This is the oddest post I have ever seen in my life. Lady I think you need to see the doctor, and not a medical one. I always think with each ridiculous thing I hear, it can't get any worse and sure enough, it does. Cannot turn a steering wheel because of a cancerous breast. Having to do on a 17 year old minor? I do not think any of this is true. Too early for April's Fool Day though.

speaking of breasts and surgeries....
is anyone willing to fess up to a breast "augmentation". I never thought I would ever, EVER consider something like this, but after having my babies, breastfeeding, etc... have thought about now and again.

Grilled chicken breasts and garlic mashed potatoes
x
I have boneless chicken breasts marinating. Any good recipes? Too hot to grill outside.
Thanks.
Forget dinner! Just prepared a huge lunch. Skillet chicken: Skinless boneness breasts cooked in skil
golden brown, add can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies, 1/2 c water - cover and cook about 15 minutes.
Then I made homemade mashed potatoes - extra thick - with plenty of pepper :0
Then, boiled my water for my sweet tea....with lemon.
After the chicken is done, pour a cup and a half or so of mozerella cheese on top and let it sit for about a minute or so.
The mixture from the potatoes is a creamy blend with mixed veggies poured over either rice or potatoes. I just make stuff up all the time like this. You could even add crackers to the mixture to give it a crunchy feel. My 2 boys were in heaven today. Of course, I may have to work the night shift when my lunch is finished - when I eat like this during the afternoon I usually skip dinner altogether because of the carb content.
Remember with this dish: You can do it low fat by substituting above ingredients. Also remember to have plenty of color to your diet! Voila!
A jump drive is the same as a USB drive. SM
It's basically a small device you plug into a USB port on your PC and you can store files on it (like the floppy disks of the old days but with WAAAAAAY more space!). You can pick them up at Wal-Mart now for pretty cheap. I have a 2 gig and I can back up my entire hard drive on my PC (programs and all) if I needed to.
How far is the new job to drive - sm
You need to consider many things.
Consider the expenses of driving further and parking fees if there are any. How much time out of your day is driving back and forth, etc.
Teaching hospital - means more ESL than a community hospital. Do you want your day filled with difficult dictators?
Personally, when I was in my 20's - I'd make the change no matter what. Now, that I am 38 and have 2 teens at home, etc. it is way more beneficial to me to make more money at home.
Go with your "gut" feeling! That usually never steers you wrong.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
I was thinking this the other day, I don't drive much
and short distances at that, but its comparable to that movie minority report where tom cruise is driving in one of those computerized cars and people are whipping by him and you just see the blur. I feel like that. Also people are so ornery, I go the speed limit or sometimes five over, I get passed and given a dirty look or yelled at and even a finger here and there. I feel like I need to pull over and take a deep breath or something, its a jungle out there. We're lucky we don't have to deal with traffic everyday, I would be grumpy as well.
just drive it into a lake
yes - it will probably drive you crazy until you get

zip drive discs
Hi: I know absolutely nothing about zip drives, but if you go to www.worldstart.com and go to their message board and ask this question, a techie person will answer you, usually very quickly. They have helped me a lot on problems with my computer. Good luck.
I have about a 20 mile drive
There are a couple grocery stores in that vicinity. I won't shop at Target, either, as they will not support the military and will not allow the Salvation Army outside their stores at Christmas. They are a big supporter of gay and lesbian causes as well. So far, I guess it is K-Mart for other things. Around here, Wal-Mart is trying to build a super center practically on every street corner, trying to run everybody else out of business. Really sad-- Sam Walton is probably spinning in his grave.
You pay $26,800 to drive a new car for 5 years! You can buy
 a used 2004 buick lesabre for less than that AND drive it for another five years for free... (see link below) then pocket the extra 26K you spent to drive a "new" car for those five years. You can put 200,000 miles on those cars. They are extremely reliable. Even repairs couldn't possibly cost you over $6000 - and that's what you're paying in ONE YEAR to drive your "brand new" leased vehicle. I guess if you want to throw away $6000 a year so everyone else can see your brand new car, be my guest. Me - I'd rather travel or spend it on my education or sock it away in my IRA rather than look good :) Would be interesting to hear how much debt those who lease carry.... don't say this to boast - not at all -but to give weight to what I say about living below your means. We live in a very nice, (average for our area ) custom house, 10 years old, on a 5 acre lot. We each have a vehicle to drive with no rust that don't require repair. We have 0 debt on credit cards, 0 debt in car loans, 0 debt on mortgage (paid it off in 7 years when my MTs was doing quite well)....ask anyone who leases what their asset sheet looks like...and then decide who you would rather be like. Those who lease tend to be Big Hat, No Cattle.
Drive in Movies sm
I remember as a kid going to the drive-in movies with my mom hiding us in the backseat so as not to have to pay for all of us.
As a kid I remember the amusement truck coming around and we could take a ride on the "whip" for $0.25.
I remember when it was legal to open the fire hydrant and get wet during hot summer days. (Yes, I lived in a "city").
I remember "Happy Days" was the hit show when I was a teen and the boys tried to look and be like the "Fonze".
I also remember as a teen, a bag of Doritos was $0.25.
Can you guess my age?
(Hint - between 37 and 39) LOL.
Anybody drive a convertible?
I must be going through some weird change in my life or something, but for the last 6 months or so, I've just been obsessed with buying a convertible. I have just about talked my husband into going and shopping for one this weekend.
Do any of you fellow MTs have a convertible and if so, do you like it or do you not? I would be interested in hearing pros and cons of convertibles. Thank you in advance!
Not really sure, that file should be in your C drive - sm
just check and mine comes up fine. Double click on the C drive, have all the files come up that way....also make sure that the box just right of the C drive selection has an * in it, this should get you all files and folders shown. It's a pretty simple program so once you figure this out you should be fine. Have fun.
When you click on the C: drive,
'Documents and Settings'? That is the folder that I would double click on in the C: drive folder, and then 'Owner'. My 'My Documents' folder is inside the 'Owner' folder.
Does it drive anyone else crazy when..
You are listening to a dictation and can hear another doctor in the background dictating quite loudly, and then go to start that same docs dictation, and can barely hear him?? 
I think you'd drive me to drink, too,
if I lived with you!! Amen!  Nasty, much?
60-mile drive
I used to drive 50 miles one way for my transcription job. It took me four years before I got to go home, and then I still had to drive back and forth to pick up the tapes, until they got me on the system last March - so now I totally work from home. So nice, but you are the only one that can determine whether it is worth it for you. I need/want the bennies and was willing to do it. With a sickly husband at home, it is so nice now to be at home working. Don't know if I would go back to working outside again.
Just copy the cd to your C drive
You cd software should have a copy mode. I copied mine from my CD to my C: drive. I put an icon for it down in my quick launch and it works great. I have icons for my Stedman's electronic dictionaries on the quick launch as well. Hope this helps.
where is the hard drive sm
I never unscrewed the tower case. Where will I find the "hard drive?" I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I really don't know squat about the guts of the hardware.
Hard drive out, now what?
So now you have the hard drive out, what do you do with the hard drive? TIA
You need a jump drive, not PCA.
Put the files you need on a SECURE jump drive (flash drive, thumb drive, whatever you call it). You need FTP software, such as CuteFTP or Filezilla, to access the FTP site and transfer files.
Flash drive to
copy Word to the other computer. Don't know about the other question!
flash drive
get one, they are worth it. i just got one at target for 14.99. i have seen them as low as 9.99. i type at home for a cardiology practice. i upload all my work onto the flash drive, bring it into their office, download it to their computer. when the doc makes changes on his dictation, they just bring my work up on their computer and do their thing. saves them from calling me, me making the changes, printing it, getting in the car and bringing it to them. it is wonderful. try to get one with a key ring on it, cuz they are just so small, you can lose them easily. once they go under the seat of the car, you never see them again. lol
As soon as I drive into my garage
before I ever get out of my vehicle, I am lowering the garage door. In my community houses have been broken into just the way you have stated, by leaving the door open. It matters not where you live but safety should be upmost in your mind. I never open the doors to anyone. My workroom is situated to where I could see anyone entering my property and my front door has glass to where I can see and talk through to people and not only that solicitation is not allowed in my neighborhood. I had a person to come to my door 1 day and asked them if they read the signs saying no solicitation. Guess not. You should be more careful as a mother and you should also teach your children not to just open the doors, no matter who they might think it is.
Do yo mean a jump drive?sm
Those little keychain thingies? yeah, you can use one of those. They are wonderful. I use mine all the time.
What car does this Dr drive, vacations does he

Flash drive
I have a couple flash drives and drop one off with the completed work and pick up an empty one when I pick up work. Get a flash drive and copy the files on it and give that to them too...good luck!
Just run a scan of the C drive with the AVG - sm
it will scan everything and let you know if it finds anything. It automatically quantines them I believe so you should have any any problams in any case.
We lived on Riverfront Drive but
Silly huh?
do you think there will be some type of donation drive?
the post office usually sets up spots for donations, or lets you leave items for them to pick up. my heart was so moved when they did this in our area for the tsunami victims, and driving around seeing all the bags of donated goods made me almost cry.
something I noticed was that mostly the lower to middle class (still exist?) left items. their neighborhoods were full of bags of goods at their mailboxes for the tsunami victims.
Had a drive-by shooting right in front of my
home office window in July. Unfortunately, a baby got shot in the head. I thought it was someone setting off cherry bombs or something - the pops were too close together I thought for gunfire. It was 2 girls and a stroller and they didn't even realize the baby had been shot at first. It was a big howdy-do. The cops were out here for hours, blocking off the streets so they could look for shell casings. A couple of news trucks too, although the subsequent TV news reports were somewhat inaccurate regarding the location and details. Never found out what happened to the baby.
Anyway, right after this happened, the guy and teenager kid across the street stayed away from their house for about 2 weeks after, coming by periodically to check on the mail. The cops would occasionally call on the house during that time. I never did find out what the deal was and if there was connection between these people and the shooting, but I always worry about a gang thing or a home invasion thing and they get the wrong house (mine).
I think their intent all along was to drive MT companies and MTs
for VOICE RECOGNITION machines they had in the works all along.
Am I getting paranoid. Just a little.
Stand back and look at the big picture though.
No--I drive 12 miles 2 x a day (roundtrip) just to get them at the bus-sm
I only trust 2 neighbors (ages 40+) to help me when I need it, and that has only been 4 x in the last 3 years. When I was growing up most us were a bit nuts with driving, granted this kid may be quite responsible but why take the chance, you are only talking $3 a day in gas with a 15-mile round trip (7.5 one way), work an extra hour a week if the cost of gas is bothering you.
Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle and cannot drive (sm)
so that is why I was going to take the Amtrak!
The SOBs won't pick me up. How's that for family. 
I'm rather enjoying it. I love not having to drive
the kids back and forth to school and activities. I don't have to make lunches or get anybody up. I have two extra hours per day now. They're actually getting along pretty well. I haven't had any extra kids over the entire break because one of our kids had the flu for five days. The other kids are loading up my car with stuff to drop off at the thrift store. We've got almost the entire house cleaned up and decluttered for the new year. We've been watching a lot of movies together and doing puzzles.
We still have a Drive In movie theater. sm
It's located in a small town called Skowhegan and it's open during the summer.
No more speakers in the window. The sound comes through your radio. Make sure your car battery is good. No need to hide in the back as they charge by the car, regardless of how many people are in it.
Deco Drive on Fox news just said....sm
Not to worry, Mandisa will be fine on her own - she's already getting offers as we type.....she has one powerful voice and charisma and a very entertaining way with most of what she sings. She is not a country singer, not familiar with that genre, and she didn't do a great job on the song, and America failed to vote for her, but she certainly can sing better than a lot of them still in the contest and Simon, himself, said 2-3 weeks ago that Mandisa is 1 of only 3 top singers in the group....
McDonald's drive thru outsourcing!!!! (sm)
Saw it on the news this morning, some place in California, I think it was Santa Monica. People drive up and order, the orders are taken by a call center hundreds of miles away and sent back to McDonald's via internet. They insist it will be more efficient because the call takers are not multi-tasking, just taking care of one order at a time. What next?
I know exactly what they're thinking! Drive MT
.
My mother does this and just drive me nuts! (sm)
Not that this is the only thing she does that will drive you to drink :)
I can't install mine...??? I have to keep the CD in the drive
and click on My Computer and then click on the CD drive and then click on BOS2 to open. Then I just keep it minimized. I also like it much better than the book because of the search feature!
I used to drive a 100+ mile roundtrip....SM
I did it for over two years to be able to work in the office of my mentor and get the experience I needed to be a good MT. Most days I didn't mind, but did try to avoid busy times on the freeway. A lot depends on traffic too and not just gas. I have always enjoyed the time alone in a car, which is something I rarely get.
Thirty miles isn't that far. Good luck!
Not able to drive for a company if illegal and
no license. The husband has job where he works for a company and there is no outsourcing on his job. You have to be a citizen, you have to have driver's license, you have to be insurable. It is not just a coming across the borders to get on with his job. Might be with others, ?? His salary has increased steadily over the 6 years he has been there. Was sorta talked into going into business as driver several years ago and I was totally against that, paid off big time for him. Excellent wages, excellent benefits for us, no complaints at all on this end.

I used a flash drive to move
all mine a few months ago when I got a new computer. They're only like $15 and worked perfectly.
She came a long way on her own talent and drive. SM
You have to give her credit for that.
She has also given away millions of dollars in the US and elsewhere. She stated she began her school in Africa, because (her words) young black kids in the US were not as grateful. However bad it is in the US, it is considerably worse in Africa.
Also, as wealthy as she is, she still maintains a vulnarability which makes her relatable to a lot of different people.
However, you are all entitled to your opinions.
USB flash drive inquiry....sm
Would someone enlighten me? My teenager came home with a printout for a school project and the teacher wants the projects turned in one one of these keychain things. I have no idea how to do this and if I need to buy anything extra for my PC. How does this work? Do you just plug it into your PC and are able to save data right onto it or are special programs needed? The more I searched on the internet the more I couldn't figure it out. I've already e-mailed the teacher asking that she be allowed to bring the project in on CD as we're pros at that one and I really don't want to spend a dime for some goofy teacher's request...but just in case..... Thank you
How can you find out where the flash drive is....sm
is there a way to know if my PC has this without buying one of the sticks and trying it? Thank you!
