see it is I'll be working until I'm at least 70, so I have a good 30 years left to work! Funny thing is I'll be going to college at the same time as my oldest 2 children which is kind of neat!!

I had been wondering the same thing
I couldn't figure out what she meant.
I have been wondering the same thing..
who are the new owners, and how do we find out who they are? And if that is the case, why are we all back here after her site was hijacked, stolen, and then started back up with new owners? I am confused and can't make heads or tails of all of this.
I saw that article. I was wondering the same thing
you were. I, for one, wouldn't be able to tell you the size of the left atrium on the spot. There are a lot of things I could catch, but many, like things like this, we have to trust the expertise of the doctor.

If I need to learn things like the size of the left atrium, etc, then I want to be PAID commensurate with a doctor! Alas, we are NOT paid the same as a doctor. We are paid to get on paper what HE says, fixing grammar and alerting to possible descrepancies. That's how I feel about that.
I was wondering the same thing about Canada.....

I was wondering that too--- the only thing I could think of was "medical examiner" - which doe

I was wondering the same thing. Can you go into more detail about the Wifi sm
Is this like a credit card thing or what? Where do you get it/cost? I will be doing a lot of camping this year and will need to download files and work while still connected to the internet.
Un no, not Kiki...but I am southern! sm

we all use those words down here...and by "thang" I meant like "aint nothing but a thang..." which means really not that important...just FYI...NOT Kiki...whoever that is...


No, Kiki, you're not too old...
I think you're at the perfect age where you have the patience and discipline needed to actually do great in school and finish your studies.  We are all, it seems, having to work to an older age than expected, so you still have a lot of time to graduate and get out there and work.  I say go for it .
Kiki, anyone who does not do VR has no idea
and don’t think you or I can change any minds here. Some are so dead set against it they respond by saying only newbies can do or saying it works well with people who normally type slow. I know what it takes to do as well as you and not a romp in the park. People who are in the dark and really hoping their companies do not go to VR are the ones who will come here talking about the lack of experience needed to do this job. I would love if I could just hold my foot on the pedal and let it run but not the case. Maybe when their companies switch over, then they will know what we are talking about.
LOL! I have to laugh, sorry, my mom used to use the word kiki
for something that was bad or icky, like poop, when I was very small. It was pronounced kee-kee. LOL!
Kiki's foot pedal
Kiki, I really feel badly that you cannot even ask an innocent question on these boards anymore.  I asked an innocent question the other day about a word.  I have been in the business for almost 20 years and had a doc make a point of spelling something that I had spelled differently for years.  Then I got confused.  I looked it up, but was pretty sure I had the right spelling.  Because I was confused, I asked for help.  Someone replied very nicely and confirmed that I had been spelling the word correctly, but then I got a nasty response from someone else accusing me of having no reference books.  I don't get why people bother to reply if they are going to be nasty.  Isn't that what these boards are for?  For us to help each other out?  Why bother asking for advice just to have people jump all over you?  Anyway, Kiki, I can't help you out about the foot pedal.  I hope you are able to get some advice from someone who is trying to be helpful. 
Welcome to the club, NN...
Instead of Sloan Kettering, I typed Sloan Cattery multiple times in a report.  I worked at a veterinary school and it made sense to me.  Luckily the boss caught it before it was sent.  But, yes, with the volume of reports most of us produce in a day, there are bound to be some errors. 
If that is Yuck's club no thanks
her idea of cool is sitting and popping her pimples all day and then having her husband pop the ones on her fat butt all night.  That is why he left ya know.   Well, one of the reasons anyway. 
Yep. -- Welcome to the protectors club.
Sounds like me too.
How about Celebrity Fit Club??
Does anyone get into that?  I think this season will be good.  I'm Tempestt Bledsoe's age and I loved her in Cosby Show.  Go Vanessa!!  I'm also curious about Young MC.  That's good ole school stuff.  Tee hee.
Celebrity Fit Club
Just finished the show.  Really good.  I have to agree with the poster from earlier today that Tempestt did look wonderful.  She is radiant.  She and Chastity are motivating me.  I'm going to look into that SMASH diet they were talking about.  Who's with me?  No more cookies !!!  No more cookies !!!  Ugh, did I just type that "out loud" ?? 
Sam's Club will get you every time! You cannot
Then it is such a hassle trying to find a place to put it all! I go there to save $ but it just wears me out!
join the club
Age/arthritis? - see a doctor. Out of shape? - exercise. Here are some PT back exercises: http://www.nismat.org/orthocor/programs/lowback.html

Feel better!
18 years.. Can I be in the club?

It pays the bills.  I love it, hence my name!!! 


What about a gardening club?
You might check on-line and see if there are any gardening groups in your area. Or ask neighbors about it. Or you might consider starting a home bible class if there is anything you want to study. They have books to help you at the Christian book store. Or if you have pets, I discovered there are breed and non-breed dog clubs around. You can find those on line for your area.

Good luck!
I got mine at Sam's Club for about $70.
My arms don't adjust and I don't have a headrest, but I do have a high back.   My only recommendation is to be sure you get a chair where the seat and the back touch, not like the cheaper ones where there is only a small back piece and your lower back isn't supported.

Anyone want to do a group savings club?

Just trying to drum up a little motivation.


If we pact to do 100 lines a day more each day that we earn and then put that net amount into savings each paycheck, it can add up a bit!


For me, that would be 500 lines a week or $160 a month gross.  By the time my taxes are taken out, that's about $131 a month net and THAT adds up to $1572 a year! 


Any takers?!  See who earns the most for it or heck even stays with it?! 


  


How about a Marriott Vacation Club villa?
They have several in Orlando. I haven't checked the price recently but I think a 2 bdr villa used to be in the $220 per night range - full kitchen, washer/dryer, everything you need.

Join the club on being confused. With turning us

things are charged, billed, or anything any more.


It just seems like they wanted me to work for nothing to clean up ASR reports.  It was pitiful what they wanted, considering what they needed me to clean up.  I could have typed it faster and better using my word expanders.


I know the Club Med there will not be open until June 2006, if that is of any help. sm

No doubt a travel agent could give you an idea of how things are.  If it was me, I think I'd wait a bit.  They were hit pretty hard, and there is a lot of cleanup, I'm sure.


Wherever you go, have some sun in the fun for me! 


Maybe Surreal Life or Celebrity Fit Club? lol - nm

Mine is a DJ at at strip club and yes, he's a wonderful, trustworthy man :) nt

Lord, preserve me from Sam's Club! That place is dangerous!

exciting, huh? :)
Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)

I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here.  Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics!  ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.


A quote from one of the sites I found:

"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

ALSO wondering
I was just noting recently the whole ASR idea was not working as they originally planned, ALL ASR goes back through the same system from all accounts, and I have been noticing that some "learning" has changed, i.e., it will "learn" what a dictator says, then after going back through the system a couple times it "unlearns" and goes back to being wrong......... maybe they are figuring out it is not advance as well as planned ???
I'm also wondering...sm
if a Dictaphone can be used in place of a C-phone. Does anyone know? Thanks!
Just wondering
Anyone ever get a little b----y with tech support and get talked to by your boss about it?  Tonight I was having nothing but computer problems plus trying to meet a deadline.  This tech support guy was a real winner (not).  He just flat out could not help me, plus I could hear a vacuum running in the background.  I didn't yell or anything but I was quite frustrated and sarcastic.  It's late at night and I'm PMSing!!!  Do they ever "tell" your supervisor when that happens? 
Wondering...sm
Wonder if you would elaborate a little about why Proscript is a great company. I keep a notebook and I like to jot down what is good or bad about the company. Thanks!

Like I said, there's always someone out there with a wise answer...Not Naughty,naughty, and no, it's not my OPINION.  It's a fact.  Polite is polite, rude is hurtful.and nasty. If you don't feel like re-answering questions, be polite and pass them onto someplace where they can get the answers OR don't answer at all.

i worked for a company that wanted the equipment back before i would get my last check. not smart. had to fight for it. just curious where is the company located?
Just wondering, if you used your
phone line for work, such as C phone, would that give them the right to listen in on your phone calls or look at your phone bill? What if they reumburse you for the extra phone line?  Does that give them the right to listen to your phone calls on that line?
Just wondering?

What do you think the hardest account is to type for? 


Just wanted to see if it all ended up being the same..


I know several MTs with MS and I'm wondering if I have
some element of it, too.
Wondering about your

If you don't mind sharing, what is your skin care regimen like?


I am only asking because my husband and I have been going round and round about the fact that I buy Oil of Olay Total Effects and the Total Effects eye gel, plus the night cream.  He thinks I'm crazy, that they don't work. I say why take the chance that they DO work and miss out on the benefits.


I'm going on 37, but think I look pretty good for my age. Just wondering if anyone else buys into these notions that these products can help us *age gracefully*. I don't want to look like I'm in my 20s cause I'm not...I have a son who's almost 19...so I'm proud of my age, just don't necessarily want to look quite as old as I am....thanks and have a wonderful day!


Thank you. I was wondering how this could be done. nm

I'm wondering...
if this onslaught of deaths of original characters is leading up to the end of the show?  Has anyone heard if this is the last season?
What I was wondering
is staying in the LA area with all of the nerve gas floating around?  Maybe that just adds to everything.  I like the place they are living in too.

I read in your post that you "don't agree with people who use it [abortion] as a form of birth control."  I was wondering why.  Is it because you feel that one abortion is OK, but more than one will make it wrong, and if so, why was the first one not wrong? 


Or, is it because abortion is too expensive and just too much on the woman's body to use as a form of birth control?  I don't understand your comment and wish you could explain how you arrived at that.  Thank you very much.

Just wondering if anyone has gotton a job without having to take a medical transcription course?
Yes, I was wondering and
I hope you get what you pay for, Service. I hate to see folks like you bragging about getting applicants to do work for nothing. This makes me sick.

What comes around goes around. I hope you enjoy your status at this time, because things like this surely come back to haunt you.

Excuse me while I go BARF!
i was wondering the same, and
was told 'no'. So, what i did (had to start w/new computer) is open notepad and minimize it. Then bring up my favorites. One by one i'd click on a favorite. Then i'd copy and paste from the address bar onto notepad. It actually went real quick. Then it printed out the notepad info and as i needed these sites on the new computer, just typed the addresses in my address bar and re-added to favorites. That's the best way i found to transfer the info.
was wondering who would ask :}~
Yes, I typed the banner advertisement exactly as they had it. I wondered if someone would try to pin that one on me lol!

BTW, did you watch it? It had the person who went to India feeling very enlightened for the Indians and happy for the new opportunies they have, and more grateful for his own "wealth", including the loss of his job. hmmm...but of course, he stated how they were brain washed in order to do the call center jobs...
Was wondering about this....sm

I want to use my laptop full time but not sure if I should leave plugged in all the time or what.  I read somewhere it wasn't good to leave laptop plugged in all the time with the battery in place.  Sounds like you use the laptop on battery power, then plug in and use plugged in until battery charged?   Seems like a lot of plugging/unplugging if battery only lasts two hours.  I don't want to shorten the battery life, would like to keep it optimized for when I want to use the laptop on battery power only while away from home.
