something about smelling like...
a man....and something his mother taught him...... Why he admits to it is beyond me. I'd be willing to bet everyone around him already knows!
Now you know why a lot of chefs make $75,000-100k a year!
It will be interesting to see the final episode tonight.

regarding you saying you have enough garbage -
what a disgustingly racist thing to say.
Garbage in, garbage out.

And why do we put up with all this garbage?!?!?
Because we've been forced to...that is why. I own a small MTSO and I have become frustrated myself. I could outsource overseas and make more money, but that is not an option for me as I have worked for companies who did offshore and only paid me 8.5 cents/line with 25-years experience! I cannot afford to stay in business and compete with companies who are outsourcing overseas. I have become so frustrated that I have found a new niche in health and wellness (the next trillion $ industry) and I am setting my goals for 1 year in this nasty business and then I'm done!! I think other frustrated MTs should try to find other ways to make money...Life is too short to do something that is so frustrating 10 hours plus a day. I've been in transcription for 25 years and began on a typewriter with a reel-to-reel machine...and this is what we've come to. Let's leave this nasty business to the offshore companies who are willing to work for peanuts...cuz I'm done being abused, disrespected, etc. 
BOS garbage
Ditto on the above. As a proofreader for years, I find the books mentioned above are much more correct and usable than the book of style promulgated by AAMT. They just change something if they want to willy-nilly and expect us to go for it. I think Gregg's is a great book and their many others. I find it difficulty to understand why major companies would want to follow a bunch of rules promulgated by a gaggle of uneducated transcriptionists in that book of style. It is very irritating to be forced by an employer to use some of those things which are obviously and patently incorrect:
That's right. Garbage in, garbage out...sm
Some are too quick to blame the MT or equipment or sound waves or man in the moon for poor quality transcription. Standard dictation equipment carries a better sound quality today than ever, better than the average cell phone as far as sound goes, and we have no trouble at all understanding our friends on the phone, right? It's the dictators. And it's not just the ESLs that are causing the problem, but most dictators, native and foreign, are just plain inconsiderate or thoughtless. They shuffle through charts while they make us wait and sleepwalk through a patient history, then speed 78 rpm through meds, labs, which are the mainstay of a dictation. Who cares where the patient went to grammar school? Just take the extra 3 seconds it takes to spell me the name of his PCP!
BOS garbage
I agree 100%. It is crap! I was typing for years when this so called "bible" was introduced and I was expected me to change what was corrected to begin with. First off, I had two years of typing in school prior to becoming a MT, by the way I started out transcribing on a typewriter...remember those, So, I did not buy into the BOS rather let my Drs make the call. Since they put more trust in me than that book...well I guess you figured it out. It never happened. Personally, I would never work for someone you used the book. Garbage, all about making money.
what garbage!
I live in a New York neighborhood where I do not come into contact with blacks who speak Ebonics.
And if so, I could certainly not understand what they are saying.
If you were of European decent and somebody would insinuate that you are Indian because your syntax is not QUITE American, wouldn't this strike a nerve with you?
One can live a looooong time in New York, without having to understand or talk Ebonics.
What a garbage you post!
just change it to Garbage...
cuz that's what they are!
I only have a second to answer. Same garbage
happened to me. My lawyer didn't give a hoot about me. I paid him big bucks, too. This is what I did and BOY DID IT WORK. Look in the yellow pages under lawyers - I can't remember the name, but lawyers are governed by a formal something or other, just as physicians are governed by the AMA. Seriously, I am just sneaking here for a second, but I know you can find this info. Its who the laywers answer to. Call that number and tell them you want to file a formal complaint against your own lawyer for improper handling of your divorce matters. The people at the # for me were super nice. They have formal forms for you to fill out, and once you call and ask for them, they ask you for the name of the attorney. The attorney gets contacted. The minute mine got contacted that I was about to file a complaint, he did all the stuff he was supposed to do a year ago, and promptly refunded ALL OF MY $$!. It was great! The divorce papers werer revised. I got my stuff, my freedom, my maiden name back AND my $$. I have to run. Bye
How can verbatim=garbage?
We transcribe what professionals dictate. These people went to college for a long, long time to learn their profession. Who are we to say verbatim=garbage!!! Become a physician, then talk that garbage! Give me a break! We average $25.00 an hour if we're lucky as transcriptionists, and these physicians are making much, much more than that because they went to school to be a physician and treat patients. Come on! Transcription is just that, typing what the doctors say verbatim, maybe correct a little inconsistency here and there (we're all human), but to say the physicians' statements are garbage is wrong, wrong, wrong! If we were so bright, we wouldn't be typing, we'd be doctors!!!!!!!!!!! Let's give credit where credit is due! Bottom line is no doctors-no transcriptionists! AAMT is just another company out there trying to turn a buck! They don't know it all and neither do we for goodness sakes! Do the best job you can because believe me if you are that important in the medical field (as a transcriptionist), you'd make what the doctors are making!!!!! I'm sure I'll get blasted for this one!!!! Oh well!

There's nothing to pot roast
You put the roast in the crock pot in the morning and forget about it. At about 4:00 put the potatoes and carrots in with the meat and it's done about 1 1/2 hours later. That's it. Easy as pie. I work and have kids also. But it can be done if you pick the right stuff.
I wish that it had not ended the way
but it is a great movie!
Pig roast
Here, out in the boonies in PA, we call the local pig farmer who comes out the night before with the roaster, the pig and all the other stuff. He sets it all up for you. All you have to do is turn it now and then. Costs about $200.00. Maybe the organizer of the last pig roast could supply you with how they did it. We just add baked potatoes, corn on the cob, get every one to either bring a side dish or dessert, tap the keg, turn up the music and Partaaayyy....
Pot roast
Hi there,
Here is my pot roast recipe for crock pot. I dust it with flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper, brown it in a skillet, then place it in the crockpot with potatoes, carrots, celery, more garlic and pepper and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours on low. It is so delicious!!
Hey, besides transcribing I am also a travel agent. It is fabulous all the perks we get, check out my site at www.manzotravel.com and if you are interested go to www.teamresult.com and watch the short video. Now we get commission on our travel and vacation instead of Orbitz or Expedia!!!
I am white and offended by that garbage post as
well. I am so sorry there are people like above poster in this world. A nice informatie post turns to garbage - oh well. 
And if you get truly garbage dictation, you'll never break

roast beef
I have found the less water you use in the crock pot the better off the roast will be. It makes moisture of its own. I usually just add about 1/4 cup of robust red wine, some seasonings and let it go.
I also roast them with a bit of a twist
Get some Ranch dressing mix, sprinkle a little bit of the dry mix in with the olive oil...most anyone likes ranch anymore and it really adds a kick to them.
Good luck!
Thank you both! I ended up doing something magical with my

I ended up getting another keyboard SM
like my old Microsoft ergonomic, the beige one (Natural Elite I think it is) and am much happier.
I work early morning shift and I get the garbage
leftover from the day before. I will often get 6 reports from a very difficult ESL dictator and they may be over an 8 hour period of dictation. When there is such a gap in the dictation you know you are being assigned these reports, not just luck of the draw. All work is assigned by the office. I have seen my line count drop about 4000 lines/pay period the last couple of months because I'm getting such bad dictators. I don't mind doing my fair share, but it certainly isn't fair that my line count is being affected like it is.
I have complained to my supervisor and it got better for a couple of months and now it is the same crap all over again and I'm looking to move on.
Thanks to you all - I ended up declining this offer after all. nm

Roast with potatoes and carrots,
Love my crock pot!
I've been to several pig roast, very good! - sm
As for how to do it, that is if you go the pig route, make sure it is a pig roaster (huge) and have some one who knows what they are doing cook it. It takes quite a long time to cook 12+ hours or more, cannot remember if they started it the night before or not (our old neighborhood had one every year). Or if you don't want the trouble just say you are having a big cookout, go with corn on the cob, hamburgers, hot dogs, macaroni salad, potato salad, etc. Obvious have everyone bring a dish if possible. If you know any with Sirius or the other satelite radio you can get some great music. We did both records/CDs and a live band at our pig roast and the annual crab feast. Yum! Had a lot of fun when we lived there.
On the menu...pork roast w/
mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. The pork roast is in the crock pot slow roasting all day while I work my fingers to the bone!! It will be served with homemade mashers with brown gravey and mixed veggies.uuuummmmm!! Can't wait til dinner. ;)
Quit 10 years ago because I ended up in the
hospital with an asthma attack. If you have asthma, you will not smoke. The way I did it was very short term use of the patch and 13 months of a low dose of Paxil. It kept me from having panic attacks from not having a cigarette. You probably know that there is more nicotine in all brands now than there was ten years ago.
Starbucks Italian Roast for me, although
I am trying to wean myself off that and onto Pierce Brothers Free Trade Coffee. The Red Eye is a hearty blend, so I may be able to do it--if I take it slowly. I'm hooked...
I understand. Been in same boat. I ended up
trying to do the 2 jobs for a few years - IC and employee, and absolutely burned myself out. I sold out and stuck with the employee position. I don't regret it in the big picture, but I sure do miss my freedom. That hurts so much that I am basically dead emotionally regarding my JOB. Its now a job. But I just was not finding the security at IC positions and was afraid. I'm getting older and can't mess around with companies going under and the like. Once I did finally give up the second job as IC, though, it did take away lots of pressure, and I realized how hard I had been working doing the 2 jobs. So, I am an employee and probably safe, but I feel sad. Its a corny comparison, but I feel like one of those wild mustangs who was free, but now is saddle broke and in a corral.............Neigh. Neigh
All I can say is I wish my parents home schooled me. I ended up sm
getting into a gang from school due to constant peer pressure, failed the 8th grade, got arrested, and deep down inside my heart was always right and conscience telling me no, but when you have kids all around you who are just no good, you seem to get sucked into their ploys....My school years were just absolutely awful.
We didn't move away until it was too late. Moved to another state...I can't really tell you how I survived those high school years, but I can tell you this - it would have been much better for me and my own life had I been pulled from that situation altogether. I have 3 young boys now and I am home-schooling my 4 y.o. (pre-K). We do very little right now, but it may be a door for their future. We have social life at school and with relatives and good friends whom I CAN decide is right for them - when you are at school, we as parents, don't see all that is going on and kids nowadays need that constant supervision (which I lacked) and so I think home schooling CAN BE OF HELP FOR SOME and for others (maybe if they had good self esteem and knew better) can be in public schools.
Public schools nowadays though, are really going straight down the tubes..
PS: I did not read ANY of the other home schooling posts. Just wanted to share my story.
I do have a crockpot in my Goodwill box. I've ended up with 3 of them somehow.
Thanks for the offer. My mother and maternal grandmother both died of breast CA and I always knew of all the girls in the family I was going to be the one to get it, just didn't think this early. Haven't had staging yet, but I get yearly mammograms so hopefully they've caught it early enough.
I'm already trying to decide if I'm going to dye my hair that burgundy color that seems to be popular or if I'm going to get a super short haircut. I've recently taken up knitting and I've already accumulated a major stash of yarn and I'm making a list of all the things I'm going to make and how I'm going to teach all the other people going through chemo to knit and we'll just have a jolly ole' time knitting and carrying on. I've been wanting more time to knit.
Roast, potatoes, and carrots in the crock pot...yum!

Pork Roast "partial" recipe because I
usually never measure anything, just eyeball the ingredients, but here goes.
It all goes by taste...like it spicy? add more hot pepper. Like it sweeter? Add a bit more brown sugar.
I marinate my pork roast and/or ribs in apple juice and a little bit of apple cider vinegar (not much...you want to taste the apple, not vinegar), for 24 hours. The vinegar helps tenderize
Then I mix a combination of dark brown sugar, white sugar, a little crushed or ground red pepper or smoked cayenne pepper (regular is okay if you don't have the smoked), a little cinnamon (not much of this either or it will overpower the other seasonings), garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, a little cumin and nutmeg powder (for smokiness) . I mix all this together and rub it into the roast. I use my stovetop smoker or rotisserie to cook the roast.
For the cinnamon is about a tsp, or what fits in the palm of your hand when you curve your hand (not piled high either), The cumin and nutmeg is really a large "pinch."
Maybe some day I will figure out the true measurements, but I've been doing this for years and just know by looking how much of each ingredient is necessary. After a few times, you'll be able to tell how much of each ingredient to use for your taste.
Pork Roast Grill Recipe
I usually make pork chops on the girll, but I have a pork roast that I want to make on the grill and I was wondering if anyone had any recipes. I usually marinate it but was looking to see if someone had another type of recipe using just spices and/or herbs or just something new and different I could do or have with it. TIA.
Hate to tell ya, but some of us Flower Children ended up as
It's narrow-minded to blame any one generation. We Boomers blamed our parents' generation for all the world's problems, as well. I see CEOs from all 3 generations: My parents', the Baby Boomers, AND generations X & Y. GREED comes in all ages, sizes, shapes, and ethnicities.
I DO agree, however, on voting the old timers out of office. Not necessarily because they are OLD, but because too many of them are GREEDY, short-sighted, narrow-minded, and in the case of a certain President, jus' plain DUH-MB!
It sounds like the processes haven't ended yet...sm
Go to Task Manager and the Processes tab and you should see "wc32.exe" and "winword.exe" and if those are still running after you closed Extext, that means the program hasn't completely shut down yet. You can manually force it shutdown by highlighting each of those processes and hit End Task, I believe it is. Click yes when it prompts you to, then you shouldn't get that message about it not responding and the normal.dot message.
Yes, all utilities, garbage pick-up, home repoairs involving your office, etc

roast in mini bites (finger food)
going to cut up one of the bison roasts into bite sized pieces, shake in a bit of flour, and pan-fry nice and slow. It makes such yummy bites! probably have a home-grown salad too...i made some tater soup with left-over brocolli and gr beans for lunch -- we are blessed with too much good food. i need to use some squash too :)
A lot of people who grew up without privilege ended up skanks too
Money or lack of money has nothing to do with it. It's whether the person has any value system, lines they will not cross, and standards set for themselves regardless of financial status.
I'm having a homemade roast beef sub and chips for lunch.
DH can probably BBQ hot dogs and burgers for dinner because I don't feel like cooking.
Dinner help! I have a beef round rump roast.. help!
 any interesting ideas?
Pot roast tonight but will need suggestions for leftovers tomorrow.

Not sure, but had something similar happen to me to, I ended up changing companies...
The telephone company I had was for unlimited calls, long distance and regional calls. Everything was fine for about 3 months and got a letter where they were disconnecting my service because they said I had used it too much. I called them and stated to them that it wsa for unlimited minutes and they just said sorry, they were discontinuing my service. Luckily I was moving anyway and the new area I moved to has cable. Might check into another telephone service. Good luck.
I know a very large MTSO that lost a LOT of money and ended up

Welcome to my world...I would type a whole page and ended up with 35 lines max. No thanks.
I had to bag it. I couldnt afford to do that. I was averaging $6 an hour. I can make more at McDonalds. So there is obviously a problem.
You are correct on all points-I ended up copy/pasting
