Yes, Maalox and something else. Some kind of deadening agent, but can't remember.

I think I used Maalox when my kids were small. Poor things, both youngest boys had them everywhere
It was 100 degrees out that year. They spent a week in the house in the tub with Aveeno and more Benadryl than I think they had in their entire lives.
Thanks for the tip, my agent knows about the accident but - sm
never mentioned in any way if they could help me, which is odd since she is generally very helpful. I call her 3-4 x a year with questions, policy changes (home, jewelry and 2 cars), rates, etc. I have some doctor papers/releases to sign, maybe I will run by her office and talk with her before signing them and get her take on things. Thanks.
We just got rid of the agent from heck....sm
We signed with an agent who for 3 months sat on her keister and didn't show the house but one time. The pictures she took were horrible (took a picture of one corner of a bedroom which was really stupid)- the house was empty as we'd already moved out. Every couple of weeks we called to find out what was happening on the house and all she said was "I'm sure it will sell soon. It's posted on our website and in MLS" She came to us with glowing recommendations - but the 2 people that highly referred her also had homes that were above $300,000 and ours was $140,000 - probably accounting for the difference in sales style.
Finally the 90 day contract with this lazy person ran out. We got the house sold on our own through word of mouth and saved thousands by not paying some lazy bum agent to sit on her butt and collect a check for doing nothing.
As far as the hype goes by realtors to use them or risk legal problems - a good closing attorney will make sure that all of the i's are dotted and t's are crossed, and that everything is spelled out in the contract that needs to be. On the 2 houses I've bought over the years the agent that I worked with basically did nothing more than show me a dozen homes (we knew the area we wanted and gave them specifics on the type of house we wanted) and passed paperwork back and forth. Each of them made a good commission for that. Next home we buy we'll look on the internet first at the Assist2Sell and similar sites to see if we can find something without using lazy agents who make thousands for doing a little bit of work.
Crusing the neighborhoods, have no agent
I have 25+ years acute care experience at 1000+ bed prominent teaching hospital. Have done EVERYTHING. QA always exceptional. +++ line production. BA degree in English. Recent management changes have prompted me to protect my interests against surprises. My question is (and forgive me if this is not realistic) where can I find an employer/client who has an appreciation for someone with my education, experience and line production ability. From time to time in the past, I've superficially explored other options and was shocked to find my worth was no more than a brand new MT. Is there no value or premium placed on MTs of higher quality than the run-of-the-mill MTs.
Please forgive me in advance if anyone takes offense. This isn't about me thinking I'm better than the rest - I know what I can do and have done so for many, many years. I just don't want to waste my time in bad neighborhoods when I know there are better zip codes. I just need an "agent" to steer me in the right direction.
Thanks so much!
Who made you an IRS agent today?
Too bad that you'll never know because you don't believe it's possible. Maybe you should come out of the dark and look at the possiblities that are awaiting in the light.
Why not just ask a local travel agent? You don't have to commit thru them. nm

I agree with using a real estate agent...
especially with the market being what it is right now. I will be putting my home on the market in a few weeks. I will want someone who sells homes full time, is a go-getter, has contacts in the field, etc., etc. I think the commission is worth it...especially considering the legal battles that could possibly ensue with the sale of real estate. PLUS, an agent will not deal with FSBO....so that eliminates a LOT of possible buyers right off the bat.
Just my opinion.
Good luck to you.....well, to both of us!!
My healing agent of choise is Passion Fruit Rum, but Tequila comes second. nm

Identify the snake to your local cooperative extension agent and they'll tell you what to do, if

Again, DON'T go with a for sale by owner agent. Buy Owner is the same thing.

just please remember that....
science is a GOOD thing :) If anything, the ultimate gift of God. IMO

OKAY, BUT REMEMBER
Remember, maybe your current employer would pay you a penny more a line (MAYBE), but what about the next employer. Things in this business change quickly, and just because your current employer may up your pay, the next one might not care.
Do you remember>>bet I'm
How about those HUGE transcription machines bigger than a desk>>>>I gravitated to MT from KEYPUNCH school...REMEMBER THOSE KEYPUNCH MACHINES!!!!!
I remember
I learned to type on a manual typewriter. I actually won a county typing contest on one of those, when some of the contestants had brought their electric portables with them. I won because I relaxed, thinking I did not have a chance on a manual, and had only two errors. They counted off words for each error. I got my A.S. in HIM, only then it was Medical Records Technology. My first job was in a small physician's office, where I had an IBM Selectric. Dictation was on this little thing with belts. After that was a machine with small little discs that looked like film, that never came out of the machine, just stacked up like a juke box. After that came tapes. My references were a big Dorland's, a Taber's and a PDR. Of course, like another poster said, I had the chart. Even with all the bad things about the business, I don't think I would want to go back.
ek, remember ET...
AND REMEMBER
Oct. 1 if you are ME, you get the "reward" of 20% decrease in pay.

remember
They used to think that about male nurses too.
I believe so, but can't remember what it is! nm
Don't remember where I was
I probably found out about it at night, when the newspaper arrived. It didn't phase me at all.
In terms of my age at the time ... 27.
How do you ever remember them all?
That's my problem
Remember When? SM
I posted last evening and spent time this morning just chuckling over what people have written. I still have the red book, "A Syllabus for The Surgeon's Secretary." It is all beat up and the spine is broken but I will not part with it. Let me quote, "Only when a satisfactory degree of proficiency has been achieved should a student be given actual work assignments. She thus learns by POSITIVE TUTELAGE as contrasted with the outmoded method of trial and error." The 2nd edition, January 1965 is the date of publication. We had no electronic dictionary or medical speller. Everything we wrote had to be correct or it was literally "thrown back at us" to retype. We had to use our "Dorlands" or "Tabers" and one PDR for the use of the whole office. Believe me, these "one of a kind" books were tattered and torn but we used them or else. We "had" to get it right, no excuses. What a wonderful way to start the New Year. Somehow it seems all worth it now, sore back and tired fingers and all. Happy New Year, Everyone. Mary Mc
I remember when...
As a child;
Movies were 50 cents. We went at least every weekend...
We got cable TV...wow, more than 3 or 4 channels!
Our first VCR had a remote...with a cord running across the floor!
As a teenager;
Let me just say...leg warmers!
Big hair!
Wham! Boy George! Flock of Seagulls...
Those were the days...
I remember
as a child
Combination TV and record player. The record player could play 33-1/3, 45's AND 78's
Stores were closed on Sundays.
As a teenager
White lipstick
Rolling hair up on orange juice cans.
Cash registers without scanners.
Wishnicks (lucky troll dolls)
Don't let the trolls get you down.
i remember those
I'm old enough to remember standing at the meat counter with my mom watching the butcher weigh out the meat and wrap it and if she wanted a special cut he would step back to a table with the meat saw and cut it.
I also remember long trips on Route 66 before the interstates- getting car sick because I was sitting with my knees on the seat looking out the back window watching the stripes and telephone poles go by- my cousins had a Rambler station wagon and that was really cool cause they got to sprawl out in the back it had a luggage rack on top - oh, boy am I really telling my age
Boy am I old. I remember......
when I was a child, and there was no TV, we actually had one of those big floor model radios, and we actually sat around it and listened to it. Wow. When I was a teenager, gas was about 18 cents a gallon, and we used to go out on a Friday night and get a dollar's worth. I also remember our first color TV. Everything looked bright pink, bright blue, and bright green. Probably my most significant memory as a teenager was being on my senior class trip in Washington, D.C. when Kennedy was killed. We saw the White House flag being lowered. Car radios were on all over town, people gathered around cars crying. That was back in the time when everyone was kind of "innocent" - things like that just didn't happen. Wow, what a memory.
I remember when...
Michael Jackson was "normal" and very cool. I remember when we only got three channels out in the country. I remember being in love with Erik Estrada from CHiPs! Ahh, nostalgia. I remember when Ricky Martin was in Menudo. OMG, so cute! When I need a nostalgia fix, I watch "13 Going on 30". She was my age exactly then! Loving those layered polo's and plastic necklaces! I remember watching NEW episodes of "The Cosby Show". Oh, can't forget "The Facts of Life"! Woohoo! Good thread idea. I'm smiling now! Thanx!
WHAT I REMEMBER
When we waited for guys to call us now girls ask guys out (I have two daughters). When you would not be stuck with one guy and would go out with several. When College was an option because jobs were more plentiful. Now College is a must. When TV had the good shows like Different Strokes, Facts of Life Etc, when Kenny Rogers was as hot as Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. When TV was a little more sensored than it is now. When there was more little corner stores and not a variety of supermarkets. When you only had one brand to choose at the store and not a million. When Sundays were a day of rest and not work(stores were closed). The only time you could get donuts was on Sundays at the corner stores.
I remember when...
Milk used to come in glass bottles with cardboard tops. Bread was wrapped in waxed paper with a label on each end. Kids had to be inside as soon as the street lights when on. Everyone ate dinner together, and you had to ask to be excused from the dinner table. All 3 of us kids waited in the back seat of the car while mom did grocery shopping, and we actually believed she could see us.
As a teen I remember city buses took us everywhere, or we walked. I remember bleeding madras shirt, tight cut-off kakhi-colored jeans (but I'm not sure kakhi was a word then), boys with bleached blonde surfer haircuts, and penny loafers without socks. I remember circle pins, letter sweaters, and Aqua-Net.
Thanks, fun!
Just remember
were you were only four days ago. You posted on this board "bawling your eyes out" and having no idea what to do. I am very happy for you, please understand that. But I have been where you are right now. I am not trying to dampen your spirits or get you down, I'm just trying to give you a little bit of reality. I didn't respond to your original post because I felt that you had enough people putting their two cents in. I left my husband over four years ago. It took a lot of courage and it was a very scary thing to do. He was a very emotionally abusive man who had taken away every ounce of self-esteem I had. But I got me and my son out.
I do want you to be happy and excited about the steps you are taking, but I don't want you to forget where you were just a few short days ago. It is very easy to fall back into the same old routine. I heard many, many promises from my ex, and I stayed with him only for things to always go back to the terrible. If you hang on to where you just came from, you won't allow yourself to go back there again.
Good luck.
remember when
I remember when I was working FT outside of the home. Lots of days it grated on my last nerve but I am, make that was, a people person and felt I needed that interaction. Due to child care circumstances I work FT at home now doing transcription. I do find myself getting more and more reclusive and miss the public less as times goes on. I do, however, have a p.r.n. position at a local hospital that I work when I want and so that gets me out there. I usually works Saturdays. I can work there as much or as little as I want. It is really not a hard job but by the end of the day I'm ready to go home. Both jobs make me appreciate the other one more.
I remember that too.
Besides, it looks bad. "He was seen 1 day ago and has had 2 episodes of chest pain, 3 times a day." Come on.
I remember.....sm
I remember the group "Seacrest out" now that you mention it. But I though he did it every show last year. That's cute that you use it.
Oh how I remember it well....sm
I was married for 13 years and we never left the offspring with a babysitter (husband=European)
..and so I read somewhere WAY BACK THEN.....that if he doesn't want to leave the kids with a babysitter, you make plans with your friends and STILL GO out with them.....the article indicated that while the husband may not be happy with that, he will respect you.
I divorced him after 13 years of his CONTROLLING passive-aggressive ways....the fact that his things were always more important than our things...me being an equalist. I want a man in my life, not in my house full time. I will NEVER marry again by choice. *lol* Joni Mitchell (singer back in the 1970s) once sang a line "We love our lovin, but not like we love our FREEDOM!!!!!"
So you go on out and have a GREAT time and DON'T FEEL GUILTY......you deserve time on your own away from everyone at home. I don't even know you and can tell you that with CERTAINTY!!
ENJOY YOUR EVENING.....and hopefully you won't come home to the THIRD DEGREE (questions). *LOL*
remember this . . .
illicit - illegal
yep, that's how I remember this one too.
:)
Does anyone remember (sm)
Pat from Saturday Night Live? LOL
Yep - I sure do remember Pat from SNL.....nm
i remember
playing hopscotch on the sidewalk, jumprope and my pogo stick. In those days we were allowed to actually play outside without fear of being abducted !
I don't remember the man's name, but--sm
he and his wife did their Christmas party for many years. He was a family friend. He also did not need a "costume" as he had a long white beard etc. already. He had also given JonBenet a teddy bear that night at the party and when he was on Geraldo, he had the bear in his hands. Still just my opinion.
Yes, but I cannot remember the name of it--sm
but they do advertise occasionally for an MT to go to various in-house hospitals and type dictation. Might be good for someone with no responsibilities at home, but not me.
I don't remember much about it, other than
that I loved it. I don't think its very fancy, not a lot of bells and whistles, but I believe I used to use it at the Q, and I always made great line counts and was really fast on it. I would love to use it again! I'm sorry that I don't remember the details other than above.
They way I remember it,
As I remember it, punctuation rules changed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. I remember some teacher telling us, and I think it was when I was in college. We learned very different rules, but many doctors still use the rules I learned before this change. The new rules make more sense to me now, and I use them, bearing in mind that the trend in medical reports is to use fewer commas rather than more. Most of the medical journals that I've read use the same style I do, so I don't know why the MDs don't notice how it's done in the journals.
Now I remember why I don't come here often (sm)
I guess I referred to them as "normal interruptions", because frankly, I think we will all agree that working from home is very different from working in an office environment away from home. My 4-year-old son is home with me, which does create interruptions and since he is very active, I actually have quite a few interruptions. However, since it is my choice to have him home with me and not in day care, I try to deal with it the best that I can. I do not want to put him off or insist that he be silent while I am working. He does go to preschool 2 days a week, 2 hours a day, but that actually is more of a hindrance than a help, since I drive both ways.
I do not do housework during my working hours, other than to clean up an occasional spill or mess that might occur while I'm working. I do take occasional breaks to play with my son though. My voice mail answers all my calls, and I have caller ID so that I can screen them as well.
I appreciate your input and I think it is super that you are able to accomplish so much work in 2 hours. However, I really don't understand the tone of snootiness in your response.
I remember once
a store clerk tried to get my mom to give her SSN# in order to allow her to write a check. She told him he was crazy if he thought she was giving him that info.
It probably could be that the school needs proof that the child is who you say they are (think of kids who have been kidnapped, illegal immigrants, etc) but I would think that a birth certificate would serve the same purpose.
I don't remember how, but I
think I had to set ES as my default. Also, you have to set up your foot pedal in ES. Did you do that?
Just remember
That any job that can be done at home can also be done in India, and for less money.
From what I remember you have to
go to the queue before the doc signs off on it and put it back in your queue or reassign it to yourself, or something like that. Sorry...it has been a while.
