had to pay a dime for. Cigarettes were 28 cents. You put in a quarter and a nickel (the machine) and you got a pack of cigarettes with two pennies in the cellophane. Ugh. I'm really telling on myself here.

A cent more per line... we are talking a penny here people - a PENNY. SM
How does that make it worth it in your mind? You pay $298 for a certification test that is slanted in their favor - you have to memorize their rules! And then you a whole penny more per line?
I would hope that you have enough self-respect to believe that you are worth more than a penny more per line!
Putting a real penny in those penny loafers! nm

It depends on font size, line length, margin size, etc.
There are too many variables.
Take all foods with ASPARTAME out of diet. Stop cokes, chocolate. Eat leafy green veggies. Drink
just did a research for a friend of mine whose doctor had given her vit E and quinine for her leg cramps. When I was researching I ran across the above to go with your type symptoms along with the leg cramps.

For the nickel allergy, you can paint
the metal with clear nail polish. I do that where my watch sits against my skin - one of my MDs suggested it.
I have very mild eczema, and my skin likes the new Ivory soap that has aloe vera in it.
I presume you reuse your nickel otherwise - sm
many here would need 200+ rolls of nickels a day to do this. I use a timer to increase my speed. I set it for 30 minutes and see how many minutes of work on a particular doctor I can get done in that time. I generally average 8-9 minutes in 30 minutes which for me is a good amount. I am trying to do it all the time now so I work smarter and faster.
I hope "sm" got my apology about the nickel.

Nickel and dime accounts/misc charges
I do not nickel and dime my accounts to death. What I charge per line covers my time of delivery, printing, cutting apart chart notes, reruns when needed, etc. If you hit them with this charge and that charge they very well could look elsewhere that just gives one price for everything, all included. Simplicity. Sure just like now I scanned a tape to do a STAT H&P for surgery but the doctor did it on the hospital line and did not write it down as he usually does, yes it took me 10 to 15 minutes but will I charge them NO. WHY because yesterday I made $130 in less than two hours on their account and I received my checks one day after invoicing. I invoice on the 25th, receive check today and it was due until the 1st. And also they treat me like one of the team and appreciate what I do. But you do what you need to do but if you keep it simple without all the extra charges, they will like you better. You have to figure your nonbillable time into your rate. Good luck. Patti
If allergic to nickel, then avoid green beans, broccoli, peas, etc.
I have that same allergy, had problems with the old metal zippers, snaps, etc.

Used to be CMT - Sorry I let it go. A penny is a LOT...@1000 lines a day, it's $2,580 a year - I&
I can think of a lot of things I could do with an extra $2,580 a year - a great vacation, a down payment on a used car, new office equipment, or tons of supplies for my hobbies. I was an original grandfathered CMT - but it took a lot of medical conventions, journal reading, and paperwork to keep it up. I kept my CMT for 14 years. Then in one of the hardest years of my life, while concentrating on some overwhelming personal concerns, I lef it go because I didn't want to take the time to fill out the paperwork. I regretted that the very next year. I have worked for MTSO's who paid a premium, and some who didn't. So some years it would not have done me any financial good. I don't think the MTSO I work for now pays extra for CMT, but I know they value it. I think I will start carrying my AAMT Book of Style around with me for a few months, and then sit for the certificate again. But I emphasize that IF your MTSO pays more, it is a no-brainer to go for it, in my PERSONAL CASE I will do it for my own satisfaction. Everyone may not agree with everything in the Book of Style, but it is a good thing to start from a foundation that makes sense. You have to choose one, and the Book of Style is available and makes sense. Anyway, again, a penny is a lot ... in most cases at or more than 10 percent - who doesn't want a 10 percent raise? Wise
offshoring - like the docs need to save a penny
n/m
Penny wise and pound foolish
Cheap ones don't save in voice files. They're hard to use so most likely your doc will not bother to pause or rewind for dictation. You may save some money now but you will end up wasting more time to decipher the recording. The best one is Olympus DS5000... every word can be heard clearly with that.
OMG! You are a riot! Maybe they should give you 19 cpl and run a huge corp on a penny?
and screaming poverty! And if you work for 8 cpl, well, then that's YOUR problem! You take peanuts for pay, and then complain about it! Go figure.
I agree, Frizz-Ease is the best. Worth every penny. nm

Stay way from Penny Talk - you will constantly be disconnected..sm
It was nothing but a big mess. Everytime I tried to pound off a job, it would disconnect me, and then charge me the 69 cents to reconnect, which I ended up doing about 50 times a day. Not an option for any MT. I have always used Vonage and have had no problems. If all else fails, stay with onesuite.com until you can find a permanent unlimited long distance plan. Good luck!
A big waste of effort and money. You won't make 1 penny more.

"Happy Birthday toooo youuuu dear Penny.

I think I would just send an email and say, I know it is a system problem, and I have been available as schedule and waiting around, but since I did have prior plans that cannnot be cancelled, I will have to sign off my regular time. Perhaps, I can add a few minutes on consecutive days to try and recoup. (this shows your commitment but HEY!!!
Mrs. King
It just says that she was ready to try some alternative treatments. Actually, many, many people go to Mexico and to South America for treatments that are not available here.
Unlike what some of the posters below say, they are not necessarily crackpot treatments. Most other countries do not tie their medical system up in knots like the USA does - they offer the treatment, tell the patient the risks and let the pt. decide whether to assume the risk.

No way, have you seen the Burger King guy
He seems kind of creepy to me. I have developed enough paranoia working at home alone all these years without some guy who thinks he's a real king sneaking up on me in my back yard or trying to push me off a tall building. No thanks!
Anyone eat chicken a la king?
Chicken a LA King Recipe
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups evaporated milk or half-and-half
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 cups diced cooked chicken
1/4 cup chopped pimiento
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add mushrooms and green pepper; cook for 5 minutes. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring and cooking until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. If you'd like a thicker sauce, blend 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water; add to sauce, a little at a time, until desired thickness is reached. Cook for a few more minutes. Add chicken and pimiento; heat through. Serve on toast points or pastry shells or rice. Chicken a la King Recipe serves 6 to 8.

Sounds like the king in ...
The King and I movie. I would just type what she says "etcetera..." and see what happens.
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
I was at King Fahad... it was terrific
Write me privately at shemah@shemahonline.com. I've got lots of info and tips for you on how to have a REALLY great year or two in Saudi Arabia! :) Don't worry, you can have FUN!

That is interesting, I saw her on Larry King
and he asked why she started the school there and not to help kids here and her answer was because in this country we had a public school system for the kids to go to.
I would call giving away cars to her audience giving to needy people here, I couldn't even afford tickets to go see her show if I wanted. I have always liked Oprah over the years, but lately I am just disappointed in her.
King Faisal Hospital
They have a web site, I just looked at it. They have a listing for an MT.
See http://kfshrcj.org/channels
Interesting. I'll check on Dubai later.
Anyone ever work at King Faisal Hospital
in Riyadh? I seriously have been thinking about it. They pay big bucks from what I've heard, no taxes, free housing, air-fare, vacation, medical, etc. Don't know how safe it is anymore since the war.
Has anyone actually left MT to work at Burger King?
I am just about ready to throw in the towel. Just wondering if others have left MT and worked at Burger King or places like that? Thanks!

King and Prince is wonderful but pricey
Jeckyl Island has more beach than St. Simons and has more to do. St. Simons only has 1 or 2 places to stay on the beach, with K&P being the nicest and ON the beach. If you want the same experience, I would recommend staying on Jeckyl Island as you can always drive over to St. Simons as they are so close. The village on St. Simons is wonderful. Plan a whole day to spend there. Jeckyl has more to do "family style" but you can rent bikes and explore the entire island in a few hours. There are some places with wonderful snap shot opportunities (I have one from Jeckyl Island of a full moon rising over the Atlantic through tree branches as my screen saver). I went in October one year during a hurricane and playing golf on St. Simons was an adventure!! People thought we were crazy to be out there, but we had fun.

Coretta Scott King passed away overnight....sm
While she was in poor health since having her heart attack and stroke a few months ago it's still sad to see a legend pass away. I'm sure that her kids fighting over whether or not they should try to get the government to buy the King Center and 2 kids stealing money from the center didn't help any.
May she rest in peace.
What is the Stand about? Gave up King a long time ago.
I just got bored with his stuff. Is this really that good?

Hahaha You mean a wooden nickel -- worthless! Hahaha
:)
those are exceptions to the rule and those are KING-PIN drug dealers, not the middle men who run
the drugs. If you have an EDUCATION and make enough money you don't have to deal drugs. The kids in ghettos running the drugs who are getting busted are doing this because they have no education and nothing else to do to make money. THEM's the proven statistics.
You are talking about apples and oranges. Yeah there is a temporarily rich meth guy living in a nice house but the majority of the rich guys are using punk kids with no education to sell the drugs. They aren't their on the corner in the ghetto dealing their own drugs.

Getting evicted.
