Pure Citrus. sm
I got a can of stuff at WM called pure citrus.  It is pure orange OIL and it works on ANY odor.
and nothing but pure speculation.......

Pure, unadulterated BOLOGNE!!!...or...
would you say "baloney?"  Probably.
My take on that is that alot of it is pure FANTASY.
Just to make my minimum lines, I'm working 10-11 hours days, plus at least part of Sat., and am making about $23,000/year. And I'm not a newbie, either - been at it for over 30 years.
Oh man,pure-dee evil stuff! "Worse" when you use

Has anyone used the Eden Pure Heater as a supplement?

I hear Paul Harvey advertise this heater on the radio all the time and I am considering it for our house for this winter. I just wonder how much it might really save us since we use propane to heat and this is an electric heater. It sounds good according to what I have heard and read but obviously I don't really know.


I am in my home office most of the day and thought I could turn our furnace down low as there is no need to heat the entire house when I spend at least 8 hours a day in my office and I am the only one at home during the day. I could just close my office door and use this heater and maybe save some $. We have a 1600 sq. ft. home, one level, and we spent about $1900 for propane last year (including hot water heater and gas cooking stove).  I wore thermals and warm clothes as well as used a snug snack while working but I am always cold and had the thermostat turned up to 72 during the day and 66 at night.


I will post the link for those that might be interested in knowing more bout the heater.


Pure opinion dear. I make an extra 1 cpl with CMT. As well,
I can see that you, however, are an angry, disgruntled person.

Just because YOU didn't get the bennies and YOU can't make a good living doesn't mean the rest of us are doomed to your fate!!


Self Defense, pure and simple. I am leaving this board as of --sm
today because of you and your obnoxious attitude. I know you don't care, but you should, being a *fellow MT*, but everything revolves around you and you always being right. You remind me of KiKi. YOu like to take cheap shots at everybody who does not have the same opinion as you about anything, just as long as you can start an argument and keep it going. You are vicious, rude, crude, and a definite infant. I will pray for you. good bye.
BS pure and simple. Nobody and I mean NOBODY is making $36/hour in this profession.

I have almost 20 years experience and the best I can do on a good day where I have few interruptions and have been chained to my PC for 8 straight hours I can make $20 per hour, MAYBE $25 but that is pushing it.  And I have my own accounts and have used my Expander to death.


Is this Sally Struthers?


It's pure luck anymore, Steveo. The biggest bucks
s
maybe it's just a pure and simple invasion of privacy the poster feels they want to protect.
if you do your job, who cares if poster was released from prison. weren't companies hiring prisoners to do MT anyway and weren't they doing credit card customer service?
IGNORANCE
You should really keep your mouth shut about the situation here in Florida and elsewhere. These folks have been devastated, homes gone, jobs gone, these are everyday people and NOT WELFARE LINE recipients. Wake up and stop being so self-centered. When one day you slip into a bad situation you will be asking for help too. I all most fell off my chair when I read your ignorant, uninformed post. You should be ashamed and ask forgiveness and apologize to this board for y our inhuman and slanderous insinuations.
MT in Florida ..
Sorry for the ignorance sm
I was using "anon" but not anymore since someone else has posted a nasty remark here. Why the nasty replies on here? I agree, this is supposed to be the helping profession. I think Cobra is only a bridge between jobs to help you with bennies but is only temporary, not sure of time, but this is the law and cannot be changed. I had to have private insurance just for myself as husband had his own on retirement but I was too young. I had to buy from a private Blue Cross through a group plan through the Chamber of Commerce in my area and so expensive. Big $$$ and no other way. I wish you the best, there is no real solution except to get into a job that offers bennies but sometimes you make more on your own and buying your own ins. Again, sorry some others are so mean, there are a few on here, unfortunately, that's why I chose to be "anon" before but never again! I am not  associated with that poster.
Sorry about my ignorance here, but what does EMR really mean for the MT?

Even if the system goes electronic, won't MTs still be needed?  Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question! 


you are showing your IGNORANCE
Apparently that is all you have gained from 'getting out, living and learning'.

Knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.

I hope you truly 'get smart' by the time you have to give an account for all you have done and not done to the One that made you.
scuse my ignorance,
but what's an SE?  Thanks
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss....sm
If I had known EVERYTHING about starting a business and listened to all the naysayers, I never would have done it.  Bought a computer, printer, fax, and dictaphone(no on line work then), and sent out letters, flyers, had cards printed, and knocked on dr. office doors to get my own work.  I pretty much knew nothing except how to transcribe and was very good at it, I thought!  Soon learned I was very good at what I knew but just as green as a newbie with new fields.  Ended up with a very successful service and 10-12 employees.  Supported my family and still do.  Big difference in being prepared now is having the capability to do voice files.  Eventually, you need a phone so your name is listed in the phone book and an accountant to do the financial stuff.  You just have to have the basic knowledge that you probably already have, and learn as you go. 
Sorry, then, was showing my ignorance! :) nm

showing my ignorance
I did not know there were services like that, how do you contact them, what are they called?
Pardon my ignorance but sm
When did they start using flash drives and how? Most of mine don't know how to use the computer! Please share. Sorry for your problem, sounds like the office manager is gloating over this - it's their problem, not yours. Charge them for the lines find out how computer literate the staff is. They usually pay peanuts and get monkeys!
They say ignorance is bliss. You must be a very ingnorantly

Hate to show my ignorance ... what is ME? nm

scuz my ignorance, whats this about?
x
Their ignorance doesn't hurt me

as much as the ignorance of people who should know better - like our "supervisors" etc.  The only answer to nurses or anybody else who thinks like them is to give them a test tape and let them "have at it".  That's usually a good eye opener, or mind opener.


 


Okay, I am going to show my ignorance, but don't you still have to have a foot pedal and...sm
so have to be connected to an outlet? I know you can have that on your porch/deck, etc. but that does limit the mobility aspect doesn't it or can it be done without a foot pedal? I don't mean to sound stupid, but this is all new to me.
Your obvious ignorance is not worth responding to, NM

Guess I have to show my ignorance -- what is myspace? TIA nm

I hate to show my incredible ignorance, but how do I sm

find out what type of processor my computer has?  I know it is a Pentium, but I cannot remember if it is a 3 or a 4.  I tried System Tools, but that was of no help at all.  :(


 


Thanks for your help.


Mensa AND common sense -- prejudice obviously ignorance
Oh bosh.  I am a member of Mensa and a medical transcriptionist.  I think it is VERY narrow minded of the whole bunch who criticize something they no NOTHING about.  Mensa is simply an organization whose qualification is that you test in the top 2 percent on any of a couple of different IQ tests.  High IQ and common sense are not mutually exclusive.  I have two other comments:  Intelligence is matriarchal (look it up) and if you would like the cheapest way of finding out your true IQ Mensa is generally the cheapest way to do it.   It used to consist of 15 bucks and a Saturday morning at a university test -- but I'm sure there are more modern ways now.   Contact American Mensa and find out.  They are a very interesting bunch and have special interest groups which consist of just about any topic you can think of from alcoholics to chocoholics to irish dancing and beyond.... 
Should I chalk your post up to just plain old ignorance, the fact that you can't read or SM
are you just plain stupid!
Pardon me, but your ignorance and obvious lack of class are showing.

get a life, this is extensively documented. Pick up a book some time, ignorance

ignore them

let's try to ignore them
I for one will no longer open a post that looks like a bash. We have things to work out and I come her to connect, I don't want to waste time with them anymore. I feel badly for the new people who were on this morning, hopefully they will find other means if they don't come back on.
JUST IGNORE HER. She is going
to go on and on and on. She has been talking about this since July 4th. Please give us a break. Not even going to read all of the posts below. She keeps saying the same thing; and if everybody would stop responding, she will just go away. WE GOT YOUR POINT. NOW STOP.
Ignore her. She's obviously new.
NM
Just ignore.....
that one's an obvious troll. Up and down the board slammin everyone. Anyone with a brain can read these posts and see that YOU didn't say plenty, and that she's obviously trying to start a fight. Just ignore...maybe if we don't feed it will leave. Kind of like a stray animal...though I usually feed those (of course they're usually much nicer:)
Ignore her, she is just being a troll!
nn
You are right, I need to ignore it. I just really don't understand
why she is allowed to continue to post. It is so obvious who she is. The same style. Same emothicon used constantly. I need to remember "Do not feed the Troll". LOL.
never ignore your gut feelings
Every time I have ever ignored mine, I have regretted it. This is especially true when it comes to being a mom. Maybe it is mother's intuition or whatever. Kinda like when a kid wants to know why they can't do something...."Because I said so" sounds so lame when you don't really have a reason. However, I've learned the hard way if I feel something is wrong to listen to my inner instinct--it has never been wrong.
I will not ignore her; I will back her up
We can only blame MTs to a point.  It's the owner of the company hiring cheap labor and not caring if they can do the job as long as a good Editor will clean up the mess.  That's the problem.  The boss saving a penny here and there.  It's going to backfire on a lot of them.  Pennywise and pound foolish.
Anyone here ignore the BOS rules?
I find local docs and clinics here in NE do not care about the BOS rules and actually consider some of them "mistakes." They like things done the way they always were. It drives me crazy trying to stick to the "new rules" when even the samples they give me are set up the same way they have been doing things for years. I find they still make sense and cannot get my brain to wrap around doing things differently for each account. I am ready to give up.I was told by an ivy league institution health clinic to do it "their way" which has been in place since the dark ages. Am I alone in this predicament?
Ignore poster below.
She gives the same attitude to everyone who posts looking for a good company.

Sad thing is it's usually new people to the board, and then they think everyone's like that.

You can start by taking a look at the job seeker's board. If you see a company that might fit what you're looking for you can search the archives and get some opinions.

You may have to test with a few companies before you get the actual information, so don't be shy about applying to many.

Tell him to ignore the beeps...sm
I used to use one and had one doctor complain of that constantly.  I was getting the dictation with no problem, so I told him to ignore the beeps and anything else he heard on the line.  Worked out just fine. Hope that helps!
If there is one bill you NEVER ignore

mortgage.  Always, always keep in touch with them even if you don't have the payment.  Your not alone in your dilemma.  The mortage companies have been very flexible and willing to work with payment issues in the past year.  Not sure if the options are still available since they've started foreclosure proceedings, but there are payment plans and now the popular "modification" loans.  Pick up the phone and call them - do it ASAP.  Explain your situation, decreased income, ARM adjustment and see if there is an option to keep you in the home at a payment that is comfortable.  I know many of the lenders are waiting for the exact guidelines on March 4th under the new stimulus plan to come out.  Hopefully this will be the saving grace some are hoping for. 


I wish you luck though, I know you're in a touch situation.  I was there too so can truly sympathize.  My loan is currently pending modification, but I first started with a payment plan.  My fingers and toes are crossed. 


Ignore that message!!!

I got the same thing last week.  I was on the internet and a message came up that looked like it was from Windows (but it  from somewhere on the internet) saying how many trojans and bad stuff I had on my computer.  It's a total crock!!!  If you responded to the message and click ok, you I couldn't say for sure what you are in for.  Someone is trying to get access to your computer.  If you are uneasy about something, listen to that inner voice.  You can always do a check later on your own to verify anything.


If you just had it cleaned up by a professional and have a good firewall and antivirus installed on your computer then don't worry about it if you didn't get curious about the message.  If you did then you might need to check that out.


just ignore the naysayers sm
you are the one making the money and doing the work and only you!  We have all heard this kind of stuff.  Just keep laughing all the way to the bank as you work at home. I am sure most of us who have made it in this business whether with our own accounts or a national (national for me and it can work) have heard all the put downs and negativity.  Just ignore it all. You know what you can and cannot do!  I think a lot of the negativity stems  from jealousy whether admitted or not!
Ignore that post as best you can
I think it's the same 'ethnic' (Indian?) troll that keeps spamming up all the threads trying to antagonize and provoke people. It's all over the main board, company board and MQ board.

Perhaps if we all ignore it, it will float away to whatever continent it came from.
Just ignore it SS, people are going sm
to argue no matter what. I think sometimes folks just get use to living on more and "spend" every dime they make never thinking things might get slow. When it does, then they are hurting. I know, I have been there and to adjust! It can be done. You know the old saying, the more you make, the more you spend?

You are wise not to retire! I see too many people who retire and their brains rot! I think if you can do this as long as you want, at least you know your mind is ok! I don't have to work, but I intend to keep working as long as I can. I have quite a few more years as I am 53 now.
