Under heart: Regularly irregular or irregularly irregular?
Does anybody out there sew regularly. I have never learned
how to sew and I want to learn. I am going to take some classes here at a local craft store, but my question is that I want to buy a nice sewing machine, not top of the line but not a cheapy either. I can always upgrade later if I need too. Does anybody have any recommendations on a nice, easy to use sewing machine that doesn't have so much crap on it that I would be totally confused. 
oh, do u check regularly? NM
@
4 regularly, parts of 5 more sm
I do only OPs, so I have some free standing surgical centers and a hospital, I do all of those OP notes. It is only about 75 to 100 reports a day with all of that. It sounds like a lot, but I have tons of normals, I am not working all that hard :-).
I have a couple of specialties in OP notes that almost no one else can do, certainly not either of the companies I work for, so I pick up those specialties for an additional 4 facilities with any regularity, but it will be 5 once in a while.
This is not something I exactly asked for, it is just how it has worked out. Having that many different accounts is not for everyone, neither is the fact that I have about 200 different voices regularly, and another 200 once in a while. This is MY comfort zone and I don't recommend it.
I have several who regularly dictate sm
30 minute reports. Unfortunately, they only give me 100 lines. On the other hand, I have a female PA who dictates 4 minutes notes and that gives me 100 lines, too, because she dictates at the speed of sound. I have to slow her down to turtle speed to hear her correctly. I prefer to do the 30 minutes ones since they talk reaaaalllll slowwwww and I can run the voice file at chipmunk speed and zing through it.
What magazines do U read regularly?
I like GQ, Men's Health and Vanity Fair - I know, an odd combo!
every sunday regularly; probably 2 sats a month

cherry picking occurs pretty regularly. (sm)
I had to do my shift this morning and got H&Ps (which is extremely rare there are any of these left) from the day before. Guess what, they were all ESLs. Actually several of them were long and excellent dictators, so I got the last laugh on the cherrypickers on that one.
I worked for 4 hours and got NOTHING but out of sequence ESLs that had obviously been kicked back. By the time it was time for me to get off line and go to my hospital job there were enough of us suckers in there cleaning up the mess that good things were beginning to pop up.
May those cherry pickers shit bricks of thorns.
not a virus, a glitch. if you run a scan regularly, you would see no festations. NM

reunited after high school at a local night club. I married a former classmate 18 years ago.
The BBB is not as strong as some like to believe
Companies join it if they wish - it is not a requirement - if you are a member and someone complains then they might get involved if it is something they can do - but I seriously doubt they would get involved in $$$ issues. As far as I know - if your business is a member they make record of the complaint and whether or not the issue was resolved..... I would file a claim in Small Claims Court for the amount owed you by this company.
How strong is your ESL experience?
At least, in my area. But ESL? I don't care for ESL and I know I could not type ESL day in and day out. Something to think about??!
Be strong, but be careful. sm
He sounds like the type that knows better than to come to your house and violate a protection order, but you never, ever know and it's still early yet. Keep your doors locked.
My ex was "pre-protection order" (i.e. many years back) and he got through the basement window and was sitting at my kitchen table in the pitch dark. I can still hear him sneer, "Did you have fun with your boyfriend?"
I was grocery shopping and my mother was watching the kids. I got lucky because he really didn't want to kill me, just control me.
He finally gave up on me when I found and eventually married a great guy that doesn't expect me to fold towels in high heels and "poofy hair".
Sad part of that story is that he also disowned his own kids. But, after 15 years, the kids have realized that it was neither my fault or theirs. Their "father" lives with me. Their "donor dad" is living 5 miles away, a recluse, and drinking himself to death.
I send him a case of vodka on his birthday every year. Just kidding! 
Keep strong. You can do this. Now, about the satellite,
you can move it with you. If you move to a place where it isn't available, you're out of the contract easily. My son actually moved to a place where when they tried to set the satellite they found that the neighbor's trees were an obstruction and you're obviously not going to ask a new neighbor to cut down or even into trees, so they let him off the hook, no problem. The phone company should not be a problem as long as you're moving, again you can just move it with you, unless you're moving a long distance and then you'll just cancel this one and get another wherever you move to.
I do think you need to keep this in perspective with your kids. They are losing their daddy (almost like he died to them) whether they feel good about it right now or not. It really couldn't hurt for all of you to get into counseling. Eventually it will be a problem for your kids when they "miss daddy" and they "forget" (and they will since they are of young age) how bad things were when you were together. Of course, this is JMO and others might see things differently.
You can do it, we'll all pulling for you and saying prayers for you and your children.
Stay strong!!
I started my son in preschool and he got so sick, that I decided to keep him home with me. I've been a Transcriptionist since before he was born and I figure I could teach him myself. I sent to the local educational store and got a few things. This worked out fine for the both of us. He became healthy and stayed healthy. I know you stated you didn't think you could do this but it's not that hard. On the other hand, when my son did start school I kept a close eye on his teachers. There was one teacher where him and her just didn't get along. He would come home totally unhappy almost every day of the week. I gave it about three weeks, then decided I would get him changed to another teacher. This worked perfectly. He is now in 4th grade and has been getting either honor roll or principal's honor roll every since. You are the master of your child's future, not the teachers. They are human and a few of them will not click with your child. I taught my son until he could start kindergarten. When he started kindergarten, on his first day he came home and stated "Mom I knew all the work in school. I did it all and it was easy." That was my shinning moment in life. Always remember you are the mother of your daughter and you have to make decisions for her, even though some people will tell you different. Your child's education is in your hands, not the teacher's. Now days we have too many children growing up too fast, especially the girls. She sounds like a real sweet child and is doing appropriate things for her age. One more note, every though you don't think you can teach her, you can. It is so much easier than you think. Even if you just get something for her to write her ABC's and her name would be a real plus. You can search online for things to give your daughter to do at home in her spare time. If she gets tired easily when writing then you can help her by giving her extra at home, just 30 minutes or less everyday to do. She will do just fine and will show that teacher one day that not only was she ready for school but look how far she has gone. STAY STRONG MOM, MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THERE AND SURVIVED. YOU WILL TOO! Hugs to the both of you!!
yep!! VERY strong in numbers!!! nm

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.
but mine is 12 years old and still going strong.

Yeah I did. 13 years and going strong. :)
We are so proud of you...now STAY STRONG!!!
He will be trying to worm his way back into the household. Be firm, be strong! Set a time limit (in your mind, but to him also should he start begging) that you WILL BE SEPARATED FOR A SET AMOUNT OF TIME no matter how much he begs or how much you might start to miss him. Maybe 6 months or thereabouts. By that time, I think you will be SOOOoo glad you booted him out!
Please let your community's support system know you need a little help. Get the word out that you need a car. I'll bet a car shows up! Probably not a real spiffy car, but transportation nonetheless! Let your neighbors (if you have any)know what the situation is so they can be on the lookout for him and watch over you.
Please accept help and counseling from whatever community support groups there are to help bolster you resolve!!! If you have a neighborhood patrol (depending on your area...here, we have senior citizens that patrol neighborhoods in police cars, checking homes for people on vacation, etc) have them swing by the house often just to make a statement that someone is watching out for you. Even the police might do this if you are not out in the boonies. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND KEEP US POSTED.
You just stay strong, he will try to wear you out.

people just have strong emotions on it...it seems to be
a healthy discussion to me, albeit controversial...
5 years and still going strong, I have a back up one though- sm
that I use for travel, that is about 4 years old but only gets used about 20 days out of a year if that. That one gets abused a bit and still works fine though.
The answer to a strong business...
Your comments regarding "happy" and "unhappy" MTs are chilling. When I, as an MT, see my physician I always ask for a copy of my chart note just to make sure that everything is "in order." About 10 years ago, I found on one of my physician's dictation, just by accident mind you, that my weight was listed as 417 pounds; I weighed 135 pounds. While that may seen insignificant, it was nonetheless an error!
You are coming across as being very strong armed
They are employees and they cannot just go in there and strong arm their way in and make demands. They can sit and talk with them and tell them what they would like but if they accept the job as it is, that is what they took and must work with. She never said, but if they are doing EMR's some of those programs will not work or read some of the word based commands or whatever you want to call them. I have worked on three programs, two were semi compatible with Word and the other definitely not. Could not cut and paste into it. But I knew what I was getting into and if I did not like it, there was the door and I could leave. Sounds to me as though the doctors have found out that they do not have time to do the charting and want them to catch them up. They did not write the program to be transcription friendly probably. Again, I agree that they should have some of these tools but you are coming across as though you are pounding your fist and saying, just do this, this and this and it is the company's equipment and not theirs. Sorry if I took you wrong but that is what I hear. She does not have to take the job.

Your about the distance from the coast as I was in MS with Katrina and there was damage as far as 300 miles into MS..
Elliotts voice is not strong - Katherine is
inconsistent and forgets words - So, I guess that leaves Taylor. He certainly would be a "different" kind of winner.

Encouragement for hard times - are you going to finish strong? sm

Actually you need to use lacquer thinner - but be careful it has strong fumes - see inside
Pour it on generously and wear rubber gloves and watch your eyes. It will get most anything up, but might take the color too!
Some people are sensitive or allergic to it.
exercise
Exercise helps. After doing a few annoyingly hard reports, I go over to my stationary bicycle and ride for about three miles, then go back and do a few reports, get up and ride a few more miles.
Regarding exercise
I believe the original poster said that she had a mini-dachsund. Those are really small, as in mini, so 30 minutes is probably more than enough exercise.
Exercise sm
Denise Austin's videos/DVDs are really good. There are different levels, low impact, high impact, etc. I lost 30 lbs using her videos (and with a healthy diet, of course). I started with the low impact and eventually worked my way up to high impact.
She came out with a children's DVD and now I have my 6-year-old using it to get exercise, especially in the winter and also during rainy days.
Hope that helps!
Exercise
I noticed a few posts down that you all were discusing exercise programs. I am looking for some exercise DVD with mild music. I can't stand loud, "rock-style" music. I did locate an aerobic exercise VHS through Bob Jones University to Celtic music which is great -- but they do not offer it on a DVD. Are there any suggestions with milder music? Someone mentioned Pilates. Is this to music also?

You could probably lose 10 lb. just from exercise. SM
Go to www.collage.com. There are hundreds of good exercise videos.

Do something that is FUN and exercise at the same time. For myself,
I love to go for walks, rollerblading, biking, almost anything outside, etc., with my dogs, and like keeping in shape, but if I try to just "exercise" inside my home or on any machine, I simply won't stick with it. To me, "exercise" is something you have to make yourself do, whereas if it's something you consider "fun," it's something you look forward to doing and don't have to make yourself do it--it's a reward for hard work! And, congrats to you as well. (I'm still smoking).
Question: What exercise(s) do you do to keep from getting....
"secretary's butt"?????
I was warned when I started transcribing at 19 that it would appear. I'm 39 and here it is. LOL. But then again I do have 3 kids and a frig readily accessible 24/7
Just wondering what everyone does to stay in shape. I need to get into a program or you'll see me on "The Biggest Loser" TV show next season.
My exercise routine
Walk to the fridge, open door (works arms), lift food (good strength training, lifting weights), put in mouth, close door, walk back to desk while lifting cup of coffee to lips. I gave my legs and arms a good workout, also my mouth. Transcription is hard. But I know if I keep up my exercise routine, I will be buff.
Breathing exercise
I think I read this somewhere a long time ago, but it has always worked for me.
Inhale to the count of 3, hold it to the count of 3, exhale to the count of 3. You can gradually increase the counts.
What happens is you get focused on counting and breathing and eventually conk out.
I agree with you about the exercise sm
I've had elevated BP for 13 years due to a vascular condition and I used to work as a CNA for many years so got plenty of exercise. The minute I went to a desk job, boom. Big ankles and hands, along with a bigger rear. Started walking for 30 minutes daily and watching the salt (I can't stand it now, I never salt my food) and 8 glasses of water a day. Really does seem to help. It seems I can knock off 5 pounds by just drinking the water.
exercise programs (sm)
For about three years, I had suffered with severe asthma and allergies. I could not ever get any of it under control. I had to take a lot of steroids during that time and everytime I tried to get in an exercise routine it would just exacerbate my symptoms. It turned out we had a black mold problem. I was the only one with symptoms though.
We moved though and now I am in total recovery. My asthma is completely under control. I might only take it now once or twice a month, if at all (used to take it 4-6 times a day). Doctors say I may always have it now.
I have put on a significant amount of though and really would like to get it off. I don't feel good about myself anymore. I eat very well and I am maintaining my current weight. I just do not get the exercise I need.
I was really active into Taebo before all of this began, but I don't feel like I can just jump back into that right away. I need something that would slowly work me back into shape. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help!
exercise while typing
Need a work out during your typing day? Get a Yoga ball ans use it instead of your chair the simple act of keeping you body center on the ball will work your abs. while sitting in your chair, do leg lifts by simply lifting your heel off of the floor. Instead of ittinf for lunch, stand up at the counter or walk while having a sandwhich or what ever it is that you eat.
Do you exercise periodically throughout
the day? Seems like an obvious suggestion but not everyone would think of it.
Been scribin for 20 years and my father suffered from carpal tunnel, so I wanted to make sure I practiced preventative measures.
I am fairly regularly flexing my wrists (make a ball and flex inward)then spread fingers wide like a jazz dancer...
Also interlock the fingers and "wiggle the fingers" around (should feel pressure on the joints -like a massage).
These are ones I just made up. You can develope your own of course, or find recommended exercises. Just use common sense and dont force anything.
One last thing that works great for me is one hand massages the other - and try putting your thumb in the webspace of the other thumb (outside of hand) and give a rounded firm pressure.
If these work for you (et al) let me know where to send a bill.
Yuk.
