anybody got an idea for halloween costumes for a group of 4 people?
I think we should form a group alright, but no support group!!
How about a group of MTs forming their own transcription company?! We don't need some yahoo with an MBA who only cares about the bottom line and doesn't realize there would be NO bottom line if not for the MTs. We do this work on a daily basis, we know what to do and how to do it and most of us have dealt with doctors one on one. I am so disgusted with these companies and from reading this board, so are alot of others.
Halloween
Go to marthastewart.com and search 'halloween'. There's a ton of stuff in there. Have fun!
I don't like Halloween....

so I'm not up for that challenge.  It has nothing to do with religion, or beliefs, or such....I just do not like Halloween.  I did the whole bit when my kids were little, but never liked it (they could not tell that though!). 


I don't like witches, or spiders, or cupcakes that look like them.  Don't like pointy hats and long chins with warts on them and especially warts with hair growing out of them.  Don't like to scare people or to be scared.  Don't like hairy spiders hanging on a thread.  Don't like green faces on little children.  Don't like mucous-looking stuff dripping off someone's face or, worse yet, off another body part.


I am being somewhat facetious but...I really do not like Halloween.


BUT I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE CANDY CORN!!! AND THE CANDY CORN THAT IS SHAPED LIKE A PUMPKIN. 


Halloween Candy
Milky Way!
Whatever is on sale at 50-75% off the day after Halloween....sm
Target usually has the most "good stuff" candy on sale i.e. the Hershey bars, M&Ms, Snickers, etc.  Usually the day after Halloween it's 50% off and 2 days after Halloween it's 75% off.  I stock up on enough candy to last until Christmas, then after Christmas get enough to last until Valentine's Day, then after Valentine's Day I grab whatever I can because there's no major "candy events" for a while to get it cheap! 
For me, I would have to say Halloween and Candyman. nm

Halloween goblins???
   
Happy Halloween to all. nm

Halloween twinkle lights.

These lights are adorable.  If you weren't going to have the kids make them, perhaps you could make them up ahead of time to "decorate".  Twinkle lights are sold at the dollar stores nowadays for a buck!!!

What does being a Christian have to do with Halloween? see message

Your Halloween Party sounds fun!!!  I was thinking about doing one for my 6-year-old, having the kids dress up. 


 


But I do have to ask, just because you are a Christian does not mean you can't celebrate Halloween.  In fact, you ARE celebrating "Halloween", just on a different day.  I understand the meaning of Halloween isn't the best, however, that is the day that is set aside and Halloween has been totally commercialized anyway, so it is not like I am sitting at home worshiping un-Christian like things or trying to be a witch.  Do you see what I mean?  I am not trying to be mean, I too am a Christian, but we do take the kids out on Halloween. 


I'm not "afraid" of Halloween, but I was never into it, either, except when a pre-teen. Jus

You win! I'm coming to your house for Halloween!
on my broomstick!  LOL
I'm a Christian, I don't celebrate Halloween but
I do have a harvest carnival for my friends kids. They love it and every year it's bigger than the year before. 
Halloween has Christian origin. Please sm

Please see the link below. 


That is a GREAT Halloween costume idea! LOL. nm

Don't get me started on them - I'm thinking of dressing up for Halloween
as a Diskriter transcriptionist, i.e. Indian transcriptionist!
Halloween party for 6 year olds
Any ideas for a Halloween party/slightly haunted house.  Food, games, spooky decorations?  Thanks in advance.
Help! Need teen halloween custome ideas?? anyone? nm

Poll: What is your favorite Halloween candy? s/m
I always get a craving for candy corn this time of year!
My pre-teen Halloween story - happened about

There were always literally hundreds of kids out in our neighborhood on Halloween.  When I was about 12, I got a gray wig and messed up the hair, a rubber mask with a large nose and lots of wrinkles, wore an old long plaid robe tied at the waist and socks with open-toe bedroom slippers.  So here I am, messy gray hair, ugly face, robe and slippers and walked with a limp down the dark street.  Two men were waiting at the end of a driveway for their children.  Here I come, limping by and one man pokes the other one in the side and says, "Hey, Jim.  Is that your wife or mine?" 


I will remember that for as long as I live.


I thought it was cute.. Happy Halloween. nm

I challenge you all to host a Halloween/Fall party at your house this year! sm

You will have an eyeball! I mean, ball.


This will be my 1st, usually my sister-in-law does it. I picked up A Taste of Home's Halloween issue and if that doesn't inspire you to do something this fall, then you might be dead...pun intended.


For dessert I am going to make little witches that will make a neat centerpiece. Here's how you do it: Take 16 large marshmallows, oreo cookies, coconut slivers (for the hair that you dye green with food coloring), Hershey kisses and peanut butter cups (miniature) that will be the top of her hat (place candies on top of oreo chocolate cookie (minus one side of cookie and the frosting).  Use pretzels for her broomstick. These things are so cute I can hardly stand it.


2. Spider cupcakes. Use chocolate EVERYTHING and for the legs use 8 small pieces of licorice dangling from the cupcake and anything small and red for the eys (M&M minis) or red icing.


There are tons of ideas and recipes. The main dish will be Witch's Brew Stew and it looks awesome! If you want the recipe, email me. If not, then drop dead.


Oh, and for the kiddies, I will be playing games like pin the stem on the pumpkin and bobbing for body parts (will probably call this game something else), but you fill up a large tin bucket, stain the water black and put things in inside. Each kid takes turns using their hands to try to find 3 things you tell them to find in this nasty mixture of stuff using their HANDS, not mouth.....


So, get your invitations out, dust off your printers and have fun! I'm doing this mid-month, not on Halloween since I am a Christian and we don't celebrate Halloween.

don't mean to group the
hard workers, but this particular person was bragged about to all employees. If we make a good line count, do they brag about us, NO. Congratulations on your line count, you earned it. We did not have this information because of being allowed to see the line counts, we were told. Just wanted to set this straight.
There is a third group you know...
There are Americans who are working thier butts off, both spouses, and still can't make ends meet.  Forget about extras like healthcare, some are lucky to keep the lights on!  They may be courtious, professional people but life is not fair and life is not easy for everyone. 
MRC ----> MRC Group ---> TL?
I'm trying to remember the exact sequence of corporate mergers.

I seem to remember the name Medical Records Corporation being morphed into The MRC Group before the TL merger (was that a merger or an acquisition?). I lost track when TL became Medquist. At one point I was hired by TL when TL and MRC Group were two different places to work. One was in Palos Heights, the other in Oak Brook, and that was a case study in not burning bridges, because it seemed like employees from those offices migrated back and forth between employers somewhat regularly.

Then several years later, I went back to look to be rehired, and discovered much to my dismay that Medquist no longer had brick-and-mortar offices. That was a rude awakening! I really miss being able to stop by the office and chat now and then. I don't play well enough with others to enjoy being in an office every day, but once every couple of months worked out great! :)
Another group to join...sm
DeadBeatHunters@yahoo.com - you can learn from other posters. Be careful about the accuracy of their advice, though. The monitor told me that you can get retroactive to your application with CSE, but the CSE attorney said they do not do that. Since it took 2 years to locate my husband' Ex, that could have been alot of money!

http://www.deltabravo.net/custdy/ - you can go here because one of the forums is called Child Support. They even have a page there where you can learn things that are specific for your state. I think that's where you can read about child support laws in your state.

What's your case about? Do you have an CS order signed by a judge? Can the deadbeat be located? Is he interstate (it's a felony to leave the state if you are in arrears for child support).

Just don't give up! Good Luck!
Group you mean MTStars?
This group, you mean, MT Stars?  No, however, I cant let an ignorant poster get away with posting ignorant judgmental stuff..
Hunt Group
I have a 16-port digital server and need a hunt group for it.  I asked my local telephone service provider, and was told they have no idea what I am talking about.  I need this server set up right now!  Where do I get a hunt group?  Any help will be greatly appreciated!  Please email me.  Thanks in advance.  Molly
Hunt Group
Sorry Molly, I would think maybe you could ask a computer expert? Never heard of this.
Re: Hunt Group
My understanding is that a hunt group is a series of phone numbers and/or extensions that create "rollover" so physicians never get a busy signal when they call in to the system.  Maybe I was misinformed, but I was told the phone company would have to set this up.  If it is a computer set up instead, then back to square one.  Surely someone out there has set up one of these machines???  It's not rocket science.  This is supposed to be simple.  Thanks, Molly
what is up with this group today?
Is it because it is Monday? Why are so many people in a bad mood today? Years and years ago when I used to own a home daycare and the kids really got on my nerves I would tell them I was going to time out. I did that very rarely but it got their attention every time. They knew they had gone too far if I said that. I'd go in another room for just a bit just for some peace. Kids are used to being put in time out but it doesn't always work. Well, I think somebody needs to call a time out here today. Since it doesn't look like that is going to happen, I'm putting myself in time out. By the way, I have not posted any of the negative comments here today but I have clicked on one too many. So....tomorrow is a new day. Hope everyone gets up on the right side of the bed tomorrow. Happy Tuesday!!!! Ta-ta for now!
Group insurance for IC sm

Are there any companies that have group rates for self- employed?  Just curious.


This happened to a group of us
at Heartland a few years back approximately 2 weeks prior to Christmas. Have your friend file for unemployment right away. This seems to be so common in this business and it is disgraceful. She needs to pick herself up and just apply for a new job. She will find a replacement and move on .. be stronger for it too .. she has the power of this community behind her in prayers and good wishes.
From the Yahoo Group.

I believe DSP Group Truespeech was

was used.  I will give that a try to see how that works. 


Thanks a million! 


Was the group out of Marietta?
I saw something similar on local news where transcriptions, I think about 4, were not getting their pay but I do not believe it said medical. Do you have any other info?
She said they said group b Streptococcus --
that is the way I always type it. 
The Hay Group did a national survey
in 1999. It was very comprehensive, and covered hospital, service and IC MTs across the country. I'm looking at it now, and the drop in compensation between then and now is sickening.

If you contact them, perhaps they have updated the figures. They're online at haygroup with the usual before and after.
Join a church? Seriously. I have a mom's group through the sm
church where we get together for lunch once a week amongst many other activities within our church. Fairly large church. Couldn't survive without it.
We aren't a therapy group here.
 Some of you need to get off it!
Maybe we should form a support group

"Rad MTs Anonymous" - LOL


But hey, anyone who has participated in this thread who had a similar experience to mine is welcome to email me. I would be happy to swap stories, offer support, and just generally help you (and me) feel that we are not alone in this.


Thanks to everyone who responded positively. Your support is greatly appreciated.


Anyone want to do a group savings club?

Just trying to drum up a little motivation.


If we pact to do 100 lines a day more each day that we earn and then put that net amount into savings each paycheck, it can add up a bit!


For me, that would be 500 lines a week or $160 a month gross.  By the time my taxes are taken out, that's about $131 a month net and THAT adds up to $1572 a year! 


Any takers?!  See who earns the most for it or heck even stays with it?! 


  


Going with a small group but I am traveling alone.
Yes, it does sound great! I've already downloaded the schedule of speakers -- going to be at the CSI-Decapitation exhibit, see Richard Simmons, lol. I'm also curious to see all the vendors and what they have to display and tell. LOL

Joined up with the old folks group and
starting doing ceramics and now they have a travel group, wanting to plan a trip to Italy. That is right down my alley! Another trip before too long is Macinaw (spelling?) Island in Michigan. Now with my other 2 vacations this year, this senior citizen group should just be the therapy I need.
A group of people starts with one.

Have a friend who wants to join our group but
I forgot exactly what I did to get to chat in the first place. Can someone walk me through it so I can let them know? Thanks!
Dictation Services Group

Hello all,


I'm a newbie to the board and in fact was just hired today by DSG. I've read some of the old messages regarding DSG but can't seem to find anything written about them lately. So I'm asking...does anybody out there have any advice/suggestions or revelations regarding DSG?


Also: I've never worked from home transcribing before, but I'm so excited and feel BLESSED and THANKFUL to be able to finally get to do so. I am, however, a little concerned about how difficult it may be to learn the accounts they assign me to. Do any of you have advice or wisdom regarding how long it generally takes to "get used to" your account(s)?


I am aware that the company uses DocQScribe. Are there still problems with the program?


Thank you all SO MUCH in advance for your help!


liz, oklahoma


Well then probably you need to find a group of MTs who you know and trust...
because unfortunately when you get people who don't know each other this will happen...
You could join a study group through sm
AHDI, but there is no radiology-specific CMT credential.  In fact, I took the test within the past year and there are hardly any rad-specific questions on it.
No way. I would run group homes for special needs folks and
