Expensive and if lost very expensive
Very expensive and if ever lost would cost me the account. Also I have several docs that are very strict about HIPAA compliance and I am sure that they would not go for this. One would not even let one of the front office gals take home the tapes over the weekend so I could pick up on Sunday and get some of it done over the weekend due to HIPAA so am fairly confident that they would not go for this. So we will see what they say when I tell them I am taking a week off. I do have some gals that will help cover, it is the accounts that hate to have anyone else do it. But I refuse to digital and take my laptop with me to do accounts. I have never and wll never do that while on vacation and they know it.
Vacuum
I have a Hoover Fusion and just love it. I have a long-hair cat and a 13-year-old and I cannot believe the sunction on this vacuum. It comes with many attachments. It is bagless and very easy to empty from the bottom. I believe they have it at Walmart for around $139.00. Highly recommend it.

 I recently bought the Eureka Boss, cannister, for $75 at Big Lots - what a bargain and I love it.
Dyson 4 me
I recently bought a new Dyson from Best Buy and absolutely love it! I had a Fantom before, and it was much heavier and I kept getting it jammed.
Dyson
I am surprised you had trouble with it picking up stones/pebbles. We have lots of sand here in North Carolina where I live. I mean, lots, it is basically in all the ground around here and tracks in every day, in the house and in the vehicles. It does a very good job cleaning that up as I have a dark rug that I vacuum on a near daily basis. Sorry it didn't work for you. I have the yellow one. I think the purple one may be geared for actual animal hair, but so far I have not had any trouble with the one I have.
Dyson
I absolutely love my Dyson! There was a time though when I first got it that I accidentally had it on Hard Floor Cleaning instead of Carpet Cleaning and I was disappointed because I thought it wasn't picking up from the carpet as well, but then I realized I had it on Floor Cleaning instead -- and when I switched it back to Carpet Cleaning, it worked wonderfully! I am absolutely amazed how well it picks up debris from even my oriental rugs -- and some are hard to clean -- things stick to them easily! I'm surprised you had problems moving it around. I had a Fantom Thunder before this, and THAT was awful wrestling with. I think the Dyson is much lighter and easier to maneuver.
Where can I get this vacuum system? NM

I love my Dyson too. Best I have ever used!

Not Jo, but I own a Dyson and have shih tzu
I have had 4 shih tzu and they just do not shed. I have never seen a shih tzu shed, but either way, they do romp on a wool carpet and the carpet gets balls on it and the wool will shed. I got the pet Dyson and it gets deep into the carpet. It is worth every cent of the money. I had a Fantom and the Fantom did nothing!! That's the difference. I sold my Fantom for almost nothing because that is what it was worth to me. The Dyson is top dog with me!
I LOVE my Dyson vac
We have a dog so we got the Dyson Animal vac. You wouldn't believe how much dirt & hair it sucks out of the carpet. Well worth the $500-600 IMO.
How does Dyson work on
it scratch the finish? Is there a separate attachment?
I was able to use a Dyson for about a week,
and I didn't like it at all. Wasn't picking up sand/pebbles well, and was cumbersome to use. I so wanted to like it, so I could feel good investing in one.
Glad it works for you, though!
vacuum cleaners -- value vs. cost?
Oreck? Wal-Mart versions? what do you know from experience?
Great Vacuum Cleaner
Riccar Vacuum Cleaners are the only way to go. Very strong suction. Easy to use.
I adore my Dyson. Will never buy another brand. sm
It runs circles around any other vacuum I've ever used (and I feel like I've tried them all).
When we get them, now and then, I just vacuum them up....takes care of the problem. - nm

My sister swears by her Dyson. Costly, 400+, but will last.

Need some good advice on a GREAT vacuum cleaner...sm
We vacuum at least twice daily because we bought carpet that tracks like you would not believe. We bought a Eureka bagless vacuum cleaner about 4 months ago and it is the pits! Does not pick up, you have to REALLY clean it every time...who knows what the real problem is...I would not mind paying good money for a GOOD vacuum cleaner that does not lose suction...Any ideas?
Any suggestions on a good Vacuum at a reasonable price?
I would love to have a Dyson but they are a little over my budget. Thanks!
Vacuum it out or blow it out. I also would pick mine up and drop it from about
4 feet. My boss at the time said she did the same thing.
Consumer Reports did not give the best rating to Dyson....
which surprised me. The top were Sears, which also surprised me. I just recently got the Sears bagless with HEPA filter for about $300 and I am EXTREMELY pleased with it. I could check on the model # if interested.
Can anywone recommend a good vacuum cleaner? My old one broke and has to be replaced. Thanks. NM

Vacuum the house a lot, garlic powder and brewer's yeast (not baking yeast) sm,,,
in all the dogs' food, and definitely give the little one a bath. You'll need to comb the fleas and their dander and eggs out wtih a flea comb. My dogs used to love this. During flea season, I'd get on the floor and comb them after dinner every night. Have a bowl of soapy water handy (with the flea soap if possible) and dip the comb in the bowl when you start and especially after you find the fleas (and ticks!) on the comb to drown them. Residual soap will help keep them off the pooch. Fleas congregate at the base of the tail and in the groin area. Get puppy used to combing and he/she will come to love it as part of normal grooming. An herbal flea collar might help, too. The other dogs will need to be watched for fleas, too. Good luck!
I'll go! I'll go!! I won't take hormones and will be ready to defend your honor :) n/m

They are expensive too but most of all very
dangerous. Just make sure you are careful with it because they are the main cause of deadly fires every year.......My mother-in-law uses them to supplement and it worries me so much when my kids spend the night.
and it is EXPENSIVE. nm

VERY expensive....to say the least...sm
It was a huge expense but well worth it because I believe wall-to-wall carpeting can be or become dangerous regarding medical conditions (poor breathing, asthma, mold, mildew, dirt hiding, etc.) living in a very hot climate. Also, someone very dear to my heart had died and left me some $ which I put directly into the floor, and now every time I even think about the flooring, I think about that person. It has humbled me....to say the very least.
MAN they are expensive!
Who can afford it?
Why so expensive?
And such a long wait list for the average person? Human beings should not have a price tag. What are they automobiles? Because if they are used (not infants) or have flaws they cost less you know. *Catholic Charities* adoption is expensive? What is that an oxymoron? I gave up on adoption a long time ago when I saw the celebs getting perfectly healthy newborn American children at the snap of a finger (and a fistful of cash) and I was told I may have better luck going overseas. What's next an auction with the paddles and all? I would not doubt it. It is disgusting.
Very very expensive to go through
Not sure it would be very easy to get the courts to use your service. I would do a great deal of checking into before jumping in. Good luck.
I know, they are expensive...
But they truly are WONDERFUL! The cord is about 5 feet long and while it wouldn't reach to my tower under my desk, I have them pluged into one of my speakers on my desk, so there's plenty of room that way.
EXPENSIVE
Very expensive to do work that you can do.
Not that expensive
Mine was right about $100 (Adjustable keyboard rest) and I have had it for 15+ years, and have never had carpal tunnel, very little backaches and have typed for as many as 12 to 14 hours a day. It has been well worth the money.
Expensive
It's pretty expensive, but a one-time cost would definitely be cheaper in the long run for these docs, which is why I think they are going this route.
You'll get used to it. It is keeping the right leg propped up at the same time that'll be the
When I broke my ankle, I was just grateful it wasn't the hands. Without our hands we'd be totally screwed.
I broke my right ankle slipping on ice and was lucky to have gloves on because the palm of the glove was totally torn up and my hand was okay.
Good luck and be sure to do your exercises when it is time.
Its not too expensive anymore, and i think...
that it's worth it. It could make the difference between a new client, and that in itself would pay for the cost of your website. I would suggest either of these services:
www.aplus.net or www.sitefever.com
The one about the expensive purse. Can't you tell? nm

It's not like it's all that expensive to prep either.
Just $5 a week dedicated to food storage adds up to a good prep supply in no time. 2 cans of tuna and a bag of rice and beans one week, powdered milk and a canned ham the next, etc. Water is free when you store it in 2-liter pop bottles, and relatively inexpensive if you buy gallon jugs at the store. An oil lamp is about $10 at WalMart, and 1 bottle of lamp oil is a couple of bucks. The DGIs (don't get its) are idiots and I absolutely abhor my tax dollars being spent on them. Of course, the elderly and infirm I begrudge nothing. I just wish they could be the only ones we had to spend money on.
I have to wonder if you live in an expensive...sm
area, perhaps a big city? I know my husband and I are planning on moving to a less expensive place to live and figure we can do much better that way. Maybe that is something you could consider.
why is insurance so expensive?
The end of November my husband had two cardiac stents put in. He was in the hospital from Wednesday late morning until Friday late morning. We had paid $300 to the hospital, which they said would be his part of the cost. The other day i received a bill from them. It indicated that after the insurance had paid, the balance was our responsibility. It very nicely noted that if we found it difficult to pay the entire amount in one payment, to please contact their office. The amount was $46,000-plus. I just laughed - oh, no problem, I'll just write a check out of my pin money. Of course, the bill wasn't really ours - the insurance hadn't paid at all - but just the fact that it was $46,000 blew me away. And, of course, that didn't include the doctor and any other ancillary personnal who will be billing the insurance company, too. Right now I am paying $460 a month for insurance for just myself. Thankfully I have recently become an employee and my insurance rate is going to be much better, but when atrocious prices such as these are charged, what can we expect other than higher insurance premiums and more and more employers handing off the cost of those premiums to the employees.
A mammogram isn't that expensive. I just had 2 and they were
$125 each, most of which I paid out of pocket due to insurance deductible. BC is usually very good about paying for preventative care, such as mammograms and Pap smears. The doctor should just submit the bill to BC for payment, this isn't something you need preapproval for.
Doc shuttle expensive?
Isn't it quite expensive to buy? Seems like you need to set up your transcriptionists as well as docs and buy software for each one, etc. Seems like you could just set up file folders on the FTP site for each account and then one for each Transcriptionist as you send out what they need to do. I don't know that much about it but one of my pysch accounts is going digital hopefully in July so needless to say I will be starting to learn some. But I used to work for a medium sized MTSO for overflow and they do not have a system like Doc Shuttle or Gear Player and just send out files to be transcribed and you send them back. If I am wrong let me know.
Isn't satellite expensive?
How much does satellite cost?

Kinesis, although it is expensive. nm

Pretty expensive, too.

Not EVERYWHERE in California is expensive
I live in a rural area near Napa. It's a LOT chaaper here (home prices and rent) than in SoCal where I moved from last summer. California is a big state, lots of places to settle down. Have to take time to really look.
A more expensive route...
is Best Buy. I called inquiring about a new computer and they all have Vista. But, they said for 130 bucks, you can have Windows XP installed. I was lucky that my son was willing to let me have his computer with XP as he had bought a new one a while back. Good luck.
