Local radio station is giving away American Idol concer tickets. sm
They're running a contest for 2 free tickets. With the entry, you have to list what you would be willing to do in exchange for these tickets. The best/most original idea will win the tickets. Any suggestions? It has to be something the person would really be willing to do. I really want these tickets!!
I just emailed Glenn Beck. Also sent to local radio station and CBS news. Now sending to my senato

In my town Walmart is the way to go...local grocery stores are outrageous!!! sm
There is no way to feed a family of five at any of the stores in our town! My grocery bill was cut in half when Walmart moved in!
Check your local police station, that'd be the place to look.
I bet they don't outsource that.....or do they? Interesting.
Try moving the radio to another area of the room--
so both electrical signals won't be crossing.
I sent this to all the local and some national talk radio stations. nm

I agree, they just played it on our local radio here. Also, General Honore..sm
I heard him being interviewed by CNN today and boy is he The Man In Charge. The authority of this man outstanding, he got the troops, the supplies, the convoys in there. Finally we're getting somewhere. I thikn he's going to be the "Rudy" of this tragedy.
look for a small local company in your area
I worked for a small company and although I did get paid by the line, I made way more than $16 an hour and could pretty much name my own hours to work. I did, however, have to pick up tapes!
Local AAMT chapters probably do it. Or put out an invite to those in your area. :) nm

Yes, call your local vet, any vet, and ask for the wild rabbit rescuer in your area.
There is always someone nearly everywhere. If you can't find one, please write me and I'll search for someone for you if you're short on time. They are so worth saving. Mom might still be around. Let's hope so!
Check around your local area for clinics or transcription companies
That's what I did. I first started out working for a very small MTSO and worked at their office for a couple of weeks and then they moved me home and I started working on a single speciality account. I'm still working for the office after 5 years (altough the MTSO closed her business).
Send letters to local offices marketing yourself. sm
Watch the want ads, and offer yourself as IC backup instead of FTs. It works!
As you pick up your accounts and back-up accounts, just do a good job and meet expectations or better.
The only drawback about your own accounts, it leaves little time to clock out and have your own life. If you can find someone else to work the accounts while you rake in the money, that is all the better.
Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

I have forwarded this to the Admin for a fast answer! (NM)

I don't think 14 CPL is outrageous, but...
being in Minnesota, it depends on what the going MTSO is there. Here on the West coast, the rate can go up as high as 14 CPL, but we are a high-priced area. I am betting 12 cpl is perfectly reasonable and a good compromise.
outrageous
I see job listings for experienced hospital MTs at 7 cpl subcontractor status. Ladies and gents, don't take it. I hope nobody applies for these jokes of a job.
Outrageous!
This really  ...how disgusting...and eye opening...I am livid!
Can anyone say OUTRAGEOUS! I can think of a pile of things better
on that crummy CMT exam that isn't going to amount to a hill of beans for anyone! Why do people keep taking it? The only people who benefit from it sit in the Modesto offices! Heck, they even rake in the dough off offshore MTs getting "certified." What a big bunch of HOOEY!
Already did. They are outrageous cost-wise
I have to pay $60 a month for LOCAL service only.They don't have DSL where I live. They keep saying they are going to get it here, but it's been 4 years since that statement was made..
Thanks for the suggestion, though. It seems that these companies think everybody lives in a progressive area and make a lot of money. I live in a rural area and the phone company has no interest in being #1 where I live. I have a choice of Comcast or Direct TV and that's it.
PA - Pittsburgh area is one locale, Philadelphia area also.
TriState area - PA, NJ, DE.
Good point. I've never done the Cobra because it was outrageous. I also did what you call a "b
overlapsed. I liked a cheap individual policy up ($7500 deducticle) before I lost my coverage..and kept the cheap policy until the new kicked in..
Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy. We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location.
I went local. Great local tech support, they know what I do and were able to set it up just for me
:)
ARGH.. Have you gone to the gas station lately
or to the grocery store. Do you have a clue what your utilities are going to be this coming winter and WORK FOR LESS. YOU ARE BONKERS
It's slow everywhere right now. But, we have to man the station.

Lanier station
not sure where to post this, but I have a complete Lanier 219 station that I am going to sell. Any offers will be considered.
Went to the Prometric Testing Station
I took my CMT exam yesterday. It took almost 4 hours and was one of the hardest tests I've ever taken. The test gets all done and it just says that you've "passed" and will be getting your certificate and pin "in the mail." Couldn't they have the screen show a display of fireworks or flash "CMT, CMT...." at you.
And I really want to know what I scored. I know they can't give me the answers to particular questions because other people will be taking the test, but at least give me a number so I know if I'm really good or just okay. I'm obsessive that way I guess. I've been looking up everything I was unsure of, and I've only found one question I missed for sure, but I know there are stupid mistakes. And I know I'll be waking up at night in a cold sweat remembering something else I need to look up. Okay, I've finally gone nuts. 
Lanier Remote Station
Can anyone send me instructions on how to program an older Lanier remote transcription system? I think it is an LX-128? I just don't remember. I took my out of the closet to see if it works and have lost my instructions. Everything is all plugged in and works. HOwever, I get a double tone and not a dial tone. I remember having to program it but it has been sooooooo long ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Pumping gas at full service station sm
I did this to put myself through college for my associate's degree. It was horrible in the middle of winter - kept me focused on my studies however.
Call the news station in your location
who handles this sort of complaint. Once you contact the media, you will be paid immediately. Good Luck!!!
Go to the police station and they can look him up and tell you who is parole officer is. nm

I just did my part - sent it to nearby news station.

Philips Transcription Station and Vonage
Years ago, I used a Philips Digital Transcription Station to get my MT work. It would plug into my landline jack and then I could dial in to get the jobs to transcribe. This week, the machine has returned since I am trying to help out someone with their work. Unfortunately, I no longer have a landline. I switched to Vonage over the summer. When I try to connect, it dials the phone number, I hear the computer voice that tells me to enter my ID # and then when I do that it is supposed to validate my number and show me the available jobs. It starts the validating process but then times out and hangs me up. Has anyone had problems like this and if so have you been able to fix it.....help please!!!
Lanier station with Comcast Digital
I have used this for quite some time with no problems. I have also used a C-phone and Voice Solutions Digital Workstation with Comcast and it works just fine. The only thing you may have a problem with is having dictation cut out periodically or what sounds like "choppy" dictation (and this occurs VERY rarely) and all you have to do is disconnect the phone lines and power from the back of the device you are using, wait a few minutes and plug back in and it should work. Other than that, NO problems!
Voice Solutions DA-128 transcribe station help
Anyone know how to set the M1, M2, and M3 phone number memory buttons on this? Thanks!
Lanier station w/Comcast digital voice
Will this work? A couple of years ago I tried a Lanier with Vonage and it didn't. I don't want to go through the setup trouble only to be disappointed again. I really need more minutes than my 5000 per month with Qwest. Has the technology changed to make the Lanier compatible with internet phone service? Thanks if you can help me. 
Need Lanier ExWriter to test. Will VDI station or C-phone work or can I rerecord?
I am unfamiliar with the Lanier ExWriter. Can somebody please fill me in? I have a C-phone, VDI station, a call-in system with L.E.E.C.H. capabilities that can download work onto my system from another, or rerecord equipment. Can you access files from call-in systems like you can with a regular telephone and C-phone? How is the sound quality? I am not to thrilled with the .dss or WAV files.
Thanks!
I have used a Digital Transcribe Station from Transcription Gear in lieu of a C phone just fine nm
radio
My treadmill is still buried, but it is also a resolution of mine. :)
Ask hubby if he will wear a headset. Unlikely, I know. I wouldn't want to. Does his radio have an antennae? or is it hooked into cable. Ours, once hooked into cable, got way less static. Best of luck!!
Sorry should have said he was on radio
here and every now and then has a television special. Great guy!
Why? No different than a radio or any other

Radio Shack
I have 3 pedals hooked up and needed another serial port. Radio Shack has the adapter you plug into your USB for about 20.00. Worked like a charm. The only tricky part is finding the right port listed in the program you are using.
Listen to him on radio
I sometimes listen to him while doing my late afternoon pick-up and deliveries on the radio. I have also found out that a lot of time giving praise and appreciation to them when they do the job -- even though it is not to our satisfaction or as well as we can --gives them incentive to do more. We don't like to be cut down all the time and have to re-do and so even though it may not be up to my standards I try to let the kids know that I appreciate it -- unless of course they have done a poor job on purpose -- another subject.
Radio Shack
They sell a very inexpensive adapter for serial and/or game port to USB. Mine works fine with Dictaphone EXText, eScription EditScript, etc. I think I paid $10 for it at a local store.
You can search radio shack online and see if your local store has them in stock or can get them. many many new computers are going to exclusively USB ports, no more serial or parallel
radio shack has it all.

Might try Radio Shack. n,
