I guess we'll stay home and eat Ramen. Hadn't though about food going up too.

You'll get used to it. It is keeping the right leg propped up at the same time that'll be the
When I broke my ankle, I was just grateful it wasn't the hands. Without our hands we'd be totally screwed.
I broke my right ankle slipping on ice and was lucky to have gloves on because the palm of the glove was totally torn up and my hand was okay.
Good luck and be sure to do your exercises when it is time.
well, I guess I envy ya'll! sm
I think I envy ya'll, anyways. For me, working that much just is not possible. Of course, I do have three kids at home, plus a husband. So, I don't know. I'd rather spend time with them than work all the time. But, I'm not knocking ya'll. I say if you can do it, go for it! Maybe one day I'll be able to work that much and make the BIG bucks.  My hat's off to ya!
Thank you! Guess I'll have to go back...
and try again!
Guess you'll have to come to my house for pizza!
Just finished canning 30 pints of pizza sauce from my homegrown tomatoes, peppers, basil, garlic, oregano and husband grows the onions. Husband and his brothers own a large crop farm so can and freeze lots of veggies. Also made salsa last week. Almost always make my own pizza anymore because of the artificial color problem. Haven't quite perfected it though (that pizzeria taste) but have got the crust almost "right". Would be happy to share my recipe for dough. Also sincere the in the shoulder if you need one- would be willing to share email address to correspond.
Ezcema is such a bummer!! I have several nephews (husbands side of the family) with it. Was worse for them when they were younger and has definitely gotten better now that they are older teens now. Food allergies did seem to be a culprit for them. Can you believe that when my daughter was totally covered all summer with hives that I went to my mother in law and asked her if anyone in the family had any allergies that she knew of because I was totally at a loss, immediately she said no without a thought. (Couldn't be anyone in "her family"). Then after I almost killed my daughter with Amoxicillian (strep throat), Gatorade, cough syrup (cold/cough), Benadryl (hives) and Advil (fever) (all of which have red dye which she is most allergic to) and her face and throat swelled up the mother in law suddenly remembered her sister stops breathing if she has artifical food colors. Golly gee thanks for your help. Her sister has food allergies and so do the nephews thanks for thinking of your granddaughter.
I guess you'll have to wait for the TV version then

Well, I guess I'll take my pay rate as a compliment then.
I graduated top of my class, and no, I didn't go to one of the "Big 3". I was actually hired 1 month before I graduated. I had 5 different job offers from various nationals and I chose one. I do not think 8 cpl is high at all. In fact, when I was doing my research on companies before I graduated, that seemed to be the going rate whether you had experience or not. I consistently type 1200+ lines a day and my QA score is 99%. I feel that 8 cpl is an appropriate rate for a newbie MT, especially when you consider that a lot of companies want to pay that for years of experience. If I only transcribed 1000 lines a day (8 hours), 5 days a week at 8 cpl, that would average out to $10.00 an hour. That is not a lot. I'm a single mom and frankly couldn't work for a company that offered less than 8 cpl.
I guess ya'll missed the point, but not surprising
I asked for opinions only of people who had SEEN the movie, oh well. I saw it and found it very sad, sad that people are condemned for who they love!!!
I do. I guess I'll wait a few mintues before disconnecting from the VPN
after I close out EXText. I guess I'm just in too big of a hurry to shut down when my shift is over! 
well, I guess we all disagree at one time or another--sm
but I did not say hate the BOS, I said hate the AAMT that produces it. Very few people have any respect for that organization any longer, but continue to buy the book from them, which is still feeding the monster, as I put it. anyway, that is just my opinion. NONE of my employers, or any one that I have ever tested with, used the BOS. I know what the book is. I have seen it and still think that it is just guidelines and nothing is set in stone. MOST doctors have their own preferences anyway, which have nothing to do with this book. I have many many reference books, so it is not that I don't believe in booked reference material. I have spent a good amount of money on them and have no qualms about continuing to do so. they are all invaluable, simply as reference material. I simply object to the AAMT, which has *shot the american MT in the foot*. but that is still just my opinion. enjoy your coffee.
Peeps?? Well, I guess it is almost time for

Food stamps, WIC, food banks, churches, family...
There are many answers to that problem.
No one has the right to steal and writing a dishonorable check is stealing. It is called "theft of property".
My tax dollars support government programs to prevent people from going hungry and to provide for women, infants, and children. I make donations to food banks and churches, etc., for those who just need help as well.
Food for the staff and doctors, if you can afford it. Food is always a big hit in a doctor's off
One of the biggest perks I can remember when I worked in a doctor's office was when the drug reps or orthopedic equipment reps would cater lunch for the whole office just so they could meet with the docs. The whole office would get so jazzed at the idea of free lunch.
If you can't afford to cater lunch, then I would do something like a muffin basket and bagels always go over well. But food is your best bet.
I guess it is time to make a stand...
I just received my first subscription via E-mail to Advance Health Magazine.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY ACTUALLY HAD TWO ADVERTISEMENTS IN IT FOR HIRING INDIA MTs?
These are about 1/4 of a page size. One is from CBAY, which is Spheris, which is their 100% India company. Bragging a 30% decrease in costs to hospitals.
This not only threatens American MTs with losing jobs outright, but it also UNDERCUTS us. This is why we are making less money, less benefits, and needing to work harder.
I sent an E and cancelled immediately. Actually, I had been considering it for a while because of a bit percentage of their Medical Transcription articles are pro- undercutting American MTs, anyway, just like AAMT.
In my opinion, WE ARE BEING SOLD-OUT, AND BEING SOLD-OUT BY AAMT as they push harder and harder to make money any way they can, even by supporting Indian MTs, who are probably being told they "have" to join their organization...
They have been trying to force American MTs to become certified to fill their pockets and position themselves for the future as a monopoly. However, it seems American MTs are not as easily led as in India, so they flip-flopped. If you can't beat them, join them, right?
I am so disgusted. Last month they had an article from someone encouraging companies to hire American MTs and I was so hopeful, but this made me sick, to get it in my E-mail.
Time for me to make a stand. My job is worth fighting for and I need it...
I guess if there is a 10th it's time to replace my 8th!

Busy..yes that I am LOL. I would love some MEEE time, but I guess I will have to

Guess what? When he's at work all day at HIS job, he's not spending time with the family
Grrrrr.
I guess I don't understand the purpose of a time stamp
being put throughout a document? Can someone explain why this would be needed?
Thank you! I'll try that the next time it happens.....nm

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
Nothing new since the beginning of time..calories in, calories out. good food choices..portion size
mine sucks snot all the time...allergies I guess.

Okay, I'll say this differently this time
flaming face - to me, denoting hostility, then complains essentially that all the people who make less than nice comments should go somewhere else. My point was that the original post seemed to be contradictory, starting off with a hostile style of emoticon, then wanting everyone to just get along.
I hope my point is more clear.
I'll be homeschooling for the first time

Thanks for the responses. I'll give it more time.

Time for some honesty with the hubs. He'll never know how

It's hard so that you'll fail the first time and
Tell your employer that the money you give to AAMT/ADHI for the 'privilege' of taking their test is funding the progressive offshoring of the American MT profession. If you've been an MT for nearly 30 years, you don't need a CMT after your name. You were a professional MT long before that bunch of con artists dreamed up that scheme to make themselves rich by making MTs think they were on their side. Now we all know better. Don't fund their offshoring scam!

Yeah, take the time to do it, and once you do you'll never forget the name of that catheter!!
Don't always look for the EZ way out.......
Okay, next time I'll run the topic of my posting past you okay, Your Highness?

You're already doing great! You'll be there in no time. I wasn't as fast as you when I star

Get out the timer. You'll have to force yourself to work uninterrupted for periods of time.
Just keep in mind that you WANT the money. Best of luck!
Next time I'll run my postings past you for approval then, okay, posting police?
I love the "my way or the highway" attitude. Get over yourselves.
It's healthy to enjoy some alone time. You'll adjust and enjoy it soon.

No. It'll be the most expensive magazine subscription you'll ever get, and it's unnecessary

I'll vent and I'll sign my name sm
I have two IC contracts right now. I recently went back to a job I had quit earlier in the year to work for the other company I am still working for.
The newer job has 80% ESLs. I transcribe OP notes primarily and I can fill in other work types as the opportunity arises. I am frustrated with this particular situation. After 6 months, I am making less money and working longer hours. I am past the learning curve and I should be doing better, at least in the number of hours I am spending doing the job. We have run out of work for 24 hrs at a time at least 5 or 6 times since December 1, and in November it was more than that. I have a friend who worked for this company as well and she was having similar difficulties. The only thing that we can figure is that they are shorting us line count some way, because after 6 months at it, it should be easier/faster/more money, but it is less and less every single pay period. It is not a nice thing to accuse a company of doing, but it SEEMS that way to us. I am fed up with being expected to type every single OP note that comes in 24/7 and meeting the 6 hr TAT for them on weekends, evenings, holidays, wee hours of the morning...
I took back a job I held for 2-1/2 yrs. The team leader has changed and this gal thinks that I should be on call 24/7 for whenever she has work. I might have some at 7 a.m., or perhaps not until 6 p.m. or later. I can't plan my personal life and between these two IC situations, I find that I am not eating on a daily basis, not showering on a daily basis and not sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have lost weight and I don't feel very well. I woke up today with a rip roaring head cold (my first in nearly 8 yrs) and it has already moved to bronchitis and I am expecting pneumonia by the weekend because I develop it very easily. I already have deep pain in my back.
Yes, I should call in sick tomorrow, but I really can't take the fallout. The job I took back I am covering for another gal who wanted vacation over the holidays and if I have to call in sick, the team leader will call me and pitch a fit about how this is my responsibility. It IS my responsibility, I did say I would do it, and I will do it, despite being quite ill. In the past, when I worked for this company, they would not allow me to call in sick for a "cold" without a doctor's note. I worked through many illnesses with them and only called in sick when I developed West Nile Fever and while I was sick for over a month, I only called for my last 12 reports one day when I could no longer see the computer screen because my head hurt.
The problem is that yes, many MTs lack work ethic. They don't take their responsibility seriously. This is not a work as you please career, not even for an IC. I can see the MTSO's point of view, I truly can. Like finding experienced, reliable and capable MTs, for the MTs who are these things, finding a company will treat you like a human being is equally difficult. I sit here, feeling lousy and like I am an utter slave labor with no consideration whatsoever. I know that my work needs to be done, but when I am this sick it is better that someone else do it for the sake of the work, for accuracy and for speed of getting it out. I know that I am needed, but to be the MT these companies need me to be, I also need to look after my own health.
I will also mention that when I have asked for vacation, I have been approved for the time, but the MTSO queues up my work and calls me then I am not on the system getting it done. I have told them I had been approved for time off, but the MTSO didn't schedule anyone to cover for me and I am told to get on work, vacation or no, if I want to keep my job.
Thus, I work 24/7/365 and have for years. I work sick, I work when I am in pain (I have an AI disorder), I work exhausted from staying up all night covering for others who are allowed to call in sick and have vacations when I can't have either. I work having no health insurance and not being able to afford the $125 a month to buy some with a high copay so I can see a doctor. I work without breaks for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I sometimes come close to having an accident because if I leave my desk to go to the little girls' room I get nasty calls about where I am at and what I am doing.
Many MTs are mistreated, and I am one of them.
If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
Dog food
Try switching to a better dog food, such as Nutro. Also at her age she deserves all the best in life and I would even consider giving her a meal once a day of chicken and rice or beef and rice, very inexpensive also. The table scrap thing, although stated by the vets all these years, is a bunch of bunk in my opinion. Dogs like a varied diet just as humans. Just so long as it is whole natural foods, not processed. You would love you to death to give her this small pleasure at her age. Good luck.
I think it has less to do with food....
and more to do with activity. I'm 45 and remember eating Ring Dings and chips and all kinds of junk food back when I was a kid. Granted we hardly ever had fast food, but moms back then didn't exactly cook according to Weight Watchers.. We had spaghetti, meatloaf, fried chicken, all that good stuff. However, what did we do in our spare time back then? WE PLAYED OUSIDE! We didn't have organized activities or play dates, we just went outside and played, all day long if we could. I remember being dragged in at dusk because I didn't want to stop playing, riding bikes, skating, etc. What are kids doing today? Sitting on their rears watching movies and playing X-Box. Maybe that has more to do with childhood obesity than diet. Food for thought anyhow.
food?
AMEN to the mexican food and margarita!
food
Baked beans - 1/2 cup is considered a serving and for the hash browns, 4 ounces would be considered a serving. You can add or substract from this to make it come out. Better to have a little bit left over than not enough at all. Good luck
I do like his food. nm
