Wow...wish I had time for my favorite
I love House, Y&R, and B&B..so I do lunch at around 1:00 to catch the end of Y&R and all of B&B.
Other than that, I really don't have time for TV. I try to watch House while in the bed on Tuesday nights, but usually end up falling asleep somewhere in the middle of the show and have to ask my son what happened...
what are your favorite top 3 movies of all time?
1. A River Runs Through It
2. The Notebook
3. Bladerunner
My all-time favorite ESL funny
"Patient complains that he is not able to sleep while he is driving."
The patient was a long-haul trucker. I want them to stay AWAKE while they're driving!! 
Northern Exposure - all time favorite (sm)
I watch Seinfeld reruns all the time. I also like All in the Family reruns.
What is your all time favorite female song?...sm
My daughter just advanced to the local FOX station Idol contest and now has to pick three great songs in a week. She loves all types of music so it is hard to pick the right song. She has a deep, powerful projecting voice but has a little trouble with the higher notes. Just thought you all could give some different ideas, old and new songs, all genres alike. Thanks
Strawberry Wine by Deanna Carter (not my all-time favorite, but at the top) nm

What's your favorite food. Favorite in that you could only have one last meal what would it be?
Indulge me while I stare at computer screen waiting for Q work that isn't there.
I love spaghetti but only served with a great salad with olive oil and some garlic bread. Can't have pasta alone. And needless to say a glass of red wine. No dessert, just extra spaghetti.
Me too.. Koss DC/10! nm

I use Koss behind the ear
Love them! The sound is great and they don't hurt at all! And reasonably priced!
Anything by Koss.
Most Sonys are excellent too. Also the Sennheiser PX100 is great, comparable somewhat to the Koss Portapro, though the cheaper Koss ones sound great too.
I've heard the Panasonics are cheap and amazing for the price, but haven't tried any of them yet.
Koss
I bought a really nice pair of Koss earbuds at Wal-Mart. I have problems with a lot of headphones hurting my ears too. These ones have those little black things that go in your ears. It comes with three different sized rubber things so you can use the ones that fit your ears. They are really great for blocking out noises too.
I don't know what the Koss Plug is, but for myself I just
The kind with the small, hard ends that fit into your ear, not the big, round, padded ends with the foam on them. They're under $20. They don't hurt at all, and I find the sound quality to be fine--but I've not had a lot of experience with other, higher quality earplugs.
Koss DC-10 Headset
 Do any of you use the Koss DC-10 headset? How is it? I need to replace my headset and I want to invest in a good new one. Can you tell me . . . are the ear inserts foam or a plastic-type material? It is difficult to tell by the picture on the web-site I have looked at. I perfer the plastic insert to foam. :-) I think they last much longer and seem to block out the outside noise. Your opinions please! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Just bought some Koss
"SPORTCLIP" stereophones and love them. Got them at Radio Shack for about $25. Each side hooks directly over the ear, no headband on top or behind the head, and you can hardly even tell you have them on as they are very lightweight. They do block outside noise quite well--I have been startled by family members who walked up behind me and then tapped me on the shoulder. They also have a volume control right on the cord, an absolute necessity for me. They have a standard plug but I have a USB adapter and have them plugged into the front of my computer. The cord isn't real long, only 4 feet, which I am still getting used to, but otherwise I love everything about them.
anyone using koss QZ99
headphones? is the headband comfortable? do you like them?
Koss earphones....$5.00 at Wal-Mart

I like an expensive Koss brand I get at
Wal-Mart. They fit around the back of your head, have a big "muff" (don't know what you call them) and don't squeeze so tight you sweat. I think they are are $9.99. They only last me about a year though as one of the wires seems to break and you don't get sound in both ears. I've had several pair of them and really like them other than having to replacement them every year or so.
Thank you for the Koss headphone recommendation sm
I had to get another pair because think my $45 pair is dying and I can't afford another pair...and 2 new keyboards, a new mouse, a space heater, a special MT pedal and some software this month.
I was at Wally's and they had one type of Koss headphones only costing $5 and I bought them. I really like them and they are quiet. They even came with an extra pair of padded foam thingys for the ear part.
So, to all who said try them, I have and many thanks.
I use Koss headphones. They are huge, but effective.

Koss DC-10 and radio shack booster
http://www.officedirectinc.com/DCHS.htm for headset
Radio Shack does not appear to carry theirs anymore. This one on ebay might work similarly.

I use a cheap Koss headphone. They go behind your head and the ear pieces are
big, but don't cover the entire ear. They are stereo with a volume control in-line. They cost $20 or less at Wal-Mart and I have to replace about once a year because a wire breaks and I don't get stereo. Any of bud ones hurt my ears.
I wear cheapie ear buds from Target, any brand, usually Koss. Comfy, light, good sound, cheap. nm

he was my least favorite as well, but what comes around goes
Brenda cheated on him with just about everyone, even a woman, the first season? Still in shock. There are three more shows left, who else is a goner?
My favorite is
tea sweetened with apple juice, maybe squeeze of lemon or lime or if I want to get real crazy some of that bottled pomegranite juice! Very refreshing and no refined sugar.
who is your favorite?
I relate to all 4 women in some way or the other I think. I think Miranda might be mine. They are all great.
My favorite....
very tough choice, but probably Charlotte : )

My favorite, too, and...
you can find great sales. I always keep an extra on hand, just in case.
I had wrist/elbow problems until I started using the 4000. It's a work and a wonder!
However, now I can't type on a straight keyboard to save my soul. It's a fair trade, I think.
My favorite is...sm...
Bytescribe wav player. I've tried Express Scribe and Start Stop. Express Scribe doesn't have good sound, and Start Stop was very buggy. I've heard the older versions are better. I bought mine in December 2005. Wouldn't work right after several install/uninstalls. Tech support couldn't help me. I didn't have time to send it back before while it was eligible to return.
I play DSS files, and there's a trick to getting DSS files to play really really well on a Bytescribe. Bytescribe wav player was made for wav files. You can email me if you want to know how to do this or call Bytescribe. They have another program you can use that converts DSS to Wav files. It's already on your computer if you use the Wavplayer.
I would recommend Bytescribe if you're playing Wav files and Olympus DSS player pro if you're playing DSS files, although I've never tried DSS player pro but heard it's good.
I think it's worth the money to invest in a good player. It will pay for itself over and over again in productivity and less mistakes because you can hear better. It also pays to have a very good sound card on your computer, especially if you're on a laptop.
favorite and most used
The Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine Words, 4th edition. You can find anything in there from bacteria to blood tests, etc. love it!
My favorite one of all is
woman came in with shortness of breath and difficulty breathing after eating p___is. It was supposed to be after eating "peanuts."
my favorite was
when I worked inhouse at a hospital a girl that worked in medical records was talking to her coworker who also did medical records and said loud enough that I would hear "a monkey could do transcription." I guess insecurity plays a part in this kind of talk. They must want their job to look more important. Sorry, I cannot think of other reasons why people talk this way.
My favorite....
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Drunk.
and my favorite..
I love it when they think they're being helpful and spell a word but spell it hopelessly wrong!
My favorite
I really do love doing PT and OT except when they do their discharge summaries.
Why? Because they have to list how many treatments, no-shows, and cancellations the patient had.
most of the time dictators have this information gathered before they dictate, but there's this one woman who constantly has us listen as she turns each page and counts up the totals. So basically we hear "patient was seen... page turn 1, page turn 2, page turn 3, etc., until she gets to the total number of visits, (which can sometimes get upwards of 40!)
then she starts over turning pages and adding up the no-shows
and THEN she starts over turning pages and adding up the cancellations

My favorite is the doc who either
has a conversation with other docs and/or nurses when they should be dictating, or answering a phone call while dictating. I do VR and all that garbage goes into the report, and I have to delete all of it. Of course, some conversations can get quite interesting.
Here is my favorite
http://upin.ecare.com/
I use this multiple times a day. You can put in a partial first and/or last name and search by specialty, search by zipcode, search by state, or search any combination of those. Quick and easy to use, very basic.
Ops always my favorite
from day 1. Started on ops as a beginner, still doing them and love them. Don't mind the other basic 4, but find all the meds and lab results annoying at times.
favorite snack
I have so many "favorites" I can't even begin to choose.
Favorite snack
I luv Vienna sausage and crackers. Can also be a quick lunch!
What are your favorite dictators?
I like the ones who right when they begin dictating, turn around and speak directly into their armpit. Or how about the ones who carry on a complete conversation in English to the nurse next to them, then when they start dictating they sound like one of those auction guys who have had a few drinks?
My current favorite....
revises every sentence at least 3 times without fail. My first runner up dictates on a cell phone, drops every other call, and spells out every other word in case I don't know how to spell anything with more than 6 letters.
