DeadBeatHunters@yahoo.com - you can learn from other posters. Be careful about the accuracy of their advice, though. The monitor told me that you can get retroactive to your application with CSE, but the CSE attorney said they do not do that. Since it took 2 years to locate my husband' Ex, that could have been alot of money!
http://www.deltabravo.net/custdy/ - you can go here because one of the forums is called Child Support. They even have a page there where you can learn things that are specific for your state. I think that's where you can read about child support laws in your state.
What's your case about? Do you have an CS order signed by a judge? Can the deadbeat be located? Is he interstate (it's a felony to leave the state if you are in arrears for child support).
Just don't give up! Good Luck!

Join a church? Seriously. I have a mom's group through the sm
church where we get together for lunch once a week amongst many other activities within our church. Fairly large church. Couldn't survive without it.
Have a friend who wants to join our group but
I forgot exactly what I did to get to chat in the first place. Can someone walk me through it so I can let them know? Thanks!
You could join a study group through sm
AHDI, but there is no radiology-specific CMT credential. In fact, I took the test within the past year and there are hardly any rad-specific questions on it.
You need to join a divorce support group. Look around. Helped

I think we should form a group alright, but no support group!!
How about a group of MTs forming their own transcription company?! We don't need some yahoo with an MBA who only cares about the bottom line and doesn't realize there would be NO bottom line if not for the MTs. We do this work on a daily basis, we know what to do and how to do it and most of us have dealt with doctors one on one. I am so disgusted with these companies and from reading this board, so are alot of others.
I'd join it!
.
I will so join you on that!
If you'll also add a branch for cell-phone drivers ... SHHH*T (...In Traffic).
Why thank you ER MT, and sure you can join
me anytime you'd like. It is very cold here in the state of Delaware, too, and I think the snow is coming! I love the snow when it first falls because it is so pretty. We like to go to Rehoboth, which is a little over an hour south of us, so that's where I drift when it is cold and stressful. Thanks for you help by the way with the avatar, I greatly appreciate it. 
join me???
Me and a few other transcriptionists are going to do hand-written letters to The White House about how outsourcing is affecting hospital employees, transcription in particular. I am having them to mail me their letters, and I am going to put them all into a big envelope together and mail them to The White House. If you would like to join us in this, please email me and I will give you my address so that your letter can be in there as well. We are trying to get our voices heard and save our careers, so please join us.
Join Curves or a gym...really
I have found that if I get up in the morning and go to Curves on a regular basis after I send my kids off to school, I have the chance to interact with people, get some exercise, and even make some good girlfriends because you are all there at the same time every day or every other day. You feel good by the time you get home, take a shower and sit down to work. I've also found church to be a huge outlet as well as getting involved with community events (i.e. volunteering) to be very rewarding. You have to make your life, it does not come to you. Hang in there, this is a great job to have, don't give it up for that reason, you can really make the isolation a non-issue. Best Wishes
don't join in the conversation if you sm
don't want to but don't censor others from doing so!
join the club
Age/arthritis? - see a doctor. Out of shape? - exercise. Here are some PT back exercises: http://www.nismat.org/orthocor/programs/lowback.html

Ummmm - that was join, not joint.
If You Can't Beat Them Join Them
There's an old saying which says "If You Can't Beat Them Join Them" I dunn think any of us can stop outsourcing and I dunnt feel there is any point crying over loss of income. So I have followed this ("If You Can't Beat Them Join Them") and I did't lose a dime as the companies outsourced big time. I have myself started taking 100% more work than before and am outsourcing them to individuals in India (the quality generally is good) who does the transcribing (obviously I get the work done at a much lower rate than what I myself get paid). By doing so my hourly rate works out even higher than anno's
VLM -Tried in the 60's to get transcriptionists to join a
union to no avail. Nurses at that time also were non-union - they decided to unionize as their pay and benefits were also abysmal at that point in time. Compare that to their income & benefits now compared to ours. The reply I received for not joining a union then was that the transcriptionists did not want to jeopordize patient care in case of a strike. Well,I agreed we played an integral part in patient care, albeit felt it was secondary compared to the role of nurses regarding patient care - who decided to risk going on strike and made the choice to unionize!!
I totally dropped out of transcription for 10 yrs, only to return and find that AAMT was the answer to our problems. Need I say more ?
As far as the scenario of striking in this day and age with no income, I imagine if I'd add up all the slow days, days without work, holiday periods without work, I could also survive a strike. Only difference being knowing I'd return to work with better benefits including help with health care coverage and increased pay, rather than decreased pay. Shoot - maybe even being recognized as a "Profession" instead of a typist - cognizant of our intelligence & knowledge!!
I don't know to this day if unionizing would have helped us back in the years when it was feasible, but still feel we couldn't have been any worse off than where we are today!
Trying to organize a union now I'll leave in the hands of my internet savvy young ones. How this could be accomplished in this day and age is now beyond my level of expertise!
You 2 should find each other and do lunch sometime! I'm too far away to join ya...nm

Not sure on this but I think you pay to be listed with the BBB - (join a member) so many probably j
the money to do so. Search the archives or Google them. Otherwise unless they are offering some outragous pay over such as over .12 cpl, then I would not worry about it and go for it.
RadGuy, come join my family,
I'm sorry if I'm laughing about your relative but with 3 different religions in 2 sisters and my mom, I totally understand.
The last time my BIL came to a family get together (he is a quasi-minister), he was talking about how we were all going to hell because we have never spoken in tongues. My mom couldn't help it and a big gawk came out of her mouth. All eyes were on her as she is not known to hold her tongue. She looked him straight in the eye and said, "well, you know, what if you're wrong and I when I die I get to heaven and I'm having a good time, then you die and go to heaven....will you be just as excited on that day to see me as you are today? I bet you'll be wishing you had gone to hell instead at the thought of spending eternity with ME!"
Food and beverages spewed over the entire table.
Each of my sister's sons told me I was going to hell because #1 I wore shorts, #2 I cut my hair and #3 I wore makeup. I sweetly told each of them I'd be the hottest looking chick in hell if that were the case  Now, I'm the "cool" aunt they all love to come to visit. Lighten up and enjoy a little bit of witty banter!
Did you see where they were asked to join churches?
How can they ignore a question like that? "Would you like to join our church?" Suppose they could just say no, which seems a little rude as to why not exactly. I can see her dilemma.
Hope California would join the two states
doing the protest soon!!!
Join the club on being confused. With turning us
things are charged, billed, or anything any more.
It just seems like they wanted me to work for nothing to clean up ASR reports. It was pitiful what they wanted, considering what they needed me to clean up. I could have typed it faster and better using my word expanders.
Maybe she should join Tatum O. on Dancing With the Stars. (sm)
The Desperate Housewives are always great, they get my vote.
i agree... Maybe I will join MENSA, just for the companionship
no shame in having a good IQ, when all the dust settles. Go for it MT!
Regarding AAMT, is it wise to join? Opinions please...
have been an MT for almost four years but have not joined as of yet. Would like to hear pros and cons. TIA.
Funny... can I join the Bon Voyage party with a few of my own? Seriously though
it's so very hard to just leave a blank, we are so so so anal retentive in this profession, so beat down most of the time, because everyone wants perfection all the time (impossible) we have to lighten up on ourselves, take a deep breathe and realize that sometimes a "blank" is the best you can do.
Join as in moral support, call me and I will be there with my name on the line.
I have called the attorneys and given any information they may need including my name, phone, e-mail address and home address to contact me if and when I can officially become part of the lawsuit. For now, I have joined in the solidarity of supporting the original MQMTs which is better than them just standing out there alone with no support whatsoever. So if the attorneys go to them and say hey, we got a list of 1000 names who have phoned us to join in support of your efforts it's a whole lot better than no one responding the attorneys who asked MQMTs to call in their complaints.
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
maybe he's thinking of a plan to join forces with winner of HOH?
The thing with Kaysar is he wants to do everything perfect and wants to win so he fights to win HOH even if Janelle would not put him up for evictions. That's why people like Kaysar.
Join the crowd. No it isnt just you. Is that what they tell you. That seems to be MQ favorite line
that they tell their robots to tell us. Its just you. Bull. You aint alone my dear. Just cant figure where the lines went.
excuse me? at 60 years old you suggest I should join the real world?
Adult children CHOSE to join army.Didnt they

don't mean to group the
hard workers, but this particular person was bragged about to all employees. If we make a good line count, do they brag about us, NO. Congratulations on your line count, you earned it. We did not have this information because of being allowed to see the line counts, we were told. Just wanted to set this straight.
There is a third group you know...
There are Americans who are working thier butts off, both spouses, and still can't make ends meet. Forget about extras like healthcare, some are lucky to keep the lights on! They may be courtious, professional people but life is not fair and life is not easy for everyone.
MRC ----> MRC Group ---> TL?
I'm trying to remember the exact sequence of corporate mergers.
I seem to remember the name Medical Records Corporation being morphed into The MRC Group before the TL merger (was that a merger or an acquisition?). I lost track when TL became Medquist. At one point I was hired by TL when TL and MRC Group were two different places to work. One was in Palos Heights, the other in Oak Brook, and that was a case study in not burning bridges, because it seemed like employees from those offices migrated back and forth between employers somewhat regularly.
Then several years later, I went back to look to be rehired, and discovered much to my dismay that Medquist no longer had brick-and-mortar offices. That was a rude awakening! I really miss being able to stop by the office and chat now and then. I don't play well enough with others to enjoy being in an office every day, but once every couple of months worked out great! :)
recommend the newbie MT join AAMT online chapter and suck the SM
dickens out of their "We Ment Well" (play on We Mentor Well) forum, to which non-newbies are excluded, and for which there is a plethora of talented folks of all types of persuasions more than willing to help.
Group you mean MTStars?
This group, you mean, MT Stars? No, however, I cant let an ignorant poster get away with posting ignorant judgmental stuff..
Hunt Group
I have a 16-port digital server and need a hunt group for it. I asked my local telephone service provider, and was told they have no idea what I am talking about. I need this server set up right now! Where do I get a hunt group? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Please email me. Thanks in advance. Molly
Hunt Group
Sorry Molly, I would think maybe you could ask a computer expert? Never heard of this.
Re: Hunt Group
My understanding is that a hunt group is a series of phone numbers and/or extensions that create "rollover" so physicians never get a busy signal when they call in to the system. Maybe I was misinformed, but I was told the phone company would have to set this up. If it is a computer set up instead, then back to square one. Surely someone out there has set up one of these machines??? It's not rocket science. This is supposed to be simple. Thanks, Molly
what is up with this group today?
Is it because it is Monday? Why are so many people in a bad mood today? Years and years ago when I used to own a home daycare and the kids really got on my nerves I would tell them I was going to time out. I did that very rarely but it got their attention every time. They knew they had gone too far if I said that. I'd go in another room for just a bit just for some peace. Kids are used to being put in time out but it doesn't always work. Well, I think somebody needs to call a time out here today. Since it doesn't look like that is going to happen, I'm putting myself in time out. By the way, I have not posted any of the negative comments here today but I have clicked on one too many. So....tomorrow is a new day. Hope everyone gets up on the right side of the bed tomorrow. Happy Tuesday!!!! Ta-ta for now!
Group insurance for IC sm
Are there any companies that have group rates for self- employed? Just curious.
This happened to a group of us
at Heartland a few years back approximately 2 weeks prior to Christmas. Have your friend file for unemployment right away. This seems to be so common in this business and it is disgraceful. She needs to pick herself up and just apply for a new job. She will find a replacement and move on .. be stronger for it too .. she has the power of this community behind her in prayers and good wishes.
From the Yahoo Group.

I believe DSP Group Truespeech was
was used. I will give that a try to see how that works.
Thanks a million!
Was the group out of Marietta?
I saw something similar on local news where transcriptions, I think about 4, were not getting their pay but I do not believe it said medical. Do you have any other info?
She said they said group b Streptococcus --
that is the way I always type it.
Group halloween costumes
Need halloween costume for 4 people, group ideas. We don't want anything like sponge bob or cartoony. ANy good ideas??? we have a party to go to.
The Hay Group did a national survey
in 1999. It was very comprehensive, and covered hospital, service and IC MTs across the country. I'm looking at it now, and the drop in compensation between then and now is sickening.
If you contact them, perhaps they have updated the figures. They're online at haygroup with the usual before and after.
We aren't a therapy group here.
 Some of you need to get off it!
Maybe we should form a support group
"Rad MTs Anonymous" - LOL
But hey, anyone who has participated in this thread who had a similar experience to mine is welcome to email me. I would be happy to swap stories, offer support, and just generally help you (and me) feel that we are not alone in this.
Thanks to everyone who responded positively. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Anyone want to do a group savings club?
Just trying to drum up a little motivation.
If we pact to do 100 lines a day more each day that we earn and then put that net amount into savings each paycheck, it can add up a bit!
For me, that would be 500 lines a week or $160 a month gross. By the time my taxes are taken out, that's about $131 a month net and THAT adds up to $1572 a year!
Any takers?! See who earns the most for it or heck even stays with it?!
