Fair is fair -- relative or not, 1 house or 100.
She's earning income and the only fair, right, just, ethical and LEGAL behavior is to report it wholly.
relative
I was just trying to be a little understanding if I had a relative that was out of work or a teenager that was doing it, it might be understandable but someone that does is weekly like I said it is only fair to be reported. We all hate it when someone takes our jobs for "less pay" and that is what some of these people are doing it when they do it this way. They take the jobs from the law abiding, tax paying people who want to make a decent living and pay their taxes. It cannot be okay in one situation and not in another. We all want a "good deal" but when it happes to us we are the first to cry about it.
OK, I need help with THIS relative...
My nephew David (10 years younger) is Born Again and spends every Christmas going from relative to relative (as well as my Big Sister's friends) telling them how to avoid eternal damnation (he REALLY goes to town about all the drinking). He told me last year that I was risking it by not being married at 47 and should marry ANYONE right away to avoid "The Fire" as he puts it. His Christmas card to me this year said I needed to "repent or die" - whatever happened to "Happy Holidays"?  My sisters and I spend most of the day trying desperately to avoid him but he still manages to plant himself next to us and detail where we are failing "Him" in our lives and how we can "get right with God", etc. Honestly, between my Big Sister's drunken friends and "David" its like walking thru a minefield! How should I graciously deal with this guy?
PS: I'm beginning 2 think my family is dysfunctional.
has anyone had to cut out a toxic relative or best
Mine is my mother. She is an extremely angry woman, and I honestly think, her seeing me happy, makes her dislike me even more. When I go to visit, which is not often anymore, she sarcastically says "yay look whos here" and does not have anything nice to say to me. She is usually drunk or on drugs so she falls asleep when I try to talk to her, and she criticizes my every decision and points out the things about myself that I hate. One thing, is that i'm not good with people, and she has to remind me of this on a daily basis, like when I tell her i'm going to start school or take classes she will say "but youre not good with people, I bet youre nervous" or snide remarks to that effect. She criticizes how I look, how I do my hair, what I wear, just about everything. When I leave there, for the next couple of days, I feel very angry, my self esteem feels as low as it did when I was a kid, and i'm just sick. I know she is my "mother" but its affecting me so much that I think I would have a better life if I distanced myself and not let her be so involved where it would affect me. Wondering if anyone had to make this painful decision with someone close to them. I'm changing and she is stuck in this bitter hate the world phase, where she has always been.
A relative of mine used to be.....
an innkeeper for Holiday Inn, so he was the boss, but the stories he told about some of the stuff they would find in hotel rooms. SICK! I generally don't consider myself or anybody else too good for an honest day's work, but I think cleaning hotel rooms would be just too gross. But that's me.
relative newbie, but no complaints here
I started out brand spanking new in October 2007 working at home. I hadn't even finished my on line program yet, but I needed to pay the mortgage. I got very lucky to find a company fairly quickly that would hire newbies. Pay sucked, but I knew that going in. I didn't know how bad it sucked at the time - I was just ecstatic to have a job.
I knew then and I know now that I'm never going to get rich in this profession. I knew at the very beginning that I was not going to make a lot of money right away. I didn't. I was lucky if I averaged $5 an hour. I also knew that I had to stick with it and get my experience in with a company that was willing to work with me and then I could move on to another, better paying job when I was a little more comfortable. I did a lot of research about this going in and if there was a company or an on line school that promised a lot of money right off the bat, I skipped right by that one. I'm sensible enough to know that's a load of horse hockey.
I love what I do. For the most part I enjoy the posters on this forum. Even the Negative Nancys. That just makes me work that much harder to do well so I can prove to myself that it can be done and I haven't made a mistake in learning how to do this.
As to starting a separate positive only forum/board. It can be done. It's fairly easy, as a matter of fact - and free. It would be separate from MT Stars, which means this thread and/or message is probably going to get poofed.
I'm happy to set it up, though, if y'all are serious. Feel free to e mail me.
I am a relative newbie of 9 years but - sm
I am good at what I do, have worked just about every specialty, can hit the ground running with whatever is thrown my way, very strong office background, take pride in my work. Currently training another MT supposedly with more experience than I and so far I am less than dazzled by her abilities. She is making some really dumb mistakes, i.e. types in the word period sometimes in sentences, new paragraph, stuff like that, cannot research worth a hoot, or just won't take the time (too lazy maybe?), and cannot fill out the template correctly that I use for this particulare account. Totally waste of my time as my training pay is a joke too. If things don't improve soon though she will be off that particular account which will be her loss at it is very easy and steady work too boot.
Was visiting a relative in the hospital...
back in the day when hospitals had job postings on big bulletin boards anyone could read. I was 19 and had no idea what a medical Transcriptionist was or did but by the description figured I might have a chance, so put in for that job and two others. (I was going to college part time at that point, had attended a business/trade co-op type high school (you went to school year round junior-senior years, working 2 weeks, schooling 2 weeks, and they had placed me at GM in labor relations as a secretary from age 16-18 - now THAT's where I should have stayed, in the offices at Delco/GM), but then again, that's all gone now, so who knows how that would have panned out).
Anyway, I got hired for a full-time second shift lab secretary/clerk position at the hospital instead of the transcriptionist job, learned a lot of useful info in the lab, also took transcription courses at the local community college part time. So the next time a medical transcriptionist job came up on that bulletin board, I got the job and stayed at the hospital a total of 18 years.
Hospital's gone, high school's gone, and like I said, Delco's gone, nothing but big grassy fields here in Ohio now. Nothing lasts, does it? But I count all those as good days and feel fortunate I got to experience all that.
Yep, had a distant relative going through some depressed times and did just that

A relative, employee at home, told me she

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?
E-mail says I have been left 1/4 million bucks by distant relative. Do you think this is a scam?
I could really use the money.
The girl was 13, the rapist a distant relative they took in. Give money, give food and your time, b
you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
you need a router
Get you a Linksys router. We have cable and have 5 computers on 1 router, all going at the same time. You plug the router into the modem and then you other line from the router to the computer.
Router
I don't know why they told you you can't use a router. I would and I do! You can get a switch that will switch the keyboard, mouse, and monitor for about 20.00
You definitely can use a router if the router itself has ... SM
places for more than one computer to plug into. I have a LinkSys series, and mine has places for up to 4 computers. I just had to buy an extra ethernet cable (I got a colored one to connect to my 2nd computer) and connected this from the router to the 2nd computer. No problem whatsoever.
router
Yes you need a router. How this works is the internet connects to the router and then it acts like an extension cord and you can hook in multiple computers. I would recommend Lynksys. We have 5 on one router.
Then you need the KVM switch. You can buy one online for about 20.00 that also lets you switch the keyboard and mouse at the same time.
Not sure if it's from your router...sm
I am by no means intelligent when it comes to this stuff, but I have a linksys router and have used both a VPN and Citrix to work with no problem. If you are able to connect to the internet, the cause may not be your router. I know that doesn't really help you though. I'm sorry! Maybe contact Citrix? and tech support for the VPN? They may know if it could be caused by your router.
I think is the router because...
I am having to take it out of the equation when I am working. Then I have no problem connecting. I may have to call Linksys again, I just thought there might be someone with a similar setup who could shed some light
router help
I need to get a new router. My 2-year-old Linksys router crashes at least twice a day. Customer service is no good, since they want $30 to open a service call (it's past the warranty period). What type of router should I get? Should I get a wireless or wired? What brand name do you like? Thanks - you guys are the best and I trust your opinions!
router
I was told by my provider that my main email could only be on one computer. Call your provider.
You would need a router.
Need a KVM plus router
K(eyboard)V(ideo)M(ouse) switch lets you share those three devices across 2 (or more) PCs, using a hotkey or a button on the KVM to toggle which one is active. Best Buy* has them for $35 or so.
You need a router to share the DSL connection. There are options for hardwired only or hardwired with wireless -- so if you want to have your primary work machines connected with an ethernet cable, but also have the ability to have your (your kids, your guests, etc.) laptops connect to the internet using wireless.
Again, Best Buy has routers -- price depends on options per above, also have tech support to help you configure for your DSL provider.
*Not endorsing Best Buy specifically; any local computer store or national electronics chain should be able to provide. You could probably shout out "Anybody here a hardcore gamer?" in a local mall and get help configuring the router from the first teenager who replies....
Best Router?
I need to get a new router (not wireless). Does anyone know of a good one? I don't want to spend any more than I need to but would rather spend a bit more if it makes a big difference in the quality.
Thanks! 
It could be a router if you have one. Mine went bad. sm
I also have Comcast. I use a broadband router also. If you do also, you might have to unplug a few times and if it still goes on and off, you need a new one.
I got a new one and it has been fine ever since.
wireless.. do you have a router
I have wireless in my house too, but I work off of the main computer where the router or hub is connected to the cable. I have tried working on the other computers in the house connected to wireless and it is tramendously slower, obviously because takes time for the signal. I would try to connect your work computer directly to the router. DQS downloads superfast normally. I have found a delay in sound and keyboard with wireless.
phones through router
I have Vonage (see above) and I have a C-phone connected to my phone line on the Vonage router box, but I still have regular phone lines connecting my home phone, so basically 2 different phone numbers, 2 different services.
it would still have to recognize your router
somehow. It cannot be a "mind reader" so to speak. I still think it would need to have access to your router to work. sorry. just my opinion.
Wireless router
When you use a laptop or desktop computer for that matter, and a "wireless" router is involved, you still have to hook up an ethernet cable from your computer to the router in order to be able to get a signal.
On a laptop computer, there is a slot for a wireless PC card, which you can get through Sprint and Verizon and possiby other cellular carriers. The card works in much the same way and has the same type of signal as a cell phone does and since I am out in the country for the time being, that is what I use.
Hope this helps.
wireless router
Not sure about that I do have a laptop, and have DSL with wireless router. Works good.
need advice on router
Does anyone use 2 different computers for two different jobs and have a router to connect both to cable internet? What do I need to get and is it easy to hook up? Brands? Computers are right next to each other if that matters. Thanks for any and all help.
Router problem - sm
I had a similar problem when my two PCs were connected to the Internet by a router. The problem was the VPN - it required that I have a single separate connection, not a shared one. I had to get and pay for a separate IP address for that work PC.
Might need a more powerful router, but I don't know
another computer on a family network is downloading movies, games, and music, they will cause the router to knock the connection out, too. This happened to us all the time here, so kiddos are not allowed to download except when I'm not working. But at some point, I was told that we need a more powerful router to handle all the puter action here. NM
router problem, what I did.sm
We have a Netgear wireless router. I hook my computer directly to the router but we have two computers upstairs on the wireless plus my husband has a laptop. It worked fine for a while but then kept losing the signal. We tried lots of fixes. Finally I went to Best Buy and purchased these plug in signal boosters, It plugs into an outlet on the wall and then into the computer. You plug one in by the router, and into the router, the other one goes upstairs plugged into an outlet and into my son's computer and my other son is still on the wireless but has not had a problem since the booster is making the signal stronger. It works great and there is no more of the maybe it will work, maybe it won't that seems to happen with wireless. I love it. Came two in a box for like 80.00.
wireless vs router
Any suggestions for anyone out there that uses more than one computer that is either wireless vs plug into a router. I have three computers in my house that run off a plug into a router. I am going to be starting for a local hospital from home and will need the internet and I have to use their computer. I have so many wires going everywhere that I thought it might be easier to go wireless with all the computers or maybe just put the hospital computer on a plug in and the other three wireless. I also have to have another computer that I do my two other Docs on the side, but cannot use the hospital computer to do this work, so I have to have that computer in the same room. Any suggestions on the easiest plan for all four computers. Two of the computers are in different rooms and then I need the hospital computer and my other work computer in one room. There are also only two outlets in this room, which makes it a little tricky when you have to plug all this stuff in. I cannot use the hospital computer for any of my side work.
Thanks for any comments.
wireless vs router
I use a KVM switch for two of my computers, so 2 CPUs run off the same keyboard, monitor and mouse. Two KVMs on 2 computers each would help a lot. I also have another computer upstairs that I have connected to a wireless printer and my home PC is the server for the printer, and my linksys router is hooked to my DSL connection. Hope this helps.
I need to get a router - any suggestions?
I can't have my work computer wireless, but I also have a laptop that I would like to have wireless. Don't know what to do. If I get a wireless router is it possible to "plug in" my work computer directly and then have my laptop be wireless? Also don't know which brand to buy, Linksys, Netgear, etc. Any help or opinions would be appreciated. 
router setup
i set up a router on my main computer to my son's computer. i then set up the e-mail account on his to match the ones on mine. now, my son's computer is getting all the e-mails and mine gets none. How can i set it up so both computers get all the e-mails.
thanks
I use Sprint & have it through a router sm
My Sprint USB card is in my husband's PC, connected to a Linksys router and then to mine with Ethernet cables. You just have to run the internet connection sharing wizard on XP. I've been using this for almost 2 weeks now and absolutely love it. Also, Verizon has a cap on how much bandwidth you can use each month (5 GB) and you have to pay for overages. Sprint has unlimited usage for the same amount per month ($60). If you have any questions about it, I can give you the website where I purchased my equipment. My e-mail is pixie.chick@earthlink.net.
Absolutely....do it yourself. I have two on the router
nm
i have kvm and router if anyone is interested.
you can e/m me. I'm wireless now and don't need them.
Regarding the router if your laptop is
WiFi compatible all you do is connect to the existing network.
There are lots of ways to connect with traveling. As far as I know there are two air cards, Verizon and Sprint. Neither card will always give you coverage. Just like with a cell phone they each have their own coverage areas. If you travel in the larger cities you should be good, but if you get in the mountains or in the out of the way places you might have limited to no service.
With an air card there is a one time charge, sometimes $200+ and then there is a monthly fee of about $60/mo. They frequently offer deals with a free or discounted air card, but you have to sign up for a service plan, much like a 2-year committment on a cell phone plan.
I've traveled extensively over the past 7 years and I always have a plan B as far as internet goes. If you are able to download work and then work off-line then you might could do with finding a Starbucks, but if you have to work on-line and need broadband then you may be limited in your travels. If you are staying in hotels you shouldn't have an issue, as most chains now have WiFi service. If you are camping then things can get tricky. Most campgrounds will have some type of service, but it may only be dial-up or WiFi restricted to a certain area, so it takes some planning.
Sorry I meant router

Router question - sm
I'm running Windows 98 on the computer I work on. I just purchased a Dell laptop with Windows Vista but will mostly be using the desktop for my work. I also purchased a D-Link wireless router, but it doesn't say it supports Windows 98. Does anyone know if I'll still be able to run this or will I have to upgrade 98 to something else?
I use my DSL modem for my router. sm
I would think it would depend on whether you have cable or DSL. I have TDS Metrocom for my phone and Internet. When I went home to work I called to find out what I needed to look for in a router. He told me my DSL is a router and all I needed was an ethernet cord. I went to Radio Shack and bought a 25 foot ethernet cord to run from the router to my new work computer. I ran the cord from the back of my DSL modem to the ethernet port on the work computer and haven't had a problem yet.
You can also hardwire your N or G router sm
I have a Lynksys Wireless-N router hardwired because no matter what I did, the wireless receiver would not catch the signal from the router. The N version is supposed to be faster but beware, the wireless N receiver may or may not work with your computers. The wireless receiver was a waste of money and time for me and a major source of frustration for months.
i have a d-link wireless router with my
broadband service. i have 3 computers at my house and 2 at my next door neighbors house all networked. it's very very simple to do. whatever you do, make sure to password protect your network!
I have a secure wireless router and
broadband service. I use wav files so I'm not connected to a phone line. being wireless, you're going to still be restricted to the signal strength anywhere you go kind of like using a cell phone but if you have a broadband connection on that mountain top with a wireless router connected to it, then your signal is coming from the router and not a tower that will have interference from trees, mountains etc.
My C-phone is plugged into my router.
You have to have a VoIP router in order for that to work. You can get one at WM or any office supply store. Good luck.
Wireless router setup sm
Does anyone have any experience with setting up a Linksys wireless broadband router? I have a cable hookup coming tomorrow and have had to buy a wireless router and another wireless setup for a second computer. I heard the cable company will install only one modem on one computer and I must make my home wireless for other computers. The "Geek Squad" at Best Buy in my area warned me that it would be wiser to pay them to come out than try to do it myself. E-mail me if you have experience doing this. The box looks self-explanatory but I'm a little hesitant. Thanks for any help.
None at all. Try resetting your router and see if that works! nm
