Rosa Parks was also a God fearing Christian woman!

thats kinda hard on your bladder
you could eat something salty (? popcorn), try spring water, iced water, a squeeze of lemon or a bit of vinegar in it... its what your body NEEDS!! :)
What a terrible thing to call a hard-working MT.
Disgusting name to call someone who has worked very hard, probably gone to college to learn this, invested a lot of time and money, perhaps worked in a hospital, certainly worked very hard, to be called a slob!
ER died when Mark Green died. The 'new'
the same oomph as the originals. Not as exciting as it used to be. I had watched since the very first episode and loved every episode until then. Now it's BORING!
VDI call-in system sounds much better than digital recorders and easier tracking with redundant hard
You can hear a pin drop on this system. The sound is that clear. The system has a redundant hard drive and auditing capabilities. It has the capability to do everything but transcribe it. The better the sound file, the faster you can transcribe. I purchased a call-in system that used digital recorders, and the sound was so bad that I ordered this one the same day. I wasted $1200 on that system. Get the analog that uses a VDI SuperStation or C-phone (the C-phone is more clear). Even though the technology is not as new as the digital recorders, in this case it is better. Good luck!
Her point was Rosa DIDNT do as in Rome

Obviously in whatever was said about trailer parks,
nobody was referring to you and you seem to have taken it too personally. No flames here. Just understand, trailer parks got their bad name long before you came along. Yes, there are some nice ones out there, but the majority that get into the spotlight get there because of bad things. So, don't take it personally unless it applies to you and hopefully now that you've had your rant you feel better.
Trailer parks
My neighborhood will allow it, but they have a lot of obstacles -- fortunately. I don't even thing trailer park developers or landlords care about the folks they sell to. Trailers DEPRECIATE in value, unlike standard housing. Banks won't even lend money to finance or mortgage them. You have to finance them through other means, usually with high interest rates. Not a smart investment.
Trailer Parks
Where the heck have yu been? I know may peple with great educations.. problem is the job market is pathetic. You sound like a person from SNOBSVILLE.. you ought to me up with my ex. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about living a mobile park. and for your information lady, you bettr have good credit and a good recommendation or else the will not take you in some of the trailer parks. You are a snob and an arrogant woman. Where you from NEW YORK? Have you ever lived in a a mobile home park. Most low income could NOT afford it, after all when you have to pay 500 bucks a month for lot rent. you are so full of it....I live in a mobile home court and Love it. it's clean, with security, and there are no old mobile homes in this court. Get off your high horse...GEEZ.. THEY DO REQUIRE CREDIT CHECKS MS SMARTY PANTS.
college kids in trailer parks? where?
that's a new one. i never saw a trailer park on campus or even near a campus.
The disney tickets cover 4 parks so you are not set in where you go- sm
They cover Disney, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MGM-Studios. With a park hopper pass you can bounce between all 4 Disney parks in 1 day and it only counts as 1 day/ticket. Without the hopper option you can only go to 1 park that day, of course these are a little cheaper. Check out the Disney web site, it will explain all the ticket options so you know what to ask for when you do get your tickets. Universal is separate, is 2 parks in one basically, one side is more kid oriented than the other. Sea World is separate too, they have a few rides there now too.
You also can't enjoy the water parks in December. nm

Central FL, yes, and the theme parks are all offering jobs. nm

trailer parks have long been the but of jokes about the people who live in them.
You know that. If you choose to live in a trailer park that is certainly your right but sorry the stigma is there and I nor the OP created it. There was a running joke about Paula Jones (Clinton's "friend") being trailer park trash. Why? I don't know as I do not live in trailer park nor do I want to because I don't want the stigma. I was looking at property in North Carolina and there was no zoning regulation so the property was across the street from a trailer park which brought property values down. I am not making this up nor do I create it. It is what it is. Oh, BTW, there is a new show coming on MTV, a parody I think of the home improvement shows, where a gay biker type grit, tries to rehab trailer homes. Hilarious. Again, I didn't make it up nor stigmatize trailer parks. Someone took a concept of their idea of people and their trailer homes and ran with it. There is also the same idea in Blue Collar TV with Jeff Foxworthy on Comedy Channel.
Bottom line, there is a stigma to living in a trailer park and you have to learn to live with that. I personally can't live with the stigma and do not entertain the thought of moving to a trailer park. I think it would be hard on my kids to have that trailer park stigma on them as they enter school.
trailer parks and low level housing is where criminals generally go.
not too many criminals have good jobs to afford a nice house. i know of child molester filled neighborhood because there are no restrictions, no HOA and the houses are low income homes. no this doesn't only happen in trailer parks but crime statistically happens more often in worse neighborhoods and more ex-criminals statistically live in lower level neighborhoods.
okay neatly correlated lies. and the trailer parks are really neat little hideaways the statistics
no excuse for not researching with google or even yahoo. my neighborhood is zoned to not allow trailer parks (ever wonder why???) thus my property if more valuable than another community that is not zoned against trailer parks. Now did you ever consider why communities would even think of having a zoning commission that would ban trailer parks. Community standards might come in to play and they don't want property values diminished. GOOGLE friend. The truth will set you free.
If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal. The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected. Many companies will not allow satellite.
So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm

got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
Kinda but not kinda
My son is heading to Japan to study for a few months. He's NOT a partier and detests anything related to that, but still I will worry.
this is kinda fun.....sm

I guess some people like to be left alone - I would rather a little more guidance when I start - until I more sure of things. I was trained by a QA person who was supposed to be QA and mentor - now someone else's name comes on my corrected reports. The QA person is not even available on 2nd shift when I work - if I have questions I have to email and get answers the next day. Don't want to seem needy but sometimes you need an answer NOW
Who died?
and left you boss? 
I used to have one of those (died on me too).
If you really like the mechanical keyswitch feel (which I sure do) and don't need a split/ergo keyboard, then you might want to think about trying one of the old Model M IBM keyboards ... very similar in feel (actually, better, IMO) to the NMB. I, unfortunately, have to use a totally split keyboard now, otherwise I'd be using a Model M myself.
You can sometimes find vintage ones cheap in local little computer stores too (I got one for $5 once that way).

Kinda on the subject, but not....
My son planned a trip to New Orleans for the 4th of July. We tried and tried to find a room through travelocity.com, hotels.com, expedia.com, etc. without success. I'm not sure exactly what the site was, but I finally found a hotel room (I think I searched New Orleans.com or something similar) at the Cotton Exchange Hotel which seemed to be a very good hotel by all sites description. It was booked on all these other sites. So I grabbed the room for the guys. However, when they got to New Orleans and showed their confirmation, the hotel sent them next door to the Holiday Inn. What was up with that? Of course, they didn't care one way or the other, but I just wondered why the hotel did that. Thought maybe they were affiliated, but by the description of the hotels, I would rather have stayed in the Cotton Exchange and would have been somewhat disappointed had the reservation been for me. Just curious
Kinda sorta...
I have received my certificate from completing my transcription course and have been in the medical field for 5 years. From hospital to doctors office to home health care agencies. This should help me quite a bit. I'm confident know that I have gotten this response from you. Thank you very much! I am very excited.
Seems kinda strange,
if it is just for 911 purposes, it could be so that emergency personnel could have several contact numbers in case of an emergency. However, I've moved 6 times in the past 8 years, and I've never had to give that info out for any of my utilities.
Forgive me, but isn't that kinda mean?
Besides, my friend has the "collar" for her yorkie and the dang thing yaps right over it. The way I did it with my dog when he was a pup didn't make him "afraid" of barking (knowing he'd get zapped). He just learned that we did not like it when he barked. He also doesn't jump up on people unless I give him the okay and he does NOT lick people. EEEEW.
I didn't rely on gadgets with my dog. I trained him with patience and rewards. Works every time and makes a heck of a better dog.
If you're going to zap a dog when he barks, why not just kick him? The "correction devices" are only made for people that don't want to bother to spend the time.
LOL!!!!!! Kinda pathetic that I have nothing better

Just kinda curious
what does attract a man to this field?? I suppose it really is no less "manly" than being an accountant or computer programer or whatever, but its not exactly high paying if the best MTs are getting say 50K. Not that that's bad I'd be ecstatic if I made that much. But for on average being a low paying and traditionally a "women's" if (I can say such a sexist thing)job why did you decide to become a transcriptionist?
Besides what's wrong with being gay- in my next life I want to come back as a gay man, their having all the fun anyway
Doc said CO2 88.4 - isn't that kinda high?
NM
No, I don't have that kinda time, but . . . .
most of the time when a guy has a sexy voice he has a face for radio, if you know what I mean!
For example,
Steve Perry from Journey
Elton John
Boy George
Once I was "fixed up" with a guy who called me to talk (I'd not seen him yet) and his voice sounded like a total dweeb. I wasn't sure if I wanted to meet him but did reluctantly anyway. When I did he was the most gorgeous creature I'd ever seen so boy was I glad I didn't base my opinion on the high-pitched voice that sounded like a 13-year-old that was my first impression of him! LOL
I'm kinda sorta doing that now.
I work for a national but do acute care stuff, which means I have to be glued to my desk in case I get an "instant message" telling me to type up a stat report. I have the kind of personality where I NEED a schedule, otherwise I'll just frig around and wind up typing up a days work at the last minute. I tried it before and it didn't work out so well for me.
I'm not forced to punch in and out for breaks though. I do take short breaks here and there to rest and get up and walk, but then I'm right back here at the keys. Some days I even eat while typing, but that's the nature of the beast where I am. Yeah, sometimes it wears thin like on days when everything aches and no matter how fast I type, there's always a stack of stuff waiting that needed to be done yesterday. It also sucks when I get asked to type up stuff because some other typist has gone "MIA." I just get bent because I figure I have to be here during my schedule, why can't they?
Oh well, at least there's an overflowing amount of work, unlike some other companies I read where the people are sitting twiddling their thumbs waiting for stuff to come in.
Actually they DO kinda' look like hearses!
One passed me in the fast lane on the freeway yesterday -- big, long, and black -- headed up to the city. Was wondering where on earth they thought they were gonna park it.............
Kinda slow
I bought the preferred version because I switched computers and my new laptop came with Word 2003 which SmartType does NOT work with. I was able to teach it the medical words for the most part. Some stuff was tricky like x3 and I could not get that to work. Unfortunately it seemed awfully slow to me and you have to get a really get microphone. FOr me though a lot of my work is VR except for new doctors so I just don't bother with it. But if you're typing all day it might be useful after you spend the time training it. I spent about 100 on it so it's MUCH less expensive than the medical version.
Kinda agree
I kind of agree with the above poster. There is so much negativity on this board. People who are thinking about becoming an MT or ones who are just starting out and even ones who are seasoned and are just having a bad day come to this board for encouragement and advice. All anyone (not all) can do is make you feel even worse and feel like there is no hope in this field and you have a sucky job! I feel very lucky to be able to work from home. Compared to when I used to have to get up in the morning, get dressed up, pack lunch or have money to buy lunch, drive almost an hour to work, be miserable all day long and stare the clock down, drive all the way back home, and then before I know it, it's time to do it all over again. Now I am 30 seconds from my office, do not have to buy expensive clothes or get dressed up, do not have to spend tons of money on gas, do not have to worry about packing or buying a lunch. I think we are very lucky compared to a lot of people. I just really wish some people on here would be more optimistic and not make people who are coming here for advice feel like @!*# for having chosen this as a career. One day I was having a really bad day and just thought I was a total failure and I came here and asked for encouragement and afterwards with all the negativity I felt like blowing my brains out. Not literally but you get my point. Glad I got over it and decided not to listen to those people and decided to go with my own instincts.
Kinda? What's that? Indian?...nm
nm
Well, it kinda depends...sm
I work in-house in Washington State and I'm sure I don't make as much as someone working in-house in California, but my fingers and wrists are saved by working in-house. I do have a minimum minute count to get, but I can pace myself throughout the day and it is very easily achievable. If I were working at home I would be pushing myself to the absolute maximum by trying to get as many lines as I can in a day (did that for several years...hated it). However, there is only so much you can make in a day getting paid by the hour instead of the line. If you make a decent rate per line and you have a high line count per day I'm sure you could make more than someone working in-house who only gets so much per hour for an 8-hour day no matter how much they type. So, it kinda goes both ways.
He died because of his fame. Not enough for you? SM
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They do different things that make them heroes to different people. What you really meant to say was that John Lennon was not a hero to you, right?
died today at age 83...........nm
x
he died almost a year ago (sm)
He had hypertension, diabetes, and had had a stroke in 2003. He was only 54.
No, it's not bad. I cried more when my cat died than when
t
I agree. Kinda fishy isn't it?
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks for this post, SB. I have to say these comments kinda
I'm definitely not a redneck, but I do know some country people whom some of you board MTs here might call rednecks, who are absolutely the best of the best - pure hearts of gold.
If you would ever do research of the term "redneck," you would find that it really does not mean drunks and carousers but, rather, refers to hardworking, salt-of-the-earth, farming people who LITERALLY got red necks from working the land, out in the sun all day, to make a living and provide for their families. Yes, it has come to have a more negative connotation, but if you think that all Southern, hardworking country people are rednecks, then you are dead wrong, and I'd love to show you around here sometime. You'd probably love our Southern hospitality if you'd give it a chance.
Well, its kinda funny - but not overwhelmingly so...
Found it on another site and thot it warranted a look see! LOL. But U are right - not grade A humor - more like C...
Kinda along the same lines as muff (sm)
Would you believe I have an 18-year-old college daughter who does the same thing!!!???
Needless to say, we are very close and I've been a home MT for most of her school-aged years.
Actually, she doesn't do it as much now...
My solution was I switched to the red-eye. I work 11-7 (or loosely similar). I started doing this when she was in the 10th grade. I worked all night, finished, woke her up, took her took her to school and slept until time to pick her up.
Then we had the evenings together. It made a huge difference. She was always very tolerant because I'd work every little chance I'd get to add up to 8 hours or more. With all the interruptions of daily life, it seemed like I worked every waking hour.
It's not easy working nights at first, but eventually your body clock gets the hang of it. Weekends can be challenging, but if you take a nap sometime Sunday, you can get back in the *groove.*
Best of luck to you. I know it's hard. I'm a single parent and my daughter has been my life. She still plans *our* time, mother/daughter time.
Do what you have to. They are only young once. :-)
legs get kinda numb ???
Does anyone else experience this? After sitting at my 'puter and transcribing, my legs feel like they are asleep. Not really pain but numb. It does not necessarily happen after long periods of typing. It can be after just an hour or two? What causes this and what can I do about it? Or is it even related to sitting in a chair all day?
Mine's kinda funny . . .
I ALWAYS seem to type SHITORY instead of history, I kid you not! LOL
My kinda cook! I can sure relate! nm
