29-y/o female w/2 kids
Im an IC with 7-different offices. Yes, I stay pretty busy
45 and female with 3 kids, 2 in college...
xx
Bless your heart. I had to sign my kids
up for an angel tree, too. Always remember, This Too Shall Pass. God Bless and may you have a wonderful 2006!!
46 yo single white female with 2 kids....9 and 15. nm
39yo female, married, 3 kids, MT for 20 years. NM

kids bad under granny's watch
I did just about the same when my dear ol Aunt watched us for 3 days..she could NOT see w/o her glasses and once the hearing aid was out...well, had a party the first night and aunti thought all the kids were girls lol..so there is a first for everything..
That said, one wonders since your hubby see's no wrong/harm done, just what she allowed him to get away with while growing up
My husband was unwilling to watch the kids BUT he did it - sm
he was more scared though (baby under 2 at the time). I went to 1 class a week at night. He lived. He still did not take an active part in helping with the kids (since I did not "work" and he did) until we had another child. Then he really had no choice and my 1st daughter learned she had a dad too. Now they are both total daddy's girls and he takes care of them more than I do now.....though I really don't get much time to myself. But at least he is there for me when I need it. Your hubby needs to get his head out of his ___ and help too. You are working too, or did your paycheck slip his notice? I still have a little trouble with that crap (since I don't leave the house) but he would not be happy not to have it, or have his kids in afterschool care so I could work elsewhere.
Cannot remember name of a movie and want to have my kids watch it.
Hopefully somebody out there can help me out on this one. I watched this moving about 4 or 5 years ago, I believe it was even a Sundance Film Festival Movie, but not sure. It is about 2 families, 1 Irish Catholic family with several kids and one particular curious 10 year old boy and Jewish family with only 1 child who is 10 and the 2 boys become friends. The whole point of the movie is their different religions and the 2 boys trying to figure out if their religions are so different why is the outcome for both getting to heaven. The 2 boys end up doing all kinds of "challenges" and what not through the movie to ensure their place in heaven while also trying to sort out why their families are so different and against them playing with each other. In the end, I believe the Jewish boy ends up getting sick and dying and the 2 families end up being brought together by this and also brought together by the donation of the Jewish parish to the eldest boy in the Catholic family so he can go to college (which of course the Catholic father is against at first because of pride).
I think that is how the movie goes but I only saw it once. The reason I want to show my kids is because they are 9 and 10 and all of a sudden becoming facinated with why people have different religions and beliefs and how some of their piers "don't like some kids" because of their religion, etc. This movie was a good example of how we are all the same no matter what we believe and I want my girls to know that and to know that they should not judge somebody by their beliefs and I want them to know that we ALL can teach each other something new no matter what our backgrounds are or how we were raised or even how old we are. Can somebody help me with this movie title? It would be greatly appreciated.
My kids play in a church basketball league and I am going to watch their games today.
I am going to whip up a fabulous dinner (have no idea what though) and watch a movie later tonight with the family. Church tomorrow!
Would love to make time for an eyebrow wax and pedicure in there somewhere just to spoil myself a little bit - probably not going to happen though!
LOVE ER!!! I watch the re-runs every day, and watch the new ones on Thursday night!!

I think you need to see it differently ...
FIRST, we do not KNOW for sure the new MQ plan; it may be just be for particular offices at that.
Secondly, IF (big IF here) it is as some suggested based on 98% QA score and less than 15% of your work going to QA ... remember, this:
---that 98% is ONLY on the handful of reports chosen for actual QA'ing of your work;
---15% of your total work going to QA because of blanks is a LOT of your work; something is wrong if you are sending 15% of your work to QA for blanks and you need more training.
IF (again, big IF) the plan is designed the way one poster seems to think it is and everyone now ASSUMES it is ... you will still get paid if you don't meet this criteria -- you just won't qualify for production incentives.
The whole point is to REWARD those who have high skill and production in hand.
Not everyone will qualify. That is NOT just at MQ but at ANY place where there is a standard. Not everyone makes the cut.
Everyone CAN make that cut, though in varying degrees, by making a dedicated effort and commitment to improving their quality, learning ESLs better, learning to use tools/techniques for increasing their production, and mainly by letting go of this attitude that the company is out to get you.
Panic attacks. Please sm.
I used to suffer from these on a daily basis. According to my doc at that time, they are usually brought on by a conscious or even subconscious stressor.
First thing? Be sure it was a panic attack and not something else. Yes, see a doc. I know others will disagree, and that's fine, but you asked and that is my 2 cents. No one.....not even the docs.....can diagnose over the phone or via internet.
The first rule is to make sure there is nothing physically causing this.
PERSONAL ATTACKS (SM)
Cut it out with the personal attacks. If you don't like the subject matter, skip it. Banning is the next step. I'm tired of deleting unnecessary, ugly posts.

Why the disbelief and attacks? sm
Seems to me that those who find it simply unbelieveable and offensive that an MT can have an above average IQ and still choose to do this type of work insult the profession and those who choose to be transcriptionists.
I've experienced this same knee-jerk reaction (heavy on the JERK part) in the real world, too. Usually, it stems from nothing more than jealousy on the part of those who would LOVE to be able to "brag" that they have an above average IQ.
No, you just make YOUR attacks and then say
x
I see things a little differently
>>>People want me banned because they don't like my point of view. That is childish. They want me banned because they attack me and get upset when I say something back. That is childish. If they don't like what I am saying, don't read my posts and don't respond to me.
If you're writing in a manner which is provoking  in people, then I would say the problem lies with you. Perhaps you are expressing yourself in a confrontational manner?
As far as "don't read my posts and don't respond to me," that's like telling people to stop rubber necking on the highway.
When time permits, I'll look at some of your posts and see what the shindig is all about. Later.
Sorry - but I think you could have handled it differently
I am assuming you are an IC - which means who you work WITH is your biz and no one else's - and no one's business if you took on a second contract. An IC works for who she wants when she wants and within reason sets her own deadlines. A company understands this and does not give you a 2 hour TAT unless you request it or can handle it and you have an understanding with them
I guess I think differently.
If you really want this job, I think I would low ball it with a clause that says when his business picks up and you get more work that you will raise your rates.
If you are getting in on the beginning of this company, there will be room for advancement. You might want to discuss with him that aspect, whether it be an office manager or supervisor, etc. In that case, he might be offering benefits.
panic attacks since 1997
Doctors are a waste. You'll go thru dozens w/no outcome. What is necessary is this: Find the stressor(s) and eliminate. Minimize your life. Al-Anon or other group meetings are highly effective: Need new lifestyle/change in thinking, deal w/wreckage of past, deal with fears, obsessive thinking. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST AND FOREMOST. Hope this helped.
Chill. Personal attacks are not necessary. sm
I asked some thoughtful questions and you are questioning my right to be an MT. You don't know me. My work is excellent and I have many years of experience. If you don't want to answer a question, don't get personal. It isn't necessary.
We have had a couple pitbull attacks here - sm
on the west side of Richmond, however these were people attacks, both of which died. Both attacks were in the last 2 years or so. The owners in both cases were charged and both went to trial and were found guilty, manslaughter, I believe, were the charges. Pitbulls can be good dogs if brought up right, many get them to fight, etc. or do not train them so they are unmanageable, etc. though I would not have one around with children, you cannot be too safe. I am very sorry for your loss. I hope animal control is able to catch these dogs and get them destroyed. It will probably take a court order though, etc. Lots of legalities to wade through in this sort of thing so I hope it comes out in your favor so you get some satisfaction for your loss.
worst have been female, however, BEST have been female also.nm

I handle it differently I guess ...
One thing I have done is designate an amount of money I will spend on me (be it travel, clothes, makeup, cologne, entertainment, etc.). I worked that figure into my budget. It is part of what I earn on a regular basis so I don't have to worry about doing what you described.
I used to do that. It got really old really fast. I felt I was overworked all the time (not that I don't feel really stretched sometimes now but it is a rare occasion and it always has to do with something other than work when I do). Seemed like I was never going to "have enough" to go on vacation without killing myself.
Okay, I'll say this differently this time
flaming face - to me, denoting hostility, then complains essentially that all the people who make less than nice comments should go somewhere else. My point was that the original post seemed to be contradictory, starting off with a hostile style of emoticon, then wanting everyone to just get along.
I hope my point is more clear.
Every company calculates differently.

those are set by the client but can be set differently per typist.
you can call them and ask them to set it. 0 being no backup, and up.
Stedman's is organized a bit differently sm
and that is probably why I didn't like Tessier's at all. I have other word books besides Stedman's and I don't like them either! The only thing I like as well would be the MPI and I hardly ever use mine now.
In all fairness, I probably Google more than I do anything. If I am looking for a ronguer or scissors or suture or needle, I use the M&S word book to find that. If I am looking up a new drug-eluting stent, I google, BUT I can make what I am looking for so specific that I find less than 100 sites for most things. I don't ever file through pages of it because that is useless too.
I dunno...only ever do OPs, have for a long time and it is to the point where I rarely have to search for anything. Despite my advanced age, my near photographic memory is still highly functional. I thought that would be the first thing to go, but it wasn't. In other ways, my brain is a junkyard. I can remember a piece of equipment I transcribed only once 4 years ago, but I can't remember where I put my purse or keys!
I'm thinking somewhat differently. But good for you for SM
taking action. Since I don't believe fighting the Information Age is a good strategy (sort of like hunters-and-gatherers laughing at people sticking roots in the ground, to my mind) I'm signing up for classes to broaden my skills. I'm also looking into reactiving my appraiser's license (in case of future need. I appraised lots of foreclosures in the Reagan era and would definitely prefer to pass now).
Back to the healthcare industry, I would ask you, how does having IT performed on this continent fit into improving the delivery of good affordable healthcare to all of us? What has to be done so that this does serve that purpose? How do we fit into it? Best wishes for sure.
Stop with the vicious personal attacks. (SM)
Control the inflammatory remarks. This is not your own personal war zone. Take your confrontations elsewhere.
Different types of errors are weighted differently ...
so more serious errors count more, less serious count less. I have 8 reports a month QA'd. My QA person listens to the dictation while reading my transcribed report and marks errors and classifies each error. The total is weighted on a percentage.
Last month on my 8 QA'd reports, I had only 1 error and it was a style format error (I used a "dash" as the physician dictated but the BOS2 says to use 2 dashes if dashes are being used and BOS2 prefers using semi-colons). That was the only error of any kind I had and it was not serious. My monthly QA score (because of how this type of error was weighted) was 99.9%. I have had a few times of 100% but I have never had below 99%. My QA person gives me a full explanation of why it is an error and sometimes marks information that is not counted against me but is given as "information only". Noncritical errors are only counted once in a document and critical errors are counted as often as you have them (ex: if you used perineal instead of peroneal --that is a critical error).
not true. Crux is, she is being treated differently than others
No, as I said both times same context but qa'ed differently.

Do you think pc attacks only occur at night? They are looking for open pc all the time.

Terrorist attacks in Mumbai/financial districts.
Like this story? Share it with Yahoo! Buzz
There now are reports of as many as 80 people dead -- a number that is likely to rise -- in apparent terror attacks aimed at tourists and travelers in Mumbai, India.
![Oberoi_fire](http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/images/2008/11/26/oberoi_fire.jpg" "Oberoi_fire") Reuters is reporting that at least 250 people have been wounded in the attacks, which appear targeted at tourists. In addition, Indian television is reporting Westerners are being held hostage at at least two hotels. News networks and wire services are reporting there have been at least seven separate attacks in the city, largely at luxury hotels and restaurants.
"I heard some gunshots around 9:30. I was with my friends. Something hit me. I ran away and fell on the road. Then somebody picked me up. I have injuries below my shoulder," Reuters reporter Sourav Mishra said from a hospital bed, Reuters reported.
The Times of India reports there have been eight separate attacks, including a major terror strike at a large passenger railway station.
Our coverage is here.
(Television broadcast capture of a fire at the Oberoi hotel in Mumbia courtesy NDTV, via AP)
Update at 3:57 p.m. ET: According to the AP, gunmen are known to have attacked a major train station, a well-known restaurant, two luxury hotels and a police station. A previously unknown group calling itself "Deccan Mujahideen" has sent e-mail to news organizations claiming responsibility for the attacks, the Times of India is reporting. The AP now lists the death toll at 78. There are multiple reports that attacks are continuing.
I feel differently about the whole anti-Wal-Mart thing...
If you don't like them, don't shop there. If enough people don't like them, they'll eventually wither away. If the little mom and pop stores didn't charge so much, people wouldn't go to the big department stores instead. It's called competition and capitalism, neither of which are illegal. At one time there was an uproar over supermarkets? Are you still shopping for your bread at the bakery, your meat at the butcher, and your fresh produce at the vegetable man store? No, of course not, you go to the supermarket without any sorrow in your heart for the little grocer who was put out of business decades ago.
Every version of Word seems to do auto numbering differently. sm
The last two versions have a number list style that will keep numbers at the left margin and do the hanging indent automatically. Alt-Shift-left arrow will take your list back to the left margin if you don't use the style but want to use automatic numbering.
I agree.. I would be working from home even if I didn't have anxiety attacks!
Thanks for sharing!
If you think attacks only occur at night, better tell the folks on the other side of the world, they
:p
Starting personal attacks always expose the loser:.to your information,
because I find it faster my way, ONLINE.
You are using bookd, the old-fashioned way?
Expensive and much too slow.
I checked the yesterday'a and today's questions in the afternoon and found - as already said - only 1 somehow unjustifiable question.
To check 1 day would have been enough.
I research ONLINE
with fast and accurate results. The internet is literally swamped with resources and references and is the fastest way. You should try it.
Are you still looking into books? Way too slow.
So, do not blow this out of proportion.
If you have the urge to teach and to guide, open your own MT school and give your advice there.
I live in the Kansas City area and this summer we have had a rash of pit bull attacks especially
in the Independence, MO area. The city governments have passed laws banning pit bulls and last week something like 100+ pitbulls were picked up by animal control or dropped off at the city pound and all were destroyed.
Personally, I think the owners of these animals should be held just as accountable as the dog. Well, I guess maybe putting the owner to sleep is a bit extreme.
I'm so sorry about your lab.
Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!! You know exactly what you said. You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed! You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT. Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you. Why have kids at all? Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked! Give me a break! Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT. Your own words showed your heart. Period.
Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.
I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.
So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.
Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.
I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary. How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu
call her by her first name. The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away.
I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated. Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie. :-)
But, as someone pointed out, to each his own. If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that. I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks." 
Please do not simply give up, kids or no kids!
Talk with a professional. This can be worked through if he really puts forth the effort and you participate. The right counseling can truly make your marriage even better than it was before, if BOTH parties are willing to be honest. Give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain!
My heart goes out to you...
I know how painful this is...had to do the same with my 12-year-old Cocker Spaniel two years ago, and I still miss his presence so very much! Your little sweetie will always live on in your heart, though, and I truly believe that one day you'll be reunited at the Rainbow Bridge. As 'gh' posted, if you haven't yet, please visit Rainbowbridge.org...it's a wonderful site & has one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read.
Please accept a big ((((HUG)))) & my deepest sympathy.
keep him in your heart
Just wanted to tell you what you probably already know, the pain will get less and less with time. Keep your dad's picture nearby and talk to him when you feel the need. I do it sometimes and my dad died 31 years ago. I believe your voice will be heard and your heart will be comforted.
My heart goes out to you ... sm
I have two 13-year-old lab/collie/chow mixes, Sasha and Keesha. They are sisters, but from different litters. I will be facing the inevitable decision of putting them down before too long. They both have severe arthritis - one in the hind legs, and the other in the shoulder area. I give them medicines for it and lots of TLC, but time is taking a toll on them. They sleep a lot and stay inside in the AC when it is hot outside, and out of the cold weather in the winter as well. They really are my "kids" and I know they have been the greatest children I could ever have. They still greet me with wags and kisses every day. I know I'll miss that when their time comes.
As much as it hurts to have to make this decision, you have loved your dear one with the highest form of love you can give. God bless you and help you through your loss each day. It will get better with time. And, when you are ready, God may bless you with another sweet pet to love. No, it won't be the same, and you'll always think of the ones no longer here, but know that you loved your pet enough to not let her suffer needlessly. That is the truest form of love we can give. You were there for her and did not abandon her. When I think of the decisions ahead of me with my "kids", I know that is what will enable me to love and take care of them one final time. They will always be in our hearts.
God bless you and give you sweet memories.
My heart goes out to you
You and your husband both sound like wonderful people but he has an unfortunate illness that only adds to the real problem I am sure. Some people do not truly understand mental illness that it truly is an illness and the person that has it is not to be blamed as they do not have control over it.
I have had a lot of issues in my life over the years and have learned not to so quickly judge anyone. I always feel what goes around comes around too and I have seen that happen many times in my life.
I don't have much advice (but you seemed to have gotten quite a bit here which I hope you find some helpful) as I have not walked in your shoes. You sound so torn.
I certainly will pray for your and your family. Do you have a pastor or one that you could contact that you both could possibly talk with? Having an impartial third person educated in counseling may be of great benefit.
Wishing you only the very best. Please do keep us posted.
