gotta burn my prairie...
we have about an acre total of reconstructed prairie. It needs to be burned every year to wipe out invasive plants and create the best growing conditions. What huge flames we get when a little bit of wind picks up. Looks like this weekend will be good for that job.
do you really think they cross the border on their own?
God bless the Red Cross
And some people have the nerve to say not to donate to the Red Cross because of not being sure of where the donations are going. Shame on FEMA.
Keep those donations rolling. We had some little kids who set up a roadside lemonade stand a few towns away from us and they made $50.00 to send to the Red Cross. Isn't that sweet?
Our local firefighters were out in Wal Mart parking lot holding up their fire gear boots. No signs or anything. We knew what they were doing. Sure I only had a couple of dollars to stuff in a boot, but if every person entering Wal Mart even put in a quarter, it would make a big difference. What really shocked me was the amount of people that just walked by.
She's not into cross dressers
You want her to come over so you can borrow her pumps maybe?
I'm in Level Cross, NC

Yep, he is from Level Cross
he lives about 1 1/2 miles from my house. See him at the gas station now and again.
A Cross pen or pen set is always safe. :-)

how to handle -- be sure and dot your I's and cross your t's
First you need to be able to substantiate what you are saying.
you need to know who is signing off the report? Is she??? or is the physician???? or is she signing the report off by another physician???? If she is how is she doing it.
You need to get all your ducks in a row so that you dont go to administration and look like a troublemaker making things up.
Personally I would gather all my proof and turn a copy of it in to adminstration anonymously (make sure that cannot trace it back to you because when the fire starts you dont want to get burned in the aftermath).
If doesnt take care of it take that same info, write a letter explaining what you have witnessed and that you reported to administration but it continues and anonymously submit all of this info to JCAHO.

2 cards - FEMA and Red Cross
They haven't gotten to the FEMA ones, I don't think yet, but the Red Cross ran out of their cards today in Houston at the GRB after people stood in line for about 6 or so hours. They thought there would be rioting. Yeah, we are having a great time here in Texas.
How about counted cross stitch
I've been doing it since I was 16-17 yrs old and it is the one thing I constantly go back to after doing anything else crafty.... just so relaxing
or in lay people's terms, a cross between
No and I didn't and don't cross the eyes....sm
And I do it alone in front of a mirror in the bathroom...*lol* - not a pretty pose, you're right - but it WORKS for TMJ.....*S*
Have a nice day!!!!
Red Cross site having "tech. difficulties."
Now that's a surprise! Everyone keep trying.
Red Cross donations= Research before you donate to ANY NPO
I, for one, will NEVER donate to the Red Cross. Why? My father was NEVER notified his mother died. He never got to attend her funeral or say goodbye. . . He found out after he came home from the service. I could tell you other horror stories, but won't. Sure, I'm bitter, but don't need to be flamed. Would you like to come home and find your mother has been dead and buried and you didn't even know? Think about it.
The Salvation Army is my choice. I KNOW all the money is going to the Katrina Victims. If anyone has a chance, they should look at the statistics on how much money donated really goes to victims of a disaster. The sites escape my memory right now, but they are/should be all online.
Blue Cross only pays $25 towards exam. sm
They have coverage for glasses up to $100 (what progressive trifocals cost under $100?) Of course, my doc does not have the frames that come under the $100 program. Natch
Cross country trip to CALIF and
back. My husband and I took three weeks and drove to California and back through the Southwest. Saw Yellowstone and the Giant Sequoias, Santa Fe, Sedona, etc. We had never been there and it was great just driving with no set plans, stopping along the way whenever and where ever we wanted... such freedom.. My second best was a week and a half to Glacier Falls, Montana, but that's been years and years ago. Heck, any vacation is a great one! My bags are packed and ready anytime!
I moved cross country, setting up sm
every night in a different motel, and with no laptop, either. I just used whatever table they provided and setup my total PC system, and got the work done. Not the usual situation, but it worked fine. It sure was not a vacation, though, but a cross country move. Had to stop by dark every night and get some sleep, get up a midnight to work 6 hours, then move on. Made a lot of money, at least as much as usual.
International Red Cross started the aid to the Tsunami victims first.
It was over a week before we could start shipping in aid and a couple weeks before we had the telethon. It's only been 2 days so far. I still believe that when it comes down to human suffering people will respond no matter what country it happens in. It just takes time.
What really angers me is that we're hearing on the news that a major portion of the cost of aid in our OWN country will come from donations of US citizens. Where does our tax money go when we need it the most, with situations like these? Our taxes should be used for the citizens of the United States, and whatever is left over for aid to others, not for subsidizing every other country in the world that our govt. pledges it to.
I have Blue Cross through Webmedx. Office visits are $20. nm

I can find no better place to hide than behind the cross of Christ!

I went to the Red Cross to volunteer locally and was told that I needed to apply to the state for a
background check, which will take from 2 weeks to a month to get back. I understand red tape as well as the next person, but is this really necessary? They are asked for people to help load trucks and pack and sort supplies right now, but only from people who are already in "the system." I guess I'll go another route and go to one of the local churches and volunteer, without the red tape.
The Red Cross just HANDED OUT $5 million worth of debit cards in Texas.
FEMA decided to mail them in 14 days if the people knew where they were going to be...couldn't possibly get them out faster...too much work...etc.
Cross stitch kits, square lap looms for crocheted afghans.
Not that I have time.
You can cross-reference generic and brand names and get dosage info at...SM
RXList. I guess buying a drug book every other year wouldn't be a bad idea. When I was a newbie, I used to think I had to buy a new drug book every year until I discovered the wealth of info on the internet and I just write new terms in my books. I know some people like to keep their books pristine, but I make notes in mine all of the time.
Your best bet is your local Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield company, depending on where you live
Here in Idaho, we have both companies but a lot of other states have BC/BS combined. Our family has a policy through Regence Blue Shield that is $196 for my husband and three kids. It has a $25 office copay and it is a limited policy, which is 12 office visits a year and lab up to $300. It works great for us because we never got to the doctor, yet we have it if we need it.
I have an individual policy for major medical, $35 office copay, with our local Blue Cross and it is $59 a month for me and it has prescription coverage too. Not a bad deal. I think they are your best bet for decent coverage at a good price.
Blue Cross/Blue Shield or Mutual of Omaha - Which company pays off claims the best w/o hassle?

DQS in-house
I would think this is a dream come true. DQS can be used/bought by independent companies including hospitals and it doesn't necessarily mean that MQ is taking over the account or has anything to do with the MTs on staff at the hospital. Hopefully this is the case for the OP, because that is wonderful.
Also, regarding the demographic field, she is probably familiar with the little things of the hospital that sometimes MQ MTs struggle with, especially those of us with multiple accounts, like who dictates for whom, doctors who put in their wrong IDs, who gets copies and who doesn't, etc.
I hope MQ doesn't mess with the account too, because she, IMO, has the perfect set-up because DQS is really a pretty decent program and to be able to work on ONE account, in-house, would be my dream come true, anyhow! :-)
Oh, but maybe she should be warned that DQS is a speech recognition platform...
in-house
they are sending the supervisors or "workflow coordinators" (as they are referred to now) to work at home also. Those of us who cannot achieve the line quota are "offenders." I feel like I work for the devil himself. Not a good feeling :(
I do, my house is about as big as (sm)
a bachelor apartment. It benefits me in the long run. 
Get out of the house once in a while.
I get depressed, too, but I've got kids, animals, and everything else running around underfoot making messes. Do you have any friends or family you can get together with for coffee? What about puttering around a bookstore for a while?
Is this your first house?
If so plenty of programs available through Fannie Mae or FHA for first home buyers. If not look for a "rent-to-own" deal, usually sold by investors. You pay an "option" of usually about 5K to rent out the house for a year while you work on qualifying for a mortgage. Then a percentage of your rent each month is put towards your downpayment. The house is yours, and after a year if you qualify you have your home. Great program for those who have some bucks but not many of us can afford 20% on anything!!! Good luck.
Yes, but who does them in-house?

House
I think House is very loving. I think he realized that Mark loved and needed Stacy more than Stacy loved and needed Mark, that Stacy really didn't know what she wanted and would regret it if she left Mark. Finally, the fact that Stacy had left him, House, before and now just wanted to keep him in the wings made him realize he had to put it to rest.
I think will free House up for someone else - hopefully not Cameron, she really needs someone her own age. It was creepy to see them on their date last year - looked a Dad with his daughter.
No. If in-house - yes! nm

We had them at our first house
We didn't plant them, but they were probably about 5 to 10 years old when we bought the house. We sold the house about 8 years later. A couple of them at that time had already died, and they all died within a few years after that and had to be cut down.
They are very nice to look at and grow fast. I did not have any problems with "sucker shoots", they all grew upwards. The trees also do take the wind very well, never any broken branches, etc. If you need a quick fix, I would certainly recommend them. Only downside is that they are not very long-lived.
In-house MT job - sm
I would like to take a part-time in-house MT job. Unfortunately, there a few jobs out there. The local hospital has an ad for a full-time MT position. I had applied there many years ago and withdrew my application. The pay was quite low and the hours were not flexible at all. For example, one hour for lunch meant one hour for lunch!
I wondered if I should apply and tell them I am only interested in part-time, not full-time and see if they are interested. Or should I just assume that they are still very rigid in their thinking? I don't want to waste their time or mine but really would like to go in-house a few days a week at this point.
What do you think? TIA
Either it's your house or it's not.
Do not do any work to it at all until it is yours, in your name, and you own title. Period. Until that happens they are free to do what they want with THEIR house. They haven't cared about the condition of it thus far, so why should you until it's yours and you will reap the benefits of whatever money and elbow grease you put into it. They are not giving anything away until someone else's name is on the title. Don't let them continue to manipulate you. If their house isn't worth it than don't bother. If you can afford to put money into their cra!py old house you can afford to put money toward a new one of your own. They sound like truly selfish people and they are not going to change at this stage in their lives, are they? You seem to have the brains of the bunch. Put those brains to use. Get your own game plan to take care of you and yours and forget the rest. I speak from experience. You cannot change the pepole around you, only how you react to them.
I do not want an in-house job
I was only inquiring as to how companies hire employees and those employees may work more than 40 hours/week and not have to pay OT. I think for the most part the ? has been answered.
She needs to get out of the house...
and make some friends in her new town. Maybe part-time preschool for the oldest, if not old enough for school, and she could meet some people that way. Or check out different churches. Or She definitely needs to meet new people near her. Until she establishes some kind of life where she is, she will continue to pine for the old life she left. Has she met any neighbors yet? Maybe visit a garage sale, even if she doesn't need anything, just to be out with people?
and when she is done with your house
send her over my way! That is wonderful. I wish I could get, and stay, that organized myself. ![You](http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_32_7.gif")

When I am in-house
Yes, I have to answer phones, take care of nurses, reception, billing all bringing me questions or requests, research doctor's addresses, phone numbers, splice tapes back together that have broken (yes, we still use tapes and work on WordPerfect 5.1!!), fix computers when they go screwy, etc. etc. At home it is soooo much more peaceful and stressless!
When I was in-house sm
I transcribed reports on friends, coworkers, people I knew in the community....I tried to keep my mouth shut as much as possible. But when you learn that a friend has breast cancer....it's hard.
going in house sm
Make sure you know exactly what you are getting into and have it all in writing. I had given up a very successful IC position to go into one of my hospitals. As an IC I was treated well, but when I went in house I was treated like I came to steal the silverware. I was promised there was a need for me and they would be pleased to have me. I did not get this in writing. The insiders hated my guts, had the job posted and and all the night shift and weekenders scooped up the hours, leaving me with only weekend hours and holidays. I went through the mill that year because I made such a wrong decision. Be sure you know what you're getting into. I hate to scare you, but be armed with backup in print, in black and white, before you give up your home office. You are used to working alone. I did not know people could be not only so mean-spirited but they were not of my caliber concerning professional behavior. Be prepared to deal with the witches of the world should you have to. I was not prepared for the change. Perhaps you will be more fortunate than I. I made a terrible mistake and gave up a lot. I had to leave and start all over again. It was not easy and not worth it.
new job in and out-house
Well, I did it! I start with SoftScript at the end of the month. Although there are fears and all that, I have done the right thing getting out of the unhappy in-house job I was in. It's a big gamble, but I feel right about it.
I'm posting here to tell you if you want an in-house job, check the job board at a certain hospital in Central Illinois, near Morton, IL. A big, Catholic hospital. I think there are actually 2 Transcription jobs open. The benefist are great. The rest of it is OK to absolutely unbearable. You'll see. I don't think I'm allowed to name the hospital. But the job is on the job board of the hospital web site. Good luck, I guess. Pray for me, as I will for everyone who gave me advice.
in-house
I have found that working in-house for a hospital usually pays better than working at home for a service.... in some ways. The hospitals I have looked at pay a decent hourly wage, but if you are a seasoned Transcriptionist and work on accounts that you are familiar with you can make more being paid by the line. I have always worked by the line and when I first started out I didn't make crap. I expected this though. And now I don't do too bad. I actually make more than I would if I worked in-house at one of the local hospitals and I have the benefit of being at home. I save money on gas, "work" clothes, etc.. So I guess what I am saying is that maybe you should try to find something in-house for a while to have that guaranteed hourly wage. Just a suggestion.
in-house
You're right - in-house is wonderful pay - but the downside is giving up the comfort of home. I made $19.00 an hour at a hospital job, but don't like working in the same room with other MTs - usually can't get your work done unless you are a die hard. You get the urge to chit chat and the hospitals do require a quota. Don't get me wrong.. it does have its good points.
