Mouth guard helped me too. $500 and insurance did not pay, but
zz
LOL.... caught me off guard...

He is in the Army National Guard,
last summer when he was 17 and is doing "on the job training" this summer. Yes, he has enjoyed it very much and we are so very proud of him. He is my only child and so has been hard on me, but he is doing what he wants, so that makes me happy. When he comes home in 2 weeks, he is trained and could have orders to go wherever (Iraq) and so I am not looking forward to that. I wish you and your son the best, and thank him for serving our country if he does enlist.
It just caught me off guard. I really wasn't trying to
criticize. Sorry!
what helped me
I had to stay away from situations or places where I tended to smoke.
I know you cannot quit work just to quit smoking but maybe rearranging your home office/work area could help.
I also agree with finding a substitute. For me, it was the holding of the cigarette, not the oral contact, that was a tough one. I need to have something to do with my hands - try a stress ball if you find your hands feel empty during your breaks.
I quit in 1997 and still crave a cigarette from time to time but the feeling passes quickly. The first 4 years were really difficult, though. Good luck.
Thank you to everyone below who helped (sm)
me with the PTO question. I got an answer so am a happy camper again

Me too. She always helped me when
I was helping out on OPs! Now I do them quite a bit, but still need some help here and there!
helped me a lot
I thought the book was very helpful. I think it increased my speed at least by half. For me, it was a worthwhile investment.
I did try all that and it helped some sm
and it definitely made my computer speed up but the dragging is still there.
Chicken pox in the mouth
I'd be calling my doc asap with it being in her mouth. The home remedy I had to use was Maalox/Benadryl and doc added diluted Xylocaine to numb it. My dd had it on her uvula also. Made a concotion of yogurt with the above also and added Lysine to it to. That is after the doc had a look at her. Good luck but don't mess around.
We go to them. Word of mouth is a big one.
There are farmers markets and roadside stands. Some of the ranchers advertise in the weekly advertisement papers, and others advertise in the daily newspaper. We also have religious sect colonies near our town, who either set up stands or go door to door. You can always drive to the colony as well to buy produce or meat. Ask the small butcher's shops or meat processing businesses where to get organic local meats.
You don't need to use the mouth for F10 and insert (see msg)
Not sure what you mean. If you use the F10 and insert the word, use the Alt, (I think it's T or X) whatever has the little underline in it, then esc. Mouse doesn't have to be used at all. Try it.
Put your money where you mouth is
I suggest that you go out and get accounts and have the MT's work for you and you don't pocket a dime when they give you "perfect work" and yet you have to still proof it, deliver it, answer all questions, invoice out and make sure the account is happy. I doubt that you would do all of that for free -- . I make 2 to 2.5 cents per line from my sub's. I am sure some of the VERY large companies are making 6-8 cpl but that covers the QA person, the software that they provide, the benefits, if they provide you with a computer, management, etc. But for us small to medium -- dare you try it and see how rich you get -- that is why I still type 2000 to 2500 lines per day and am ready to give up my subs as it is not worth the 20% I get off of their accounts.
snart mouth, eh?....does not ........NM
no, but my mouth is watering! nm

DO NOT PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH...OP
First of all, I only mentioned the fact that the child has 4 parents to make a point...they have twice the resources we have to give their child things like a car for her birthday...that's the only reason I brought that up. I do not hold the fact that her natural parents are divorced against her...I love this girl! I'm just worried about her being, first of all, turned loose in a car mere hours after getting her license, and the fact that now my daughter is wanting to run around in the car with her!
I know it's none of my business, that's why I have NOT stated any opinions to ANYONE...except my husband, about the situation. So, you completely took my post out of context. Perhaps you have some unresolved issues with your parent's divorce?
the mouth noises!!!
I hate it when they are sitting there thinking about what they want to say and are moving their tongue around in their mouth so it sounds like they are sucking or smacking!
it means nothing by mouth sm
but they probably wanted the exact meaning which is nothing per os.
It is not that I am 'frothing' at my mouth
because she implied that I am Indian, I am angry because she thought that she is some kind of detective and was criticizing my GRAMMAR!
Do you understand NOW ?
It's about time someone helped US out
nm
You believe the people being helped are the same ones...
shooting, raping, etc.??? Perhaps some are, but the majority are ordinary working people, and probably some who aren't working. So what? They are human beings and deserve to be treated decently. Who are you to judge that they aren't worthy of help???
As others have mentioned, I hope when you need help you are able to get it. What a despicable attitude. I feel sorry for you.
Thanks for your tips, they helped! NM

Yes, thanks a lot - helped greatly!! NM

I wanted to thank everyone who helped below
about DHs red blotches. He is feeling fine this morning. I did tell him the signs of anaphylaxis and to go to the ER if he has any of those symptoms. We may never know what caused those blotches. Thanks again!!! You all rock!
Thanks. A different speaker helped--
Thanks so much. But, it is the sound quality from my company, it is just bad. They have the good system and then a bad system, is how I interpret it. When it is coming from the bad part, it is bad. That's what I think. Don't know, though. Changing speakers helped, and I did not think of that, so thanks so much.
Yes - it helped w/abbreviations, etc.
I think it helps to broaden your knowledge of certain standards if you're job hunting, even if you've never used them. For example, you won't be surprised when you get a different job or client and someone chews you out about starting a sentence as "27-year-old patient comes in today" (versus "This 27-year-old..." or "Twenty-seven-year-old..."). JMHO and IME
I finally helped someone. Yea!! (nm)
that one surely has both feet in their mouth right now.
When someone points a finger its usually to make themself feel more powerful, sad and unhappy person. Honey, all came here the same way, we came from dirt and are going back to dirt. You keep being strong, raise those babies the best you can and be proud you don't have the mentality of the person making such a crud statement.
so its okay for you to be unappreciated, to just keep mouth shut
I also do my work and then some, but why not a little respect back that I give? I can't believe it doesnt bother you. Look at your tone on this board, you seem like the kind of person who would be bothered by it.
meant mouth SHUT

What is with these dictators with the microphone in their mouth?!
Cripe - I've been on this american doctor all morning and he is the pits. Sounds like he has the microphone buried inside of his mouth. All kinds of breath noises and other undesirable sounds. Things are so distorted and my line count is in the toilet. Don't they know its garbage in-garbage out? Plus he talks 200 mph. ARGH
loud-mouth neighbor
ooooooooooo, I would love 1 minute alone with your neighbor!!!!
oops - SMART MOUTH..............NM
typo
took the words right outta my mouth
Classic!
did not put words in your mouth just noted
that I didn't think the problem was that I didn't know what I was doing. Unfortunately, Dragon doesn't limit their claims to only disabled MT's. So I thought it important to post that it doesn't do what Dragon likes to say it can do.
ok, I'll keep my mouth shut!! ;) Thanks! nm

Straight from the horse's mouth . . .
Snagged this straight from the Escription site. Hope it helps.
We have had success configuring both the Belkin USB/Serial Adaptor and the Dynex USB PDA/Serial Adaptor to work properly with a serial Foot Pedal and EditScript MT. Other adaptors may also work using this setup, however we cannot guarantee that they will.
- To set up the Belkin USB/Serial Adaptor:
- Install the USB/Serial adaptor per the instructions included with the device.
- After installation, open the Windows Device Manager:
- Right-Click on My Computer, choose Properties.
- From the Hardware tab, cick Device Manager.
- In the Device Manager window, click the + sign next to Ports (COM & LPT). You should see the USB/Serial Adaptor listed there with a COM port next to it.
- Right click on the Adaptor and choose Properties.
- From the Port Settings tab, click Advanced.
- From the COM Port Number drop-down, set the device to COM6. (Any COM device higher than COM4 should also work; be sure to remember what you set this to.)
- Click OK to close the Advanced window, then OK to close the Properties window.
- Close the Device Manager
- Now open EditScript and log in.
- Once you have logged in, click on the Options button in the EditScript toolbar:
- From the Foot Pedal tab, change the CommPort setting to COM6 (or whichever port it was set to above).
- Click OK to close the Options dialog.
Your Foot Pedal should now work properly through the Serial/USB adaptor.
Can you get cancer from chronic mouth
I have a wisdom tooth that is coming in. I do NOT do well w/ dentists/anesthesia, etc...well a few months back i had an appointment to have this removed. long story short even though the dentist knew I was freaked out about the local anesthesia he took so long to do the extraction my mouth was no longer numb when the hygenist tested my gum area. I freaked out, left crying and vowed to never go back to him. Well now that the tooth is slowly coming in more and more i have an ulcer that seems to be getting bigger from where i am more or less chewing the inside of my mouth.
It doesn't really hurt or bother me that much, i would much rather deal with the ulcer than have another panic attack/heart racing event from the local at the dentist's office. My concern is this: Can you develop cancer from a chronic mouth ulcer? My aunt died of oral (tongue) cancer last year so i'm paranoid about it. 
Any info you can give is welcom. Thanks!
All accounts I have are through word of mouth.
I started calling whenever an ad appeared in the newspaper for an MT. From there all accounts have been through referral. Work quality is the best reference you have.
Put your money where your mouth is and cancel
your service and switch to someone different.
you talk out of both sides of your mouth--sm
on one hand you say compassion is another term for "enabling," and lending a helping hand to someone emotionally is only making them a victim. Now you say you have compassion and sympathy for others. yeah right.
She's talking out of both side of her mouth...
I know I recently saw a clip of a speech she did in which she said "outsourcing must stop" and "it is time to insource"
Yeah, work for $5/ hr and keep your mouth
?
natural products helped me - sm
I feel for you. Different story, (though same in that tubes tied, PMS-crazy 10 out of 30 day each month, teens) but maybe this might help you. I could not opt for hormone tx (diabetic)after hysterectomy (for other changes in cycle; light, then very heavy, then not there) and opted for surgery when fibroids were found.)Immediate surgical menopause resulted in symptoms even though before this my FSH and estradiol levels came back I was not peri.
Researched websites and found natural progesterone cream (bought at local health store)helped me a lot, but wound up on Lexapro (calming) too. Taken together, this was the optimum fix for me.
Split shift helped me a LOT! Was
getting very painful to type eight hours straight. It has helped to the point where I barely realize any pain anymore. Also, I can seem to go "great guns" the first hour or two of my shift, and then slow down some after that. This way, with split shift, I have two sets of "two hours" of gungho, at least as gungho as I can get...LOL.
I wanted to thank the person that helped me. sm
That Turtle Beach Audio Advantage is really the ticket. I can't believe I was living with such bad sound quality for so long. THANKS SO MUCH! This is really helping immensely.
I'm happy my post helped you....sm
and I NEVER lie!! It's the truth!! My only thing today is I don't want to go back out there and re-solicit (I still work for the BIG national part time for now but the day I leave there, I'm hitting the streets again...*LOL*)
Best of luck!!! You'll do fine!!! Meeting them all in person to me, where they can see your face, what you emanate in public, one's honesty and directness...I believe the doctors ALL like this!! And if the office is busy and they cannot see you or interview you, you come back another time - made an appointment. *S*
