Is or has anyone worked on the platform of virtual transcription?  I know it requires a different wavpedal than I currently have, but other than that I know nothing about it and have not been successful in finding out anything before I start.  Can anyone give me a heads up?

We have tried a few different ways.  My son who is currently in 5th grade was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome/high-functioning autism.  The public schools cannot seem to work with him.  We have done the traditional homeschooling route, which has its pros and cons.  There are several virtual schools around now, public schooling, but done at home by the parents, check out www.k12.com to see the options in the different states.  We attended one in Pennsylvania for 2 years and are going to be in the Florida one this year.  My son loves the curriculum.  Good luck!

DH just took me to my favorite beach for a quick vacation.   It is Shell Island in NC (basically Wrightsville Beach, but the end at Mason Inlet)

We arrived at Shell Island resort and discovered our room was on the 9th (top) floor.  PERFECT!  The dogs were staying with the in-laws in nearby Wilmington, so no worries there.

The temperature on Thursday was 82 degrees.  The water was 81 degrees.   People were few.  We walked down to the inlet, where the surf is all disorganized with no crashing waves.  The water stays shallow for a long way out, only knee deep to waist deep.  I floated out there, often walking along on my hands, with the swirling water gently pushing me this way and that.   Seagulls called to us.  Pelicans did their gliding flight just inches above the water. 

After our ocean swim we got in the pool.  Then we laid out on the chaise lounge chairs to dry.  The ocean breeze gently buffeted us in a lazy fashion until we were nearly dry and went in.

We went back to the room and I sorted my shells out on a table on the deck.  Seagulls came by to try to entice me to throw food.  Now and then, pelicans in V formation would glide right by me, so close I could have reached out and touched the feathers of the nearest member. 

We went out to The Oceanic restaurant.  I had the Oceanic Platter with broiled fish, fabulous scallops, shrimp, and a crab cake that rivaled those in Baltimore.   It was all fabulous.

I had a fabulous time.   Vacations are good. 

Has anyone done this?  It looks good....but I need to know before I spend the money. 

Thanks.

Virtual Line w/ Personal Ring - $3.00/mo.

Virtual Line With Personal Ring allows you to assign up to 3 directory numbers to the same equipment and telephone line.  Each number has a distinctive ring so you know which number is receiving a call. If 1of the numbers is being used, the other number(s) will appear busy to callers. If you subscribe to Call Waiting, each number has a distinctive call waiting tone to identify which number is receiving a call.

You could do all kinds of stuff (do a Google search under virtual assistant, there are some webpages that explain stuff).  U-Haul I believe also hires people to do phone customer service from home.  If you look on guru . com they have people who advertise for odd jobs and lots of them are virtual assistant kind of stuff.

Just some ideas.  You could also do daycare, pampered chef, that kind of stuff.  :)

I have the best job I've ever had in my life, and it came from friends on the board. Every job I get is the same way. Word of mouth. I have only filled out one application for employment since 1983 and I already had the job.

They really are out there and it sounds like you are qualified. Are you wanting full time or part time?

Have a show like Candida Camera where a resident spends an hour with a patient that he doesn't understand.  When the doctor asks where the pain is the patient can point to his chest and as soon as the MD starts listening to the chest, the patient can change his mind and tell him the pain is in the back.  When he goes to the back, the patient can tell him, "no wait, in the stomach".  He can give him a list of medicines all spelled wrong and dosages all wrong.  Then when the doctor is giving him instructions, the patient can start talking on his cellphone, making the doctor sit and wait while the patient talks to someone else.

Or....

In another episode of Candida Camera, show a physician talking to consulting doctor who speaks a number of different dialects or a doctor who talks a million milds a minute in half-syllable words.  Watch Dr. A try to understand what Dr. B as he makes up words, lab tests, and diagnoses. 

Homeschooling with others in a network is a little different than just plain homeschooling. 

So, how do these children learn to pick their battles?  Do you as a homeschooling parent throw an eraser at them once in a while or pass a love note? 

I'm not so sure I understand.  

Your Wii is interfering with the wireless network. We just purchased home theater system and were considering the wireless speakers. When I asked the salesman about possible intereference with the wireless network, he said that is a problem and we decided instead to go with the wired speakers.

I'm not an expert in this field but you could try checking with someone like the Geek Squad or Firedog at Circuit City to be certain.

Hello, I was curious if anyone out in MT land would be interested in starting a new MT mentoring program with me. I'm not advertising or anything like that, I just have an idea that I would like to have a sort of email network that new MTs (or experienced ones too) might be able to email me their question and I would have a group of MTs I could email the question out to who could respond if they knew the answer. Does that make sense? This would be a free service just to help fellow MTs out.

I think this is something that would be invaluable to new (or old) MTs because I remember being a newbie at home and being sort of lost in space as it were.  If you are interested you can email me.

You get your news from CNN?  Well, that explains a lot.  As far as being ready for kids...Plenty of people have only as many kids as they can support themselves, AND buy their own house, AND provide for their own retirements.  It's called planning, not reproducing to the extreme under the umbrella of being a "good Catholic" and then being unable to provide.

Basically, you need to have an available network (also called hot spot) that will allow you to connect to the Internet. The card is only hardware, not the actual network.

Does anyone know exactly what this involves?  I know we have to have an IT person do it.  What do they do to set up a network betwen 7-8 computers?  I'm trying to understand this more before I contact the IT person, so I don't sound like a complete dummy.

Does anyone know how much something like this costs?

TIA
