One thing about wading thru pages and pages looking for negatives, is...
it really does show that the seller is overall very good. Know what I mean? There will always, always, always be those customers who are impossible to please, especially on E-Bay. I've gotten almost all my negatives from leaving calm, but justifiable negatives when the buyer had stiffed me and not gone thru with the sale. We are called to leave these negatives as sellers to warn the community, but instantly we will get flamed with a retaliatory negative that is a total lie. So, now most sellers don't leave justified negatives anymore! That said, really, if you have to wade thru page after page to find even 1 negative, I would say you're safe bidding, as long as the feedback is current!
Thank you 'Happy Robin'.....sm
My only mistake was my typo
't' instead of 'd'.
Thanks God, there are still smart MTs in this profession, like you.
I want to thank 'Explaiing Ebonics' and 'Happy MTRobin'
for their comments.
These 2 are the only ones who showed to have a brain when answerin g my 1st question.
I am not Indian, not black, I live in New York. I am white and I have no contact with people who talk Ebonics.
To all the others who gave 'paranoid', actually 'stupid' comments to my question that opened this thread, I PITY you and get some education or visit a psychiatrist.
Definitely the most deranged poster is 'NOT PARANOID/NOT WORRIED.
?? I see all as usual, pages ad pages. NM

this was just discussed on the
company board. Go to it and scroll down to about 6/19 with comment from Oh, yes, it a full moon for sure. I thought there was another one, too, but I did not see it. Good luck to you.

I didn't know it had been discussed either - sm
I don't visit here often.
I have two kids at home (12 and 13) and I roll in the morning and then start to slide at the half way point myself.
I start at 7:30 and take a break about 11:30 or so for lunch, then work some more.
If I am really dragging... I start day dreaming a bit. Okay, a lot. Means i have to go back and read everything more thoroughly but the typing part gets done a heckova lot faster.
This has been discussed extensively. There is

if you discussed (in ANY way) business, yes.
have a receipt with date.
This is the big problem here and what we discussed
Never had famine, still don’t.I had 2 children and worked out of the home. How can you let yourself go downhill and just say I sit here trying to make it. That is why this profession has gone down because of no one wanting to leave the house to have a job, just want to sit at home because they have a child. What happens when no money at all, do you still just sit there trying to make it. I had more get up and go, I guess, than what I am reading on here now days. I always wanted to have things like a roof over my head, food for the family, nice vacations and I worked for it. No wonder the companies are offering less and less money to do this job because they have found people willing to wait on things. Before long the workers are going to have to pay the employers to have a job.
TOOOO MUCH!! Which is why it was discussed BEFORE we had kids! LOL
He is adament that the kids will have balance, structure and guides (apparnetly as long as his mother does not object)...fine by me as I was raised that way...however, trying to get a kid to face facts when they were told it was not their fault and they they should be in trouble.....well gee...that is not a recurring line I want used in the house and have yet to get him to admit he was wrong since she told him he was not! Hence, huge morality issue he needs to learn for his life. Talking to him all you get is "they say" instead of I did, I was wrong, etc....she has it in his head he is right, they are wrong!!!! Our actions are our doing whether good, bad or indifferent. 
It sounds like you and BF have discussed a split up.
At least that's what I think I read below in one of the posts.
The economy of our country is in the toilet right now. Very few things are secure. Times are tough and fixing to get tougher. If there is any way you can slow down, get your bearings, get into a halfway secure position --- your mental health will be better.
You need your mental health in order to be there for your kids.
Have you considered moving the "molehill" instead of the "mountain"?
If the BF has already been approached about the split, what is his position on HIM MOVING out and not you and the kids? That would be lots less destructive for them.
Also, I wouldn't count on any PT transcription job anywhere right now. Trust me on this. This job type is so fluid right now - it's a circus.
I wouldn't move from square one until I got the FT at the hospital. DON'T MOVE UNTIL YOU FIGURE OUT IF YOU CAN GET THAT JOB. Then get into it, see what you have to work with.
Secondly, I would not leave myself dependent on the BF for anything but money, and then the courts can get it for you if he decides he doesn't like this, gets a new honey, or gets a "wild hair" and decides to leave the country.
Don't depend on him for babysitting, don't "be nice" and try to share the babysitting. DON'T DO IT. Get yourself positioned so you are calling all your shots.
I know MT looks good on paper when they are selling you an idea of working from home and STAYING WITH YOUR KIDS, but it doesn't work. The mom ends up the zombie and life becomes like the twilight zone. I know. I tried it. You need to get at the hospital, get daycare, get your childsupport coming in, .........and then think about moving or even buying. In fact, if you wait, the housing prices are expected to fall even more. There was an article in our paper about it again yesterday. Hold off. If you rent, if the plumbing goes, if the A/C or heater goes......the landlord is responsible.
I don't know if this will give you some things to consider but I hope so. I raised my kids by myself (of course it was different times but the men were the same, ugh!) and at some times I didn't seem them for having to work so many hours. I wish now I had just gotten me a State worker job, 8-5, insurance, retirement, gotten a little house even if I had gotten on a program where it was federally assisted, and gone that route. We could have been together as a family, I wouldn't be doing this horrible life I have now with trying to still work at 60 years old with no place to live.
Think about the future - it's right around the corner. The kids will be gone and trust me, they won't look back even if they love you lots. They will be BUSY and you will be an afterthought. All things in moderation.
First thing - DON'T MOVE, let him move.
Second thing - WAIT FOR THE FT JOB.
Third thing - Be getting that child support coming in.
I wish you the best.
 p.s. Even if you decide you just have to move and rent even a 2-BEDROOM...it can certainly be done. My ggg grandparents raised 13 kids in a 2 bedroom old farm house. Kids slept all over the place!  You and the older kid could share if it's a girl/or if a boy, let him share a bedroom with one of the little ones, and you put the other little one in your room and make a game of it - they will all pitch in and later you all will have "war stories" to talk about when everbody is grown up.
Look on the company board, they are discussed
almost daily.
language was being discussed - not just plead
look down 2 lines and you will see this subject discussed. nm

Discussed this with my boss yesterday
She said she had employees who are missionaries and as long as they maintain a legal residence in the US for tax purposes, she has no problem with it.
This is also discussed on the company board
web pages
No that I wanted links posted - would be nice - but just curious if other shave a site or myspeace page for their own benefit.
I appreciate your info
I know this has been discussed before but how long does it take to relisten to reports that you have
typed. I know some people do that and some dont. So far I have done okay on QA but if I dont I was just wondering how much extra time per day you figure you need to relisten to reports. I usually do about 30 to 35 medium length reports acute care or 1800 to 2000 lines. What errors do you find mostly when you relisten or is it not worth the extra time it takes. Just curious.
And we've discussed this before on this board. Life is not that
simple for me. If I leave the state, I leave my elderly parents that I care for and I leave my minor children because they legally cannot cross state lines without their father's permission. He's not going to OK that. Besides, I'm happy doing MT. Who ever said I was not happy doing MT? It works great with all the family I have to care for. I just wish I hadn't wasted time and money going to college, especially when the job market in my state got oversaturated with other college grads.
Unlimited long distance...I know this has been discussed before...but..sm
just received letter from AT&T informing me that I cannot use their unlimited plan for what I am using it for, and if I continue to do so, they will charge me a per minute rate and/or remove the service. I need to know where to go for an unlimited long distance package for transcription. Please post and let me know what you all use. Without unlimited, what the heck are we supposed to do? What does everyone else do? Any help and info would be appreciated. Thank you

need some reference web pages?
 Hi all,
If you would like some web pages to add to your "favorites," feel free to visit my website at:

In 1985, when their BOS was only 85 pages....sm
Back in the 80s, AAMT used to care about all the MTs. Their BOS was only 85 pages long (I still have one of these BOS....a gold book, very tall and very skinny)....then the AAMT got big and it all went to their heads and their 2nd edition BOS is close to something like 600+ pages long. And now they support offshoring to India/Pakistan. At that point, they no longer cared about the USA MTs.
Later for the AAMT..........*L*.......MUCH later.
Yellow pages
Since my phone is listed under my business name I get a free listing and have gotten quite a few one-time only jobs, seminars, interviews, etc. that really pay well and not needing a 24 TAT and it has worked for me. Also no 1099's with then as it is a one time job. Last year got a 10 tape seminiar on pet therapy and it was almost $2,000 for the seminar done in our spare time over 2 weeks. Just my 2 cents worth.
1st one in the 1980s was 85 pages....sm
the first AAMT BOS was 85-90 pages long back in 1985....the one I have today, Second Edition bought 2 years ago....has I do believe 600 pages.....
so your question about what has changed cannot be answered in the post here......get yourself a copy ?? Can be ordered right from their site....aamt.org
That is at the top of all pages - I forgot about it! Thanks. (NM)
Goldbird
and many are 3-4 pages long....sm
I loved them, back in the days - a lot of these reports are EXPERT WITNESS reports too...and perhaps the dictator has not even seen the patient....just reporting based on medical records/radiology, et cetera. Most of mine (back in the days) were 3-4 pages long, done for orthopaedists and/or chiropractors.
This is strange. I just discussed a flexible on-call person
for radiology with the owner of Keystrokes, where I have worked for 4 years. We were discussing the feasibility of having someone trained on a few accounts, ready to do "x" number of reports a day without a fixed schedule, floating on a few different accounts.
If anyone is interested, please email the office. You can do so through the ads on the job seekers board.
This also involves AHDI, so I think it should be discussed here on the Main Board, not just MQ's
xx
I understand, I think it is just here lately the pages are full of nothing but MQ and then
it turns into arguments and nasty remarks, and so forth.
It isnt really the talking about MQ, it is just the bickering going on about it.
I understand completely about wanting to discuss some things.
I dont really mind the MQ posts, but they are so large in number.
I hope things clear up. Maybe if you and other MQ employees that have a lot of time with them all take some "time off" at the same time, they could get the idea they need you guys.
I guess if I was with someone for that length of time, I would have the same feelings.
I really do wish you the best and I dont want you to think anyone has singled you out. It is the whole MQ thing.
I think we are all scared because MQ is a leading company and scared that they are ruining the whole MT business for us all.
We would all love to see MQ split up or downsize and not be such a big part of the industry. Then again we dont want to see people out of a job either.
Wow, almost 4 pages of the stuff, someone has been busy, nothing better

I knew I saw this a few pages ago and searched for you.
Here's a link
2nd edition over 600 pages long....sm
your client is out of touch........*lol*
What about the pages where you only type a few lines?
You're still making out better getting paid per page. I know I am.
Spoke too soon. Only working on some pages, not all. nm

Not biting ... it's been discussed in heated detail on about pg 3 of this board. haha

For OTHER pages, scroll the other way or go to the View menu. SM
Look for Text Size. It won't fix the huge text on this page, though.
Pages are very slow to open for me tonight, some not at all. Anyone else? nm

Need to ask about docs saying "use my normal," too. Could be a few pages if an op! nm

Go through your local yellow pages and call
companies who advertise they offer health insurance. Call several companies as the premiums can vary widely, although the coverage will be the same. I did this and called 6 different companies and the premiums varied as much as $200.00/mo for the same exact insurance. Celtic was the company that had the best rate for us, but that was nearly 4 years ago. If you have no pre-existing conditions you can get a temporary insurance through Fortis for 6 months to a year depending on your state, provided that you have not been without coverage for greater than 45 (I think) days. You can also go on-line to einsurance.com and get an idea of rates, though I still suggest you call local agencies.
Check out Jon Barron's health pages
Good info and will help you. Liver detox is for real and don't listen to anyone saying it isn't. Too many people helped by this. Jon Barron and Herbert Shelton can't be wrong. Don Colbert, M.D. also recommends this. Get Paul Bragg's book on fasting. Can't go wrong. Good luck to you.
