info inside
http://www.hslda.org/ This is a link to the homeschool legal defense website. I do not recommend them and I think joining is a waste of money, because they pick and choose who they represent so you aren't guaranteed representation should it be needed, but if you click on the link for In Your State you'll find the laws/guidelines for your state and you can go from there. They are support groups in every state and you could Google to try to find groups in your area. There is so much available to homeschoolers as far as curriculum and what fits for one doesn't for another. If your area is homeschool friendly you will find that there are classes or social activities planned during the day just for homeschoolers.
www.vegsource.com/homeschool is a good place to start, also www.teachingmom.com. You can ask questions,explore curriculum links, buy new/used curriculum, etc. While the homeschooling community in general is overwhelmingly Christian, there is a wide range of secular material available too and on the vegsource forum there is a secular board and I believe both forums have boards for special need families.
If your son needs services such as PT, OT, or ST he can still receive those through the public school system, even if he doesn't attend, because you are a taxpayer.
For the most part the public school system doesn't cause any problems. They don't want you to homeschool because they don't get the extra tax dollars, but as long as you follow the laws of your state they can't do anything. Some states are very homeschool friendly and there is absolutely no accountability (TX for one) and other states (PA) have a lot of hoops you must jump through.
Go to www.rainbowresource.com and order their catalog. It will totally overwhelm you when it get it and you see the huge volume of curriculum available to homeschoolers.
I've left my e-mail addy if you'd like more info.
Info inside (sm)
Go up to the top of this page under where it shows how many users are online. Click on search. Put Rapid Transcript in the search box. You will find many entries to read, many about them not paying. It would be faster than me typing it all in here again, and you might not get many responses because it was just discussed again a week or two ago. But, try that search up there at the top and you will find lots of info.
See inside for info..

WASHINGTON - The government estimates it takes taxpayers 28 hours and 30 minutes to complete an average tax return with itemized deductions and income reported from interest, dividends and capital gains. That's 42 minutes longer than last year.
Personal note; If you've been keeping your books updated and have well-ordered receipts, etc., above is probably average.

The Blue Screen of Death
Re: expanding with punctuation, more info inside
I have been working on this platform for over a year and absolutely LOVE it. It is not the same as autocorrect expansions. This platform offers a LOT more.
I will type this directly from my manual to explain how the ESP abbreviations are expanded:
Press or type a delinter (a spacebar, enter, period, colon, semicolon, comma, question mark or exclamation point) that is appropriate to the sentence text or punctuation. The exapansion appears AS SOON AS you type the delimiter.
You can highlight entire sentences, paragraphs, etc and enter them directly into the ESP list and make a short abbrev. to retrieve them.
To add an ESP, press control, control and type it directly in, or highlight text in your document and then press control control and name your short abbreviation for it.
Sometimes, depending if your sentences are really LONG you will have to copy/paste directly into ESP and then give it a short.
In addition, with ESPs you can format words to be BOLD by inserting a tag. You can also put a tag in for something underlined, italic, etc. They also allow you to insert pauses and backups in your ESP so that you can type yof and get the hyphen first -year-old female.
Pauses are really neat when you want to nest an ESP inside another one. For example: if you put the following entries in your ESP:
lt (left)
tphp (The patient had pain in the)
(The ESPs need to first be created and exist)
Now you type the abbreviation containing the pause then press spacebar. The sentence expands to the point of pause and then type the abbreviation you want to nest, press the spacebar and hit enter. The complete next appears in your document. Believe me, this is something Autocorrect cannot do and really comes in handy especially when you have really repitious dictators who always give the same order on vital signs, etc.
You can also run a microsoft word macro as part of an expansion if you want. There is a special dialog box that the ESP uses for this.
ESPs also allow suffixes to be added to root words (another feature) but this is something I haven't used much yet.
You can also create more than one list of ESPs (can have 2 open at a time).
This platform also allows you to make "normals" for really long documents. Say you have a 2 page op report that a doctor will use over and over. You can just bring the entire document in. You can edit these normals at any time. These are like templates that you can insert jump codes, all your headings, numbering formats, etc.
On this board, I've been reading a lot about how people run to buy either Instant Text or ShortHand (as these are compatible with Dictatphone) but this is not something you have to run out and purchase. The ESPs offer a lot more than autocorrect.
So far, my one list of ESPs has over 20,000 entries and my line counts daily for 8 hours average between 1500 and 1800. Not bad.
The platform is REALLY easy to work from as another poster said you can pull up previous dictation from another Transcriptionist and copy/paste directly into the document you are typing. This is a really great feature when you have those really lousy dictators who pretty much say the same physical exam, etc. You can then just follow along and edit as you go.
It really is easy to use, and personally I love the Expander and have no complaints. Good luck.
I never received, and neither did my
We were all at the big M. I just resigned after almost a year, and did meet all of their criteria. However, their system isn't correct and even said that I was not going to be hired when my friend asked about her referral bonus. Mind you...I had already worked there for 6 months at this point. I keep getting "I will check on it" when I ask about my sign on bonus. I gave up and left.
I have received these before too. sm
I just deleted it and ignored it.
I received this because...
I received this because I had posted on this forum about increasing my production. This particular person emailed me through this board with that response. And no, I am not going to send my work overseas to them for those of you who are wondering. lol
Oh, someone benefits from AAMT - AAMT DOES!

I have received the email too
I also have received an email and called them and they mentioned AAMT, which I do not belong to either. I have never even posted on this board before, but do receive the posting through email. I dont know where they received my email address and they did not know either.
Any other SS employees not received their..
paycheck? I am not looking to start anything, just wondering if I am the only one who hasn't gotten paid yet?
I received cookies
I received cookies from an MT company I know longer work for and of course nothing from the ones I do work for!!
How nice that he/she received it well. (nm)
(nm)
I have received several things
I've had messages from companies wanting me to subcontract, individuals sending resumes, etc. Some have mentioned getting my e-mail address from this board. I just hit delete after maybe mumbling a few *#&(#*(! Yes, their writing skills are lacking. My severely dyslexic son can form a proper sentence and spell better than these people.
No - but I received a call from them.
Did you talk with Ann? I have a friend who worked with them for a while and she liked the company but had problems that prevented her from working very much. Do you know what account you will be working on?
I just received an email
from my company saying that due to the storm the work was very low, one clinic closed and the other one was basically out of work (at least for what I do which is outpatient)....
I have received a few letters
so far. Keep those letters to The White House coming you guys! I am so trying to get our voices heard so that our careers may be saved. I am addressing outsourcing, offshoring, patient security, voice recognition and anything else that can come to mind concerning transcription. I want to have a packet of letters to mail off because that will have a greater impact versus just sending one letter here and there. Please join me! Deadline for sending letters is 1/28/09. Email me if you wanna join me:)
What did you click so that you received the
copy of the test? If you clcked the 'send' button and afterwards you received the completed copy of your test unedited) what's the problem, as your test was already gone. How could you have cheated if your test was already sent?
They immediately sent you a copy of your submitted test, unedited. for your files, as one cannot save testfiles.
I do not understand where your problem is?
Just wait for their response and I hope you get hired!
Have not received either imail or letter
regarding this subject. Would someone please summarize such email/letter in a post for us who have not received this info as of yet. TYIF
I received a letter from MQ CEO regarding the MT lawsuit
They have acknowledged the existance of lawsuit but in their CEO spin states only 3 (THREE) MTs are part of this action. I know I'm not part of the original 3 and I have joined the class action so either MQ CEO is blowing smoke or has his head up his A$$. Either way, it is typical of MQ CEO.
Has anyone ever received the referral bonus from MQ? sm
If so, how long did it take to get it and does it only apply if you are employee status?
...just went to the mailbox and have not received that letter as of yet. Thanks. nm.
nm.
What state are you in -- that you received the check already?
No check here, but does show up in ipay.
What does the attached letter say?
I received the same information yesterday.

I've actually received two raises from MQ...
just in the past three months! 
Hahaha. I just know I received it in an email
and regardless of the author, it is well written and speaks my perspective perfectly!
Thanks for the information, though!
I received an excellent education through M-TEC

Has anyone received a personal loan lately?
I had unexpected expenses and had to get a small one from HSBC. Here are the questions I was asked:
Do you have medical insurance? If so, what are the deductibles for hospital stays, office visits.
Do you have life insurance and if so, how much?
Do you have disability ins and if so, how much?
What is your home owner's insurance deductible?
What is car insurance deductible?
Who are your insurance carriers?
I do not recall these types of questions. I ended up buying 10/mo insurance coverage which includes disability and life insurance...for $2600. I am 48.
Is this new?
Has anyone here ever received a response or job offer SM
from posting your resume in the resume bank at MTStars? TIA!
I received an email also, but I'm not taking it
I'm not a member of the AAMT, I am not going to get my CMT, and I'm not taking this test either. I don't agree with anything the AAMT is doing nowadays and I will not give them any of my money. From what I gather being an RMT or CMT isn't really going to get you much further in this business anyway.
Received one also -- saving my pennies
Got my yesterday in the mail. Thought that they changed their name. And I thought it was personally addressed to me. Don't know how they got my name and my business name as I do not belong to the organization. Anyway gotta get my reservation in by December 20th or so.
I received the same e-mail. It came through with MTStars
on it just like every other e-mail I get through here does. All they would have to do is open a post and e-mail, they wouldn't have to now the address.
Still waiting: $60 earned or received? nm

I received this in an email and thought it was very
interesting and agree 100%.
Subject: Fw: Australians Say speak English
Please if you have not done so contact your government officials and let them know we want ENGLISH to stand as the language for America.
WOW!!! This is powerful. I agree with every word of the Prime
Minister's statements. Why can't we be like that? How come we don't
have a leader who will stand up like John Howard?
Subject: Australians Say speak English
Canada and the U. S. Need A Leader Like This!
Prime Minister John Howard - Australia
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday
to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to
head off potential terror attacks.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying
he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: '
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired
of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or
their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a
surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'
' This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials
and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'
' We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese,
Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to
become part of our society . Learn the language!'
' Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right
wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on
Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly
documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our
schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of
the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
' We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is
that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with
us.'
' This is OUR COUNTRY, O UR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you
every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining,
whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs,
or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other
great Australian freedom, ' THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
' If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here.
You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, CANADIAN & American
citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same
truths.

well i just received my letter today.

I never received 1099 forms when I
was an IC. I worked for a hospital for almost 10 years plus had other docs and an attorney. The attorney did give me one every year and it never conformed to my figures but I never had a problem.
I received an opt-out of a class action
lawsuit involving a certain MTSO and the other party involved (think it was formerly AAMT). Anyway, since I won't get a dime even after having been ripped off all those years, I just threw it in the garbage. AAMT, or whatever they call themselves now, plans on keeping ALL settlement monies for their greedy little selves.
When I worked for the MTSO there were rumors flying around about the 90 character line count that was then converted to 55 characters before going to the client. The MTSO pocketed the rest. Guess it really wasn't a rumor after all. How sad.
I also received a note today about hiring more if
we don't stay in turnaround, however, we WERE in turn-around!! I don't understand!
I was just recently switched to Amherst from another office on the West Coast (our account is now managed by Amherst, I should say). Was told it would be a great move for me, that they were an awesome team to work with. However, I've been threatened several times now by the threat that more will be hired if the work isn't caught up. What's up with that???
According to the Medquist Style Guidelines that I received,
it states that the one space rule applies following a period, in numeric lists, and following a colon. I received these guidelines in March from MQ. This is what I would go by. I was told that if I spaced twice I would receive a penalty on my QA reviews. Obviously, you are the uninformed one, so see ya later wench.
The last call I received after a huge mailing (sm)
And I mean huge, over 200 brochures with over 25 years of experience and a digital system -- they were willing to pay about 9 cents a line for surgery notes. Since I live in California, 16 cents would be more like it. I guess I'm not that flexible.
They must have answered that India ad. 
Has anyone received their W2 from Spheris or Webmedx. Yes, I work for both.

My daughter received SSI as she was born with a handicap, but (sm)
I believe it did go by what you made. I was a single parent at the time. Are there any associations maybe that are affiliated with your son's illness who might be able to point you in the right direction. Maybe help with prescriptions, if he takes any? I really feel for you, I know it's rough.
do reveal OP's true identity. I received
 an email and would like to know who I may be conversing with.
I received a flyer from Lippincott, Williams & --sm
Wilkins offering a trial study guid and CD to take the RMT exam. Has anyone done this? Where/when/how are the exams given?
Has anyone ever received the $500, $1,000 or $2,000 sign on bonus or is it just a scam?
I've worked for several companies who state $500 or $1,000 sign on bonus, but when it comes down to getting the bonus, some drop your QA rating when it was just from them changing formatting of the reports, abbreviation usage, dates in reports, etc. Then if you have a good QA rating, then they say you aren't meeting the required line count when you were meeting the required line count until it got time for the sign on bonus then they sling you a lot of ESLs just to slow you down. Just curious if there is a company out there that really gives the bonus and does not do things that prevent you from getting it?
I received one with my dorland Medical Dictionary
And it has been a great help. lp
