In Reply to: lost dog and goat.. any ideas - they got out of their pen today
Wonder what they'd do with the goat?
I was visiting my MIL this week, and there were three beagles running around her yard. They kept coming up on her porch, so I led them out to the road. They followed me quite happily. Then somebody drove up in a truck and just observed us. I wandered over to ask if he was missing any beagles, and he was the dog catcher! He had been called about FOUR beagles. I just told him they weren't mine, but they sure were friendly! He asked if they'd come to me when called, and I said SURE! But then I left him to call the dogs himself, LOL. I can't help it if dogs don't like him. :oD

Well that is real mature, calling me a rimrod. Why the name calling?
I am not telling everyone to leave this site. I gave info about MTSTars.net to let us, who have been on this site MTStars.com for many years to make up their own minds. YESTERDAY, I never got a straight answer about the owner of this board and now I know, but I was in the middle of asking questions earlier and my posts kept getting deleted. I was not calling anyone names, like YOU have and I am not insuling anyone like YOU have. NOT offshoring? Well he is from Pakistan am I right? I still do not know the truth. Can you supply me with more information about Dr. Ahmed?
I am sure you do, you 300 pound MT.
So, get a mirror and take a look at yourself. Get a membership to Curves and lose at least 75 pounds. The people getting attacked are the ones who like MQ, they are the ones who start it and if we respond, you make it worse. You think I am going to sit here and take crap from some lard a** who is ugly and lives in a trailer park? Doubt it. So, go type and don't worry about me, that is, if you can fit in your chair.
LOL it's POUND sand... nm

How's this for a fun fact? A pound of flab is the...
equivalent of four sticks of pure butter. Thought this would make some laugh. I just started running and found this fun fact in one of my fitness magezines. So that means I have 100 sticks of pure butter on my butt and thighs that I want to lose, LOLOLOL!!!
It sounds like if feel you don't want to pound
IC job on-line?
My huge 19-pound cat lies on my footpedal
and I constantly have to chase him off of it. :)
My 75 pound husky likes to "sm"
come and take her ball and toss it on my keyboard! When I have enough and tell her to quit, she will lay it very sweetly beside my keyboard! She knows exactly what she is doing!
get business cards, pound the pavement....sm
go to medical center buildings and sell yourself with your business card, your resume if required, and your own self-confidence!! Good luck!! 
I cook mine low - about 225 or 250, for about 10 minutes per pound

There are laundries that will wash/dry/fold by the pound sm
I have taken in Laundry Mountain and had it all finished for around $40. Of course it's going to be different wherever you are. It did get me caught up and I was able to keep up with it for quite a while.
Be prepared to pound those keys for a national
and you have to be able to stay focused if you chose a national requiring set hours. Consider your benefits. There are pros and cons to working from home. I would say unless you have a really good reason to type from home, then keep your day job. I do fine myself because I am an IC, but I sometimes feel very isolated from the outside workforce. I do have children, but adult conversation when you are pounding those keys all day is hard to come by. The other duties you speak of on-site keeps you sane! Just my opinion! Good luck whatever you decide. The money is just not there anymore working for these nationals unless you are willing to put on long days and pound out about 300 lph. 
Penny wise and pound foolish
Cheap ones don't save in voice files. They're hard to use so most likely your doc will not bother to pause or rewind for dictation. You may save some money now but you will end up wasting more time to decipher the recording. The best one is Olympus DS5000... every word can be heard clearly with that.
DId NOT work. Had to pound the keys -- took it back in 2 days. nm

Hyphens are used because 32-year-old and 11-pound are compound modifiers. SM
A compound modifier is two or more words that act as a single modifier for a noun.
For example:
32-year-old male
11-pound weight loss
22-gauge needle
1-cm mass
Please, don't "ex-pound," I probably meant expand!. It's late! Thanks

My cat veterinarian authorized us to use cat Frontline on our 5-pound tiny toy poodle
She said it goes by size and he's the size of a small cat.
I have an 80-pound, 3-legged husky under my desk--- keeps messing with the foot pedal! - sm
So I have dog now lying down somewhat quietly but breathing his hot breath on my legs, makes it hard not to laugh hysterically ---- certainly hard to work, but it is funny.
Lemon pound cake wtih lemon drizzle. mmmmmmmmm

But YOU are the one doing all the name calling
She simply asked you to knock it off....as so many of us would like to echo. Get over yourself and quit knocking everyone who posts on the board. There are some of us who would like to be informed and knowledgeable about our sister MTs and our industry as a whole. If you are not one of them, don't waste your time or our time by coming to this board at all, okay? Your whining is annoying
Hey, who is this guy calling old! How

Name calling
Name Calling or Substitutions of Names or Moral Labels:
This technique attempts to arouse prejudices in an audience by labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as something the target audience fears, hates, loathes, or finds undesirable.
Dangers inherent in name calling: In its extreme form, name calling may indicate that the propagandist has lost his sense of proportion or IS UNABLE TO CONDUCT A POSITIVE CAMPAIGN INTELLIGENTLY.
Before using this technique, the propagandist must weigh the benefits against the possible harmful results.
Have you tried calling?
I know when I had A problem they were able to answer my questions. Have you tried calling them? :)
If he keeps calling you, tell him
him for harassment. I'm pretty sure he would not have handed the title over like that without his money. If she owed him money, where is his proof? receipts showing balance due? Please do not hand over money to someone who may well be a heartless opportunist.
I'm very sorry for your loss. Be well.
calling you?
they say that girls in the trailer park go round the outside, round the outside. I wouldn't be bragging about servicing the neighborhood's husbands.
No need for name-calling here.
The tone of this chain is not malicious nor judgemental. Please don't come on here carelessly calling people names. This woman had a life or death situation on her hands and handled it the best way she could. She came here to help another human being in trouble by giving her valuable first-hand information. In other threads, this malicious tone may be okay, but not here, okay? Please just stay away if you can't bear the comments, okay? These people are hurt enough already. Thank you.
OK without the name calling....sorry
So do you think a nationalized health plan is a good thing for this country?
No name-calling, please. NM

What does name calling accomplish. It seems like you and another
poster calling a person names is no better than the cherry picker.
Why the name calling? You are sad. The comment sm
was made because he was for spheris and the outsouring they do, and yes they don't advertise jobs here because they outsoure. You are the one that needs to do some soul seardhing and grow up.
I don't think ANY of the name-calling or slurs is okay.
It seems like as soon as someone posts something against the "prevailing opinion," it's okay to call names and make all kinds of nasty remarks about them personally. Not just in this topic, but in many others. There seems to be an attitude of "they said something bad first, so it's okay to say the most hateful and hurtful thing I can think of."
I disagree with your post above, but I certainly wouldn't call you a name or imply that you are deficient, lacking, or stupid in some way for having that opinion.
I don't personally think the "single mother" is relevant to the topic at all. It's a bad thing to have happened REGARDLESS of the person's age, marital status, or number of children, but I also don't think it's EXTRA bad because she's a single mother - and I don't think that's how she meant it.
? about "cold calling."
For those of you who have acquired accts through cold calling, what do you suggesting saying? I did get one account this way, but cant remember how I managed. Any tips appreciated!
Thanks,
Florida girl!
who's whining here besides you. i'm calling
re: Susie-LD Calling
This is true--we were all told to switch to a LD carrier by our transcription company to use for dictation and many of us were contacted by the phone company withing 4 to 5 months of doing this and told that we could not use it for business purposes. They actually called the numbers and knew that we were calling various places for dictation so some of use were switched back to using the 800 numbers
You are calling me perverted
when you come on this board with all of this stupid, juvenile crap. You really need to grow up.
Who are you calling stupid?
Well, if they are soooo stupid, explain how they are the largest transcription company in the US?
Perhaps you know something about the packet that we don't, because in case you didn't know this - NO ONE GOT THEIR PACKET YET! DUH - Talk about stupid - look in the mirror.
How do YOU know so much, huh?
PS - While looking in the mirror, go brush those yellow-stained teeth, comb that nasty wirey, brillo-pad hair, squeeze some of this nasty whiteheads, and get a face lift - because ain't no one want someone like you working for them!
I agree with you about calling 911. sm
Have it checked out.
Here's what fortunately happened to my stubborn sister.
She just happened to luck out because she was in a room full of people at a big birthday bash for a friend. She didn't feel good, a bit of a nagging headache, but thought it was no big deal until her head started to ache so bad that she dropped into a chair. She was about 5 blocks from the hospital at the time and someone called rescue. She had a brain aneurysm rupture, but she made it. After a month in the hospital she is "normal" with only a slight problem with short term memory.
The "moral" of this story is that if my stubborn sister had been home by herself, thinking, "maybe something is wrong" she would have taken an aspirin and went to lie down.
Don't mess with chest pain. Better to find out that you've pulled a muscle or something.
"I am trying to tell him he needs to go to the ER." This is a quote from OP who is now calling
:+
is calling, and then my phone co....sm
My phone company went and put voicemail on my line when I got DSL (didn't ask for voicemail) so now I use that voicemail as my secretary. I can first *see* who is calling on caller ID and then NOT take the call, and they get thrown into voicemail. After working hours, I call them back. If it is an emergency, I CAN take the call. It has helped me tremendously. If they leave no message, they never get a call back. *LOL* (No message left on voicemail to me merely equates to *not important*!!)
I know its hard! I have one calling me and
another poster names. Well, actually calling me the name I call myself! ha! But I think the insult is supposed to be that no one else will hire me!! Isn't that just so illogical? Its unreal. I know its hard - sometimes one is afraid that these ignoramus types will think if they get the last word its cause they sure made their point! But we all have to realize that its just not to feed them - don't feed the trolls! Don't feed the trolls...
calling card
I used mine when I was out of town, and my minutes started as soon as I was connected to the dictation system. I diconnected in between reports when I proofread. It was cumbersome to do that, but saved some of my minutes.
Calling all ICs and subcontractors
I'm thinking of switching to an IC. Tell me the absolute best thing about being an IC/subcontractor and the absolute worst thing.
Thanks.
Calling Delaware MTs...
There are two of us here in Delaware so far that would like to get together and have lunch. We are planning on meeting at the Ruby Tuesdays in Middletown (Rt. 299) at 12 noon on Tuesday, April 3rd. We would love to have others come and have a nice day out. 
Try calling Dictaphone and ask.

Cold calling sm
Has anybody used cold calling to get their own accounts? If so, can you give me advice on how to go about doing this?
I'm also marketing with direct mail, etc., but would like to do some cold calling. I heard it works.
Thanks!
Now see THATs when I'd be calling the cops
if they are definitely trying to turn the knob - not just jostling it when trying to leave a hanger.
No different than calling an MT a pig. Not polite

No hypocrite here. Just calling it as it is.

How about calling H.R. and requesting an
If the company refuses, they could be setting themselves up for having to pay worker's comp. if you are injured on the job by the chair and can't work. The price of an ergonomically correct chair is small in comparison.
who you calling "wong"? that's not my name..lol nm

Who are you calling mary?
I AM NOT MARY! There you go again, thinking you are so darn smart. Well, you got the wrong person this time.
