ER died when Mark Green died. The 'new'
the same oomph as the originals. Not as exciting as it used to be. I had watched since the very first episode and loved every episode until then. Now it's BORING!
ER died with Mark Green - Not the
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's a special place in heaven for people like you...
You, my fellow MT, are a diamond in the coal that is humanity.
Blessed Be!
has anyone heard from frank regarding the hawaii giveaway from mq? is he still in hawaii?
i got the mail regarding MT lawsuit and other stuff from mq but no postcard or notification from frank who won the hawaii contest. think he's mad because of MTs suing him?
Well, I looked & looked but did not find it. Maybe tomorrow!
`
It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
Hawaii
Well, next time I see a St. Jude's ad with those sobbing parents and bald headed kids, I'll think of you and 2 MTs going to Hawaii on the money donate to your hospital.
I am going to Hawaii and I am NOT an...sm
AAMT official. I just "plan ahead" and got airfare/hotel pkg early at discounted rate...simple. I am self-employed MT. Can't wait to see Hawaii!!
do you mean you are in Hawaii and they
won't hire you? I thought Hawaii was part of the US??
d~
Hawaii anyone?
Hey does anyone here want to move to Hawaii w me? We could type all morning, then we could go be beach bunnies n then come back home and type some more---what do you think?
Hawaii
Not much advice other than to do your research first, obviously. Hawaii can be much more expensive to live depending on where you move. We lived in Honolulu and it is WAY overpriced, and it is near impossible to find apartments. That is the reason we moved away. We had our son and couldn't find a place to live and most of the places in our price range ($1000 a month) were just dumps. Every place had 20 or more people also applying for it. After 6 months of searching for a place to live, we decided to move back to the mainland.
Now we are moving back, but we are moving to the Big Island. Prices are cheaper and it is more laid back. We want away from the city. Since I have a family, we are getting our own place. We are going to start with a 1-bedroom apartment temporarily until we find out what area we want to live and then we will find a house. But if I were single again and moving, I would find someone that needs a roommate. This is what I did before. I moved with my sister, and then we she moved away, I moved in with some friends. We were able to get a nice house with all 3 of us sharing the rent. I also would not sign a full years' lease unless you are absolutely sure you want to stay. Many go over only to realize Hawaii is not paradise. Some love it, some hate it. It is a different culture and a different mindset there. But I love it and can't wait to return. Feel free to email me with any questions. : )
7th Heaven
I am really going to miss it too! I love 7th Heaven!
7th Heaven
Hard to find good shows the whole family can watch. We will miss it.
I would be in heaven
Lordy, I would be so thrilled if I could make 200 lines an hour!
Hawaii trip
Do you know how we can find out? I mean, today is July 11th, so its 10 days from when the winner was supposedly chosen! I have to put in my vacation time doncha know! LOL

Hawaii - everything except sleep

warm hawaii
it will be my first time living in hawaii-any advice? are you getting your own place out there? I'm in the freeeezing cold smack in the middle of the country right now so I am also looking forward to escaping!
yes, that is true, but Hawaii is much different.
moving to a place where they are suddenly the minority. I have lived all over the United States, having moved to a new state just about every year since I was 19, but moving to Hawaii was definitely a culture shock to me at first. Luckily, because I have moved so much, I adapted quickly, but others do not do so well. That is why if you visit any forum regarding Hawaii, you will find many haoles (non-Hawaiian, usually refering to "white" people) complaining about the locals being racist. Many can't leave the mainland mentality behind on the mainland and those are the ones who end up hating Hawaii.
Oh, for Heaven's sake -

Why in heaven do you even have to "ask" him? - sm
This is a tool of your trade. If your husband were a carpenter and needed a saw, would he ask you? I can assure you he wouldnt. He would just run out and get one. Just go get one for goodness sake.
Kevin is heaven?
If kevin is heaven then.....aw nevermind...lol
good voice but do we really want a nerd to represent America???
I'd rather just pay the money and go to heaven.

Do you work in heaven?
Man, I'd love a job at home with full benefits. Not many of those around here (Los Angeles), if any at all. If the company I
previously worked for at home had those, I never would have gone back to the word-factory of in-house transcription! Consider yourself very blessed!
For heaven's sake! It's not THAT bad!
You can go to CareerStep, one of the "top 3" schools for about $1,600, and if you work at it you should be able to finish it in 9-12 months. As for purchasing equipment, you'll get a foot pedal with your course and Express Scribe (the software you'll use to actually transcribe) is free. You will have to buy a few reference books and some fairly cheap software--that all shouldn't run you more than $400-$500, tops. I'm assuming you already have a computer, or else how could you have posted this note?
Now, there are jobs being taken over by software and being outsourced to other countries. And there ARE doctors who dictate TERRIBLY. But there are still some decent jobs out there and decent doctors as well. If you work at it and sell yourself well, you should do okay. Good luck!
well for heaven sakes, huh FUN FUN FUN
I need to watch now, getting a bit weary of so many this-and-that contest though. Awaiting return of Dancing with the Stars though. Loved it last time, so fun fun fun. I've seen Alicia Keys on Leno, brought back two in quick time, she played piano and say. She is good and so young, so many of them are so young and really have talent too not just a lot of loud hoopla of this-and-that.
How exciting for you both.
For Heaven's sake... don't do what I did!
I accepted a position with another company, turned in my resignation when I received the acceptance letter from the other company. Friday will be my last day on the job, and I have not heard from the other company as to downloading software on computer and my first day is supposed to be Monday. My employer has already hired someone in my place, so I can't ask for my old job back. The past several days I've sent out about 5 or so resume's to various companies.
And for heaven's sake....
don't dictate in the bathroom. That's waaaaaay more than we want to hear!
The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
Hawaii trip for 2 winner?
Does anyone know if they have announced the winner for Hawaii trip offered by MedQuist? When I filled out my entry form it said the winner would be announced on July 1, 2005. I am so curious! :)

Medquist Hawaii Prize
Anybody heard who won the trip to Hawaii? Or did Frank and Greg go with their secretaries?
actually there was a hawaii vacation but he traded it in
 yay us!
AAMT conf in Hawaii
Must be nice, but I sure don't know many MTs who could afford it. Also, as an IC, if I take time off I simply don't get paid!
Interestingly, Kim Buchanan (the current president of AAMT) was formerly employed by Healthscribe. In fact, due to her AAMT status, she was a feather in their cap (so to speak). No conflict of interest there...
He often leads parades in Hawaii...
where he chants "No ice in paradise!" - referring to crystal meth - big problem there.
Moving to Hawaii in June!
I will be working from 4 am til about 10 or 11 and then going to have the rest of the day to enjoy the sun and surf! Lived there before and loved it and can't wait to get back.
For heaven's sake, where is your lawyer?
Your divorce is final in 2 weeks, and you're asking this super important question to MTs on a message board? PLEASE ask your lawyer.
heaven should be closed to most IRS agents
As soon as possible, talk to an attorney who specializes in this. Ask them if you can file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In many cases, you can ultimately pay up to 10% of a past owed date.
While this is being haggled in the courts, you can send money, or not. You will have the protection of the federal government, who will handle another branch of the federal government.
Just never miss a single payment to the courts.
At-home MT about 10 years ago...it was heaven...
I had no complaints about MT-ing really...worked from home, made lots of money with no worries or pressure, worked the hours I pretty much wanted so I could enjoy my 'real' life, it was the best job I ever had ~
I quite miss it
Oh for heaven's sake...if she knew how to...
do that, she wouldn't have a question! Anyway, what platform do you use? Most of the time you will find a folder in the "My Documents" folder or in the hard drive (go to "My Computer" and click on your hard drive--usually C:) by the same name as your platform. Inside that folder will be your templates. When you get there, you can press Ctrl and F together. A screen will come up asking what you want to search for. Click "All files and folders". Where it says "All of part of the file name:" put "*.dot" (without the quotes). This will find all of the templates within that folder. Hope this helps.
Can't even afford a vacation on the mainland! Hawaii?!! No could do. nm
s
Tropical paradises. Hawaii cannot be beat.
dd
it is heaven and paradise all rolled into one-I hope you get to go soon.
Kauai and Molokai are my personal favorites because they are the least developed (that people can visit)
Oh, for Heaven's sake - if you don't like it just don't reply. Grow up.
nm
I hear you there! Heaven forbid if you should ask a question.
I work at a company with a lot of ESL/bad dictators. When I flag something, I never get a response, so I have the same darn flag. I feel like I am risking my job when I attempt to do the really hard dictators. If they would just answer my flag (it is always in the same place), I would not have any problems.
"May his soul rest in heaven."
This was the last line of a death summary I just transcribed.
That's a new one on me....
frank went to hawaii to evaluate and study the accomodations.
Frank didn't think this Hawaii vacation would serve the purpose he had in mind so the CEOs are putting their heads together and doing a study and are sure that the new Hawaii vacation they come up with will please all involved but in the meantime please continue transcribing as they value all of our efforts and will get back to us on the Hawaii vacation in a year or so once the CEO and managers form committees to study the vacation and fair way of chosing a winnner while studying the effects of a vacation on work habits of the lowly MT.
frank is in hawaii and won't be back until he feels like it. or he is fired,
Ask Frank is still on MQ website. Greg is back. Can Greg help?
Wow ... 14.5 cpl ... that's great! I'd be in "typer" heaven (reference to my post sm
on the main board - ha).
Congrats :)
Ask Greg or Frank or whoever is the current CEO. They can check e-mails from Hawaii.
 Aloha.
