I am glad you had such a belly laugh, but the fact is...sm

I have been doing this for many years, was paid 11 cents a line (yes as a subcontractor) but left that company because their software was so obsolete it slowed me down). I am currently making 10.5 cents a line (yes again as a subcontractor). So I know there are companies that pay well...maybe your attitude is what keeps you from being employed by one of them. I am not a hateful or confrontational person by nature but I feel I asked an honest question and you simply attacked me, I do not understand why.

Thanks for the belly laugh... almost wet myself with that comment! :) NM
Glad to see you keeping your spirits up. Gotta laugh to keep from crying, eh?
No, actually they don't. You guys run on emotion, not fact. And when fact is presented,

should've been good laugh not could laugh

Soft belly (sm)
What I'm saying is the doc feels around for position sometimes and that's probably why he said soft. Contractions make it hard, oh, and also huge babies, like mine. Ouch!!
Spheris belly up
Tried to reply early..new at this so if duplicate, I apologize. Personally I am thrilled to see India down for personal/selfish reasons only related to Spheris. Spheris is purposefully abusing their good MTs, forcing all difficult work on them at no compensation while they aggressively train India and the grossly underpaid new grads from Career Step at 0.55/line. The US MTs for Spheris are only temporary, but Spheris has not bothered to tell them as they must USE and ABUSE them for a bit longer. Their SEC filings and plans clearly state they are aggressively training and pushing more work globally for the SOLE purpose of saving money and cutting MLS cost. Since 2006 they have lost money, more debt/revenue ratio, so in cutting costs, they are giving up quality for the dollar bill and outsourcing more work overseas. Once India is up and running, another 2000 MTs on top of an already 6000 they are trianing now, the US MT will be forced out. If the laws change, which are in congress now, that a hospital/clinic/doctor must inform the patient that their work is outsourced overseas and the patient given the right to refuse (and who wouldn't refuse?)....and hospitals pull back their India work, Spheris will belly up so fast their heads will spin leaving a large number of US MTs out of work and drenching the market. Personally, I'd like to see all the good MTs quit at the same time, and the clients discover the grossly diminished quality of their document, and search out a reputible company to do their transcription. I'm gone, after nearly 7 years with Spheris...wanting out before all Spheris MTs see what is happening and drench the market. I would never recommend anybody apply with Spheris, unless you like abuse, forced overtime, underpay, and that your quality by 200% better than India so the clients never catch out to how much bad work they are really getting.
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.
dog hiking leg - use belly bands
there are many places to get belly bands for boys and prissy pants for girls.
you can use sanitary napkins in them and then toss when used.
feel free to contact me if you cannot find such using google.

If you have your belly button pierced, where do you buy

Have ya'll ever had it really help your belly, esp your upper abdomen?nm

No belly. Full coverage, as previously stated.
I did not say I looked like a teeny bopper or hooker. I said I traded my stretch shorts and t-shirts for denim shorts and a tank top. Yeah, the shorts are somewhat low rider because they don't come up to my bra like the stretchy shorts do, but they've got a full rise that covers the crack and belly button.
Oh, no! I must be a wanna-be trampy teenager! Maybe next I'll go out and get some red satin thongs, a belly button ring and a butt tattoo because y'all are jumping on me like that's what I'm trying to do. If you can't understand the concept of "full coverage", stay out of the conversation.
Prefer Tarzan over a speedo with a beer belly!

Belly button rings just look plain nasty on older woman, trying to act young.

Honestly, I send my kids to public school. They've never had a belly ache either.
must you be so full of yourself?
Glad I could help and glad you got your setup going. nm

glad to help, glad it worked!

Please don't laugh....sm
Do not use suppositories vaginally......
If you are not vomiting, also, try something oral. If you are, patience I'm afraid is the only answer unless you become dehydrated, at which time you can receive something IM or IV.
But, a definite NO on the suppository question.
Feel better soon!
A little laugh
 I told my 18 yo son today about a close family friend and his wife had a baby boy today and that he called me right away to let me know because he was so excited. My son looked at me and said, "Yeah right mom, really, he had a baby today." I looked right back at him and said, "Yes son, it takes both people to have the baby, a girl certainly can't get pregnant by herself!"
This is funny to me because I know my son not sexually active yet (remember I know his girlfriend) and I certainly didn't expect to hear something like that, just reminded me of the little boy my young man still is. 
For a laugh
and to see if any other MTs had times where they didn't want to disturb their beloved pets during a workday and made the same sacrifice. Lighten up. Was just a funny moment, that's all.
laugh
great1!!! loved it!! he he he. LOL.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh!

Thanks for the laugh
now there's an innovative use for the BOS and something it is good for! LOL
thanks for the laugh!! nm
All you can do is laugh...if you don't
you'll just go insane!! LOL
Thanks for the laugh!!
I kind of like the story, too!
What a laugh
Don't laugh!
I cut it all off with a steak knife and eat it with a fork! How does one eat corn vertically? Huh?
I have to laugh at this
What you're asking is like Gateway asking Dell, Coca-Coca asking Pepsi or Marriott asking Hilton to hand to them on a silver platter information to get their business off the ground so they can compete with the other. Rotsa' ruck pal!
Have to Laugh
Rather than be upset, annoyed or anything else I can be for this ESL that sends a 25 minute dictation, with pauses, very strong dialect, and grammar issues ending up to be a 1.5 page report - I had to laugh, when he started giving me the punctuation too - as far as he is concerned this is one long paragraph with commas and semi colons just about every third word. No kidding. Too bad they ask that I clean it up - so many times he want shis work VERBATIM - and he dictates his instructions with force during his tirade.
Just have to laugh.
I so enjoy this board!
Okay, here's a laugh for you (sm)
This is a verbatim account and it would serve them right if I transcribed it the way it was stated. "Chest x-ray of the right foot is pending." I don't know how they teach anatomy in his country but it certainly is different from here. 
Thanks for the laugh :-) nm
Proofreading and had to laugh. sm
In one of my word programs I noticed I apparently typed does not too fast and it came up as "doe snot." The spellchecker didn't pick it up.
After I got done laughing about the poor female deer with post nasal drip, I entered a quick correct in my expansions.
That's SO funny. Thanks for the laugh!

Need a good laugh? Here goes...
My friend e-mailed me information on this guy posted on a singles dating site. Here's the scoop on him:
- Hasn't worked in over 2 years but "looking as I've run out of money."
- Wife died theoretically suddenly in September.
- He's losing his home next month to foreclosure and is looking to move anywhere he can.
I reckon' that since he has a pulse he considers himself a good catch, eh ladies? Sounds like a true moocher to me who is looking for someone with a home that he can move into and probably expect you to pay the bills! I'll stay single forever as opposed to letting someone like that into my life. I don't know many people who have a spouse die suddenly that are looking to hook up with another person within 2 months... much less the other red flags! My friend wasn't serious that I should be interested in him - she just thought that I'd appreciate the fact that at least I'm not THAT desperate to hook up with someone!
gotta laugh
I was actually a triple-D which is an F before I had reduction surgery. So was my daughter who also had the surgery!
Did anyone else laugh when they saw Tatum O on (sm)
Dancing with the Stars? She was an actress, she said. She didn't have to compete with others or work to get the acting jobs, thanks to daddy Ryan, LMAO! Maybe that is why reality TV is becoming so popular. People would rather watch reality TV than bad acting. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Okay, now who is going to defend this woman who had her most embarrassing moment....
thanks for the early a.m. laugh...NM

Thanks for the laugh. Had some doozies...
These Expanders can wreck havoc when not turned off.
I'm offended that you laugh about it
Have you checked into seeing what is required of someone to become a fellow of the AAMT? It is a lot of work, believe you me. And, it is not just the education--it's community service, holding offices in the organization, as well as the continuing education part of it.
I work for a surgeon who is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. It works basically the same way---they have to prove that they have completed so much continuing education, hold offices in organizations, community-type services, etc.
Basically, just being a "fellow" just means that you've gone above and beyond what an ordinary person in your organization does. Honestly, I think it is an honor; a matter of distinction, even if it is just AAMT. It just sets yourself apart from everyone else; says that you are a hard worker.
Thanks for the laugh!! Very funny!
Got to laugh, I'm 5' tall......sm
Been so short, my feet rarely hit the floor in a restaurant, a train, and especially in a plane they do not reach. I never minded being short until I hit my 40s.....and those top kitchen cabinet shelves cause I probably stopped CLIMBING in my 40s. *LOL*...had my kid(s) climb to get things, but then they moved out...*lol*....so I try not to store things on those top shelves that I need on a regular basis.
Also, not that I'm that overweight cuz I'm not these past 10 years, but I always said I'm not overweight, I'm undertall...*L*
Please tell your b/f that I thank him for being a considerate soul....a rarity in this life, eh? 
I pop on there now and then when I want a good laugh. Most of
the videos posted are absolutely ridiculous.
thanks for the laugh - you got the right idea

Cardiology MTs will laugh at this
I found this on YouTube yesterday and wanted to share. It's done by med students and is reall well written and funny. I don't do cardiology, but still got a big kick out of it (and learned some things).

Oh so true! Thanx for the laugh NM
xx
now you did make me laugh....sm
because i haven't thought of Bosco since I was a kid - and it's been a pretty long while since I was a kid!!
Agree, but it's either laugh or cry...
Of course I'm not upset with you. It's one of those situations where it's so ludicrous you can't help but laugh at the irony of it all.
It's kind of like if becoming an attorney, someone says "Knowledge of the law is helpful, but not a prerequisite," or if becoming a physician, "Knowledge of anatomy helpful, but not a prerequisite."
I can't even wrap my brain around it. I just baffles me to such a degree that I can't help but laugh at it..."preposterous" is an understatement.
HA. That made me laugh and cry.
I'm German so I guess I am at the bottom of the hiring list. 
Thanks for the laugh!!! That was great! nm

You guys are hilarious. Thanks for the laugh!
