Videos
I watched the videos....I am an animal lover, but the truth is...the way the beef and pigs are killed is the norm. It's been going on for generations. When I was growing up, there was a slaughter house in my town and if you would walk past there during the day, you could hear the cattle cry.
Even your local farmers still use the method of slitting throats and/or shooting them in the head, or using an electric prod to the brain to put them down....but at least you know they are healthy. It's sad but what would someone suggest as a more humane way? I have no idea.
If PETA had their way, there would be no animals for food. Then they would start on the veggies. PETA is an out of control, radical bunch of freaks. I know someone who was part of that group and he was absolutely nuts. He would steal your dog, let your pet rabbits loose, etc. if he saw them in pens. I have no use for PETA. If you look at the end of the video, it it telling you to become a vegetarian and we all know that you need the protein and iron from meat in our diet.
But, on the other hand, I sure don't want to eat any of those animals seen in the video. I guess I will start going to my local farmer from now on. I don't believe in growth hormones for animals either. It's not natural.
Sorry. I'm sure some will disagree with me and that's why I signed myself annomymous.
WATB, I'm another fan of her videos.
I do her 3 mile abs one every other day and walk on treadmil for 30 minutes every other day. Do you think every other day is enough to get results?
MT videos on you tube
If you guys need a laugh (or maybe a good cry, depends on how you look at it), check out the videos on you tube about medical transcription, the schools, etc. Check out the one on the Azimuth academy. I watch other things on you tube, never thought to key in "medical transcription."
News videos.....thanks for the info. nm

news videos and Rader sentencing
Go to MSN.com. On the left three quarters down the page it says news videos. When you click on that a box comes up with all little boxes of the days news videos and the past week. There was a box to click for sentencing hearings for Rader live. When I clicked the whole page was the court room. Yesterday it lasted eight hours. Today it lasted about six hours. Check out MSN.com and the news videos. They have today show videos, Meet the Press videos, news videos, MSNBC videos, music videos, funny videos, INXS weekly videos from the show.
Here's link to her videos on Leno's page.sm

go to Gofish.com and look under recently uploaded videos, or
search by name and you can watch the song he sung last night on AI. In fact you can watch MOST of Taylor's performances and some of the others.
Leslie's WATP videos are fabulous (sm)
I use these and when I do them faithfully...WOW! What a difference in that tummy fat and overall toning is incredibly fast! Yoga is also a gentle and wonderful way to tone up, destress, and get in touch with your body/mind self. Good luck!!
Have you checked YouTube for typing videos?
There are probably some there.
Leslie's walking videos might be good, or just get out and walk in general. Or do TaeBo at half

I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!! You know exactly what you said. You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed! You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT. Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you. Why have kids at all? Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked! Give me a break! Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT. Your own words showed your heart. Period.
Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.
I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.
So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.
Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.
I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu
call her by her first name. The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away.
I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated. Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie. :-)
But, as someone pointed out, to each his own. If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that. I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks."
Please do not simply give up, kids or no kids!
Talk with a professional. This can be worked through if he really puts forth the effort and you participate. The right counseling can truly make your marriage even better than it was before, if BOTH parties are willing to be honest. Give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain!
music
I am a child of the 80's and felt like I couldn't be burdened with finding gigs. I am an accomplished pianist (A little rusty at 43) but I love music where there is only piano playing. Does DH like Elton John, Billy Joel, (ok - stretch -KC & JoJo's version of Lately), and Stevie Wonder. Nothing like a man and his piano.
Can't get into her music?
I don't know why not. Her and Mellancamp sound just as bad.
Aah, music...
Taking a break. Listening to some tunes to relax. I think some other people should too. Anyone ever heard of Jill Scott or Erykah Badu? Common?
Yay! Me too! MUSIC!
I agree with that, music makes my world so much brighter! I throw on some Stevie Wonder and I can't help but cheer up!
Music
Yep, I love the 50's-60's music. Makes me want to move.
music sm
I have a 5-disc CD changer that goes all day while I am working. All music types. I love it! Need the extra noise!
music
I like total quiet while transcribing. But if I'm doing some other kind of "busy" work in my office like filing or more of a data-entry-type job I can do mindlessly, I find that some classical, light jazz or easy-listening type music helps me be more productive.
What kind of music? nm

Music downloads
I have a music site with Burnlounge

and they are a legal dowload site :)
Music downloads
I have an online musicstore with Burnlounge at http://burnlounge.com/mlbliss and they are LEGAL to download from.
I would be very careful dowloading free music--they are fining people for this. If you aren't paying for it--then consider it illegal
Music in the background
I have to turn on my music in the background. It is just distracting enough to force me to focus on my dictator..sounds crazy doesn't it?! That is for the boredom. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm not working and my mind is just drifting off. For the inconsistent income, I have a side income not involved in MT and when things get slow here, I just switch my focus to my other at-home business. Good luck to you!
No loud music at all. It is more sm
like soothing music you would get with yoga. A lot of people like Windsor Pilates. I personally did not care for them. I LOVE Denise Austin's pilates DVDs. I have a couple. One has a 30-minute workout and then I have one that is Hit the Spot in which the work outs are only 10 minutes. I will do one of the core or abdomen ones in the a.m. and then do a lower bod one later in the day.
Pilates do wonders for your strength, toning, flexibility. I have been doing them off and on for years. If I stop doing them for a few months and come back, I can tell the different in my flexibility and strength in just about 4 work outs. I do them about 3 times a week.
Instant Music
You might want to look into a product called Instant Music - its designed to convert cassette recordings to digital files and is very inexpensive.
Soothing music
We all have some dictators that we would like to strangle. However, I find it very helpful to play New Age or other soothing music in the background while I do transcription. Not loud enough to disturb but just there to soothe my nerves when these dictators upset me.
Absolutely must have music - sm
If you haven't tried it already, sign up for a free Pandora Radio account.
You can design your own stations based on their recommendations or create your own and have commercial free music all day long.
If I have a dictator who is a very quiet talker, I just click over and pause my radio station. You can also adjust the volume separate from your dictation, which is really nice. Low as you want, loud as you need! :)
I have three stations that I have created to suit my moods.

How to listen to music on CPU - sm
Am looking for a site that allows you to listen to a track or so on an album/CD without downloading it. Any ideas? Thank you.
Music alternatives for ACDC..sm
My 9yo grandson is into ACDC. I want to turn him on to some alternatives. I am downloading some music for a Xmas present for him and need some suggestions as to something a 9yo ACDC fan might enjoy. Thanks.
What is the best music download site. Need to
be able to burn CDs too. We don't have iPods.
Tried iTunes - liked it, but since we don't have Apple products not sure it will work for us.
Tried Wal-Mart - liked it, but songs are only good for 30 days unless you burn. I like to burn, but usually have that CD in the car and like to play off the computer too.
Various others that have a monthly fee charge additional $$ if you burn to CD and then if you discontinue the service supposedly all MP3 files are rendered inactive.
We range from 11 to 48 and like a variety of music, also like something user friendly.
I need a chart where they list all the services and the pros and cons of each.
Nope, and no music on, either! Must have silence! :) nm

Don't watch television, but have music
playing very softly in the background.
Having music on makes me happy :)
If I am having the worst of days turning on my favorite music changes my entire day.
I get it too, also from headphones while listening to music. (s/m)
I much prefer the old, in-your-ear style of headphones, like a stethoscope. Just be careful not to stick 'em too far in, or that can hurt, too. But the cartilage definitely gets sore if something (even a phone) rests against it too long.
