I have a shih-tsu and 120 pound lab/blue tick hound. Needless to say, Savannah would cost me an arm and a leg with conventional dips. If anyone knows of a good home brew I would surely appreciate it.

We brew different kinds at home....sm
I love grinding my coffee and mixing flavors. our favorites to mix are hazelnut and irish creme. My husband & I go to Starbucks once a week and usually get the caramel frappuccino as a treat - love that stuff!
home brewed flea remedy
I went nuts googeling for answers and here is what worked for me (still amazed it did).
Vacumn thoroughly then spread boric acid (Borax detergent) over the carpets and any areas your boys frequent.& spread salt (..mine loved under my desk so needless to say, my ankles were a mess) Leave the Borax down for 1/2 hour..this is supposed to kill the fleas and dehydrate the eggs. Then bath them using Dawn dishliquid and you see the fleas fall off! I also used a flea trap one site recommended. Put a low glass container filled halfway full with water & a few drops of detergent in it. Then put a gooseneck lamp directly over it. Supposed to attract the fleas and boy does it! They say fleas are blind and only jump onto a moving, warm object, so not sure how the trap works but it does. My little guy had his tail half chewed to shreds and I did not want to have to bomb the place because of the hassle with him and the cat and my allergies.
It's been three weeks now and all seems to be clear...I think I got most of this info off paws.com or something like that. HTH
that last recipe sounds good!
I actually do keep track of these recipes believe it or not. Gives me something to look forward to when I am working. DINNER!
MMM that last dish sounds yummy with the pork chops and potatoes. Thanks!

Or is it that brew your 2 icons are clicking??
Just kidding. I thought at first you were trying to say a beer wouldn't hurt. Yep, popcorn can liven up the looooooong evenings once in awhile, I know where you're coming from.
Great recipe, but please post on the Holiday/Recipe board.

Flea-be-gone
Get Frontling, Advantage or Revolution ASAP. One of those will be able to be used on pups. The chemical gets in the flakes of skin that fall off, which is what larva eat, thereby killing larva before they go into cocoon stage.
My family went to a flea market that is mostly run and
attended by Hispanics. There were several vendors selling leather goods, such as wallets, belts, shoes, etc. DH needed a new wallet so he picked one he liked and opened it up only to find a tag that said "MADE IN INDIA." (He didn't buy it.) We didn't look at any of the other leather goods, but found it very ironic that the Hispanics are now importing their "handmade" goods from India.
Same in our area at flea markets!
was all excited to go to one of the flea markets in Wales and England to see what interesting "stuff" I'd find there... well, guess what... same stuff I see here...and tons of Pakistans and Indians selling goods. Just thought it funny that flea markets are the same everywhere you go!
Herbal flea preventative - sm
Probably too late in season, depends where you live, but if you have any fleabane growing around the house (pretty yellow and white flower) may help. If available, make a tea by brewing up the flowers, and rinse puppy with that. Brewer's yeast in the water dish will help, and garlic. Gets into the systems and fleas won't bite with that in the animal. Hope this helps.
I think that is supposed to be flea, not free :) nm

Like a flea circus here, check is so small.

Yes, I agree. The risk is too high. Will purchase the cat flea repellant.

Good one, Home MT....
I had been using www.healthgrades.com but you have to go through a long convoluted trail of clicking through specialties and cities and agreeing to disclaimers.
I like your site. It is straight forward and takes partial names.
Thank You!!! 
Good idea, esp. if in your home...nm

Good ideas - but most want to be at home! sm
I work more being at home, albeit not in 8 straight hours, but I get more work done at home with more lph working in 2-hour shifts throughout the day. Working in the office would not cut it for me. I have been working at home for 16 years now, no way will I go back to an office. So, if you are looking for the seasoned MTs to work in the office with the newbies - good luck with that!
I think you have great ideas and it will work, you just might have to modify a few things along the way.
Best of luck to you!
Good to know. Thanks. I hope he has someone at home sm
who can do that for him. He'll just have to keep growing! Thank goodness no one has thought 20" is too small!
Teenagers good to be home with - I did the same thing
 Once had an argument with my boss working in the office, because my hours were supposed to be 7-3, or 3:30. I was on salary (can you believe that) at the time, and she expected me to stay till 5 or 6. She herself used to practically live there. I told her no, I wanted to be home with my kids, and she said they weren't babies anymore and didn't need me. Well, I left everyday after that by 3:30, and believe U me, it is a very good idea to be able to monitor your teenagers, and I would do it again (God forbid I ever had teenagers again) They are all grown now.
Does anybody have a GOOD home remedy for fleas...
I have two "sons" (shih tzus), one has long hair and the other has short hair. My short haired baby has fleas that I cannot get rid of. I have tried all kinds of over the counter medicine and I have done everything including cleaning this house top to bottom and bathing him 3 times a week. One would think the long haired one would have them worse, but he doesn't. He enjoys being groomed though and brushed daily whereas my short haired guy thinks the brush is a toy. I used the Zodiac line last year and had absolutely no problems at all but it is just not working this year. Any good ideas would be appreciated!!!!
Good thing you work at home
Hopefully one day when you need to vent, you at not treated the way you treat others but what goes around does come around.
Another good idea is Home Depot
My friend used to work in the travel industry, which has also gone down the tubes pretty much as a result of technology.
She's a very talented Martha Stewart type of person and always has a yard that's the envy of the neighborhood. She's seriously thinking of applying at Home Depot's home and garden department to give people advice about their yards. She said it pays well and the same with the benefits.
If you're talented in any type of home decorating, home repair, or horticulture I'd say apply at the Home Depot or maybe Lowe's!
Good for you. I love my local at home job.
can't imagine doing good work at home
(no buddy-help) without MT training, and getting good QA scores. There's too bloody-much detail anymore, ie, all the BOS rules, on top of account specifics, terminology, accents, etc... I have seen a couple people pick up the terminology and do well with only on-the-job training in the hospital setting, but that seems rather rare.
What is a good inexpensive small home printer.
:
Carpet cleaner? Flea spray? Chemicals used inside his car? Restaurant food? New vitamins? Cold

Maybe that's a good thing - it's a reason for the Indian docs to GO HOME

I make very good money at home with a small MTSO
What a perfect analogy! Shoot, I switched offices in my own home and it took a good 2 wks

I'm going to type an acct at home for local group. What is a good word expander for
things to know on doing tapes from an office? Is it best just to give them a disk and let them print it out at the office like they want to?
Anybody doing an acct like this? Thanks.
Union diesil mechanic - good pay, great benefits. We swap year to year on who brings home more sm
money.....but I am an IC and he has all the benefits...health insurance/dental that the company pays for, pension plan, 401k, etc. Factor all of that in and he makes way more than I do.
My kids have suffered greatly from me working at home with them home. SM
I have been working at home as an MT since my two kids were born. They are now 4 and 5. In the first few years, I had no help whatsoever. Their father was a bum who didnt work or take care of them while I worked. Your children get neglected while you work basically. And babies and young children desperately need your attention while they are home with you.
My kids have so many behavioral problems right now because of their neglect. I would try to set them up with things to occupy themselves, like coloring or a movie, etc.
I finally put them in day care and things have improved, but there are still a lot of issues because of the damage that was done. They still try to seek attention by doing bad things and they dont listen to me because they are so used to me letting them get away with a lot of stuff because I was too busy typing to discipline them in their early years.
If I could do it all over again, I would definitely have put them into day care from the very beginning.
My advice would be to seek PT care for your baby. Maybe you can do some work around her schedule a little when she is home, like when she takes a nap, and then bang out a bunch of work while she is in day care.
I enjoy being alone at home, but I've got one home sick from school already.
One on one with a kid is nice, too.
This summer has been absolutely crazy. I haven't had a moment to myself for three months because all of my kids were home traipsing their friends through the house and yard. My husband switched his work schedule, too, so he's around more than usual. However, I like not having to do two loads of dishes and four loads of laundry a day. There are no toys or clutter dragged out everywhere. I can clean the house first thing in the morning, and it stays clean until everyone gets home at night.
I even got to relax with a cup of coffee and watch TV for half an hour this morning, something I liked for a change instead of cartoons or kids' movies. I signed up for an online class that I've been wanting to take. I can exercise without being interrupted. Yesterday, I went to the mall and spent all my saved up gift cards. I got some clothes, books, bath stuff, and a new coffee mug. My work gets done a lot faster, too. Call me nuts, but I've never had the luxury of being alone in the house for 14 years. It's kinda nice. I love my family with all my heart, but I love having a few hours to myself each week, too.
Except now the cat and dogs have been acting weird since the kids went back to school. They must think that I need someone or something to clean up after and correct behavior on. They're getting into everything and racing around the house behind me.
my take is that she worked inhouse, not at home, and now wants to find out how to work at home. nm

Forget "per line." Your take-home pay should be taking home SM
roughly what it was before. If it is not, is it because your current pay rate for editing (which in many companies keeps changing as the VR system is developed) is too low or is it because your talents and skills are more for speed typing than speed editing?
If the first, discuss it with higherups, and go get a new job if you don't get the response you need. My last MTSO was secretly refiguring how production was counted to pay us less. I can accept hard reality, it was the secrecy that burned. Sometimes, though, it's just that the learning curves of individual editors and that of the system aren't in sync, and you end up temporarily making less.
If the second, though, recognize it as soon as possible and change to straight transcription work, in your company or a new one, for as long as you can find it.
As for why we aren't paid more for a higher skill, that's just the way the labor supply ball bounces. Best wishes.
Recipe please!! Thanks!

Go to the Food Network website and in the search box, type "cheese straws". You'll have a choice of many different recipes, but I think the one your mom is looking for using a cookie press is the recipe for "Zesty Cheese Straws" by Paula Deen.
