they offer a free trial? I just downloaded Webroot Internet Security and it's "supposed" to be pretty good. I've got it free for 14 days. Thanks!

Found a great eponym website! sm
This has been helpful to me. I thought I'd share for those of you who haven't already discovered this website.
Hope it is helpful.

I found a GREAT job by posting my resume here. :-)
I didn't have much faith in the process since I have heard that hundreds of people respond to each ad posted, but decided to give it a try anyway ... and I'm glad I did. I was contacted by a small company with a great owner who pays well and treats me with courtesy and respect. Thanks MT Stars! 
I found a great free utility...
after making myself nuts and getting lots of technical advice on how to backup AutoText, when what I wanted was to back up AutoCorrect -- I found this great little utility that creates a text document out of your AutoCorrect entries, then you run it again on the Text document to re-create your AutoCorrect if lost. Click on the link under "Method 1" on this page to download it. It's a lifesaver!

Not a great site. I have found many errors on

I found great headphones, GRADO LABS
Grado Labs SR60. I put a more detailed note down below, where I had asked for help with headphones. I love them. Great sound, comfortable, you forget they are on. I can just type and forget about the sound, such a relief. Like the olden days.
No flame here - think it's great you found something that will work for you plus get clothes clea
at the same time. Thanks for sharing this tip with us!
Found great headphones- GRADO LABS SR60
Thanks to all you who replied. At my local MAC store I found they had a display you could listen to the earphones. I bought GRADO LABS SR60, as the sound was good and they sit entirely outside your ear with BIG round ear pads.
When I got them home, the sound was GREAT for transcribing. Thank the Lord. Really. It was just like the old days, when I COULD TYPE AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THE SOUND. I did change settings on my sound card--it has an equalizer-- to New Wave or something, it seemed the best, and put the Wave file way down, and adjusted the volume on the speakers, and I was very happy.
I read on someone's review, some audio guy on the net, that Grado SR60's have not as much bass as the higher number models. But for transcription that is good.
Well, from my lips to God's ears, just in time, I am so happy. Really, I have bought a lot of headphones trying, but they have all been cheap. These are not that expensive, but they were great. The Bose were very good sound, but for transcribing, I did not think I'd like them. Plus they were heavier on the ears, more of a conventional fit around the ears and put pressure on the head. Another great thing about the Grado, they have a metal top piece that goes over the head -covered with leather or fake leather--the audio website said, you can rest that on the top of your head and take away some of the pressure on your ears. That helps relax and pretty soon you don't notice them, like with other headphones fighting all the time to keep them in position.
Thanks to all. Hope this helps someone. The sound is great.
I just saw a great one where he found a lady friend for a woman's boxer dog.
It was cool how he treated the dog so differently from the woman, and dogs respond very quickly to him. To allow the two boxers to get to know each other in a natural way and allow all their social interactions to progress where he could monitor them, he had to ask the woman to stay out 100 feet away. Otherwise she would have been smothering them with kisses - just her way. The two boxers hit it off, going through all the right social behaviors so they could get to know each other and not squabble.
REVIEWS FOR FAILURE
The things being taken off on for the review is pathetic too. "During this hospitalization" being marked wrong because the reviewer states the dictation said "during this hospital stay", etc. and so on. These so called reviews are jokes. We are educationed professionals and don't appreciate slave driver tactics.
Mixed reviews
I can't speak for all of them, but my experience was that while they help in terms of lowering interest, you are still going to be stuck for years and years because that is the name of the game with credit card sharks...
The politicians have made it even easier for the cc companies to "enslave"
people by making is really really hard to declare bankruptcy - and there are many legitimate reasons for filing bankrupt. NOtice how minimum payments went up right after that law passed? It's no accident.
You can usually tell which companies are professional and which aren't... but pay close attention to the fees you are paying them to cut your interest... They get a kickback from the credit card companies on top of that fee - make sure it's not out of bounds. Good luck (free advise: cut up all cards except for one!).
WEBMEDX - reviews?
Not enough work at my current job - need a company that offers ER-only work. Anyone work for them that could share an opinion? Would love also to hear how much they pay. Thanks so much!
Thanks. It seems to get such good reviews..
It is slowing me down so much, but now I have to start all over again. 8( oh well....
Check reviews.
Horrible with both suppliers. Law suits, etc.
PEER Reviews
Has anyone ever been through a PEER Review? I have a PEER review on Friday and am not sure what questions will be asked. The position is for a part time data entry clerk in a Diagnostic Imaging Center. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
For anyone who reviews records, how do you charge?
Many moons ago when I worked for a medical group and the transcription work ran low, I asked if I could take a stab at summarizing records for medical-legal patients. It was a nice change of pace, and the doctors loved getting out of this chore. As an employee, I was paid my usual hourly wage. If anyone does this as an IC, how do you charge for it?
I'm thinking by the hour would be the only way to go unless it were really straight-foward, i.e., reviewing reports in the order received, date of report, name of provider, basically copy typing test results, diagnosis, and conclusions.
Some doctors might ask that the HPI, PMH, etc. be read through, looking for discrepancies in the history or pre-existing similar conditions and commenting on that, which can take a good deal of time to do to come up with a short line indicating no discrepancies, making cpl not the way to go.
I know different areas of the country would charge different rates, so I'm not looking for specific charges but a general rule of thumb, if there is such a thing. If you charge by the hour (or by the line), how does that compare to what you make per hour (or per line) doing straight transcription?
Thanks for any input!
Also try www.makeupalley.com for reviews on beauty products;
Well, I've heard rave reviews about (sm)
The Surgery Word Book too. I'm thinking of make it the next book on my wish list. I recently purchased the Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words, but from what I understand now I should have gone with the Surgical Word Book instead. Oh well, never can have enough books can we? 
Hourly wage for Med Rec Reviews in Cali
It's been many years since I've charged for med record reviews and have no clue what the going rate may be. They are for QME reports. Anyone have any idea on what would be fair to both parties? Thank yew!!!
I love my Electrolux, I am hard on Vacuums and I found Electrolux to be great, it sucks up everythin

I think the amount of work sent to QA is is very bad idea to limit that. I can understand QA reviews
but to limit the amount of work to QA to get a bonus which is my understanding will cause people to not send things to QA when the dicator makes an obvious error and you dont want to chance correcting it. There are extremely bad dictators and depending on where they are dictating the noise can be horrendous on the phone lines or cells or whatever they are doing. My goodness, you have an attitude.
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?
I think I found it, found multiple recipes with the same
exact ingredients so I figure this must be it.
Found it, Prolastin, also found

Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything! 
Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
IT - great program, great support system. nm

Thanks for all the great advice! You guys are great!

What I have found ...
is that specialties are usually easier because they are a confined, defined, specific, and more narrow scope of medical terminology, etc. As well, you will not have as many dictators to learn in a specialty field.
The more broad/general the work you transcribe, the greater the base fund of knowledge you need for knowing the terminology, medications, tests, procedures, diagnoses, treatments, symptoms, etc.
Just my experience.
I found their ad.
I see in an old post that you work PT for them? Are they hiring any PT at all right now? Do they consider PT to be by hours or by lines? I can go to their website, too, if you don't get back to this. Thank you.
found it, thanks anyway...nm

I found it as gm in BOS
per BOS, so I guess take your pick.
I FOUND OUT
I work for a hospital, not for MQ, but we use their DQS program. What they do, is go in on DocQmanage and change up how they count the lines. They use a divisor that changes. They can count or not count whatever they want, and they do it! They are literally stealing from us.
Tri-Est - Found it!
It never fails - I searched for this multiple times yesterday and again this morning. As soon as I posted it on the board, I found it.  Sorry to have bothered you all.
I FOUND THE JOB OF MY D~R~E~A~M~S
at OSI, and I quit after a couple weeks. Control freaks, liars about off-shoring, really weird QA director, and impossible ESLs. Stay away.
look what i found
Google the email address and you will see the following. No one should have to pay...

THAT IS JUST WANT I HAVE FOUND
out from a nice person who emailed me with some very helpful information. Looks like that is my first task, to have some dictation of my ownm some nice Americans and ESL physicians to use in classes.....Should not be too hard to do....I have acess to a hospital.....I was under the impression that since I purchased the programs and each had the company label on them, crediting them with ownership, I would be in the clear. Guess not.
Found it. Thanks.

I found it used for $100..
You can look on Mtdaily.com under classifieds or post a wanted ad. It very rarely sells on ebay.
I use it and love it too. Took me a month to be real efficient with it though.
Found it! 6.0...

I just went to my first one and I found myself....
I was dressed nice, it was held indoors/outdoors at the botanical gardens in the city where I live, but I really believe I was underdressed......not fancied up enough.
Oh well, it was my first one EVER, and was for my friend's eldest, and I went, and it was fun and nice; a lot of dancing mainly. All women were in skirts or dresses.......no slacks or fancy trousers.......
The men, on the other hand, and the boys, were dressed far more casually than the girls/women. Jeans and nice shirts were what most men and boys were wearing....very neat and clean, but I found that odd too, that the women/girls were FAR more dressed up.
We gave $$.....*S*
I think I found something

From what I can tell, we are considered "commissioned" workers and there are rules as to how OT can be applied. What do you think?
I found this one!
Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake Brownie Bars Recipe
Ingredients
Bottom:
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
8 Tbsp butter (1 stick), melted and cooled to room temperature
1 egg
1 pkg (21.2 ounces) brownie mix (tested with Betty Crocker Triple Chunk)
Cheesecake Layer:
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs at room temperature
3/4 cup pureed strawberries, fresh or frozen, sweetened with 1 Tbsp sugar (sugar is optional)
Topping:
1 pkg (3 ounces) strawberry-flavored gelatin
1/2 cup boiling water
1/4 cup strawberries, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
Instructions
Bottom:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 by 13-inch pan with non-stick foil.
Cream butter and cream cheese together; add egg and mix until smooth. Combine creamed mixture with dry brownie mix, stirring by hand. Mixture will be thick. Spread evenly in foil-lined pan and bake for 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
Cheesecake Layer:
Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla with electric mixer until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Reserve 1-1/2 cups of the plain batter. Stir strawberry puree into remaining batter.
Spoon strawberry batter over bottom; top with evenly-spaced spoonfuls of plain batter. Swirl a butter knife through topping for marble effect, taking care not to dislodge the bottom brownie layer.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40 to 45 minutes or until center is set and edges lightly browned. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate while preparing topping.
Topping:
Combine boiling water and both boxes of gelatin. Stir until no more sugar or gelatin granules are visible and liquid is clear. Cool to room temperature. Add strawberry chunks and mix well. Pour cooled strawberry gelatin mixture over top of cooled cheesecake and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least two hours. Cut into bars before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
Yield: 24 servings
