LOL ... 8 pm central, NBC ... but not in Little Rock or some town nm

I live in a very small town...
and it is so scary to think about all of this, even here. Just 30 minutes away from us this week they put several schools on lock down because there was a "fugitive" on the run. As the other poster said, it is such a scary time when we cannot even feel safe sending our kids to school. I thought living in a small town would be better, but the Amish community issue has quickly changed my mind of that.
Are they in a really small town in Georgia?

Sounds like my small town!
Except we actually have 2 choices, cable internet and then Embarq. Embarq is the only choice we have for phone service.

I got fed up with the cable service and switched a few months ago to Embarq, it has not gone out one single time. I am extremely pleased I switched.
Our small town Wal-Mart doesn't do that.
There is a person at the door in case the buzzer is activated but I have never been asked to show a receipt unless the buzzer has gone off.
Mine doesn't either, and they are not small town, any of them. nm

Depends where you live? Small town big city? sm
Hospital billing?  Clinic billing?
I wouldn't worry about it, unless you work in a small town.
I can't see any big hospitals or doctor's offices going back to that.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for all the information. Central, Small, Red nothing comparative to Superb: ht
I really liked your comments here. I hope you're going to update your site soon. when Stake Make Slot Compute , White Soldier becomes Full Opponents in final Green, Central, Beautiful nothing comparative to Universal , when Table is Chair it will Loose Chips Bad, Small, Collective nothing comparative to Astonishing
I live in a small Southern town and they have posted pictures of sm
people convicted of passing bad checks in the newspaper. How humiliating would that be?

By posting the bad checks, they see your name, but by posting your picture, they could recognize who you are.
Depends on how busy it is, but our small town Wal-mart has asked me on occasion, even when the
buzzer has not went off. 
small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.

I know a director looking for MTs in central FL
She's an ex-boss who wanted me to work for them but I'm out of state. The facility requires the MTs to be in-state and wouldn't budge on that. She wants to depend on outside services/off-shoring as little as possible and hopefully not at all. Again, another I've found who is nauseated by the whole thing - do I see a hopeful trend? Cardiology background is necessary. Want me to check particulars?

Are they located in Central CA?
I think this place might be local for me.
Central FL hasn't increased at all yet. nm

I'm in North Central Indiana
and have used ATT/yahoo DSL. Not sure if this would work for your or not, but I've used it for years and very rarely have problems.

PS- GO ND
I'm in East Central Indiana and
have Comcast.  When we first had it, it was down all the time.  It turned out to be a faulty modem, which they had supplied.  Once they changed that out, they have been incredibly reliable.  It is very, very rare that they are down, and if they are it is usually less than an hour. 
Maybe in their town.
I can' t say but I can tell you with line rates and incentive pay, I make over 65K at the medical center where I transcribe, located in Nebraska.
Not in my town.
The patient sitters at the local hospital here are not licensed personnel, not even CNAs.  Generally, a high school diploma and short orientation with CPR is all that is required as far as training or credentials.  Also, the usual pre-employment stuff is required--drug testing, preemployment physical, etc.  It also pays less than $10 per hour.
$2.58 for regular in Central Valley, Calif. (NM)

desktop calendar Cozi Central
Check out Cozi Central on the web. I LOVE IT! You use a different color for each family member, so you can see everyone's schedule at once. Or you can select one person's schedule. You can schedule a year in advance, if you want. There's a web version and a PC version. The web version can be accessed from any computer anywhere you go. Cozi Central gave me my life back! It's so easy!
Any info on CTS central trans. serv.??

Can't find anything in archives.  You have to reveal so much with these companies so would like to know about your experiences with them.


Thanks.


We have those names in our town too.

Anyone going out of town tomorrow?
I'm going to Cincinnati 2C my sisters! Yikes! Wish me luck...
We have a place like that in town. sm

It's a teeny little grocery store and their prices used to be off the wall because they were owned by a big grocer (IGA). I never shopped there for anything but meat as it is cut right at the store while you wait or it's fresh in the cooler.


When big Wally World decided to build the Superstore the teeny grocery store decided to buy out from IGA and named it their own market. The prices there now are even cheaper than Wally World and I no longer shop anywhere else. What used to cost $75.00 at the local market costs about $30 because they got rid of the "middle man."


They had to save themselves and they did. I can actually walk there if need be and sometimes I should as the teeny parking lot is usually packed full. The checkout girl (or girls if it's busy) don't wear name tags because we know them. They go to school with our kids. It's like, "Hi Megan, still playing soccer?"


Good for them.


mt seminar in my town
There is a seminar about MT in my town tonight and I wanted to go to see what lies they probably are telling. My son's first ball practice is at the same time. I would love to hear what they are saying up there tonight. Most embelish our wages and it is a shame.
Hospitals in town
I hear sometimes that there are still hospitals doing their dictations with their own transcriptionists, and I'm lucky that I found one through their website... but wondering, just how do you find out who does the hospitals in your city? No one ever advertises in the newspapers anymore and most hospital websites have nothing about transcription. I live in a pretty big city with lots of hospitals and clinics and outpatient surgeries. Surely they're not all outsourced to the Big Greedies.

We have a huge 4 day celebration in our little town

There is something going on from tonight right through until the fireworks on the 4th.  There is a street dance, a bean hole bean supper, a lobster bake and just tons of stuff going on.


Our town is only population 7500, but the celebration has grown to over 30,000 attendees for the 2 hour parade, followed by fun, games, entertainment and music in the park and then fireworks that start at 9:00 and last for hours. It's great fun!


I'm lucky too.  I live just a mile from the festivities, so I'm home for a long time while people are still waiting in traffic. The traffic goes smoothly though.  The events have always been very well organized with our school bus drivers giving free shuttle bus rides.


Happy 4th everyone!
