Taking my car in for service & heard it on the radio...

I caught the tail end of the report, but wasn't exactly sure what they were talking about so switched to an AM news station. By that time the second plane had hit and the reporter at the scene was practically hysterical, saying, "You're not listening to me. Another plane just hit the second tower!"
Then while my car was being worked on, the TV in the waiting room was on CNN or one of those channels and I watched at least the first tower fall from there and just remember thinking "I can't believe this is happening." I guess I was in shock, because I didn't cry until the memorial service at the National Cathedral was televised several days later.

i'd be afraid I would type what I heard on the radio
When I worked in-house my manager and a coworker were having a conversation and I typed a couple sentences of it without realizing.
Heard his song on the radio-it's a hit-Go Taylor
  
Driving my kids to school. Heard it on the radio, Bob and Tom. sm
I never heard them be more serious than that day. The whole day is still bright in my mind. I remember everything that happened, where I was and what I did. I will never forget it.
I heard on the radio 23 states still have paddling in schools or physical discipline.
Does anyone's kids go to a school district where this is in place? I was shocked. I remember hearing rumors in middle school 20 years ago or so that they would paddle you, but I had no idea this was going on. I was shocked.
I have not heard of Comcast phone service
It sounds like a good idea. If service goes down, it is never for long. And most people also have a cell phone for back up.
How much are we talking about? Hmmm?
I've never heard of sales tax being charged for a service, only
for a tangible product.
No such luck. The tech wants me to update to the XP service pack 2, but I've heard that can be tr

We have decided to add this to our current service not have a new service. It will be easier to sm
keep track of and will just be a different department.
It looks like we will work out details over the next 6 months, talking with community college program directors as well as a few of the distance-learning course leaders to work on the recruiting end.
We will train current staff to mentor if they would like to do so and want to work in the office.
We are still working on production requirements, goals to set, pay, benefits and other fine details but we have 6 months to get it all in place with three months to pull it together after that with a tentative start date of 09/01/06. We need to build the building as well, although that is already at the blueprint stage in a spot next to our current office.
We did not want to cause flames and bashing by listing the company name as there are always so many negative people on this site, but we are national with over 200 transcriptionists, located outside of Chicago (40 miles west) and have the best team of transcriptionists around!
We will have an "official" announcement after the first of the new year.
Thank you for all of your feedback and suggestions!
My telephone service is VOIP, but it s through my cable service, along with my cable internet. .
We have had VOIP for about a year now and I love it. I really can't tell a difference in traditional service, except the price. One of the best calls of my life was to Bellsouth to cancel our service!
I am not asking for a service, I AM the service looking for recorders

I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
radio
My treadmill is still buried, but it is also a resolution of mine. :)
Ask hubby if he will wear a headset. Unlikely, I know. I wouldn't want to. Does his radio have an antennae? or is it hooked into cable. Ours, once hooked into cable, got way less static. Best of luck!!
Sorry should have said he was on radio
here and every now and then has a television special. Great guy!
Why? No different than a radio or any other

Radio Shack
I have 3 pedals hooked up and needed another serial port. Radio Shack has the adapter you plug into your USB for about 20.00. Worked like a charm. The only tricky part is finding the right port listed in the program you are using.
Listen to him on radio
I sometimes listen to him while doing my late afternoon pick-up and deliveries on the radio. I have also found out that a lot of time giving praise and appreciation to them when they do the job -- even though it is not to our satisfaction or as well as we can --gives them incentive to do more. We don't like to be cut down all the time and have to re-do and so even though it may not be up to my standards I try to let the kids know that I appreciate it -- unless of course they have done a poor job on purpose -- another subject.
Radio Shack
They sell a very inexpensive adapter for serial and/or game port to USB. Mine works fine with Dictaphone EXText, eScription EditScript, etc. I think I paid $10 for it at a local store.
You can search radio shack online and see if your local store has them in stock or can get them. many many new computers are going to exclusively USB ports, no more serial or parallel
radio shack has it all.

Might try Radio Shack. n,

I got one at Radio Shack
I told them what I wanted. It was a little plug-in and to switch from one computer to the other, I just hit ScrLk 2 times. Super easy to hook up and super cheap too!
try radio shack..
Try radio shack...for the past 4 or 5 days have been having very poor quality voice out of the blue - couldn't figure if it was my computer or phone lines or the client - but for 19.95 from R Shack I have ordered a head set that covers over background noise and also has a low/hi volume control, which I think I will really like...will let you know how it is when I get it if you are still having problems...the radio shack guy said he had 3 orders before mine...so maybe the MT world was aware they were on sale...Good Luck!
Did you try Radio Shack????
They have those adapters and they're cheap. They have all KINDS of adapters. Also replacement foams of various types.
sirrius radio help
My husband has it in his car and I would like to listen at home, called customer service and the person had a limited knowledge of English so I had trouble understanding her. (Went to their website). Do I need an antenna and special radio or what? It sounds like the price is inclusive once I get the equipment for the home radio. Thanks
I listen to Dr. Joy Brown sometimes on the radio
e-mail her or call her and see what she says. She gives pretty good advice and is FREE!!
If you can be positive about this relationship, you can be positive about yourself and meeting someone else. Remember, your gut feeling is what's right, and I think I know what your gut is telling you or you wouldn't be posting this in the first place, you just need someone to back you up. Don't waste any more time. & don't talk about THE REST OF YOUR LIFE -- you have choices you can make in this too as much as he has the choice to do/not do something -- it's just that you have the choice to stay in this stagnent pool of muck or get out, clean yourself off and never return to the dirty pool. Who knows what the future holds for you, but if you stay with him it will just be this same cycle over and over again, unfortunately. I say cut your losses now.

On Hannity on radio just now - weatherman said will be 4/maybe 5 and hit
That was what was on Hannity's radio show at 3:00 p.m. central time when he was interviewing a weatherman who has been in the business since 1978 and whose dad graduted in 1965 from Texas A&M in weather - so he has sure studied weather a long time (he says since he was 5 yo).
Something to think about.
i have found that radio shack has
several adapters to choose from to convert to a USB port. with each newer version of computers they seem to be cutting out the older types of ports (like used for older foot pedals/game ports, etc) and using "s" connections, usb, etc. the computer that I have from 1995 has different ports than the tower I bought last summer and my laptop that I bought last summer so I have to use an adapter and everything is fine.
radio shack; have bought several there nm

You might try a filter that you can get from Radio Shack.
It is probably just interference from something in your neighborhood, perhaps a ham operator or something like that?
We love our Bose radio too
We also just hooked up an external CD player to our Bose radio and you get the Bose sound quality that way. They are a great sound in a tiny pkg.!
Radio Shack in Portland, OR has them -- nm
Found them there
Radio Shack headphones
Yes, several people are recommending those Radio Shack Koss headphones (I am getting some emails too). It looks like those might be the ones to try!
When I was on-site I listened to the radio
not loud though, but there were so many other distractions. Now that I am at home, I enjoy the peace and quiet. We do not live on a busy street, so it is a nice change of pace for me. 
Radio Shack carries them. nm

I use DVI too and got an adapter at Radio Shack
for about 17.00. You can check in-store stock on-line to see if a local store may have one.
Radio Shack has lots of different ones. nm

There are Sony ones at Radio Shack sm
that were suggested to me so I bought a pair. They are silver and look sort of like Spock ears when you have them on. I think they come with a year warranty or maybe I bought that for a few cents, can't remember now. I really like those.
Got mine at Radio Shack
I have bought them from Office Depot many times as well. My recent ones came from Radio Shack and are Presidian noise cancelling headphones. I love them.
Background (radio), but I would love to know
if you can have it on your computer, headset, while working. I do not know how to do that, but it would be great to have classical in the background of the dictators!
See my post above about Pandora Radio - sm
I listen to it through my headphones in the background of my dictation.
The volume can be adjusted separately from your dictation and you can pause it if you need to.
I can't even begin to tell you all the choices they have for music. Classical, rock, punk, techno, new age, everything you could possibly imagine... Even Christmas music.
Love my satellite radio
I got my husband one for Christmas two years ago. We actually got the plan for life so we paid, I think $400 or so, and we'll never have to pay for it again. I also have it in my car (it came with it for free for one year). It has so many great stations, something for everyone. I highly recommend it.
The only radio station that plays the music you like is an

Did anyone hear the discussion on radio last night about (sm)
If this evolves as planned, there will be no typing at all by 2010. 
I can't stand a TV or radio on while I transcribe, almost anywhere in the house.

I have a Radio Shack one that was on sale for about $79 but it usuallySM
is around $100 -- a portable one that I bought a power supply for.
I hear everything. Fires, fights, rapes, hostage situations (YES!), wrecks, stabbings, shootings, mean dogs - you name it. I sleep to it.
How lame is that? LOL. I will readily admit I have NO LIFE.
Anyone know of any good internet radio stations or
sites that play random music videos? I am getting sick of my own radio stations and am looking for a couple of new ones to listen to while I work. Top 40 or 70's through today.
Try moving the radio to another area of the room--
so both electrical signals won't be crossing.
My daughter head on the radio yesterday
that Constatine M. is dating Kelly Pickler. Maybe that is why he was in the audience. Did you also see Jasmine in the audience?
I always have satellite radio playing in the background. sm
There's a good variety of relaxing music. I have it on even when I'm not transcribing.
I think it also relaxes my dogs cause they sure sleep well when it's on:)
transcriptiongear.com might have it or even Radio Shack on line. nm
