to be sure that their internet service will allow you to connect to your VPN, if you use one. I have had a few occasions when travelling that I was unable to connect to my VPNs and was not able to work. It had something to do with the hotel's internet security settings not allowing it.

tried one in hotel
tried one in hotel, it was ok, but not my favorite, maybe if more pillow top. My wife seemed to like it.
No, stayed at hotel right near it, though.
Most of the places in M. Beach offer a package deal such as the one you describe. We have stayed at Compass Cove and Caravelle and both offered family value packages that include the suite, buffet breakfast daily, and tickets to local attractions. We are going back to Compass Cove this year, in fact. Both Caravelle and Compass Cove also renovated over the last year. Have you checked sites like Travelocity? Sometimes they have customer reviews that can be very helpful. Are you taking children? If so, I would recommend Compass Cove or Caravelle, either one. However, Monterey looks like a very nice place from the outside, at least!
Hope you have fun! :) When are you planning to go? We usually go towards the end of August. Rates are even better then. ;)
NEED HOTEL IN ALLENTOWN PA
I am lookng for a modestly priced hotel in Allentow PA for October 7th and 8. I am going to J C Birney Stadium to hear College bands. Any suggestions.
Depends on your hotel.
If you stay in a large chain (Hilton, Holiday Inns and such) and you are not in a rural area you will usually find high speed and you pay for the time you need - say $9.95 per day to use their connection. You just bring your PC or laptop, connect and voila! If it is dial up .. either change hotels or prepare for longer waits or perhaps not being able to work depending on your situation. The other writer is correct to mention calling your hotel to be sure. Actually some hotels have the service "free" now.
Onesuite in hotel
That is exactly what I'm doing when I travel. I use my Onesuite account and dial an 800 number from my room and save on ridiculous charges from hotels.
Now you can also use its voip feature if your hotel has a good internet connection and you have your laptop with you. Saves you the trouble of dialing the 800 number or worry about getting charge for that 800 call.
I've never had any problems with hotel.com
The best thing to do would be to call the customer care number 1-800-219-4606 CST. I do know that they always charge your card for the full amount of the stay, but if they didn't have the room, it should have all been refunded. I thought that when you book through a website like this each website booking company has a set number of rooms available in the hotel. If the hotel used one of the rooms set aside for hotels.com without the knowledge of hotels.com, then the hotel would be responsible for giving you an upgraded room. If there were no rooms available at all, then hotels.com should refund everything (not sure about the overage charge, though).
If you have ever worked as a hotel housekeeper, you'd know.
Let's see, here. People can't hit the toilet. People can't hit their mouths with their food. People do nasty, kinky things and leave it for the "maid" to deal with. People do illegal and immoral things, and also leave those for the "maid" to clean up. The hotels are hush hush about it so they don't lose clientele. The "guests" treat the housekeeper like a peon. You are only there to serve them in their superiority. Most of your coworkers don't speak English.
Glasses in hotel rooms. Uh Oh...
And people worry about the local water
This is a must read! Our health when traveling depends on what we know about hotel practices.
desk clerk at a low-budget hotel -
I called in sick with the flu, and that night the place was robbed at gunpoint. I had never been so happy to be sick!
This is a fantastic idea actually (renting hotel room)
It may be tax deductible. I actually like my home and it is affordable as I got it at a low price several years ago and put a big down payment on it. In other words, I doubt if I could repeat this. No small children. What I am thinking of is that I will probably have to work until I am 60 at least. The only other option would be to go back to school and get training in another skill but even that seems difficult. I have no idea what I could learn and work at other than nursing.
Thank you very much
Just got back on a Timeshare trip - cost - 200 and included 3 nights hotel
and tickets to a bunch of free stuff! It was fun. Was it worth it? I am not sure! We got hounded pretty bad about 'buying a timeshare' but it was very affordable! Beautiful place too!
Aladdin is a nice hotel, nicer than Excalibur but comparable costs.
And it's in the middle of the Strip, so if you plan to do walking you have the Bellagio, Paris, etc. close by.
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

Check the connections from where the cable originates to wear it comes into the house. Also check t
had a similar issue with TWC and they had done some upgrades and the modem I had was no longer compatible. The tech knew what the problem was the minute he saw the modem, only it took me about 3 months and threatening to cancel for them to get out here.
No brainer here. Stop payment on first check before you issue 2nd check.

I have had a check bounce over a boo-boo in the check book...NOT A DEADBEAT!!

DID you check with Social Security& does your son receive a check???
Go to SSA.gov and research the payee options. You may have to use the search engine, but your answer to this particular issue should be there.
I am disabled and while my kids were minors, I had to fill out a form each year on how I, as the payee spent each and every penny of the money they received. I don't see how his mother can justify how she spent his money for things that you normally would pay.
That said, he is getting Social Security right? Is your son receiving a dependent check? Under law, if a parent is disabled and has minor children, each and every one of those children also receive a check until they turn 18 or graduate from high school, which ever comes first.
The check is a percentage of your husbands, so for 800.00, your son should receive at least 350.00. If you have not been getting this, they would pro-rate it back to when your husbands disability started and that in itself, could solve a lot of your financial problems. You can also find this out on their website, HTH
no - don't check out wildblue. check out hughesnet. sm
i was on wildblue. i absolutely HATED it. i paid $400 for install and equipment and bill was $51.51 a month for smallest plan. no bills, had to be direct debit from credit card or bank. wasn't a lot faster than dial up and i frequently went over my download limit so i had to upgrade to the $80/mo plan. speed was no faster on their "fastest plan". they had a 1-yr contract and only 1-yr warranty. well 20 days (kid you not) out of warranty my tria (the eye on the dish) went out and it cost me a total of $275 for replacement and tech call (had to wait a week and a half before tech could come and then he no showed and rescheduled for the next day stating he didn't have the equipment he needed to fix me and the repair order had been in for over a week by that time. no call to say he wasn't coming either, just no showed). they TRIED to sell me the entire package all over again to get me locked into another 1-yr contract and i declined. it was best in their book so your warranty and equipment would be "new". i had to tell them for 5 months to change which credit card to debit from, never could get it right. had to tell them for 3 months when my phone number changed. i could not wait until the day my 1-yr contract was over. have heard really good things about hughesnet. i think it is a tad more a month, but supposedly a lot faster than wildblue and not near as many problems from what i have heard from others. wildblue was down for an entire week at one point throughout the year i was on it. always got lost signals and page cannot be found multiple, multiple times throughout the day. i used wildblue with VPN (with transtech) and could not keep a connection enough to get a decent line count as i was dropping signals too much and it did slow it way down. i finally got clinic work rather than acute care where time and speed wasn't a factor. research message boards for complaints about wildblue and hughesnet before deciding. also hughesnet i think told me a 2-yr warranty rather than only the 1-yr with wildblue.
Check the classified board here and check
E-bay. Some companies will provide them for free or a small rental fee.
check
your dictionary or autocorrect and see if it is set to capitalize the first letter in a sentence.
i think it is just that, though, an annoyance.
Thank you! Will check them out now.

My check was for over $400, but certainly does not
come close to the money I have lost since going on docqscribe. I think corporate should provide us with the statistics they used to arrive and this amount. The @#$#@ crooks!
Thanks, I will check that out. You would
think that would be illegal (to pay for one line count and bill for another) so they would be a little more discreet......
Check for DQS
Wonder if the discrepancy in pay on DQS is MQ wide or just certain regional offices cause I havent gotten anything yet and I dread having to contact my TC. Does anyone know?
Why did you get a check$?
and nobody told us?

MQ DEP check ?
Anyone heard from their MQ office what this check amount was based on and why it wasn't direct deposit like others if you are on direct deposit??
MQ DEP check
reason it wasn't DD, my opinion, is that if we cash it, we are "settling" any past underpayments. It has to do with the lawsuit. I my check yesterday, and I will deposit it probably. By my cashing it, I did not sign or agree to anything and the letter doesn't state anything about dismissing them from any further legal action. I think they sent the checks to make them look good, like they are trying to be honest and forthright about the discrepancies. A little late...
What check?
I have been with MQ for 14 years and I never got this check, is it for everyone?
check
emailed payroll and asked for a detailed printout of how this figure was derived and she said that corporate told her that it would take probably 2-3 weeks (you and I both know it's probably more like 2-3 months). we have a right to know how it was gotten and if I were you I'd do the same so that they know that we're just not a bunch of dummies who just take what they give us without an explanation that will satisfy us.
MQ check
I only glanced at the letter that came with the check but it said something about the DQS counting making mistakes and they were "sorry for any inconvenience this caused." Not a word about there never being enough WORK to matter whether the counting was right or not. Prior to DQS in 7 years I NEVER ran out of work. Didn't hang around long enough to see if their promises were true that we would soon be making so much money that we couldn't spend it all. LOL
check
"legally" any company has the right to withhold payment for 30 days. I found that out by accident, as well. ... through a company also in California. I would suggest, after attempting a telephone conversation first, that you speak with a lawyer and begin litigation. You are owed what you did work for. Good luck to you.

YOU: I am wondering if the hospital gives medications according to what is in the H&P
ANSWER: No, they don't.
YOU: if they operate on the wrong leg if the doctor dictates that.
ANSWER: No. The body part is marked ahead of time with witnesses and there is what is called a "time out" before surgery that is documented on the surgical record to assure the correct part (and patient) is being dealt with.
YOU: How many patients die from dictation and transcription mistakes?
ANSWER: I have never known of any.
YOU: Does the hospital have medication records for nurses that are handwritten?
NO: Computer generated, which lists contraindications, incompatible drugs, etc, and is checked by a pharmacist and the nurse who gives the med. There are some meds that need two RN signatures to be given.
YOU: Do surgeons check other sources before they operate?
ANSWER: See above about marking body parts and "time outs".
As an RN, I can tell you that the transcribed record plays a very small part of in-house patient care. In my opinion, accurate office notes are of more importance than the in-house record that is used mostly for billing and insurance purposes and not patient care.
Thanks -- will have to check her out.

anybody messing with me. I guess I could stand a set schedule if I got used to it. But remember, I've done this a good many years and I am faster than an hourly rate can pay. That makes a huge difference for me.
Check it out....
For the strip, consider Mandalay Bay - the rooms are HUGE and GREAT view of the strip. They run a lot of specials, and the best time to get good room rates in Vegas ANYWHERE is Sunday through Thursday.
If you want downtown, check out the Golden Nugget, and you MUST go to Hugo's Cellar across the street for dinner - it is THEEE best. Also, Lawry's Prime Rib is GREAT and the Golden Steer (since Frank Sinatra days).
Have Fun!!!
Thanks so much, will check it out!

I would check into your local internet companies. I do not know what is avaialble in your area, but we have cable internet for work and now for our phone service too. Our cable (just expanded basic), phone (unlimited local and LD), and highspeed cable internet only cost us $100 a month. Previously we were spending $30 on just basic cable, $45 for phone (not including LD), and $50 on internet. With this package deal we were upgraded in our cable, internet speed, and do not have to pay extra for LD. The only drawback is that if our power is out, we cannot call anyone since our phone goes through the internet. BUT, if you have a cell phone than this is not a problem!
