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?" :)
Love it! Maine's motto should be "Freezeyourbuttoffland"
Which part of Maine and NH were you thinking of visiting??? The Maine coast is beautiful -sm
and the White Mountains in NH is also nice. I would suggest driving the Kangamangus Highway in the White Mountains in NH. Very nice drive and beautiful views of the White Mountains. I believe the Old Man of the Mountain is along this route but part of him fell a while ago so not sure what he looks like now???!!!
I went back in house and love it. I love not being
secluded. I was working in my PJs, less organized and feel much better now that I get up and dress for work and see people (even those in traffic aren't so bad anymore). I find that I have more of a life now, and my family says that I spend more time with them now.
Working at home served its purpose for a long time; I was ready to go out into the world again now that I have no little ones at home.
I would rather jump off a cliff!
All you get is lies, so would do no good.
Cliff and Claire Huxtable...LOL

love House... miss it a lot but luv it when I see it... nm

Anyone else love to watch House on Fox?
I love that show
Pergo - I have it throughout my entire house and love it!

My heart hurts. I love House.
I've loved the Stacy/House story. That episode with the kiss in the hotel room while he was on the phone? Man. Can I just say under this cloak of anonymity that I didn't fall asleep on the couch that night. Well, I guess that's beside the point. I love that show..I love House. Hugh Laurie is so great in that role. I really wanted that story line to continue. I like Sela Ward and I hope she comes back. That forbidden romance story line is too good to let go. I think he let her go for more than one reason. He loves her but he is afraid. He knows that he can't change and he knows that at some point she will need more, like he said. He would rather let her go now, back to her husband who I think he likes. He doesn't want to hurt the guy, even though he's in love with his wife. If he lets her go now, she gets to stay in her marriage. He knows that if she stays with House, she will lose her marriage, and eventually things will go wrong with House, and they will both be losers in love. Make sense? 
No, but it is hard not to fall in love with a house. sm
Glad you will be able to back out of this, though. There will be another house for you, without the previous damage. good luck.
Love in house, hate nationals at home nm

I work in-house for doctor's office now and Love My Job!
Good Luck. I accepted an in-house position at a doctor's office after being laid off from a very large hospital. It is wonderful to be able to go and ask the doctor questions and get feedback directly from them. It really is the way to go now instead of working for the really big transcription companies. I feel like I am appreciated.
Don't know about Maine
but here in Northeast Alabama we do actually have an overpopulation. However, I agree the state can come up with some ridiculous laws regarding hunting. We used to raise cattle. There were as many deer as cattle on our farm. We were constantly having to repair fencing, not to mention what they did to our gardens, etc. Last year my husband hit a deer with his car on his way home from work. State Farm said they had handled more deer claims this year than ever before. Also, most of the hunters I know either eat the meat themselves, or give it to someone who wants it. By the way, my husband is a member of the NRA, but the NRA not only fights gun control, but promotes gun safety and responsibility. I am not flaming. You have a right to your opinion. Guns are dangerous in the wrong hands. I don't love guns, but I feel they have their place. There is sometimes only one deputy patrolling our whole county at night. If we have a problem, we are on our own. I feel like guns are a necessary evil where I live. My husband once held some young men at gun point who my 75-year-old neighbor caught stealing her grandson's ATV (the grandson was in Iraq). Of course he did not shoot anyone, but he did hold them until the deputies could get there- 45 minutes later.

Going to Maine.
I am originally from Bangor, Maine, and my family has a cabin on Lake Sebec. My mom, dad, sister, son, and I went for 10 days last year and we are going again this year. It's really great to go and see all of my family. I have a very large family up there and since they are 1000 miles away, I don't get to see them very often. Can't wait to go, although the drive up and back is a looooong one!
$2.29 in Central Maine
Casco Bay TR in Maine
I live in Maine and have not heard of them. They must be fairly new or changed their name from something else.
Bangor, Maine
They're in Maine. :-)

I thought so. There is an MT company in Maine using it also. nm

re: a canadian MT who lives next to MAINE
I have a MT company from portland, Maine who w ants me to work for them as an IC. They offered me 7 cents per line american. WHat a freakin joke!!
I wont work for under 12 cents per line and I have been out of it for awhile (6 years!!).
See ya!!
Any one know of Casco Bay Transcription in Maine?
I would like to hear from anyone who works for this company. Do they pay decent? Are they good to work for? Thank you.
She's pretty - like a Maine Coon? (sm)
I bet she gets into all sorts of hilarious mischief. I like watching cats on Funniest Home Videos. Just saw the one where the toddler was gently poking at the cat who was sitting in a chair. She suddenly had enough, so she stood on her back feet and whopped his head repeatedly with those lightening fast paws. Kid didn't know what happened, just looked at the camera like, What the ??
Ayuh and if you don't like the weathah in Maine. . . .
wait a minute, it'll change.
We went to Maine a couple of years ago and it
was a MAJOR disappointment. It was nothing at all like you see on TV. We were in southern ME and people didn't keep up their yards, no one had a single flower in their yard, although there were a couple of hanging baskets and people were not very friendly. Went to Portland and couldn't get out of there fast enough. Everyone we met was rude and the place was just so dirty looking.
Here are some more - Maine Medical Center, sm
Fairview Health System, Gwinnett Medical Center, Atlanta, Piedmont Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess, Charlston Medical Center, West Virginia, Pacific California Hospital, UMass hospital, Marin General Hospital, California, New England Baptist, and the list goes on and on and on.
never mind, found it - maine
not the one i worked for.
Eastern Maine Medical Center
I miss working with other people. I miss having a QA person or a supervisor I know and can go talk to. I miss the hospital gossip and hearing about people's grandkids. Sigh. I left them to work at home figuring it would be all that. But it's not. Sigh....
Come to Maine in February, you'll cool off :)
However, it has been soooooo hot here for a month. I'm not just talking heat, we get 95 degrees with 86% humidity and even the kitchen floor is sticky under your feet. And that's with the AC on, choking in the background. The humidity makes everything sticky. 115 degrees of dry heat is like oven heat. 95 degrees of humid heat is like a sauna and you feel as if you're sucking in water when you breathe.
But February. . . .nice and cool. 20 below 2 weeks in a row. A good day might go up to 2 (that's degrees). In February we can't wait for the hot humid weather. In July we can't wait for snow, but not for February though, more like December when it's a nice 20 above.
In case anyone missed it, there is a woman from Maine, sm
Her name is Cathi Lee. Her success story hit our tiny local newspaper one day and she has since been on Today, Good Morning America and in People Magazine.
If you Google her name and weight loss, you can see some articles about her.
I'm too technologically inept to be able to post anything here. I do know that there is a video on WMTW.com of her story.
She was 500 lbs. and lost 330 lbs. in 3 years without fad diets, pills or surgery. She just finally set her mind to it, did a lot of research and now at 48, she is a third of the size she was.
One of her main things was walking and I totally agree with that. I don't care if it's zero out, I still walk. I left my inhouse job 2 years ago and I've LOST 25 lbs. I have time to walk and I make myself do it unless it's pouring rain.
I also do not buy anything that I will eat for junk food, especially "desk food." Do not buy anything that you can easily snack on at your desk. Big mistake. I used to have a desk drawer of "comfort" snacks at my inhouse job and would snack all day.
Another thing is water. Not in the form of 6 cups of coffee. Just plain water and lots of it. NO SODA! Even diet soda will cause fluid retention. Keep a diet soda as a "treat" for the end of your work shift before you go walking. :)
Good luck! 
Teeny town in Maine. I never even thought . . .sm
That this may not be the best thing to do if you live in a city or something.
We have virtually no crime rate unless the juveniles are bored and smash a pumpkin or something. We don't lock our doors and leave the keys in the car. It's a little tiny neighborhood with the 100 x 100 lots and everyone knows everyone by name.
Some customers leave paper money in envelopes clipped to their mailboxes right out in plain view and nobody has ever taken any.
There are neighborhoods in our nearest city that I wouldn't dream of doing this in.
So it's probably not for everyone.
I found my notes--- Olympus DS-2300--$172 at Abe's of Maine - sm
this is basically the direct replacement for the DS-300, only difference is the looks adn it has a removable memory card, other than that pretty much the same; the other comparable unit is the DS-2--it goes for about $105, a little more limiting in its features but still a good recorder. Check out Pricegrabber.com, great for shopping around.
Hinting spring in Central Maine 40ish.
We're getting there! 
Well I think the part you mention in NH and in Maine Acadia and Bar Harbor. Not sure what else there
is that I should see. I expect Portsmouth NH would be nice.

Unlimited long distance in Maine. Please see message.
Hi all! There was a thread not far down on this board about unlimited long distance, and a few companies were mentioned, like Verizon, etc. I found out today that not all of these services are offered in Maine, where I live.
Does anyone know of any unlimited long distance services at reasonable prices in Maine?
ALSO, I know we have AT&T unlimited long distance here in Maine. Does anyone know if AT&T is one of the "good" companies? That is, can I use a C-phone with them and not be penalized?
Thanks so much for any help anyone can give!
You are in Maine, right Hayseed? I am in Indiana, and I totally agree SM
with you. It has been bitterly cold the past week with snow most every day, including today. I am glad I dont have to go out in it.
I get frustrated over the same issues as other MTs, but I just do what you said, walk away and try to keep a good attitude.
I have posted a couple of links inside for both Maine and New Hampshire -sm
There are a lot of great places to visit in either state. Kind of depends on what your interests are and if you are traveling alone or with children. Also depends on what time you plan on visiting.
I live in Maine and have visited New Hampshire several times. Not sure I can answer all your questions but feel free to ask and I will try. Hope the links below help you.
Portland is a nice place and you can go to what they call the Old Port (which is on the water) and there are old shops and stuff there. Nice place to walk around if you want to walk. To drive I would travel up Route 1 (traffic may be heavy but you get to see the coast of Maine). Freeport is a nice place to visit if you want to shop. Home of the famous LL Bean. Kittery (which is just across the border from Portsmouth) has outlet stores. Portsmouth also is nice and I believe they have a lot of old historic buildings if that is of interest to you.
here is the link for Maine - http://www.visitmaine.com/home.php
The White Moutains in NH are beautiful as I said before. Also in North Conway, NH there are tons of outlet stores there also.

Any points on sightseeing in Maine and New Hampshire, just highlights that are most worthwhile. nm

Is Terra Nova owned by a guy that lives on the border of Maine/Canada? - sm
If so, this guy is a snake. He was willing to pay $0.14/line for the Kaleida account just temporarily until he could get his lines set up to offshore. He told me that on the phone!!!
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
Waterville High School, Waterville, Maine 1977
Barely passed typing (except for timed speed) and I absolutely, totally 100% hated typing class.
I excelled in accounting, but can barely balance my own checkbook. Weird how things turn out.
I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake
Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too. It's a real turn on.
I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.
Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
BD WONG! I love him! I love all CSI and Law and Orders!
I am so addicted. I actually schedule my job and family around the shows LOL.
Love love love my chair
The arms can be lowered so they won't be in your way, I don't know about the tilt limiter. But I bought my off ebay about 6 years ago and can't do without it. No I do not think you can find another chair that even compares to the aeron, changed my working life completely, no sore back or butt. You won't regret it, but you will if you go for a cheap imitation.
Yes.. In my house! nm

DQS in-house
I would think this is a dream come true. DQS can be used/bought by independent companies including hospitals and it doesn't necessarily mean that MQ is taking over the account or has anything to do with the MTs on staff at the hospital. Hopefully this is the case for the OP, because that is wonderful.
Also, regarding the demographic field, she is probably familiar with the little things of the hospital that sometimes MQ MTs struggle with, especially those of us with multiple accounts, like who dictates for whom, doctors who put in their wrong IDs, who gets copies and who doesn't, etc.
I hope MQ doesn't mess with the account too, because she, IMO, has the perfect set-up because DQS is really a pretty decent program and to be able to work on ONE account, in-house, would be my dream come true, anyhow! :-)
Oh, but maybe she should be warned that DQS is a speech recognition platform...
