Maria, I don't have your e-mail. sm
I really was wondering how much training was needed for this. I'm just getting tired of the MT companies. I think they are all heading in the direction of hell. I don't want to be a court reporter or legal secretary. I just want to make enough money to live comfortably and have health insurance. Anyway, thanks so much for responding. I'm just sort of floundering around right now.
babe
Bruce Springsteen, Dave Navarro.
Yes, I will Babe....and also....sm
I have kept receipts for each year. I have about 10 boxes of tax returns/receipts and all that good stuff just in case I ever get audited.
If my CPA is not on vacation (most of them are)......as soon as I find out anything, I will come back in and let you know.
Thanks again !!!
Thanks Babe for responding....sm
Thanks for responding so quickly :) I don't know much about sole proprietorships except to say I file a schedule C for the private MDs and I do a regular 1040A for the national I work for. Speak to your CPA - you do live in NC and that's part of the SE region of the USA and maybe the laws coincide (are much the same). I don't know and I wish I could give you more info. Like I said, I take my 1099s and file a schedule C on my taxes at the same time I do a 1040A for the W2-W4 I receive from the national. It all works out and the IRS has never come after me. I'm very legal.
Be well hon and thanks again for the quick response.
Oh yes, I see the Santa Maria and the Penta floatin in now..

sorry babe, wrong girl

JVC fold up headphones
Hello,
I was at my local Big Lots (love that store) and found headphones. I purchased the Maxell behind the head headphones, and the sound quality is not that good. They also had the JVC collapsible headphones that sat on the head with a volume control box. They were a few dollars more. Before shelling out more bucks, I wanted to see if anyone had used these and if they were good. Are they comfortable and how is the sound? I've switched back and forth between the ear buds and behind the head styles. The ear buds irritate after a long time. In the past I've had headaches from having too-tight on-head headphones. Any input on the JVC collapsible on-head headphones in the bright colors (magenta, green, silver) would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!
I fold laundry while I'm zoned out watching TV.
I don't watch much TV anyway, because I can't stand sitting still doing nothing.
you're joking right? Celine? better than Babs?
Celine HURTS my ears! OUCH!
Celine. No contest. Besides, Babs is into politics now. :) nm
Yes Well Babs also made the statement at some awards..sm
to the effect... "The only regret I have in life is that none of my children were gay".... which obliterated any idea I may have had of her intelligence.... I am far from anti-gay, have many gay friends... relatives .... but the statement was without intelligence or common sense for that matter... and really no purpose other than drawing attention to a heated issue..... Celine has one of a kind ... flawless voice..
Big Lots usually has the fold out room dividers, too
nm
There are laundries that will wash/dry/fold by the pound sm
I have taken in Laundry Mountain and had it all finished for around $40. Of course it's going to be different wherever you are. It did get me caught up and I was able to keep up with it for quite a while.
Babs has a nasal voice. Never did care for her, even in her *prime*. nm
wow... sorry then... my memories are nothing like that. sm
Granted, I'm only in my early 30s, so maybe I don't go back to the 60s, but still... I never walked away feeling over-indulged. However, my parents worked hard and if they went on vacation, they took us, too... it's called being a family. We're not talking about going out to eat once in a while by yourselves... we're talking about a vacation. And, yeah, if my parents had taken off to Florida for a vacation without me, I'd have felt slighted, too. And, yes, I take my kids on vacation with me. If I go, they go. And you know what? I enjoy taking my kids. They're great people. Maybe if my kids were total snots, then I'd consider going without them, too. But I've raised my kids the right way... I respect them and they respect me. Sounds like maybe the original poster has been a little over-indulgent with her kids... not in terms of giving them too many vacations, but maybe not enforcing rules and respect....
Yes, wow, memories...sm
I used IBM Selectrics at most all jobs in the late 70's/early 80's. I remember transcribing for a clinic and there were about 40 girls in 2 big rooms. At that particular job, the "computer" was introduced and they replaced our electric typewriters (gasp, how were we going to get our work done?)! The "computers" were big, clunky things that were very scary looking. After being on them about a week, everybody loved them and we all felt our production improved tremendously. Just look at our computers now!
memories
My last real vacation was renting two condos along with my sisters and their children and my parents on the beautiful Gulf of Mississippi and New Orleans in 2000. This was the last vacation with my father (Died 10/15/00 of cancer) and Katrina blew away Long Beach. So glad I went. Actually argued about the trip. I wanted to go to Stone Mountain outside ATL. I am so glad we did this family trip. The memories are priceless.
The memories she will have (sm)
are the most precious things. Remember that through it all as you juggle this. You are giving her something money can't buy.
Oh, such lovely memories of you
I like the way you sign your name "my goodness" makes me think of the other night when you went to take a toke of my stogie you said the same thing "My goodness, Frank, you are are......" you know the rest my dear.
Thanks for the memories, RadGuy!
Need to find my Diablo disk.
Oh the memories! haha nm

I have fond memories of transcribing on sm
Selectric typewriters with 6 carbons, all of which had to be erased if there was a typo or, more likely, a dictator's changes. If a doc's dictation stumped us, he (very few females then) would get a tug on his sleeve, asked to listen to what he said and explain. Having worked in a teaching institution, these doctors were more than happy to impart their knowledge to anyone who would listen.
Then came the mag card machines, then computers.
The dictation I listened to on IBM belts, then tapes, was a lot clearer than most of the digital dictation I'm subjected to now.
And no MTs worked on Sundays and holidays, and certainly not every Saturday.
Man did you bring back the memories for me
Mine was silver with a black vinyl roof. I paid more for the wheels and tires then I did for the car!!! Had it re-painted and LOVED it. Only girl who could drive a stick and was proud of it. teehee! Them were the days!
Memories...EDiX did that to my hospital. SM
My family came upon some very hard times when I went with EDiX, but that's not to say Spheris is the same way.
Don't count on your line count being the same. It sure wasn't when I transitioned.
This brought back some memories...
I was once approached in a Barnes & Noble AND a laudromat! LOL
Now that brings back memories!! (sm)
Yes we have come a long way since pre IMB electric typewriters. Seriously I use to use a manual carriage return. That is how far I go back... Scary though. I really do like the progess we have made. Although we worked then!! No office chit chat, no line counts, no productivity standards, you just typed your 8 hours and clocked out. There is something to be said for that.
POLL: childhood memories
Remember mickey mouse ice cream bars? They were shaped like mickey's head and the face was vanilla ice creame with chocolate ice cream for eyes and mouth. His ears were chocolate covered. I don't think they make them anymore. What treats do you miss that you can no longer find?
Broken tape memories
One of my docs about 15 years ago broke a tape and he spent more time putting the tape back together than it would have been if he had redictated. Another time, the same doc walked in my office and handed me the tape while I was running a finished tape through the little erase box and I immediately took it out of his hand and erased it right in front of him. I almost died. He always dictated on half speed to get more on a tape. What would you have done if you did that?
Because people have short memories. - sm
In order for anything positive to ever come out of this, then the subject of the AHDI ripoff of American workers has to be brought up and re-brought-up again and again and again and again, until we are finally able to drive it home, not only with ALL MT's (not just the few who don't have their heads in the sand), but also with the lawmakers in this country. If the issue begins to affect THEM, then they might finally listen. But the message has to be repeated incessantly in order to get anyone's attention.
LOL Thanks for the memories or should I say nightmares. Does anyone remember the old dreaded
erase pencil with an eraser on one side and a brush on the other, with the black or blue carbon paper?!!! I can't believe 27 years have flown by so quick LOLLLL!!!
Boy, you brought back memories. I remember crying too and thinking I'd never get it that first y

Brings back memories! I had a computer fan that sounded like a mini helicopter! Kept
calling my company and having them "listen". They weren't concerned. It did actually blow up one day - a little mini "poof" of fire, 2 seconds of light smelly smoke, and she was dead!! A goner! Never heard it before, never heard it after, but one did make noise and it died a month later!
