OMG..NEVER read this at night! I THINK I'M STARVIN' NOW! LMAO

Night Owl - Yours is the most worthwhile post I have ever read on these boards
When working from home, whether dealing with clients, MT management, or QA personnel, you can just feel the negative vibes coming off of people over so little. It causes a very stressful environment. Maybe that is where some of the MTs on here develop that attitude, I don't know. The awful insults, comments, and degrading people on here is absolutely unbelievable. Just because you have 15, 20, 30 years of experience in this field, that is no excuse for rudeness. Once you have insulted someone to the point I have seen here, your MT experience means nothing to me, and if I were a management person and knew this about you, you would not work for my company no matter how perfect your MT skills are. This says a great deal about you. Perhaps people in general will write things they would never say to a person face to face. I happen to be a very mature, very experienced MT. I feel like my knowledge should be used to help someone, not degrade them. I hope the MTs who have posted above on this comment will continue to call these people out when they post these horrible comments. Even if you are right (which seems to be the most important thing in the world to them), there is a way of stating facts, opinions, and comments that you have yet to learn in dealing with people even if it is not face to face.
here is the link to the shampoo
http://www.avenaherbs.com/
Deb Soule has written quite a few books, the farm is unbelievable, and the shampoo for dogs was the best I had ever used on my beloved beagle. Hate to keep boasting like this, but my beagle actually liked being bathed in this shampoo as opposed to the other stuff we had given her.
So when are you coming over to shampoo my rugs?
They get soooooooo dirty, sooooooooo fast. I'm talking light pink here. We do have an Electrolux carpet shampooer and we honestly use it at least once a month for full carpet cleaning and even more for spot cleaning. Otherwise I'd have a pink rug with brown stripes. :)
Another shampoo/conditioner idea
Go to Sally Beauty Supply. They occasionally have their shampoo on sale - one-gallon jugs of concentrate for $5. Variety of fragrances and formulas with matching conditioner. This stuff has lasted me over a year and is still going strong.
I'd just use a regular /baby shampoo until you can
flea shampoo for puppies, then get some Frontline or Advantage....just check what the age is for it, pretty sure you can use those puppies. Keep her away from the other dogs obviously, especially if she has worms as just about all puppies do.
Not people-baby shampoo. pH is too low.
My vet says regular people shampoo isn't so bad, but people baby shampoo has a much lower pH that is totally wrong for dogs. Now puppy shampoo is great. It has the same anesthetic for the eyes that baby shampoo has, but with the correct, higher pH. He also assured me that it is okay to use people dandruff shampoo on cats or dogs now and then, especially if the animal has oily-type dandruff.
He drenches the sheets sometimes
but last night he was fine, just a little clammy. I guess I'll have to drag him to the doctor, that's a whole 'nother battle ground! His thought is "usually people don't die until they find out something is wrong with them" ....makes you want to smack your head on the wall, huh?
I mean he hasn't been sick, doesn't seem to run a temp (i've checked his a couple of times to see if maybe he was just getting sick) like I said he said he feels fine.
Thyroid issues run in his family though, and so do heart issues.
Thanks for the input!
SE's do not have to submit time sheets.

I agree about Carlton Sheets....
A very good friend of mine got in way over his head, because he had no real money of his own, lost it all and also had a complete breakdown. His wife left him, etc. It was a mess. Real estate investing is NOT for anyone. You really have to be very well off to be an investor. Unfortunately Carlton Sheets is the only one laughing all the way to the bank : (
the extra bottle for the shampoo is an excellent idea
I could prob do that for just about every soap I use.
OMG! Just checked my time sheets regarding the post below
about drop down menu having changed for our stats, and the time sheet is JUST LIKE SPHERIS NOW!!! The poster below is right - there is no more choice of "correction" for editing versus transcription, and there are a zillion in and out boxes to log in, JUST LIKE SPHERIS!! Bet the new "pay plan" is now here, and we'll hear really soon....The time sheets are ready - just might help if we knew, too!
Car dealerships use dryer sheets in used cars.
After wiping what you can with the alcohol as suggested, put a few Bounce dryer sheets in the sealed trashbag.
Yep, that's why MQ is still ALLOWED to trade away daily on the pink sheets!
You don't even know what you're talking about! Just plain old ignorant, but posting away about the SEC. The stocks are still active, being analyzed daily, sold, bought, traded - but on pink sheets. Educate yourself before you post!
You could bathe with a gentle shampoo or even dish detergent, rinse well and if you have vinegar do
a vinegar rinse and then do a final rinse. This might drown the fleas or at least stun them. If dog is light colored you might be able to see them and pick them off when dog is wet. If you have a dog brush, brush it outside and you might get some off that way. If you have tea tree oil you can put some around its neck area or on a collar if you have one. This is a fairly strong smell though and we've always had to wash it off the same day, though lots of people swear by this. I can't think of anything else you can do with stuff you already have around the house.
We adopted 3 kittens from the shelter and have never had a flea problem, but now we can't seem to get rid of them and my dog is on 3 different treatments and I still find an occasional flea. She has developed a sensitivity to bites too and scratches all the time and can't take prednisone because she has Cushings.
Growing up we had a tri-colored Pembroke corgi. He was the sweetest thing and I still miss him terribly, 30 years later.
I am a bit of a dunce with spread sheets - how can I take an alphabetical list of doctors with their

I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
No one advises buying stocks that use pink sheets. Go back to Mars.

heads up on X-mas
My mother likes to read soap mags, and they have these advertisements for really pretty items at the back. I decided to see if they sold these items on the web, and sure enough:
http://ardleighelliott.collectiblestoday.com/ct/store/ardleighelliott/store_ae_front.jsp?cm_ven=Search&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Performics&cm_ite=j1792169
So, for anyone who likes to give these types of gifts, you'll find plenty here. I think the prices are fairly reasonable.
And, no, I have no connection with this company. I just think they have beautiful items that would make wonderful gifts.
That is because men have 2 HEADS! nm

What fun. Thanks for the heads-up. nm

Thanks for the heads-up.....sm
I have to tell you that I grew up in Scarsdale NY also (like Linda McCartney) and the rumor was she was an Eastman. So, I thank you for the heads-up and I just did my own research and came up with this paragraph:
It is often stated that Linda McCartney is related to the Eastman Kodak dynasty. This is a myth and McCartney had no connection with the family, as she herself explained in an interview. Her maiden name of Eastman was an anglicised version of her family's original name, Epstein, coincidentally the same surname as the Beatles' long-time manager Brian.
thanks for the heads up
I'll definitely be watching with my box of tissues by my side. 
thanks for the heads up
I appreciate it. This will be parttime work for me as I have a fulltime job too so at least I have something to fall back on if it doesnt work out. It sounds like the hot keys are where it's at!
Thanks again
Exactly and I can't get that through their heads. sm
I took ICD9 and CPT only coding class in 2002. I'm taking a billing and coding class now which is not really heavy on the coding. I'm not ready to take a certification exam. Along with the housekeeping "suggestion" she also suggested "you might have to take a menial job." I assume she meant a minimum wage job. Why should I do that when I'm making more than that now? What possible "benefits" are worth that?
thanks for the heads up!
i wasn't paying attention to the "audio hour" not sure how that was calculated. nice of you to warn her!! :)
Can you go over both of their heads to the department
supervisor? Tell her that you're getting conflicting reports on your job performance. Do you have emails saying that you're doing great? Keep them, print them. Explain to the department head that you simply can't afford to pay for gas or daycare to work in-house. (Yeah, I've told my supervisors this before and their reply was that my daycare and gas expenses weren't their problem. I told them it was their problem and quit.) What is your production level? Eleven minutes or 130 lines per hour are about the average for direct hospital work. It's usually less than that in-house with all the interruptions and other tasks.
As far as the online company, can you work part-time or as-needed for them for a while? Is there any way you could do both jobs until after you get the bonus? You applied Friday and got called back Monday. That tells me that they're interested and you're a decent MT. How much research have you done into this company? Are you sure it's the best company for you? Honestly, if you're good, you'll get more offers. Sometimes it's nice to have the security net of a hospital job and a regular paycheck, especially with Christmas and bonuses coming up. Your production will probably drop by starting a new account, and it's not the best time of year to be taking a pay cut.
Thank you both for your responses, especially for the heads-up, lw.
I have been hesitant as well, not only here, but at other MT sites also.
Are the other MT sites particular about who views the resumes as well?
Are offshore companies allowed to view them?
TIA
Have you tried cleaning the heads?
Check the printer software for an option to do that and/or diagnostic tool.
PA Sales Tax - HEADS UP PA MTs
Everyone has to know about this. I posted this on the tax board, too.
How desperate are the governors getting? PA sent out tax forms to everyone that bought cigarettes from a Native American reservation and they want their tax money. One woman in PA was hit up for over $4,800 and last week, they slapped a Sheriff's Sale sign on her property.
Now, my DH received a letter today. They want anyone in business who bought anything from out-of-state companies (office supplies, equipment, tools, etc.) that don't reciprocate taxes to PA, to pay up. This doesn't just apply to last year. This goes all the way back to 1981!!! Since when, since records do not have to be kept after a certain amount of years, how can they do this? DH doesn't have to worry about it that much. He usually always buys in PA.
I certainly do not have any receipts back to 1981 when I was an IC!
It's bad enough the governor is "threatening" to raise property taxes if he can't pass the higher income tax, but now this. I think our state government should stop the spending like he's always done. We're broke, yet he keeps handing out money.
It's taco night! (again.....) We had taco pizza last night, southwestern chicken soup before th
Maybe I'll just have a salad.
I will. Just wanted to give a heads up about this

We all start "over our heads" (sm)
I remember thinking my first day on the job "well, here is something I know I'll never be able to do!" - That was 23 years ago and I love transcription. If time flies while you are transcribing, then it could still be the thing for you.
You can try cleaning the heads or changing out the
ink cartridge, especially if you have one of the trial or low capacity ink cartridges.
Go to your Start Menu, Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, right click on Dell Printer 720, Properties, General, Printing Preferences, Options pulldown menu in the top right hand corner of that screen. Then you go to Troubleshooting and you can check your ink cartridge levels. Cleaning is under the little ink drop menu tab on the left hand side under maintenance tool.
Thanks for the heads up on the Belkin. I'm crossing
this one off my list for sure...I've had to use that type of keyboard before where you have to push too hard on the keys - not good!
Thx for the heads-up! I haven't been in there enough to find that out yet. nm

Thanks for the heads-up. You are 2nd person I've heard that from
holding "outsourcing" over the MT employees' heads.
So I guess hospitals by and large still have not learned the lesson quite yet.
Sit back, they will. 
They haven't heard the "sucking" noise of their money going out the mail shute yet. When they still have to hire people to CLEAN UP what comes back to them after spending wads of money TO BUY OR LEASE THE EQUIPMENT TO HAVE VR...and the finance and accounting man comes to the staff meeting and says WE ARE SPENDING MORE ON MEDICAL RECORDS AND TRANSCRIPTION THAN ON THE WHOLE HEART DIVISION !!!! there will be a clanging of the doors to nationals. (stay tuned  )
clean the heads with an alcohol prep, if
you have one, or take out the ink jet cartridge and using a gentle wrist motion, turn it up and down a few times and replace.
That explains a great deal. Thanks for the heads up.
I unsure what the rambling incoherence was due to, but that makes more sense than just her being off her meds or something.
That's called "doctor swapping" and yes I would give the doc the heads-up

Dogs dying from 'miracle drug'. Heads up, doggie owners
Marketed as a miracle drug for man's best friend, Rimadyl is one of the most popular painkillers available for dogs. And it's killing dogs by the thousands.
Vince Sharkey was faced with the decision every pet owner dreads, whether to euthanize his beloved dog King Billy.
Arthritis and deteriorating bones made it too painful for the 8-year-old golden retriever to walk.
His veterinarian recommended putting the dog down.
"He had so much life in him. I said, 'I just can't do that'."
Then Sharkey discovered Rimadyl, a prescription anti-inflammatory drug heavily marketed to owners of older dogs. Sharkey says Rimadyl saved his dog's life.
"Before I had him on the Rimadyl he was not even able to walk. He would drag his back half of his body. The moment we got him on Rimadyl, he was back to being his normal self again.
But Lynne Bradburn tells a very different story.
Her Saint Bernard, Honor, was just 22 months old when he died after taking Rimadyl for a sprained knee.
"He'd been sitting in my lap. And he looked up at me, and he died," Bradburn said.
Honor died after taking just four doses of the drug.
"They tell you it's as safe as aspirin. But it's not. And yes, I'm angry. And I will always be angry," Bradburn said.
The FDA reports some 12,516 complaints about Rimadyl dating back to 1997, including more than 2,300 cases where the dog died or had to be euthanized. The largest number of cases involve liver or kidney failure or internal bleeding.
Rimadyl's manufacturer, Pfizer, maintains the drug is safe, saying some 10 million dogs have taken over a billion doses of the drug, with less than 1 percent of them experiencing any negative side effects.
"There are side effects just as there are benefits with all medicines, with all medical procedures and certainly with Rimadyl. The good news about Rimadyl is that for the overwhelming majority of those 10 million dogs, plus, it has provided safe and effective pain relief," said Pfizer spokesman Robert Fauteux.
But the FDA approved Rimadyl after it was tested on just 549 dogs, raising the question, were the rest of the dogs that took the drug acting as guinea pigs?
Retired veterinarian turned attorney Paul Mabrey says a drug for humans would never be allowed on the market with such a small sample.
In response to continued concerns about the drug, Pfizer sent a letter to veterinarians across the country warning them that some side effects may "occur without warning" and, in rare situations may result in "hospitalization or even death."
Still, veterinarians continue prescribing Rimadyl more than any other drug in its class. But they're careful to warn dog owners looking for a miracle cure.
"There's a lot of people that want the medication not fully aware of everything that's entailed with that but we make sure to do everything we can to educate before they go on the medication," said Dr. Deborah Feltz, a the Elliott Bay Animal Hospital.
It's a warning echoed by those who know first hand what happens when a miracle drug proves imperfect.
Heads up warning! A company called DictaCall posted a classified ad
Heads up warning! A company called DictaCall posted a classified ad
here yesterday claiming great cost savings. After researching the company, I have found that the company is overseas in India and is offering the identical rate structure as another US voice service. There is absolutely no cost savings whatsoever and anyone using their voice system would be calling into a toll free number where the voice file would end up on a server in Calcutta, West Bengal, India.
What does this mean to you, the transcription service?
1. HIPAA compliance is compromised.
2. Your client information is at risk. Offshore entities can come in try to undercut you and take your business.
3. In case of outage, you're stuck if you can't get in touch with technical support.
I could go on, but I think you can probably see the same big problems that I see.
