How bout....
Taking one Sunday (or a day you are not working) and make a bunch of casseroles, crockpot foods, etc. and freezing them? Pull out of fridge, thaw, cook, eat! AND HEALTHIER
Sorry bout that!
Then Welcome!
Sorry bout that
Sorry... I have two forums open at once.
LOL that would be somE..sorry bout that!!

how bout now
So, granted, you guys didn't take the hit that the editors did, but do you believe it now or do you think it is still a hoax? We were just trying to give y'all the heads up that we didn't get and got trashed for it. We're all too good for that place.
dis aint bout me
I was consistently getting 1200 lpd after transcribing for 6 months on a very difficult VA account. I think MQ'ers just like to whine. Take whining out of your vocabulary and make so $$$.
I went through a bout of this years ago. sm
Try not to crook your arms too much while transcribing. If you can possibly pull your chair out farther, that ought to help. If you have arms on your typing chair, try removing them and don't rest your arms on tables, etc. Driving will aggravate this condition, too, as arms are crooked too much. Good luck.
Mine did get better with the adjustments I suggested above.
How bout meatballs???
I have made meatballs in the crock pot and it couldn't be easier. Use your favorite homemade meatball recipe, brown them in a frying pan, and place them in your crockpot with a couple jads or so of your favorite sauce (depending on how big your crockpot is). In about 2 or 3 hours your meatballs are done and the sauce tastes totally homemade!!! No need to stir the meatballs so they never break apart. Good luck on whatever you decide to make!!! 
Ok, how bout this? She came here turn off the

Let the next MT refuse him also. Be open bout
I dont consider this cherrypicking. Just straight up refusing to do a doctor who has no regard for me or his pts if he is going to dictate in a manner that is indecipherable. Again, I am in this for the money just like MTSO. I am not here to work for mere pennies an hour. There are plenty of jobs out there. The MTSO can get rid of me over 1 crappy doctor or keep me, knowing I know the platform, etc. If MTSO would rather have 1 crappy doctor or a darn good MT, whatever. Again, it is hard to find a good MT, crappy dictators are a dime a dozen. Let the next MT refuse him or not. It is here decision. Mine is to ask to be taken off so I can make money just like the MTSO.
OK, then how bout sharing some of the wonderful co's you have found....sm
How bout sharing the co's you are finding that offer experienced MTs, more than .09/65 char.... cause that' sall I'm finding. And on top of that will be ESL crap... And that is not what I've been used to!! Discouraged, disappointed, and upset!!
But poster talking bout working through MTSO,

sorry bout the typo... too early and kids not cooperating this morning....
Let me know if you have any questions.
XP Media
Might be the fact too that you are using XP Media and not XP Home or XP Pro
Don't believe the news media (sm)
You are so right. Everything is going up but our wages and it's happening all over. It is time for everyone to get their finances in order. We are all going to have to tighten our belts and get our finances in order and get rid of credit cards! 
i meant media

Alert The Media
Do you think you could draw the attention of the media for this cause? Maybe there's a spunky investigative report who would want to get the story out.
Typical media; what do they know.
nm
it is a form of media ...
for healthcare professionals. It has a circulation. It is readily available in schools. All media matters because what is in the media influences the way people think. I think it gives a negative view of us to those who call the shots over us who read it. That's why I think it matters.
This is HEARSAY from media and/or Mrs. Twitty.
You all quote media as if it should be written in stone. Obviously not enough credibility to hold this guy in jail for suspicion.
media play dictation
Anyone familiar with this? My doc is dictating via internet. It comes across on my media play and i can hear him but when i switch over to word there is no way to pause him from talking...........
The media will contact the AAMT
The AAMT will say the same old line about there not being enough US MTs. We need a good response for their lie.
Windows Media Player
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a pedal with the Windows media player? I am doing some test reports and have been unable to use my pedal to start, stop, and rewind. Without the pedal, this will take forever!
It plays in Windows Media but..
I first get a message that it is not a recognized extension.
okay, now I'm a little worried....
my husband is on a boat...sort of a boat....which is docked on LA coast. He wasn't worried yesterday as he was talking to me on a pay phone, but he was also getting drenched by torrential rain.
all I can do is pray, I guess
Sorry I had you worried.
I won't let it happen again.
worried
I`m so sorry to hear you all are losing your accounts. It`s really scary, I have been looking for some type of employment since December and still nothing. I was working as a receptionist at a Independent doctor`s office and and because of lack of money and to try to safe money he joined in with another doctor in his office, which had a full staff so most of us lost are jobs. Anyway with all this happening I decided to go to MT school which starts the end of this month, but after reading all the posting`s on here of lost jobs, YIKES! I`m wondering if this is the way to go. In other words I am now scared, worried, and very concerned and just don`t know what to do.
What is going on in the health care field? 
I'm not worried . . .
Those who would bash someone for trying to question a system that is obviously not working very well are people which I refer to as sheep . . . the ones who don't want to buck the system because they're afraid of losing their way. We would still be living in caves if it weren't for those people who had the guts to question and demand accountability.
I was worried about that, too, but...
It looks like you have the option of keeping a minimum-payment land line account for emergencies. You use the same phone for ooma and land calls. You can keep your own phone number if you keep your land line. It sounds pretty amazing.
I got a little pay-as-you-go cell phone awhile back, so I suppose I would just use that to call 911 if I gave up my land line.
I'm not worried.
I'm not worried about any American MT taking my job. I'm very good at what I do. I like my employer and really don't want to be the one to subject them to some of the nasty folks on this board.
Worried?
Yes, EMR seems like the most worrisome of the threats to our jobs. But I had a client who doesn't use us anymore but does use EMR and they have not been able to get rid of their MTs because all EMR can't be done with a punch screen. There are so many variables that some of it needs to be dictated. Now if Kaiser is not dictating and just doing EMR then their records are suffering but Kaiser is an entity unto itself and it makes up its own rules and patient care is in the toilet at Kaiser.
I'm not surprised that the media is trying to "spin" him into a hero
but he's unqualified and unethical. The tourists that were there were able to pay him to let them out of there first, plain and simple. Once again, consider the source.
Hero my foot.
It's all part of the media's waging war on Christians
They have now pulled out all stops and have no problem making us all look like a bunch of bible-banging hicks if we speak our minds.
Help with taking test with media player
Hi there....I have to take a test using Windows Media Player and I can't figure out how to type in Word and still be able to use the keyboard keys (no foot pedal yet). If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Microsft digital media keyboard
I just bought the above keyboard. I plugged into my dell computer and the functions like zoom in and out and my favorites do not seem to work. I cannot find any directions other that what is in the box. What am I doing wrong.
Media Player/DSS format questions
This subject brings me to the problem I am having right now. I have a WAV pedal program which my doctor and I just started using. Going fine. Then all of a sudden he changes his format and sent me a file with a WMA and it came up in the Media Player. Oh, I saved the attachment in MY WAV files, but also have an archive file set up also. It did not come up in MY WAV files, but thank goodness did automatically come up in the archive part in the Media Player, and I could not get it to work with my pedal either, so literally had to listen and stop, re-listen, and type, etc. It took me 3 1/2 hours to do a 20 minute job! I get so frustrated as I am not IS literate. Now he has told me that he will be sending everything in DSS format and that I should go to a particular website and download so that I can get into it. Well he did not give me a model number, so cannot seem to get a download without it. But this also makes me wonder where and how I should be setting up things to find the documents and where/how to save them. Any tips are appreciated. TIA
Try this plug-in for Windows Media Player. sm
It looks like the .dvf file is a Sony recorder file. You don't say why the file needs to be converted to .dss and I'm not even sure that you can because .dss is proprietary to Olympus. Maybe this plug-in will be of some help to you. Let us know.
The MEDIA is owned by 5 mega corporations
and they have an agenda almost if not more devious than certain politicians...
Remember the MEDIA is owned by FOR-PROFIT corporations. Corporations like this have a LEGAL responsibility to make as much money as possible for shareholders. What does that mean? It means they choose sensational garbage over substance to "report" - and in the case of this so-called war, they BENEFIT the reads PROFIT directly and indirectly, so they purposely censor the information that gets in the way of true public awareness.
If ANYone sincerely believes the media is our friend, they have not done their homework. Don't take my word for it: Google "who owns the media" and see any number of studies showing WHICH corporations own the major news corporation.
GE make "bring good things to life" BUT they ALSO make bombs (WMD) - AND they own NBC. Connect the dots yourself, and consider asking your reps in Congress for legislation to clean up the media.
Yes, there are crack reporters who are DYING to report the truth, but they are EDITED out by their supervisors who follow the agenda of the corporate bosses.
The facts are out there if you look for them.
I got a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard - sm
at Office Depot... not very expensive, (maybe $39?), and it has a great feature... a little lever off on the left side of the keyboard that if you want the letters to appear larger, you push it up, and smaller, you push it down. Only takes 1 finger. I LOVE it! :)
I would reverse the media player back
and see if that corrects the problem. If so, you might either decide you don't need the upgrade or contact Windows about a fix...
Make sure your plug is all the way in - sometimes it looks like it is but isn't seated.
Just do a restore to the day before you did the upgrade - or if you are uncomfortable with this uninstall the software and test your headphones...
just a thought.
No, you cannot use a foot pedal with Media Player.
Try downloading Express Scribe; it's free.
If it is a windows media audio file just .....sm
drag it into your open gear player box. You should be able to play the windows media file there, and use your foot pedal.
Will the file play in Windows Media or QT? ..nm

Whew! You had me worried there
I have been worried about my job as well and tired of the pay..
I have been concerned with the MT field as well. I originally got started in this profession to be able to be at home and work when I have children. So far no kids have come along but I have found something else to do in addition to transcribing at home. Visit www.thefreshairshop.com if you are interested. :-)
I figured you must be worried....sm
I know you're worried and I don't even know you. However, knowing insurance, if you go before the insurance kicks in, they (the insurance after it kicks in) will see this as a preexisting condition and may not cover future treatment. IF you can wait 12 days (because even if it was serious, and it may not be serious, 12 days won't make any difference, outside of possibly allaying your fears). 12 days will gallop by!!! I feel bad for you because you're anxious and I'm the same way about these things. Hope you do well !!!!! 
Thank you for posting! I was so worried about
you! I am very proud of you, too! It is unbelievable and sickening, literally, how bad withdrawal is from simple pain meds. It WILL get better, I promise! And, again, we are not addicts - the body simply gets dependent on pain meds, as well as some blood pressure pills, antiseizure meds, and more. The stigma of being on pain meds can be so devastating as well, but you have nothing to be ashamed about! Please do keep us posted!
