Spring Forward,

Don't know about elsewhere in the US, but here in the east tonight is the night we turn our clocks ahead one hour.
I had some pretty serious medical problems a year ago and was completely out of it from the middle of March to the middle of April so I have no recollection of time during that period. Does anyone recall the exact date that we "sprang" forward last year?

Well I did that and I can get it to go forward now but I can back up the dictation only go forward.
:
Can't you just spring for the cab, to be with your dad on TG? I think I would SM
do that, and maybe they'd have enough shame to give you a lift back to the station to go home.
I wouldn't let anybody keep me from being with my dad on TGD. Are you sure -- and I'm not trying to inflame you -- that you aren't maybe a little jealous of your steps? Just suck it up and go, don't be a martyr.
spring is here
Just one flower.
I love spring. It's been too hot lately to do anything around here.
I like it about 75 degrees with maybe a slight breeze. Plus, spring is when the lilacs bloom, all the critters have babies, and the garden starts to grow. The mosquitoes are out now in the early morning and evening, and it's 98 degrees or more during the day. It's better than winter, though. Fall is OK, but it makes me sad because everything is dying and winter's coming.
Ack, Sprint that is, NOT Spring...nm

Check the spring - you may need a new one
Spring break
I guess I am paranoid, but am afraid to let my 6-year-old granddaughter go out and play unless I am with her or her parents. It is a rotten shame our world has become so unsafe for children. Sounds like you have a good support team for your 5-year-old.
Yep, slow because of spring break.
About half of our clinic's doctors took off the last 2 weeks. It has been extremely slow. I only made half of what I normally do this month. :-( But things are starting to pick up again, so I just plan to work some extra hours next month to help make up for it.
Luckily for me with Spring Break
I have a 15 year old at home who watches her 5 year-old sister. Plus I also took a few days off so we can do things together. Also, there are a lot of kids outside in the neighborhood so they just all go out and play together. I know it would be hard if I didn't have all these things to keep her busy. It's too late now, but in our school district they have all sorts of programs half day and full day to keep the kids busy while their parents work. Maybe next year you could look into that. How about other kids in the neighborhood or maybe a teenager to look out for your son while you work?
MS Natural Keyboard help! spring needed!
I have a MS Natural multimedia keyboard that I used for about a month before I lost one of the springs that goes underneath the space bar. I tried other keyboards, even springs from pens, but nothing works. Does anyone have ideas on what to try or have a nonworking one that they can sell me the spring out of?
Thanks!
I got a replacement spring at my hardware store .... sm
take your remaining spring as a sample for the gauge ... i had to buy one a foot long, irrc, and cut it with scissors but I think it cost under $2. you might call around to save time ... I used an "old time" amazing local hardware store but I suspect my local Ace hardware would have something too .. (but doubt home depot or Lowes would) ...
There are several reasons I have half a dozen "dead" keyboards in my shed ... and this is one ... I think later models weren't made with this "feature" (the spring under tension poppping out and impossible to find feature, that is) ;-)
It just tastes like the Poland Spring water sm
that I drink all day. That is why I never bought the fruit water, I don't like sweet drinks. This is perfect for me.
I'm not spring chicken! LOL I turned 40 today!
Im far from young or immature---I worked in public health for the government for many years, had my children in my mid to late thirties and left the workforce. I still needed income, so that's why I pursued a work at home job, so I could be with my children. I guess I am "immature" or not used to being treated poorly by employers. I've noticed with MT is that if you complain about ANYTHING, you should be thankful that you are working at home! Just because we work at home does not mean we have to accept anything. Again, my employer said one thing in the interview and completely changed the plan once I was released to work from home. This profession needs a union, big time or some type of advocates (please don't meantion AAMT, because they could care less). I have a right to be disappointed that I was basically lied to. If I had known they were going to make me work a set shift when I got in the home, I probably would have turned the job down. Now I have to make the best of if until I can find another professional job and find a good preschool for my toddlers.
My nephew got a girl pregnant at Spring Break.
He was in college. The girl pretty much partied with every guy there, but tracked them down. DNA proved paternity. Now he pays child support to a girl who was a one night stand. As bad as that is, things could have been worse. I am just glad my DD never wanted to go.
Hinting spring in Central Maine 40ish.
We're getting there! 
Parents of College Students..Any of your kids going on Spring Break?
Ugh! I have a son going with a group of friends to Mexico for thier first "spring break." They are all good kids, but I've seen the late-night Girls Gone Wild videos... They better be good. 
too true. Spring break is somekind of commercial myth anyway,
Still looking forward
I have been reading this board for a short time now and have been pretty grateful for a lot of the information and advice.
What I am not grateful for? The sense that MT completely sucks and is the worst career choice anyone could make. I understand that people like to vent but there are some posts that just come across, to us who are learning and just getting into the field as very, as very bitter and very discouraging.
I am only posting this because I have a voice, too. I am looking forward to working from home, having people ask me how to do "do what you do at home", making some extra money (though I DO know that I won't be getting rich in this field), and learning all there is to learn about our language and the language of medical professionals.
Every job, every career, every field has its share things to hate. I'm sure MT won't be any different. But please, remember when you post that there are some of us who really want to enjoy and succeed in MT. Advising us to turn the other way and run just doesn't seem a fair thing to do.
I'm just sayin...
You could also forward your sm
calls to your cell phone while you're working.
Definitely looking forward to seeing it. sm
It's unfortunate that politics and business so strongly influence the health care we and other patients get, but they are, and his films provide additional information that is for the most part all too appallingly accurate on review. Those most surprised and disbelieving would benefit most by researching its veracity for themselves and not relying on the word of others. Besides, the films are always fun to watch if maddening.
forward it
There is a place somewhere on Homeland Security or FBI site where you can forward them suspcious emails and they check it out. Let the sender who told you to get screwed know that you are planning on doing this even if you don't forward them. I too am sick of the scammers and Viagra ads. Viagra doesn't qualify, but those money things do! I have even gotten "bank statement" things and I block them out or forward them over. After that, I don't hear from them again. Anybody else been getting junk faxes lately?
I am looking forward sm
to being back. I have done a little here and there when needed but nothing where I could say I am "working." I had some health problems of my own that are now resolved so it has been a long period. Truthfully, I wish everyone could AFFORD to take a break. I found out I also had burn out and the break (regardless of the reason) really has helped as far as MT goes. I am looking forward to getting back to it. Thanks.
We homeschool and we are all looking forward
to getting back to a structured learning time. Homeschooling is not something we do, it is a lifestyle, and we are constantly learning, but we have an "official" 180 days as required by our state.
I look forward to talking with you again
in the future.
I look forward to hearing more
...especially about satellite connectivity. That is my big issue at the moment. We have high-speed, business-grade satellite with Direcway, but some companies cannot work with this. Do you know if DRC can?
flash forward
Those were the days! My production dropped significantly when i had to switch from flash forward to shorthand. But at least I have a job!
yep, IC..and looking forward to retiring!
Hoping to get off the merry-go-round next year, am very hopeful anyway.... My New Year's resolution....LOL.
Never liked Gayle, not looking forward to her nm
a
The one I looked forward to...
He did his dictation at home I suppose and every night..."Daddy, stop talking, look at me".....for what seemed like hours on end. Never took the child out, just let her screeeeeaaaam into the mic the entire time, while the wife talked in the background, oblivious to the child...I suppose she was glad someone was taking it off her hands. 
Thank you!! I look forward to recieving it!
t
That and 'pay it forward'
loved that movie too!
Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?
Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....
Mine was quite a bit more. Hmmm looking forward to that
xx
Was this about the shorthand tips? Looking forward to that.

It does feel good looking forward.
Thanks MTPockets! You bring up a good point. I AM moving on and it is going to be okay. My kids need to see me normal and happy. That's two things my younger two have never seen because he's their daddy. This post became so fun and I love that! Thanks again to everyone to who posted!
Many thanks - look forward to hearing about the keyboard (nm)
Thanks
Pay It Forward........Kevin Spacey....
*Notebook* was also VERY sweet!!!
Isn't THAT pretty straight forward!?
He wants it on there because he wants the transcript to go out NOW!! Perhaps he doesn't have time to read it NOW but you can bet your sweet bippee they read ALL transcripts unless they all have photographic memories, and half these doctors don't even have the common sense to press pause on their digital recorders, so assuming they have photographic memories or just naturally remember what each and every patient's problem is and everything they did for the patient and said to the patient, well, it's a REAL long shot. USE YOUR HEAD. This is common sense!
I'd "accidentally" forward it to a higher up.

Fast forward, very little stopping, no
calls. I have done this hospital so long that very easy for me, know the dictators, these are the 4s also. I do some straight (training hospital). My favs are ops also and it is just fast, fast typing and fast forward on the VR. I did not want to work fulltime anymore so set this 3000 per line on the days I work so I can still bring home what I want to make.
New Owner Please Come Forward And Show Yourself
Have you heard the rumor the Writer's Union is the new owner of this board and they will be promoting a Transcription Union? With Google's new Medical Record Depository, the public actually viewing their own records, our skills will be in demand and we can set our own standards of reimbursement. Supply and demand.
Flash Forward SNAFU
Working in WP 5.1 for DOS. System is set up to automatically install Flash Forward when I boot up. As the Flash Forward bar is running, it stops and gives me a pretty blue flashing prompt saying "Attempt to add duplicate Abbreviation: blah, blah, blah. Has anyone experienced this? How do I get out of it? I assume there must be some way to search for and delete the duplicate abbreviation, but beats me all to you-know-what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
fast forward audio?...
what does that mean? and are you really editing all for 99% QA or just fixing the "bigger issues." i'm not being snide, i really want to know your secret; my system is anywhere between regular typing speed to 1500 per report but averages out much lower than what you are getting.
Me too, but also looking forward to 24 and that prison show sounds

Please forward the Paypal notification to me and I will check into it.

It is where the doctor tells you to "pull forward" SM
something from the patient's last visit. For example, he will say pull forward my problem list, medications, and allergies from job # whatever and you will go back and copy and paste that into the patient's new report. Sometimes they will make changes and sometimes they won't. I didn't know what it was until 2 years ago when I started an account that did it.
WP5.1, Flash Forward, drooool! I liked Smartype too (NM)

I just forward my calls to my cell and answer that way...
if important. Or I can just get the call on the computer through my email.
Thanks for the replies. He is looking forward to the Tacos in Mexico! He is a great kid. Will Pray!

Pretty cool. I'll be looking forward to a Discovery program about this. nm

Forward it to spoof@paypal.com, also check your acct directly through their web site...
