This is a wise, wise woman! nm
From a thankful gay guy who needed a word of encouragement tonight. God bless!
My Mom, who was a very wise woman, would tell you...
to love her anyway just the way she is and realize that "everyone is doing the best they can with what they have to work with." Plus, life's 2 short and life is fragile.
good taste, nan!

Good thinking Wise MT about the blanket. I use fingerless gloves for the hands. NM. Thank you for
one good woman
Q: How many women with MENOPAUSE does it take to
change a light bulb?
A: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY?
Because no one else in this house knows
HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know
that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit
in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out.
And, once they figured it out,
they wouldn't be able to find the
light bulbs despite the fact that
they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD
for the past 17 YEARS!
But if they did, by some
miracle of God, actually find
them 2 DAYS LATER, the chair
they dragged to stand on to
change the STUPID light bulb would
STILL BE IN
THE SAME SPOT!!!!!
AND UNDERNEATH
IT WOULD BE THE
WRAPPER THE
STUPID LIGHT
BULBS CAME IN!!!
BECAUSE NO ONE
EVER CARRIES OUT
THE GARBAGE!!!!
IT'S A WONDER WE
HAVEN'T ALL
SUFFOCATED FROM
THE PILES OF
GARBAGE THAT
ARE A FOOT DEEP
THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRE HOUSE!!
IT WOULD TAKE
AN ARMY TO
CLEAN THIS
HOUSE!
I'm sorry.... What was the question?
Hillary not enough of a good woman (sm)
for you?
Diary of a Mad Black Woman -- Good movie.
I thought it was so good. I just went through an affair (my husband being the cheater, while I was pregnant), and she gave me such confidence. I don't know, I just really liked the movie. Thought it was great.
Therapy for what? Because I don't support any woman who spouts an idea because she is a woman?
And you fall into the "therapy" or drug routine? Why not address the issues. You want women to support women no matter how ridiculous the idea is or you want to support a truth, no matter who tells it. The rest of the "therapy" crap you post is BS. You must know that by now.
Also, what does it taste like?
Is there something comparable to the taste? I also wondered about what it is. I thought it was a super dose of caffeine.
I do think it is in bad taste to ask for money, but
if you say to make donations to a favorite charity seems okay. I saw an article some place recently that said about what I have said here.
You have excellent taste in men. My first choice also.
He has it all. Class, dignity, intelligence and charm and oh so cute/handsome/sexy.
You have great taste, my friend!
I don't drink at all ever - hate the taste...nm
.
Either way, the comment was in very poor taste.

I liked his music but he's way too liberal loony agenda for my taste

Anyone have a home remedy for loss of taste/smell?
This sinus cold has been dragging on for nearly 2 weeks now..going on day 5 of absolutely no sense of taste or smell....soooooooo tired of this
I haven't had taste or smell for over 10 years due to chemotherapy.
Sometimes that's a GOOD thing. Seriously.
home remedy for loss of taste/smell
How about zinc? I was told years ago that this helps with loss of taste and smell.
Your taste runs to slender effeminate boys. That's the way it is and how Jude Law
makes a "living" as well as Justin Timberlake. There are those who aren't attracted to manly men and enjoy seeing a pretty boy. BTW, Toby Keith has some excellent tight jeans and long legs and I don't see doughboy but it is relative if you prefer the looks of Jude Law/Justin Timberlake/Leonardo DeCaprio. And he appeared w/o his hat on many times. Not bald by any stretch like Garth Brooks. But having said that, Garth Brooks, dough-boy and balding was hot in his day.
it's TASTE. You have lost sight of the original concept of the posts.
i'm not doing an ethical evaluation on why i am drawn to toby keith or if he may be gay or rock hudson's qualities if he was gay or jude law. it is just the type of guy women are drawn to and why. shallow has nothing to do with the discussion. but you aren't paying attention are you?
You are wise do be so thorough in your
research before committing time and money to training. By the way, you've made a very good choice for your education. Andrews is the gold standard for MT education. For a different perspective on life on the job as an MT, visit www.mtchat.com, click on the "message center" tab, and start reading. Read all the sticky topics (especially at the top of the New MTs section), read the archives, read the Andrews forum on that site, read the messages posted on the MT Business board; in short, read everything. I think you will get a different perspective on the profession from the very professional and articulate folks who frequent that site. Good luck with your training and in your career.
Very wise, but even better. sm
Lovely elderly couple came into my old office. Married for 68 years. Holding hands to boot. I asked them what made their marriage work so long. The elderly gentleman winked at me and said, "Well, it's simple. I always get the last words . . . .'yes dear.' "
Wise MT
I will certainly be praying for you. I will pray that you can hang in there! It has to be so hard.
SE and IC mostly same tax-wise except...sm
As an IC, you must pay the self-employment tax, which is your FICA, but you get to deduct half of it. Schedule C stays the same. I've been both IC and SE before. DISCLAIMER: I am not a CPA or tax professional. For qualified tax advise, please contact a tax professional.
A WORD FROM THE WISE!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR POSTING. SOMETIMES IT IS NICE TO KNOW YOUR NOT ALONE! I THINK I PROBABLY WILL HAVE HAVE TO FILE FOR DISABILTY BUT IT JUST KILLS ME, NOT TO FEEL LIKE A FUNCTIONAL MEMBER OF SOCIETY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I STILL HOPE DEEP DOWN TO FIND THE RIGHT ONE TO GIVE ME A CHANCE IN A NEW CAREER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING.

Actually the "three wise men"
that's how they knew to look for the star of Bethlehem and recognized the amazing event foretold by the stars.
Grow up? How about you wise up?
So, you mean to tell me that having 1 or 2 glasses of wine or beers is enough to call someone drunk? Come on and WISE UP!
Again, I didn't ask WHO GETS DRUNK AND TRANSCRIBES, I asked who has a few drinks while transcribing.
Being in the vicinity of MY OWN HOME having a drink or TWO and transcribing is no big deal to me. Some of you people are SO UPTIGHT and I think NEED TO DRINK!
HICCUP, pardon me!
Yes, that is a wise decision. (nm)
dd
Wise move.
I've been an IC with many companies and an employee with a few others. I've found that many if not most of the supervisors and managers at these places are dead weight authoritarians who get high and justify their existence by puking on people who work for a living. I left at least one place precisely because they tried to hold me responsible for mistakes made by the dictator. Happens all the time.
I wouldn't wish a future in MT on anyone.
I don't think that optometrically wise buying off the
c
well darn. I thought I was being wise
in getting rid of credit cards - just down to 1 bank card and 1 store card that I only use when having a sale and we need new clothes and that I have 90 days to pay off without interest.
It's wise to dedicate one pc solely
for work purposes, in addition to having a back-up pc available. If you do not have a medica/pharma spellchecker download on your pc, it's a good idea to purchase it. Depending on who you will be transcribing for you may need an unlimited long distance calling plan if you do not have it already. A high speed connection is recommended and necessary by most companies. Up-dated virus protection is a must. A printer may be required. You are a step ahead of the game by already having purchased a desk and a comfortable chair, which are a must. If you need to purchase a foot pedal, I would recommend buying a new one. So, depending on what you already have, start-up costs can run anywhere from $100.00 to approximately 1,000.00, and while it may seem like a huge expense, you should recoup these expenses within 3 months of working. Good luck to you and enjoy!
I don't think it would be wise to quit over half a mil
that's not gonna last you a lifetime! I think you should be reasonable. What about health insurance? Are you married? Do you have a lot of debt? There are a lot of factors inolved.
Oops..why not wise.. long day. NM
Very wise post. Didnt look at it this way before.

I do much better $ wise with clinic notes
I have local office accounts and also work part-time for a national. The repetitive nature of doing the same dictator day in and day out increases my production at least 30-50%; more expanders, more normals, familiar terminology, etc.
Right now I am averaging $25.00+ an hour on my local notes, and less than $12.00 with my national acute care. I do have more taxes and such with my locals as it is 1099 income but I still come out much better on clinic notes.
good luck!
Already did. They are outrageous cost-wise
I have to pay $60 a month for LOCAL service only.They don't have DSL where I live. They keep saying they are going to get it here, but it's been 4 years since that statement was made..
Thanks for the suggestion, though. It seems that these companies think everybody lives in a progressive area and make a lot of money. I live in a rural area and the phone company has no interest in being #1 where I live. I have a choice of Comcast or Direct TV and that's it.
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.
you're welcome. You made a wise choice--sm
but also realize that our words are not just for us, they are for everyone reading this, who may be in the same situation and who do not have the courage to make a change in their lives. What we say to each other may just give someone else the courage to live a good decent life, without the need for drugs or alcohol, or someone in our lives who uses them. I am happy for you. I am happy for me. We are free. Good luck to you.
Word to the wise.....never send any money until ...
you are absolutely positive the school is reputable. I had a friend who lost $350.
P.S. - I'm alot stronger cardio-wise also
NM
You are wise to hold off on a major purchase until sm
you see how the system is going to pay. Eight years ago our hospital outsourced their department and I went with the account to a large national. I went from making $24-26 an hour to making $8-10 an hour. It has taken me 8 years to get back up to $16-18 an hour. One of the girls that I worked with had just built a new house. I'm not positive, but I believe she lost it.
This change may not affect you much, so I wouldn't worry about it. Just wait until you see how it turns out. It may not make much difference at all to your salary. But you can always look for a house when you're sure of your financial situation. Good luck.
Penny wise and pound foolish
Cheap ones don't save in voice files. They're hard to use so most likely your doc will not bother to pause or rewind for dictation. You may save some money now but you will end up wasting more time to decipher the recording. The best one is Olympus DS5000... every word can be heard clearly with that.
You're in the minority pay-wise, but hey, as long
as you're making your money, screw everyone else.
You would think this office would wise up but guess not until it is too late. I am from Amherst and
I guarantee you I am looking. I pity anyone who gets hired by MQ for Amherst. That all situation is an absolute joke. They need to get rid of the people up there responsible for these problems.
My head is not in the sand - I am a very wise and "shrewd" individual
as far as jobs go. You are entitled to your opinion; however, Dictaphone is not the best VR software out there. I work on the best, and believe me, the hospitals will need MT/editors for a long time. Maybe not 30 years, but I make enough money to put at least 4K away a month, so by the time I can retire, I will have a hefty savings account to live on.
I am getting while the getting is good!
Good luck with your nursing career!
Still doesn't make sense content-wise.
A flax is gonna take care of the patient? I'm not comfortable that is correct.
well it's really down to the nitty gritty pay issue. everything is relative pressure-wise
I mean if you get paid enough for the pressure it makes it a little more worthwhile than the feast or famine world of the MT. You know what I mean?
