we make more than we can consume so he can bring the leftover for his dinner the next day.
So far all I have is some fresh green beans and potatoes....nm

Baked ham, corn souffle, green beans, dessert....

Tuna mac, green beans, bread slices. Very cheap and good.
All in the world tuna mac is, is a can or two of tuna drained and mixed in with the box kind of mac n' cheese. Serve with a can of green beans and a slice of bread.

For the nickel allergy, you can paint
the metal with clear nail polish. I do that where my watch sits against my skin - one of my MDs suggested it.

I have very mild eczema, and my skin likes the new Ivory soap that has aloe vera in it.
I presume you reuse your nickel otherwise - sm
many here would need 200+ rolls of nickels a day to do this. I use a timer to increase my speed. I set it for 30 minutes and see how many minutes of work on a particular doctor I can get done in that time. I generally average 8-9 minutes in 30 minutes which for me is a good amount. I am trying to do it all the time now so I work smarter and faster.
Your son wants broccoli? Is he feeling well?
I would know my kids were very ill if they ask for it!
I hope "sm" got my apology about the nickel.
nm
Ham, broccoli and cheese casserole.
mmmmm!
Hmmm - a can of Wasabi peas. :) nm

My kids LOVE broccoli!! NM

My 7-year-old likes broccoli!
Which is great because I love it. I don't even have to put cheese on it for him. Don't know how it happened really. I just put it on his plate and he thought the *little trees* were cool!
Nickel and dime accounts/misc charges
I do not nickel and dime my accounts to death.  What I charge per line covers my time of delivery, printing, cutting apart chart notes, reruns when needed, etc.  If you hit them with this charge and that charge they very well could look elsewhere that just gives one price for everything, all included.  Simplicity.   Sure just like now I scanned a tape to do a STAT H&P for surgery but the doctor did it on the hospital line and did not write it down as he usually does, yes it took me 10 to 15 minutes but will I charge them NO.  WHY because yesterday I made $130 in less than two hours on their account and I received my checks one day after invoicing.  I invoice on the 25th, receive check today and it was due until the 1st.  And also they treat me like one of the team and appreciate what I do.  But you do what you need to do but if you keep it simple without all the extra charges, they will like you better.  You have to figure your nonbillable time into your rate.    Good luck.   Patti
Sure could. It was a nickel and a penny. Then they made King Size Cokes that you SM
had to pay a dime for. Cigarettes were 28 cents. You put in a quarter and a nickel (the machine) and you got a pack of cigarettes with two pennies in the cellophane. Ugh. I'm really telling on myself here.
give out cans of peas...word gets around fast! Har Har nm
boo!
Chicken pastry, garden peas, cornbread

Just got back from buying the dried peas - if it's cold tomorrow, pea soup for us
I love pea soup.
I wish I could - I have a fireplace but am allergic to...sm
fresh burning wood.  Wah!!!
Allergic to "cillins."
Is it acceptable to transcribe this as cillins, or is there an exceptable expansion I can use?
Yes, am allergic to their lipstick. Never tried anything else but that and
broke out with blisters on my lips. I am not prone to fever blisters or any of the sort. Dermatologist said I was allergic to whatever ingredients were in it. Never tried it again, use CoverGirl, and never had blisters again!
I'm allergic to my new earphones!!!

I know this sounds nuts (I'm nuts), but my noise-dampening earphones arrived a week ago and I put them on.  I should tell you that I have sensitivities to latex and adhesives, but this is not a problem I deal with very often.  Anyway, I donned and immediately began getting itchy.  I ignored it. Then my ears began to burn. I kept typing like a "good" MT.  Tee hee.  Then I started getting hives and my throat started to itch.  Yikes!!  Okay, that got my attention.  So I took them off and took a Benadryl.  I haven't touched them for this whole week, until today.  I tried them again, albeit foolishly, thinking it wouldn't happen again.  I was willing to think it was psychosomatic (allergy to work, ya know).  Ummm, nope.  It all happened again.  Oh well, at least Transcription Gear has a 30-day guarantee.  Wait until I give them my "reason for return".  Crazy.  I thought I'd give you all a 'Buyer Beware', 'FYI', and stuff like that...  See ya! 


possible allergic reaction to something--sm
You also sound like you think it may be psychosomatic, which is always a possibility, but don't think so. possibly mumps, which is going around again these days. Get to a doctor. soon. jmo
Sweet and Sour Soup, Potstickers, Mandarine Salad, Beef and Broccoli.
Gotta love him.

a coworker is allergic to the foam
covering as well. either way they make my ears hurt/red so i put just a tiny bit of cotton from a cotton ball inside each ear before putting on my headset and don't have any problems.
It does sound like an allergic reaction...
What did he eat or drink prior to breaking out?  As long as it doesn't get any worse, I would just ride it out.  But if it does, I would follow the advice of the other poster.
I'm allergic to the daggon things, but I STILL

Could be Flonase, but that is usually 50 mcg for non-allergic symptoms
Might get more of a response on Word Help board instead
Grilled steak with salsa, broccoli and baked potatoes with sour cream -- One of my favs!
nm
No, but I knew someone allergic to the foam covering.
Might be something to ponder.
I used to use MK foundation, but they changed the formula and now I'm allergic to it.
It makes my eyes water and I can't wear it any longer.  I haven't found a foundation that I like as well as the previous MK formula.  I wish they hadn't changed it.
They are basically "sister" drugs. I am allergic
to naproxen, so cannot take ibuprofen now, as they are closely related. I would think if naproxen isn't helping, neither will ibuprofen. Try something unrelated like Tylenol?
his next allergic reaction will be quicker and worse.
get thee to an allergist.
It's not unusual for a patient listed as allergic to penicillin to be given it anyway.
Often it's the only drug that will work and the allergy was vague and from so long ago, they deliberately try it anyway. If that had been the case, you'd have more than likely gotten a very negative response.
let them eat beans?!!
Tell it to them sister!!!  Thirty miles away I can get a job as a receptionist making the same amount as I was making as a Transcriptionist at my local hospital 13.50/hr, as a transcriptionist.  No worries about 98% accuracy.  I could even make a mistake every once in a while, like a regular human being, as a transcriptionist!!!!!!
Red beans and rice.
Husband's fave, not mine. Smelly.
Yes, please somebody spill the beans.....
I'm STILL not hearing anything.  Musta forgot to pay the darn light bill.  smiley
When I worked for a vet. guy had dog allergy tested and dog was allergic to human dander. No kidding
:I
A bag of jelly beans is one of my favorites.
Use a large clear bag (if you can't find a clear trash bag, a drycleaning bag will work but does tear easily), cut holes in the bottom of the bag for your feet to go through and fasten the top around your neck.  Fill with a variety of colors of small balloons.  The small ballooons used for water balloons (however just fill them with air) work great.  Take the label from a bag of jelly beans and enlarge it on the copy machine and either trace it onto the front of the costume or could even just adhere the copy to the costume.  Doesn't work well if you have to travel very far in a car or have to sit very much, however!
Red beans and rice with smoked sausage...

And strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for dessert...wow hungry now!


you're mixing apples and beans here...sm

Some of us are heavy patriots, sons and daughters of America, but do not like what's going on in D.C.  It's as simple as that.  They are tapping 100,000+ Americans.  Do you really believe that one-third of our country is involved with terrorists?  Doubtful.....not even half that number.  This administration simply TAKES advantage at every turn...in every nook and cranny that they can.


They are the reason the work force across the USA is highly upset, doesn't matter which state, which city, nobody is a happy camper in the regular work force today in the USA.  I blame D.C.


Yes, GOD Bless the men and women who would fight for us to keep us FREE throughout history.  And I will bless the men and women who are fighting today in Iraq


....but know it's over oil....do not delude yourself. 


Just one person's opinion......we were ALL duped...approval rating as of yesterday and this includes everyone, whether reps or dems, was 29%....


Any way to avoid it?
My parents both lost hearing with age and I have seen how isolating it is.

Is there any way to avoid that with this job? I try to keep my volume down, but they way the dictators speak, I can't help but crank the volume quite a bit.

Did enough rock & roll blasting when I was young!

Any ideas?
Here's one to avoid -
My BF picked this up to try it for his laptop. It worked great for the first few days (long enough to get past the 'money back' offer), and then it suddenly began disconnecting him up to 12 to 15 times in a 4 hour period. I'm not sure about the legalities of using these types of devices to transcribe medical reports so I never tried it, but he said it was one of the most frustrating internet situations he'd ever been through.

If you've got Cricket stations in your area and they're offering their "unlimited" broad-band service for $40/month, I'd suggest applying that $40 toward a reliable service.
