Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.
Specifically,
"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."
But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?
I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?
I'm not talking about ignorant as in grammar or spelling. I'm talking about sm
ignorant in general.
Add me too!!! I appreciate it. About stores that
say "Merry Christmas" - I figure I don't need to do my CHRISTMAS shopping in those stores!
Stores
I think these stores pay minimum wage. Walmart is known to be a very bad employer so try the other one first.
thrift stores
When I first left my ex, I moved in with a coworker and her two sons. About twice a week, she would hit the thrift stores and antique stores. I started going with her. What a blast. I could not believe all the really good stuff you could buy for just a little bit of money. I usually check out thrift/resale stores about twice a month. One lady I used to work with at a local hospital, dressed so nice, so chic..She always looked so put together. One day at lunch she told us all of her clothes are bought at the local thrift store.
mom pop stores being squeezed
I agree 100%. If the little mom and pop stores were charging close to the prices of Wal-Mart, you bet I would shop there exclusively, however, I have to think about my family first and providing for them as I am the only one bringing in a measley Transcriptionist paycheck and I dont have enough hours in the day or enough energy to go back to school..So, I truly am sorry about the whole situation but isnt that what this administration and others have tried to brain wash us about..its all capitalism..so if a big company comes in and squeezes out the smaller ones, it is still capitalism? I dont agree with it but it is happening all over America and the little guy and working guy are being squeezed. I mean, it is even happening with us and outsourcing..This administration says outsourcing is a good thing yet it is taking middle class jobs. Oh, geez..truly sorry for the rant.
some of the dollar stores where everything
is a dollar carry them, that way you can afford as many as you want
If you PC stores any reports then...sm
you wouldn't be HIPAA compliant to allow them access to your PC for any reason. Tell them that you use your PC for work and cannot allow others to use it. Also think of it this way - what if they downloaded something that screwed up your system and you couldn't work for a while? Not worth the risk!
dead town-ban WM stores
A little over 20 years ago WM opened in our town even though they had a Howard's at that time and put them out of business. Our nice town also had a sporting goods store, fabric store, several pharmacies, several local clothing stores and pool supply place. The only one that survived were the pharmacies. WM moved out a little over a year ago. Now we have to go 30 miles to find anything that we can't find in a dollar store. Not only do we have a big empty building that they left, now we will have another empty building that a chain grocery store is leaving because WM built super stores in the surrounding towns that use to shop in our nice little town. I suspect it will take years, if ever, to recover. Our only hope is that we have good leadership in our community.
There are TONS of stores that I see every place I go.

I agree, best out there in the grocery stores.
We have Publix - MAJOR stores all over....sm
Publix says tipping is not allowed. I do not agree with that. They are loading TONS of stuff into cars, why shouldn't they get a tip? I tip, their bosses are not outside watching anyway and I don't know that anyone ever lost a job with Publix (one of the largest employers in the SE) due to this
to each his/her own I suppose 
How and where did you get it for free? Online you have to pay for it, and in stores you have to pay
We've used it the past 3 years and it could not be processed and sent w/o paying. Now, we could go through the motions, answer all the questions, and get the final result without paying, but to actually electronically file and receive our refund, that is when it asks for payment. So how'd you get yours free?
check out the junk stores
like Salvation Army. I paid $40 for a few at Office Depot type store and then found a few for $1.99 at our alcoholism junk store. They are Dell and great, and when they wear out, don't feel bad about just trashing them.
saving money/thrift stores
I first hit our local thrift store when my dear mom was in a nursing facility with Alzheimer's. She'd just forget where she "folded and put her clothes away" or the laundry would lose some. So, I was able to buy mom many beautiful blouses/tops, dresses for way too cheap. Usually walked out of there with 5-6 complete outfits under $20.00.
She's gone now, but in her memory, I still do my shopping stints there, then haul it over to the nursing home for those residents who don't have family, it truly helps me more than it helps them.
Exactly! The newspapers all say that the grocery stores are open.
Why are people in expensive cars waiting in line for free stuff then? There are 2,800 people staying in shelters that NEED to be helped for truly being victims of the storm rather than for being "victims" of lack of planning or preparedness. Believe me, we're not without compassion. We do care. However, people 50 or 100 years ago didn't sit back on their laurels waiting for others to do for them.
Barnes and Noble or any other book stores where you
can sit and have a cup of coffee and look at the books. I am single too right now but not really looking but if I were, Barnes and Noble or the library. Also, I have found that when I am not looking at all, I meet somebody. Good look!!!
Walmart opened up 15 stores in CHINA....nm

Rexall Drug Stores all had jukeboxes sm
at each table.
The ice cream truck came around and you got a cone for a nickel.
You could play flashlight tag at night without fear.
Drive-in movies were a blast.
Sunday afternoon movies were 75 cents to get in--mom and dad would send us there for the afternoon for a break (there were 5 of us).
The A&P store had green stamps. I still have the dinnerware set mom bought with them.
By the way, my '65 Mustang only costs me $2.00 a week to drive. I just don't take it out of town for fear of wrecking it.
Let's write to our local grocery stores
now and let them know we do not want to buy food from China, including produce. Please don't start taking apples from China. We trust apples from AMERICA and perhaps Australia and New Zealand, but China can keep their apples.
I guess Healthfood stores would carry these items.

I LOVE shopping for clothes at resale stores
I find fashionable, barely worn, name brand clothes. It really is fun!! I couldn't imagine paying for new clothes anymore!
It's a little harder to find good kids' clothes at the second hand stores, but I have found some really nice ones that are real bargains.
The card should have been given as gift cards for grocery stores, etc.

I have a sister who we call the "Queen of the Dollar Stores."
Bless her heart, she buys all her Christmas at dollar stores (decorations and all) and even gives me makeup or hair products that she has tried and doesn't like. She doesn't know that I know this, though. I just smile, hug her and go on. It's not that she can't afford any better, she just sweeps the dollar stores, gets everyone's gifts in about 30 minutes, and she is through for the season. I guess it's not supposed to be about the presents, but the thought (but sometimes I wonder what that thought was, LOL)! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Yeah, but are these other companies trying to put stores in every market in the country?
I think that is what makes Wal-Mart so "evil" and scares me so badly. Soon we won't have ANYONE left to buy our goods from because they force all the other competitors out of business (particularly the small business owners) and then we are FORCED to buy everything from overseas countries/Wal-Mart.
Publix stores are starting to look like Super Wal-Marts! Have you seen that?
What news channel? I have to use my debit as a credit at stores and such. NM

Garage sales, consignment stores, coupons
If your income for the prior year is below 24,000 in Calif., you are eligible for 20% discount on gas/elec. Also, if your income is less than 12,000/yr, you are eligible for food bank visits once a month which total about $120.00. It has been six years since I went down this road, so the figure may have changed.
After a divorce, major surgery and no job, I found myself penniless. I had yard sales daily. Went to swap meets and sold my things there. Also, took my finer clothes to a consignment shop. Used coupons to determine what I would be eating. Thank God, I had no children.
I think when you have kids, you really need a nest egg of some sort that is absolutely untouchable.
This sounds like a temporary situation if you price your home to sell.
Some of the craft stores like Michael's carry them in funky colors, too. nm

Every K-Mart around me folded and died. No such stores here. Walmart is thriving.
I was glad to see the K-mart stores close. They were so dirty and junky and staff just stood around existing only for a paycheck. Hope your K-Mart is better but I wonder how long they can last with Superstore Walmart.
In my town Walmart is the way to go...local grocery stores are outrageous!!! sm
There is no way to feed a family of five at any of the stores in our town! My grocery bill was cut in half when Walmart moved in!
Most larger drug stores carry a selection of OTC braces and will order others, too. nm

Check all the brands in other stores. It's all outsourced. Nike, Rebok, Liz Claiborne.
It leaves our country in the hands of the politicians who sold us out in the first place.
Led Zeppelin is so old they're ready for a nursing home. And the grocery stores

They make darn good money at most large grocery stores
No, I don't tip them. If I thought they weren't getting paid hourly, then I might. I might tip someone who gave extra great service, like coming home and carrying them in the house for me, (j/k!) but most places where you are expected to tip, people just expect the tip and take it for granted anymore and don't always treat you well enough to deserve one!
rice, bakery outlets, loss leader at the grocery stores,
My favorite cheap meal is cooking chicken leg quarters in a crock pot with an 1/4 onion and tumeric. Serve them with rice and lentils.
Here is a list of cheap foods: PB&J, bacon (cook two 2 slices at a time to put in eggs and beans), carrots, potatoes, beans (lentils are the easiest to cook IMHO), pasta, rice (use oil instead of butter to save $), eggs, Totinos pizza, and frozen mixed veggies.
www.stretcher.com under groceries has some good ideas.
www.hillbillyhousewfie.com has good ideas too. She has a good list called Everyday Bargains.
Do you have a bakery outlet close by? They usually have great deals on bread and bakery junk food. For $4 you can walk away with a big bag of bread, bagles, cake, ect.
I'm a single mom so I can't do this but if you can go grocery shopping without children that will help. Most stores have a loss leader for meat on sale each week. I would buy that meat and make mix it with rice or ramen noodles for dinner.
Most churches have food pantries. If you call one that does not have one, ask where there is a food bank. Church secretaries get so many calls for help they are usually experts at what the organizations available. Some Catholic Churches have St. Vincent DE Paul societies, they will either give you food or a gift card to a grocery store. Call the parish office and ask if the is one. We recieve food stamps now but I have been to food banks. They usually give canned food, pasta, and bread.

get a Belken control switch box - about $20 at office supply stores. Use regular printer cable. NM

Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy. We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location.
Working holidays? Out shopping in stores where someone IS working
that holiday you refuse to work? Grocery stores, food joints & seems any store is open on holidays and you expect them to be fully staffed, so why shouldn't we?
Yes, I took off for the first time on Christmas day, in 18 years and it was great, but I worked Christmas eve and this whole past weekend.
Someone has to do it!

I'd be talking to someone

I know exactly what you are talking about.
There are a lot of people like you are talking about living in trailer parks. However, there are trailer parks around where I live that are nothing like what you are talking about. My point is that you should not lump everyone who lives in low-income housing together and label them as trash. A lot of people who live in these nice neighborhoods with all their wealth, got that wealth dishonestly. They may not be underachievers, but these people are criminals, no matter where they live. They may be your neighbor. It would be the same thing if everyone thought if you were wealthy, then you had to be a crook in order to get that way. The way things are going there are going to be a lot more poor people in this country, maybe even you. I certainly do not wish you any misfortune, but you may not always be able to afford to live in those nice neighborhoods with the high property values. We can argue all day about it and not get any further. The fact remains that there are stigmas regarding all kinds of things. Even if it is partly based on facts, it still boils down to prejudice.
I think you are talking about something all together

are you all talking about?

know what you are talking about first
For your information, I had already submitted my test. I was not "cheating" as you put it. I didn't know what the word was and could not find it through my own research so I asked. I am SURE that asking for assistance AFTER the test had already been submitted is NOT cheating, but trying to actually LEARN what the word was that I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. If I had thought for a second that I needed to clarify to YOU the reasoning behind my request I most certainly would have asked you for permission first. My goodness.
