I do believe that a parent spanking their child is okay, but not a daycare provider and definitely not a baby! I was shocked that they asked me to sign a release allowing them to spank my 9-month-old son. I didn't even swat my son's behind or back of his hand until he was about 18 months old...there was no way in heck I was going to allow someone who didn't love him to do it.

Ya know, the problem I have with giving sign-on bonuses is...
Why dont they give occasional bonuses or some kind of acknowledgement to the employees who have been there and stuck it out through periods of no work or little work and expecting us to be "flexible" all day hoping there is enough work before the day is over. How about acknowledging them so they find a reason to stay instead of "begging" more people to come on board for a bonus only to find there isnt enough work to go around. Their whole process is messed up.
I lived in England for 3 months and France..sm
Lived in England - 12 miles SE of London for 3 months and people were pretty nice. This was at the time that cops in England never carried guns, but I think that has changed by today's standards.
My inlaws (now outlaws) live in France and there are 7 first cousins there. I lived there for 3 months and got to go to Florence and Siena and Feisole, Italy. They do like Americans in Italy. As for France, they only don't like Americans in the northern part (the closer you get towards Germany). They are so much nicer and more tolerant in the South of France...Nice, Aix-en-Provence, and all the wine-growing part of the country.
Also traveled for weeks through Sweden, Denmark, and Amsterdam Holland. Europe is certainly beautiful!

1099 form? I did IC work for an MT company a few months (smsg)
in 2007. Shouldn't I be receiving a 1099 form from them for tax purposes? I haven't yet and am wondering if I should contact them. I paid my quarterlies. I thought the law was they had until 1/31 to send it.
Lived in Germany for 5 years - best place I ever lived!
I found the people very warm and helpful, the food is to die for, and if you like beer (I do not, but this is what hubby tells me), it is the best in the world! The downside now is with the conversion to the euro things do seem much more expensive (was just back there to visit last Decemeber). Still, I would live there again in a heartbeat! :-)
When transcribing "command" or "imperative" form, use verb form or "follow up"
For a long time I would become confused by "discharge instructions" type followup/follow up usage ...
Yes, the patient was to follow up with his doctor ... but was also to make a follow up appointment ...
In my experience, certainly your QA may vary and/or be inconsistent all-on-its-own ... but most of these truncated forms, fit into what I was taught was called "imperative case" and follow up is being used as a VERB ...
[[[ even though there is a reasonable argument to be made that "followup with primary care physician in 2 weeks" refers to an "appointment" which is a noun. ]]]
You can figure out the prevailing "rule of thumb" for your QA ...
Not having to think it through --- priceless.
Troubles with Teething - Baby, Baby, Baby
Hi. My little guy is teething soooooo bad and I am wondering if any of you have some ideas that I can try, to hopefully make his life (and my life) a little easier to deal with? lol. We've tried Tylenol - with little pain relief, but much diarreha! We've tried Orajel - it seems to wear off too fast to make a difference. We've tried teething toys - help for only a few minutes (not nearly enough time for me to get any work done!). His appetite is normal, but his sleep schedule has been totally disrupted (as has mine). For the last 2 nights, he has woke up every couple hours. I would think he would be exhausted during the day....but he never goes to sleep. He is more fussy than usual and alittle more clingy, but overall he is very playful. His pediatrician gave me some suggestions (the above) that I have tried with little to no help, so I am desperate for new ideas! He is cutting multiple teeth right now (and just got a few new ones last week too) so he is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I appreciate all ideas that anyone has. Thanks in advance. :)
It is not a plural form. It is a possessive form. SM
The man's name was Metzenbaum and he devised this particular instrument. The correct spelling would be Metzenbaum's. WITH THE APOSTROPHE. AAMT BOS is full of crap.

Can you use a plus sign for hyper and minus sign for hypo?

How old was your oldest patient? sm
Doesn't matter if it is someone you took care of or someone you typed a report about. I just did a report on a 103-year-old man and once while working as a aide, had a 104-year-old male patient. Cute as a button and sharp as a tack. Also had a 101-year-old lady at the nursing home. 
oldest "mother"
I had a woman who was 57 who was having back pain - she was also 8 months pregnant. Oldest patient - 102 man.
actually, motherhood is the oldest profession..
I had the same problem with my oldest - a little sister took care of that!

Coffee is a stimulant. My oldest was diagnosed with
severe ADHD. Meds didn't work and made his heart race to the point that he was very uncomfortable. He is now 16 and learned coping skills, but he has been off meds since he was 8. I always tells parents of newly diagnosed children to try giving their child coffee or Mountain Dew on a weekend when they have nothing else going on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it makes the kids bouncing balls, which is why you don't want to have any other plans that day.
The drugs are so bad if you can come up with an alternative it would be so much better. The nurse at our doctor's office told me to take a pill one time to see what my child was experiencing and it was not pleasant.
Rip-off, oldest trick in the book - pyramid scheme

I thought being a hooker WAS "the oldest profession."
What a great post! I have 3 kids and my oldest just started college ...
I miss him like crazy even though he comes home every weekend with his laundry! He is also a drummer in a band and for some reason, their new drum set is at my house. But, I realize that soon enough my house will stay clean and the noise (i.e. - drums, guitars, laughing, fighting - not sure I'll miss the fighting!) will quiet, so I try to enjoy it all as much as possible. (excuse me while I go have a quick cry and then get back to work!  )
Happy New Year, everyone!
My oldest brother is a genius at above 140 - was in Scott's Hi-Q in high school - sm
and my other brother is very smart....don't know what his IQ is but he designs computer systems for large corporations, building control systems, bridges, etc. So he's pretty sharp, and my dad worked a chemical engineer with a Master's degree. My mom was a secretary but could type 100 wpm....wish I had gotten her typing speed, at best I am 60 wpm.
That is true, when you sign up you sign up from the
day your former insurance terminated. Then it is on a month to month basis.
wanted to try it but wanted to make sure

$32K/part time 6 months/full time 6 months
I have kept my child home with me half the year, but when pre-K started I began working full time. Helps to only have a main account and one backup account for the 2nd year now, so my abbreviation program rocks and rolls when I focus.
believe what you want, I lived....sm
I lived out west for 10 years, in that area.....lots of nuclear dumping sites....area 51.....
oh, perhaps you're not familiar with area 51.... White Sands, New Mexico....all kinds of good (being facetious) stuff buried out west............
I have lived in NC since I was 12, so about
19 years. My mother used to work in a hotel, and my step-father worked as a furniture peddler. He stayed in the hotel where she was working and it was love at first sight! They have been married for 18 years now and are very happy. I also got a sister out of the deal after having been an only child for 13 years...lol.
I love Maine in the summertime, and obviously because my family is there, but I don't think I would move back. I am so used to not having to deal with all the snow. I think that is probably the major difference. Here we have 4 seasons. There, winter lasts for a long, long time. I remember being little and having huge amounts of snow on my birthday....in APRIL!
The food is also different in a lot of ways. They drink sweet tea up there, but it didn't catch on for quite some time, and it still isn't like it is here in the south. I don't drink tea though, guess that's the Yankee coming out in me...lol.
And of course there is the accent thing. It's funny, but even after living here for so long, when I go up there to visit, I pick up my northern accent all over again, although normally I talk with a southern drawl.
I do miss 'home', but I don't really think I could go back permanently. I can't deal with the cold anymore...LOL.
Always wonder how I lived this long! LOL
The stupid things we used to do and never thought anything of it until later in life and wonder how the heck I lived this long!
lived there last year - sm
had difficult time getting freelance work. I thought it was pretty funny that the hospitals in Tampa and St. Pete would go to an outside service for their overflow and pay $0.14-0.18/line, however, would not utilize me as a prn transcriptionist. Moffitt Cancer Center wanted me to drive all the way from south tampa one way for $12/hour on a prn basis. But if I wanted to be full time, I would start at $9/hour. However, Moffitt had no problem bringing in transcriptionists from Kforce and paying the COMPANY hourly rate of $33/hour (per transcriptionist), hotels, rental cars, per diem, and overtime for all six transcriptionists, and travel back and forth to their home state every 10 days. Had to laugh!
Kindred Hospital is screaming for transcriptionists, yet, they would not let me work for them, inhouse, on an as needed basis until the positions were filled. They had a two month backlog, and I lived 20 minutes away and the woman I spoke to said no. I told her I was moving in a month and could produce 1800 lines/day, knew their transcription system backwards and forwards, and wanted to be paid $0.10/line. Answer was still no. They are outsourcing it at a higher rate.
Yes, she lived it. I'm curious though,
had her and her siblings at an early age and parenthetically added something about "hormones and no sex education". But now when people talk about programs that inclue "sex education" a lot of neocons freak out and say abstinence is the only way to go and cut funding for education, so what do you do about that? How realistic is abstinence? This is not an ideal world, after all. How do we break the cycle of babies having babies and the cycle continuing for generations?
lived in Texas too
I posted to you about where to look. We also lived in Dallas and they are overpriced too. You don't pay a state income tax in Florida, but there are a lot of hidden sales taxes and such. The problem with living on the water is you can't get insurance and if you find it, it's extremely high. We left Florida and went to Biloxi, Mississippi and it was about half the cost of Florida and we were 1 block from the beach. We had planned to go back but it will take a few years to be rebuilt. In the meantime, heading to TN as they do not have a state income tax, a vehicle tax, and the property taxes are much much less.
have you ever lived in the south?
If not, then don't make negative comments about people you know nothing about.
have ya ever lived with a techie?
eaten with a techie? worked with a techie? have ya ever listened in on the techie's side of the conversation while setting up an MT?
This isn't a problem exclusive to one company. And the problems techies have aren't all their fault or the company's fault. Can you imagine being the techie that tries to train the MT that asks if the CD tray is the cup holder? (yeah, this stuff is real). It takes a tremendous amount of self discipline not to hang up on a clue-less MT and even if the MT is very computer savvy, that MT's equipment might have unique challenges that take more time than expected. Image a techie's surprise when after trying to identify a problem, the MT lets out a final piece of information not given before and the techie has to start over from scratch.
Techies are a breed unto themselves and putting personal blame on the techies really is unfair. I still defend them even if I think they are weird (that's okay, they think I'm weird too).
Give your local techie a hug today 
my most embarassing was when I lived
with no doors and the bedroom was a loft with the parrot downstairs.
When my partner and I became amorous, the bird went nuts and started screaming. Didn't help to shove pillows in each other's faces either!
Of course he repeated what he heard during the day when I had visitors...humuliations galore!
You haven't lived until you have
been woken up at 1:48, 2:37, 3:12 and 5:07 a.m. to windows shaking from Mexican rap music blaring from almost 2 blocks away and then getting yelled at by the 911 dispatcher over and over again saying that 911 is not for noise complaints. Well if they would have taken care of the problem the first time, I would have stopped calling. One 911 dispatcher was really sweet though because she could hear the music when I stood outside talking on my cell phone. Usually the first time the police go out there, they stop the music but they must have new people staying with them as they kept playing the same Tequila song over and over (only word I understood was Tequila). Then when the police went over there these idiots pretended not to speak English, speak Spanish when the officer tries to speak to them in Spanish or read the complaint printed up in Spanish. Tomorrow I'm searching for the owner of the house online and will start complaining to them as will the rest of my neighbors. You also haven't lived until you have seen some of your neighbors out in their pjs at 3 a.m. trying to do a Mexican hat dance. I'm thinking maybe they too were consuming mas tequila.
Well, I have surely lived then!
Not Mexican - rap music as loud as it can be played coming from somewhere behind my house on almost a nightly basis around 2 a.m. The thing that makes me the most annoyed is that it is literally the same song OVER and OVER and OVER for two hours or more! I just want to scream, "At least get a new song!" Ugggghhhh!
I lived in Portland for a while...(sm)
but I am back in Iowa now and wouldn't go back to Portland for the world. It's beautiful, but I guess I just like my four seasons and all the wonderful reasons to live in Iowa!
I lived with a crackhead. nm
Has anyone ever lived overseas?....sm
A friend of mine is moving to Italy and I am really considering going with her. Just wanting to know if anyone has lived outside of the US (not necessarily in Italy, just anywhere).
Thanks
I've never lived there but
know a good friend of mine from Michigan, who is an MT, who moved there. She doesn't live in Denver but Pueblo and the last I heard from her, her and her family really love it there!
Best wishes to you.
If DSL was not available where I lived, I'd HAVE to move!
I have lived here all my life and never
have I heard the word Kruk…Maybe the person was tongue-tied and could not pronounce the word truck and called it kruk instead? I am originally from Tenn and my hubby is amazed at how I talk and I have forgotten the name for the sayings but I grew up with them and they come so natural for me- up the creek without a paddle, don't be left high and dry, making a mountain out of a mole hill, a gut feeling, like looking for a needle in a haystack, cost me an arm and a leg and on and on. He says, what??? Well, bless his heart.
I lived in Virginia for a while.
I thought it was pretty funny that my ex and his family where always carrying people somewhere. "I have to carry mom over to the store."
only if I lived in India where everything else is
I'm not giving up
Fortunately, even once I return to work outside the home my child will not be going into daycare. Even if I did MT at home and he wasn't there, my family-my mom would take care of him.
I'm not giving up, i'm just not willing to put all my eggs in one basket right now. I'm sure I will keep my day job, get my MT training and try to find something PT for 3-6 months. It will probably take me longer to find a PT job at home for a newbie, but this way I can get some experience under my belt and still be able to have a stable income. Once I have gained the much need experience, I'm willing to do this FT. I think I will have my mom keep him 4 hours while i'm working and then do 4 or more hours of work while he is asleep or napping. I think this would work better for me.
You will end up giving him away if you don't
You need to train him to accept being in his cage. If you don't do something about this situation, I can betcha you will soon be looking for a home for him. Which would be more humane? Taking the time and energy to retrain him or give him away to strangers? Also, neutering him may help. He is at that age where he is beginning to notice girls, and this may be contributing to the problem. ALso, when you try to find him a new home, it will be easier to give away a neurtered male.
For those giving up MT
what will you do next? Is medical billing the next logical step for MTs, or is that a bad gamble as well?
I thought YOU were the only one that lived in Idaho,,,,,

We lived on Riverfront Drive but
Silly huh?
Lived in a trailer for years
The only reason I'm not still in one is because I moved in with my boyfriend who had a bigger house. If I was by myself, I would buy another trailer. I was always perfectly happy in mine; actually, I loved it, and could afford it, without going into serious debt. I would buy a newer trailer right now if my boyfriend would agree, because I hate a 2-story, but haven't convinced him yet.
Lived there when little, couldn't pay me enough to live
there now. Don't even like to visit family there.
Lived there for 20 years, moved
back up north 5 years ago, so glad I did. Would't even visit family down there after I moved. Now all family has moved back up with us. Wouldn't ever, ever go in July or August, the heat and humidity are so bad. 95 degree heat and 90% humidity. Its like trying to breath in a suana or steam bath. Storms every afternoon. The bugs are terrible also.
Met him in the apartment complex I lived in.
We were just friends for about a year and a half. I was newly divorced and not ready to have a relationship, but we became great friends. Here we are 11 years later - happy, happy, happy!!!!
