Both my kids were born there. Best hospital food on earth! nm
My sons are born again too and their wives can't leave the house, home school the kids, no tv,
and if my DIL wanted to work, it is out of the question. One of my sons just believes in having babies and having babies. They now have 5. I divorced his dad and apparently his dad taught them this is the American way. I just feel so bad for both my sons' wives. They both are born again and both live their life that way.
Morning baby, morning adult. Kids born at 11:30AM (both) are night owls, however. Go figure! :) nm

just had a shower for twins 2 mths ago
The gift baskets as mentioned by some posters were the hits. Bathtub filled with all the bath essentials, diaper changer or pale with all diapers, wipes, etc, bottle sets, bib's, socks, blankies and all the basics.
Since it was twins, we also had people pitch in with dinner dates...pick a night and bring dinner for the exhausted new parents. They ended up having fantastic food for over a month
who did chris sing with? They could have been twins...
Never caught the name of the group, but Chris sure did sing better then the lead singer. LOL.
Hmm...so far? Is she going to be like that 70-year-old who birthed twins last week??
You never know these days!
My kid stopped going at 18.....SM
She liked her pediatrician so much she stayed until 18.....
Re QA, has anyone stopped
looking at their edited reports? I simply cannot do it anymore. For 18 years I have been transcribing medical reports, and the more I type the worse QA seems to think I am. It is to the point I cannot bear to look at my reports anymore...it is crazy with tiny little errors and it only makes me sick, literally. Then if I want to take 1/2 hour out of my time I can relisten to all my reports, and 8 out of 10 times it is a 50-50 chance of who is right but of course it is always the editor. I get through the 'grunt' work, piecing together a puzzle from some horrendous dictator, with a 99% completed report, send to QA for 1 blank, and it comes back with 3 or 4 ridiculous noncritical errors which matter nothing to the content of the report, and all because someone was able to 'listen' against my already typed report (aww, that is so hard!) and found 'is' where it is totally questionably there or not, and I am sick of fighting it anymore. I have spent WAY TOO MUCH time worrying about this ridiculous stuff. What I want to know is: Does anyone else not look anymore, and how much can it hurt. There are editors who just want to mark off for something, anything, and make a name for themselves it seems even at the expense of ruining someone's QA score. How about I just stop looking and let a manager fire me one day because my score is down...who cares anymore. I will not even respond to posts with the attitude that we need to provide quality to the customers blah blah blah - hey, if hospitals wanted quality the work would NOT be going overseas to ESL transcriptionists in the very first place, nor would capitation be in place and all the woes that has brought, nor would our personal information be 'out there' floating around so some day it can be breached. That argument is totally lost on me. American MTs get constant abuse from not only the dictators but again also from editors, all the while reports come back from India or elsewhere with never a care or problem from hospitals at their quality or errors...oh it is a big joke all the time how many errors they make but that is okay, that is acceptable for them. For us - look out, you are constantly harassed and repeatedly tormented on a daily basis over this. It is not right, it just is not right.
Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

I stopped letting them do that.
Too many times they had inexperienced techs who messed everything up. Once my computer crashed because of what they did. Another time, another company, they deleted a program and nothing would work right. Just because they say they are a computer tech does not mean they know anything. Many do not even have a certificate, just a litle on the job training.
That was a while ago and they stopped docking pay.

I use ESP and mine stopped just
I have a question. How do you have 2 list open at the same time? I can merge 2 list but I don't know or see a way to have 2 separate list open.
p.s. This is a work computer, not my PC, so the software may or may not be the same.
I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!! You know exactly what you said. You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed! You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT. Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you. Why have kids at all? Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked! Give me a break! Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT. Your own words showed your heart. Period.
They stopped making those back around
1914. But hope you find one anyway! Main thing is be happy with yourself and your life. Funny thing is years ago my son wanted a fish tank, so we kept upgrading to larger sizes, going from 5 gallon, to 10 to 35 and then 40 gallon. At that point, I told my son, "I will not get a larger tank because I will not get married just to have a man around to carry that ding-dong tank!!" That is the way I live my life; what I can handle and what makes me happy and trying not to have to depend on a DH to help. Maybe one day, I'll find a good man just to hang around with. Have a beautiful day!!
I took Relora but stopped. What really worked was sm
eliminating all the refined sugars and "white" carbs from my diet and beginning a sensible exercise program. I had my cortisol measured and it was through the roof. After adhering to this type of diet since last March, I have lost over 30 lb and have really gotten into exercise and am training for a 60 mile bike ride next month.
Hmmmm...they stopped with the stamps here

Yes, especially since my printer stopped talking to me.

believe me, outsourcing out of the country will be stopped soon. sm
Do you know how many U.S. doctors or clinics who contract with a US transcription co. who outsources actually know their patient's confidentiality records are leaving the country? ...very few. These docs are clueless, not by their own fault, but by the deceiving company who represents themself as a U.S. based co. (which may be true). However, they fail to "share the info. with the doc" informing them "by the way, we send your dictation to India". This info. IMO has just started to surface for access by physicians. If HIPAA passes the strict regulations on patient confidentiality, you don't think there's gonna be a big crack-down on this? U.S. MT's and honest US based transcription companies need to ride the bumps in the road now because things will get better for us. We are not talking about outsourcing work to China to sew shirts to bring back to the US dept. stores, we are talking about patient medical records. I was once a small MTSO, and I can say with 100% certainty, I would not take the legal chance of playing with patient medical records by sending them out of the country, not to mention taking jobs away from US MTs. If MTSOs were not outsourcing, our pay scale would go up and you could probably find better employees who were willing to work harder, thus reducing your costs for editing, etc.
I stopped by the office and everyone was way too polite.
The part where she cut off the clinical diagnosis and then typed "love your chest report, great work!" on it was what sent me into a spin.
the only reason I stopped doing local
accounts and tapes is because HIPAA came about and said that tapes being transported were in violation - so I went with a national - and now our information is going to Pakistan, India, Philipines - think we all felt safer with tapes.
I stopped using artificial anything years ago and
ANYTHING with artificial sweetner of any kind, no matter how far down on the label it is, makes me sick. I get sick to my stomach, get a headache and just feel horrible! I cannot convince any doctor of this and when I went to a bariatric specialist to loose weight he all but told me I was crazy. Even gave me samples knowing they had artificial sweetner in them, but didn't tell me that. I used them, got sick and took them back for a refund and never went back.
I HATE when people (such as grandparents, and well meaning parents) give my kids things with artificial sweetners in them. Especially when they know I am against it.
I live by one word now....MODERATION. If it says anywhere on it "sugar free" it goes back on the shelf. But they are getting better and better about hiding it. Its even hard to find a protein bar without it in it!!!
nevermind...stopped working again.

I stopped going to the doctor since our clinic
decided to outsource transcription services and lay off the entire department. I don't want my medical records leaving this state. If I do need medical care, I'll go to the ER or an independent physician. The problem is that nobody knows or understands what happens to their medical records.
Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.
I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.
So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.
Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.
I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary. How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu
call her by her first name. The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away.
I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated. Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie. :-)
But, as someone pointed out, to each his own. If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that. I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks." 
My number keypad stopped working
Number lock is on, but it backspaces every time I hit a number. The numbers on the regular keyboard work. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
This is of no help, but I stopped working anyplace that required me

Stopped getting work in the middle of Dec and found a new job.. however he
There are some who work locally to the office. Has anyone asked them if the office is open? I live in a different state. What a royal mess!
I stopped posting for the most part, because some S.A. always has something to say negatively about
I they don't like your post, why not just ignore it?
Why would you allow this to go on for five years? You should have stopped it a long time ago. nm

Had it and it worked okay but then suddenly stopped working
Found out every Transcriptionist using a C-phone had that problem. Magic Jack changed something one weekend about 1-1/2 to 2 months ago and it no longer works with a foot pedal.
I think they stopped hiring Canadian MTs last year. nm

Katrina has stopped 1 of the 2 oil/gas piplines from delivering to our state....sm
Right now they have no idea when it will be back up and they're warning everyone in Georgia about potential $3.00 and above for gas by the weekend as well as possible gas shortages. The governor and energy officials are working on trying to get emergency shipments from other sources.
I'm glad I have a full tank and work from home - hopefully I can ride this crisis out but I know others don't have the work at home luxury.
i stopped reading at the unwed pregnancy part
statistics have shown that teen pregnancy has gone down in the past 30 years. Most unwed pregnancies these days are by choice by grown women. In 1996 I was 25, wanted a child and was not married, so I made the decision to have a child on my own. Is that a bad thing? Now, I own my own home, my daughter wants for nothing and is a straight A student, and I am by no means rich or come from money. I work hard and have instilled good values in my daughter. I don't see that as any part of some explosion of bad behavior....sorry but I have to disagree with you. If you are offended by what you saw/heard/smelled that is fine but to judge these people as "bad", well that's for a higher power to decide, don't you think?
I stopped my HRT when studies showed it did not prevent osteoporosis. sm
I have osteoporosis. The govt halted a study on HRT as the women involved had more heart problems than those on the placebo. Too scary for me. In addition, my hair was falling out excessively. Since I have been off it, my hair is back to normal, but the flashes have come back. Even more repulsive to me was when I found out that the HRT I was on came from the urine of pregnant mares that were impregnated just to get the HRT ingredients, then the colts were destroyed. No way. There are over-the-counter remedies for hot flashes, but now they claim that black cohosh causes liver cirrhosis. So, I'm not taking anything. 
mine stopped doing that weeks ago. I believe the glitch is fixed. NM

I gave two weeks notice... but stopped doing their work FIRST
Since they refused to give me a raise after 7 years of loyal service to 3 doctors full-time, i gave me 2 weeks but didn't do their work in my 24-hour TAT window because I was SO p*ssed. I got it done "on my time" at that point. I have a hot head i can't help it... plus it was a huge slap in the face when not only they weren't giving me a raise, they expected my paychecks to decrease because they were mad they were paying for templates! we seriously were like a little family... that was three months ago and im STILL hurt about it...
Born again
I am a Christian, so I understand witnessing to others; nevertheless, I have to say that I don't agree with that approach, because I've seen it fail before - not with everyone - but for the most part, that stance ends up driving people away rather than drawing them. People don't want to hear someone tell them they're going to hell because they're doing this, that, or the other. Maybe they do need to hear that from somebody, but it still comes across as judgmental, and being judgmental is something that Christians are NOT to be. The old saying "you can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" applies here. He needs to understand that he can't force people to convert to Christianity just because he says all those things to them. Maybe you could suggest that he not come on so heavy, and instead try inviting people to visit his church, and leave it at that.
born again
Go to the bookstore. Buy him a book called "Jesus Freaks" (I am serious). He will love it. Then ask him about the book. Whether he is Buddhist, Christian, or atheist, it is always a great gift to have someone listen to your view. Americans view themselves as a Christian nation, and you just might learn something. keep an open mind, and stick to the subject of the book. Good luck and I hope the experience is a good one for both of you. The book is very interesting in the depth of human compassion and passion - no matter what your personal beliefs are.
I was born at 6:40 p.m. but am
definitely a morning person.

What is his age now and when was he born?

Used to be Tom Cruise but he stopped being irresistable when he became a lunatic. Lost all respect!
I do ER charts for East Jefferson, but of course those stopped yesterday, been worried about them nm

It is kind of scary. I stopped at 4:30 a.m. today because I figured I'd better sleep some. sm
At least the power of suggestion had me concerned...I seemed more productive though, got almost 2 times the lines in I would have otherwise, because I knew I had to get to sleep earlier. If everyone were like me though those overnight early morning stats would not meet TAT. But then again, an early grave might not be worth worrying about a couple of hours TAT after all...
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.
If you know the time of day you were born, sm
please tell us, and if you are a day person or a night person. I was born at 11:50 a.m., and am very much a night person. I don't seem "with it" until noonish every day.
I've always wondered if our birth time might be indicative of what hours we function best (or whatever hours we prefer to function).
Let's see!!!
