I had thought of that too - also where are the fleets of Greyhound busses from everywhere else in th
there are sites everywhere of people (including myself) offering up room in their houses for families. But these people cant get here. WHERE IS THE HELP!!!!! GOD HELP OUR COUNTRY IN TIMES OF TROUBLE. I'm just beside myself with worry.
A nice sunny room just for me in our finished lower level. Love my cocoon room.

I have a greyhound that absolutely hates storms, hides in the walk-in closet for at least an hour
after they are over. She shakes, also, and if this gets bad, I give her Dramamine when I know a storm is coming up. You might do this when storms are predicted, shouldn't do anything but calm them down and make them a little drowsy. Also, be sure and give the medication for the first time when you are going to be around in case your dog has an adverse reaction. Check with your vet for dosage -- Have a greyt day and hope this helps!
I have never had my own room. I shared a room with my sister, went away to college sm
and had a roommate (whom I am still close to) for 4 years, moved back home and back to sharing a room with my sister while she went to a local college and then got married. In fact, after 17 years of marriage, this is the first time in my life that I have had my own dresser, not just the top two or bottom two drawers!
I could never live alone. Not for fear but for loneliness. I like my alone time but I love to have people around.
While I was sleeping
You could not possibly work for MDI-FL. I was in the hospital in March and the girls at work refer to it "when Liz was sleeping".. I sent out a mass email when I came back in July. I am really sorry you did not get it.
You are very bitter and this is very sad.
If you truly worked for MDI you would have gotten the mass email thanking everyone for their prayers and support.
I don't think cherrypicking can ever be stopped at any company, but we do try our best.
Thanks,
Liz
Sleeping sm
I live in a noisy summer community. I have put my CD player on with earphones, although I worry about whether there would be a major disaster such as a fire, etc., I would not hear. I have told my neighbors of my plight and told them to pound on my door should they have to. I like Kenny G, Beethoven, beach sounds, rain sounds, etc., I put on my CD player, plug in my earphones, take a Benadryl or whatever and shut the blinds. Make a comfortable bed and wear comfortable clothing such as a workout suit if you don't want PJ's. At first I was uncomfortable but then you realize it's the only way. You have to get some sleep, been there, done that. Sometimes a sleepy, no-caffeine hot tea after you make up your bed will help. No caffeine, no worry, no phone, just put your trust in the fact that should something awful happen, your doorbell will ring, the neighbor, or God forbid, the police, will find you, just go to sleep! Good luck and God bless. If someone needs you bad enough, you'll hear it, just relax!
Sleeping......no two ways about it! NM

Not lately. The sleeping issue has always
been one we've disagreed on, even when he was working, so it's kind of got too many old fights behind it, kwim? That's what makes me frustrated probably as I don't feel like these are things we can ever agree on. His "compromise" is not sleeping until 11 and only letting the kids watch 1 hour - not a compromise at all to me, but I apparently don't appreciate that it is. I appreciate your thoughts though.
trouble sleeping
Anyone have any suggestiongs, except for Tylemol PM or Advil PM. I am just afraid that these can cause liver problems. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
trouble sleeping
Valerian is a all natural sleep aid which helps some people very much. However, be prepared for the smell open the lid and close quickly. There is NO bad taste. Hope this helps.
try herbs for sleeping
I don't work 3rd shift but do have insomnia. I've found that herbs work nearly as well as prescribed meds for sleeping, and I don't wake up feeling groggy. Valerian is good, as is skullcap, but it seems that combinations work best. There's one called Sleep Like a Baby from a mail order company, HCBL, that works really well.
Aside from coffee and sleeping, how do you keep yourself awake?
I'm so very, very tired and sleep deprived this week from everything that's going on. My eyelids keep drooping and I can't get motivated, but I have to get this work done. I know if I try a little catnap, I'll be out like a light for the rest of the day. Any tips?
WANTED: SUGGESTIONS TO HELP WITH DAY SLEEPING
I like working the graveyard shift, but am having trouble getting consistently good sleep during the day. So far, I have a dark mask, ear plugs, and have tried both diphenhydramine and melatonin as sleep aids. The sleep aids have not really been effective. I also find that playing soft music in the background is helpful in blunting the sound of traffic outside my window, which I can hear despite the ear plugs. Does anyone have any other helpful suggestions, tips, tricks, OTC pharmaceutical remedies of which I'm not yet aware? TIA..
I'm getting tired of sleeping on the couch. We bought a (sm)
fairly expensive mattress and my husband and I both do not like it at all. I have resorted to sleeping on the couch sometimes because it is more comfortable. Thanks for the input. I'm looking at the 5000 Queen. Which do you have?
This stuff causes allergies in some people, too, and problems sleeping! nm

Sleeping all day long while my little fantasy slave does my lines LOL :-)
Wow... you vacuum every day? Dang, I'd never even get 50 lines done a day if I did that. I maintain and clean seriously on my one day off, but... hats off to you, sister!
NO, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM
in the insane asylums for all us newbies !!!!!!
Seriously,I do turn the speed up one notch from the middle for one or two excellent dictators, but any more than that, and most dictators would sound like chipmunks!!
I have room -- do you?
Looking at all of those thousands of displaced, hardworking, honest people and families you have to know that their homes and jobs are simply gone. They will need to start over elsewhere.
Can someone create an information bank of those of us willing to offer housing availablity (such as an extra bedroom) on a short-term basis. Sort of a temporary arrangement for the family to have shelter and food while looking for a new job/home etc?
Is there an agency for this?
I'm a room mom too...I always sm
order from Oriental Trading Company. Tons of inexpensive crafts for all ages. Sometimes the teacher will take up a 50 cent or 1 dollar donation from each child to cover the cost, but generally I just pay for it myself and write it off as a donation.
Get a room

I have my own room
used to be the third bedroom. Just recently budget decorated (yard sale finds, etc) it in a moderate retro look, black/gray computer, black accessories, peach wall and funky 1950s barkcloth curtains and bulletin boards (can't live without a place to tack up reminders, etc), black iron and oak bakers rack, painted a tall chest of drawers black to hold office supplies, black bookcase and two dark oak desks. Sounds kinda of dark with all the black, but it is realy quite light with the peach on the walls. Going for a more clean, streamlined look (Previously had country birdhouse decor). Even with my own office, I'm constantly fighting paperwork!! Ugh!
When I was room mom.....
I coordinated parties, helped out with field trips, that sort of thing. I had student names and their parents and telephone numbers so I could call around if I needed help with something (like a Christmas party). Also, to introduce yourself, send a note home with each child introducing yourself and letting them know if they have questions, they can call. I had parents call me just to find out my thoughts on different things going in the class. I loved being room mom. You get to know the kids. Also, let the teacher know that you are available to help her. Good luck!!
room mom
 Oh boy, does that bring home memories! I was not a success....the first thing you do is take a Valium an hour before you go! Seriously though, talk to your co-mom, then the teacher, ask her about the dos and don'ts of parties, etc. I think the thing that got me the worst was the little chairs I had to sit on! Lot of trouble getting down on one, then getting up!
The little ones (I'm talking kindergarten) are excited to be there, they get noisy, and there are a lot of them! Also, there are always one or two that cry at first, one might go somewhere and cover up with a blanket and stay there the entire time, sucking his/her thumb! Of course, somebody always wets their pants or worse in the beginning. I thought I would lose my mind, but I kept smiling!
Best of luck! Remember, your offspring will be so happy and proud that you are there, so hold the banner high!
room mom sm
In addition to coordinating parties, etc., the room moms at my daughter's school usually have some kind of a get together so that all the moms can get to know each other. Also, it gives the room mom a chance to go over things that will be happening in the class.
Last year, we had a little "party" at the room mom's house with snacks, etc. That was a great way to get to know the other moms. The teacher usually meets with the room mom before the get together at the beginning of the school year.
The room mom also asks for volunteers for any party, field trip, etc. We always have plenty of volunteers which makes the room mom's job a lot easier!
Hope that helps!
Too bad she's not in the same room with you
so you could ask her if there was something you could help her with so you could both get back to knocking out the reports.
got room in that bag for me too??? --nm

Agree! There's room for everyone. :) nm

chat room
On the main board, menu on the left says "chat". I have clicked on it several times and it always says no one in the room.
there is enough room on this board for a little bit of everything.

In AOL chat room.
Chat room
Just wondering why there is so few in chat room. Whenever I go to chat, no one is there. 
She is in our utility room, so she is out
of the rain. We have a chest freezer in there which puts out heat. We also have our hot water heater in there, which puts out heat and we also leave a light on for her, which generates some heat. She has room to lay down and stretch a little, just not as much room as a big dog really needs.
Have radios in every room -- all do it. nm

Always room for improvement
I do agree that they have areas where they need to improve but I promise you that they are working hard at making changes for the better for the good of the MTs out there. I'm sure I'm going to get slammed for coming to their defense (I can take it), but I just find it a bit hypocritical that so many people are so quick to bash them but yet don't hesitate to send folks to the organization when they need something such as the QA Document.
I probably shouldn't have jumped to conclusions (yes, I'm guilty), as I don't have any idea if those who posted above referring this person to AAMT are pro-AAMT or not. But, still want to say hooray for seing SOMETHING positive being posted on this board about AAMT. No, they are not perfect but they have achieved great things and greater things to come, I feel confident.
WAY better - now there's actually room on the stage...
for all the others!
Room mom anyone? I need some help/advice. sm
i have never been room mom but got elected somehow this year of being room mom. Where do i start and what do i actually do other than help coordinate parties? i got sent home a list today of all the students names that are in the class and my co-room mom's name. do i contact the teacher and say what do i do or what? HELP!!!!! i have no clue............
Emergency Room
 I type ER notes at my current job and I get the same thing. I bet 90% of my reports are for sore throats. I actually had one a few weeks ago for a cold! Come on now people! Everyone knows there is no cure for a cold! That is why most of us cannot afford health insurance. I had a couple bring a baby to the ER because it spit up during the night (just once). Come on! Babies do spit up. Natural. This happens. Buy a baby book!
Have room just for my office
I have a really big house and not that many people so have my own comfy quarters. I have a television in the room and it is on all the time but not a distraction for me, rather just sound around and the news when I need it.
room where you transcribe
I am finding it difficult these past few days to focus. my computer is in my living room, off to a corner and I have a partitioner dividing my room as my living space downstairs is all open. I live by myself so I really have no distraction. I have a small dog who is really well behaved. My question is did anyone have any luck with moving their office to another room in trying to stay focus? I have my upstairs where one room is empty but at the time I moved in I thought Imight feel too secluded being up there but now I am wondering maybe that is what I need. Thanks. I am almost answering my own question as I am writing this!!
I use a separate room
I have a 2 bedroom place, hubby and I use the master room and I transcribe in the "office." This keeps me, for the most part, without distractions other than those I create myself. I set up a place for my cats to sleep so they don't sleep on the computer desk, and have found that this works the best for me...very short attention span when I tried it in the living room. Just don't move work into the bedroom you sleep in, might cause sleep problems.
chat room
anyone ever use MT stars chat room? Just discovered it.
chat room
Hi,
Wondering if anyone wants to get together in the chat room. LOL, that sounds a little scary. No seriously, I am always looking to see if anyone is in the chat room and never a person there. Anyone interested in meeting in there for some chatting?
Chat room
I would be interested, may be we could get a group together at a specific time and share experiences?
Chat room
Everyone agrees they want to chat, but no one sets a time/place. Rather than private e-mails, lets set a time here for all to see. Tonight would have been good for me, but no one else committed. Possibly if a time were posted here, as the time approached more would check in. Let's try it. Tomorrow night 01/01/2007, 7:00 EST?
Did't Know There Was a Chat Room!!

Chat room
Chat room is here. Click on "CHAT room" top right corner of the page. See ya there. 
There's only so much room for the subject
Then you have to put it inside so it can be read.
In answer to your question, I think it depends on your bank. They actually have a timeframe before they HAVE to release it to your account. Could be a couple days. My bank's pretty good, and it's usually available right away.
How do you do MT from motel room?
nm
She said furnished room, usually sm
it's a room in someone's house and all utilities are included in rent. If the house has internet, then that would be part of the rent she pays.
is it part of your job to be in a room sm
with a patient? Its not mine. Contrary to what some people think, MTs are not physicians but some sure act like it.
I believe you have to have a room dedicated - sm
as the home office for your work. My "office" is in the MBR so I have never deducted the home office part plus we kept talking about building/moving so I did not want to get into that mess with the IRS when we sold the house wtih depreciation and all that, but I do deduct everything else, a portion of our electric, heat, phone, internet, supplies, etc. If it is used for my IC job I write it off basically. I have receipts to back it all up and deduct about 33% of the electric and heating costs for business (8 hours a day worth), keep a spread sheet of the month electric and our propane costs and basically divide it by 3 at the end of year to get my figure for write-off. Have never had an issue doing it this way.
