Minnie--If your kids are grown, then you must be in my age bracket (an old timer, ha-ha). One hears so much about ''burn out'' and that this is a young person's profession so it is encouraging to read about your production. Like you, it was not a ''home''job when I started out and when I did come home years ago, I thought my production would sky-rocket but the reverse has been true--I think because I have been ''babying'' myself. Anyway, your posts are very inspiring.
Minnie- sm
I'm not sure if your repeated posts about MTs going into this field only to be able to stay home are specifically referring to my original post, but if that is what you mean, I wanted to let you know that in my situation, that is not the case. I worked for an opthalmology clinic for about 2 years and then for a small transcription service for about 6 years. My daughter was about 3 years old at that time. The thought never even occurred to me that I might be able to work from home one day. Frankly, I just didn't know that was a possibility at the time. But, I still loved MT'ing.
Then, when I became pregnant with my second child and started looking into other options to increase my income, I jumped on the opportunity to work at home for Medquist. So I have been home ever since. That was 8 years ago. Not that this is relevant, but I don't work for MQ anymore! However, I will be forever grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to be able to work from home, which is a huge challenge when you are accustomed to being able to call another MT over to your desk to take a listen to a tough word!
Well, I am a skinny minnie and can't do that
RA has a tendency to make you feel a lot older than you are.
Oh but I used to get my legs up there once upon a time. Those were the good old days, free of painful hips.:)
Minnie - Do you have a family? (sm)
I'm just curious - If you have kids, are they grown and out of the house now? I guess if I were alone 24 hours a day, my production would be out of this world as well. If you do have family still at home, how do you manage to keep them quiet while you are working? :)
Do you have kids, Minnie?

Minnie, you are showing your
ignorance. You must get off on bashing people? Are you that miserable of a person? I think it is safe to assume that you don't have much of a life, probably because no one can stand being around someone so negative. Grow up!!
But, but, but ... they always sound like Mickey or Minnie Mouse to me!
... at least on the speed I play them. :o>
Well, give Minnie a gold star. SM
Like or not, Minnie, some of us got into this profession because it allows us to be at home, run our households, and work at the same time.
Minnie you have to be the angriest person I have seen on this board
What up with that. No one is whining. We are doing a job. It is boring as sin and we all have a life beyond this job, which you don't seem to have. All anyone doing is venting through some of the rough spots that we all have from time to time. Give it a rest will ya
How nice is this keyboard? Nice light touch?
I have a regular Microsoft ergonomic one now but I'm thinking I should probably get a replacement and use mine as a backup.
I was nice today, and people were nice to me.
If you steer away from the nastiness, there are a few nice and encouraging posts in there. 
Actually there is another thread that says
the same thing - "off subject" and I have seen that several times before, so that's why I asked. Wasn't faulting you or anyone else at all. Thank you for explaining that you mean it's not anything to do with transcription. Heck, we get tired of talking about transcription anyway! Nice to be "off topic"!
this should be a fun thread
What is the shortest time you have worked for an MT company and why did you leave? I have found that I can predict the first day if the company is going to work out for me. Other experiences?
I saw most of that thread was gone...
so how was the chocolate frosting or did you resist it? LOL! Been there done that!
see thread below
There is thread below about halfway down the page that started yesterday about this. I think the simple answer is we don't know yet what it means for our jobs. It's rather vague. Now, I would like to say that it is just about getting records digital and away from paper and that's it, but Obama is saying that it will save billions every year. The only way I can see that happening is by jobs being cut and I can't imagine all of them coming from record clerks who file the paper records. On the other hand he says it will create thousands of jobs, but it seems from what I have read that he is referring to computer people creating and managing the electronic records because it has been said that there aren't enough skilled people right now to handle it.
Probably goes with the thread below. nm

yes, this thread has gotten way off track

Now that certainly followed the thread! Bravo! Thanks for
that totally coherent thought. When there is a thread on make up or hair color, do you post on the the War in Iraq? Probably! Perhaps the OP (original poster) who asked about working at home with a newborn had something to do with the topic being babies and...working at home! Imagine that! Pardon us all for staying on topic.
since the thread is here.. grout? Have tried

You obviously did not read the thread from below
I was not complaining about MQ. I was complaining about the person who says that anyone who posts anything about MQ is whining. All I said was that this is the forum for us to talk about any problems we may be encountering, or to share tips, or give news, etc. I just don't think it is fair that every time someone has something to say that isn't absolutely pro-MQ, they are accused of whining. I am tired of trying to defend MQ MTs who let these assinine people insult their intelligence and then attack the person who is trying to defend their right to say anything they want on this board. If you want to flame me, go ahead, I know that I had no malintent and I also know I have broad shoulders.
I posted this thread. (sm)
My thread isn't putting anyone down. I asked a question. If Dano or anyone else doesn't like it or doesn't want to answer, DON'T.
I have my reasons for asking the question. If others get their feelings hurt because someone has a degree or education, too bad for them. I'm not walking on eggshells because of their fractured inferiority complex. I'm not attacking them. I haven't belittled them over their lack of education; if they don't want an education that is their business.
I'm "superior feeling" because I want to know who has achieved higher levels of education.
Go away.
I think RadGuy DID see that thread.
He usually posts everyday but hasn't since before yesterday, so thanks for running off a good guy and one of the bright spots on an otherwise gloomy board of complainers. Do you feel better?
This is an EXCELLENT thread--thanks! nm
.
you don't, but you can start a new thread and
for others to reference.
This thread does not include the other 90% of us
who struggle with bad dictators to make $300 a week.
Acne - I know this thread is old, but
I found article on a dermatology site I was looking at. It's on a product that I think has been around for several years, was it Differin? Something like that. This study finds that those who use it in combination with any other acne treatment get better results (don't have my drug book with me to check the spelling).

and really, if this thread continues....sm
We should be taking this to the Medquist board/forum here and not on the Main Board where we currently are.....
Sorry - should have been posted under thread below. nm

You know this thread only perpetuates
the picture of southerns being backwards. I could not have come from any more southern roots; however I really wish others who have never visited do know we wear shoes, we can carry on a decent conversation, we have upscale neighborhoods (my hubby and I live where judges and physicians live along side among others) and never lived out of the south and never would want to. Believe it or not, the race relations here are very, very good and I would say probably better than other areas in the states. My home is in a community that has a mixture of blacks, whites, Asians, you name it we have it and such a quiet, peaceful place.
As a total aside to this thread here...
about dentists in Maine...I haven't been to a dentist since I was a kid, strictly out of fear factor. I tried to find one yesterday because I think it's time I see someone whether I like it or not. Of the 4 I could find, only 1 is accepting new patient's and where I don't have insurance and would be be a self-pay, they don't cut any breaks....just the initial visit and cleaning is going to run $310 buckaroos! I asked if that price included a happy ending and the voice on the other end just went dead. (No sense of humor apparently.)
No wonder why people are losing their teef up heyah!
See thread below...nobody has heard of them...
and nobody can find anything for them on the internet. Look down the page for more info.
This is a WONDERFUL thread, and everything you all are saying...
is right on point and reflective of what I've been saying for years. It seems that most of the top higher ups in this industry don't HAVE A CLUE about our work process and are only about how much they can use us to line their own pockets while taking as much out of ours as they can.
In a perfect world we could earmark three days where NOT AN MT IN THIS INDUSTRY would generate a single line. I'm sure THEN that those who think that they know would find out that they don't have a clue.
But then, too, it's not a perfect world ...  
Well, the whole thread disappeared...
Dontcha love it (not).
There is another thread on the board...
about this somewhere. The people discussing it there said that the boss was very full of herself. One of them even got hired, but she was just very difficult to work with--pushy and rude, etc. Maybe that is where the line in the ad "Someone who is easy to work with" comes from. That's a two way street. Anyway, I work ophthalmology, but not for three years. I would say those who have specialized in such a specialization would be few and far between and those who have would be making more than .07 cpl.
Well there is already a huge thread...
Why keep it going and going? If you all are just now realizing that AHDI is against the MT, then have you had your head in the sand the past few years or what? Get a grip! Life is what you make it! This OP obviously wants to keep bringing it up and bringing it up blocking the entire board with this crap.
Look at thread below. Many sites given.
