U love beta fish? Aren't those the ones that kill
I remember my exhusband always had Japanese beta fish when we were married. As I recall, if my memory serves me well, these specific male fish impregnate the female fish and then when she has the babies, the beta (male) squeezes all life out of the mom and kills her after she has the babies. Just the idea of this made me hate this type of fish 4ever.
Just one person's opinion though! No flaming please! *LOL*
What temperature do you normally cook your fish at. I find sometimes that in the oven the fish seems
to have a lot of or water coming out and it doesnt get done nicely. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Isn't it cute? I love it. sm
Maybe it's a reward system for being pleasant on the board.
Shelly, I love your avatar! Cute!
Love the snowflakes and the pointer - very cute ! nm

How cute MTStars - Love the snowflakes gently falling!! nm

Try taking Fish oil
Try taking fish oil but make sure it molecularly distilled to get all the impurities out of it like mercury. That really does a lot for depression and anxiety and try to cut caffeine and sugar out of your diet. I notice a huge difference with it. It's hard to believe but its true.
Chinese fish
Most of the tilapia in the stores comes from China, catfish also.. Ask your meatman BEFORE you buy and only buy US produced cats and other fish... Its your body you are putting this contaminated food into.
What is Tiger Fish? nm

What kind of fish are you baking? (nm)

Teach a newbie to fish
I don't think it helps them. I started looking at the Word Help board after I read a post earlier this evening about the low-level questions newbies are wanting answers for. One was something like "vigomatic...this is somewhere on the head." Are you KIDDING??? I couldn't believe it. I think it would serve this person much better to give him/her some ideas on how to find the answer rather than to just give the answer away. Just giving the answer away is not really helping them learn anything. It's just letting them copy your homework.
What's that saying? Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
In the earlier discussion I mentioned, someone thought posting on the board (in a virtual situation) was the same thing as asking a teacher for an answer in a classroom situation. Well, I think a great teacher in a classroom situation would do the same thing; i.e., point the student toward the dictionary or the encyclopedia or whatever, not just give away the answer.
I really have to wonder how someone can end up as a working transcriber & not know, or at least have been exposed to, the word "zygomatic" at some point. How did this person get a job? Scary, especially considering how protective we are of our field and how much better at it we think we are than anyone else on the planet.
There are no shortcuts. Every great working Transcriptionist has had to look everything up, has had to go through the unbearable period when getting through one report was like swimming through concrete. Are newbies these days under the impression that there is another way? Because there isn't.
HAHAHA - meaning fish don't use bikes....nm

The RMT is just in beta now
and is meaningless, in any case. Very few employers care whether MTs have a CMT or RMT or whatever. Even fewer even know what a CMT is, and it's a sure thing no one's heard of RMT. The whole certification thing is simply a power grab by AAMT. Their goal is to sponsor legislation in every state that will force every MT to be certified to be employed. Since the AAMT is the only organization offering "certification", guess who will benefit from the whopping fees they will charge to take the test?
re: beta
Could someone who is computer literate please explain this "beta" stuff to me and what it means? Thanks !
I've tried mayo cooking fish - DELISH (sm)
for cholesterol-watching husband, JUST DON'T TELL HIM - he'll never know
what is this beta-thing...
RMT Beta Exam
How many of you are taking the beta exam for the RMT credential? Are you planning to take the final version after beta testing, or will you not take it at all? I'm curious. I received email notice that they have openings until June 1st. Should I bother? I know that many companies ask whether or not we are certified, but do you think it will come to their asking if we are an RMT also? Any and all opinions welcome. Thanks!
How about grilled fish like salmon? Add a glass of wine and you're all set!

Don't complain! I spent years married to the coldest fish around....

I work as a beta tester and they pay me to do it.

I don't believe anyone would pay the 90-somethng bucks to do a beta SM
test which is practically useless.
Well I too have been selected for the beta test-sm
I am absolutely thrilled about this test and once I have 2 years acute care experience I will write the CMT as well. To me it is very well worth the $95 US to write the test, even the beta test. This is something that I would like to achieve.
No, it is not for everyone. No, not everyone wants to spend $$ to take a test. We all have different ideas of what is right for us. For me I want to have those letters behind my name. In a couple of years I would like to trade them in for the CMT.
I know that there are many here who dislike AAMT and are stongly opposed to many of the things that they are doing but I have got to tell you I have gained so much by being a member of AAMT and especially the Online Chapter of AAMT.
If you don't like the fact that there is offshoring going on well that is too bad...it is here and it is probably here to stay. What we can do is offer credentially, such as the RMT, for those in other countries as well so that the can be required to meet a certain level of education and training. I know I gonna get yelled at here for this one, but this is my opinion.
Beta test? Can you elaborate on this a little bit more?

I think it's nuts that it's still in beta test but we still would have to PAY to take it. sm
If I'm helping YOU develop your product, I should not be paying! When game developers need people to beta test their games....the game company PAYS THE TESTER! AAMT is absolutely out of their minds.
I tested the beta version
I enjoy using the software. I work in InScribe over half the day and have tons of shortcuts in there. Until now, I could not use those shortcuts in other programs. I imported the InScribe shortcut file to Ditto and now I use those shortcuts in WordPerfect and Word. The shortcuts work in e-mail, also. The pop-ups are not annoying - they go away after a few seconds if you do not respond to them. You can do functions with it, also. I have not tried whole blocks of text. For me, it's worth the price. I think you can download and try it before purchase.
Beta testers needed for MPLite
The beta testing for MPLite has been going well. Phase 3 of the beta testing will begin on Wed or Thurs of this week.
We are soliciting 2 or 3 additional volunteers for this final phase of beta testing, and anticipate this phase to last no longer than a week. Volunteers should be experienced working transcriptionists, but not so busy that they don't have time to read the help file, and set things up in MPLite. We need the testers to actually work in the program, and not just look at it.
Testers will receive MPLite free of charge, and all subsequent releases of MPLite free of charge. If you have the interest and the time to assist us, please send an email to support@mpword.com
Most likely, MPLite will be a the most popular program we have ever produced. For a preview of it, see our website:

Best wishes,
Vann Joe
Beta is usually a program that is in the development stage
where lots of people use the program to test it out to help make it better and fix all the bugs before the final release.
Anyone else get an email from aamt about REGISTERED MT beta test?
Seems pretty stupid to me.
Beta-blocker the patient is a candidate for the (SOUND LIKE) cavatidall???

Too cute
Giggle. Next you'll be telling us you're qualified as Chief of Staff at the hospital you nurse at and transcribe for. Chuckle. (Reminds me of the saying, Jack of all trades, master of none.) Chuckle.
Cute!
Good one!

Cute, but THAT will be the day!

too cute!
And I totally agree!
That's cute...
But outsourcing to India doesn't concern me on iota. Remember ..... they speak a different language than we do and when doctors here hire them, they get exactly what they pay for, which, when you add all things in, they charge for basically equal pay for a real sloppy job........
Never fear, my dear.....India's a joke......
That's why they'd much rather work call centers and do - more money for less work. Much easier to speak it - albiet half azz - than transcribe it.
LOL!! Cute.

That's cute! I got a second dog for the
older dog as a playmate and they are stuck like glue now. I wasn't too sure about it at first, the older dog is a Golden and the little guy is a Cocker, but it has worked out. Now the older dog is in his second puppyhood, gets into mischief just like the little guy and teaches him all the good and bad ropes. And of course, they don't tell on each other when the Kleenexes are shredded on the floor. In fact, the new dog was such a stinker that I went to midnights just to get work done. Couldn't let him out of my sight for a minute. I took 2 hour naps during the day when he slept, otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten anything done. He's much better now that he is a year old.
