In Reply to: Don't be afraid of it. It's really hard to mess up Oriental cooking. - Oriental night tonight
practically raised me, I learned soo much on how to cook oriental and my "American" family loves it!
I can teach you all kinds of tricks - though you sound like you know most of them. Fried rice and fried noodles are super easy.
For anyone interested: Just boil 3-4 Ramen noodles for about 6-7 minutes. While that is cooking, combine 9-5-1
9 T of soy sauce
5 T sugar
1 teaspoon of fresh garlic
Mix all together. Mix may have too much sugar, in which case add more soy sauce or use less sugar.
Then add strained noodles to frying pan and the sauce - after stir frying for about 5 min. add frozen mixed veggies. You can also add a cooked meat such as chicken too! Family's fav.
Fried rice is super easy too. Cook 3-4 cups of white rice or brown rice. Let it sit overnight. When you are ready to fry them for lunch or dinner, use 2 T oil, 2-3 eggs scrambled and then cold rice - to this add approximately 5-6 T of soy sauce, cook, and then add frozen mixed veggies and fry for about 10 min.
I can make home-made sushi WITHOUT the raw fish and we love that. I can also make homemade beef broccoli.
I have tons of super easy oriental recipes. Cheaper too!
Neat sharing recipes like this...

my grandmother did that, too, but
...the animals were treated very well during their lives...in preparation. Many animals being slaughtered are not even being killed first...that is the point. Cows - they are sliced up while still alive, eyes moving, cries of agony. Nothing to numb the pain for them. They are beaten savagely in some cases by workers. They are toppled to the ground, just about thrown out of trucks.
This has become the industry 'standard', acceptable by the government...
I would think there is a difference. Our grandparents probably had respect for those animals.
Lots of chickens live blood-caked, full of urine and feces, in hot closed up areas. There is a difference, in my opinion.
Most farmers would not treat their animals like this, either. These are meat factories...
...Again, I am just passing on my experience, because I did not know, I had no idea this is how meat gets to my table...
My grandmother also, except . . .
I never knew any of the symbolism. Thanks for posting that.
my ex-grandmother in law was 107, had been in the
Her daughter, in her 80s, shared the room with her in the nh!
I have a little doll that my grandmother
gave me years ago. She called it my "Dammit doll". It's a little cloth doll with no face. She made it for me and wrote this little poem that says some about when you're feeling really stressed grab the little dolly by the feet, find a place to slam it, and as you whap the stuffin' out, yell dammit, dammit, dammit!
My Grandmother uses Bare Minerals
She is 75 and has never looked better. Her skin glows. It's crazy. That's my next purchase after my other things run out!
Sounds a lot like the Easters at my grandmother's when I was a kid
Except the priest would come to the house the night before Easter and bless all the food on the table. I guess then she had to put it away for the next day, never thought of that before. Also had Babka (like a stollen) - wish I could make one. Cow tongue also on the table.
My grandmother's opinion of the new styles
My grandmother, now 85, with more money than you and I will ever see, just refused to to to dinner with my brother and his wife. They arrived in their almost new Cadillac Escalade and she refused to get in the car, saying it "looks like a hearse" and no one is going to fool her into going to a cemetery before she is darn good and ready.
My grandmother transcribed part time into her mid 70s.
,
Absolutely! My grandmother has been doing this for as long as I can remember...she is
in her 80s, still coloring and going strong! I, too, color my own hair. I don't usually do it, but when I feel the "need," I do my own. Saves big money and looks great every time.
my grandmother used vinegar diluted with water on my hair
whenever there was a problem with lice. 
I had a very very mean dad growing up,
by the laws today he'd have been in jail for abuse. Outside the home, people knew he was a rough guy, but he was a good guy, always helping people with their cars, not normally losing his temper, etc. As he aged, he mellowed. My oldest son know what an SOB grandpa could be. My youngest son (10 years difference) NEVER understood or believed when we all said how mean grandpa could be. Grandpa and my youngest son were best buddies. My dad passed away almost 5 years ago and it hurt really bad. He and I had become so close after he got over the mean stage and we spent a lot of time together. I was the one he counted on when he was ill to take him to the doctors or hospital, and he knew I'd do ABSOLUTELY anything for him. I even talked with him about salvation before he died, as I really wasn't sure and wanted to know for a fact that even though he was a good guy, that he was saved and going to Heaven. That was really important for me to be able to deal with his death. So, when he died, I did lose a friend as well as a father and my children their friend as well as grandpa. Life is short, life is tough, but God is good.
Yeah, Daddy said Billy Bob's grandmother was his grandfather's third cousin's second wife.
Thank you. We are descended from the Hoots who lived in Killjoy, Alabama, right near June Bug. My mother was a Hoot.
This is part of growing up
I believe they have to start making their own decisions at some point in their life and living with the consequences. Same as we all do. I'm not saying he will regret it or not regret it, one way or the other, but either way, it should be his decision. Take it easy, Mom.
Growing Companies
Well I know of one company that I worked for an never paid. How do they get more business? Well they can undercut everyone else on the playing field because they get newbie MTs to do the work for free. They charge the doctors less per line and make nearly 100% profit. It is a win/win situation for the company. I do not believe doctors check these boards and look for negative feedback. They just go to the company who offers them the best deal, but that is just my thought on the subject . . .
Not dying, just growing!
First of all, HIPAA does not require EMR for all records by 2009. If that were the case, you would have known about it several years ago, because most physicians do not use EMR and have no plans to use EMR at this point. Most HOSPITALS don't use them, either. Even if they wanted to, there aren't that many viable products they could use!
He may be thinking of other HIPAA requirements which have affected his practice and which he doesn't like. HIPAA did require some privacy and security things which he no doubt found irritating. He now has a need to transmit his claims electronically, which probably annoys him.
I would guess that the concept of paying an MT annoys him, too, so he took it out on you by terrorizing you during your recent visit.
Second, nothing about an EMR means you can't dictate and transcribe.
If you're currently doing only small-office dictation, you might want to expand your capabilities so that you can do hospital acute care. I think that job prospects have been better there since internet-based voice file transfers became possible. There are a lot of jobs available with national services and even with large employers who will let you work from home.
Yes, and also what did HE do about the growing threat of islamofascism?

Hiring because they are growing, have some hard
left (with the company's blessing). Now they are much stronger and better and in my experience, the most professional company I have dealt with in 10 years.
No extensions..he's been growing out his hair
I've seen other pictures of him on some of his Unicef trips and he's been growing it out. I just wanna get my fingers in there...looks so silky and smooth.
Oh, your poor baby! I had one of those growing up
even with a DOCTOR performing the excision. I can't even imagine -- nor do I want to -- what your poor little guy went through. I'd tie your ex down and burn the soles of his feet to let him see how he likes it! Grr!
Okay, on a less violent note, I agree that your ex had no business taking this into his own hands. I would definitely get something in writing legally saying he can't do anything like this in the future. That's just horrific to me. I can't believe he actually thought this was a good idea!
I've had some experience over the years with plantar warts and will tell you that sometimes they even disappear on their own (my son and I both had a couple after a vacation that just went away on their own). The doctor only treated that one of mine because it had gotten too deep and was hurting when I walked. Otherwise, he would've used treatments, probably similar to what you're doing, and just monitored. I recommend getting something in writing because plantar warts usually will recur (not always) and your son may get another later after these are cleared. I'd be darn sure you have some kind of recourse if the "genius" tries this again.
I realize he thought he was doing a "good" thing for his son, but in any other circumstance, that would be considered abuse! Yikes! I hope your little guy is feeling better and that his foot heals up soon.
No way. It's a huge wave that's just going to keep growing
s
the reason it is the fastest growing sm
industry is because of the schools out there selling MT training! The schools don't know what they are doing, they are just ripping prospective MTs off.
This profession will NEVER be something that can be learned totally in a classroom setting. If you go to school then you have to be willing to work in a facility for several years. you ahve to be willing to learn to transcribe any and everything and the worst of the worst before you EVER EVER go home to work especially on a production basis.
I don't care who it ticks off but at least it can't be said I didn't tell you the way it was.
The poster "hot pink" is telling it EXACTLY how it is but she words it better than I do. Im sorry for the folks who are losing their jobs (especially the MQ folks) to VR and India etc. But I think alot of the MQ employees used MQ as their very first job and didn't get the experience they really need. MQ should have been after you have worked for several years in a facility. With the training in every kind of work type and every foreign accent, etc. etc you wouldn't have a hard time finding a job now. They are still out there.
Whisperers. Ugh. I can do any accent thanks to growing up (sm)
with my mom who had a cleft palate AND a very strong Brooklyn accent! But why do they whisper? Like they are embarrassed someone might hear how badly they dictate? And why can't ESL's at least TRY to improve their speech pattern? Like the poster below who had the dictator making everything plural except when it really was plural, then suddenly it is singular. I mean come ON.
Good venting post Wannie.
We only have one go around in this life, don't spend it growing roots

The service area is limited, though growing.
I don't know if they are talking about WiFi or an Air Card. WiFi connectivity is cheap, but unless you live in a large city you'll find limited access. An Air Card (called different names depending on the company selling them) I then they start at about $249.00 and the fees are pretty hefty. Not sure how good it works though I've heard people who loved theirs and they traveled a lot and said they never were unable to get a signal.
It's the "fastest growing" industry in the THIRD WORLD,
And a low-paying one, at that, with few to no benefits.
Fast growing does not mean high paying nm
A lot of girls growing up with privilege like she had turned skank.
If your definition of skank is a female who is openly promiscuous with no regard for others, low morals, and is proud of it, there are a lot of them. Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchey, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson (claims to be a religious girl -yeah right), Jenna Jamison, etc...there are a lot of them out there.
Considering all that you mentioned, the fact that the economy is growing is amazing. But,

Or.... how about the famous line "we're growing!!!"
and you see the same ad week after week after week after week. I can think of 3 places that continuously have ads out. I have worked all 3. I now know firsthand why they advertise all the time, they probably can't keep anybody more than a month or two.
Common phrases. LOTS of common phrases, just like ops. SM
pser = the patient was seen in the emergency room
wwd= the wound was dressed
Just two tiny examples. People need to learn to use their Expander programs. I'd be making like $10 per hour without mine. I also work in a job where I do the work type I do best. That's very important. I would imagine (don't know for sure) that H&Ps and DSs have the most lines (I work on a gross line count) but you have to think more, look up more, and type more to get those lines.
I have everything magicked in there. That's the way I like it, that's the only way I will work.
You have a lot in common with him then
for what's making you so angry about your own poor life choices.
We have something in common
I also had a hysterectomy at 28, but my ovaries were gone at 27. It was hell for the first 6 weeks but I went on the hormone therapy...then came the first warnings about taking them, so I stopped them. I still have night sweats once in a while, but I can live with it. Now that I'm in my late 50s, seems my body wants to do it all over again. I'm getting hot flashes and all the other goodies that come with the change. Hey! What's going on here???
common among
I mean, 18 YO girls having breast implants, nose jobs...come on, that's for looks and nothing more. But hey, if you can afford it, don't mind pain, and it makes you feel better about yourself, I say go for it...I'd love to have a boob lift... can they do that?
Not only is it not common.
x
it is very common that many MDs.....NM
Yes, very common that PAs are some of the
most horrible dictators. I also find they routinely murder drugs and dosages, diagnoses, etc. Really cringe when I get PA dictations, and, though I am of the same gender, usually the awful ones are women, and really do come across with an attitude - at least via audio! 
Yep, it can be and is quite common!
I did my first year of transcription on a laptop with external keyboard and mouse.
Can be very common
I've been struggling to find the right fit for a very long time. I try not to put all eggs in one basket because even good MTSOs can lose their accounts - on the other hand finding two or more accounts to work with concurrently is a huge pain -While payment on time is paramount for me too (I have no parents to borrow from :( but so are: a decent platform, fair and competent management, and consistent work flow. You are lucky if you get 2 out of 4. But many will post a different experience (4 out of 4) so you must take all this with a large grain of salt.
You might want to consider supplementing a job as a teacher with a part-time opportunity as an MT - the best of both worlds. Of course, you could offer the MTSO you currently have the opportunity to remedy the paycheck problem before losing you (get your back up set up first though... :)
common
I applied at a hospital for a office job. The position had already been filled. They called me back and asked if I was interested in working in the kitchen washing dishes. Of course this was not my first choice as far as jobs go, but I really needed the job. I took it part time. The day after that I was offered a part time office job at an insurance company. I took that one too. The insurance company was wonderful, and I was able to work the two jobs around each other. In a few months a temp office job opened up at the hospital, because I was on the inside, I was one of the first people to know of the job opening. Hospitals usually hire from the inside first. If they do not fill the job, they advertise it to the public. I do not think that you were being insulted in any way. I guess how you look at it mostly depends on how bad you need a job. When you have to have one, any job looks good. Sometimes we are lucky enough to be in a position to be picky.
It's more common
The only thing I would warn about is that the part-time job especially be as hassle-free as possible. In other words, a long turn around time, supervisor leaves you alone, easy to make lines, fewer ESLs, etc. Otherwise, trust me, you'll dread it. On the bright side, if you're spending a few hours a day watching TV and would rather spend that time earning money, it's a lot less stress when you don't have to pinch every penny and tell your kids "I can't afford it".
8 cpl common at MQ
I've been with MQ a total of five years with a 99.7% QA consistently. I started at 8 cpl and I'm leaving at 8 cpl.
It's very common now
When each hospital had their own radiologist, they were read immediately. But to save money, they now contract outside services and send the films electronically and in most hospitals, none are read over the weekend at all. What's shocking to me is most don't even have staff to do a CT or MRI on the weekend or evenings either and that floors me because we all know patients come in who need one or the other all the time. I went in on a Friday to have a CT done and they told me it wouldn't be ready until Tuesday. It's all money money money.
so much in common, Andromeda
Besides our love of animals. I raised my 3 without ever one penny from my now dead ex. In 1977, (the laws were very different then), he had them for a few months in the summer, and he went to court in Florida, where he lived, claimed that I abandoned them, and got legal custody (which I already had in my own state). He refused to return them, and with God's help, and something that would have appeared like an episode of Starsky and Hutch, I "kidnapped" them back because there was nothing I could do legally. Thank goodness the laws have changed since. Yes, he had the pool, the motorcycles, the money, the boat, etc.etc. and tried to turn mine against me -- but it didn't work.
Thanks, of course I used common sense...sm
before I posted and waited until not only after the press release but after the details came out. We were carefully briefed early on on the details of what was and wasn't okay.
My daughter is going out of her skin waiting to hear. She loves history and current events at school, particularly the mock elections, etc. I just think it is a wonderful opportunity to give her this early in life. I hope it makes a huge impression if she gets to go as far as the importance of exercising her right to vote, etc.
One common mis-think that I see is that people think SM
they have to have a whole canned report to up their productivity. How many times do you hear choledochocystotomy and have to think about the spelling? How many times do you have to remember that doc spells his name Brian instead of Bryan? How many times - in op notes - do you hear "the patient was taken to the operating room"?
My expanded stuff is 99% common phrases and hardly any canned reports. My production is huge. Of course, like the poster below, I've been working on my Expander vocabulary for many years and it's just second nature to me.
Those are common. See your OB?GYN or neurologist
There are a lot of medications out that help that type of headache, and my neurologist's office (Dr. Scott Ferer and Dr. Philip O'Carroll in Newport Beach, CA) is doing a trial for those types of headaches too. I had those when I was younger. When I got pregnant with my son, they mostly disappeared. Have you seen a neurologist? They can do hormonal manipulation or other methods. Good luck!
I think this is common sense to the
I believe what she is saying is how to get relief NOW, since perhaps she does not have the funds to pay them? She cannot very well take a time machine back one year and save up the money now can she?
Yes, this is common in the MT world.
and see what they say. Don't be shy about it, that is one way of finding out what you may be doing incorrectly, or if your stuff got shuffled to the bottom, or whatever. I wish you the best of luck.
Because it's such common knowledge.
But by all means, give them your money and prove it again if you like! I was just trying to help you.
Lots in common
The post office!!! My husband works there. What a nightmare. It is not uncommon that people leave working there. My sympathies are with you and glad you are doing well now. I went through the same thing. They cut incentive on me at a hospital where I worked when I was a single mom. They told us if we could find more money to leave, so taking the challenge I did and went to the other hospital in the area. Big mistake. When I kind of crawled back to the director of trans who also used to be my friend and little boy's pal, she had no openings (although there were ads for openings). I had been there for more than 7 years too. This year I applied again. Immediately got a "resume will be kept on file for 3 months" letter. Well, that wsa that. It has been 5 years since then and finally I found a great company to work for and believe me, I will never look at grass greener on the other side again. Takes too much work to keep trying out new places and too many heart breaks. But, as they say, "all things work out for the best" and we must in the end believe that one hundred percent. Good luck to you!
Seems like common sense
The negative effects on our health really does seem like common sense. I love the peace and quiet of working nights, and in the days when I used to work graveyard shift outside of my home, I loved going to the grocery store and running other errands early in the morning when places were was less crowded. But, I have to admit that working nights kind of leaves me with less than an energetic, healthy feeling. Through trial and error, the best compromise that I've found for me is to make sure that I sleep at the same time every day, whether or not I am off work for that day, and make sure that I get 5 hours or more of sleep during the dark hours. I've found that the rhythm of this plan has made all the difference, which is no surprise. This, of course, is easiest to do in the wintertime.
