I posted this advice a few months ago.  I got sooooooooo tired of going to get ice and finding empty trays in the freezer and some in the sink.  So I just threw them out. 

About 2 days later, the kids (and hubby) are like, "How come we don't have any ice? And where are the ice cube trays"  My reply was, "I THREW the ice cube trays away because we NEVER have had any ice and we NEVER will. At least this way I KNOW that when I want some ice for my soda, there will not be any ice in my house EVER AGAIN!"  :) 

They all thought I was crazy.

I also put the trash can out in the garage and I hang up a plastic grocery bag on the door handle of the garage door until it is full enough to tie up and go out in the trash can.  Otherwise, I get the "TOSS" with spilled stuff everywhere,  and the "PYRAMID" and have to get out the trash bags to clean the stuff up.

I shined my house spotless one day and then spent a couple of weeks cleaning just my own stuff.  Washed my own dishes, cleaned my own spills, picked up my own clothes, did my own laundry (including towels that I hid for myself) cleaned my "toothpaste overflow" out of the bathroom sink, etc. (of course I cleaned the toilet and washed the floors, because that is just to icky).

At any rate, after the first day, they were washing dishes on "as per needed" basis.  After about 3 days, everyone was like, "Why is the house such a mess?"

I said, as I walked over shoes that didn't make it into the "shoe basket" by the door, and totally ignored the "clutter" everywhere: "GEE I don't know, I clean up after myself well enough."

They got the hint.  Things aren't immaculate, but much better.

Then threw up approximately every hour from 10:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. Christmas morning.  Not the Christmas I had planned, up cleaning bodily fluids all night.  Somehow Santa managed to come overnight, too.  My husband, me and the 2-year-old didn't get the bug until last night, it's vicious!  Hopefully that's all over now and we can enjoy the rest of our vacation!

Is there a way to tell if low RAM is slowing things down or if it is just the platform?  I have various problems (aside from several-second delays with certain things) that I think may be due to lack of RAM.

I use a lot of online and computer resources, so I probably need a lot of RAM.

Any way to tell? 

Just curious is this person located in California?

I bought Medispell, but is not quite as good as the Stedman's.  Guess I will make do for awhile.  Could not find Stedman's on E-bay at the time.  I would also love to be able to load it on two computers. 

Hello

I am currently in the process of getting my 2 local physicians up and running with digital.  I bought them each an Olympus DSS 330 hand-held recorder (do an internet search for cheapest price, like with Nex-Tag).  The software is very easy to use, and it's easy to transfer the files onto the computer.  I then bought space on CryptoHeaven, which encrypts the files and enables me to transfer files to and from the physicians.  I only need the smallest amount of space, which costs 2.49/month.  This way the office can upload the files or email them to me through the email accounts that CryptoHeaven provides.  This is the cheapest way I have found.  The only down side for me is that I have dialup.  If your physicians have dialup, then this will be a big draw back, as it took me about 30 minutes to email or upload one of the audio files.  This is just one of many ways to go.  I also looked into DocShuttle, but it is way more than I need and too expensive, as I do this just on the side.  If you find a cheaper, easier way, please let me know.  Good luck.  Email me with any further questions.  Lynn

curious what posts you get.

I lived in an area that did not offer DSL or cable.  I had satellite through Dish, but they didn't offer satellite internet either.  I had to move in town temporarily where I'm able to get DSL, but I'll be moving back out to my old place soon.

I worked for MQ on DocQScribe for years without any problems on dial-up.  I did have to tell my internet provider not to boot me off if I appeared idle or was on the internet for hours because I was working. 

I applied for several jobs since moving into town.  During the interview process, I always explained that while I had DSL now, I would not have it available after moving back to my home.  Most of them were unsure if dial-up would work.  When I explained that I had no problems with DocQScribe on it, they were fine with dial-up.  Some even went on to say that they thought they still had a couple of employees on dial-up (now that I mentioned it).  They were, however, careful to mention that I may experience problems with getting dropped by my internet and that their program may run a little slower.  I told them that was no problem for me.

I also looked into a few other options.  There are some things like cards available to plug into your computer.  I think they're a little pricy - but it may be worth it in the long run.  There's also Hugo satellite, which I think is about $60 a month.  I'm sure if you research a little more, you can find these and other options.  I always felt like helpless in this situation, too, but we do have options.  I wish I could tell you more about these, but I'm not that much of a techno girl.  You should be able to find something in the archives - maybe just searching the word dialup.  Good luck.

You are not alone. I have been looking for a new position since December 10th and applied to several companies. I have 5 years of acute care experience at a local hospital near my home. I have certificates in medical transcription and an associates degree. I have not heard anything from anyone. I have taken test after test. It is frustrating. It is starting to get tight financially with my family as well due to this. I will be praying for you and your situation.

I receive feedback via email.  There's one QA who is constantly sending me nit-picky feedback, which I place in a folder that I might read someday.  It's usually nitpicky stuff which reflects her own style, not any format requirement by the client, and it just serves to irritate me.  I have been told not to respond to her email feedback at the risk of wasting her time!!!  So, I just ignore her emails until I feel ready to deal with them.  In the meantime, I have provided my mighty jack telephone number to her, a phone that is only turned on during work hours, for her to use whenever she has something really important to share.
