Which First Lady do U admire most?
Eleanor Roosevelt for me. 
QA Lady, I admire you but please give it a rest.

You're a smart lady.
I need to wise up!
Mom's a smart lady and absolutely correct!
Online dating also falls into the desperate category. If someone doesn't want to meet people the conventional, in-person way, they have to be:
1. Socially challenged.
2. Facially challenged.
3. Vertically challenged.
4. Weight challenged.
There are a lot of people out there who do that kind of thing and that's their choice, but I'd rather meet face to face instead of trolling the computer from behind a monitor looking for goofs that no one in the real world would want.
"mean lady, ice lady, flaming monsters"
watch others feel hurt? from my computer? locked away? huh? you have clearly let your imagination run away with any powers of logic you may have had. sad.
Naaaaaaasty lady. Bad lady. Pooh.

You are doing it right...I admire those..
who realize that being an adult means acting responsibly. Do we blow money sometimes, you bet...but we know how much we can spend and never dip into our long term savings just because we want something. Between us we have 4 grown kids, but have never had any living at home with us However, my DH paid his child support obligation in full to the tune of $1000 a month and still we had savings, vacations, etc. Yes, I know things can change in an instant, that's why we are not in debt and have savings, just in case.
I admire your sm
tactful bluntness. You said what I was trying to say, but both of our posts have fallen on deaf ears...or so it would seem.
I admire what you've done....
I did something along those lines back in 1992. I left a high-paying job in NYC and moved to a VERY rural area of the country. Jobs I've found since then can't compare to what I used to make, but I don't have the hassles I used to have either. My husband and I scraped and scrounged for a few years but ended up paying everything (except our mortgage) off. We do nothing on credit, and if we want something, we either pay cash for it or we don't buy it. The bills are much more manageable now, and life is better--even though I still have a young child at home.
I really admire your enthusiasm. sm
I suggest that you spend some time browsing this website. Check the Main and Company boards, going back a few pages. That will give you an idea of how things work. It is intimidating at first, but you'll learn to sift for the grain.
The average MT job WITH EXPERIENCE pays 8 cents per line. Some make 9-11 cents, but not too many. I think it would be a miracle for a newbie to get 9, but I might be wrong. I have seen some working for 6, the lucky ones for 7.
Check some back pages on this board before you do too much, to get a feel for what's available, what kind of work you might be interested in, which companies will hire new (fresh out of school) MTs. A lot of companies require 2 years working experience.
Good luck to you. Don't get discouraged if it takes awhile; it's not easy to break in.
Hey, I admire you! I am 50, my DD is in college, and is always encouraging me to go, SM
I just don't know what to study! I am thinking of culinary arts.
I admire your ability to forgive and hopefully this will all blow over - however, that being said,
please make sure that Animal Control did not list this as an "incident" so that it may not be used against your dog in the future, even if no charges were filed. A lot of states have a strict "no bite or 3 bite" policy and would not want this to count against your dog later in life. My brother-in-law's dog bit a child when it got tangled up in her bicycle wheels (granted she should not have been that close to the child in the first place), so we've learned to be very careful about our animals.
Me too - she's great! I also admire Nancy Reagan

I really admire people that can make that kind of money
but knowing the hours she must work, and the days she must put in (probably all week plus the weekend), that's just not for me. Money isn't everything and I'd rather make my $40,000 and have my weekends free and work my 8 hours, five days a week and be done. Again, this is just me. Now if I could make that money working normal hours, I'd be happy. (I can dream can't I?)
No need to be smart with him. He's got my
respect for having earned his degree, whether or not he's working in that field and for whatever reason.
Not because they are smart...because they
IQ was never the issue!
If they are smart and get out ;)

We are just so smart... sm
 and great at what we do that we need a challenge once in a while. No, switching professions is not the answer if your desire is to stay at home. I have found that helping each other through these message boards has been quite invigorating, and to know that I am not alone in my endeavors is quite reassuring, I must say!
Smart Gal!
Yes, this is the only job I believe where the salary goes down in time instead of up. You are smart to find another career. I have been in this line of work over 20 years and only wish I had made another move early on. Good luck to you.
You are one smart person,
this, Soft Script would go out of business!!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
Smart Young Man
Your son sounds like a very smart young man. Not many kids these days truly care about their education. They look at high school as a party/social time, and dont look into the future what so ever, and said thing is a lot of our children are not getting the guidance from home either.
My son loves to learn and loves to be challenged and with him being home schooled we are able to do so.
And one other positive note on home schooling college intrance exams have shown that home schooled kids are just as smart if not smarter than those who go to public or private schools. The one on one they get is a big big factor in that.
Best of Luck!!!!!!!
work smart - -
You must be an IC. Yes?? Is that where "it's" at?
Monkey's are too smart for the job! LOL - nm

That's a smart post.
I like how you think. Very good.
info on Smart Med
Their pay is pretty good. Bennies pretty good. Platform not so good. Tech support leaves much to be desired.
There just might be, but rather than be smart alec

Transcriptionists are smart!
I had a doctor say to his "residents" that they should do transcription because I was answering all of the questions they could not, just because I've transcribed for so many years! That was kind of a nice feeling, if I do say so myself! So... maybe we could all be doctors some day! 
smart move. JMO

You're smart to do that.
You must feel much less bored and isolated by getting out into the real world and taking part in something more involved-feeling.
Really Smart Docs
From OB ultrasound report: "The fetus is single."
Good for that fetus! No fetus should marry before being born.
that's pretty smart.
will have to remember that.
Smart Type
You are better off just using one Expander at a time. There are things that ST will do that IT will not and vise versa. It is a matter of figuring out what is best for your needs.
You are welcome to email me and I can answer more specific questions for you.
You are 1 smart cookie
No matter what your age, you have done all the right things in order to have things go smoothly and be a productive worker at home. I like your way of doing things!
Is this legal or just not very smart? (sm)
I have a cardiologist who dictates from a template. Even if he does not mention things from the template, they are to be left in (negatives and positives). This includes in the PE a respiratory rate of 12. He never mentions it, but I have been told to leave it in. The odds of every patient he sees having a respiratory rate of 12 are pretty astronomical, and I think a lawyer could have fun with this if pressed. My supervisor agrees but feels we should give the client what they want.
Not too smart a question
I am sure, but I am totally new to digital transcription, as I have always used tapes. I have a service I am wanting to test with who sent me a voice file. I am using Express Scribe. The file is an .exe file, and I cannot get Express Scribe to accept it. What am I doing wrong?
Smart Type with
MedRite-XL ... what would the benefits of using Smart Type rather than the MedRite expander? Need to to anything I can to get faster.
It is smart to have 2 jobs if you can - sm
I have 2 IC jobs, though I don't work at the 1 much anymore (just weekends if I am not too busy); I have more accounts now with the 1 job (didn't have enough work like you before) though stilll not making quite what I want but slowly creeping up to my goal. I have the other IC job to fall back on if needed which is nice to know. I also have 1 account of my own and am about to seek some more out, so maybe I can reach my personal goal. But is it smart to have 2 jobs since if one dries up or they lose the account you are on then you still have income coming in.
smart gloves
Love the smart gloves. they have sort of a bean bag on the palm and do not restrict your typing at all.
Smart expander?
Does anyone know of a "smart" expander? One that remembers what you type and makes expansions for you? I think someone said Instant Text does but I'm not sure. Maybe there isn't one? Just wondering!
TIA!
As smart as doctors are, WHY
don't they have sense enough not to dictate on cell phones & speakerphones?! They dictate punctuation & spelling to make sure their report is perfect, but then dictate it on a cell phone cutting in and out?! 
oil of old lady!
That's what my husband calls Oil of Olay, but what does he know. I'll be 50 this year (and proud of it) and everyone says I look great for my age.
QA Lady
So obviously you were never a newbie? You came out of MT school the "perfect" MT. I have nearly 3 years experience and there are still things I look up. One thing about MT work is that is it forever changing. Not to mention the QA that faults me for things that are considered correct according to the Book Of Style. Just because an MT is new does not imply that she cannot do the job.
Hey QA lady. You were all over the
GAB board yesterday and now you are on the MAIN board telling us once again how wonderful you are and how superior you are to the rest of us. GET OVER YOURSELF. You keep telling us how awful MTs are, so QUIT and you won't have to deal with it anymore. I would hate to have you as my QA person. I think we all have heard enough about how PERFECT YOU ARE and how worthless MTs are.
You saying that, I only wish the lady
had been here at that particular time. I was transcribing a physician who changes almost every other word, sentence, saying oh don’t put that in, change to thus and so and then says a sentence and then says delete that. I could pull my hair out when I even see his name coming in. I remember the first time I ever listened to a physician and like the person you mentioned above, knew he was speaking English and I barely knew the first word he was saying. I guess most think we sit at home just "typing" a bit and then eating chocolate chip cookies the rest of the time.
I think Dubya's hot - smart, not swayed by
I'd sleep with him if he was single!
Smart MT. Tapes or internet? SM
Hello
I am currently an IC and I have 2 physicians. I want to use the internet to transfer files. I am currently using tapes. Any insight as to how do this safely, quickly, and cost effectively would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I am stuck using dial up.  Also, how much do you charge?
Lynn
Smart Gloves. Google them. They are the best!
You're not horrible - just smart
Your time is money, all the time you spent researching, designing, printing and distributing your flier was all time you spent and money out of your pocket. Just because others may not want to do the hard work for themselves, doesn't obligate you to give away yours. It is a business and you made a business decision. You know pretty well that there are those who would try to short cut and just change your information for theirs. Stick to your guns!
oops - SMART MOUTH..............NM
typo
I thought I was being so smart last year m
by buying a space heater for my office. I thought it'd keep me warm during the day (I'm naturally pretty cold) and I could still dial down and save on fuel oil. Well, I did those things, BUT our electric bill jumped about $50/month because of the space heater. At first I couldn't figure out why it had gone up so much. It was up more than the 40%+ that the electric company raised their rates. They told me to turn off all appliances and then turn them on one by one and watch the meter. THe meter didn't really increase at all from it's slow turn for any appliance until I turned on the tiny space heater I used and it started spinning like crazy. Turns out that heater was the cause of the increase in the bill. So just a warning about that. Others may know of heaters than don't pull that kind of juice. If you do, please post!
ha! smart gal! good luck! nm
