I use Brawny paper towels and Lysol Kitchen spray on counters and appliances. I use plastic scrubbies on the sink and anything I need to scrub up before the dishwasher and the put the scrubbie in the dishwasher as well. I spray Lysol on the sink and faucets before I go to bed.
I started this when I saw Oprah's show on women who horde and won't clean/throw away anything. The experts she had on the show had checked one woman's kitchen sink for bacteria and compared it to her commode and the commode was cleaner! I about fell over. I have dishcloths and dishtowels but they are washed after every single use! Ewwwwww!

Has anyone seen the commercial
where the snowman is eating soup at the table, and the snow melts off him, and it is a little boy? Love that commercial.
It it was a commercial
flight then possibly. It's also possible though that it was a private plane. My oncology practice has 4 clinics in outlying areas of the state and the husband of the CEO flies the docs around in his plane.
No, that is disgusting!
Nasty!
That is truly disgusting. nm

Yes, it is disgusting. SM
I go to several MT jobs boards and they are all alike. I have been in this business for a long time and can do most specialties including hospital reports to include operative reports. I see the ads where they want "client ready" transcription and have to chuckle when they offer 7 to 9 cpl. I have gotten to the point where I will not even apply for those positions. Do I have hospital experience? You bet I do. So why are overseas transcriptionists taking my money when the MTs in the States can do the job better and just as fast. I stopped applying to those companies with their insulting line rates. Then they try to screw you over some more by not paying for spaces. If US MTs refuse to work for these companies and they are not allowed to send the work overseas, who is going to suffer? A lot of hospitals and states are now making it known that the work is not to be sent overseas and it is in their contracts. Are things looking up? I truly hope so, but I doubt it.

lamisil commercial
I'm with you "sm", that Lamisil commercial with the toenail lifting gives me the heebie-jeebies!! It reminds me of when you have a long fingernail and you bang it against something and it bends backwards -- you know, that really freaky feeling....that's what the Lamisil commercial does to me, ouch!
have you seen the nextel commercial?
My son laughs uncontrollably every time this commercial comes on. So funny!

I saw a commercial last night for Tax Cut
if I am remembering correctly. If it is made by H&R block, then that is the one. It said that if you ever get audited that their representatives with help you through the process if you used that system. Seems like a good benefit to have. Maybe there is some small print to that, but worth checking into. My accountant guarantees to represent you if you get audited too.
Got commercial account
I have Comcast (simply because they're the only provider I can get here) and I had to go to a commercial account because my service kept getting interrupted and it would take them 2-3 days to do anything about it. A commercial account is costing me $100 a month but they have to deal with any problems I have within 24 hours, so its well worth it considering the money I lost waiting for techs to come out when I was residential. They never said anything about usage on either account though; their philosophy seems to be that anything residential is frivolous (being used for entertainment purposes) and can wait. So my advice is to go commercial - its the only way you'll get any respect at Comcast!
I had to get a commercial account
Its more expensive, but they have to guarantee 24 hour problem solution (or at least that a tech will put me at the head of the visit list). I haven't had any grief with them now for about 6 months, and I finally have a second option now (AT&T), so at least now I can dump them if things get bad with them again.
OMG. That's disgusting. Especially after just lowering our pay.
You are disgusting yourself to post
about another human being!! You ought to be ashamed.
and sin is sin. it's abominable, disgusting, and
you'll never be saved and do that.
I never thought he was hot. He's disgusting. sm
And his personal antics with many women (other than his wives, that is other women when he is still married) make him someone I would never admire in any way. As someone said below, GROSS. Ugh! Like a spindly leg strutting spider with 20 pounds of collagen in their lips. Yes, I know they are real. But Ugh still stands!
disgusting husband
Is she a friend of yours or just an acquaintance? Perhaps you could talk to her. She can't possibly be happy. Maybe all she needs is some support to get out on her own and away from him. 
I would report that. It is disgusting.

Wow - how disgusting is right. Sure shows you
It's right up there on the Sickening Scale with that video someone posted a while back of "trainers" teaching companies how to bypass American workers' job applications, so they can then justify their outsourcing by saying there "aren't enough American workers".
There sure aren't - not when you kick all their applications under the rug or into the round file!
We need to lobby for laws in this country that will put a heavy tax on companies who outsource American livelihoods to other countries. We might as well put "For Sale" signs on our beaches, farmland, and national parks, because that's what'll be coming next.
Help. Can anyone tell me what the song is on the commercial on tv where the guy is driving across
the US to San Francisco for a cell phone commercial and he pulls up in front of his girlfriends house in SF and calls her on the cell phone and she comes to the door and there he sits in his car. It is the cell phone commercial for the cell phone with the bars on it. This is driving me nuts. I cannot remember the name of that oldie song.
That commercial makes me want to puke.

And convenient. Just like the commercial says ' Some families

Here are the best 2 non-commercial links for bariatric

Lots of information out there. Good luck on your research.
Yes, I would suggest using a commercial expander sm
Like ShortHand or Instant Text. They will increase your productivity tremendously.
As for the buckling down and just getting to work, well, as soon as you realize the secret to that, be sure and share it with the rest of us! If I knew the answer to that, I would not be sitting here on MTStars at 10:03 replying to your message, I would be cranking out the lines!! :)
I saw this great commercial last night in which
there were children playing and then all of a sudden one little girl started ranting on the others, saying something about awful pimples the other child has, etc... and then at the end of the commercial it said never say anything in an e mail you wouldn't say in person....It is a hard lesson but it is true. Another way my 8 year old put it: Ask yourself, is what you said something that should have stayed in your head? I ask myself this every day whether speaking or e mailing or posting, and it really helps.
That Pepto-Bismol Commercial song!
I now know who actually sings on that Pepto-Bismol commercial - "Upset stomach, diarrhea, -- YEAAAAAAA" It's the doctors I transcribe for!
kind of sick and disgusting...
Yes, he was out of breath - could hardly get words out - it was disgusting
nm
the game sounds pretty disgusting...
They type like they talk - and fly under the radar - disgusting!
No one at the top cares as long as they get their third party payment.
Disgusting is an understatement but nobody can/will stop it. Nobody cares but us is right.
How can they have "English typing skills" but not need to know how to speak English? How can they understand it if they can't speak it? Mind boggling. And how do they get away with it? Because it's cheap and JACHO doesn't care nor does the organization formerly known as AAMT (new title without "American" and "Transcriptionist").
Yeah, could you imagine if we made a work at home commercial
that was truthful? Instead of the serenely peaceful scene with the children playing quietly at your feet while you made $50,000 a year, there would be toys flying everywhere, kids jumping on the furniture, the dog yacking on the carpet, neighbors banging on the door, the phone ringing off the hook, laundy piled up to the ceiling, and a husband whining about something or another.
too true. Spring break is somekind of commercial myth anyway,
Motel housekeeper when I was 16. That was a physically demanding and disgusting
job. The supervisor was always riding us to clean faster, but we made less money if we got the job done in fewer hours. Why on earth would we work faster to clean a room in 20 minutes or less just so they could pay us less?
Anyway, it was a nasty job. The things people do in motel rooms were often immoral and illegal. I had teenaged boys on a soccer team throwing condoms at me. People used to rent rooms to party, get drunk, do drugs, and other things. They left behind pornography and other things an innocent 16 y.o. had never even seen before.
Then this adult male "guest" was wandering down the hallway in just a pair of shorts. We were supposed to help the "guests" so I asked if he had misplaced his room key. He pulled his shorts off and came after me. I grabbed a bottle of acid to spray him in the eyes and called security, but the cops never found him. He had overturned the bed in his room and set up a pup tent in there. What a weirdo. I quit that same week because the housekeeper supervisor was a shrew. She's still there 20 years later. Never had any motivation to do anything else, I guess. That job taught me how to clean thoroughly and quickly, but also taught me that I would never be anyone's grunt.
I had a really disgusting burp from a doctor. Didn't even say excuse me.
Have you ever had someone dictating with a piece of hard candy, clicking around on his teeth in the back of his mouth?
I find it totally disgusting that benefits are tied in to production.

Awesome! Here, a local computer repair shop has a similar commercial. Its really funny. nm

Hahaha I like it!
.
hahaha
and they can call it USI (United States of India Trans___s/l iption Servises. Their website can brag of the great work they do and services they provide for their customers. Like a TAT of 24 to 72 hours, depending on how hard the doctor is. They can boast that they will have a 2 percent accuracy percentage. That is 2 percent if you want the lowest rate which doesnt offer QA services. But your accuracy percentage can go up to almost 50 percent if their experienced QA team glances over your document and can hopefully spell everything right that you dictate. And then there is the only 2 reports out of 100 typed discount where they could only type 2 because they couldn't understand the rest and they cherry picked! And OOPS, there is the no one else to type it cuz the Indians didnt understand you either discount.
HAHAHA
You are all so arrogant. Do you really think your abilities are sooooo keen that you can have this special sense of what poster is who? Actually, I am the one ROFL because you all look so silly. I AM a different poster than the other. I dont work for MQ, just an MT who is SICK AND TIRED of hearing you gripe and complain like infants! Not all MTs have bad attitudes and complain all day long. And just because there may be 2 or more people posting good things doesnt mean they are really just 1 person.
Of course, if it makes you feel better to think that there could only be 1 person who is tired of hearing it, then go ahead and PRETEND.
HELPFUL HINT: If you took all the time you spent complaining and applied it to work, MAYBE you could make more than the 2 dollars an hour you are complaining about.
HAHAHA Whatever do you mean by that?!
HAHAHAHA
There are quite a few good conversations to stay out of here. It's frightening, the character shown on this board! Amusing sometimes...mainly sad and frightening!
I appreciate the information. Thank you!
with a man who is on the down-low.....HAHAHA.nm

hahaha, I like that !......nm

Hahaha....you
soooo should write that note! Hilarious post 
Hahaha Well, now have you had any MT experience at all?
Any education from an MT course?
You WILL have to learn! When I worked at the hospital and trained MTs, it was MUCH easier to train them starting on a specialty or two first, and I usually started with cardiology and orthopedics. Then went to neurology, oncology, infectious disease, and so forth.
Again, that is MY experience and MY perspective. Others may tell you different.
Illegal? Hahaha
Your so-called contract was a statement of what your rate would be at that time. It did not guarantee you any specific amount of work nor pay for any specified length of time.
Go seek help! Go seek an attorney! Throw more of the money you're losing to a cause you won't win.
It's disheartening, I agree. Spheris has done it...know what? They're still in business and they still have great MTs (along with the pitiful ones as well). A few jumped ship when it happened; some came back. New ones came on board. The company moved on and is doing better.
That is what will happen here. I'm not trying to downplay your reaction -- you are right to feel upset about it. But please, please don't waste more of what you are losing by seeking help where you won't find it.
Regarding the F9 feature -- absolutely no company is required to charge clients and pay employees on the same definition...and yes, there is a difference - it is called making a profit. If MQ (or any other MT company) wants to charge clients for a flat rate, a per-minute rate, a per-line rate, a combination of flat rate per report + lines, etc., but pay their MTs only a 65-character line...then that is their right. It isn't any MTs business what/how MQ charges their clients. That's business, period. Not just this industry either.
It IS your business that you be paid what you agreed to under your "contract". However, since they have adjusted their pay scale, that "contract" is null. You have the right not to accept it by quitting. You have as much right to nullify that contract as they do.
This is an exchange -- skills and services for money. If either party doesn't care for how the other is conducting/upholding their end, or if circumstances change, either party can leave. It is called employment at will.
Please, save yourself the money at least. Work on healing the heartache of it.
Hahaha -- I'm confused on who I was even
talking to...you or the one who answered below!!
Oh well, I think we all got each other's points!!
We are really dating ourselves here, huh?! Hahaha
The mother of one of my son's friends said something to that effect to me the other day. She is a stay-at-home mom and they live only on what her husband makes. Great for them. They are very religious. Great.
However, then she proceeded to tell me that if more women would just stay home instead of having to have their SUVs and their face lifts and their fashionable clothes, that the men could then make decent money to support their families.
Once she caught the look on my face, she quickly made a notation that of course that didn't apply to women like ME who had to support a family by themselves. I just smiled.
Again, if I have a billion dollars and want to work -- that's my right and my choice. I don't owe it to any man or any other woman to sit down and not take a job so they can have it!
That kind of thinking is dangerous, in my opinion.
