cutter. I do think that everyone has the right to make the choice whether to eat meat or not. Some days I want meat really bad, and other days I can do without it. I'm glad that I live in a country where I can make the choice for myself and everyone else can make their own choice, too.

Thank you! Glad your husband was properly dx'ed.

I agree. Still eats like a pig, fat as a pig, but
brags how much weight she lost? Obviously Curves does nothing to teach you the proper foods to eat or proper quantities, does it? Face it, you must have just purchased stock in the company and want new members to join it. I do not believe a word you say.
Even the man who weighed 550+ pounds and is walking across country which is a lot of exercise, has only lost 50 pounds in 10 weeks.
You are not losing 5 pounds a week eating a handful of doughnuts and a half a gallon of milk every morning, and stuffing your fat, ugly face with everything else during the rest of the day.
No, she only eats chicken... that died from old age... LOL
Hypocrite?!
Yes, it eats the brain and body alive trying to get back to your lines that you did on the old
platforms. After while you just disintegrate in a little heap.
QA lady don't read books like Eats Shoots & Leaves, obviously
this is a great read for those of us who are "Punctuation Sticklers"!
Ask QA if she if anal- retentive is spelled with a hyphen! (This is the true test of a QA person).
A friend of mine puts her fork in and twists the kernals on it and then eats it.
It's not as messy this way.
wrist supports
Does anyone recommend a certain kind of wrist support to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome? It looks like there are so many to choose from.
I wear wrist supports,
and with the wrist rest attached it puts my fingers/hands/wrists at an angle that isn't comfortable for me.
wrist supports like crafters
use, i.e. women who do a lot of crochet work have some elastic stretch wrist supports. I used them once when I was pretty new to typing 8 hours at a time when my hand muscles were weak and my fingers had a mind of their own. I haven't used them for years, but I did like them. I thought to try these out http://www.scriphessco.com/itemdetail.asp?cat=313106&MENU=313106&item=705+0002 Also note that pain in the hands can be caused by pressure on the ulnar nerve (right under the elbow at the forearm) eventually, which can be relieved by using a down-feather filled pad you can make yourself (not goose feather, but actual goose down). I know one gal who had her ulnar surgical relocated.
There are other things to look out for, like pain in the hips, lower back, neck, shoulders, ....
Keep track of me via E-mail if you like.
There are various forms of back supports
you can purchase for your chair, or check with your physician for chair types.
slinging insults supports her theory
you know. The OP made some plausible, even if offensive, statements. However, I am ashamed at your comment and even more offended by it.
Spellex already supports Office 2007
I just recently got a new computer and it came preloaded with Vista and Office 2007. I went to Spellex's website and they had the Office 2007 version already available and I believe it was $40 for the upgrade for current customers. Hope this helps :)!!
Punjab is in India - she supports outsourcing. nm

Anon, I notice you are very critical to anyone who supports SS or the other
done anything personal to you or are you just stirring the pot?
Are the $30 lumbar supports from Office Depot

The CMT supports offshoring of American jobs.
.
Make sure the platform you are transcribing in supports these, many these days
do not.
I would like to hear about personal experiences with lumbar supports

DH is dear husband or any number of colorful adjectives preceding husband. (no message)

I will never work for another company that supports offshoring to overseas countries
As posted above, I have worked for a foreign company. The company had some US MTs working for them and IMO, they were using us to cover up. I think we should personally stick together and stop the nonsense of our US reports going overseas. I do have one question for those who support the Indian companies and any company that offshore overseas...where is your medical information going? Have you thought for one minute that maybe your own SSN and address, etc, might be going overseas?
Eat less meat or no meat
Lots of beans, tofu shakes, whole-grain cereals, rice and breads, green and other veggies. Meat is expensive, especially if you're feeding several. Cut back on carbonated drinks, also not good for you..
meat is not for me
I have been a vegetarian since 1979. I did it for ethical reasons and because I dont eat anything that had a face. The smell and look of meat makes me sick to my stomach.
meat
Not sure about the changes to the factory farming, but the changes most anti-factory farming people want is to get people to eliminate meat from their diet, thus ending the need for these farms. Each person doing their small part, makes a big difference in the long run. I was a big carnivore, cannot believe I am a vegitarian now, still lots and lots of food to eat, a little limited when dining out, but not really, even the restaurants are catering to the vegitarians more and more each day. Give it a try, you won't regret it.
Meat in your diet?
That is a misconception that we need meat in our diets, we do not need meat at all, there are many other sources of protein out there to substitute for the meat, please go to the many vegitarian sites for more information.
it is not wrong to eat meat
and that comes from God's own word. It is not unhealthy either, done in moderation. Our ways of growing or cooking the meat may be unhealthy, no doubt esp combined with lack of exercise. and yes, it is wrong to be cruel to animals. Much of our problem is based on mass production, which is now the 'norm'. We have all but eliminated the small farms in favor of this mass production. Small farms don't need to have cesspools of waste, they don't stink and the animals live a natural pleasant life as intended. But when we go to using feedlots, and finish the beef out, for example, with grain, which is unnatural to their digestive system (starting the grain has to be done methodically and gradually or it kills them), we create different physical reactions in the meat which I believe has caused ill health in humans (along with the unnecessary vetting). Yes, the chicken farms and slaughter houses etc are managed terribly, nasty and mostly with inhumane operations. How to avoid this and still eat meat? Seek out those who raise range-fed chickens (a natural environment), or raise beef that are not given growth hormones or unnecessary routine antibiotics. You will never have mad cow disease for example on purely grass-fed beef. These growers are around. I have a nephew in MO who offers this alternative. We ourselves used to offer such in the way of chicken -- these "natural farmers" generally struggle to make a living, but if you want healthy meat, want an alternative to mass production, seek them out.
Yuck, I don't eat red meat, but (sm)
do eat some chicken for more protein. Also eat lots of fruit with cottage cheese and lots of green, leafy vegetables. Also, a way to get more protein is nuts, like cashews or almonds and feta cheese with your salads.
For lunch today is pasta with some cheese biscuits with garlic salt, also a green salad with feta cheese. Melons with cottage cheese for a snack. No meat at all and I don't miss it! You get used to it. 
meat loaf
Next time you make meat loaf, make it your regular way, put half mixture in loaf pan, take a can of green chilies....put pieces of pepper-jack cheese in each chile and close them. Add top layer of mixture, cook as you usually do. You'll love it!
And, the meat in the grocery store comes
I believe that if you buy "beef" it comes from cows, an animal. I believe if you buy "chicken" it comes from chickens, an animal.
first was no meat, then vegetarian, now trying vegan...
although, I am not obsessive about it all...
no animal has to suffer for me.
I do have to cook meat for my boyfriend, but as I said I am not a fanatic. I try to buy local meat and use chickens (and eggs) that are not from electric cages, or that have not been fed steroids, antibiotics, etc.
Imitation crab meat.
I know, I know - yuck, but hey, I'm a guy. I don't know how to cook!
ditto. too much water boils the meat.
read recipes for crock pots.
I'm a vegetarian so not buying meat saves,
but also, the more *fixed* food is, the more expensive it is - for example, if I want soup, I buy the ingredients and make it myself, plus it tastes better and isn't loaded with garbage I don't need like salt and fat.
I don't buy extras - candles have been out for a long time - I have a few in case of power failure, but nothing fancy. I don't have a cell phone, or anything other than basic TV. I buy clothes at thrift stores (which is actually a lot of fun), and I never hang out at malls - impulse buying is out.
Get an extra plastic bottle and pour half your shampoo into it, then fill with water. Most people use way too much shampoo, conditioner, etc - dilute w/water - does the same job and lasts way longer.
If you will search around the web with Google, you can come up with hundreds of ways to save money - most of us buy stuff we don't need simply because we are lazy or we think our every desire needs to be gratified.
It's mostly just excess baggage; it is amazing how good it feels to not need *stuff* to feel good.
the potpourri idea is fabulous!!, plus don't forget the wonderful scent of herbs you can grow yourself to mix with the cinnamon, etc.
Good luck and have fun!
oops! meant meat cutter.

Stove Top Dressing Meat loaf
with home made smashed potatoes, gravy and brussel sprouts....tomorrow night, sketti and meatballs, made with the extra Stove Top mixture.
And where exactly do you think that the meat in the grocery store comes from?? ANIMALS!

Meat cooking is harder, IMHO
Remebering my childhood as an animal eater, I think it is harder cooking for meat eaters and way more expensive than vegetarian foods.
Try the meat baby foods by Gerber.

That is making ends meet, not meat by the way.

I totally understand but if your husband is like my husband... sm
When it comes to something like that, that I usually take care of but for whatever reason I can't, I will tell my husband exactly what to do, but when he comes back - to use your case as a "for instance" - I will ask him, "Did the doctor look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "Did you ask the doctor to look at his foot?"
Him: "No."
Me: "I told you to have the doctor look at his foot!"
Him: (shrug)
etc., etc., etc.
Your husband may not be like that - I sure hope he isn't. And yes, they should have checked his vitals and checked his foot without being asked. But sometimes you have to be assertive with people. And while my husband attained the rank of major in the Air Force and had no trouble ordering people around, there are times when he should be assertive but isn't. And he is not intimidated by doctors - he started his AF career as an x-ray tech (that's how we met). I dunno....(Rad MT wanders off, mumbling....)
Orchiette, home-made meat sauce, salad, YUM!
No flame from me.....
I agree. Kids need to learn to seek out the proper people on their own, with guidance of course. If the parents only allows controlled hand picked social contacts, how do you learn that skill? People who homeschool for religious reasons are the worst for this. They only let their kids associated with like-minded people. Unfortunately the world isn't like that. I believe that the way to raise well-rounded children is to give them plenty of attention and supervision at home, train them about morals and make your expectations clear. Then as they grow, they venture forth a little more as they get older, slowly separating from being under the parental wing. I think teenagers need a parent in the home almost more than little ones,and that is why I work at home. A good education can be had in almost any school. It's there for the taking. The real world doesn't cater to you, your needs, your desires, or your preferences. A full-time job isn't finished in 3 hours (like the abbreviated day many homeschoolers boast about). It's about being there on time, sticking to it even though you may not feel like it, and getting along with people you may not care for, and avoiding those who are not good for you. Just my 2 cents.
Please do not take this as a flame, but
talking about 65-character count lines, and I believe hospital transcription. If I am not mistaken, you have said before that you count gross lines and clinic transcription, which is a whole different ball game. I too transcribe clinic dictation and count gross lines, and would much rather do this as it is much easier to produce and make money in this environment.
No flame taken
I have often tipped my hat to these guys, was just trying to put a little humor into things today. I took one road and they took the other. Have done the hosptital, teaching hospital and realize the complexity of it. But I have worked hard to get my accounts and keep them also.
Flame
What does the really (looks like a yellow flame) mean by the postings?
A flame happens
after a post has been looked at a certain number of times. I has nothing to do with the types of responses you get to your post. It's all about the number.
No flame here...
You should file a complaint with Animal Control in your county, even if you already filed with the police. Animal control can give summons (tickets), and also can get you a court date. I forgot what kind of court it is, but it deals with animals and trashy yards (environmental). If your hands and wrists are sore, you should tell the judge you couldn't type as fast and you work on production.
You should get some sort of compensation. The leash law is in place for a reason (your attack for example), and it doesn't matter if the owner is right there on their own property with their dog. If the owner could not restrain his dog, then the leash law was broken. I know this because I live in the country and my beagle was doing his business in my yard by my garage and Animal Control happened to drive by and stopped (what luck!). The officer said that I must have my dog on a leash, even though there wasn't another house in sight, and the beagle was too old and lazy to run anywhere!
I really feel for you; this should not be allowed to happen! You could also have been bitten. You need to report it to Animal Control so it doesn't happen to someone else! Animal Control is serious about enforcing the leash law. Good Luck!
What is the FLAME?
What does it mean when there is a flame next to your post?
Flame
What does it mean when messages have a yellow flame at the beginning of a message? At first I thought it was because there were so many added posts after the first post, but I posted a message yesterday that I got no answers to, and this morning there is a flame in front of my post. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks.
