In Reply to: The Red Cross just HANDED OUT $5 million worth of debit cards in Texas. - Why couldn't FEMA?
And some people have the nerve to say not to donate to the Red Cross because of not being sure of where the donations are going. Shame on FEMA.
Keep those donations rolling. We had some little kids who set up a roadside lemonade stand a few towns away from us and they made $50.00 to send to the Red Cross. Isn't that sweet?
Our local firefighters were out in Wal Mart parking lot holding up their fire gear boots. No signs or anything. We knew what they were doing. Sure I only had a couple of dollars to stuff in a boot, but if every person entering Wal Mart even put in a quarter, it would make a big difference. What really shocked me was the amount of people that just walked by.

do you really think they cross the border on their own?
She's not into cross dressers
You want her to come over so you can borrow her pumps maybe?
I'm in Level Cross, NC

Yep, he is from Level Cross
he lives about 1 1/2 miles from my house. See him at the gas station now and again.
A Cross pen or pen set is always safe. :-)

how to handle -- be sure and dot your I's and cross your t's
First you need to be able to substantiate what you are saying.
you need to know who is signing off the report? Is she??? or is the physician???? or is she signing the report off by another physician???? If she is how is she doing it.
You need to get all your ducks in a row so that you dont go to administration and look like a troublemaker making things up.
Personally I would gather all my proof and turn a copy of it in to adminstration anonymously (make sure that cannot trace it back to you because when the fire starts you dont want to get burned in the aftermath).
If doesnt take care of it take that same info, write a letter explaining what you have witnessed and that you reported to administration but it continues and anonymously submit all of this info to JCAHO.

2 cards - FEMA and Red Cross
They haven't gotten to the FEMA ones, I don't think yet, but the Red Cross ran out of their cards today in Houston at the GRB after people stood in line for about 6 or so hours. They thought there would be rioting. Yeah, we are having a great time here in Texas.
How about counted cross stitch
I've been doing it since I was 16-17 yrs old and it is the one thing I constantly go back to after doing anything else crafty.... just so relaxing
or in lay people's terms, a cross between
No and I didn't and don't cross the eyes....sm
And I do it alone in front of a mirror in the bathroom...*lol* - not a pretty pose, you're right - but it WORKS for TMJ.....*S*
Have a nice day!!!!
Red Cross site having "tech. difficulties."
Now that's a surprise! Everyone keep trying.
Red Cross donations= Research before you donate to ANY NPO
I, for one, will NEVER donate to the Red Cross. Why? My father was NEVER notified his mother died. He never got to attend her funeral or say goodbye. . . He found out after he came home from the service. I could tell you other horror stories, but won't. Sure, I'm bitter, but don't need to be flamed. Would you like to come home and find your mother has been dead and buried and you didn't even know? Think about it.
The Salvation Army is my choice. I KNOW all the money is going to the Katrina Victims. If anyone has a chance, they should look at the statistics on how much money donated really goes to victims of a disaster. The sites escape my memory right now, but they are/should be all online.
Blue Cross only pays $25 towards exam. sm
They have coverage for glasses up to $100 (what progressive trifocals cost under $100?) Of course, my doc does not have the frames that come under the $100 program. Natch
Cross country trip to CALIF and
back. My husband and I took three weeks and drove to California and back through the Southwest. Saw Yellowstone and the Giant Sequoias, Santa Fe, Sedona, etc. We had never been there and it was great just driving with no set plans, stopping along the way whenever and where ever we wanted... such freedom.. My second best was a week and a half to Glacier Falls, Montana, but that's been years and years ago. Heck, any vacation is a great one! My bags are packed and ready anytime!
Ahh, Dr. Quinn... a cross between Little House on the Prairie and ER.

I moved cross country, setting up sm
every night in a different motel, and with no laptop, either. I just used whatever table they provided and setup my total PC system, and got the work done. Not the usual situation, but it worked fine. It sure was not a vacation, though, but a cross country move. Had to stop by dark every night and get some sleep, get up a midnight to work 6 hours, then move on. Made a lot of money, at least as much as usual.
International Red Cross started the aid to the Tsunami victims first.
It was over a week before we could start shipping in aid and a couple weeks before we had the telethon. It's only been 2 days so far. I still believe that when it comes down to human suffering people will respond no matter what country it happens in. It just takes time.
What really angers me is that we're hearing on the news that a major portion of the cost of aid in our OWN country will come from donations of US citizens. Where does our tax money go when we need it the most, with situations like these? Our taxes should be used for the citizens of the United States, and whatever is left over for aid to others, not for subsidizing every other country in the world that our govt. pledges it to.
I have Blue Cross through Webmedx. Office visits are $20. nm

I can find no better place to hide than behind the cross of Christ!

Never heard of Level Cross but nice to "meet" you

I went to the Red Cross to volunteer locally and was told that I needed to apply to the state for a
background check, which will take from 2 weeks to a month to get back. I understand red tape as well as the next person, but is this really necessary? They are asked for people to help load trucks and pack and sort supplies right now, but only from people who are already in "the system." I guess I'll go another route and go to one of the local churches and volunteer, without the red tape.
The Red Cross just HANDED OUT $5 million worth of debit cards in Texas.
FEMA decided to mail them in 14 days if the people knew where they were going to be...couldn't possibly get them out faster...too much work...etc.
Cross stitch kits, square lap looms for crocheted afghans.
Not that I have time.
You can cross-reference generic and brand names and get dosage info at...SM
RXList. I guess buying a drug book every other year wouldn't be a bad idea. When I was a newbie, I used to think I had to buy a new drug book every year until I discovered the wealth of info on the internet and I just write new terms in my books. I know some people like to keep their books pristine, but I make notes in mine all of the time.
Bless you.
Bless you. I am so glad to hear that there are still good people in the world.
Yes! Bless you!
Bless you!
I feel so much better after hearing your trials. Hope all is well now.
God bless all of you.
My finger will heal in time. I feel so small for whining when you are all faced with such bigger challenges. God bless you.
God bless you
My prayers are with you and your daughter. I have a 5-year-old, and I would be a basket case if I had to endure what you are going through.
Bless you!!
No kidding. This has driven me crazy, but I just re-listened to the wav file and you are absolutely on target!!
So.....bless you and all your children, too! (Doing a happy dance)
Just wait til the QA hears this. She really is a sweetheart, have never had one problem with her, and she and I were working on this one together. But, thanks to you......heheh......I'm one up! :)
Bless you!

Bless you
Finally, somebody that agrees with me:)
God bless you!
You are a saint for trying to rescue your mother like that. From your post, it sounds like you have been "rescuing" her all your life. If she is so fragile and you are the only child, you really do have a lot on your shoulders. I had a similar situation with my stepfather when I was younger, but I didn't handle it well either. He and my mother eventually divorced (through no fault of mine). I admire you for being so loyal to your mother. I agree with the way you are handling things in your situation, nobody knows what anyone else's life is like. Just know that you have friends and support on here when you need it. You are a very strong person and I just know that this will turn out right for you. Just thank God that you are 'there' for your mother. You will never regret that.
Bless you all so much!!
I have 2 big tupperware egg plates, so I can get them done and overwith tonight because I think I'm going to have to do all the rest of the food now....geez...it will be all worth it though, it's twins!
Again, thank you all so much!
THANKS! Bless you.

Bless you!
It is sure nice to know that I am not alone! 
Bless you Bless you
I will be starting to use Shorthand. I have seen conflicting answers as to yes you can convert to ShortHand and no you can't. I am not real puter savy. I saw directions, but I would rather start from scratch than attempt what they say to do. This will help very much.
Have a great evening.
Bless you! - nm

Thanks so much

I think eventually we'll all have some crisis like this to deal with. Our business is fairly unstable right now. You are not the only Transcriptionist I know of with work issues right now, either so low they are not working or are facing layoff or worse. I am so sorry! I wish you the very best in the job search.
God bless you
I took care of my mom briefly full time before she died last year and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. At the same time it was a blessing because we got very close - closer than we had been and we had been very close already.
You're not alone in your struggles. You'll make it through and your mom will have an easier transition because of your help.
Bless you!
Time to start dusting off your old resume, it sounds like! I wonder if that's their plan - make all the old-timers quit and then hire in new cheap labor? Maybe they're about to get bought by the Q? Sounds like straight out of the Q-book...
God BLESS your mom and your love and
respect for her. I've been that mom and have only one child, a son, who also knows what I went through to provide him with everything I could inspite of the fact that his now dead father had a portfolio of over 2 million dollars, but hid his assets very successfully. His father would never pay child support or keep up insurance on my son, would bring lawsuits against me from time to time to try to get custody of our son; he even "kidnapped" him one time and did not return him for three months!! My now dead ex knew all these things would make me spend even more money and time away from work to deal with those issues.
However, when our son was with him, he would give our son a minimum of $100.00/day just for whatever he wanted, took off to all places in the world, Israel, France and Spain and once a month they'd go to the Bahamas or Bimini. This was my X's way of trying to undermine our son's love for me. Guess what??? It did NOT work!!!
God bless you Fluffy.
I pray that God's healing energy surrounds Fluffy, that his breathing is stabilized and that he is completely healed. And so it is. God bless.
Bless your heart
I hope you quickly work your way into a better pay range.
Bless your heart...
you replied with Peace out, & I replied with guns-a-blazin'...what the heck did I do, forget that great thread from yesterday 
my bad...*sigh*
Bless your heart ...
Are you getting enough sleep? That's pretty important!
Also, how long are you up before you start typing? Do you eat breakfast? You need a good mix of protein and carbs before you start typing. Perhaps a little exercise..??
On your expander, slow is fine on adding to it. Limit yourself to 5-10 shortcut entries a day. Write them down and keep them posted on your screen until you can use them without looking at the list. Then take that list down and work on another 5-10 shortcuts. They won't do you any good if you cannot remember to use them. When naming shortcuts, do whatever comes to mind first, whatever is natural.
Don't spend too much time on ESLs if you truly cannot understand what is being said. I don't like blanks either but there is a difference in beating your head against a wall over unintelligible gibberish versus doing a quick (3 minutes is my limit) research of meds, instruments, terms, diseases, etc. Don't be your own worst enemy here!
Working efficiently is not a matter of how fast you are, it is how streamlined you think.
God bless you. What a wonderful way
to reach out to others!
Now that is truly the spirit of Christ in Christmas!!
