not that impressed by his song. I think Will is gone, he's good, he just out of his league with guys that sing for a living. He always reminds me of someone who is just standing up singing at the 4-H talent show, hasn't had time to develop his voice or true showmanship. I think Gedeon did a wonderful job last night, too.

not a bit homophobic. love queer guys for straight guys.
these guys are clever and witty and have good taste. they are who they are. not a problem. i have problems with boy-men who are currently trendy now. that's my taste. and it's kind of scary that women are attracted to these unisex boy-men culturally. no big deal unless you make it one. this is a board to exchange ideas right?
Katherine has got to go. I also thought Elliott and Taylor ruled the night!
Chris was okay, but we all KNOW he's better than this. I'm hoping his first CD is the "Walk the Line."
I do like Elliot...but I Love Taylor..
nm
just gotta love taylor!
I will watch this over and over--putting it on my favorites!
l love Taylor, I think he's a sweetie and seems genuine.
k
McPhee is too screechy. Love Taylor, but sm
he might not be versatile enough. Last week Elliot surprised me with his ability to sing the blues! He just might pull this off. I hope so, because he seems to genuinely nice. Love Taylor, though. I can't get enough of him. I'll buy his first CD for sure. Both guys would represent the USA well. I think Mattola will hook onto McPhee--he seemed smitten with her.
I love you guys! Too funny!!!
Thanks for making me start the day with a good laugh. 
Gay guys can be your best friend and truly understand women. I love them.
I would rather have any of the fab five for a friend than some PMS female who is jealous. There is nothing bad about being gay - well unless you are ULTRA "flamboyant"
Yes, love the show and last night's finale
I wonder what is going to be wrong with Julia's baby and if she is going to tell Sean or just sucker him yet again. Guess that's the big cliffhanger, along with what will happen to Matt over Ariel's dad. Wonder if Cherry actually killed him or just shot his you-know-what off. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');

I love the night shift! No interruptions and more work on the system.
I agree with poster below - Power NAPs! I am a napper, need my nap about 30 minutes to 1 hour, before my shift and a pot of coffee sometimes 2 gets me through!
LOVE ER!!! I watch the re-runs every day, and watch the new ones on Thursday night!!

I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
It's taco night! (again.....) We had taco pizza last night, southwestern chicken soup before th
Maybe I'll just have a salad.
You can *what if* yourself to death--sm
it sounds to me like your decision is already made.. gor for it! Giving up *free time* is never easy, but we need to earn a living too. Good luck to you!
EMR is NOT the death of MT
Even if the entire world went to EMR (which I doubt we'll ever see in our lifetime) it doesn't mean the death of the MT nor does it mean we will all have to go to VR. I transcribe for an office in NY that uses EMR, and once our reports are sent in, they go into a holding bin for the doctors to review and sign of on.Then the reports go directly into the patient's EMR. The only difference is no paper. We still get the same amount of work for the same amount of pay. There is absolutely no change to my routine. On the other hand I have an account out of AR that will probably never ever ever go to EMR unless the doctors are faced with losing their licenses or they retire (a good 20 years or more)
That just irks me to death.
I worked for a national that had two QA people on my account. The one QA person did it one way, and the other one did it another way. One pushed for combining forms, the other one said NO. I never knew who was working from one day to the next. I finally sent an email to both QA people, the account manager and the owner of the company with quotes from each of their corrections contradicting each other. I asked which way I should do it because I couldn't do it both ways. It took forever to sort out.
Income Tax after Death
I have a friend whose mother passed away in March of this year. She was an IC and thus earned income right up until the time of her death. Is her daughter now responsible for filing an income tax return and/or paying taxes on this income? I know an accountant for her would be handy in this situation, but I thought I might get some opinions here as well. Thanks!!
RE: Taxes after death
My mom died last year and the accountant did work up her taxes and they were paid by me. The money, of course, came from her account.
death toll
That is 53 confirmed deaths so far....Lord knows what the count will be when the water subsides, so it may be close to comparison with the Tsunami, I pray not.
Yes and lover her to death!
$50 a week. We have about 2500 sq ft and she cleans the whole house. I can't believe it took me as long as it did to hire someone.
I'm tested to death, too
If you create a folder on your desktop called "Sound Files" - then when you are downloading an mp3 file or whatever - right click and do "save to target" - then browse your desktop until you see sound files folder and make sure that is in the box. Then, the files will download to that folder. Then, when you double click on Express Scribe, up on the top you will see "Load" - click on this and then browse for your sound files folder. Highlight those you want to download into express scribe and then down at the bottom, hit ok or load (can't remember which it is). They will then be loaded into express scribe, ready to go.
Death summary on someone who...
had died for the same disease as my dad, lymphoma. The summary went through the last month of her life and the hospital stay. At that time, my dad was not in the hospital, but was showing these same signs. So, I knew what was forthcoming for him. And, needless to say, it happened the same way with very few changes. Talk about a tear jerker and a tough one to type.
Death in family
As the "executrix" in my family it was my duty to be sure everyone was treated fairly. Some things were taken by family members without waiting and rather than get upset about it, I let it go. I just made sure the written wishes in the "will" were carried out. Some did take things that should have been given to others, but I knew better than to bring it up,since it would only make for family problems ad infinatum. You don't know if there was something about the jacket that made this person feel her father's presence, not thinking of where it really "belongs." I agree that it should go back to you but in my experience, they might say, "it was a gift" and never be on good terms with you again. Let it go, believe me, this is what this wonderful man would have wanted you to do. It's hard, it's difficult, but "letting go" will give you more freedom. Perhaps at a later point you could mention how much the jacket meant to your son and how you are glad it was not given to a stranger. Perhaps she'll come to her senses. She's in too much pain right now to think straight. Wait a week or two and don't cause a permanent rift. You'll be proud of yourself later. It's material. Bad feelings go on forever. Somehow "grace" is always the best under pressure. Sorry for your loss.
Death in family
Quickly - ask for it. Otherwise, it might be sold in a yard sale. I know that when my father-in-law died, my mother-in-law's mother and sister came in and cleaned out the house - within 3 weeks you would have never known that he had lived there. They took and sold everything that they wanted, left my mother-in-law with a few pictures and her own memories. Thankfully, her mother died this year - she and the sister were real vultures. Hope this helps, but whatever you do, fight or no fight - get it back - you will be glad that you did and so will your son.
scared to death...what to do
Okay, now that I have job offers, I have to figure out what to do. 
Right now: I am employed on site as an admin asst with great insurance, good pay, people I like, and job security. The downside is missing my family--I only see them about four hours in the evenings and most of that is bathtime, cooking supper, you get the picture. I also have quite a drive to work and parking is HORRIBLE. I feel I work LONG weeks and then have little to show in the way of my emotional outlook and cash left over after buying gas, etc.
What could be: I have job offers to come back home and type full time. I would be here to see my children and be close to their schools if something happened. Also, my husband has built me a gorgeous office by closing in a porch, so there's a big three-paned picture window that overlooks my garden. I can envision myself at home, but there's a tremendous amount of fear that's holding me back. I am AFRAID because I remember how long it took to get lines in every day. I worry about the security of benefits, PTO, and just the job itself. I don't want to be sitting in this office 7 days a week from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. I hope I'm more capable than that, but sometimes it's not the MT, it's the conditions, and if I give up my other job...
I guess I am just venting and worrying and wondering. After a two-year break, can I come back home and be productive and accountable as an MT? Can I count on the industry? I really wanted to come home, but now I'm afraid.
TIA for any and all suggestions!
BORED TO DEATH
Does anyone else get sick and tired of doing the same work, same doctors, same everything day in and day out? I am bored to death with this job! I like the job just not the same stuff. I think I need a change!!!!
Death summary
Dr. dictates:
Reason for Death: Incompatibility with life.
The VR is what bored me to death..sm
I would actually get to the point where I could feel my head nodding...80% of what I got was VR....I was beginning to feel retarded. The only straight transcription that was sent to me were the worst dictators, cause the company knew I would do it, take my time, research, relisten, etc. I've always felt more alive transcribing than editing.  Cat
Sick to death of this!
Now, I'm sure that this has been covered again and again, but I am so upset that I just have to say something! I am so SICK and TIRED of every single job listing saying, "New graduates need not apply," etc. It's like a slap in the face...you're not good enough, we just know it, don't even THINK about submitting you resume to us you subhuman. I have worked at previous jobs in which I was as good after two months of experience as some who had been working there 3 or more years. (I'm sure everyone has had this feeling. I'm not trying to insinuate that I'm a genius or anything.) Why can't anyone just give me a chance? How do they know that I'm not good enough?!?!? Meanwhile, I've invested a moderate amount of money and a huge amount of time into this for what??? Anyway, that's my rant. Thanks for listening and sorry for the negativity.
death summaries
I've typed several that have left me sobbing, spilling tears on my keyboard quite literally, over the line: The patient passed away peacefully with his entire family at the bedside. After I would dry my tears and wipe off my keyboard, I would wonder why that statement was deemed medically pertinent?
Regarding Taylor... Is it just me or....
has he gone from a rather sloppy looking spazz to looking pretty sexy? Okay, maybe it's because he seems a little older than the rest because of the gray hair (he's 16 years my junion), but he's kinda HOT these days! Last night when he was danced I was thinking........ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Can't wait to see him do Elvis next week. 
Go Taylor! nm
nm
Taylor-Taylor-Taylor
I hope it's Taylor...I'm anxious to see if anything goes on tonight about last week's shocker when Chris got kicked off...lots of stuff on the 'Net about voting being wrong, etc...have to wait and see.
 GO TAYLOR!!!
NO, YA NUT - Taylor isn't on anything....nm
Taylor will win. sm
Last week, all of Birmingham greated Taylor back home, and Kat only filled half a gym. Taylor has never been in the bottom 3 and Kat has. They are both going to be very rich, but Taylor will win.
Taylor
I loved Taylor tonight. I really liked the last song he sang. I just got done having an argument with my husband who thinks that Katharine will win and should win and that if Taylor wins he won't sell any records. He just doesn't get it. My daughter and I have been trying to vote for Taylor since the show ended, but can't get through.
taylor fan
Yes, Taylor, you make me PROUD! He was so cute tonight!
Once had a supervisor who nitpicked me to death, my first job,
took it and took it, until FINALLY one day, she told me that "mcg" was not abbreviation for micrograms....that's when I QUIT and went home!
So the solution is clubbing 50,000 to death?
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze. I'm sorry, but that's just an ignorant comment.
blue screen of death
I'm not sure if he went back to myspace a second time, I'll have to ask him. Thanks for all the help. I got it at Best Buy so I think I'll take it back there and see what they have to say also. I just don't want him away at college and have the darn thing crashing all the time. It's not like you can just keep buying new ones at that price!
DRG'S - DEATH OF BIG BUCKS FOR DOCTORS
I still remember when DRGs came into healthcare - before that - you could just go to the hospital and get yourself admitted - relax for a few days or a week - have nice nurses to wait on you hand and foot, and then leave - with the insurance company picking up the tab. Oh, they would give you some aspirin or tylenol - something to charge for and do a complete routine lab panel on you at each admission, but you didn't have to have anything really wrong with you in order to get in. Then came the DRGs, insurance coding and the end of the primadonna transcriptionists - This also ended the big bucks to the physician's (for the most part). Some still make a lot - but it is due more to savvy investments than it is from healthcare. Google DRGs if you want to find out more, especially those of you who are new transcriptionists. Our days of the "big bucks" is over, as well. I have seen about a 50% decline in pay from when I started working 15 years ago. Most of that within the past 5 years.
It may die a slow death. Agree with having more than one
nm
I agree - slow death
I don't think it's on its way out just yet, but the type of work is changing and with VR and EMR, who knows how long we will be typing. I do agree, also, ongoing for coding. I think the more diverse you make yourself, the better off you will be. Never put all your eggs in one basket. Good luck!
Years ago I did a death summary by a GI doc.
I don't think GI docs are used to having patient's die and I don't know if it was his first patient to die not, but he was crying so hard at the end of thedictation it was hard for him to dictate. I think he was in his second year of practice, so around 30. I can't remember he if made a statement or not, but I'll always remember him crying.
I hope it's not Taylor!
He just had a bad week. Please spare Taylor :) My prediction is that it's Ace.
You are right--TAYLOR is HOTTTTT!
He gets hotter by the week! Yowza!!!! I know he's not married and haven't heard anything about a GF. Somebody better snatch him up, and quick! He's about 6 years younger than me--I can live with that!
Go TAYLOR!!!!!.....AI wants a male to win!! n/m
Taylor or Elliott
I'm rooting for Taylor or Elliott now that Chris is gone. I really don't want Katherine to win, but I have the feeling she will. Supposedly people are saying she's more "marketable"
My vote goes for Taylor
I must admit the first few weeks watching him was soooo annoying, but he has grown on me and I actually enjoy watching and listening to him sing and perform. He's good and I think he deserves to win! However, I must say I was confident that Chris would win, but unfortunately not. Therefore, my vote is for Taylor!!!!
GO TAYLOR, GO!
Agree Taylor!
I think Taylor will win it all. And I agree with what the poster said about Katharine. There is just something about her. When the judges say something bad she always has this look like, well that's what you think, but you're crazy.
According to Diaidol.com, Elliott is at the bottom, but it's very close. They're been right three weeks in a row.
I really like Elliott the best but I think Taylor
will win. I just think it's a shame if Kat is in the final two. I think Elliott completely deserves to be at LEAST 2nd. I think he will do well regardless and hope he gets a record deal out of this at least. He's different, Taylor is different, but nothing about Kat is anything but ordinary. Of course Chris was different too. I thought it would be cool to be down to the three guys. I think they're all unique, they all have completely different styles, and that's great. I think they ARE American Idols. They each highlight a different kind of music that Americans love. I really hope that Elliott stays tonight!
