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?!

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.
Welcome to the club, NN...
Instead of Sloan Kettering, I typed Sloan Cattery multiple times in a report. I worked at a veterinary school and it made sense to me. Luckily the boss caught it before it was sent. But, yes, with the volume of reports most of us produce in a day, there are bound to be some errors.
If that is Yuck's club no thanks
her idea of cool is sitting and popping her pimples all day and then having her husband pop the ones on her fat butt all night. That is why he left ya know. Well, one of the reasons anyway.
Yep. -- Welcome to the protectors club.
Sounds like me too.
How about Celebrity Fit Club??
Does anyone get into that? I think this season will be good. I'm Tempestt Bledsoe's age and I loved her in Cosby Show. Go Vanessa!! I'm also curious about Young MC. That's good ole school stuff. Tee hee.
Celebrity Fit Club
Just finished the show. Really good. I have to agree with the poster from earlier today that Tempestt did look wonderful. She is radiant. She and Chastity are motivating me. I'm going to look into that SMASH diet they were talking about. Who's with me? No more cookies !!! No more cookies !!! Ugh, did I just type that "out loud" ??
Phone savings
I am trying to come up with a solution for all of this. I have a remote office at my Mom's 10 minutes from my home (in another state actually) where I have DSL. I have a phone line there that I use for my fax machine. They installed the DSL on my Mom's regular line (for some reason). I just pay her for the DSL and the extra phone line. I could get rid of the extra line if I could figure out a way to receive faxes. I am thinking about changing from DSL to cable internet there. Here at home I have dial-up internet and 2 phone lines. My daughter is a heavy computer and phone user so there is really no other way that I can come up with. We have cell phones, but are in a very poor service area. My remove office is in an even poorer cell phone service area. We have satellite available here at home, and I do not think the company I subcontract with now would care if I used it. However, Directway is the only satellite option and it is pretty expensive. Then again, it would not require 2 phone lines, and with Vonage we might actually come out better.
Sam's Club will get you every time! You cannot
Then it is such a hassle trying to find a place to put it all! I go there to save $ but it just wears me out!
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
Feel better!
18 years.. Can I be in the club?
It pays the bills. I love it, hence my name!!! 
What about a gardening club?
You might check on-line and see if there are any gardening groups in your area. Or ask neighbors about it. Or you might consider starting a home bible class if there is anything you want to study. They have books to help you at the Christian book store. Or if you have pets, I discovered there are breed and non-breed dog clubs around. You can find those on line for your area.
Good luck!
savings for the company but
not such a happy ending for the 21 FTEs who no longer have jobs..?
Our company is just now switching over to VR and they keep assuring us that they do not forsee cutting staff, but I'm not so sure.
I got mine at Sam's Club for about $70.
My arms don't adjust and I don't have a headrest, but I do have a high back. My only recommendation is to be sure you get a chair where the seat and the back touch, not like the cheaper ones where there is only a small back piece and your lower back isn't supported.
Hope You Have Some Savings!!
It took my husband's daughter-in-law FOREVER to get her first unemployment check. Right now they are being indundated with applications for the new Honda plant that is being built in Greensburg. A few weeks ago they opened applications for 18 non-production jobs and got 7500 applications. This past Sunday they opened applications for production jobs and by Monday morning they have received more than 6000 applications. Honda is only allowing applications from 21 counties surrounding the plant. There are even people moving from Ohio in order to be eligible just to complete an application. It's crazy!! I don't know if that has anything to do with unemployment benefits being slow to get but all Indiana state agencies are screwed up now with our governor moving to privatize everything.
Good Luck!

Grocery savings, and web link
We shopped at Aldi Foods when all our kids were at home - teenagers and toddlers at the same time - this was a big help with keeping grocery $$ lower. I think they take only cash or ATM (no credit cards - which is probably a good thing).
Gardening and canning your own produce can help save money on your grocery bill, as well as homegrown produce is better for you nutritionally. It is time consuming, however.
A favorite web site - The Dollar Stretcher http://www.stretcher.com
I opened a savings account ...
and I put 30% of everything I earn in there. Then I can be sure of not spending the money and it is available for the quarterly payments.
If I didn't do that, I KNOW I would spend it and then having trouble coming up with the payment.
Wow! Congratulations! Taxes, then savings....
If you want to take time off to be with your daughter, how about asking for a reduced schedule for a while instead of whatever you have now? That way, you can decide later if you really do want to keep the job or if you don't, and you won't be rushing into any decision in the heat of the moment. Best wishes to you.
eh I like it. It's kinda like a savings plan for me.
Plus I get the child tax credit. Usually get around 5 grand back. Nice. but after buying an HDTV, computer and two Xbox 360s last year this one will alllll go to the credit card companies!
You don't manage your own savings account?
5 grand instead of the government. 
How about a Marriott Vacation Club villa?
They have several in Orlando. I haven't checked the price recently but I think a 2 bdr villa used to be in the $220 per night range - full kitchen, washer/dryer, everything you need.

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.
JUST A REMINDER - IT IS DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIMES
At least we no longer have a cough, not to mention the savings $$$.
dd
I know the Club Med there will not be open until June 2006, if that is of any help. sm
No doubt a travel agent could give you an idea of how things are. If it was me, I think I'd wait a bit. They were hit pretty hard, and there is a lot of cleanup, I'm sure.
Wherever you go, have some sun in the fun for me! 
Poll-Daylight Savings Time
Like or dislike?
Personally I dislike it very much. It changes everything with my sleep cycle, work cycle, and even my emotions. It is too much of a bodily adjustment that I personally would wish not to experience twice a year. Anyone else???
Maybe Surreal Life or Celebrity Fit Club? lol - nm

what is the rationale for going digital, your savings on mileage?
you need to sell the doc on the advantages HE will receive from digital, i.e. better quality = fewer blanks/errors, ability to STAT, perhaps even improve the TAT on his transcription?
Don't mess with my line counts to get that $.01 savings !!!! n/m
v
actually I buy I bonds, can't trust myself with a savings account
x
Yes, it's the same principle, except no checkbook or savings acct.
Just the card. You don't receive a monthly statement. You can log onto the website and check your account transactions and card balance anytime. For me it's more convenient then balancing a checkbook and no more bounced checks! Either the money is there or it's not.
I'm in the 40's club also Kiki and wondering the same thing but the way I sm
see it is I'll be working until I'm at least 70, so I have a good 30 years left to work! Funny thing is I'll be going to college at the same time as my oldest 2 children which is kind of neat!!
Mine is a DJ at at strip club and yes, he's a wonderful, trustworthy man :) nt

Lord, preserve me from Sam's Club! That place is dangerous!
No check=MTSO fault. No savings or cushion=

Club Sandwiches, Chips, Pickles, Carrot Slaw
exciting, huh? :)
hate daylight savings time, LOVED living in AZ for 2 years!
used to whatever time you are on, some government says, "EVERYBODY CHANGE AGAIN!"
Agree! I hate Daylight Savings Time. It takes me a good two weeks
to get myself and everybody in the household adjusted to the time change every six months. If the farmers need to get up earlier, let 'em! That doesn't mean I should have to, also! DST has definitely outlived its usefulness. I stay up later and get up earlier in the summer, but go to bed earlier and sleep later in the winter. It's like my mind and body are tied to the sun, not the clock. I never got an extra hour of sleep last night anyways because the neighbor's stupid dog barked from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
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! :)
Another group to join...sm
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!
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!
