My Fave?
Arkansas cake (banana cake with no frosting!) Ooooyum! It's rip roaring good!! Wash that down with some mountain Dew and you got one of the best taste treats that would rival any five star restaurnat BAR NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ops are my fave
Years ago when I worked inhouse and was training to do MTing, I was literally scared to death of ops. My boss lady did me the biggest favor of all. She noticed I did not pick the tapes (yes, tapes) for the ops, only choosing others and 1 day I think she was a little upset with me and put me exclusively on ops for about 3 months. Can I say thank you now! I can yo-yo on ops, I don't have any saved so most of my are word by word but most of the physicians I transcribed say the same thing over and over. I have now worked on the same acct for 18 years and I just about know what they are going to say next. Easy money for me. Don't care for H&Ps nor DS, they only slow me down.
Who's your fave Beatle?
John, Paul, George & Ringo - my fave is John. So creative and brilliant - such a senseless loss...
What is your fave browser?
Mine is Firefox - love how fast it is, plus tabbed browsing rules! Much better and safer than old Internet Explorer, I must say. BTW, the newest version of Firefox comes out today (free download) which is supposed 2B even better! 
My fave's VEGAS!
Anything Vegas is romantic to me......
Go there and find the best suite you can at one of the finer hotels; i.e., Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, Wynne, and then make reservations at some of the five-star restaurants - then top it off with a fine show, a few hands of black jack, a couple of Black Russians, and a helicopter ride over the strip at night, then if you have time, go to the top of the Stratosphere at their lounge and have another Black Russian. That view is TOTALLY romantic!
Whereever you choose, though, I have you have a totally romantic time!
here's one fave from my archives...sm
i had a young neurosurgeon dictating an extremely complicated brain surgery while on his cell phone in his sports car...all of a sudden i hear the engine screaming (sounded like a ferrari!) and him saying, "sh**...I gotta make this light, hold on..." which was followed by nothing but ENGINE noise for a few seconds, then a brief pause, and he calmly continued dictating his complex report...talk about multitasking...i'll never forget that one. :)
My husband's fave........
A good steak and angel hair/broccoli/shrimp on the side. I make it like a scampi and pour over the angel hair/broccoli. Bon appetit!
ER reports are my fave
They are always different and therefore interesting, and the docs always seem in a hurry so they talk fast and I fly through them which makes the line counts rack up really fast.
What's your fave Beatle song?
Hey Jude 4 me! 
my fave: How to lose a guy in 10 days (nm)
also the wedding planner.
Very HOT!!!!
my fave movie too....but not for Costner...nm
or this one is my fave tons of work..
There usually is for thre first three months at most..then nothing. I have no problem working on the hard accounts, but when it gets down to $30-$50 a day at most, it gets very frustrating. One spends all day logging in a looking for work to find one or two jobs. When you can't pay your bills, you have to move on. I want to find a company that consistently has the work...have yet to find it.....
I want to learn Spanish so when go to my fave

Smoky Mtns are my NEXT fave place in US!..sm
Spent a lot of time in TN, Smokies back in the 80s, when my child was little....Dollywood, biscuits and gravy, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, I love TN and NC. Probably my 2nd fave place in the US.
Who R your fave music artists/groups?
I looove Joni Mitchell, Karla Bonoff, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Dixie Chicks, Elton John, Beatles, Eminem...
This is my all-time fave. You can do partial names also
and it will list all the doctors with the same names, and then you choose the appropriate one. I cut and paste the doc's name and addresses into letters. Super easy.

it was K-force, but I don't think they do it now.
force yourself ...
... to absolutely stop at every heading.
Think about what you're doing.
Then do the right thing.
It slows you down when doing it, and you'll get aggravated at that too! But little by little you'll find yourself doing it without thinking -- once in awhile. Then all the time.
This is how I learned my short forms when I first started using the expansion programs. I'm so glad I took the time! Others wouldn't do it, and they suffered in the long run. Patience is virtue.
And if they try to FORCE it on us, then if ever there

The day they force me
get certification, CMT or whatever, is the day I retire. Totally ridiculous. What, someone with 20+ years experience is suddenly not qualified without some letters behind their name? Please.
You can't force them to pay what isn't in their
You state you are tired of your life revolving around your PC, used to be this and that. Well, that is your personal choice every single day and minute to sit there in front of that PC.
No one is making you stay in this business if you think it is going under.
Without the understanding of what part of the puzzle your particular job has in the picture for your employer, for your industry, for this country, you'll never be successful at any kind of bargaining or negotiation.
No one said you should feel sorry for MTSOs but before you go off charging like a mad bull, you need to understand what your options are and what the reality of the financial picture is.
I feel more sorry for those who bark off with the general statements that unions will save this work, a strike will bring you more wages, just band together and demand more and POOF, it will happen, etc., than I do for anyone else with other problems here.
After all my time in this work, having been in business with it, worked for other companies (nationals and smaller), it is clear that you are not understanding the whole picture at all.
Vent, gripe, complain - yes - but if you think words such as union or strike or demand are going to get you anywhere, you are sadly mistaken, my friend. It would be more sad to see you lose what you do have because of this.
Of all the companies announcing layoffs each week on the news, not one single company has been an MTSO.
It is not the end.
you have to get rid of this! Force yourself to think
always about what you are doing at the moment. If you do not do this, then the quality of your work - whatever you are doing - is going to suffer.
Do you have a wandering mind, in general? When you transcribe, do you then think about cooking?
I do not mean this ironic or sarcastic, I want to help you.
My son is leaving for the Air Force
I am so proud of him, yet so worried with the situation the world is in right now. Please pray for him if you would!
Yeah, May the force be with you......

I'd force her hand. sm
I'd definitely force her to do the deed if that's what she's up to. I sure wouldn't make it easy for her. It sounds like you've done a good job for them all this time. As for the pay, I think I'd be tempted to mention something about how they could afford vacation, but not be able to pay you, especially after you spent your vacation at home. The idea that she'd do that burns me up for you! Furthermore, you know darn well they've got the money. She's just being vindictive. Make sure and update after next week. We'll be wishing you luck with this sticky situation.
yes, legal to ASK--not force as
mandatory. Again, I've worked for other companies before, and I've either been very lucky or, as I've stated, this field has gone much downhill and there is less respect for the work and skills of MTs than ever.
No, it's not their job to give me an easy living, but neither is it my job to lose what little money I do make--compared to their ????--because they've overloaded themselves in their greediness to take on more accounts when they know they don't have enough MTs to cover it.
Christmas tree blobs are my absolute fave. Send some to me. nm

Yes, Live, his fave group - and the lead singer is his *idol*.

If I made $250,000 a year and had Air Force One to myself, I'd
take a lot of vacations, too.

I had to force myself to work with it, but I'm glad that I did.
It took about two weeks until I could get used to the idea of typing words differently. It has really helped with the fatigue in my arms, shoulders, wrists, etc.
Here is why they're trying to force 'certification'
Because we MTs are starting to get wise to them. U.S. MTs began to realize that a CMT was getting them NOTHING. And I think when U.S. membership started to slow to a trickle, that's when they started going after the Indian MTs. (For the sole purpose of course, of making money off of THEM, too). And then of course they'd have another selling point for their offshore workers when trying to sell hospitals on the idea, saying all or most of their offshore workforce is credentialled, but the U.S. MTs are not. So who knows - maybe the Indians have caught on to this con game, as well. After all, they can read these boards, too. So now that we've gotten wise, they're gonna try to FORCE MTs to get their certification. I for one will never give them one cent of my hard-earned income for some useless letters behind my name.
Obama's new task force
Maybe if all of us posted something here about medical transcription jobs being sent overseas, it could help? I'm not exactly sure if this would be the right place, but I think I'm going to write something about it. Have a nice weekend! :)

Candy corn is my fave, but not the Sam's Choice stuff. Eww. The only chocolate I really love is S
what's on Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I always wonder what it is that they do to their chocolate to make it so good.
dinner at her fave restaurant, with LOTS of camers, and everybody bring their own ideas.
Maybe this will finally force DH and I to NOT eat out so much, save money there. nm

Anyone have info on K Force Health care? nm

K-force, yes they still do. They offered me 11 cpl and 40 c/mile in San Bernardino, CA. nm

I'd force her hand while you line up other work.
I would continue doing the work and returning it as soon as it's done. Once you've transribed/printed it's their responsbility from there. I've seen so many docs think they can't afford to pay a measley paycheck but can well afford big houses, cars, vacations. Let's face it, they really don't know what 'tight' is. She seems fishy, very odd. What doc wants you to postpone getting work done? That's just plain bad business. I'm very sorry for you. I think you should keep doing the work, line up something else, and let her squirm and have to face you. If she phases you out by trying to avoid you, nicely get in her face, and make her be accountable for how she's treating you. I'm also very sorry about your husband. You'll be in my prayers.
maybe you oughtta try cherrypicking too...force the co. to deal with bad dictators! nm

never ever force anyone to attending funeral rituals, but especially a child who does not want to go

Head's up! AAMT Task Force has posted about their name change
I know some posters here are members who may be interested for various reasons. :-)
You tell them my sister MQMT. MQ fire patrol out in full force today!
 But we can contain their idiot remarks with logic.
Personally I would not force her to go - she can alway visit the grave site to say goodbye- sm
My mom died about 18 months ago, but has there been a funeral I would not have had my kids there (they were 6 & 4 at the time). I know my in-laws would have thought me a terrible person for that but I would not have cared (my mom donated her body to science-- my dad is too). An open casket is a lot different than a closed one and can make quite an impression on some. I just don't think that is something that should be pushed. She is old enough to make the decision, you should abide by it.
Get out the timer. You'll have to force yourself to work uninterrupted for periods of time.
Just keep in mind that you WANT the money. Best of luck!
Guess what? If companies fired the shoddy MTs, they'd lose more than half their work force in eve
company! Pretty sad state of things, but that's the quality out there right now, and AMERICAN MTs.
Do you expect businesses to cease operating because the U.S. work force refuses to provide services?
What will be wanted is that the immigrants pay taxes and that there are no outlaws coming and going. This is all about taxes.

I frequently regret it, the changes it has made to my life, but when life hands you horror, at least there is this "final solution" to your financial situation. I must admit, I sleep better, and I can finally hold my head up, and I no longer feel hopeless. Find the attorney you can work with,get your free consultation and DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO. If you have doubts, see a 2nd and a 3rd attorney, till you're comfortable with the person you choose.
A Christmas Story is my fave Christmas movie...forgot that one!

Actually, chosing "cap after period" will not force a period in the instances I mentioned. --
Even with it checked, it WILL NOT cap after a number with a period in it. Like "white count 14.1. hemoglobin 10.9.
If you know of a way that it WILL, let us all know. I have never had a version of Word that will work that way. Always puts in the lower case, even though there is a period there.
