I've decided to get my motorcycle license, already passed my permit test and am starting to learn to ride. I don't know yet if I'm going to learn on a 350 or a 650, but am starting to get excited. My state offers a weekend course where you go both days for instruction and training and give your license all in one weekend. My dad loved motorcycles, my sons both have motorcycles, and now it's my turn. So, satisfy my curiosity, anyone else have this interest?

motorcycle
I ride a Harley, Heritage Softail, a big bike, I have been riding for about 3 years now. Watch out taking that course, I broke my leg taking mine. I love riding, my husband and I ride all the time, being a Transcriptionist lets me ride during the day, and work at night.

ride
What color - I saw a light purple one here in the boondocks and it was gorgeous....Odd, but gorgeous...
I ride my own
I got my license about 5 years ago. I took the training course and passed. I started riding on a Honda 500 and then went to my now bike, a Yamaha V-Star 650 and I love it. I've met so many nice people and have made so many new friends over the years. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
I ride
Got my license a few years ago. If your school is like mine, you ride nothing over a 250. But I have a 650 now and love it!!
Wow, what a ride!
I just read your story and she and the baby are so darned lucky! It is downright creepy how people can get away with saying they are something, even provide legit-looking documentation, yet are completely corrupt. I'd certainly be making a call to my Attorney General's office with her name, address, and all the info they have on her.
Please pass along my congratulations and hope mom is back on her feet and feeling better soon!
What does Pimp My Ride mean??
Pimpin yo ride
It you had it to do again (being a teen with a hooty of your choice) what ridge would you pimp out. I am a child of the 70-80s so mine would be an 82 IROC camaro. Rim it out and the sparkly black paint. Mild tint.
my best ride still is a 4-legged one.

he's getting a free ride
Why would the mooch want to move out? Basically, he gets a free ride until shove him out the door. You haven't done anything wrong. This guy will continue to take advantage of this for as long as you let him get away with it. Been there. Done that.
My pimpin' ride is out in the garage.
It's a 1968 Ford Mustang. I had a mechanic friend build me a racing motor and transmission so I can race it at the car shows. It's going to be way more cherry than my Mercury Cougar ever was. I picked up some chrome Cragar wheels for it. The paint was going to be blue, but blue Mustangs are so cliche. I picked out a really wild, feminine metallic color and ghost flames for it. It's going to be a girlie car with an attitude. 
ya gotta know what Pimp My Ride is
If you have teens, young adults (especially boys) and be able to carry on a conversation with them on a subject they like. The kids hanging around here are always talking about it. So, I actually watched the show one day and it's wild what they can do to a regular car
There's no such thing as a free ride.
The only person making money off that guy's book is him. You can't make big bucks doing next to nothing. Anyone who tells you that you can is scamming you. Never pay for any job, kit, startup, information or anything.
I've done secret shopping. It's a pain in the backside and works out to $10 per hour or less. I've sold on ebay but couldn't find wholesalers willing to give a decent rate to a small potatoes client. I've looked into those real estate investor/house flipper programs, but that only works if you've got capital to lay down, a decent credit score and a good housing market. I've purchased every secret book and plan that's out there, but they're all lame. No useful information whatsoever.
The only way to make decent money is through education and hard work.
Yup...friends of ours think I am getting a "free ride"
I guess this means I sit at a computer "pretending" to work and get a "fake" paycheck. In my opinion, I feel that people who make these comments are truly jealous. In my case, they don't see how I can work and tend to my daughter's needs. I take her to pre-school and dance. I'm sorry for those that don't have this luxury, but if you continue getting comments like that, just turn the other way and ignore it. You know you work your tail (and fingers) off for your paycheck just like they do. That's all that matters.
I won't let my kids ride with inexperienced drivers.
On the other hand, my sister just let her daughter drive a 300 mile round trip with friends and no parental supervision. My niece has had her license for less than 4 months and is only 15 years old. The parent is trying to be the "friend" instead of enforcing rules.
FWIW, the only car accident I was involved in was with a girl who only had her license for three days. She didn't use turn signals or her brakes, just geared down and decided to stop on a 55 mph two-lane right in front of me with oncoming traffic.
Well, that's all folks. All gifts have been given. It's been a wild ride

License
I shouldn't have said insurance, that is always the misleading on my part and I'm trying to work on that. If it's not insurance, then why would I need to be licensed? And again, as far as the providers, check the website to see if there are any providers next to you. I always check before I sign up a new member to make sure they will be able to use the benefits.
LIcense
Have been doing this for 15+ years and when I first called the City of Portland, they said no, but they have since changed their lawa and now I need one. Pay a percentage of what I make per year on the net. But each city could be different but if you want all the advantages of being a business with write-off's etc. you gotta pay. I have absolutely no traffice to my house,. my subs work in their own home but still need a City of Portland busoiness license. Sorry if I made typo's as I am typing without my reading glasses -- kind of like being blind.

PS check with your state about registering your name of business also.
Getting an IC license?
 How do you go about getting your IC license? I'm in Montana. Thanks!
license
I don't know, I don't need a license where I live at all. I checked with an accountant who deals with MTs and I just get listed as a sole proprieter and that's it. If I hire subs I just file 1099s but I don't need any kind of incorporation or license or anything. You should check with someone locally. Sometimes the library has help for small business people but you'll probably save yourself some frustration by asking around to find someone who knows something about MT.
IC license
In my state, you have to have an independent contractor's license, which you obtain through your state's Dept. of Labor & Industry (or whatever it is called in your state). The doctors' offices I have contracted through also wanted me to show that I have liability insurance. If you work for an MTSO, I don't know that they would require the liability insurance and you should probably ask them.
Business license...sm
You'll probably need an Occupational License if you'll be filing as self employed on your 1040. Check with your local state or city tax department. I live in Florida and I'm required to have an OL from both my county and my city and both must be renewed yearly.
My dog has a driver's license. sm
He loves to chase cars, but the high gas prices have forced him to get a job so he can continue.
Business license
My attorney says it does not make a difference if you are working out of your own home or not. If you have an income-generating business, you need a business license. The best thing to do is to call your local Department of Business Registration in your own city and ask.
I live in VA too and have to have a license
Not sure why the person above says she doesn't have to have one. I checked with my local office for the Commissioner of Revenue and they stated that I DO need one if I am working out of my home. Both of the local companies that I work for insisted that I have a business license also before they would send me any work. Just make sure you check with the appropriate people so you don't get into trouble later down the line. My license is only $40 a year, so it's not bad at all.
Business License
As you see, there is a lot of controversy with this business license issue. Do I or don't I? Many factors are involved. I live in Ohio and I also have many friends who have their own businesses and they advertise in the yellow pages. One friend has had a chimney sweep business and still does for the last 15+ years. He was not required to obtain a business license... his social security number is his license number used for reporting all income to the IRS. He also occasionally has a few friends who help him with chimney inserts and he pays them by check with his business name printed on those checks. He simply reports and pays all taxes, even city taxes due to the fact he works for many residents throughout several cities in this state. He deducts just about everything and anything you could possibly think of also. I would think after doing this for 15+ years, he would have been in trouble if it were not legal, especially since he is a fire fighter still working for the city he lives in. In working for MQ, you can also deduct any office supplies you purchase in order to do your job, i.e., even when they used to charge rental fees for you to use their computers when you or if you were statuatory or PT. Moving forward, I also know a friend of my family who is close to 65 years old, also living in this state, and he has been an IC for over 30 years. He is a journalist for a few outdoor magazines, charges his fees, advertises, and also works for a major company here as an IC.......all without a business license. Again, just a formality of making sure you report any and all income. After 30 years, he would have had an audit by now. I agree with everyone that it depends on what state you live in and/or city. Good luck and I hope you find the answers you are looking for.
Unfortunately, the license is required sm
I have never had to have one, but the clinic I am going to work for requires it. It is a lot of hassle, and I can't wait until it's over and done with :)
Problem with PDM License key ??
I have been offered to work for a transcription company from a friend (she knows the boss) and have already installed Gear Player on my computer. The boss sent me a Philips Digital Pocket Memo disc to help me hear the sound and during installation it asks me for the "License Key." I don't have it or the book or anything with a number in it. I called this boss and she said the book was lost and for me to contact the Philips company. I did via email and I left a voicemail and hope they call me tomorrow (Monday, 10/2). Shouldn't she have handled this since she bought it? grrrr I'll see how far I get with the Philips people and if I can't then I'll ask her to please call. I'm near to Gear Player but if I can't install this disc and do some work (I need the $$ badly!) I'll have to look on the job board for any that require this. Signed_ Frustrated but Ready MT of 23 years experience!
Business license
You need to check with your city and state to see what you need. Portland, OR tried to crack down on some IC's especially if you declare yoursef as a small business. 16 years ago they said no, now they say yes. I just did it this year to be safe and legal. I also registered the name of my company with the state. Good luck.
What is a gearplayer license?
How is this obtained?
business license in GA
I live in GA and I have been told by my city hall that I have to purchase a business license, (which I've been doing for a few years now). Now they want to tax all my office equipment on a yearly basis as well as want me to pay for the yearly business license. I tried explaining to them that I do not run a business from home, that I just work for someone (as an IC). They told me it does not matter. Okay, I can see having to purchase a business license (whatever), to be compliant with the law, but the fact that they now want to tax my equipment every year; that's going over the line, in my opinion.
License transfers
When you buy software you buy the license to use it. You can use Instant Text on more than one computer if you are the only user.
You can transfer your Instant Text license to another person (sell the software) by notifying Textware Solutions - once you sold IT - that you are no longer using the software and that you transfer your software license (which includes tech support) to the new user providing name and email of the new user.
The new user should make sure she/he gets the media, the book, and the registration number which is necessary to receive tech support and Upgrade prices on later versions.
Version 1.11 came out in 1996. Nobody is using Windows 3.5 anymore. Why would you buy an obsolete version?
As for Version III Pro, you also will be buying a software that is 10 years old. I know, many Instant Text users are still very happy with it, but they have received the tech support when they needed it, and don't mind that it is not available anymore.
When you look for an expander, consider the quality/price and compatibility equation. You may have to pay more, but you get advanced technology, and compatibility won't be an issue.
I hope this information helps.

Anyone required to have bus. license...sm
to work as IC? Was going to work for company, but require I have a business name and license. Also pay per page and not per line. Never ran across this before.
IC need business license?
No one responded to previous post. Maybe I worded it wrong. Company wants me to get a business license to work for them. Has anyone had to do this or required to have this?
Yes, must have business license
This can be obtained at City Hall for a minimal fee, and then renewed each year according to either city fee or based on gross earnings. Different states and cities have different rules. For example, I am not allowed any foot or car traffic and cannot even post my business name outside on the mailbox. I also had to get my landlord's authorization.
Yes, I require this from transcriptionists. It shows me they are working at a professional level and not just someone setting up shop in their living room, and then recklessly turn in low-quality work, or worse yet pad their invoices repeatedly. It is also required by law. You have to claim your income to the IRS.
If you use your name as your business, then you do not have to file a DBA, but you need a separate bank account for work. I would still file my name if used. Hope this helps.
You would only need a business license if
Your particular city/town/village required one for you to work from home, but then again, why would your town need to know? You wouldn't be bringing clients home most likely, haha!
You can be a sole proprietor or you can incorporate. Either way works for the IRS. All the IRS cares about is that you pay social security/Medicare taxes (15.3%) and income taxes on the profit. You will have to file Schedule SE to pay the social security taxes and Schedule C to deduct the expenses. Your taxable income from the business would be the bottom line on the Schedule C (gross receipts minus expenses).
It's really not that difficult - if you can read the IRS 1040 long form instruction booklet, you can file your own taxes. If you can't, there's a whole industry of accountants just waiting to help you out....
Good luck!
Just became IC myself. Do I need a small business license?
dd
My license is valid again. Yay! I called the
numbers on the suspended license notice this morning and was told to go to the courthouse, which I did. I told them I was contesting the ticket because it was not me who got it but I know who did get it. I explained what my sister did and the lady told me to go to DMV and file identity fraud charges where I fill out a form saying someone is using my name and give their name if I know who. That's done! She also cleared my name in the computer and gave me a copy of the ticket which says issued in error. The ticket was issued at 3 in the morning so she's lucky she didn't get a DUI on my name. The ticket shows her car and her license plate number. Gee, wonder how that happened? I now have a court hearing middle of September where I explain my case and the officer who wrote the ticket will be there. You can bet I'll be bringing life size photos of her to show that it wasn't me. Now I can breathe again, at least until September.
Hi JB - where I live no occupational license..sm
is warranted...I have absolutely no traffic to my house and I merely work off of computers - I live in Florida so no occupational license is needed for MT work at home.
You will file for the IRS after a year 1099's which you will have to pay taxes on - approximately 30% of what you earn will have to be paid to the IRS.
No question is a dumb question, the only dumb question is the one that isn't asked.
Best of luck. I pounded the pavement 10 years ago and still have a bunch of private MDs along with working weekends for a national.
They DON'T need you driver's license number.
Do not give anyone that number ever. Be smart with your private information. Never put your driver's license or SS# somewhere just because they have a line for it and that includes the doctor's office.
Don't need a license if working out of own home...sm
As an IC, you just set your own method of charging/payment, get your work, and go. Major concern is taxes. Just be sure you pay taxes on your income. Personally, I have an accountant and pay quarterly because it's just less worry for me to try to handle my own taxes. Obviously, that's it in a nutshell, but just need to get some work and get started.
Ditto - I don't need a license in VA but my husband had to get one - sm
for his lawn cutting business. County did this through our state tax returns (sch. C's). It was $33. When we got the renewal for 2006 we were supposed to submit a list of assets, etc. in order to pay personal property taxes on all the "business" equipment (we have personal property taxes in VA, cars, boats, etc)....luckily he had dissolved the business in 05/2005 and we did not have to do this, they put him down as being "inactive" and we did not have to renew or pay more taxes. That would have been a real drag it I had had to do it. Hopefully it will not change.
IC VERSUS BUSINESS LICENSE
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TALK TO AN ACCOUNTANT, NOT THE CITY. OF COURSE YOUR CITY WILL WANT YOU TO, IT'S MORE MONEY FOR THEM. YOU ARE NOT SELLING A "PRODUCT". I ALSO AM AN IC AND ACCORDING TO MY ACCOUNTANT, ALL I NEED TO DO IS OPEN A SAVINGS ACCT AND PUT IN 30% OF EACH PAY INTO IT FOR SS AND ALL TAXES. DEDUCT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU PURCHASE FOR YOUR JOB ALSO, I.E., EVEN CELL PHONE, DSL, % OF UTILITIES.....AN MORE.
I had a 400 cc Yamaha years ago - never got my license though - sm
took a motorcycle safety course with test 2 x but could not pass the "reaction" part of the test (did not react fast enough), so I just rode with a learner's permit each Spring/Summer for a couple years before I sold it. Lots of fun though. Would love to get another one day, a 250 would be nice, the 400 was too heavy for me to lift though I could ride it just fine.
You can get a year license from Shorthand
For just 25 bucks. You can renew every year, or decide you would rather pay the X dollars for a license that will not expire. The 25 a year is best (in my mind) because anymore with license that does not expire can only be used on a single computer and its a hassle, if you have a laptop that you use also - to remove it from one and add to another - and SH has cracked down and gets the computer keys when you purchase the one that does not expire.
With the one for a year, you can put it on your tower, your laptop and then just renew every year, or not.
I can also help to show you (if you like or need) to turn your autocorrects into ShortHand files.

Good luck!
Buying a software license
Michelle,
If you buy a "used" copy of Instant Text, what you are buying is a user license that the seller transfers to you and which means that the seller installs it from her/his computer.
Make sure the seller provides you with the original CD, the manual, and the serial number of the licens.
To be in compliance with the license agreement, the seller of a "used" copy must notify the software publisher about the license transfer so you, the new user, can get tech support.
This may be useful to know whatever you decide to do.
