I'm not that powerful. sm
Honey, you take yourself way too serious. You took my statement way out of context in the first place. And if you have never been "as offended in all your years by someone or something" as by my post which meant no harm to anyone, you've led a very sheltered life, or have a chip on your shoulder the size of your Empire State Building.
I didn't know I was that powerful! :D :D
I think it is a very powerful program
with a huge learning curve (for me at least) but think it probably is one of the best out there. Wish I had more patience and time!!
Might need a more powerful router, but I don't know
another computer on a family network is downloading movies, games, and music, they will cause the router to knock the connection out, too. This happened to us all the time here, so kiddos are not allowed to download except when I'm not working. But at some point, I was told that we need a more powerful router to handle all the puter action here. NM
Time is a powerful healer.

Oh yeah, denial is a powerful
Bush's Booze Crisis
Has President Bush fallen off the wagon? The National Enquirer reports that Bush, who quit drinking after his 40th birthday, hit the bottle again amid the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe. A worried Laura Bush reportedly yelled at him, "Stop, George!"
Say what you will about the National Enquirer, which isn't exactly a bastion of journalistic credibility, but it's the only explanation for Bush's bungled response to Katrina that makes any sense. http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/63426
There are apparently other "real news sources" about to break this story.
very powerful about pledge of allegiance
Maybe something spiritual or a powerful show tune? nm

To all of you Escriptionist out there...Laptop question. Have any of you found a laptop that you can
thing. I tried one of those adapter that goes from the 9-pin to the USB but when I plugged in the USB my foot pedal did not work right. I know supposedly there is a help section on the escription website that says the adapter may work and how to make them compatible etc but it never worked for me. Has any of you find a solution or a laptop that this foot pedal with work with. I'd like to work while traveling and get a laptop but it never worked on my old one. Ideas??
cost??
Why is Andrews so much higher than Career Step? Do you think it's worth it in the end?
cost?
You will not be disappointed with Career Step. It is affordable, thorough and helpful.
TAT cost
A few years back, we got a mass email out of my office about just how much the out of TAT issue had cost over a particular week...somewhere in the ballpark of over 30 grand for just the top 3 major accounts.
Yes, we've been told that the company has to pay hefty fines to the accounts for not being within TAT. Not sure how it is today, but I can't assume much has changed.
CMT cost?
how much does it cost to take the test to be CMT?
It DOES cost a lot more to be IC - SM
On top of the self-employment tax, etc., you don't get the benefit of your company paying 1/2 of your social security so that is where most of your money at tax time goes to. If you are an employee, they match what you pay into social security so it's not as much. I went through the same thing and decided it was not worth my time to work any extra as an IC. I saw the difference in the taxes I paid. Good luck to you.
You can, but it's going to cost you. sm
Several references on Google that will cost you between $40 and $80 for a search, but it would have to be worth what you're looking for before coming up with that kind of money and I really thing that these sites will not give you adequate information.
Check with your post office. They may not be able to give you information, but if you or someone you know is getting unwanted mail from a P.O. box address, they can stop it for you.

cost
Don't know if you ever got an answer for that. I purchased a model 0421 a couple month ago. While this is an older model, it works just as well as long as you get an honest seller. They are expensive and you tend to go out on a limb when trusting that they one you are buying actually works. I paid $145 for mine. Total w/S&H was 170, which was an excellent deal. Either deal through ebay or this site. You can find them in the 150-175 range. Read instructions on ebay closely some say not tested. I actually emailed a seller and gave him him a number of how to test the machines and he was tickled to death. He had no clue what the machine was for. I would say buy a used one before spending the money on a new one. There are a lot of these floating around for sale that have just been collecting dust because people are downloading off the internet. Nothing wrong with the machine, these people just have no use for the machines right now.
You say it does not cost you anything? How about your
time? That is worth something, isn't it? Time is money in my book that I could be working instead.
It doesn't cost $800 either
Can't imagine a chair more comfortable that it.. i'm sure the Aeron is built much better, though. I noticed it does have a 12-year guarantee.
Sorry! Forgot the cost! They can run anywhere
from $10 to $50 range - definitely under $20 last I saw, which was only a few months ago.
the problem with that is the cost
Before deciding to get a BA in psych, I looked at many different quick fix schools. I was interested in cooking, the cheapest school is 15,000 up front, nine month course. Was also interested in aesthetics, 6000 bucks! If they would offer pay as you go for these schools so you could pay cash, that would be more feasible. Collins college, DeVry, all in the thousands. I pay about 500+ per semester...sure it will take me years BUT I think a BA degree opens many doors. The person who says it doesn't is crazy!
Cost of going digital
I am trying to decide if it's worth it to get a local office to go digital. They don't even have a website, so technology is not their thing. I assume that because of this I would still have to print/drop off reports? Is that right? This is a very small office, so I don't want to spend a lot of money to try to do this. When I try to do an internet search, there is way too much information that is way too complicated. I just want to know what I would need for the most basic setup. Anything advice/help you can offer would be helpful. Thanks! LL
we went last May, cost us a fortune!
Our expenses were for 2 adults....
We actually did one of those timeshare tours so we could get 3 nights free at our hotel. So we paid for 4 nights = $400, there was supposed to be a shuttle going to/from the parks but that didnt work out so we had to rent a car (dont remember how much that was), Disney tickets for a 4-day park hopper pass was nearly $500, Universal 2-day tickets were about $200, cab from the airport was about $80, food was very expensive - about $100 day.
We flew JetBlue & i thought they were wonderful & reasonably priced. I want to say our flight was a total of about $400-500.
All-in-all, I'd say about $2500 for the whole trip including gift shopping & food.
total cost
Total cost of $60 for two phone lines, which includes taxes, etc. It also includes call waiting and voice mail. But my C-phone line has nothing on it, no call waiting, etc. by my choice. First month on my residential phone is free because they are just starting up in my area.
Had you complained that you did not okay all this, they probably would have taken off the cost
:+
I would do the printing and eat the ink cost - sm
write it off of course. If you can, use a separate ink cartridge just for their stuff and keep track of how fast you go through the ink. If it is excessive, then brink it up possibly and maybe you could bill them a printing charge every time you have to buy a new ink cartridge. But I'd probably just eat it regardless, it is not going to hurt your bottom line much and it helps them out (they save time obviously); the little extras help and you could get more work out of it, who knows.
Is the cost less if you are in India. Why do I think it probably is?

Pay their own operating cost sm
This is not for the MT to pay for heaven sakes, this is the MTSO operating expenses, (the cost to do business, it is THEIR CLIENT) It is all a bunch of bull and the MTs are thinking, well--ll okay-yyyy I guess.
Cost and other things
It is a little costly, but don't forget, you are buying food anyhow. It might be a little more, but you won't be buying your Twinkies, etc. ;-)
I did NS after my first baby about 100 years ago and did lose the weight and managed to keep it off until I went to work at home. I don't know how the program has changed since then.
After gaining a whole bunch when I went home to work, I tried WW and lost nearly 80 pounds and pretty much maintained it, up and down 10.
I like WW because they painlessly teach you how to eat right. It's a reprogramming of sorts and it really works.
Whatever you choose, good luck!!
Medispell cost me $39.
Also did not include most drugs.
cost of transcription
I am hoping that someone can help me. I am wanting to go into business for myself. I actually have the physicians lined up, but I am having a problem with cost. It seems to be a big secret on how much MT companies charge the physicians. Is there a ballpark figure? Do they charge by the line or how do they charge? And how much? Any help or information I get can would be helpful. Thanks.
Cost of food
I was spending over $75 a week for three meals and one snack a day and that was over five years ago (not sure how it is now). If you are single, not too bad. If you have to also feed a spouse/family and buy regular food as well it is rough. It works though ;)
DocShuttle. Does it really cost $269 to get it?
Or am I looking at the wrong thing? I'd love to apply for a position that needs this but cannot afford that big a bite in my finances. Any help is appreciated!
Buy by hub by Targus - cost about $80 from a
computer store. This is not an adapter. It has various kinds of ports. I hooked my pedal to it and it worked fine - play, forward and reverse.
4 cpl goes further when cost of living is less. nm
Ditto here...the cost of some her..
favorite things could feed some people for a month! She has no regard for the poor in her own country. You would think with her humble beginnings she would remember a thing or two...guess money can buy a selective memory! I agree, she is a snoot!
A very low cost option without having to
spend a lot of money on hand held units is EZ-Voice. We offer a toll free call in solution for 9 cents per minute REGARDLESS of how many or how few minutes you need per month. We also offer FTP server space. Click on the link below to learn more...
Thanks. I found out that it will cost about $300..sm
to cancel my service early with Direct,or about $320 to upgrade to an HD DVR receiver with Direct. So either way Direct is going to get about $300! Now I just have to decide whether to stay or go with Dish. Hope the HD (limited as it is) is worth it! Thanks for taking the time to help!
Why would it cost $140? inc. labor?
you can do it yourself, it's easy. I doubled mine for about $60, but I think I got another 512 MB or so, then got I think a $20 rebate. I noticed the speed. It's easier to keep multiple programs running and loaded and properly functioning at one time. Multitasking is easier. My work computer is 256, tell me that doesn't suck! I spend half my day waiting, it seems.
Cost should not be an issue!
Do not try to save money by getting a cheaper chair, that is exactly what you will get....Cheap! I have a chair that has 4 different adjustments plus I use a lumbar support. Your back is worth it, don't skimp!!!
I use Maxell NC-II , cost about $30 - sm
Just bought myself 2 pair at buy.com for $30 each --retail is $50. The description is "Maxell HP-NCII Full-size Noise Canceling Headphones". Very comfortable and fit totally over the ear, not tight but fit nicely so you don't feel like your brain will come out of your ears, noise-canceling if you want that (I don't use it). I bought them at Wal-Mart a couple years ago; checked their website though and it does not look like they carry them anymore. Mine are starting to act up (right speaker cutting out sometimes) so I did a search on google, found them at a good price and bought 2 of them, so I should be set for another 5 or 6 years with any luck.
What does it cost you in insurance to be

Cost of living
Could someone live comfortably in the Phillipines on $2000 per month net with adult and 1 teenager?
They probably figured you'd cost too much and
these companies surely do not want to offer anything a USA MT is worth. And they probably would rather insult you by failing you on the test, than your insulting them by refusing their low offer. A lot of us oldies with great quality get the same treatment. Or they say we are prima donnas or something, which really means we are not suckers. LOL.
Not if it's going to cost them more money to
Then they might outsource only when there truly IS a 'shortage of American MTs', and not just because they say there is. It should be cheaper to pay us more than it should be send the work to foreign countries.
Thank you. This is a new Dell which cost an arm and leg.
I will try to find a used or fix my other computer which crashed after I installed "FinallyFast.com" at the advice of NBC news.
Again, thank you for your advice. I nearly installed the beta Windows 7 being offered for free until I went into the discussion forum and saw the problems which were being encountered.
:) I love you guys!
Considering the high cost of living in.....
Florida, you are giving away your services. Out in California they're getting 12-14 cents a line, and that was 5 yrs ago.
More on high cost of living...
That is right about California; in fact, over 15 cents is common, particularly for docs and administrators who are interested in keeping the work local.
That's what ours cost a year ago! Where in the South are you?
I wonder why it's so much there than everywhere else.
????
What does a gallon of gas cost in YOUR town?
$2.39 here. Northwestern Wisconsin. It is pathetic.
It could have easily cost you your life. nt
with cost of living going up and MT wages
How much do you think you would need to make a good living. Meaning enough to cover all bills, enough to put some away for a rainy day, and enough to play, like dinners, hobbies, maybe a weekend getaway twice a year. Be realistic. I'm thinking for me, since i'm single, 50k a year.
Second question. If you hadnt gotten trapped in MT, what profession do you see yourself in maybe even earning way more than you can imagine, doing what you love? For me, it would be psychotherapist.
anyone??? ANYONE ???
