Haven't tried the rhubarb, but I also saw dandelion. sm
They do a lot of different wines, but since I like sweet wines, I love their wines.
sounds old, does not mean it is not true
This same reply is also old! There is no way to really know if it is true or not, has nothing to do with cutting it on SR. For those of you having good experience with SR, good. That does not mean others are having the same experience. Being a tier 3 with 98 or above accuracy, know my skills. Trying to make others sound inferior is also old. SR that I get has my hands working very hard to make all of the many corrections usually required, have only had a very, very few that did not need many corrections, whole sentences left out, words that don't even begin to sound like what was dictated, wrong lab values, wrong medications, etc. That is my experience, yours is different and I am not putting you down for it, you don't know what I receive and cannot therefore make a judgment on it,

So true, LOVE
You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be
just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't
like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
I love your last statement... so true...
I also have a lengthy history, but what interested me the most is your learning at your mother's knee. My daughter is doing a typing program at school and she is almost at the part where she begins transcription. She is in 3rd grade. She had to earn so many apples for speed, and now she will begin transcribing voices in probably a week or two. So, she will know the basic idea of using a start/stop method of listening and typing in 3rd grade.
Crazy question... does Express Scribe actually convert audio to text? Sounds too good to be true..
It does state this on their web site. I was curious if anyone has used this option, and if so, does it really work?
Thanks again~
Sounds great. Hope you love it! (nm)

That sounds so nice. I'd love to live the simple life again. nm

wine
I'm not a Transcriptionist yet (still a student, but OLD hehe), my feelings are there's nothing wrong with the occasional glass of wine. I'd drink it, but I haven't found a wine I like enough for a 2nd glass. I occasionally have a bit stiffer drink, but once I start working I won't drink 'my' drinks, since they not only relax me, they send to to sleepy-land. I know several professionals (in other fields) that have a glass of wine when dictating, making notes, preparing briefs, etc. Its not unheard of. My feeling is, as long as the limitations are noted and observed what's the harm? IF it affects your work, time to knock it off.
Hopefully, we're all adults and able to make reasonable judgments on this subject.
(did I sound nice enough? that was my goal!! LOL)
WINE
I agree that we shouldn't judge others. Sometimes I need a drink while working, but unfortunately I would fall asleep with one small glass of wine. I do however know an MT who drinks a lot while working.....I mean a lot...(she has a problem sadly), but the fact remains that even then she is a better MT than most I know. So I guess everybody's different. Wine is good for the nerves and the STESS LEVEL....
are you having wine with dinner?
just curious but your posts are not making much sense. not that there's anything wrong with wine with dinner, it's just maybe not so wise to post on MT boards when you are so "relaxed".
Beef in Wine
Brown roast.
In separate pot cook two onions, two cloves garlic, two stalks celery,chopped, two carrots, in butter until soft. Add to meat. Mix 2 cups of tomato puree and 2 cups red wine. Add a tablespoon of salt, 10 whole peppercorns, 2 bay leaves. Cook on top of stove until tender, about 3 to 4 hours. Do the day before. The next day clean up the meat and slice it. Serve over noodles. It is delicious.
Glass of wine
I did not mean to start a war. I know the difference between a glass of wine and a "problem with drinking" as my father was an alcoholic as well as ex-husband. And just to let you know the open bottle that I opened Sunday evening for my glass is still in the wine case/holder with one glass missing. I will probably have to throw it out as I usually have one glass and forget that it is there to finish it. Would not make a good alcoholic as I forget to continue to drink -- just my one beer or one glass of wine every couple of weeks. Also, I usually wait until I am very near completion of my work before I "pop" the cork. But again, did not mean to start a war.
Glass of wine
Patti, unfortunately on this board lately, anything can start a war.
Like you, I sometimes start sipping a glass the last 30-60 mins. of my shift - about once a month. Ignore the hostile postings - some of these people read 2 words, take it out of context, and post in response to things that weren't even said.
Personally, I'm glad you posted because I felt a little guilty about sipping an ounce or 2 while working - I grew up in an alcohol-free home, but I certainly saw what alcoholism did to some of my friends' families.
Add cheeseburgers and wine to the menu! nm

A glass of wine with typing
A while back there were several messages when someone made a halfway joke about drinking and I never answered but I do have to admit that when I sometimes have to work on Sunday nights or some late evenings I do sip on a glass of wine while typing, not an entire bottle but a glass of wine. Just thought I would not comment on it as several people were shocked that anyone would even consider it. Not all the time but occasionally and in moderation.
That is my Sunday comment.
If an MT drinks a whole bottle of wine while...
working, there is NO WAY that can't have any affect. Yikes!  There she.he goes now! 
Opening up Pandora's box of wine
Hey Patti, it's ok to talk about drinking and transcribing. People react strongly because it hits a raw nerve. It's a topic that is kept in the dark. I suspect many transcriptionists do and have drank at the desk. I myself have had a small glass of wine on occasion when I have been so stressed out, like when I have been given a 30-day notice that my work is going to India! Or my foreign-accented dictator yells at me for something stupid! I venture to say that perhaps more transcriptionists have a glass or two of liquor toward the end of their shift than they would care to admit. I just think you got such a response because it is a topic most transcriptionists have thought about in one way or another. I'm not saying it is ok or it is morally wrong. It does happen though.
No bible? No wine? Wait......
I, for one, choose death!
sean connary, chocolate, white wine
that would be perfect.
Paula Deen's Chicken with Wine Sauce. nm

Chicken In Wine Sauce (Easy and Quick)
Melt about 6 TBLSP butter in skillet. Sprinkle boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic salt and any other seasonings that you like, dust in flour and brown in butter for about 5 minutes or so, just till a little brown (to your liking). Put together 1/2 cup white cooking wine, 2 teaspoons roasted chopped garlic (I buy it already chopped), 2 TBLSP lemon juice (I use bottled Real Lemon), and 2 TBLSP dried parsley. Fresh is good too but I just never have it around. Dump this on the chicken in the skillet and put a lid on it and simmer for 6 minutes. Throw a bag of precooked microwave rice in the microwave, plop some on the plate, put the chicken on top and spoon some sauce over it. Very tasty and ready in less than 30 minutes. My kind of dinner !!! If you use more than about 4 pieces of chicken breast increase the butter to 8 TBLSP. I am sure that Parkay (or whatever) would work just as well but I use butter and be done with it. I usually have broccoli or some other green veggie and a salad with it. I use my Breadman a lot so I usually have hot rolls as well.
Onion soup mix, 1/2 cup Madiera wine, carrots, potatoes.
Cook roast slowly (325 for about 3 hours, add the potatoes and carrots, cook another hour, and serve.
Or just slice onions on top the roast, add about 1/2 cup water, put in covered dutch oven, cook same as above, adding potatoes and carrots.
How about grilled fish like salmon? Add a glass of wine and you're all set!

Office lunches come to mind, the whole crew would have a glass of wine
We managed to get through the Friday afternoon following the glass of wine. It's holiday time, birthday time, retirement time. Rare - RARE - occasions. I remember the doctors have a very very slight slur LOL. I probably lost a keystroke or two on my speed. The nurses were happier that usual. The secretaries laughed for a change. It's all good.
My family's not into hard liquor. Beer on one side and wine on the other.
Ugh. I only "like" to drink alcohol maybe once a month.
The blackberry wine made by Amana Colonies is really good, too. sm
I have two bottles now in the frig. It don't take much, either, to anesthetize the pain.

Merlot, white zin, chardonnay, sometimes daily 1 wine glass with din-din. Maybe 2 if I am thirsty
No alcoholic tendencies.
Any plans for Mother's Day? Hubby is taking me on a wine & dinner train ride.

LOL! Sounds like old I Love Lucy! Lucy does

Thank you ghost! So true! So true! More than one person!

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing
in your spa goodies. Congrats!
love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

ROFL!! true, so true! nm

true, true but out of about 90 flicks....1 or 2...nm
true, true - but what you see as arrogance...sm
I think a lot of people go the extreme -
so, if I had to be one way or the other (being a humble extremist myself...*LOL*), I'd rather have too much self-esteem than not enough (been there, done that the first 30 years!!! *L*). And I am a truly humble person, been recognized for just that.....but because of *been there, done that* - and all sorts of therapies (not drug therapies), some end up the other way. Oh well, this was a fun couple of posts - so I thought.
Gave me much to chew on :) Have fun! 
True but to say there are no good MTs not true.
asdf
ROFLMAO!!!! so true! so true!
Everybody sees it but her, though! I love it! Thanks for the giggle! ":^)
I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake
Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too. It's a real turn on.
I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.
Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
I went back in house and love it. I love not being
secluded. I was working in my PJs, less organized and feel much better now that I get up and dress for work and see people (even those in traffic aren't so bad anymore). I find that I have more of a life now, and my family says that I spend more time with them now.
Working at home served its purpose for a long time; I was ready to go out into the world again now that I have no little ones at home.
BD WONG! I love him! I love all CSI and Law and Orders!
I am so addicted. I actually schedule my job and family around the shows LOL.
Love love love my chair
The arms can be lowered so they won't be in your way, I don't know about the tilt limiter. But I bought my off ebay about 6 years ago and can't do without it. No I do not think you can find another chair that even compares to the aeron, changed my working life completely, no sore back or butt. You won't regret it, but you will if you go for a cheap imitation.
LOL. I love it. I also love the song sm
I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. Miss the Happy Goodmans!
Repeat after me: I love my job, I love my job. :) nm
