Here I sat feeling so incredibly lonely. Wishing I could meet my soul mate
All the men I have ended up with sound like the guy you are with. Takes all the courage I have to pick up and leave them but staying with them destroys my sense of self esteem, my sense of humor, and dulls my passion for life.
Now, sitting here, quietly, sipping a capuccino, sitting in a robe, having no expectations (unrealistic) of me, not having the guy in my world stifling me or doing something out of this world to send my spiraling into my mind trying to figure out what he is thinking ...orrr the always present poor financial state that I always seemed to end up in when with a guy (my dad was alcoholic - had tendency to be with men who had character traits of addictive personality types)and all I can think of is life is passing me by cause I am not with a man.
There are worst things than being alone. Why do I forget this???
Follow your gut. Your kids will thank you. Children deserve a happy mom and you deserve to live the life you envision.
Was going to suggest that you wait to buy as I have a feeling some homes will end up in foreclosure as the interest rate increases and the monthly payments on ARMs and interest only loans increase, but if you have a small town that may not be the case.
Let us know how things go.
If you meet guideline, you are IC. Taxman has guidelines for what is IC in your state.

MEET ON DIET BOARD???!!!
This is excited to hear so many on and starting out with this diet. I am starting a thread on the diet board so we can keep track of progress!!! This will be great support!!!
Pot, meet kettle. Your posts are all over the board. sm
...just because they are responding, and probably not even as vocal as you've been on here. That just reduces any point you were trying to make to shreds, sounding juvenile and defensive instead of engaging in reasonable debate -- but worst of all, acting like you are superior and somehow smarter than all the rest of us when most of us have known all about this big "news flash" of yours for years now. You say you wouldn't hate others for what they believe in, but when someone spoke up saying they like ASR, you insulted her by saying she must not have been a fast typist then. ASR isn't going away, no matter how many people quit MQ citing that as a reason. Many times, it's not even the MTSOs who sell doctors on ASR - there are companies out there courting the doctors, pumping them up with sales talk about how great it is and how much time/money they'll save. THOSE are the ones the rest of us are aiming at, and wisely so. Think about it, do you think the MTSOs like it when clients go to ASR and lower the rate they are paying the MTSO?? If the MTSO also sells the equipment, maybe. Otherwise, doubtful. It's new technology and MTs must adapt for now, as chances are good it will flame and then fizzle out. MANY, many doctors have already tried it years back, hated it, and returned to traditional dictation. As you've been told, this is NOT a new development so it's not that people don't care; they just aren't as urgently impressed by the rants since it's old news. It lurked on the horizon for a long time before it ever actually hit the shelves and a lot of us researched it prior to it actually being utilized.
Yes, there are plenty of issues that are pulling MTs everywhere down. Offshoring is one of them. Has been for years. ASR/VR is one of them. Has been for YEARS. Maybe this is news to you, but again, most of us have known about these things and been proactive about/against them for YEARS by not accepting lower rates and not offshoring or working for companies that do.
I will reiterate, though, that one of the biggest issues dragging MTs through the mud is something that is perfectly fixable - the BEHAVIOR of some MTs. Unprofessional, juvenile behavior is not considered a desirable quality in any employee. Lack of work ethic and false sense of entitlement are two more traits that are not desirable in an employee. Someone who has only been in the business for a few years but thinks they know more than MTs who worked on manual typewriters is yet another undesirable. MTSOs read this board all the time and take note of these things, and when certain names come up on resumes, they go immediately to the circular file, if you know the flavor of THAT Kool-Aid.

Which state board?

state board
I check out the state board from time to time. Anyone from Mississippi. I know most of the acute care facilities that used MQ. I notice that one of the hospitals is advertising for two inhouse transcriptionists. (RiverOaks/RiverOaks East). Any feedback.
I tried posting on State Board, but is anyone else from TN?
I said every state has a licensing board. lol
Every state has a medical society. lol
Any MTs from Georgia, please see state board. nm

Lower NY state near Po'k. Not many easterners here or the other board at all. nm

You could try your State Boards board at this site ...
and ask if anybody in your area knows the scoop, assuming you don't mind mentioning the name of the hospital. Or you could give its initials I suppose.

Check with your state's Labor Board on #2
.
The State Board is no longer active - nm
What? State board? This board?
My suggestion is to call the Labor Board for your state. SM
If you are working in a hospital and you have to physically be there, I think the law states they must pay you an hourly wage. I think they're trying to screw the MTs.
Any CAL GALS want to post on the state board for chatting?
Thought we could find out what town each from and the goings-on there. Good Idea? Retta the Rascal
Get in touch with your State's LABOR BOARD. Years ago I got stiffed....(s/m)
out of one paycheck (that bounced), plus the employer had been lying to me for almost a year about my health insurance! (Was taking $$ out of my paycheck to pay for insurance, but instead kept it for herself.) I went to the Labor Board, paid a very nominal fee to file, and all I had to do was write down what happened, and that I wanted my money that I'd earned, plus what I'd paid for "insurance." Not only was I paid (fairly promptly, too!), but they went into that office and tore it apart, finding many more labor infractions. Business was shut down, and I believe she did some time in jail. Even if I hadn't gotten a time, that alone would've been worth the filing fee!
RE: Lonely - sm
My last baby is also headed off to college this fall - and I know the feeling. I'm not single but my husband drives truck and is gone all week so I will be here alone. I also just had to have my 16yo Springer put down. Thank goodness I have the two cats! Post your e-mail and maybe we can talk back and forth about it.
feeling lonely
My last "baby" is headed off to college shortly. Not only will I have an empty nest, but I am single and feeling a little scared about being alone. Just wondering if any of you have gone through this, and what it's like to find yourself alone - do you get used to it rather quickly or what?  I feel like such a big baby !
Does it get lonely in your special little world?
Did I tell you I won the lottery and won $3567 million?
Yes, rather be lonely and happy then with a guy and unhappy
Thank you for post. I was so much happier when I had my 3 years of single life after my divorce and before I met him. My daughter and I were on our own, I had life by the horns. I didn't have much, but was so DARN happy and CONTENT. Funny how life works.
The mortgage I am looking at for lender #1 is WHEDA 5.375 interest, 30 year fixed. #2 is anywhere from 6 to 6.25 I have been told, 30 year fixed. The problem with the place is the real estate taxes are very high.
I will keep board posted. I am sure I will have my moments. 
maybe neighbor was lonely and wanted someone to have coffee with...nm

I have finished my MT course and I am waiting for my results, hopefully this week. I live near Glens Falls, New York, and was wondering if there was anyone here who was from my area. I would love to hear from anyone in the vicinity. Elsie
My New York relatives used to rag on me:
and say when I visited, "She's from Massatoothetts where they thay 'Pahk the cah in Havaad Yaad.' " (Note: My relatives have no teeth, hence the lisp.)

Stephanie from PA: I've been to York sm
to the H-D assembly plant a few years ago. Loved the area there and the proud people working for H-D. So sad to see the demise of the jobs in the PA steel mills and the loss of jobs in the American auto industry to foreign manufacturers. Very sad, indeed. I come from a manufacturing area, now virtually ghost towns with just service jobs left.

Sent It to New York Times and Associated Press
Send this or your own letter. Let us know if anyone gets a response.
No way, in New York or CA you can't live on $11.50 an hour.
I understand your message and get what you are saying; however, it is literally impossible to live on $11.50 an hour in those two states, and probably a few others. You can't even get a 1 bedroom studio apartment for less than $1500 a month, not including utilities, then food, clothing, and other bills. Sorry, can't do it.
Hi Ella! I'm from New York City
I grew up in NYC.. multicultural, diverse, many different neighborhoods. I love NYC . Rude New Yorkers are a stereotype. All kinds of people here. Visit it sometime.
Love your posts, though... ths is an MT board - active, retired, former, and anyone who's thinking about becoming one.
Does anyone know anything about the Greenwood Lake area of New York?

Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.
I'm in upstate New York, haven't had a problem. Mine is hvc. Where are you?

Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.
Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect. I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it.
Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it. If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
Contact your local BBB in your state and in their state if different from yours.

Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
Certainly you should have to meet your
But as the MTSO it is not your business to know what I am doing with my time unless I am not meeting the deadline. I have a deadline to meet with all of my clients, but I certainly do not report to my clients my daily goings on in my life as it is none of their business. As an independent contractor, the MTSO cannot set my hours. Punching a time clock is for employees not independent contractors.
How many here would like to meet?
Let's start with a few southern places and see how many would actually meet in spring next year:
1) Memphis, Tennessee
2) St. Louis, Missouri
3) Kansas City, Missouri
4) Atlanta, Georgia
5) Dallas, Texas
Anyone interested in getting a group in for 2-3 days in any of those places next spring?
It might help if several of you set up a day and time and meet there.
