (sm)
you are NOT a machine! Take some time and rest up, especially if you aren't feeling well. No one should have to endure that in this profession. Helping out is one thing, being taken advantage of is another. Get Well Soon!
Would you give it a rest already?
The "compliment" (not complement) was meant for the person who correctly identified this as a pyramid scheme..
And would you give the "His hand was with me" hoo ha a rest? There are plenty who fall for this type of manipulation but I hope that none of them are on this board...
please go troll elsewhere.
OP could do like the rest of us----- research,

OH PLEASE give this a rest!!!
I VOTED FOR CLINTON TWICE so I'm not a hater per se. That said, AFTER the fact I started educating myself about the facts with regard to U.S. POLITICS. Its enough to m ake you RETCH.
BILL CLINTON had plenty of SUPPORT for NAFTA, and WE ALL GOT THE SHAFTA!
Before you start saying Democrats are better than Republicans about this or that issue - do some research: THEY ARE THE SAME party!
THE WEDGE ISSUES ARE THERE JUST TO KEEP YOU DISTRACTED!
BOTH PARTIES ARE CORRUPT TO THE GILLS - why are AMERICANS SO AWARE OF THIS yet also so willing to keep supporting only these 'two' parties!
I just don't get it. If you know you are being scammed, why do you keep buying their lies?
can't speak for the rest of them
I know one MTSO who was going to put on an ad and has backed off with what has been going on with the ownership of the board. I think it's just like the number of postings being down - people are on here but are hesitating because they're not sure if everything is okay. I think if you give it a little more time you'll see more and more ads come back on as people relax about the board again.
SHE'S SUPERWOMAN! WHILE THE REST OF US...SM
just have to roll with the punches, which somehow have eluded her.
Are you able to rest your arms?
Maybe arm rests? They helped me for a while until I started getting carpal tunnel symptoms from not having my hands properly positioned (due to resting my elbows on my arm rests). Needless to say, got rid of the arm rests and after a while, the pain just went away (both in wrists/hands and shoulders/back). However, I do have quite severe knots if you ever feel my shoulders :)
Just take what you want and leave the rest! :D nm
.......
oil of old lady!
That's what my husband calls Oil of Olay, but what does he know. I'll be 50 this year (and proud of it) and everyone says I look great for my age.
QA Lady
So obviously you were never a newbie? You came out of MT school the "perfect" MT. I have nearly 3 years experience and there are still things I look up. One thing about MT work is that is it forever changing. Not to mention the QA that faults me for things that are considered correct according to the Book Of Style. Just because an MT is new does not imply that she cannot do the job.
Hey QA lady. You were all over the
GAB board yesterday and now you are on the MAIN board telling us once again how wonderful you are and how superior you are to the rest of us. GET OVER YOURSELF. You keep telling us how awful MTs are, so QUIT and you won't have to deal with it anymore. I would hate to have you as my QA person. I think we all have heard enough about how PERFECT YOU ARE and how worthless MTs are.
You saying that, I only wish the lady
had been here at that particular time. I was transcribing a physician who changes almost every other word, sentence, saying oh don’t put that in, change to thus and so and then says a sentence and then says delete that. I could pull my hair out when I even see his name coming in. I remember the first time I ever listened to a physician and like the person you mentioned above, knew he was speaking English and I barely knew the first word he was saying. I guess most think we sit at home just "typing" a bit and then eating chocolate chip cookies the rest of the time.
give it a rest already, she already had 2 other jobs

Size of foot rest - sm
I got a large one - 17 x 20 - because I have two foot pedals to use (different platforms) and they both fit on it side by side. I can adjust it to slope up from the floor in front to about 3-4 inches (or more if I want) upwards. The top of the foot rest has a rubberized mat to keep the foot pedals in place, and the base of the foot rest is heavy to it doesn't move. The brand is Fellows, and I paid about $49.00 for it...and I think well worth it so far. If you Google foot rests, and look on Shopzilla, you'll find lots of them - different sizes and prices and styles. Hope this helps.
fortunately for the rest of us who dO want to discuss this,
ROFLMAO - I rest my case LOL
I agree with the rest, not worth...sm
the money or your time. I let my certification run out after 15 years and am no longer a member, mainly due to their support of offshore transcriptionists.
Share it with the rest of the class!
may Patsy rest in peace
Thank you for speaking up. I could never understand why everyone wanted to condemn that poor woman. Seems to me that all the people who wanted to condemn her are the sickos.
Well, my thoughts are right in lines with the rest of you, and also,
something needs to be done about the way the local chapters are run. The same people are constantly voted in by a few select MTs to keep things the way they want them. New MTs coming into the chapter have no input at all. The AAMT needs to govern those locals a little more closely.
I'd count it too via 65-char just as you are doing the rest - sm
especially since you print it out, ink costs money, as does paper.
Fine.. just getting older like the rest of us...nm
.
#2 is about the average income for an MT/QA, I would say. The rest...
are just pipe dreams where your chained to your computer or you have your own dream accounts.
I think it depends on the rest of the sentence..sm
You should already have your application filled out before the interview.
