AAMT convention
I cannot afford Hawaii but went to Atlanta last year and enjoyed very much getting to know others in the field of MT. It was well worth it, but Hawaii is a bit much for my pockets this year. Hope those who cah afford it enjoy their time there.
I went to an AAMT convention
and the guest speaker was Tessier. She said Black female is always capitalized, but not white. I don't understand, but is what she said. By the way, I never capitalize black, just the same as white, more BOS nonsense. I have never been dinged for it.
I really liked your post, but the AAMT convention?

Anyone going to the AAMT Annual Convention in Honolulu?
Whooly Cow! Just visited the website and registration cost is anywhere from $295, member (early regis) to $600 nonmember (late regis)! Plus of course, flight, hotel, transportation. GEEZ!
Meanwhile, the AAMT officers et al are sunning on Waikiki as we speak..on the corporate charge card.

starting business/ go to convention
Need some advice, please. I am starting a small company and I want to market myself to be able to take overflow work from larger companies (or hospitals/clinics/medical centers) to give and send out to my group of MTs and QAs. I do not want the hassle of trying to approach the large hospitals, clinics, medical centers, themselves and I do not have the capital to purchase my own dictation system or program.
I was thinking of going to the MT conventions and networking there but was not sure who/what companies attend these conventions. Does anyone have any ideas or can anyone point me in the right direction? I would appreciate any advice anyone could give to me. TIA

You crack me up.
You guys crack me up
Come on now, cottage cheese is not very inventive, but it is a good suggestion. The bell pepper thing sounded great too, but feeding too many kids for that to go over well I think. Maybe a Ceasar sald and bread with it is all I really need. Don't cook for people very often.
Thanks. I think I'll take a crack at it. I need a new

For CURIOUS: You are not curious, you are paranoid and a sociopath
Are you referring to the sentence
'And HOW to you put a marker?'
where I typed a 't' instead of a 'd'?
It was just a TYPO!
I am an American MT!
It is so pitiful how PARANOID SOME American MTs have become, ESPECIALLY THE OLD ONES, fearing for their jobs and being afraid of getting the boot.
Trying to be 'expert linguists,' sniffing out various dialects, detecting some Indian hints, whereas they most probably live in rural areas or in cities with a population of 1,000 inhabitants.
So sad, so sad, what has become of the MTing profession?
Now, CURIOUS, start nitpicking my post.
no you crack me up. if you are on mq payroll, you should really take a cut. not to clever to not
be able to disguise alias when trying to devise a multiple personality back-up to your multiple posts backing MQ. LOL. Nice try! 
you guys crack me up. Can you give me
advice on a chair? Need extra cushy seat.
It says nothing... It only says that some people seek out crack pot

of course they speak english, with an accent but they speak British-English quite well.
And I can't speak Indian so I guess they have an edge don't they?
Can someone PLEASE call the white coats with the net for this crack pot?

KD, are you on crack - very few people make $50,000/year - sm
I make about $58,000, but I work my butt off doing it, have 18 years experience. You sound like a Sally Struthers ad when you make a comment like that! Next thing you know, you will be telling this woman that she can breastfeed her child while she is transcribing and have another one sitting on her lap!!
I do love this job, but I tell people to expect to make at least $25,000-$30,000/year.
This sounds like same I hear when person getting off crack
they are a survivor, being applauded, revered. What about you not do it in the first place? This person is saying lost everything due to not wanting to work, went down the drain, housing, vehicles, everything. I am so over the hill and thank goodness, always had enough gumption just to work and make it. What about some applause for people who never do drugs, who raise children without snorting or kicking a drug habit and who are upstanding all the way around? Oh well, guess that is too much to ask, just want to say what a survivor out of someone who really just had no get up and go. Unreal....
Ghost crack maybe? Is he talking about a healed fracture?

I didn't care 4 that crack, young lady!
Hayseed, you crack me up! I LOVE your posts & your humor!
:)
Tell him to smoke outside.
That way, he still gets his way, but you don't have to smell it in your house.
I used to smoke but..
I used Zyban. I will be smoke free for 8 years in April. But it is scary how for some those medications end up causing such horrible effects.
blowin smoke
Yep, AL the way to the bank.
Depends what you smoke.

Smoke at your computer? I believe it. I still do.

What I did about the C-phone and smoke. sm
I have to go out of town next week so I got a few small trash bags and put in a Yankee Candle Car Jar, and wrapped it back up tight, as well as with the instruction manual. I'll leave it in there for a week and hopefully that will take it away. I did use rubbing alcohol on the C-phone too and oh gosh, you wouldn't believe how much yellow junk came off from the smoke, especially from the parts that are covered with clear plastic. It smelled up my entire room for a while and I'm still getting whiffs of it every now and then. Thank you everybody for your help and suggestions. I spent $187 on this and I did expect better, or at least a blurb in the auction that it came from a smoker's home.
Someone's blowing smoke up your computer with
unsubstantiated statements.
smoke free for 2 1/2 months
Yes I quit 10 weeks ago. I used the patch for 5 weeks, chewed a lot of gum, chewed on straws, even pretended to smoke a straw sometimes, hey it helped!! As motivational tricks, I printed out pictures of smoke damaged lungs and put them on my wall! I also printed out all the benefits of quitting and hung them in every room. I had smoked a pack a day for 14 years. My significant other still smokes, so if I can quit, you probably can too! I don't even want one now. Oh yeh-drink water! Hope this helps somebody. :)
How many of you smoke while working? See message.
Please don't post about the evils of smoking, etc., just looking for a yes or no.
She didn't smoke cigarettes
She actually smoked cigars!
Looking for a cigarette smoke detector (sm)
My mother lives with us and has gotten into the habit of sneak smoking in the back bathroom. She thinks we can't smell it. Have a granddaughter with asthma and I am very particular about smoke in the house.
I thought if I had a detector that would buzz when she lit up that would encourage her to go outside like my husband does.
I have tried talking to her about smoke smells in there when I have washed down the wallpaper and cleaned rugs/shower curtains down. The smell clings to that wallpaper like glue. She simply denies that anyone smokes in there. She keeps multiple candles in there and thinks she is "covering up the smell".
Any suggestions on a device that might be useful is appreciated.
C-phone & cigarette smoke
I just bought a C-phone off of eBay. I unpack it and it smells like smoke, something bad. I'm a non-smoker. How do I get this smell out? If I had known it was owned by a smoker, I wouldn't have purchased it. The auction didn't say one way or another, so I figured I was safe.
Yuck. Please help! Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. Febreeze isn't working so far and I'm sitting here smelling this. Gross.
Talk about blowing smoke, ha.
Even the ones on here who are reading these listings, not all want to join in the revolution. I for one love my job, don’t intend on putting my neck on the chopping block for others just because someone is not as happy or content as me. Ridiculous to even think so.
Really? Can you explain why or are you just blowing smoke out your butt again?

Yes - smoke 1-1/2 packs per day. Tried and tried to quit to no avail.
I enjoy my nicotine - sad to say.
where there is smoke there is fire and these lawsuits are pretty much backed up by SEC.
Fraudulent billing, books that are cooked, are not claims that are made frivilously and are not accepted into a court of law without some merit. Watch and see. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it may be a duck. Apply that to everyone who deals with MQ involved in a lawsuit against them, MTs, Shareholders and Clients. Plus the delisting by SEC. Mighty suspicious huh? Not just one person or entity but three different ones - PLUS SEC.
Silver Lining: I ran out of money and I'm smoke free
six days with no smokes...also, lost about ten pounds on an involuntary diet. It's amazing what you can cut out when you're broke...
Aw, you don't have to be a "pothead" to smoke pot at one concert. I hadn't smoked for 30
and haven't since, but they passed joints around at that concert and I toked, and it was fun. My brain is far from lame. :)
Just a reminder to change your smoke alarm batteries nm
It definately helped me. From the first dose I took I had no urge at all to smoke.
Unfortunately though I had a bad reaction to the medication and had to stop it after only a few days. I should say though that the reaction I had to the Wellbutrin had absolutely nothing to do with a side effect, but rather it exacerbated a prior medical problem I had. It's definately worth a try IMO.
Make her smoke outside, especially with an asthmatic in the house. Never allowed smokers in our

Talk about blowing smoke! No one, not one MQ MT has "joined" the class action suit.
Its not even up to that point yet. We will be notified and given the legal options via the legal system. So, if you claim you "joined it", you joined nothing - just gave your name to the laywers. Nothing more, so get over yourself. If there is nothing more to pursue after discovery, you won't be joining anything!
That daggon Zatarains put Oak Grove Smoke house out of business, the rats!
I can only find 1 place for Oak Grove Smoke House on the 'net now, and their mixes are WAY better and more original (just editorial opinion, there). All the other 'net entries are some lawsuit Zatarains brought. Blrch.
I type for cardio docs. EVERY patient has been a smoker or continues to smoke. Hope you'll quit

Oh, someone benefits from AAMT - AAMT DOES!

Hey, speak for yourself (sm)
My accounts are 95% ESL. I love them. I can do them. It's job security, thanks to the MTs who can't or won't do them. As long as I can hear them and the technical quality is there, I welcome the ESL challenge!
SPEAK CLEARLY!
I'm lost as to why doctors can not just speak more clearly. I know it is possible, I have many doctors who do it. I am only 25, and I am going to be gray by the time I am 30.
PLS DO SPEAK CLEARLY
My god. i know that its hard to have so many patients, its also hard to transcribe if you cant speak clearly, for the doctors that can talk more fluent thank you very much.
I would not speak
