the minute the lights went out, she would bark continuously until the lights went back on. I put a night light in a socket where she slept and that ended the problem.

We have a cocker spanial who is afraid of storms and afraid of the dark! He is up every night severa
Even with a night light he still gets afraid of the dark and I have to get up and pet him and tell him it is okay, et cetera. He will finally settle and go back to sleep, but will do it again throughout the night. I let him sleep in my room thinking it would help..but it didnt. He is just a big baby, so we love him and try to make him feel as safe as we can. If we have to deal with thunderstorms and the dark we are in for a long night!!
3 dogs here--3 y/o Sib. Husky, 5 y/o Lab/Shepherd mix, and 15 y/o Shepherd
Shepherd's pie (sm)
Haven't had that in years. If you get time, could you post the recipe on the recipe board (I think it is under general boards) Thanks
Shepherd's pie, one of my favorite casseroles.

Fill us in, we are in the dark...sm
What are you talking about, I am lost and am a Country fan.

I used to watch it with my mom all the time too - too funny ! I can still see that guy's face with his fangs !
EST here...NC...dark and it just got done storming, which
this time of year is normal around here. Seems we have a pretty big thunder boomer every day...sometimes two or three times a day. Lightning so bright the street lights go out...
Docs are kept in the dark
When I told my Doc I was leaving the hospital he asked why and I told him. I also informed him of what was really happening with the transcription department and he had no idea at all. All of the Docs are up in arms about the work, but were not told that for awhile it was going offshore, and that we had a lousy supervisor who could care less, but sure covered her rear to her supervisor to make sure she looked good and left us to hang ourselves. She would not support us, but just screamed at us over nothing. My Doc was set straight, and I told him they need to be aware of what was going on and offer help.
Shot in the dark
here, and I know if you knew the answer to this you would have already done it. I sense your frustration, I understand what you are saying. Can you go in to the program files and totally delete the file that stores the tmp files? Maybe if it didn't have anywhere to put them it couldn't store them? Sorry, I'm no programer, but that was the first thing that came to mind.
is it bad to type in the dark??
I like the light on but hubby always walks into the room at night and turns the light off (you can tell who pays the electric bill). I just wondered, is it better on your eyes to type with the light on or off?
I'm in the dark right now! I feel like my
typing speed is just a little faster when it's like this. The whole house is dark, everyone is in bed asleep (except the 2 cats). Now on Saturday mornings when I pull a very early morning shift, it's lights on and wake me up!!! LOL
Love it! It gets dark in Maine in Dec. by 4 p.m.
I hate standard time though. They can leave it as it is now and eliminate going back to standard time in the fall as far as I'm concerned. The clocks always go back right before Halloween too so the little ghosts and goblins have to trick or treat in the dark.
It does mess things up a bit changing over though. Last night my kids were all hungry and I said, "Oh for goodness sakes it's only . . . .. ALMOST SEVEN??"
Oops. . . . "hello, Dominos?" :)

Watched it as a kid all the time with my mother.
Me, too, but it's the dark chocolate. I get up and do something else, have a few bites, and then

I know I'm living in the dark ages, but
what is orchiette? (If you don't mind my asking.)
I'll take anything that's dark chocolate, thanks! :) nm

Talk about the dark ages
I worked as inhouse Transcriptionist from 1973 to 2002 and never, ever had to perform the duties you speak of. I did transcription and that was it. And talking about it being so stressless at home, there are posts here time and time again about people being bothered by the phone, door, neighbors and the children and being unable to work so can work both ways except I never did the first.
I think we were all kidding! Sarcasm - dark humor...

I agree with the suggestion of dark chocolate.
Also, I keep a bag of Hershey's kisses hidden. Whenever I need a boost, I just let one melt in my mouth. I can't eat an entire candy bar or bag of M&Ms. Too much sugar!
Hershey's Special Dark syrup on top of
bananas has been doing it for me lately. Yummmmmmmmm! 
I miss Providence and Dark Angel...lol

Who is the dark haired guy, boyish looking, sang Sinatra? I think he's out

So you have also noticed the light and dark shades in text. I wasnt aware that it was like this when
I bought it. Is there anything to make this better at all. I just bought this whole computer system with LCD screen and I guess I will call them and see what can be done or just get used to it. I like it but not so much having the text look like that. Have you spoken to anyone about yours.
Mine was from my high school test, back in the dark ages.
That's what I was afraid you were going to say.

Why are you afraid?
Why are you afraid to state your business name? You have said yourself that you rather like Indian MTs when compared to US MTs, so why not come forth? Could it be because you really do need the US MTs to run your company and make your bucks?
I'm afraid...
I've been sworn to secrecy. I simply cannot divulge!
I'm afraid...
Janelle lost the final HOH competition and Yvette won, who immediately evicted Janelle, so now its just Yvette and Nurse Maggie. Yvette basically gave the game to Maggie now since most of the evicted guests do not like Yvette and won't vote for her. How dumb! 
I'm just afraid
she'll do it and LOOK OUT when it comes time for her to flash her
@@
if ya know what I mean. LOL
Her and her boyfriend might be approximately Demi and Ashton's ages, but that is the only similarity. LOL
Yes, I'm afraid so...
Tonight at midnight, according to PC World. They said it probably won't do much damage, and is a single person doing it. Weird. U might want to go to Microsoft's web page and get their just released security update for this - I did and I feel all safe and cozy! 
That's what I'm afraid of!! nm

Afraid so, saw one ad for 6 cpl...
I've been trying to get extra work for a while now but I will not work extra hours for what they are offering, especially when it is left over stuff and late hours.
I'm not afraid
I am just a very private person and I do not want other people knowing my business unless they have a NEED to know it.
If you want to shout from a soapbox, find something worth shouting about. This is getting boring.
That's what I was afraid of. Thanks...NM

That's what I was afraid of...
I saw a demo of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 Medical Edition on the Nuance website. The doctor in the demo dictates a section of a report and the software makes no mistakes whatsoever. While this part is hard to believe, he then says "select congestive heart failure", which the software does and highlights. He then says "ICD-9 that", and the software inserts the correct ICD-9 code in parentheses behind the selected text. The ICD-9 codes are pre-programmed and inserted based on recognized *text*, so as long as the right text is highlighted, the only way an error could occur is if the programmers had entered a wrong ICD-9 code, which is unlikely and would be quickly fixed with a version update. I don't know if this will eventually eliminate coding or if it will just make coders more productive, but that coding course at AHIMA is looking more and more like a waste of money. An online Bachelor degree is beginning to look like the only way out of this conundrum.
P.S. Don't be afraid to go over the head of
your local boss, they are likely to stonewall you. You should follow protocol and START there, but do not hesitate to carry it further if not satisfied.......... the protocol for this is actually outlined on QNET.
thats silly. what are they afraid of if
I mean come on, we won't become millionaires. There should NOT be a limit on how much you make. A raise per year for cost of living, a raise or higher rate for experienced and good MTs, and also a raise for putting up with the BS.
Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel.
My brothers and sisters would get together and talk about how my mom is. I told them to tell her, but they said they did not want to hurt her feelings. Yeah, but it's ok for her to hurt ours. NOT! I finally told my mom. She was very defensive at first. She did not speak to me for about a month, but then she called and said she was sorry. If you are honest and sincere, things will work out. Your sis will never know how you and your other sis are feeling if one of you does not step up to the plate.
Don't be afraid. Use the law to your advantage. SM
Stop a minute and think about this. What other person on the planet would be allowed to do this to you? Not one. The reason he is allowed to do it is because you let him.
"Tired of working?" Hell, we're all tired of working, but we do it because we have to. You keep your chin up, girlie. Find you a rat-hole and put some money in it. Even if it's a quarter at a time. Save your change, filch from your paycheck. Get a little padding there so you will have some options.
I lived with a horribly abusive man who took advantage of me for 30 years. I'd still be living with him but he's dead. I know I'd never have left.
Don't get me wrong. I adored him, God knows why - I let those "good times" outshine the horrible times and I stayed with him till death did us part - all to the detriment of my poor children. I have a daughter who thinks it's noble to stay with an abusive man. I have a son who, I'm grateful to say, is kind to his SO, but he endured a 10-year relationship with a lying, emotionally abusive girl - all thanks to me.
Do it as soon as you can. If that guy quit his job because he's "tired of working" there's nothing he won't do. Sending a hug. I know where you're coming from.
Not for me--I would be afraid they would somehow make

Thank you. I wonder if you would be so kind as to tell me how to zip? I'm afraid I'm at a lo

Everyone is so afraid to ask for a raise.
I guarantee you that the people you work for have gotten a raise in the last 4 years, so why not you? Just do it. Like you said, all they can say is no, or give some BS excuse. But just look at the enormous increase in gasoline over the past 4 years, never mind everything else. No one can continue on the same salary.
Those afraid to ask for a raise are their own
This is one of the major reasons why women are paid at least 20% less than men doing the same job. Women are intimidated to just go in and say, "Hey boss, I need a raise."
Many years ago, I was working as a cashier. Certainly not a great job, but for low level work, it didn't really pay that bad. I had been there 5 years, had received my usual raises and a merit raise. However, I still felt my level of flexibility by being able to take over in a lot of other departments at a moment's notice made me a valuable employee. I went into my supervisor, told them what I thought my value was to the company and asked for a dollar an hour raise. He gave it so quick, I probably could have gotten more.
I would be more afraid of American
because they know how to identify theft better than offshore countries I'm sure. 
I don't see why employers are so afraid to ask for ... sm
at least the minimum lines each day. I used to work at a hospital where the required minimum was I believe 40 minutes, which ain't a lot of work. Most times (and this was when we were in house) the girls would chat and chat and chat and go for lunch and chat and chat, etc., and never work. And they got by with it because they were too scared to demand that these people stick to the guidelines by which they were hired. One day I went in to work OT on a Saturday and worked 4 or 5 hours, and I don't remember what my line count was, but one person typed 12 lines. And she was supposed to be the regular Saturday morning person. Some saturdays I would go in to work and there would be NOBODY there. NOBODY typing in a hospital transcription dept. just because it was Saturday. They got by with it for years, continued to get by with it, and we lost our jobs to MQ because nobody worked and nobody made them work. Me, I worked. I worked a lot. I had (still have) goals, meet them, exceed them routinely because I happen to like paying the bills and having money left over. Like I always say, people whine on here about no work but when there's a lot of OT to be worked they are nowhere to be found.
I'm where you are afraid you'll end up
I'm in my mid 50s, and I'm not sure decent paying transcription jobs will be around until I hit retirement age. Actually, despite saving, I'm not sure I'll be able to retire period. I figure I'll have to work at something until the day I drop, and sometimes I think that if that happened tomorrow, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
I've always worked 2 and sometimes 3 jobs, and I've been self-employed. I didn't mind putting in the hours in my 20s, 30s and even 40s, but I'm getting tired now. I'd like to have a life beyond transcription. Back then, I didn't necessarily have to work all those hours but chose to. Now, I have to work them. It's too late for me to go back to school. There's no time when you work 7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day, and I can't afford to take on that kind of debt. I'd be 60 by the time I finished, and who would hire me? How much better off would I be starting all over again at the bottom?
If you have something else in mind for making a living, particularly if it requires going to school or going back to school, and you can do it time-wise and financially, then I would encourage you to do it now. You are right to worry, and you don't want to end up where I am. Best of luck to you!
