Just Google pet insurance and you'll get
loads of them. The one we have right now that was free for a month is sheltercare. I think petinsurance.com is a good one. You can get a basic policy for about 8 or 9 dollars a month. The one I want is about 19.95, but if you've ever had a dog or a cat at the vet, the bill can be like highway robbery. You can get a free online quote, as it depends on the kind of dog you have, the animal's age, etc. You can sign up right online.
IF you will google either city you'll get
info as far as population, temperatures, etc. Charlotte is a big financial center, also called the "Queen" city. I don't currently live in Raleigh but did for 2 years and we really liked it. Traffic is a bear, but people are friendly and tons of things to do. There are 2 major teaching hospitals about 45 minutes away. Lots of walking trails. Cary is outside of Raleigh and that is a pretty nice place too. It isn't quite the hustle and bustle of Raleigh, but is growing rapidly. I would not live in Durham for anything. If you've heard about the Duke rape trial you might understand. Huge racial problems there.
With Charlotte you are close to the SC border. Charlotte also has lots of traffic. My sister used to live there and I would visit but don't know much about the social scene there.
OK, I misunderstood. Didn't know there was another way. I'll check out Google Desktop. Thanks.

If you google "print folder list" you'll find a lot to choose from.

Google South Beach Diet forum and you'll find a good board there for information. nm

BOS help installing CD sm
I am trying to get used to a new ISP, new computer, never installed my CD Rom for BOS 2, it asks which language it was written in, also where do I install it? Just on C or in my documents or "Word", I feel really illiterate, but I'm very, very tired, having a lot of trouble with new ISP. Is the CD rom more helpful than the book and if so, why? Sorry for so many questions, time is flying and I'm getting nothing done, it's disgusting, feel helpless. Thanks.
Need help installing VPN
I have installed the VPN and even got connected with it but when I go to open the webpage to start working it gives me the "cannot display webpage" message and the webpage will not open up. Is there a setting that I need to check or uncheck somewhere on my computer to get this VPN to work? What am I missing?
Thanks
Anyone ever had trouble installing Emdat sm
on their computer? I keep getting the error installing spellcheck setup.msi.
Problem with Word after installing IT - sm
This is not a huge deal but I put on my IT the other day, just got it, and now the dashed red line that normally comes up under typos doesn't. Is there a setting I can fix to get that to come back? I have looked but cannot find anything. I don't want to take it for granted that the spellcheck will fix them. Thanks. 
Also, make sure you "run as administrator" when installing. nm

installing an uninterruptable power supply (UPS)
I am preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. What concerns me is a power outage causing me to be unable to work for long periods of time. I have just purchased a generator but also am wondering if anyone has any information on installing an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to their computer which is apparently a battery that will run your computer. I work for a national and wonder if this is permitted?
Anyone?

Problems after installing Netgear wireless router. sm
A few weeks ago I installed a Netgear wireless router. All of our computers are running very slowly, hang, and do not show pictures. Can anyone give me any help on how to correct this? Firmware is up-to-date. Thanks.
Installing 2 AV wouldn't this slow down the computer significantly?..sm
If I will ever be dissatisfied with McAfee, I would switch to Norton, but never to a free AV.
Yep, google has it goin on... I really like the google earth...
Have you tried Google earth? You can type in any address, street, city, state, country, etc. and it will zoom in and show the area and then you can hit the + button and zoom right in and see the exact house, building, etc. that you are looking for.
Mainly Google; I google the known words in the phrase (sm)
That's my most frequent tactic if I don't find the word in my word books. I'll play with leaving certain words out and adding them in, in various combinations, to try to get a hit that has a word which sounds like my blank. If I get a hit, I'll Google WITH that word, and see what hits I get, and what their source is (i.e.,checking the sources out for reliability). When I say 5 sites or searches, I mean I don't often try more than 5 different combinations without a serious hit. If I get a hit, then I will spend a little more time checking that out before I give up.
If it's a drug name, I use RxList, or more frequently the Drugs.com website. Since they redid RxList, I haven't found one that has quite as good a wildcard search, but Drugs.com works okay most of the time.
If it's a place name (like when they give names of outlying outreach clinics and etc.) I'll use Mapquest and look up the city my hospital is in, then "pan out" and look at the outlying towns.
Hope that's what you're looking for. I do have bookmarks, but I find that even the ones I think I'll visit again, I waste more time doing that than with an intelligent google search. An example is the time I was looking for "banana bag." The only place I managed to find it with a degree of reliability was on a nurses' message board. I've found quite a bit sometimes on the various specialty message boards out there, but I think the quickest way to locate that is through a search engine rather than bookmarking each individual site and trying to figure out which ones to search for a particular term.
Typically this week is a slow week in lots of places
because it is a big vacation week. Typically things slow dow a bit in the summer too because people are putting off elective surgery, but at the same time lots of people going on vacation so it should balance out.

I work 6 days a week every other week
Due to my company's payroll (it runs Sun-Sat), I'm able to work a rotating schedule with every other weekend off. Week 1 I work Sunday through Thursday with Fri, Sat, Sun off. Week 2 I work Monday through Friday with Saturday only off. Then I'm back to week 1 and get that following weekend off.
I've found that I'm more productive with shorter shifts and I have kids in school anyway, so I work a lot of split shifts during the week. If possible, you might want to consider cutting back your hours to 30 hours and just work five 6-hour days in split shifts, 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening.

Good luck and be sure to do your exercises when it is time.

I have two IC contracts right now. I recently went back to a job I had quit earlier in the year to work for the other company I am still working for.
The newer job has 80% ESLs. I transcribe OP notes primarily and I can fill in other work types as the opportunity arises. I am frustrated with this particular situation. After 6 months, I am making less money and working longer hours. I am past the learning curve and I should be doing better, at least in the number of hours I am spending doing the job. We have run out of work for 24 hrs at a time at least 5 or 6 times since December 1, and in November it was more than that. I have a friend who worked for this company as well and she was having similar difficulties. The only thing that we can figure is that they are shorting us line count some way, because after 6 months at it, it should be easier/faster/more money, but it is less and less every single pay period. It is not a nice thing to accuse a company of doing, but it SEEMS that way to us. I am fed up with being expected to type every single OP note that comes in 24/7 and meeting the 6 hr TAT for them on weekends, evenings, holidays, wee hours of the morning...
I took back a job I held for 2-1/2 yrs. The team leader has changed and this gal thinks that I should be on call 24/7 for whenever she has work. I might have some at 7 a.m., or perhaps not until 6 p.m. or later. I can't plan my personal life and between these two IC situations, I find that I am not eating on a daily basis, not showering on a daily basis and not sleeping more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have lost weight and I don't feel very well. I woke up today with a rip roaring head cold (my first in nearly 8 yrs) and it has already moved to bronchitis and I am expecting pneumonia by the weekend because I develop it very easily. I already have deep pain in my back.
Yes, I should call in sick tomorrow, but I really can't take the fallout. The job I took back I am covering for another gal who wanted vacation over the holidays and if I have to call in sick, the team leader will call me and pitch a fit about how this is my responsibility. It IS my responsibility, I did say I would do it, and I will do it, despite being quite ill. In the past, when I worked for this company, they would not allow me to call in sick for a "cold" without a doctor's note. I worked through many illnesses with them and only called in sick when I developed West Nile Fever and while I was sick for over a month, I only called for my last 12 reports one day when I could no longer see the computer screen because my head hurt.
The problem is that yes, many MTs lack work ethic. They don't take their responsibility seriously. This is not a work as you please career, not even for an IC. I can see the MTSO's point of view, I truly can. Like finding experienced, reliable and capable MTs, for the MTs who are these things, finding a company will treat you like a human being is equally difficult. I sit here, feeling lousy and like I am an utter slave labor with no consideration whatsoever. I know that my work needs to be done, but when I am this sick it is better that someone else do it for the sake of the work, for accuracy and for speed of getting it out. I know that I am needed, but to be the MT these companies need me to be, I also need to look after my own health.
I will also mention that when I have asked for vacation, I have been approved for the time, but the MTSO queues up my work and calls me then I am not on the system getting it done. I have told them I had been approved for time off, but the MTSO didn't schedule anyone to cover for me and I am told to get on work, vacation or no, if I want to keep my job.
Thus, I work 24/7/365 and have for years. I work sick, I work when I am in pain (I have an AI disorder), I work exhausted from staying up all night covering for others who are allowed to call in sick and have vacations when I can't have either. I work having no health insurance and not being able to afford the $125 a month to buy some with a high copay so I can see a doctor. I work without breaks for breakfast, lunch or dinner and I sometimes come close to having an accident because if I leave my desk to go to the little girls' room I get nasty calls about where I am at and what I am doing.
Many MTs are mistreated, and I am one of them.

If the OP had done a google, she would have...
SEEN the answer to her question. People need to learn how to fish for themselves. Giving quick answers doesn't teach them a thing, and it certainly doesn't help them in the long run. I'm not trying to berate you for offering an answer, so please don't be offended. It is just that learning/knowing how to effectively research is a VERY important part of being an efficient and good MT.
google.com
Tia,
use www.google.com as a search engine (the best) type in exactly what you are looking for and see what you get- if you don't find exactly what you are looking for- keep searching but slightly change the search phrase.
I did google them and they are
still around $600. That is out of my price range right now. Maybe someday...

yep, a totally new addiction. I entered my nephews addy and just realized he is only 3.5 miles from the White House! No wonder I kept seeing the Washington Monument every time we got on that nightmare highway system
Go look at your favorite amusement park like Cedar Point in Ohio...you can actually see the roller coasters in 3D!
Google? If Google, just go to google.com
and download their toolbar. They usually have several options! Happy Googling. If its goggling, I can't help you!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
Could anyone explain the Google page to me? I mean the "Google" header with the cat and mouse. I usually enjoy their little embellishments for the different holidays, but I can't figure out what this is supposed to be.
I had to Google your
phrase, as I was not familiar with it. Now that I know, all I have to say is...'I resemble that remark'...
That is a Google ad.

Does anyone know of a site like Google that transcrptionists can use for researching. I have always used Google, but lately it seems to be getting slower and slower, plus they have a Pop-Up status on that is driving me crazy and can't get rid of.

Google "radiology terminology" and you will get some sites.
I've had the book Stedman's Radiology and Oncolocy Words for over a decade and it's my bible. There are newer editions. When in doubt in the middle of a report, I Google the word/phrase/drug I'm looking for if it isn't in Stedman's.
Good luck!

I found my current job with a small MTSO by a Google search for "medical transcription" followed by my state.
