I have tried green tea on 2 separate occasions and both times experienced what appears to be bloody stools with it.  As soon as I stop the intake of the tea, the blood goes away.  I really like the tea as it does a good job of promoting energy and weight loss, but I cannot understand why it causes this reaction.  Would anyone have any idea why this happens?  Is there another natural energy booster I can try?  Thanks for any and all help. 

Which ones are you gals/guys transcribing that you are able to do 200-300/hour?  I have condensed it down to ops and maybe radiology.  What are the most awesome expansion accounts in your opinion-copy and paste if you will!! 

Is there anybody transcribing this amount of lines on acute or multi specialty?  Specialty, a single specialty, I could believe.  Ops I can believe.  Haven't done rad so don't know.  What are the best "COPY AND PASTE" situations you know of? 

only Rodney Green I know is a singer/drummer/performer

him, Carol and Doug.  One thing that got to me though, why didn't Carol and Doug show up for his funeral????  The newer episodes just don't have the same uumph - I stick to the reruns on TNT. 

There was an intial $4.50 charge when I first got the card.  They waive the monthly fee if you deposit more than $1000 a month on it which I do because I have my pay check direct deposited to it.  The only fees I pay now are ATM fees when withdrawing money.  You can reload at Wal-Mart as well, but if you are loading cash, they will charge you a fee.  However, it is a payroll check, income tax check, basically any computer generated check (not handwritten) you can load it on your card at Wal-Mart for nothing -- no fees.

I started using the prepaid card through Wal-Mart a year ago or so because I couldn't open a checking account thanks to my ex screwing up a joint account we had when married and never taking care of the negative balance as he agreed.  I got tired of always running to the bank to get cash out of my savings account to go to the store and buy groceries, not to mention my bank only allowed 3 withdrawals a quarter from a savings account and then they start charging fees.  Getting the prepaid card is awesome.  I pay bills with it, use at Wal-Mart and the grocery stores with very little fees.  Plus you download a direct deposit form off the green-dot website to give to your employer for direct deposit.  It has all the routing info preprinted on it.  I've never had a problem.

hydrangea sculptured border, olive green curtains I designed and made, 2 office chairs to give the ol' back a break, desk placed just so in order to be able to look out 2 different windows, 1-3 cats who come and stay as they please, and 1 little dog who never leaves the office unless I do.  There are also the necessary things like a bookcase, printer, backup computer, nik-nacks and paddy wacks.

I am so completely blessed cause I have all this AND get paid!  Who wouda thunk??

or can just use clear ones if you can't find green.  I got a red bottle of stained glass paint that they sell just about anywhere they sell crafts (even Wal-Mart) and got one of the plastic boards that you use the paint with.  I made green jello and put in the cups and then took marschiano cherries and punched down in the jello against the front of the cup for eyes.  I made scars on the board with the paint and after they dried I pulled them off and put them on the cups.  This stuff makes like a static cling thing.  I then crushed plain chocolate cookies and put on top of the jello and this creates a Frankenstein.   Smaller kids are probably the only ones who would appreciate this.  It was fairly easy, though depending on the # of kids takes lots of jello. 

Something else I did for a decoration - take a picnic table and turn it on end longways.  Take a green plastic tablecloth and cover the table.  Cut black plastic for hair and attach to the top of the table, either on top of the green cloth or just above it if your cloth isn't long enough.  Take aluminum pie pans and then take a styrofoam ball and paint it and attach to the pans and attach for eyes.   Use the above board and paint and make some really big scars and then attach those.  Get some of those popcorn buckets from the movies, or sometimes you can find them in the stores, cover with aluminum foil and attach to the table on each side for the bolts.  If it will be dark you can add glow-in-the-dark paint to the eyes and use a black light.  

I did this a couple of years ago and everyone stopped to tell me how cute it was.  I saw it in Family Fun magazine I believe so I can't take credit for it. 

And of course my pics of Johnny Depp to motivate me. 

Some of the stuff I saw from subcontractors during testing made my jaw drop to the level of my fanny in utter disbelief!  We are talking about the use of grammar equivalent to what a sixth grader knows.  It is unbelievable  - that and things they don't even take the time to research. 

My personal favorites?  

"skin graph" 

"dorsalis peterson pulses"  

How about accuracy and grammar? Medicatios, etc. Sometimes the dictator will not even dictate if the report remains the same from last visit - What happens in this case??  

Thanks  

The use of commas depends on whether the clause is restrictive or nonrestrictive.  If it is nonrestrictive - that is, it may be informative but not necessary to the meaning of the sentence, then it is set off by commas.  On the other hand, if the clause is restrictive - that is, its use is imperative to the meaning of the sentence, then no commas are used.

Example:  That is the dog which ran off with my sandwich.   Restrictive because "which ran off with my sandwich" is necessary to the meaning of the sentence.

On the other hand:  That dog, which is wearing a yellow collar, ran off with my sandwich.  "Which is wearing a yellow collar" is not necessary to the meaning of the sentence; thus it is nonrestrictive and requires commas.

This subject can confuse a lot of people, because all they remember is setting the clauses off by commas and forget the restrictive and nonrestrictive rules.

English is a growing, changing language, and sometimes what were rules 50 years ago are no longer the rules for today.  We may argue against that - that grammar is grammar and should remain - but if that were the case we would all still be writing like Shakespeare or the early constitutionalists.  Look at their writings and decide if you would like to still have to write like that. 

Fewer commas is the trend for today, and I guess we will have to embrace the fact that time doesn't stand still for any of us, nor does the English language.
