In my state, you have 4 years to settle. But, what they are offering is X amount LESS the 5000 in medical bills, WRONG,is not happening. Until they begin to talk "new money", a settlement is not going to happen. The guy totaled a brand new car, had 13 days. Good luck, but would never settle until all pain is gone and medical bills have been paid, wait until it is getting close to the 2 year limit.

August 24th. Can't wait for those bigger paychecks I'll get when I have fewer interuptions!
Not ALL MTs have fat rear ends or sm
never get out into the real world. I came from a hospital and I KNOW what EMR is all about and how savvy the docs are with computers. Your comment was offensive.
Auto accident - rear -end
we don't think we should give a "recorded" statement to the other car's insurance company. Advice.

My kids have had it before and what a tedious job it is to get rid of and make sure it stays away. Daily vacuuming of furniture, beds, etc. I took any and all stuffed animals and just stuck them in garbage bags for a month (they say 2 weeks, but I like to be safe). I looked for nits every day (brings new term to nit picking). I also used vinegar with the combing as it seemed to loosen up any remaining nits.
The dirty hair theory appears to be true, so I started using hair gel on my kids' heads, but we also have moved in the meantime, and they haven't had it since. The school district where we were seemed to have a huge outbreak at least twice a year.
Ignore QA long enough and you may find yourself out on your rear.

A Time to Kill proabably--- have lots more of course that rank up there, many are old movies as my mom got me into them.
I agree with GATrans below. Don't trust him. He may be covering his own rear end. Either he
gives you the number and lets you do with it what you will or he loses your trust. It could be that he is making this whole story up to cover up the fact that this woman may call again on his cell phone. Men are snakes at times. Don't be a fool. My ex-husband was calling his girlfriend on our cell phone and telling me that it was the number of a woman who had a van for sale. He was in the used car business so it was a plausible explanation. Too bad for him that I have a suspicious nature, wrote the number down and kept it for posterity. A few weeks later my husband's friend (who's wife was a friend of the girlfriend) called from this number and it showed on my caller id. Too much of a conincidence for me. Maybe your husband is honest Abe and you trust him completely, but there is no such thing as perfect, and most women whose husbands have had affairs, never saw it coming. You can call me a cynic, but I'll never be a fool again and I hate to see other women be fooled.
And don't listen to the Pollyannas below you telling you that you are overreacting and that you should calm down. Utter nonsense. You have every right to be angry. You have every right to want that person's phone number and to call her telling her to never call again. And, if I were you, I'd be calling this friend of your husband's and letting him know what you think of him and threaten to tell his wife. The friend has no respect of his wife or marriage and so you can bet he has no respect for you or yours. Who cares if your husband loses him as a friend. He doesn't really need friends like that anyway!
Marriage is hard and you have to fight to keep it going. So fight.
I just noticed my right thumb twitching. I tell ya I'm falling apart! Last week my rear end and
left leg were going numb and now my thumb is twitching. Ya know how you have your thumb poised above the space bar, well whenever I pause my typing my thumb twitches slightly and softly taps the space bar. I keep rubbing my hand hoping it will stop. Anybody else have this problem?
Maybe I'm getting to old to be an MT anymore. Been doing this for almost 14 years and never so much as had a headache. Now within the last year, I have head, neck and shoulder problems with muscle spasms and tightness, my rear end problems, and now this! Frustrating to say the least! 
Mine are in year-round thank goodness! They've started their new year 2 months ago.

After I went to a 1-year MT course at a vocational school, it was so bad that I did the 2-year colle
Not only did I finally receive the proper training, but the woman on the advisory board hired and mentored me. I also joined the local AAMT and networked. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. A community college will have a good program to include medical language, MT courses taught by local MTSOs, business English, anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, etc.
I think he makes $700,000.00 a year, and if they ask him to walk before his first year MQ has...sm
to pay him a cool 1 million dollars. You can check this out at the Medquist website. I think the CFO makes $350,000 a year, and the head of IT makes $250.000 a year.
P.S. This does not include the perks, like expense account, car allowance, sign-on bonus, etc.
Our 16 year old son has been working for a year now to pay for his truck.
He's learning how to sand and do body work and how the engine and transmission go together. My parents didn't buy cars for my siblings and I either. I had a 20+ year old beater car until I could afford to move up to a a newer one.
I see all the nice new cars parked in the high school parking lot every day. It's nice that so many disrespectful punk kids get handed something nicer to drive than what all the teachers drive. Oh, well. Honestly, I think most of them borrow Mommy or Daddy's car or are the child of a doctor who can afford to hand them everything.
Hopefully, my kids will take better care of their cars because they bought and built them on their own. You're not going to grow up to be responsible if you don't work hard for something and expect Mommy and Daddy to bail you out all the time.
Oh, my Dad lectured us on even allowing our child to have a vehicle because Dad didn't have one until after he had worked his way through college, lettered on the football team, got straight As, lettered on the baseball team, yadda yadda. He either walked or hitched a ride. Yeah, well, times were different back then, Daddy-O. LOL At least my kid has the opportunity to work and earn his own car.
IC - 30 hours week, $98K last year. So far this year - 28K. sm
Individual IC - own account(s).
Not me, owed last year, and expect to owe this year- sm
or break even, had more expenses this year. Only owed $200 but still don't want to owe at all. Need to start doing estimated tax payments again so I don't owe! Guess I will get off my butt and do that this year.
come on.. you cannot compare a 2-year-old and a 15-year-old

Got $$$$ back last year but this year
I have to pay them, sold a property I never lived in but I had enough sense to set aside $45,000 so just waiting on them to send me my WT2s so I can get started.
Ask me next year. sm
I quit as an IC telecommunting for a hospital where I was making $35,000 a year, and started for a national as an employee in April. So far, only made $4600 with them. Big OUCH! But just getting the hang of expanders and the 4 accounts I have.
Can't wait to see my end of year :(

Used to be about $35,000, now is about $30,000
Can RAM die? I put in more RAM last year so I should have 768 -- but it says 256 now- sm
anyone have any ideas? I am positive after I put in the new card back in early 02/2005 it read 756. So if anyone had any insight or suggestions I'd appreciate it.....might explain why my computer has been a bit slow lately...we have also had a lot of power surges/outages lately, but I do have battery back up now (after it wiped my work out 2 x), maybe it got fried from that? TIA.
About a year now. Don't like it. NM

3 year old
I am very glad you have a happy ending. A friend of mine, who is an MT, had the same thing happen to her with a tragic ending. Her son had drowned in a pond on their property. He was also 3 years old. They just don't realize the danger.
Make sure he removes his make up before he goes to sleep, LOL.
Big S does. For one year.
I am actually thinking of dictating the information into a microcassette and then hiring a typist to type it out for me.

I believe I put it in Autocorrect as -yo and then expended to -year-old and it finally worked.
I kept a log my first year but never again. NM

-year-old
When you save -year-old in your autotext check the formatted text box NOT the plain text. This should work.
I did it one year...sm
I lived in PA and was losing about $300 a week because of being out of work. It wasn't really worth it because they only gave me $20 a week to make up for it. I did it over the internet, so paperwork wasn't a factor, but keeping up with the check-in dates got to be a pain for so little money. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there is much help for us during the slow time. Unemployement isn't just for the totally unemployed. If you are losing work due to things beyond your control, that still counts. Hope this helps!
Well, I did get a cat the next year...
so Dorothy was treated to those three cans of cat food! However, she didn't like 'em.
Maybe next year
she can blind carbon copy everyone and nobody will be the wiser.
Anyone else with an 18-year-old
My son is pulling the "greater than thou" attitude. I don't know if this is his way of getting me to kick him out of the house or what. He is to start college next year and we had told him he could stay here to save on rent, but I don't think it is going to work out. Also, what obligation do we, as parents, have as far as assisting in college payment?

My ten year old said to me the other day, sm
Mom, you look like a Saint. I said, "a Saint"? He said, "ya a Saint Bernard"
So much for the new year being better than the last.
Life could be a lot worse, right? I know, but I still have no work even at a different job. I still have no money. My bills are still behind because my jobs have just snowballed in the past three months. Home life is the same old, same old. Can't get the kids to pitch in without complaining. Still can't get them up in the morning despite moving their bedtimes back. Can't get the husband to cut back on the budget. His job has been really slow since Thanksgiving, too. Christmas was the same old thing. I wound up returning my Christmas presents again this year. Nobody gives refunds even with gift receipts so I get to use the gift cards to buy groceries. I don't know why I thought the new year would be any different. It's so darn depressing. What's the point of trying so hard when nothing ever changes?
What year?

$700-$800 F/T, although 3-year-old
is constant interruption. Not her fault, of course. She is going to the sitter's starting next week. I have seen how much of a difference it makes when she is not around.
It's a man's year this year!
They are unstoppable. It's too early to call for me, but my best friend thinks it's going to be Elliott. He is good. Beautiful voice.
I was going to do this last year
but figuared my then 3 year old would just splash my laptop. It would be nice to have one but I don't think I would get much work done with my son. He is an only child and wants to be played with a lot of the time
One 3-year-old and trying for my second!!
I have only been doing this for a year..
and I am fully aware of all of the above, except the (GERD). Like the others said though, that is just probably how the account wants it done. My account wants the 2 spaces after each period though, so that is how I do it.
I personally would not worry about what other people are doing. If they are not doing their jobs right, that will be their problem. By correcting the above though, you only benefit yourself.
I would suggest entering some of those in your expander. I have bid put in to expand out to b.i.d. The same goes for q4h, expands out to q.4 h. Once you enter all those in, you won't have to worry about doing it wrong anymore. It will correct them for you. It doesn't get any easier than that. Good luck!
Why don't you come on over and see for yourself. I have a 2 and 4 year old
boys who are the most well-behaved children you've probably ever met. Yes ma'am, no sir, etc.
This one will really get your panties all in a bunch! I actually started pre-k at home with my 4 year old AND transcribing. How's that one for a kicker?
I plan on homeschooling both of my children.
They are very well adjusted. I worked a split shift and do most of my typing at night when they go to bed.
By the way, I used to be in daycare. That was my first career. I wouldn't be so quick to think that those kids are getting any more attention than they are at home. Trust me, most centers have a ratio of 10:1 and even more! I can promise you this: It's natural for a child to be with their mothers and not strangers from infancy all the way through adolescence. They WANT to be home with their mommy's and in some cases daddy's too, even if their mom's are working while they are home. It's a great sense of security that our precious children have knowing that their parents are not going to leave them all day with some stranger. How do I know this? Because I worked at a center before becoming an MT. Those kids would cry, some infants would cry all day long. Doesn't that tear at your heartstrings?
Please don't feel sorry for the children who are home with their moms or dads while they work from home regardless of what they do. I have met more well-adjusted children whose parents work from home than from working parents who choose to work out of the home, which I don't condemn. I just preferred to be the primary caretaker in my children's lives.
She is a four year old. That's all.
Her *lack of concentration* is most likely associated with family upheaval than ADHD or anything else. Weak hands? What does that mean exactly?
Take a hug and then give one to your daughter - she is going to be fine. I guess if she needs to be in preschool (which is another subject altogether - I'm a keep them at home until school actually starts kind of person) find a teacher with a little more time to spend on the child's individuality instead of one who tries to cram all the square pegs into round holes.
No. I have SBC DSL. This is my 2nd year to
that is all I pay, period.
Last year PT, this year FT
Last year, I worked on average 5 hours a day, brought in about $60K. This year, I am trying to work more FT hoping for $85k (I am VERY fortunate, I have wonderful accounts)
not this year but...
A past MTSO that i worked for sent a very thoughtful gift, homemade, not expensive, but one of the most thoughtful and useful i have received. She made a full sheet of address labels with my address on them but with a logo of a computer typing on itself. Very cute and appreciated.
44K last year
That is absolutely wonderful. With or without bonuses, you are obviously an excellent MT.
Ever think about applying somewhere else to make the same 44K w/o working so many hours. As we all work hard, I'm sure you would not have a problem at all finding an employer out there who would be willing to pay you for that hard work in 40 hours per week instead of 60-70. I feel for you. Been there, done that as an MT/QA.
no, that would be in the year......NM
