Notebook and Legends of the Fall....nm

Going in the summer or the fall? If the fall, you need to be there early enough while the colors
s
This is how urban legends get started
someone gets part of a real story, doesn't bother to verify it, makes up the rest to make it sound really, really bad, then spreads it around.
Now some perpetrually outraged twinkie is going to start denouncing American culture from some pulpit somewhere.
Sheesh.
Man, I knew I shoulda checked Urban legends about this
Please check out Snopes.com for false statements/urban legends
before posting. This is an email that has been circulating for a while and it is not true. See the link for an explanation.
Are we related? I have a cousin just like this....sm
as long as she thinks the spotlight can be on her she's all for everything - but if she's not in the spotlight then she doesn't show up, etc. At least I got off the hook when she got married for the FOURTH time - she had a small wedding and invited my nephew (ring bearer), my sister/brother-in-law and my brother (photographer) but I didn't get an invite as she didn't have space.... so I never sent her even a card acknowledging her marriage.
And his cousin, Frank Spasm
:O
In talking with my cousin who is a doctor
he says that any doctor who does not speak so that you can understand him does NOT care and most likely does NOT even read his reports! So there you have it. As it has been said many times before, GARBAGE IN/ GARBAGE OUT! ESLs or no ESLs. Those who say you are not a Transcriptionist because you don't want to make a *sensible* document, (you finish this sentence)!!!
seems to me your cousin has already made it clear...
that she's not interested in family parties...so I would "believe" her prior pattern of behavior and ignore her shower.
If he let the tourists "buy their way out", my cousin and her friends, along with -
hundreds of other tourists would be safe and sound.
We have not heard from her or her friends since Friday, August 26, 2005.
You know absolutely nothing!
This same thing happened to my cousin's wife
and she also was 34. She was a school teacher at the time and had 3 little children. They treated her in the hospital for FIVE MONTHS. She was close to death for quite awhile but after multiple surgeries managed to finally survive. I do not think that they are suing. As someone stated, this is usually stated as a complication of gallbladder surgery.
Unfortunately, this hospital has a major problem with making those mistakes because my aunt also had her pancreas punctured when she went in just for a scope and also spent months in the hospital.
As hard as it is to accept though, these things do happen.
I am with the poster who said to pray for your cousin.
My cousin never had a problem with shellfish until later in life.
Then one night he ate some shrimp and his tongue swelled and his face swelled and he broke out in hives. It was horrible.
Now he can't even walk by a boiling lobster pot without having a reaction.
But nobody ever knew until he ate that shrimp and he had never had a problem with it before.
So you never know.
My own cousin, an op room RN with a Masters degree tried
and failed at MT. She asked me for advice before starting, but didn't take me seriously when I told her that there was more to it than she thought. But she tried and tested, and just couldn't get hired. Her mother, who is my mother's sister-in-law, was talking to my mom one day, and she said, "Geez, if your daughter can do it, surely mine can! She's a nurse!"
Well, hers couldn't.
Nice, Aunt, huh?
mean, sarcastic manager and QA cousin at meditec
The internship is fine, don't look to get rich though. Purely training. Good way to get your foot in the door. The reason why you may want to stay away is because of the manager and her cousin who is in editing. Mean, sarcastic people! That is how they treated me anyway.
I'll trade your friend for my cousin
He charges outlandish amounts to do our taxes. Last year it was over $550. The year before that was a little less 'cause we had a mortgage. We don't have that this year.
'Course he said he tried to squeeze every last penny of deductions he could out of our taxes. He even filed an amended return after talking to DH about taxes at our last reunion. Saved us a few more thousand dollars....but still hurt. I am an employee, gave up IC 4 years ago, but DH is still self-employed.
Totally! I opted out of going to a cousin's wife's 2nd shower
after only 3 years! Ridiculous. The baby was even the same sex. And SHE never got rid of anything. So, I heard later that she took just about everything back to the store for refunds/exchanges! Really something, huh?
Yeah, Daddy said Billy Bob's grandmother was his grandfather's third cousin's second wife.
Thank you. We are descended from the Hoots who lived in Killjoy, Alabama, right near June Bug. My mother was a Hoot.
Ugh.... Please don't fall for ....
this boloney! I firmly believe that WE are creating this explosion in cases of ADHD. The child is FOUR YEARS OLD and not developmentally ready for "school work." In my day we went to kindergarten as our first school experience. The emphasis was learning to be part of a group, socializing appropriately, listening to the teacher, retelling stories, and basically learning HOW to be a student. We didn't even start reading until 1st grade. I was reading at 2nd year college level in the 9th grade. I know that's not how it's done anymore, but it should. A child that age learns through play. A few kids pick up reading at 4 or 5, but it shouldn't be forced. Some kids don't blossom with reading until 2 grade, and it's perfectly okay. Studies show that children pushed early on academics compared to children who are not pushed are equal by about 3rd grade, showing that the early pushing does nothing long-term towards academic success. Reading TO your preschooler, providing stimulating play, and opportunities for socialization with other children is all they need. I would personally find a preschool that has that belief as opposed to pushing the academics. Your child was a newborn baby 4 years ago and now she's suppose to be doing worksheets and learning to read and do math? I don't think it's right.
It was 24 yrs this fall, though no all of that is MT nm

Fall is my favorite
Summer is too hot!! Fall is just right and football starts!
Another vote for fall

Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Now that fall is here and I'm having to use heat my
face is dry and itchy. I've started using a humidifier to add moisture in the air, but I need a lotion too. I have very sensitive skin too. I've used several OTC lotions and they haven't helped much. Looking for a good moisturizer for all over, but mostly for the face.
Yes, but only after I fractured it off in a fall. sm
Had a Colles fx of the radius, too. Now, if I rest my wrist the wrong way, I feel the ulnar styloid pain. You probably should get yours checked out to see if anything can be done to help. I truly feel your pain!
Fall Branch, TN, but...sm
Florida bound if we ever sell this farm!
Wow, hair fall???
I have some problems, but sure can't attribute hair fall to MT work?!!! Have that checked out, please!
My problems are: Aches and pains here and there, swollen ankles/feet (sometimes severe), and I do believe my eyesight has changed some in the past few years due to computer usage.
No fall out from me, I agree with you
People that are complaining are the ones from home, started out at home, after graduating from an online school that promised them the big bucks. Get real training (2-year degree), train at a hospital first, get your lines up, and then venture out on your own. I bet that is how the non-complainers on here did it. They were confident in their skills and line count before trying to venture out on their own. If I had done an online school, worked at a national for a year, made 100 lines an hour, I would think this career sucks too! So instead they are here crabbing. If I spent as much time on these boards complaining about the industry, I wouldn't be making any money either. Get over it, quit complaining, and get to work! I didn't even know our industry "sucked" (as so many people think it does) until I came here and read posts. Get over it or get out! It is sooooo getting old hearing about it. Same crap, different day! Can anyone tell me about an online forum where the real professionals are. I can't handle MTStars anymore. Good bye!
I fall into that category
I've been at this over 25 years. In its heyday, I have W2s showing 65-70,000. Yeah, I worked easily 55-60 hours a week, but at least I felt I had something to show for it. I'm putting the same hours at the desk, but only making a third of it now, between the lowered wages and the lack of work. I'm too old to learn an entire newly career (I'd be dead by the time I finished any lengthy course), nor do I make enough money to pay for anything; most of the time I have a hard enough time keeping the utilities on, let alone the money for classes of any sort.
I don't where the $31,000+ is being made for an 8 hour shift 5 days a week, but please point me in that direction.
How much did your income fall?
NM
Ever heard the old saying if you dont believe in something, you'll fall for anything? while you sit
people are having true experiences that make them have hope and belief that there is something more out there. With that attitude of yours, you're going straight to limbo!
Kids don't fall out of the sky, sweetcheeks. nm

never thought I would say it, but can't wait for FALL
It is so hot here in Ohio. The temperature can be in the high 80s or 90s but with the humidity, it puts the heat index up in the hundreds. You can't even walk outside without feeling like you can't breath. Can't wait for fall with the cooler air and the falling leaves. We are holed up in the house with the curtains closed and the shades drawn and the air cranked. Hot where you are?
I love fall but it is too short. nm

Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?
Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....
Did you just fall off the turnip truck?
Of course it's a scam. Grow up.
Unfortunately, it will fall on deaf ears.
But give it a shot.
Sure if you have a husband to fall back on!
I wouldn't be able to raise my children on my salary alone. We would have to live at the Salvation Army!
June to October? More in fall
Son will start Princeton in the Fall. nm

I think we fall more into the Fred and Wilma
Flintstone category. 
LOL--Agree. I fall asleep sometimes too..
just nod right off. I go back and listen, and I've always typed it correctly.
45 to 70 minutes, if I don't fall asleep. nm

I actually did fall asleep once, and kept typing.
When I semi-woke up at the end of the report I sent it in without extra proofing...had to do some fancy explaining the next day! Now when I get that way, I take a 20-minute nap (set a timer). It really does help for a couple of hours. 
October! Love the colors of fall
I feel so alive!
Fall is my favorite also - love Football!

Is it accurate that Fall is a slow time for MTs? sm
For the last two years I have been doing Urgent Care/ ER work and have not noticed any slow down but I am now doing multispecialty clinic work and I keep hearing about a big slow down. Can anyone shed some light on the subject for me. TIA
Admin, how do you get the snowflakes to fall on this site? SM
I help administer a website (not MT-related) and would love to have this effect. I've seen it other places too. How do you do this? Thanks.
Hmmm.what's going to happen within the next 5 years? Is the sky going to fall and
like the dinosaurs, wipe out all the MTs? Is a meteorite going to hit? MT's not going anywhere. Get over it people.
jobs don't fall off trees, have you noticed?
and the state labor board is like AAMT (s/b IAMT, Indian Assoc of Med. Trans.) not REALLY for the employee, if you know what I mean. Have they done anything for you?
You'd probably be AMAZED at how many people do fall for these things.

I totally understand that money does not fall from the sky....sm
What I was asking was if anyone had any suggestions on how to "make" money not it fall from the sky...Good grief!
