Know of this - its fantastic
Have been using this for well over a year now and its been a really great help in finding words. I have this as my homepage now, instead of Google. It has all the features of Google, but just so much better. Guess its due to all those medical websites added to its database. If you use this, you'd notice that the first few search results pages almost always show up quality medical links. Normally, you don't have to go beyond a maximum of two search results pages to get what you are lookin for. Try it - you'd know what I'm talkin about :)
that's fantastic! congrats!!
how did you get so lucky to find a man that can actually voice his appreciation of you to you!!??? there aren't many out there like that.
what about the fantastic four, remember them?
I think there is a movie out about them, but my boyfriend and his brother liked the characters from childhood. For their basketball team, they had T-shirts made up; one was the torch, one was the rubber man, etc.
Since they brought it back and made a movie, it may be a bit overdone now, though.
Gee, are these four boys, four girls, ages - do they like scary or are they just small?
Fantastic Sams
Do you have a Fantastic Sams in your area. In my area they do a good job and they don't cost a fortune. But in all cases, be careful about who you let color your hair. You can also lookup the websites of the different hair color products on the Internet and some of them have a consultation area where you can talk to someone to get advice.
Ours is right at $3, but I get FANTASTIC gas mileage.
I feel for those of with you SUV's and minivans. Filling those up has got to be expensive.
Fantastic!!!! Good for you :-) nm

OMG!!! That was totally fantastic! sm
Such great talent for a little boy.  
Who is this fantastic company? May want to apply.

Katharine is my top pick by far. Fantastic all around. nm

Hey, Ghost, yes, I got these two years ago, they are fantastic,,,,,sm
They really block out any noise around your house, are comfortable, but best of all they produce crisp, clear, life-like sound for all those mumble-mouth dictators.....won't solve everything, but I have been doing this over 25 years, used Dictaphone, and many many other brands, Bose rocks, not to mention using them for music listening, absolutely awesome and worth the bucks, IMHO! 
I thought Transolutions was sooo fantastic, don't they have something to help you with that?

I believe fantastic transcripts only hires locals - sm
But I am not sure. If that is the company out in Burbank/LA - I thought they only hire within 30 minutes of the area. I could be wrong.
Been working on a fantastic project at work...sm
Helping prepare for President Bush to come and give his Veterans Day speech from where I work. It's amazing to see how they put everything together in a few short days. We got word less than a week ago he was even coming, and now we are overrun with preparations and White House/Security staff. Hoping I can get a ticket for my 10 y/o daughter to come to see the speech. If you would have told me 15 months ago when I took this job that I'd be working on this now, I never would have believed you. I worked at home for 13 years, so this is all really huge switch for me.
Sounds fantastic. I wouldn't stres-sm
about it. The colors sound great--the menu sounds delicious. Either place you put the food would be fine. Have fun!
What a fantastic, cogent, and TRUTHFUL post.....sm
We at home have been reduced, in most part, to a pair of hands who are there to pound out high-quality work at all times, put out high-volume work to bring in the $$$ for the company/corporation, and because we are employed at home in order to save physicians, hospitals, and other health care systems $$$, we are where the buck stops, and it is a small buck at that. We are all a separate entity, working remotely, and as such it is easier for many MTSOs to offer the slimmest package they possibly can, and squeeze the most out of the workers. When will companies realize that a happy worker who feels valued and cared about is a more productive, loyal, and healthier asset to the company. I have worked in hospitals with unions, and to be honest, we would still be making half of what we now make were it not for union negotiations standing up for us, the dues are small compared to the guaranteed packages, and guaranteed raises built in to the contract for the next five years, as inflation eats up our paychecks. MTs study hard, must be experts at anatomy, epidemiology, grammar, semantics, translations for ESLs, understand clinical procedures during difficult procedures, edit, trouble-shoot when there is a problem with a file, be tech-savvy....I truly think, after almost 20 years, that MT as a profession has consistently been undervalued and undermined by offshoring. Sorry to rant, but all of these problems have hurt and affected most MTs for many, many years, and their families. Thanks!
Fantastic program .. I have hired MTEC
grads and have been really pleased with them. I would definitely suggest you choose that program. Wonderful education and caring staff.
I do, 20 bucks plus shipping. Pedal works fantastic, hardly used.
click on blue link to email me.
This is a fantastic idea actually (renting hotel room)
It may be tax deductible. I actually like my home and it is affordable as I got it at a low price several years ago and put a big down payment on it. In other words, I doubt if I could repeat this. No small children. What I am thinking of is that I will probably have to work until I am 60 at least. The only other option would be to go back to school and get training in another skill but even that seems difficult. I have no idea what I could learn and work at other than nursing.
Thank you very much
Wedding websites are fantastic..that address can be shared on the save the date card.

Thanks for all the replies. (sm)
I think I just might give it a try.
Thanks for the replies. I am going to bid on . . .
the CDs. A note is on the listings that the key passwords are included. :) Anyway, thanks. I think I want them and will do as suggested regarding HPI and other materials. Our library said they don't have the program and have no plans to get it. :(
Thank you for your replies.
I think I'll try the frozen peas and see how that works out. It's not so much that the pain is excruciating, it's just constant and driving me nuts. I have had problems for years with numb hands and right rotator cuff tear and bursitis, and now my right arm has to ache. I had an EMG/NCV a few years ago that was normal - which baffled the neurologist since my symptoms had sounded exactly like carpal tunnel to him. So I have lived 8 years with numb hands and 3 years with excruciating right shoulder pain, and I'm only 31. The neurologist told me he didn't think it was the typing causing the problem - HUH? I can't imagine what else it might be. Anyway, didn't mean to write a novel. Thank you guys so much.

It seems we applied to the same company and got the same replies. I didn't do anything about testing or replying to the email either.
I then got the same email you did about the position being filled.
Nothing like a form letter!
Thanks so much for all the replies. sm
I am going to see the doctor in 2 weeks for a consult. I have been kicking the idea around for several years. One month, it won't be so bad and I think, "I can deal with this." Then the next few months, I lose at least 2 nights of sleep because of having to get up twice a night to change...stuff, and I think, "Why didn't you call???!!!" And also scheduling my life around it and constantly counting days on the calendar, not exactly sure when it's going to arrive. Last year, I got my period in the Atlanta airport on the way to Disney World. I was crushed! Also last summer, I knew I was going to get it sometime while at the beach, so got 2 months of birth control pills and took them continuously so I could skip a period, but the pill has a set of symptoms all their own for me! So, it's definitely time to look into this more closely!
Thanks again!
Thanks for your replies. nm

Thanks to both of you for your replies :-)
I'm going to try out your suggestions and talk with my doctor also. Hopefully it will get better. I appreciate it!
Thank you all for your replies! sm
Thanks for a very interesting discussion. I wasn't looking for permission to make errors! I just wondered if people believed that MT errors are a huge danger to the patient. It seemed to me that common sense would say that there are more safeguards for the patient than a dictated note in the record. We should be very careful to make our work as accurate as possible, especially to avoid the cascade of misinformation that can follow a patient forever, as was pointed out in one of the posts. Thanks again, everyone for taking the time to respond with these excellent posts.
Thank you very much for your replies.

Thank you all so much for your replies!...
These help a lot! This is second marriages for both, hence why we decided on Vegas...no big wedding, but it has been years since either of us have been there, so we really don't have much to go on. We will be going the second week of June, so no BIG BLAST either, haha.
Thanks again!!
Thanks for the replies!
Thanks for the feedback. I will just have to find one that has enough space for everything so I am not defeating the purpose of getting one!
Thanks, again.

Thanks to all the replies!! :-)
Thanks again!
Thank you all so much for your replies. I am definitely
going to give it a try. I figure even if I graduate at 48, I'll still have a good 17 years of work ahead of me.
I always see lots of ads in my local paper for SLPs and after researching the job it is definitely something I would love to do. I do know I will have to go for my Masters as well which means I'll be in college when my kids are in college. Thank goodness student loans are considered *good loans*:)
Thank you all for the replies
I have heard that sometimes hospitals are hard to get money from at first, contract or no. This is a very small hospital with three doctors dictating, so here's hoping the bill won't get lost between exchanging hands. Thanks for the well wishes too!
Thanks for the replies.
I'll pass them along.
Thanks for all of the replies...sm
I do really need to see a PCP/psych because I haven't been to a doctor ever since my son was born and that was 4 years ago. I am lucky now because I have no medical problems and have not had any my entire life but there is a long line of family history of cancer, cardiac problems, lung problems, etc....and not only do I want to trim down to help my self image but also for health concerns. I want to be here a long time for my son and if I can lose now before something drastically happens then I will be okay. I feel like there is something sabotaging my weight loss. I have been buying the right foods, making sure not much bad food is in the house. I guess it just takes time.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Food is an addiction just like cigarettes, drugs and alcohol. It is hard to overcome but we can all overcome anything that we really set our mind too and if we have support then that is even better! Thanks again.
thank you for your replies...
Some of the things said have given me MORE cause for thought.
I did not want to start a school. I would not expect to make a large amount of money mentoring.
I just can't seem to let go of the idea that there is a large gap between someone graduating from a training program and having the ability to start working, ESPECIALLY at home.
Again, thank you for your time.
Thank you for your replies
I checked out the Mohawk and will try to go with it.
Thank you all who posted!
Thanks for the replies
My BIL was drinking again today, thank goodness my SIL is sending him off, they are on the phone with all the family and getting it done!!! Praise the Lord. Thanks for the replies I know it sounds as if the kids are not taken care of in this but of course I did not give all the details on this board. Some of you may think "yeah right" but I did not give all the details about the kids. They are definately safe and my husband even said at the beginning "if I have to sit on my porch with a shot gun from now on he will not hurt these kids again with his drinking."
Anyways..thanks again for the replies and Prayers are being answered and he will be going to get help very soon!!!
Thanks for the replies
I got a vacuum yesterday, have been doing research via the internet for a few days as well as asking here. Thanks again!!
Thanks for all the replies....
Thank you to all of you for your replies. I really appreciate your insight on different thoughts to consider, and your experiences with children of your own, as well as the suggestions you made about keeping a food diary to track foods to try to find the culprit. It gives me some different thoughts to entertain as I have been driving myself crazy trying to diagnose the problem myself (even though I know this only makes the test result waiting process worse! lol)
Hopefully, it will be no big deal and he will 'outgrow' it soon or maybe even be put on medication to prevent it or something. In any case, I will keep you posted on the results of the abdominal x-rays. Thanks again for your support! :)
Thanks for replies!
thank you for your replies....
I agree with you both. And yes, I did lose my PTO by going part time. I don't understand how so many MTs can just hop around from company to company. This is truly a hard decision with two hard to get into companies. I guess subconsciously, I am leaning toward sticking with my IC job because that's what I know and am comfortable with. But, I hate to walk away from the other one which actually pays better. I forgot to mention the fact that even with working my IC job only, I will still be working full time hours and I have to stick to a schedule somewhat, but nothing like the employee position. So, is it worth it to work 8 hours without benefits but with the flexibility? Or do I need to buckle down and go where the money is......sigh.....more replies welcome!
Thanks to all for your replies. I - sm
am going to think long and hard on this this weekend. Stability is definitely an important thing. Money can be worked out to be about the same. Flexibility is definitely important. The weights are still leaning more towards the flexibility, just not enough! Thank you all again.
Thanks for both replies
I think I'll give it a shot myself this year. I was thinking I should do what you say, look at last year's and follow along from the accountant's forms. Thanks again. Hey - are you the same Patti going out dancing tomorrow night? If so - hope you have a blast!
Thank you for your replies
Guess will just have to wait until we go live and see.
Thanks! I appreciate the replies. (nm)

Thanks for all the replies, everyone...
I think I am going to prepare myself to go back to teaching, keeping this job until I have a teaching job. I could use the additional insurance benefits as well, since my husband's job provides really awful insurance, and I'd love not to have to work when the kids are on breaks. MT has been a godsend while I was at home with a toddler, but now that the "baby" is in school... This paying later and later is just getting to be too much. My parents won't be around forever to bail us out!
Again, I really appreciate all the responses. You all are great!
Thanks for the replies everyone!
