North & South Florida are radically different...

In Reply to: We are going to Florida for 3 days minus kids.. - TM
I grew up in the Miami area and agree with all of the negative posts here. It was always hot  and humid with lots of BUGS! There was maybe 6 weeks of pleasant weather in the winter.
I've been living in northern Florida for many years and love it. It is like a whole different state than south Fla. We do get hot and humid summers but that weather lasts about 4 months or so. We have a couple of months before and after summer where it is hot but not unbearable. Then the rest of the year is gorgeous. We get hard freezes a few times in the winter and the leaves change color (December and January) here. We experience the seasons without snow (once every 15 or 20 years) and have ice and frost only occasionally. Definitely wear coats and sweaters. Instead of palm trees everwhere, we live in a forested area and have oaks, maples, elms, etc as well as the pines. We are inland a bit but the beach is about 30 to 40 minutes away. Being inland, I never worried about hurricanes before. I just don't know any more though. These last 2 years were awful. Anyway, I'm rambling. Good luck with your move and I hope it is well north of south Florida and Orlando.

South Florida, been there
eight years, IC until this May, now Employee
Wow! I'm in North Central Florida. Last month's electric bill was $165. sm
I have electric everything and keep the thermostat set at 73. Some folks here with a different electric company have had bills triple to quadruple their normal. You may want to do some investigating.
I received mine from Zylomed North Florida. You may want to call them. nm

Line Rate in South Florida
Does anyone know what the going rate is in So. Fla? Whenever I tell prospective accounts 0.10 per 65 character, I never hear from them again. I think this is a VERY reasonable line rate. I am not going to work for free. Any advice is appreciated.
Worked for Zylomed South Florida, don't have mine yet. nm

They do that up north to.
I live in Illinois and there is a gas station here that posts the bad checks on this huge wall they have.

By the way...I worked a 12 hour shift today. I really don't need the correction on my spelling. I realize I hit the 'n' instead of the 'm'. I'm done now...this is dumb.
Me, too! We're in north Fla so
still haven't had the worst yet. Can you believe it is starting this early? This is getting pretty old!! I guess this one shouldn't be to bad though (hopefully). Stay safe!!
No, I'm in the north (Michigan) and (sm)
really don't have any at this time, either; I've only had a couple of accounts over the years where there were lots of drawls, I think one was a V.A. in S. Carolina. I think now they've probably all been replaced by ESLs!
North Alabama Transcriptionists
Are there any hospitals based in North Alabama who use at-home Radiology Transcriptionists?
Any North Alabama Transcriptionists?
I posted on the state board, but I don't think many people go to that board. I was just wondering if there any home-based transcriptionists near me. Thank you for your time.

I am in Limestone County.
North Myrtle Beach
Having lived at Pawley's Island - this is some really pretty country. Get out of the car at the Myrtle Beach Sign in the middle of the highway for some photo ops. Also, for those of you traveling to North Myrtle Beach - please make a short trip (30 minutes with no traffic) down to Pawley's Island and see the Brookgreen Gardens and Hunnington Beach. There are also a lot of "real" little shops at Pawley's Island with real treasures to find - not cheap souvenier stuff. You can watch the weavers make the Original Pawley's Island Hammacks. I know that you are all probably going for either the beach or the golf, but beware that the sewage drains into the ocean up on the Grand Strand and there is usually a daily feces report - so if it is high - don't go into the water. I hope that ya'll have a great time. If you get the chance - try some Shrimp and Grits, frogmore stew and some of the other low country delicacies. You will have a blast. Remember hurricane insurance, too - in case one is headed that way and you don't want to lose your money on your flight and accommodations. 
In Columbia, TN now about 3 hours north. nm
But of course, only in North America for the most part.
Read up some more. They use this term WIDELY in Asia...go figure! Don't know about you but I'm a bit sick of the politically correct crap going on in this country. I will side with the first dictionary - that it is grammatically correct albeit politically incorrect, because like who cares? I sure don't. : D
Yep, a hospital north of the river.
I'll email you the name.
Would love too, but I am in North Wilmington sm
and can't afford the time away from my account this time of year. Would love to take you up on it in the summer time. Spring is just so busy for me.
I'm in North Central Indiana
and have used ATT/yahoo DSL. Not sure if this would work for your or not, but I've used it for years and very rarely have problems.
Bern
PS- GO ND
Note it says North America - sm
that does not necessarily mean in the United States, still could be Mexico or Canada.
Any Canadian MTs here? Am thinking of moving north. Could you
I am interested in knowing a few things about living in Canada and working for the U.S. company. I also understand Canadian medical institutions utilize MTs. Would like to correspond with an MT living in Canada.
My e-mail address is above. If you have time to answer a few questions, please e-mail. I am considering moving to B.C., Vancouver or Okanagan Valley depending what I find during my scouting of each area; am presently in California.
Thank you!
Hope she lives in the north cuz if she gets in the sun and walks
across a highway it will create a grease slick from all that lard rendering.
Hi Soho! Just north of you in Dutchess county. :) nm

Up North, experienced, educated, well-rounded MTs.....sm
are making $19.76 hr average plus incentives, production bonus, and bennies....I loved working in-hospital, but right now I have family situations which must come first...no amount of money to sacrifice their welfare.
In Cherokee County, north of Atlanta

I'm in southern NY, 2hrs. north of NYC. One of the helpers on MTD is from upper NY, too. nm

In North Alabama, school starts back August 4th. We get out the end of May.
:O)
Anyone ever stay at Monterey Bay Suites in North Myrtle Beach?
I was checking out there brochure and it said completely renovated for 2006 and their prices are great...Plus you get free breakfast buffet and nightly dessert...sounds great and the pictures look great...but almost too good to be true for that price....Anyone stayed there? If so, how was it?
Here in North Carolina they get to operate a motor vehicle at age 15 when accompanied by
a licensed driver. No, they do not state WHO has to be the licensed driver (i.e. friend, neighbor, etc) or how long the licensed driver needs to be licensed, but at 14.5 years they start driver's education in the schools! It is ridiculous to me, as they are children operating a very dangerous toy and I pray they up the age before my children reach it, as I do not feel children possess the maturity and forethought to drive at such a young age.
south where
Church retreats, bus tours. Casinos. (Tournaments for pinochle)....
where in the south are you?
some schools here started today, but mine started LAST Monday! It's kind of a relief, but I miss 'em already! Have a good first day of school! 
And here in the south we would say...
Bless your heart, in other words you don't know any better and I feel sorry for the venom you are spewing out. You must really be one angry person! You assume this and that about the job I am doing. I format no work, keep no records, no copies. There are a lot of people out there who read these posts and it seems like you have just called a whole host of them unprofessional with the term "any professional peers" not beubg worried about their jobs. I think most of the people worrying might object to that. Just go back under your rock and I hope things pick up for you. Again, bless your heart.
What an ignorant reply, not all oriental countires are in Asia, also in North Africa, see below..
Since when is 'oriental' offensive or an embarrassment?
On what planet do you live?
And in the year 2001?
I live in the south.
I was raised to be prejudiced. As I became an adult I learned better. Now I have mixed children on both sides of my family. I really hurts me to see these children, who I love dearly mistreated. Although the crime in the Holloway case may be a racial issue, I do not see that the media sensation is. She was an American tourist in a foreign country. People are interested. That sells newspapers, magazines and time on TV news. That says a lot about the American people. Missing children and teenagers in the U.S. are, for lack of a better term, "old news". Not to say that a parent of a poor missing child in this country is not just as devastated, I am saying that this is the way we have become.
Hey, I WAS born in the south and I don't get it either.
But then again, I guess south Florida is not considered "The South," right?
I live in conservative N FL now and well, it's different..
You and msbeanctr are right on target and very eloquet.
have you ever lived in the south?
If not, then don't make negative comments about people you know nothing about.
I did South Beach also -
and lost the tummy area first. I was absolutely amazed how I was never hungry and didn't crave chips, ice cream and chocolate! I found it time consuming preparing the meals, but the results were worth it.
Goin South
That line was the funniest in the movie! (That and "Where's my bride?!" when he meets the 80-year-old who saved him from hanging.) Now I have to get out my old VHS tape & watch it again! LOL
Transcription South Inc
All these days I was told that TSI is a "do not outsource company" but I was shocked to find this claim on the net by an unknown Indian company in their site "SSAPL, parent company of ISPL has recently acquired Transcription South Inc.(TSI), in Florida which is now a sister concern of ISPL and has been serving hospitals from Tallahassee to Miami for over twenty five years." (infovisionsoftware.net) Can anybody shed some light on it
Do you either live in the south or
where brought up the south?
Transcription South
I worked for them 6 years ago. The owners are nice people. The wife is a MT. They were partners with Dictaphone at the time and had some problems with the work and the relationship with them and did not have enough work, so I went elsewhere. Don't know what they are like to work for now, but the owners are really nice people.
It is pointing south, but ...
it has to be aimed directly at a particular satellite. There is evidently an arc of them to the south, but we are aimed at one that one of the techs admitted they were having problems with.
I am a little south of Atlanta
probably about 20 miles or so, used to live right in Atlanta but the living where I am very, very reasonable now. What part of NC to be so expensive?
