Red hot pepper poured in the garden works wonders. sm

I had moles and rabbits and cats eating everything in mine so I poured red pepper and bought a cheap can of jalapeno peppers and threw them around as well. As if by magic, all the animals went away. I just got the cheap 2 for $1 stuff at Dollar General.

A long hot shower works wonders, or take some
Tylenol and lay down for about 20 minutes and give it time to kick in. Take a short walk if the heat isn't unbearable where you are. I know if you hurt you may not feel like it, but probably part of your aches are because you don't get enough exercise - I know that is my problem. I have recently had to start taking a break about every hour and move around for 15 minutes and that has helped a bit.
TED hose. Works wonders. I got mine sm
K-mart in the pharmacy department for 5.00. They're compression stockings. Works great for my aching ankles too.

One wonders if MQ lover
Zipper and a few others are not one in the same...sorta like those multiple personality disorders

It's worked wonders for me....
My doc put me on it (20 mg) per day. He also put me on nortriptyline (minimum dose, which I take at night. I feel like a new person on this!! I can think clearly and more logically and not so emotional. Before I got on it, I wasn't having crying jags but SOBBING jags!!! These two meds have REALLY evened me out!!! Once in a while I can feel that I'm trying to get depressed, but my body/head won't let me due to these meds. It's wierd!
DON'T use the RED PEPPER! Can you
imagine if you had surgery and got capsaicin from the peppers in the wound? OUCH! Try men's or boy's underpants. Turn them around backwards so you can pull the tail through the crotch hole, then pull the waistband tight and safety pin it. We used to use that for our female breeding dogs who were in heat. Otherwise, you can try him for a few minutes at a time without the collar to see if he'll leave it alone.

Ugh, I just spent hours in the hot sun picking peas, lettuce, beans, onions, and zucchini. Now we have to eat it all.
Might want to scoop some into a Baggie and take them to the local nursery/garden center to ID. nm

Be careful using hot pepper and such
Animals will literally scratch out their eyes if they get that near them. There are other more humane options depending on the animal.
Cayenne pepper may help
look up "health benefits of cayenne pepper" on Google and/or www.curezone.com.
Some of the benefits are amazing, and pain relief is one of them, increased blood flow to extremities, etc.
Gotta have Dr. Pepper
The phone, cell phone, TV remote, lots of post-it notes, the blinds up on the window for sunshine (if I'm lucky). The standards already mentioned, Kleenexe's, q-tips, fan, lotion.
Things that I have to have but not by choice........the dogs at my feet (hopefully not on the pedal), the cat roaming around annoying the dogs, and last but not least, hubby in the next room snoring away! (thank heavens for noise cancelling headphones!)

Interesting. OP wonders what happened to all the good MTs and
MTs post back about their experiences and now the MTSO feels slammed..... there is always more than one side to a story. She has had some bad experiences and we MTs have had some very negative ones also.

Will pepper spray work?
I was considering getting some as the dogs behind me mauled another dog (blind in one eye, collapsed lung, laceration on its front leg, back claws broken off from resisting being pulled under) by pulling it under the fence between the yards. Animal control says we can't do anything as long as the dogs are fenced in. But, it is just a matter of time before they dig a big enough hole to get under the fence - as it is, they look like they can make it over the fence if they try hard enough. Animal control told me to build a privacy fence with my own money. TG we are moving soon. I swear if those dogs come in my yard and get anywhere near my kids, I will be tempted to shoot them. They have bitten two neighbors already.
A smile does wonders and it doesn't cost a thing. nm
be careful w/that oil - too much can cause problems you probably don't want to have.
Carry mace or pepper spray for this. (nt)
Be careful with pepper spray, you'll get your dogs too
and possibly yourself if the wind is blowing just right. The stuff is extremely powerful and won't just bring down the offending animal.
I agree with calling animal control, as they are the "animal police" and the "people police" won't even bother.
The dog owner needs to be reported whether he was in his yard trying to get his dog back in or not. Sure, maybe the dog "got loose," but he should have at least been decent enough to apologize.

Form into patties, cook with some chopped or sliced onions, then add an envelope of gravy mix and water, cook a few minutes. Easy, you can add other stuff or use canned gravy. Enjoy!

Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

this works at least for
fire ants, probably for most any I would think. Just sprinked around some QUICK grits, (not the slow cooking kind). What happens is the worker ants take the grits to the queen, she eats the grits and blows up; usually the ants move on....I had to do this several times over the years and have never been disappointed. Good luck to you.
Maybe she works because she needs to
not because she thinks the transcription world can't make it without her. That's what I do. I do occasionally take a day off (very occasionally, but I work lots of weekends and lots of holidays because, simply put, it pays the bills and puts food on the table. 
They want you to know something is in the works.

Here's how ASR works
ASR is NOT more production than when we were just doing MT work before. I like ASR because it is a variation in muscles used, NOT because of productivity. I have gone DOWN 10% in overall production since the induction of DEP/ASR. They say I have gone up 50%. It is not short to explain but I will try to brief it- They are taking a 1 week period from this summer and comparing the production of your MT against your ME work for that week. This does NOT show what your production has increased since you are an ME. An account with ASR puts all the well spoken dictators on ASR and leaves the more inaudible speakers on transcription. If they were to take production from the yearly quarter before DEP/ASR started and compare it to the most current quarter completed - That would be more accurate. This is another set up for failure or a carefully concocted tactic for MQ to make us think our production is going up!
DD only works
if the company you work for offers it, though. What's even worse than a late mailman is the idiot at headquarters who didn't mail the check on time.
Works?
I have Word 2003 that came with MS Works. I use the Word count with spaces and divide by 65. Mine has a count with spaces and one without. Is this not what you mean?
Don't do it. No one really works that way
anymore if they are legit. I would really doubt this. Lines is what most of us work by. You can do lots by bytes to hide things. Years ago they had an article in AAMT when I used to read it about just this very thing. I don't know if you can find someone with an issue of it or not. I have no idea when I saw it but it was an interesting article comparing how our work is measured. This one was the last one that they would recommend.
works better for me than others..
Cymbalta has a more subtle affect than others. I take it in combination with Welbutrin and have been on this combination for about six months... I was on Celexa before that, which was horrible. Weight gain and unobtainable orgasm with that one...I seem less overwhelmed on my current combination, also with Xanax for STAT relief.
My kid works at
My kid works at Burger King for a part-time job while in college. Been there since he turned 15, so almost six years now. If he could talk to you, he would tell you to work any place but there. Yes, they start you off at $6.50 to $7.00 per hour and guarantee four raises the first year; however, after six years, he is now making $7.95 an hour (with excellent evaluations). Get ready to work Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc. Get ready to be dumped on by lazy managers who don't want to do their job and can make you do their job for them. Get ready to have customers curse you because another employee screwed up your order. Get ready to have cameras watching your every move. Get ready to clean toilets after filthy customers who don't care if they trash the restroom stall. Get ready to mop floors several times per shift. Get ready to come home stinking to high heaven because of the grease, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, etc, that is all over your uniforms. And, before I forget, get ready to do laundry on those greasy uniforms every day because you only qualify for one uniform the first thirty days.
Give up medical transcription? Never -- even though the doctors never say, "Thank you for a job well done." I'll take the deadlines, the stress, the competition and the back pain if for no other benefit than the fact that I still smell good after I finish my shift.  Don't forget the extra pounds you'll get at Burger King -- I do believe just inhaling that stuff puts on the pounds.
It works for me
See, I don't have enough expenses/deductions to qualify to itemize on my income tax. When you are an IC, your tax burden may be less because you can offset it with home office space, books, software, hardware, etc. Maybe you own your own house and/or have children to claim on your taxes. Maybe you are married and have a supplement income (all thes things are none of my business, just listing things  )
Anyway, my point is this: If I need an appendectomy tomorrow and need 6 weeks off, since I don't have anyone to support me and I don't have any savings, then PTO, STD and LTD covers my income so I can recover without worrying about losing income or possessions.
It's all different strokes for different folks. See, I also just started with this company a few months ago. On my last job after 5 years, I was making more than $50,000 as I did MT and worked as a certified coder for a hospial also. My income always goes up each year after I start new accounts
here's how it works
You have to have high-speed internet to use Vonage, either cable modem or DSL through your phone line. Vonage sends you a router box which connects to your internet and then you can hook up a phone line in the back of it so that your calls are being made essentially over the internet instead of the traditional method, so I plug my C-phone phone cord into the Vonage box and use it for calling to access dictation. This is my home office, but out in other places in my house I have my regular phones connected to the jacks in the wall and just use the same number I've always had for regular calls. I keep the 2 lines because I couldn't get a local phone number with Vonage. However, in a lot of areas your phone number will transfer and you can eliminate your regular phone bill all together if you just want to use the Vonage phone service, but it's your choice. Hope that made sense.
What works for me.....
I type approximately 1800 to 2000 lines a day. I heavily use my Autocorrect in Word and start off with a saved template which has all the general headings that my ortho doc uses. Then, I just basically fill in the blanks!
what works for me---
I ask them to once. then, I sit back and wait awhile, usually a couple of days. I don't nag, I don't complain, I don't bitch and moan- I've found it to be a waste of time & energy-- I jump right into stark raving crazy, to the point that they worry about my sanity and the safety of their body parts --works every time ;) (you'll probably need to use that technique only once tho')
