Parental dilemma...sm
I am looking for some parenting advice. My daughter is 8 years old and one of her friend's father died this weekend. The school counselor went in to speak to her class today to let the children know that this child had lost a parent. She then sent home letters with information regarding funeral services and some info on how to talk to your children, etc. Anyway...my daughter wants to go to the funeral in the morning and I have no idea on whether I should take her or not. Neither my husband nor I knew either parents of this child. My daughter was a "new" kid last year and this little girl has been a good friend since we have been here and my daughter is very fond of her. I told my daughter I would think about it tonight and let her know in the morning and I have no clue what to do. I feel uncomfortable going to a funeral where I have only met the mother of this child once (at a birthday party) and my daughter has had no real experience with death. The only thing she has had to deal with is the death of a pet. I talked to her about the funeral and what it was, including people being upset, and of course a casket, and what that was, and she still wants to go. Does anyone have any experiences like this...or is just plain willing to give me an opinion?
Parental control with internet
Does anyone know of a program or how to go about finding a program that works like the Apple computer parental settings for a PC. How I would love to turn this PC in for an Apple computer!!!! but alas - I have to work on this PC!
The Apple parental control works like this. If the kids want to get on a specific site, I have to authorize it with my initials and my password. Once I allow it, they can go to that site any time but cannot go to any site that I have not allowed. It works great for my kids but sometimes it is easier for them to jump on the internet on my computer because I'm already connected (like on my lunch break) and my son has asked me to take control so that he cannot get to things he is not supposed to! He is 13 and when he asked me to do this - I was really proud of him that he has the desire to resist temptation!!
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also remember this is my work computer (it is my personal computer) so I have to be able to do research as well.
Sorry you didn't have the privilege sm
of working in this time and seeing how good it really could be!
Norton Internet Security has a parental control
which will give you a site list that you can add to, for example neopets.com or barbie.com. I know McAfee has a feature where you can set up windows of time where she can be on only say, between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. M-F. I think even Windows XP has parental control where you can download approved lists, etc. Keep in mind though that if you use a "screening" program, there's a lot of stuff that can get through, such as wet t-shirt parties, etc. Probably not a problem with your daughter but can be with boyz. And I just say no to IM.
Next they will charge you for the privilege of editing reports
This rate is an insult to even a newbie. What trashy companies are out there now? I hope management took a 75% paycut when they went to this program, as well. It sounds like they are totally unqualified to run a business.
Need Guidance...

Hello Everyone,
I am not an MT student, but I have only been a Transcriptionist for 1.5 years. I am looking for some guidance and was hoping someone could help me. I am looking for ways to become more productive. I have Instant Text and it is helping big time, but I think my editing slows me down. Any tips on editing would be greatly appreciated or any tips at all. I like this profession, but I am becoming discouraged because I can not produce 1000 lines per day. It seems impossible unless I work all day and all night. So, if you have any advice please post it to me or email me please. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Nissalou |

guidance
I think you can learn just as much in long distance learning unless you are the type of person who prefers classroom learning where someone is there to ask questions.
I will say it was VERY difficult for me to get started in medical transcription. I thought I would never find that first job. I did eventually and I like the flexibility of working at home as a medical transcriptionist.
A lot of girls growing up with privilege like she had turned skank.
If your definition of skank is a female who is openly promiscuous with no regard for others, low morals, and is proud of it, there are a lot of them. Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchey, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson (claims to be a religious girl -yeah right), Jenna Jamison, etc...there are a lot of them out there.
A lot of people who grew up without privilege ended up skanks too
Money or lack of money has nothing to do with it. It's whether the person has any value system, lines they will not cross, and standards set for themselves regardless of financial status.
I was looking for internet, but thank you for the help and guidance!!!
one would think offering expertise and guidance
You'd be not only happy, but FLATTERED to be asked questions. Newbies should be admired for asking questions and encouraged to do so, rather than putting whatever they want. There are times when you search, and search and search, not finding, but having two sets ears especially one with more experience is always better than one set. Stop being grumpy already. geez.
Go to counseling and get guidance and structure.
It CAN work if he earns back your trust and is truly sorry. Counseling can help guide you through this process. It is truly worth a try. What have you got to lose? Good luck to you! :-)
Believe me, you are neither weak or small.
You are a very strong lady who simply wants the best for her family (including an abusive husband). You are the only one who can make the choice to stay or leave and it has to be your choice entirely. We can all give advice all day long, but the ultimate decision will be yours. We are here to listen, though, and to pray in your behalf for wisdom to make the right choice. Whatever you decide, don't ever forget that when it seems like you're all alone, God is always with you, leading and guiding.
I don't agree about Kat. I think she is weak. nm

I stay with my NOT DH because I'm a weak woman who's
son's head and food to eat and clothes to wear--in a nutshell.
I agree that it's weak this season...sm
and if Katharine wins I'm going to need a barf bag. I can't imagine she'd sell records to anyone other than the guys who want to look at the picture of a pretty girl. She always looks so stuck-up and stuck on herself and my fiance and I still think that someone in her family line made Simon & Randy apologize to her when they did 3 weeks ago. I hope Taylor wins but doubt I'd buy anything he'd record either.
In order to keep the voting fair they really should make it 1 vote per phone number - that way we'd know who really was liked by the public and not who had the most people using the automated programs to vote hundreds of times for them.
Need advise/guidance from experienced MTSOs. See inside.
I am an MTSO currently using a call in system for docs to dictate. The transcriptionists also use the call in system to access their work and the call in system is becoming rather congested. Want to save the call in system for the docs and put the transcriptionists on the internet. Can someone give me advice/guidance on how to go about this? Thank you in advance.
It wasn't just a kid issue to start. He is a weak minded

Supervisors are a token figure-head for the weak-minded
who need guidance and approval. Why would anyone keep anybody who needed constant help on doing their job employed. I know my job and what is required. No one at this point in time can really advise me on what to do although as NEW supervisors come and go, they do give it a shot in order to justify their jobs. But they come and go and I stay. Buy a clue.
what helped me
I had to stay away from situations or places where I tended to smoke.
I know you cannot quit work just to quit smoking but maybe rearranging your home office/work area could help.
I also agree with finding a substitute. For me, it was the holding of the cigarette, not the oral contact, that was a tough one. I need to have something to do with my hands - try a stress ball if you find your hands feel empty during your breaks.
I quit in 1997 and still crave a cigarette from time to time but the feeling passes quickly. The first 4 years were really difficult, though. Good luck.
Thank you to everyone below who helped (sm)
me with the PTO question. I got an answer so am a happy camper again
YOU HELPED ME FIX IT!!!! sm
THANK YOU SO MUCH! You helped me figure it out...I knew I needed to change something with the field codes but could not find it!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Something good will happen to you for helping me!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you to all who helped me!

HAVE YOU BEEN HELPED?
Yes, it helped!!! Thanks so much. nm

Me too. She always helped me when
I was helping out on OPs! Now I do them quite a bit, but still need some help here and there!
helped me a lot
I thought the book was very helpful. I think it increased my speed at least by half. For me, it was a worthwhile investment.
I did try all that and it helped some sm
and it definitely made my computer speed up but the dragging is still there.
It's about time someone helped US out
nm
You believe the people being helped are the same ones...
shooting, raping, etc.??? Perhaps some are, but the majority are ordinary working people, and probably some who aren't working. So what? They are human beings and deserve to be treated decently. Who are you to judge that they aren't worthy of help???
As others have mentioned, I hope when you need help you are able to get it. What a despicable attitude. I feel sorry for you.
Thanks for your tips, they helped! NM

Yes, thanks a lot - helped greatly!! NM

I wanted to thank everyone who helped below
about DHs red blotches. He is feeling fine this morning. I did tell him the signs of anaphylaxis and to go to the ER if he has any of those symptoms. We may never know what caused those blotches. Thanks again!!! You all rock!
Thanks. A different speaker helped--
Thanks so much. But, it is the sound quality from my company, it is just bad. They have the good system and then a bad system, is how I interpret it. When it is coming from the bad part, it is bad. That's what I think. Don't know, though. Changing speakers helped, and I did not think of that, so thanks so much.
Yes - it helped w/abbreviations, etc.
I think it helps to broaden your knowledge of certain standards if you're job hunting, even if you've never used them. For example, you won't be surprised when you get a different job or client and someone chews you out about starting a sentence as "27-year-old patient comes in today" (versus "This 27-year-old..." or "Twenty-seven-year-old..."). JMHO and IME
I finally helped someone. Yea!! (nm)
natural products helped me - sm
I feel for you. Different story, (though same in that tubes tied, PMS-crazy 10 out of 30 day each month, teens) but maybe this might help you. I could not opt for hormone tx (diabetic)after hysterectomy (for other changes in cycle; light, then very heavy, then not there) and opted for surgery when fibroids were found.)Immediate surgical menopause resulted in symptoms even though before this my FSH and estradiol levels came back I was not peri.
Researched websites and found natural progesterone cream (bought at local health store)helped me a lot, but wound up on Lexapro (calming) too. Taken together, this was the optimum fix for me.
A mouth guard helped me
Good luck.
Split shift helped me a LOT! Was
getting very painful to type eight hours straight. It has helped to the point where I barely realize any pain anymore. Also, I can seem to go "great guns" the first hour or two of my shift, and then slow down some after that. This way, with split shift, I have two sets of "two hours" of gungho, at least as gungho as I can get...LOL.
I wanted to thank the person that helped me. sm
That Turtle Beach Audio Advantage is really the ticket. I can't believe I was living with such bad sound quality for so long. THANKS SO MUCH! This is really helping immensely.
I'm happy my post helped you....sm
and I NEVER lie!! It's the truth!! My only thing today is I don't want to go back out there and re-solicit (I still work for the BIG national part time for now but the day I leave there, I'm hitting the streets again...*LOL*)
Best of luck!!! You'll do fine!!! Meeting them all in person to me, where they can see your face, what you emanate in public, one's honesty and directness...I believe the doctors ALL like this!! And if the office is busy and they cannot see you or interview you, you come back another time - made an appointment. *S*
Thank you everyone for the input. It helped with my decision.
I have been feeling quite used for years by her, but have been putting up with it because she IS family. My mom did tell me years ago that she hates cooking holiday meals, so she has basically invited herself every year since 1999. We do always have a good time, but I do nearly all the cooking and cleaning up. Sometimes she and her husband show up in time to eat, gather the leftovers, and leave. I go all out for holiday dinners too. I have decided NO more. We cannot be used unless we allow ourselves to be a doormat. Thank you for telling me what I needed to hear, especially those of you who have also dealt with this.
yes, and I found it really helped for awhile sm
then I hit some life situations where I just could not cope. My doctor put me on Lexapro, and it was a life saver. If your depression is mild, 5HTP is a really good start. St. John's Wort barely took the edge off for me, but the 5HTP was quite good.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED ON INDENTING NUMBERS!
Thank you so much, I lost a days work not knowing how to do it as the account requires indented numbers.
Your very welcome Hayseed! glad it helped someone, LOL! sm
is your volume low now too?
I just did a system restore and that seems to have helped. nm

I want to thank everyone that helped with the C-phone question, got another one for ya now.
Okay.. another strange question. I'm used to just specifying my typing speed on a wpm basis, how do I convert my wpm over to lph?
Thanks again, everyone's been so helpful.
I'm against outsourcing, too. It's helped to ruin a lot of

Mouth guard helped me too. $500 and insurance did not pay, but
