I bet that eneded on a sour note!!

sorry......couldn't resist!! 

Can't really say it's the thought that counts with something like that, huh?  What  a kick in the nuts. 

The sad part is, I felt guilty asking but I feel cornered.  I'm the sole support of my busted-a$$ 2-member household and the oil tank is empty, has been since last winter, and the cost of firewood went up, food went up, electricity, etc.  I'm watching my little American Dream go right down the crapper and frankly it's scaring the heck out of me.  Someone was mentioning abdominal pains the other day on here...I haven't poo'd in about a week--I kid you not.  I get so jealous when I hear others say they only have to work part-time or not work at all because hubby brings in the cash and bennies, but I'm really just wishing I could be them! 

Oh well.  At least we got dental benefits so now I can almost afford to get my teeth looked at for the first time in 20 years!  Only lost one in the interim! 

I worked for hospitals on Long Island in the early 1980s, and I was getting $8.00 per hour with benefits. And in those days, you didn't have to pay for medical insurance.

How do you make any money???? Typing and shortcuts is not the problem but trying to figure out some of what the dictators are saying is time consuming... How do you make money????????????

Though I love the research and find this interesting 40.00 a day is not going to cut it... Does it get better?????  I feel stupid !!!!!!!!!!!!!

GYN HISTORY

G2, P2.  Her pregnancies were uncomplicated.  She has not seen a gynecologist in over two years, but she does get her mammogram daily.    Uhhh.... I don't think so Mr. MD!!!   You couldn't get me to do that daily if ya paid me!

and it was a pretty good plan -- Affordablue -- had a $25 copay for office visits or something like that.  That was just a single plan, though.  It included dental coverage too, bot other than covering for routine cleaning and such, it was kind of useless when paying for crowns and other "big" items.

Sounds like you have a good deal.  Fortunately, I am working for Transtech now and have affordable insurance .. whew! 

my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away!  I checked and the Type It button is grayed out!  I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies.  Can anyone please help me ASAP?  I am lost without it!  TIA

But this article states it would only affect new customers right now.  So I am upset over nothing.  I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge.  I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me.  It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc.  It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.

I don't think I'd make it down south.  We had high 90s with humidity for 16 days straight and that was bad enough.  Glad it is cool again. 

e-mail because of the high prices and this a national boycott. Wondering if anyone else received or heard this.

Just did 1343 lines in 170 minutes but that includes printing, 24 envelopes, looking up names, getting on here three times, doing 3 E-mails to my subcontractor -- at 0.11 per gross line.  So I am happy today.

DOCTOR:  "Please send a CC to her primary care physician.  I do not know who that is, but send him or her a copy anyway."

No other reports exist for this patient.

Yes, in my spare time I'm a psychic! 

Recently I had to do a lot of paperwork to enroll my youngest in kindergarten for the 2007-2008 school year.  They ask all sorts of questions about family history and specifically who has diabetes, heart disease, blindness, etc.  Does this not violate the HIPAA laws?  Do I have permission to disclose my grandmother’s health problems to the school?  Or my mother’s and father’s?  I never really thought about it when I enrolled my older child because I wasn’t a MT at the time and I never really had knowledge about HIPAA in those days.  What do you all think about this? 

Living paycheck to paycheck these days with the cost of living  being so hight and DH being on disability.  Today I get my check in the mail – national company—and it does not have a signature on it!  I called the office – of course the payroll department had left for the day – it was only 3 something in the afternoon.  I was told to physically mail the check back to be signed and they would return it right away.  Why not just cut me a new check and mail overnight?  Really sick of this place lately.  Never did get any resolution of the 60 odd lines I was cheated out of before only weeks ago.  Lost a few days work over the last week because the system crashed.  *Sigh* I just started a new job on the side.  Hope this one has a better track record. 

do want me to start out PT and then after a time, a month or so, would bring me on board full time, if all goes well.  This will be at $15.00/hr.  I'm excited--this is not what a lot of you make, I'm sure, but it's more (consistently) per hour than I've ever made before.  Keeping my fingers crossed it will work out!

Thanks for the replies!
