Glad you thought the suggestions were helpful. :) I know some people probably think we are crazy but unless you are an avid camper you might not realize how much time can be spent just getting ready! Every little time saver you can find makes the trip all the more pleasurable when you don't end up exhausted just getting ready to go. :D

Glad to hear you all had a good time. :)

Glad you had a good time. We just hung around the house.
All the time! Glad I'm not the only one!!!
Glad I cherished my children's time
at home. They are grown now, have children of their own. Seems they were here for a few minutes, then grew and gone. Just dearly miss those little boys coming home from school, excited with news of the day, and all the bumps and bruises, bugs they would catch, their funny little stories, little nuances, and they were so humerous and made me laugh and joked around in their teenage years. Am so glad I had those days, but would dearly love to have my children home on vacation. Just wish parents would choose to ENJOY their children instead feeling that they are in the way. In the way of what? Working? Goodness gracious, got a lot to learn. I agree with the poster who said that children feel what you think they do not, and it will hurt them, and you, in the years to come.
Glad I'm not the only pokey one. I have a terrible time trying to reach 150 lph.

Sounds like the Marines at your house! I'm really glad you "schedule" some quality time wi
your kids! I think you are way harsh with your 15-year-old stepdaughter. What's wrong with helping with homework? Not giving her the answers, but sitting with her and explaining things? I help my 14-year-old with his homework and I check everything he does for errors. If he makes mistakes, I sit down with him and explained what he did and have him do it over.
As fars as my kids getting up on their own - my kindergartener gets up without the aid of an alarm clock because she is an early riser, but my teenager has to be gotten up and personally I don't see what is wrong with that. They are TEENAGERS!
My kids have chores and earn an allowance each week. They must keep their rooms clean. My son takes out the garbage, cleans the bathroom, and helps me do the dishes. My daughter takes turns helping me do the dishes and sweeps the kitchen floor and feeds the animals.
My kids are spoiled, but what's the point in being a working mom if you can't spoil your kids every now and then?
Good for you! Glad you said your husband! That was really nice!

I am so glad to hear you talk about VR in a good light
I have a jewel of a platform and you can make a decent salary. It is not garbage and like you said, the people here complaining are ones who do not have a good system. You have to be fast in scanning and hearing. If you are a slow typist to begin with, I have no idea how this would play into a person who does really good with VR. I do not fit that category and the people I have know that did VR did not either.
Glad I was able to help....I just keep thinking about my inspiration (friend from gym). Good luck!!

So glad to hear your good news!!!! Eat a candy bar anyway :-) no message

Thanks everyone for the kind responses. I'm glad I posted. I have gotten some good leads.
And some good advice. Feeling better already!!
Especially for Iowa, that is pretty good. UI can get good over time, but that's because of the u
I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

That is a good time, probably take me 10-12 or - sm
maybe longer. Granted if they are easy I can easily do 15 minutes in one hour (or more, 24 minutes is the most I have done in 1 hour), but when you get tired, bored, etc, it seems to take a lot longer. I'd say you are right on target.
Ooh, that sounds good. What time should I be there?
We're probably having leftovers. Tacos, sloppy joes, potato ham soup, and kielbasa.
LOL, 4th time huh. Well, uh, good luck with that huh!!!! LOL. nm

I use this one all the time, good for all states.

This is a good time of year to buy.
There are usually good sales in the week before Christmas when retailers are hoping to improve their bottom line. Also, if you wait until January, you may find good bargains from those trying to move stock during a slow time. Personally, I like my Dell. I've had three of them now and really have not had any problems. You can now get them at Staples, too.
The religion issue came at a good time. sm
My daughter is 10.
We're in the car and she wanted to call her friend Jessica on the cell phone. She said, "It's after 2:00, so they're already home from church."
Then she says, "You know, mama, I don't mind going to church with them, but I hate going up and eating that yucky bread."
I said, "They had you go up for communion?" and she said, "I think that's what it is. The guy in the robes puts a yucky cracker thingy in your mouth, but they call it bread for some reason."
So I said, "You don't have to go up and take communion, you're not Catholic. I could talk to Jessica's parents and tell them that you aren't a Catholic and you shouldn't go up and take communion."
She said, She said, "Well, I'd feel stupid just sitting there when everyone else went up. I'm not going to go someplace bad if I do the Catholic thing and I'm not really a Catholic am I?"
I said, "Of course not. You just don't have to that's all."
She said, "It's okay, I don't really mind it that much." After a few minutes she said: "Hey wait a minute, we're not JEWISH ARE WE?!!!"
Another half hour on the different faiths and beliefs and the fact that it doesn't matter what you choose, but that it is a private, personal choice, and that one should never try to convince another person that their way of thinking is the "right" way.
She thought it wasn't a good thing not to have a Christmas tree, but then thought that Hannukah was "really cool" because the kids didn't have to wait to open a present. Then she said, "Well, we could light a candle every night for the Jewish kids because they don't have a Christmas tree and then maybe we could just open a present."
I said, "Nice try kiddo."
Out of the mouths of babes!
Whatever, then may you all have a good time in your pool of name calling. (nm)

This was good. There is no time for tears, arguments when you are
I'd throw him out, change the locks, he'll figure out what to do.
Don't look back.
Hey! I'm having a good time. Jade East
men's cologne? Anyone remember that? I remember buying my first boyfriend some for Christmas (1966). The bottle was a special edition, shaped like a pagoda!
A good expander pays for itself in no time at all.
Word files corrupt too easily so be sure to keep a backup for when you've lost all your shortcuts.
Also remember that you can only use autotext in Word and you're working "harder not smarter." JMHO.
Very good ideas! Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you for taking the time to post this good advice. NM

Oh, goodness! Soak him in the tub for a good long time.
Try a little dish soap on it. I wouldn't advise any harsh chemicals because you don't want to risk a rash or anything. Tomorrow's picture day here, too. My kid decided to rub his blue ink hand stamp on the center of his forehead instead of leaving it on his hand. The teacher stamps their hands with an ink picture stamp every day if they're good. A sticker would be better because my son always has ink on his hands and face now. Lots of soap, then maybe cover it with makeup? Oh, goodness. My cheeks hurt from laughing at this one.

You people are having a real good time condemning me....
Don't you know that you can DEACTIVATE your current OS when you upgrade to the next level? Obviously not. But then, most people here don't seem to be all that computer literate. I asked a couple of computer questions below which got absolutely NO answer.
Don't go jumping to conclusions that someone is a "scammer" and "ruining it for everyone else" until you do your homework.
Good things take time. (this is addressed to OP, BTW) My first 15 years or sm
so of MT was without the benefit of using an expander. When Expanders became the norm, I was reluctant to try, thinking that it would be more cumbersome than by not using it at all. Was I surprised and pleased I had ventured into the Expander world.
Since you're at home you can add entries on your free time, even if you do 5 or 10 at a time, when there is no pressure on you. Start out with expanders for "the patient," "-year-old," the names of your doctors, anything that is repetitious. You will be surprised how much time this will save you. My initial expander, PRD, actually calculated saved Keystrokes and productivity. Back then I was saving 30%!
The expander is especially helpful for those crazy terms that are hyphenated or have camel caps, those that I always had to look up to check myself. Create your brief form by just using straight lowercase, for instance, duoneb for Duo-Neb (or d-n).
Speed will come, don't worry. Good luck to you!
(Posted in the wrong place--I always do that!) This is in response to OP.
I'm having a hart time lately staying motivated and getting a good count,

I work for a national. Most of the time the voices are pretty good, but
I have been getting some of late that have background noices, door slamming, people talking, Sometimes the doc will stop talking but the noices sound so close to him that it is annoying. Do you think the sound card would interfere with my company's computer? It sounds nice to have even though it does not help the background stuff. I guess that is a good question for tech. Thanks again!
Any suggestions for a good MT for part time other than MQ as far as a nice company to work for. I
think it is time for a change about now.
Fill in the blank time! Today I feel ______ (for me it's good)...sm
Good work day so far, kids will be home from school in a couple of hours and the weather is nice outside.
Agree! I hate Daylight Savings Time. It takes me a good two weeks
to get myself and everybody in the household adjusted to the time change every six months. If the farmers need to get up earlier, let 'em! That doesn't mean I should have to, also! DST has definitely outlived its usefulness. I stay up later and get up earlier in the summer, but go to bed earlier and sleep later in the winter. It's like my mind and body are tied to the sun, not the clock. I never got an extra hour of sleep last night anyways because the neighbor's stupid dog barked from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
I spend a good deal of time tweaking the ones in there so ummm, may give it a shot lol

Glad I could help and glad you got your setup going. nm

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
That is a good offer. Pay is not that good at UIMC. Good luck! nm

Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

be glad to.
