Almost Gobbler Day. Who is cooking and who is going out to dinner? Myself cooking. (sm)
We usually have everyone bring a dish of some sorts. Large family, probably about 30 plus. Set up 3 extra tables in the garage for smokers and cardplayers and have a great day stuffing ourselves.
Looking for different side dishes, suggestions anyone?
Cleaning up after one's self and cleaning up after strangers are two different issues
Nice try though
Either way, in the end this is what it turns out
to be. I never check any reports I do, do spell check and it goes. I do not believe even when first starting I reread any reports. I had ShortHand in school (yeh that long ago) and I can almost on full speed keep up with every dictator I do because hearing and typing and keeping the new in the background really helps me. Like I said unless you are typing and fast, most places are not giving raises, lowering the price for us and overall the business has gone downhill.
it turns out
that my Word client was corrupted. The tech at Dictaphone says it happens now and again with Microsoft (oh really??). She rebuilt it and did made some adjustments.
Keeping my fingers crossed!
My three dogs take turns....
It's annoying but kind of cute. One is a puppy and chewed through two DSL phone cords before I caught on....the part husky always catches cords and the whole computer will jerk around on my desk....third dog is dainty and careful.
Andrews turns out the best MTs!
They are "client ready" and have great success.
Legal issue. Please let us know how this one turns out? nm
:)
Sure hope none of your kids turns out to be gay!
What a great, supportive mom you would be. NOT!
It seems turning that off sorta turns it into XP. LOL! nm

Done that, but it turns back off every time.
Is there a trick to keeping it on? Or did I maybe get the one messed up program?
Foot pedal turns off headphone
jack. Speakers work fine. If I reboot and don't use the pedal, the headphone works. Any ideas?
Thanks
Need Company that Turns Telephone Dictation into WAV/DSS Files
Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good company that will take my client's telephone dictation and convert them into WAV or DSS files that I can then access and transcribe?. A company that has good pricing and is reliable. I probably won't have a huge volume to start. Thank you.

I am trying Paula's banana/ham casserole tonight. Will let ya'll know how it turns out...nm

We actually takes turns going downstairs to "play" usually. My husband doesnt like gambling as
watch a movie or something. I normally wait until they go to bed before I go downstairs as I'm a night owl and hubby is not. During the day, I take our son swimming etc..and let dad have fun. We just alternate basically and also some of the hotels offer babysitters for a fee and I believe MGM Grand has a kid's program or at least they did. Some day we hope to be able to get a nanny that can travel with us. We have gone on a few cruises also with our son and he loves that so that is how we normally spend our vacations with him. We go Carnival as they have an excellent kid's program. We're travelers and now our son is..getting hard though because when he asks about vacations he says, "are we going to Hawaii, Bahamas, or Carribean." I can remember growing up having NO vacations. vacation was just getting out of school for the summer. Probably setting the bar too high.. LOL .Yeah, it also occured to us that we'd be like 60 or so before he is out of school and since we've been raising kids forever..we decided we wanted to take vacations with them and before we're too old to enjoy it..None of that wanting until retirement to travel for us.. We know people who put off "living" until they retire and then they cant take heat, walking long distances, or just having fun!! Our motto..Have kids.. will travel..LOL
Well, since he does most of the cooking..
Maybe let him make their dinner and you make yours! That's what I would do. I would not give up my meals for two spoiled rotten kids ;)
cooking in crock pot right now
Either beef stew meat OR a chuck, whatever. One can cream of celery, one can cream of mushroom and one can french onion. Don't have do do a thing. Delicious
I'm cooking. Daughter and son-in-law,
son, husband and myself will be spending Thanksgiving together (after my son and I get off work).
Yes, and I'm the one cooking the turkey
Don't think my guests would appreciate a "tofu turkey". I will do the whole traditional meal and those who choose not to eat the turkey will still have plenty.
How do you get rid of cooking smells?
I've about had it with cooking any beef or pork at all. Even cooking with hot oil.
I cannot get the lingering odors out. I wash the pots and pans, put up the leftovers immediately, clean the stove and all surfaces but it just lingers.
Does anyone have a solution?
Ever try cooking a meal in someone else's kitchen? sm
You know how to cook, but have a tough time finding where everything is kept in that kitchen so it takes a while longer. You could cook the same thing in your own familiar kitchen in half the time. This goes for MT, too. It takes a long time, even for those of us who have been transcribing half our lives, to get used to new formats, new work type codes, new voices, and learning idiosyncrasies for each and every dictator. It takes time--a few months or more. Be patient, and the line counts will surely add up as you become more familiar with the account.
son cooking steak and shrimp
what a treat. Someone else cooking for a change.
Make my own. Cooking's a hobby.
I'd almost like to be a caterer or chef, but I don't like working evenings or weekends. LOL
MIL is cooking it- IN- I did it for the first time last year, also IN-

Well, I messed that up, meant to say DH is cooking

We're cooking out today....sm
went to the zoo yesterday and did yard chores.
LOL! Possibly my husband's cooking?
You should see some of my personal medical reports other people have transcribed. Jeesh, can I sue as a patient for such poorly transcribed reports? Thanks for the laugh...
Meat cooking is harder, IMHO
Remebering my childhood as an animal eater, I think it is harder cooking for meat eaters and way more expensive than vegetarian foods.
What are you cooking for 4th of July? Recipes encouraged please!

I do not think it is in the help menu, not sure though.

Menu
For crunchy snacks - pork rinds.
I ate a lot of eggs (whites), omelets, tuna, chicken, meats in general, hot dogs, cheese and fresh veggies of most sorts and salads.
Sandwiches were made inside of leaves of lettuce and rolled instead of bread, and after induction, low-carb tortillas, and I never missed the bread either.
After induction, you can munch on things like walnuts, pecans, and macademia nuts and all berries.for snacks.
Oh, while on induction, I ate a TON of sugar-free jello with home-made whipped cream whipped with Splenda. That really satisfied my sweet tooth.
I had to go on the Atkins because my cholesterol was high and because I had arthritis, my doc didn't want me to go on Statin drugs as that makes muscle aches/pains a thousand times worse
After the diet, I lost a lot of weight and sure enough, my cholesterol leveled out beautifully. I also felt a thousand times better on this diet and had more energy.
I'm getting ready to go on it again....
Good luck on your diet.

Don't be afraid of it. It's really hard to mess up Oriental cooking.
Here are the links to the recipes that I printed off of Google. (I love the Internet! No more cookbooks, only Google for recipes.) I cheated on the plum sauce by buying a jar because our plums aren't quite ripe yet. Buy the egg roll skins instead of trying to make your own, too.

For the fried rice, you can use any type of rice. I use brown basmati or jasmine rice mostly. You can also throw in extra vegetables and leftover meats (pork, beef, chicken) to make a meal out of it instead of a side dish. I like those Oriental pea pods, bok choy, water chestnuts, baby corn, and Chinese cabbage.

I'm going to combine and modify the eggroll recipes so I have shrimp/pork egg rolls. I use canola oil instead of vegetable, peanut, or sesame oil. I don't care for sesame seeds or bamboo sprouts, so I add extra water chestnuts. Use frozen or fresh instead of canned crab or shrimp. Use diced, boneless pork chops instead of ground pork or sausage.

Usually I just have coffee. Sometimes I'll have oatmeal. Today, DH is cooking again!
We're having breakfast "hash" with scrambled eggs, ham, hash browns, cheese, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and red pepper in one skillet. Whole wheat toast and chipotle Tabasco.
Oh, me too!!! When I got my first microwave (very expensive) we all watched the bacon cooking.

I've tried mayo cooking fish - DELISH (sm)
for cholesterol-watching husband, JUST DON'T TELL HIM - he'll never know
except I love cooking w/alcohol/wine in sauces!!
.
I think it'll be Make-you-own night. I don't feel like cooking either. (nm)

The left Menu....
The left Menu is actually a javascript for fast loading of pages. Your browser's scripting is disabled.
Go to "Tools -> Internet Options..." from the main menu of Internet Explorer.
Change to the "Security" tab
Select "Custom Level".
Make sure "Enable" is selected under "Active scripting"
Restart the browser.
If above doesn't work, run some Spyware or Anti-virus, because most of the viruses and Trojans stops the javascript in first place.
The menu bar is back. THANK YOU!!!
Not sure why the Alt+V and other suggestions didn't work but maybe it's because I needed to download the service packs after un/reinstalling Word. I also somehow managed to make RTF format the default in Word, but don't know how. In any case, I just thank you all so much for the help. It was such a frustrating thing to deal with and sucked the whole day away. I'm so happy that I can look forward to a productive day today, thanks to everyone here. 
I'm always looking to add to our network of ICs, and especially seek out generous, cooperative transcriptionists like you folks here . We have a private board that runs on that kind of spirit and as a result we really have an awesome team. If any of you needs another company to work with, please be sure to email me (and be sure to mention this thread).
Our menu's very similar to yours
Were having Taco Bell tacos, cheetos, and Star Bucks Carmel Machalatas (I think I spelled that right, but it's those ice cold carmel coffee drinks they make. They go great with Tacos.
My menu says #2 is pause...
I have only been using a C-phone for a week and haven't even tried all the menu options, including this one! But that's what my menu says. If you need more info you can e-mail me. Good luck!
Start menu
Go to control panel, click on "Task Bar & Start Menu", check the box that says show the clock and apply.
Yeah, I'd have to let them start helping with the cooking to learn some appreciation (sm)
"Sounds mean but I came from a family of 7 that had only 1 income and we ate what was put on the table and if we complained too much then we had liver and spinach the next night. "
That's hilarious! Your parents were smart! I grew up the same way, except that spinach was one veggie we liked, and mom only made liver twice a year because she hated it herself.
Add cheeseburgers and wine to the menu! nm

I go to alt-E and bring up the expansion menu sm
then I add a new header in there. That way, the new header created will be saved and usable in future reports. Maybe there is a better way - I do not claim to be a DQS genius, but this does work for me
Moving menu bars
You may have just moved it - try moving your other toolbars around, see if it comes back. I've done the same thing in the past!
Where in the Help menu did you find the ctrl k tip?

What's on the menu for din-din tonight? I'm making...
Chicken and sage dumplings and tossed salad with Roqufurt (sp?) dressing...
Next? 
Well, my husband and I rule the menu here.
We're sure not going to let the kids do it, otherwise it would be pizza, tacos, and hot dogs daily and everyone would keel over from clogged arteries at the age of 30! Beside, like Kikki said, it's not good to let the kids call the shots. That's why the good Lord made parents!
No one said the kids should rule the menu
But if you love your kids then you understand that they are people too, with their own tastebuds. Just because they might have a suggestion doesn't automatically make it JUNK. Just different.
Trust me, my kids know who the boss is. Geez!!!!!
On the menu...pork roast w/
mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. The pork roast is in the crock pot slow roasting all day while I work my fingers to the bone!! It will be served with homemade mashers with brown gravey and mixed veggies.uuuummmmm!! Can't wait til dinner. ;)
