 This doc stutters, stammers, doesn't know how to use the reverse key to make corrections and ...corrects over himself all the time so I have no idea what he REALLY means...
Talks through his nose, buries the words up somewhere in his left sinus I think, drops off the ends of words, I think he EATS that last parts of words so they never get said....
and now tonight he will just say terms like ...Temperature 98.5....then a pause...then Temperature 98.6....then he says I'm sorry....then he just starts in talking about the spine.
It's like standard phrases are just falling out of his mouth as he sits there and he's not even knowing he's saying them and they have no connection to what he's doing.
HE'S DRIVING ME NUTS.....ER than I am.

She looks like she has had a stroke.

Only one key stroke
You can set it up so that you use just CTRL L or whatever combo you want. If you do a lot of editing, this can save you one or two Keystrokes from placing the spaces in, deleting the first character of the next sentence and making it a capital.
Someone on here posted once that she has a macro that only saves her one total keystroke. She's a QA editor, though, and she uses that macro hundreds of times a day.....................doing the math......................
Anything that saves you keystrokes = more productivity = more $$$.
Sense of humor intact! Sense of hope as well! LOL
Yep, I knew it was advice, and I appreciate ALL points of view as it gives me perspective. 8-) I've been reading the boards for a while now, and I realized that I'd get the good, the bad, and the ugly, and that's okay!
However, I specifically asked for advice about how to do it rather than whether to do it, though, as I've already decided to defy the odds and give it a go.
Enjoyed the NCLB reference, by the way!
One character or key Stroke is equal
... to one byte (including spaces or anyother character, remember one KEY STROKE regardless of the input). If you ever want to calculate your bytes for certain amount of text -> paste it on NotePad and save it as text file. Later you can right click on the file to get it's properties to see it's exact size.
fruit/veg
What combo of this do you mix up. Sounds wonderful.
Fruit with dip..sm
Dip -
8 oz. softened cream cheese, 7 oz. marshmellow cream, 1 tsp sugar - mix well. WONDERFUL on apples!
I knew one that worked 18 hours a day and had a stroke
and could not work for a long time after that. We have to be so careful in this business.
I understand some don't pay for spaces, but that one key stroke isn't a big deal IMO.
I would think having your document look right would be more important than whether or not you had to strike one extra key. After all, we use a lot of tools like ShortHand and get paid for the whole word even if we just use a 2-3 letter code.
I guess I am just not getting what the big deal about hitting the space bar again would be even if you aren't paid to do so.
Another great fruit dip. sm
20 oz can of crushed pineapple
1 box vanilla pudding (3.5 oz size) NOT INSTANT
8 oz cool whip
1/2 cup sour cream
Don't drain pineapple. Mix all together and chill well. It's wonderful on fruit and also on fruit bread. In fact, I like to eat it just plain.
Since it's hard to eat a lot of fruit
also think about a juicer. The advantages are that you get a the nutrients and live enzymes which work at the cellular level and don't have to be digested first. Of course, this should not be a substitute for EATING the fruit and veggies, 'cause the fiber is also valuable to your digestive system; juicing is just a good way to supplement what you are already eating. I would recommend organic stuff so you don't eat or juice pesticides, etc. Eat your colors...blueberries and other berries in general. Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower also are great antioxidants. Spinach is also a power food. There are some good juicing recipe books out there if you are targeting specific things. Good luck and good for you for taking care of your health!
My hubbie had a massive stroke in 1996 and since then I have been the only income...sm
in our home. Our vehicles were repossessed on Christmas eve of that year and within 6 months of his stroke we lost everything. We had no car, no home, etc, but by luck insurance paid most of his medical bills, but our credit was shot. He has not been able to work since and I am an MT, so that probably tells you what type of money we are making. I am only telling you this because there is light at the end of the tunnel. You hubbie will be able to work again and it might take some time, but you will be able to get out of this mess. I would recommend a book by Dave Ramsey called "The Total Money Makeover" and he explains how to get completely out of debt no matter what your situation. He also has a daily radio program, you can go to his web site and find it, but he really has advice that can help you right now. I am not sure if you are a believer, but prayer right now if you are can really help to give you some peace. I really do understand where you are at and have been in your shoes. Believe me, it will get better. Please feel free to email if you need to talk.
It sounds like you've got a key stroke in your macro that retrieves from your clipboard.
I would delete the macro and start again. Be very deliberate and slow so you are aware of every keystroke in the macro. That's what I've had to do in the past. Sometimes I will even just one finger it so I can watch every key I hit. It's a pain, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
I nearly suffered heat stroke taking a bike ride in 105 degrees.

it can also perform utilities - one stroke deletes 1 through X words to the left, jump up

I used filtered water with frozen fruit dropped in it

Yes, it smells like tropical fruit, papaya maybe. It's awesome.

sure i was. i'm making fun of the people who are making a case for background checks, etc
to do medical transcription at home as if they may do something AWFUL with the info they receive. So if you want an invasion of privacy let's REALLY invade it and make sure fat chicks don't transcribe because they are so busy eating they can't get the work done, they mess up the keyboard with food and if they are provided health insurance they will raise the rates for the company sky high because their health risks are higher than others. Then there are the psychological issues overweight people bring to the table. After we eliminate fat people, we can go on to eliminate diabetic people who may have low blood sugar while typing and go into a spell and type the wrong thing. I could go on and on through the process of elimination. How about prescribed medications that may cloud your thinking? So you take Ambien to sleep but you have an Ambien groggy hangover when you are transcribing? Should they transcribe. How about your teens are on your last nerves and you take a Xanax? Should you be allowed to transcribe?

Pasta salad
I am making this as we speak.
1lb box rotini pasta
add 1 bag frozen vegetables at the end of cooking time. Your choice. I use California mix, broccli, cauliflower, carrots.
Drain and cool.
When cool add 1 bottle ranch dressing, or pepper ranch, or Italian dressing. Any kind of dressing will do.
Add 1 can sliced olives. Sometimes I add artichoke hearts chopped up, sometimes some pepperoni chopped.
Mix well and chill well. Just before serving I mix in about a 1/4 cup grated cheese.
Delicious.
Dinner tonight? For me, it's grilled mahi-mahi, fruit/veggie salsa, brown rice and broccoli.
