the US to San Francisco for a cell phone commercial and he pulls up in front of his girlfriends house in SF and calls her on the cell phone and she comes to the door and there he sits in his car. It is the cell phone commercial for the cell phone with the bars on it. This is driving me nuts. I cannot remember the name of that oldie song.

That Pepto-Bismol Commercial song!
I now know who actually sings on that Pepto-Bismol commercial - "Upset stomach, diarrhea, -- YEAAAAAAA" It's the doctors I transcribe for!
It would be interstate driving, he and I driving as partners so we can
drive hard. The company we are talking with will give us the sleeper truck. I am envisioning MT while he is driving. Obviously, not full-time, though. I just hate to lose my grip with the contract I have - gravy work.
How would I get the internet access? Satelite will be available across country? Can't put any permanent receivers on the truck.
I remind you, this is not MY midlife crisis. I'm trying to work things out to accommodate him.
Has anyone seen the commercial
where the snowman is eating soup at the table, and the snow melts off him, and it is a little boy? Love that commercial.
It it was a commercial
flight then possibly. It's also possible though that it was a private plane. My oncology practice has 4 clinics in outlying areas of the state and the husband of the CEO flies the docs around in his plane.
lamisil commercial
I'm with you "sm", that Lamisil commercial with the toenail lifting gives me the heebie-jeebies!! It reminds me of when you have a long fingernail and you bang it against something and it bends backwards -- you know, that really freaky feeling....that's what the Lamisil commercial does to me, ouch!
have you seen the nextel commercial?
My son laughs uncontrollably every time this commercial comes on. So funny!

I saw a commercial last night for Tax Cut
if I am remembering correctly. If it is made by H&R block, then that is the one. It said that if you ever get audited that their representatives with help you through the process if you used that system. Seems like a good benefit to have. Maybe there is some small print to that, but worth checking into. My accountant guarantees to represent you if you get audited too.
Got commercial account
I have Comcast (simply because they're the only provider I can get here) and I had to go to a commercial account because my service kept getting interrupted and it would take them 2-3 days to do anything about it. A commercial account is costing me $100 a month but they have to deal with any problems I have within 24 hours, so its well worth it considering the money I lost waiting for techs to come out when I was residential. They never said anything about usage on either account though; their philosophy seems to be that anything residential is frivolous (being used for entertainment purposes) and can wait. So my advice is to go commercial - its the only way you'll get any respect at Comcast!
I had to get a commercial account
Its more expensive, but they have to guarantee 24 hour problem solution (or at least that a tech will put me at the head of the visit list). I haven't had any grief with them now for about 6 months, and I finally have a second option now (AT&T), so at least now I can dump them if things get bad with them again.
Disgusting commercial, huh?! Hahaha
I use Brawny paper towels and Lysol Kitchen spray on counters and appliances. I use plastic scrubbies on the sink and anything I need to scrub up before the dishwasher and the put the scrubbie in the dishwasher as well. I spray Lysol on the sink and faucets before I go to bed.
I started this when I saw Oprah's show on women who horde and won't clean/throw away anything. The experts she had on the show had checked one woman's kitchen sink for bacteria and compared it to her commode and the commode was cleaner! I about fell over. I have dishcloths and dishtowels but they are washed after every single use! Ewwwwww!
That commercial makes me want to puke.

And convenient. Just like the commercial says ' Some families

Here are the best 2 non-commercial links for bariatric
www.wlsforum.org
www.obesityhelp.com
Lots of information out there. Good luck on your research.
Yes, I would suggest using a commercial expander sm
Like ShortHand or Instant Text. They will increase your productivity tremendously.
As for the buckling down and just getting to work, well, as soon as you realize the secret to that, be sure and share it with the rest of us! If I knew the answer to that, I would not be sitting here on MTStars at 10:03 replying to your message, I would be cranking out the lines!! :)
I saw this great commercial last night in which
there were children playing and then all of a sudden one little girl started ranting on the others, saying something about awful pimples the other child has, etc... and then at the end of the commercial it said never say anything in an e mail you wouldn't say in person....It is a hard lesson but it is true. Another way my 8 year old put it: Ask yourself, is what you said something that should have stayed in your head? I ask myself this every day whether speaking or e mailing or posting, and it really helps.
Yeah, could you imagine if we made a work at home commercial
that was truthful? Instead of the serenely peaceful scene with the children playing quietly at your feet while you made $50,000 a year, there would be toys flying everywhere, kids jumping on the furniture, the dog yacking on the carpet, neighbors banging on the door, the phone ringing off the hook, laundy piled up to the ceiling, and a husband whining about something or another.
too true. Spring break is somekind of commercial myth anyway,
Awesome! Here, a local computer repair shop has a similar commercial. Its really funny. nm

It's like when you are driving.
You are so used to it that it's just automatic.
Thank you ALL so much!! This has been driving me...
Must be nice! 58 and only for driving? sm
I've been wearing regular glasses for nearsightedness since 3rd grade. Of course vanity put me into contacts many years ago and suddenly, about 3 years ago, I began wishing for longer arms when trying to read something like the side of a Childrens' Tylenol bottle while I was wearing contacts. I told the eye doctor they were making the print smaller and smaller.
It went downhill so fast from there that I either have to wear my regular glasses to see the computer screen or put on the magnifying dollar store glasses over my contacts. Yes I know, time for bifocals, but who can afford them? 
Truck driving
My friend and her husband drove as a "team" before he passed away. She said it isn't as easy as it looks-- especially if you are a woman. She said she had to back the trailers into the loading docks and all the "macho men" would just stand there and stare at her-- apparently they are too "manly" to have their jobs taken by women. Anyway, she said the driving part was fun, but the company monitors you every second via some kind of tracking device and it isn't like I thought-- that you could stop in various parts of the country, etc. There is a lot of technical stuff you have to know about the truck, maintenance, etc., as well. She said she wouldn't do it again.
Dictating and driving
Can you hear me now?? I have a physician who dictates while he drives,and by the way, his dictation goes in and out so unable to get really what he is saying.
How about while driving home - sm
I used to have one who dictated while driving in his car, I could almost see him with the file on the passenger seat flipping through it while trying to drive and dictate at the same time. I could hear the traffic and his signal light going on and off. I am glad I moved to a different doctor before I got to hear something like him having an accident... Do they even know that there is a person on the other end of the dictation???
Thank you so much, it was driving me crazy
nm
This MD is driving me crazy!
Have you guys ever typed for a doctor who instead of saying period at the end of a sentence, he instead says "full stop". I am about sick of hearing him say that. I have never heard of that. Where do these dictators get this crap from? Please let me hurry and finish typing for this man before I have my hair pulled out!!! 
MD driving me crazy
How about the ones who dictate discharge summaries and they don't have their thoughts together before they sit down to dictate and they are flipping through the patient's chart pausing, eating, and carrying on a conversation with another resident in the same room with them. The dictation ends up being 20 minutes long but you get 400 lines out of it. Drives me nuts!!!
Driving directions...
Why am I not surprised?
song
Is it by hank williams junior. All my rowdy friends or something like that. Just thought I would try to help.
do you know this song?
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
'Cause that's the night that my sweetie and I
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don't mind Sunday night at all
'Cause that's the night friends come to call
And Monday to Fridays go fast
And another week is past
But Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing a lonely song
and everything seems wrong
you know saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
and I sing a song for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you nocking at my door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night
Saturday night is the doggone lonelest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Song came first...
Charlie Manson thought it was a message to him to do what he did (actually he wasn't man enough to do it himself he had his groupies do it)
This song says it ALL ! (sm)
As I was driving home tonight, I heard a song on the radio that says it all about the current situation in the U.S., especially for the (former) middle class! It's called,
"We Can't Make it Here" by James McMurtry.
You can find it on Limewire, among other places. Every word of his song packs a punch because they're so true.... very few of us in the U.S. are making it anymore, thanks to greedy CEOs. Check it out !
song
I listened to this song and you are so right, the song says it all!
OH YEAH I love the whole CD while I am driving!!

Oh, yes, I hate driving on the freeways
To think I used to do it everyday. I do think the traffic has gotten worse though, not just at rush hour anymore, and people have gotten crazier. DH says it's because I don't have to do it anymore everyday, but I really think it's worse. I go out as little as possible on the freeways, and with the price of gas, I try to combine as much as I can, and stay close to home anyway. It's hard not to become a hermit.
You think there are no responsibilities involved in driving a bus? sm
What about all the lives they are responsible for in the bus and on the ground? Most bus drivers are considered "professional" drivers. They must study for, pass tests (written and driving), and maintain a CDL license (commercial driver), pass regular physicals. This also entails no drinking, etc., on time off work as they are subject to random testing. Very insulting. That is the pay scale in NYC, everybody there makes more money.
not suggesting we quit driving, just think.....sm
I just think if we grew more corn, turned corn into fuel, we'd drive that way and NOT POLLUTE either.......*S*
my kids are driving me crazy...
cant wait til school starts again...
Driving a van was actually considered "cool"

yikes ! ESL driving me nuts
 Just a quick vent - for the last 45 minutes I have mostly been listening to the sound of her breathing with an occasional "continuing dittation" thrown in here and there followed by more breathing . I even heard someone in the background say "You can push 1 to put it on pause" which she does for a split millisecond and then continues back with her breathing/"continuing dittation" pattern. Not having a good day today.  Beam me up Scotty, Please ! 
Driving to Children's Hospital with my mom - sm
who was visiting at the time, and going to my then 3-y/o's speech therapy. Also had my other daughter with us, then 18-months-old. We heard on the radio that a plane had hit one of the Twin Towers, at the time we thought it was like a Cessna or something like that, found out quite differently when we got to the hospital and watched it all unfold on the TV in the waiting room.
Sorry but truck driving is going south also
Also had hubby as truck driver, as well as done team driving --the rates there are going down as many are coming over the borders and able to drive for less. So that profession has dropped 50% as well or at least held its own over the past ten years which is not a progression at all. Even owner-operators are seeing a decline. So it is hitting everywhere.
This is trivial but driving me insane
I saw Matt Lauer named his new son Thijs. Does anyone know how this is pronounced? I can only think of "thigs" (rhymes with figs) and that just seems too weird to name anyone.
I will be shortly - school bus driving - sm
$60 a day for about 3 hours of work, about the same I make for MT. I will be very PT at first as I am only a substitute once I finish my training (10 hours of driving with students is all I have left to do). But eventually I will have my own route, then I will probably cut back to about 300 lines a day, or about $600 a month. Don't want to over do it.
my shortand is driving me nuts
It's running so slowly behind what I am typing that I am really messing up and have not even added that many items to it yet. I need it for a job I have that you cannot use autocorrect, which I love, but have to use shorthand. Is there something I can adjust so it does not lag so far behind
This doctor is driving me crazy... sm
I hear a lot of crazy crap in the background, we all do but this is the first time that I have had a doctor listening to Christmas music - in August. She has it up so loud that I can barely hear her and every now and then, while she is flipping pages trying to get her sh*t together, she will sing along.
Now I love Christmas and Christmas music but this is a bit early even for me. She is driving me batty. 
I have to vent! ASR is driving me up the wall!
When I was started on ASR, I was told it was strictly "voluntary" and that if I did it, I would get a "mixture" of ASR reports and straight MT. Well, not the case. Now everyone has to learn ASR and every report I get is ASR-- even the most horrible of horrible dictators. I keep fixing the same mistakes over and over and ASR has "learned" nothing from the corrections. I still think it is all a ploy to put ALL the dictators on it, no matter how bad they are, just so we will make the same per line as the Indians. My last shift, I had exactly ONE very short report that was not on ASR and all the rest were. Just as soon as I can find another job, I am out of MT altogether. They have totally ruined what used to be a good profession with all their "progress". Well, they can have it!
I will never tell my favorite song, never, never!
Hint: It is a Christmas carol for MTs.
beatles song
Got to be "We can work it out" sentimental reasons, from high school!!
Do you know the song, Complicated?
Hope this works ----
I want him to sing that song
