There are 3 parts, a balm, mask and triple-action enhancer. I used it twice a day for less than a week and the chapped lips are gone. It really does work and is worth it.

Please, you owe them the absolute truth as you know it. SM
Not to discourage them, but it is of the highest importance that every person preparing to enter the workforce understands that for any job not tied to a specific geographic location in some way he is potentially in competition with the entire planet's workforce. English as the universal language is definitely a two-edged sword. But it also means they come ready equipped with an extremely valuable tool-fluent English.
To do anything else would be profoundly immoral and potentially do someone great harm.
The AHDI website has a section on questions frequently asked about MT that would probably be a great help in putting together your talk. It also has a report on Scenarios and Solutions for the Future" of MT. Different scenarios because they just don't know where we'll be.
You could include in your talk suggestions for related work they can also train for that is more geographically tied, such as tumor registrar and ?, and ? Nursing and hospital tech fields, of course, but when you come up with some more of those that still can be mostly done at home, you can come back and tell the rest of us about them.
The truth will set you free and the truth is more low level income people w/o education or proper
skills to keep up their home or train their children live in trailer homes and low income housing. If that sets you off, maybe you should not visit these threads or read the posts regarding others viewpoints on trailer parks. They have zoning laws against them in many communities because they draw undesirable people are not particularly pleasing to the community as a whole, bringing property values down. If you have issues with this, seek out the government in various communities and have them change the laws. Fact is fact and you cannot dispute these facts.
The truth stings sometimes and I congratulate MTStars for having the kahoonas to post truth.
Tired of being lied to. I'm a big girl and can handle the truth. Why can't you?
Opened a can of worms, eh? Truth hurts, but it is TRUTH!
8 cpl is about the top out in the US MT industry. If you're making more consider yourself lucky because it just might be snatched away from you at any moment. For the 14 cent per liner, good for you! You went out and got your own accounts. Others should follow your example. As far as the "stupid" MT comment, keep in mind that she was not consistent and **often** had one excuse after another not to work, yet I could see her online and when I would ask her why she was online she would give VERY lame excuses. Also, keep in mind that I also was the one who helped this gal out monetarily to begin with and she took advantage of my generosity. Don't make me out to be the bad gal here just because I own a service. The shoe could easily be on your foot.
So, NEWS FLASH, if you have an MT position that is paying more than 8 cpl, consider it a real blessing and pray that your job isn't outsourced offshore.

Chronic chapped lips
This seems so goofy --- go to the dermatologist for chapped lips? I have had this problem consistently for the past couple of months. I haven't been sunburned. My lips are swollen (love the swelling - looks like collagen! LOL!) and chapped, can't get enough chapstick (no MQ jokes - LOL). I read this could be a malignant of premalignant condition and I should see a dermatologist! Wow! Anyone have any insight into this problem? Thanks in advance! 
Yep, I agree. Frank loves us and only wants the very best for our lips.
:
chapped lips are caused from dehydration in the beginning and sm
chapsticks are a chain reaction causing continual need.
You bet I agree! Red splotches and swollen lips? It's sad we're more concerned... (sm)
About your husband than you are! If you want someone to agree with you no matter what you say, ask your momma! If you want opinions and ask for 'em, don't whine when you get 'em!
 MT in Novi
You don't have to believe, the truth is the truth. I, too, have seen with my own two eyes and ha
years experience as an MT. I say misfortune because MTs with this much experience usually have gigantic egos and feel like they've "seen it all and done it all." They simply don't make mistakes. Not possible, no way. This particular MT became irate with me. She actually threw her 20+ years experience in my face and said "I've been doing this for over 20 years, I think I know what I'm doing!" It was painfully obvious, she did not have a clue. She'd been doing it wrong for 20 years and no one ever told her, so she thought she was right.
I had another MT with 10 years experience call me to scream at me and hung up on me when I tried to explain her errors to her.
The plain truth is, some people can't take criticism whether it be constructive or destructive. They don't like to be wrong or be told their wrong. Egos get in the way. We are all guilty of letting our egos get in the way from time to time, but in this field, you need to be willing to admit you're wrong and you need to be able to accept criticism gracefully and give criticism diplomatically.
As an editor, I encourage MTs to let me know if they disagree with any corrections I've made. I am happy to provide MTs with my reference materials and resources. I am happy to admit when I am wrong and I am happy to say that I make mistakes too. Just don't try to tell me that an MT with 16 years experience can't possibly be making terminology mistakes - she can and probably has in the past and will again in the future.
If you could just QA for 1 day and see the absolute
garbage that QA people have to deal you might understanding where they are coming from. I don't agree with constant negative feedback. I do agree if the MT is wrong that corrections should be made and passed along. I don't believe additional comments need to be made about errors, unless they are repeated errors. I have had QA people correct things and make snide remarks about how style changes were made months ago and that I had previously received other information, etc. In every case in which the QA person made such comments I proved her wrong. I also complained to the MTSO and the person was taken off of QA.
If you are expecting positive feedback, in most cases it isn't going to happen, but I'm a believer that if you tell someone what they are doing wrong, you also need to tell them what they are doing right.
I try to be adult about it, and if I have made a mistake I make a note of it so that I won't do it again, but if I'm corrected for something that I'm not doing wrong I go back to QA with it. Almost every time QA has come back with you are correct, but and then tell me how they do things or add in a few more cutting remarks I go to the QA manager.
I work in a very particular account and they are frequently changing the way they want things done, but they want them the way they want them, doesn't matter what BOS says, doesn't matter that we are all in agreement that they are incorrect, we have to do them that way. It may seem nitpicking to the MT that some things are being corrected because they aren't really wrong maybe, but it isn't what the account wants.
Absolute BS
Baloney! Money talks and if insensitive cruel people buy shocking devices to control their animals, then these collars will be put on the market. Unfortunately in our society, there are no restrictions on who can own an animal. No background checks or mental health requirements. Anybody may own an animal and do with it pretty much what they want. The only qualification necessary is money--not compassion or sensitivity toward the animal--just money. And the same is true of these collars. If they sell, then humane or not, they are put on the market. How sad for the poor unfortunate animals in this world to have such an owner who would actually try to justify shocking them! Anybody incapable of training an animal without shocking it should NOT be allowed to own one.
I absolute would not not marry someone because of their last name!
I would keep my own last name as I plan to do whether I like his or not.
You are an absolute angel! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

my ABSOLUTE favorite is...
the alt+tab to navigate between open windows. just hold in alt and tap on tab to see what you have open and let go when you are resting on what you want.
I got your apology and it is absolute accepted!
Thanks!
I find that surfing the net is an absolute no-no
when I have a bunch of work to do at night. I try to get up and walk through the house, do a simple chore, get something to drink even if just water, helps me. If I find myself actually falling asleep while typing it is definitely time for bed because then I have to relisten to my entire dictation to make sure it is good. My DH is always telling me to go to bed at a decent time and get up early and I'll be more productive, which is really true if you are that tired. With my work if I'm not out of TAT, I pick the easy/short jobs first and leave the longer/more difficult ones until I've had some rest. While I may still have lots of minutes left, I don't have as many reports and I feel that I have accomplished something.
The absolute worst company out there!

I agree - Absolute best show on TV!! nm

What is your absolute favorite cake?
If you had to pick just one cake, what would it be? I love just about any kind of cake, but I have to say honeybun is my all-time favorite. I think I could eat the whole thing if I tried.
Any other absolute favorite desserts? Oatmeal candy has been at the top of my list since childhood. My mom always made it at Christmas and now I always like to do the same. Yummy!
Op notes are my absolute favorite. I can almost
double my line count when transcribing them. You don't have to spend time looking up medications, diseases, etc. Once you get the language/terms down, they move fast. Also, you can create many "normals" if you are doing the same docs over and over on common procedures - T&A, hysterectomies, cholecystectomies, etc.
SS is the absolute worst company. They offer
you the world to get you to stay, but it is a dead end job. $14.00 is NOT a good rate and twice that is not worth it. You will work like a dog and get treated like one. Not a nice thing to say about them.
That is absurd and an absolute untruth. Please don't make
assumptions based on others posts. Email addresses are kept confidential through this website. If anyone has any questions about this, email me. I'll be happy to respond.
Yuk, sewer backup is the absolute worst. sm
We rented a house for a year about 20 years ago, about 10 houses from where we live now. Every time it poured, the sewer backed up into the basement. Once we had water, 4 feet high too, and it stopped filling about 5 inches from the fuse box. We stayed through the winter and then the foundation cracked. That was enough. We bought a house with a dry basement. I swear, we had everything come in through the sewer-waste, toads, salamanders, you name it. It was gross. As a matter of fact, they put in a back flow valve too. Then the neighbors had the problems. The house is now on the market for over a year. No one wants it.
Why? M-TEC & Andrews produce the absolute best grads.

I need absolute silence in the background when transcribing. sm
Even nice sounding music bugs me. Silence, please
The absolute worst IMHO is the dictator
who loads up his mouth to capacity with marbles and then proceeds to talk.
Then you are an absolute FOOL. Down the road, you'll wish you were never involved
ll
Absolute worst quality sound files in my
20 year career, the worst ESL dictators (and I currently do about 95% ESL), horrible management, system not user friendly, technical support a joke, ..... I wouldn't wish this company on my worst enemy. Don't know anything about the other company, though several recent posts about them don't have anything good to say.
Christmas tree blobs are my absolute fave. Send some to me. nm

Mary Kay all the way
Hi. I have used (and sold) Mary Kay since my early 20's. (I am now in my 40s) I have strayed from the path to other brands twice, and my face did not like them. So, I always always come back to Mary Kay. The newest and greatest is our microderm abrasion set! I SWEAR I HAVE NEW SKIN
Mary Kay
Skin care is so important....especially after 30!!! I love Mary Kay's Time Wise Cleanser and Moisturizer and the Microdermabrasion is unlike any other on the market!! I wouldn't want to be without it - EVER!! It's a staple in my budget! I highly recommend it for every skin type!! It's GREAT! Lisa
Mary Kay
I don't know where you get your information, but Mary Kay DOES NOT test products on animals!

Way to go Mary! Yum yum......
Mary.....(sm)
I have the exact same problem as you right now. Because of it, I am not having any success with installing the latest version of McAfee. It's actually stopping me from putting the anti-virus software on my computer. I was just wondering if you were able to solve your problem? I have no idea how to get rid of it?!!
Anyone know where Mary Patterson (of YOG)

Mary Kay is the bestest!
I've used it since I was an early teen (Mother sold it). She started me young because my older sister had horrible acne (it worked miracles on her). In my entire life I've had MAYBE 5 pimples :)
I'm 50 now, and looked way younger than my years ... until I went through treatment, which aged me, but I still look pretty good for a 50 year old.
I also tried a couple of other skin cares (VERY temporarily). My face itched, turned red, etc. I came straight back to MK, and won't stray again.
There's another one similar to Mary Kay... sm
called BeautiControl...talk about expensive!! On the other hand, I love Pampered Chef and most of their products, but can't stand some of the pushy consultants who think you just "need to have a party!" I understand that they make a living doing what they do, but give me a break!
Congrats Mary! :-) nm

Au Contraire, Mary...
I've SEEN voice recognition, through Escription, at its finest. It is most definitely not a fantasy on the other poster's part. The technology is amazing but, yes, it does continue to require human overseers for minor cleanup even when working at its best. These dictators were so good, even Escription could detect the subtle differences in, for example, Xanax and Zantac and various other sound-alike drugs.
The blessing and the curse of the technology is, it can only be as good as the humans dictating. We've all seen the deterioration in the quality of dictators, particularly over the past 3-5 years. While most of us tend to complain about sloppy dictators, indecisive 'transcriptionist, go back up' throughout the entire report, ESLs, etc., those are the MTs saving grace. With those types of dictators, the technology will never be able to fully render us obsolete.
In a perfect world with near-perfect dictators and the ability to edit their own work, I sadly predict we would all be looking for a new career within 5 years.
The technology is there and, in the right scenario, it's frighteningly accurate. Luckily, the all-too-human dictators are holding it back from rendering us obsolete.
Au Contraire, Mary...
With all due respect for your opinion, I must disagree. I've seen voice recognition, through Escription, at its finest, at optimal utilization. It is most definitely not a fantasy on the other poster's part. The technology is amazing but, yes, it does continue to require human overseers for minor cleanup even when working at its best. These dictators were so good, even Escription could detect the subtle differences in, for example, Xanax and Zantac and various other sound-alike drugs.

There you go again,Mary, answering
tsk, tsk, tsk...
Right, Mary...Keep telling yourself that
.
Who are you calling mary?
I AM NOT MARY! There you go again, thinking you are so darn smart. Well, you got the wrong person this time.
Exactly. That's how Mary Kay hooks women-SM
by showering them with positive attention, atta girl, you go girl. It is unnecessary and we are not dogs.
Maybe you remember as Nannay Mary on
