Trouble with links on these forums anybody?n/m
nm
Someone please tell me what I need to change in NAV to get the left sided links back for the forums
I found over the w/e if I disable my Norton Internet Security and go to Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files and click on Delete All Off Line Content, and choose ok, I can get the links back on the left (in the blue area) but they won't stay. I assume I need to change something in Norton's Internet Security, but what?? Does anyone know? I have tried lots of things and can't seem to find what it is that will make this a permanent change as it won't stay this way.
Please help. TIA.
It is hecka good. All over the geek help forums
I've got it on trial right now myself, and it has cleaned up some stuff for me that AVG, SpyBot, and Ad-Aware passed right over.
First free trial of something on-line I've had that I think I really am truly inspired to buy after all (whenever I can afford it).
The good news about links...sm
"missing" on that site is that you can add more yourself. That appears to be the whole purpose of the site - to provide links to references (ergo MTReference) that one might need while working.
Anyone can find anything on the internet; you're right about that. But I'd prefer not to be worried so much about that and more worried about doing my job correctly with appropriate references and answers.
Don't register if you are not interested in the site. I, for one, appreciate that it is there.
does anyone have good links for lab/path words and
equipment words and pharmaceutical words? I hate to spend so much on books that can't be kept current. I found accessdata.fda.gov and rxlist.com in a post farther down and already have them book marked. TIA!
You'd find links to some good ones on this site

All MTs should band together
and do something (not sure what) about this! This is a disgusting tragedy. I was averaging $19 to 20 per hour and now that our hospital uses that Cheating MQ program, I can't even get 13.50 and am ACTUALLY GETTING MORE REPORTS DONE WITH THE GREAT DQS PROGRAM!!
So, the hospital is getting much more work for much less money out of ME. This has to change! I'm looking, though.
Lap band
Attended a seminar in Fl, cost is about 18,000, most insurance will not pay. Recuperation time is much shorter, can go back to work in 2-3 days, lose about 2 lb a week, if you lose too much band is adjusted - after about 18 months you catch up with someone who has had gastric bypass because their weight loss is mostly in the beginning.
S-marked band Is this right???

Esmarch bandage
I think the name of the band was "Live".

I saw an infomercial (sp?) on LAP-BAND sm
surgery. It sounds pretty interesting--a lot less invasive than gastric bypass surgery.
Has anyone here ever had it done? I wonder how expensive it is since I'm sure most insurance companies won't pay for it and whether or not it really works.

Here's 2 facts- the Lap-Band.....sm
The risks of the Roux-en-Y include organ failure and death.
The risks of the Lap-Band do not include organ failure and death.
I type this everyday for 2 years now so the facts come from the professionals and not me. 
Lap band surgery
Has anyone had this surgery recently. My insurance says it absolutely will not pay for this but the surgeon says he can get approval from any insurance company with his documentation, do you think this is possible? Has any one had an insurance company say no and then authorize it later?
Possibly Esmarch band?
Google is a good resource for looking up terminology.
Get a belly band. They sell them on e-bay! sm
There is a thing called a belly band. Breeders use these for their males to prevent them from hiking in the house. It is a band that goes around their belly and you put a mini pad or panty liner to absorb the "wee wee" They are usually between $8 to 10 and are machine washable and you can get the mini pads or panty lines for about $1 per package. I used doggy diapers on my girl puppies when they were small and also when they are in heat. They work great! I especially used them when we went to stay at a relative's house and she had brand new carpet and my shih-tzu was just a baby and not yet potty trained. Hope this helps you. Just try searching the web or e-bay for belly bands or doggie diapers. For a male, you want a belly band.
The band is Fuel, the same Hemorrhage he did
was by them. I just wish this stuff would go away. Good Lord there at thousands of things more important like AIDS, world peace, hunger, genocide.
I agree. When my DD was in school band, I was better SM
about remembering Memorial Day, as she has to march in several parades. Now, it just seems like it is another day for everyone to drink.
The #1 reason to wear an arm band.
My doc says "I did a rectal exam to make sure we had the right patient".
There has to be an easier way.......
Rock band names (sm)
For medical terminology as band names, I've always been fond of:
Stable to Rock
and
Uterine Cry (Goth, I think)
Not just here, but on other forums
people have nothing better to do that trash others.
FORUMS!!
Tired! Yes, I spent "forever" over there. Those are truly special and I found myself "lost in the forum world" and before I knew it over an hour had gone by! Now, the trick is to save up some quality time to learn what I want it to do for me, what I already know and how it applies to that program, and then learn what I need to know and USE IT! Do you use it with IT? I think I want to go over to those forums again right now and I need to stop myself because it is 11:15 and I have to get up early! I don't know, but I may stay up all night if I dare go there! I saw where someone on the forum wanted to import their glossaries and other lists and had trouble, but do you know if you can save your glossaries as text files and import them that way like in RN? I really miss DOS too, and find that finding paths in Windows is not too straightforward in every case, but still am looking forward to finally letting go of my "obsession" with PRD and DOS. I guess I am old, but still it worked so well and it wasn't "broken" so why did they change everything to Windows stuff? Could you hear the whine in that? Sorry! I need to shut up now and either go to bed and get sleep or go over to that forum and learn stuff! Thanks again for making my entire year with that advice!
Don't you have to have insurance to have the bypass surgery or the lap band? sm
It may take her more than 4 months to even get a start on checking into surgery.
My understanding is that you have to have exhausted all other weight-loss options before you can even THINK about surgery. Then you have to have psych eval, CPE, lab work etc. The BMI also plays a part as well as various co-morbidities. If she has until 2/2009, it may very well take that long just to get into a doc, surgeon, psych etc. and then the insurance company has to authorize it to boot.
Good luck Siren, I hope all works out well for you.
Yes, distractions such as forums are
real time/line-stealers. I'm not working today and have some online research to do so I'm here today more than usual.
Good luck!
Did you look under forums on this site?
There is a new site for Billers/Coders.

Does anyone know of any legal transcription forums
The nastiness had some attention on other forums, and seems to (SM)
have toned down. Good Luck! Small steps add up to big things. And, "Well-behaved women rarely make history."
This issue has gotten out of hand. See the available forums to
the left and if your question or comment fits in any of those categories, please post there. Perhaps you do not understand how the back end of discussion forums operate, but simply put, when one forum is jammed with posts it bears heavy on the server. This is why we have a variety of boards to choose from.
Thread locked.
Any word on why we have no forums at the left yet? nm

I have seen the forums in the left colum all along.
It is a javascript. Do you have javascript enabled?
I just think boards/forums are a place to hit
Did you try going to the general escription forums?
Is it Willie that moderates it? Anyhoo, someone in there asked about getting a USB adapter a while back. Maybe one of the techs can help you. I would LOVE to be able to use my laptop with a pedal.
Just went out and bout The Band greatest hits and listening right now to the Weight.
I use a craft glove with an extra long wrist band
purchased at wal-mart and they help ALOT.
I've used it. There are a ton of knowledge base forums out there
where you can research your results.
Do a Google search for comments on other forums. Don't think they

There are several forums to post on at the Religion link.
I wouldn't call it "fragmented". The poster can ask his/her question on more than one religion board and receive a variety of responses in which to make an informed decision.
And they can by either posting on the Religion forums or contacting the Administrator.

All ForuMatrix forums are owned by the same company. The songs that were

As per your request, Pets and Entertainment forums have been added.
