Bless your heart
I hope you quickly work your way into a better pay range.
Bless your heart...
you replied with Peace out, & I replied with guns-a-blazin'...what the heck did I do, forget that great thread from yesterday 
my bad...*sigh*
Bless your heart ...
Are you getting enough sleep? That's pretty important!
Also, how long are you up before you start typing? Do you eat breakfast? You need a good mix of protein and carbs before you start typing. Perhaps a little exercise..??
On your expander, slow is fine on adding to it. Limit yourself to 5-10 shortcut entries a day. Write them down and keep them posted on your screen until you can use them without looking at the list. Then take that list down and work on another 5-10 shortcuts. They won't do you any good if you cannot remember to use them. When naming shortcuts, do whatever comes to mind first, whatever is natural.
Don't spend too much time on ESLs if you truly cannot understand what is being said. I don't like blanks either but there is a difference in beating your head against a wall over unintelligible gibberish versus doing a quick (3 minutes is my limit) research of meds, instruments, terms, diseases, etc. Don't be your own worst enemy here!
Working efficiently is not a matter of how fast you are, it is how streamlined you think.
bless your heart!

Oh bless your heart! ...
I'm so happy for your success. You're an encouragement to me that one day before I finally get out of this profession that I'll be able to experience wonderful financial rewards again, if only for a brief moment in my case.
I appreciate you sharing your experience with us and keeping it real.
Bless your heart ...
Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side of the fence; sometimes it's not. The important thing is that now you'll never regret knowing if you lost that 'perfect opportunity' or not and you were welcomed back with open arms to your true home. Sincere best wishes to you on your continued success.
Bless your heart. You won't forget that one again soon, huh. nm

Bless your heart! I wish I knew what to tell you
Flu is hitting hard. I'm surprised you can work this soon. I wish you the best! I didn't have the flu, but caught some kind of "bug" going around and had pneumonia! It was terrible. Took me 3 weeks to get anywhere close to feeling normal. It was very hard to work when I did start back and I was weak for days. Hang in there! I wish you good health soon!
Reagan, bless his heart.

Bless your heart, hon. Been there with 2 babies.
I put gel-filled teething toys in the fridge to make them cold; did the Tylenol thing; did the Orajel thing as well.
Honestly, there's not much else you can do. Sometimes if they were a little fussy, I would recline them in my arm and dip my finger in a very cold glass of iced water to cool it and then gently massage their little gums with my cold finger. They would let me. I think the cold numbed and the massage just soothed.
This is one of those stages that it is hard to get through for both baby and parents! I feel for you. I've been up many nights and suffered long days hurting for my little ones.
If it helps, they won't remember the pain. Only you will! lol
How very sweet, bless your heart!!!!
So few understand or appreciate the things you mentioned. Radiology has its own set of skills which i would find challenging, as long as it has been since i did any. So you are not a 'mere' anything -- you are a MT the same as acute care, only a 1-specialty person. Thanks again for the thoughts!!
Bless your heart! It is tiring to sit all the time. SM
I try to always remember that there are so many people who don't have a job or a decent home. I try to count my blessings but some days, I just lose the motivation. I hope you can find some relief from your health problems. Best of luck to you.
Bless your heart. Back several years ago
I worked FT for a large hospital doing MT and ran an MT business full-time but I had 2 partners in my business. I slept every other night. Hahaha I was younger at that time. Made INCREDIBLE money. Still can't believe today what I made then. It was a killer though. And with running my own business, I was not doing actual transcription the whole time, there was a lot of normal business activity/transactions/planning to do. That is why I think I held up to it as long as I did.
Well, I'm very impressed. Congratulations. I couldn't do that today (two FT transcription positions) if I tried!
Bless your heart. Mine was 50, so I had him longer. SM
Lots of empathy here for you.
Bless your heart little Crispy Critter!
Bless your heart. The trouble is that companies can't "train" you. SM
...or not most companies, anyway. They need their work done and they need it done quickly and correctly, and that's just the bottom line. I worked in-house for years at a hospital and I did train people, but we were doing our own reports and had a large enough staff so that we could take inexperienced people. I do that on my own, too, but can't do it too much.
You'll get it, if they'd just give you time!
Bless your heart. I agree with Dano whole-heartedly.
Maria Shriver Kennedy Schwarz (I'm not spelling that out...hahaha) said that her mother taught her: You CAN have it all, just not all at the same time.
Great advice. You usually have to go through stages or phases of your life to fulfill all the wants and dreams...from careers, to parenting and child-rearing, homemaking, etc.
Bless your heart for taking the time to answer.
I was thinking macros were something else. I make heavy use of templates/normals, but I didn't realize those were called macros :0)
Shorthand is so fantastic for that. I love the suggestion window, too. I don't think I could type without it now.
Do you use the TCL script program? I need to study up on that.
Bless your heart and your sons. Some people just don't know when to NOT mess with things
Sorry you have a goof for an ex, and I hope your son's footie will be ok. Chillie
bless your heart for thinking $10-12/hour is good money - nm

Can you use a plus sign for hyper and minus sign for hypo?

That is true, when you sign up you sign up from the
day your former insurance terminated. Then it is on a month to month basis.
Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!! You know exactly what you said. You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed! You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT. Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you. Why have kids at all? Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked! Give me a break! Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT. Your own words showed your heart. Period.
Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.
I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.
So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.
Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.
I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary. How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu
call her by her first name. The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away.
I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated. Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie. :-)
But, as someone pointed out, to each his own. If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that. I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks." 
Please do not simply give up, kids or no kids!
Talk with a professional. This can be worked through if he really puts forth the effort and you participate. The right counseling can truly make your marriage even better than it was before, if BOTH parties are willing to be honest. Give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain!
Bless you.
Bless you. I am so glad to hear that there are still good people in the world.
Yes! Bless you!
Bless you!
I feel so much better after hearing your trials. Hope all is well now.
God bless all of you.
My finger will heal in time. I feel so small for whining when you are all faced with such bigger challenges. God bless you.
God bless you
My prayers are with you and your daughter. I have a 5-year-old, and I would be a basket case if I had to endure what you are going through.
Bless you!!
No kidding. This has driven me crazy, but I just re-listened to the wav file and you are absolutely on target!!
So.....bless you and all your children, too! (Doing a happy dance)
Just wait til the QA hears this. She really is a sweetheart, have never had one problem with her, and she and I were working on this one together. But, thanks to you......heheh......I'm one up! :)
Bless you!

Finally, somebody that agrees with me:)
God bless you!
You are a saint for trying to rescue your mother like that. From your post, it sounds like you have been "rescuing" her all your life. If she is so fragile and you are the only child, you really do have a lot on your shoulders. I had a similar situation with my stepfather when I was younger, but I didn't handle it well either. He and my mother eventually divorced (through no fault of mine). I admire you for being so loyal to your mother. I agree with the way you are handling things in your situation, nobody knows what anyone else's life is like. Just know that you have friends and support on here when you need it. You are a very strong person and I just know that this will turn out right for you. Just thank God that you are 'there' for your mother. You will never regret that.
Bless you all so much!!
I have 2 big tupperware egg plates, so I can get them done and overwith tonight because I think I'm going to have to do all the rest of the food now....geez...it will be all worth it though, it's twins!
Again, thank you all so much!
THANKS! Bless you.

Bless you!
It is sure nice to know that I am not alone!

I will be starting to use Shorthand. I have seen conflicting answers as to yes you can convert to ShortHand and no you can't. I am not real puter savy. I saw directions, but I would rather start from scratch than attempt what they say to do. This will help very much.
Have a great evening.
Bless you! - nm

Bless you!
Thanks so much

I think eventually we'll all have some crisis like this to deal with. Our business is fairly unstable right now. You are not the only Transcriptionist I know of with work issues right now, either so low they are not working or are facing layoff or worse. I am so sorry! I wish you the very best in the job search.
God bless you
I took care of my mom briefly full time before she died last year and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. At the same time it was a blessing because we got very close - closer than we had been and we had been very close already.
You're not alone in your struggles. You'll make it through and your mom will have an easier transition because of your help.
Bless you!
Time to start dusting off your old resume, it sounds like! I wonder if that's their plan - make all the old-timers quit and then hire in new cheap labor? Maybe they're about to get bought by the Q? Sounds like straight out of the Q-book...
