You'd probably be AMAZED at how many people do fall for these things.

Bad things? what bad things? people's being petty and small?

Going in the summer or the fall? If the fall, you need to be there early enough while the colors
s
What, like most people don't do those things?
I have a low flow shower head and a water conserving toilet. You don't even need to shower or wash your hair daily. Nobody gets that dirty. Take a sponge bath every other day. I had my house weatherized and analyzed for energy efficiency to be sure I wasn't wasting gas or electricity. Then I updated the windows, insulated the house, and installed a new energy efficient furnace. Then there's the on-demand water heaters instead of the ones that run all the time. I have no magazine or newspaper subscriptions because you can find everything you want to read online. I resell, reuse, or donate everything I can. I recycle aluminum, glass, paper, plastic, tin, and any lumber or metal scraps. I avoid styrofoam and CFCs. I work at home so I don't have to commute. I have an electric scooter and a bicycle so I don't have to drive. I have my own organic garden and compost bin. I freeze or can my homegrown fruits and vegetables, then reuse the jars the next year. This reduces the need for tin cans and for semi trucks to transport the cans to my grocery store, too. I even divert rainwater for watering purposes instead of running a hose. Everybody I know of does all of those things and more. We're not treehuggers preaching to everyone else about how we're holier than thou either.
But if people who know things do not post
it on the board, how should TechSupport know that some people already know it?
So she offers her knowledge in a, as she explained it,
rather extensive and elaborate way, so to give all the information and avoid misunderstandings.
End of discussion!
Today is Saturday, my free day, I have to bake a chocolate-cream-cheese cake for my daughter who comes and visits!
Have a nice Saturday evening!
She's not mental, it's just that she's right about many things people can't face up to...
Most of what she says is true. It's been far more documented as fact and the truth than the information the administration has given and still gives.
As far as soldiers.....read optruth.org. There are many soldiers who do not agree with this war or how this administration has handled it and they need to be listened to.
I love the way everyone things VR people are the slow ones
I type about 140 wpm and averaged on straight typing over 2000 lines per day. The hospital was outsourced and VR took over. I love VR and why do you assume that only slow typists like? I love it, our system is not crap and now I average above 500 or more lines per hour. Don’t know where people get off talking about the slow ones. You are assuming.
Because the people who manage things in health
My thoughts are, when their bad kharma finally comes back to them, I hope it really hurts. Then they'll know how it feels to be an MT.
QA discrepancy... told 2 different things by 2 different people. How would you handle this?
I am a brand new employee, so don't feel comfortable in this situation. 
TIA
Some people have said things about reliability issues. Others have said there can be problems with

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - animals know things people don't.

Yes, odd. But, have they ruled out other things such as a brain clot? When people die sm
in their sleep, it could be a number of things. Since it just happened, I would imagine they are running multiple tests right now.
If, and this is huge speculation...If he was on drugs before or then, then an MI is definitely possible and not unusual at this age.
why do people want to turn nice things dirty?
I am so sick of people like this that just seem to ruin everything. This is how it all starts!!!! I love that this is a place I could be with my fellow MTs since I work at home. This is like my office!!! I love that our mod is looking out for us. THANKS!!!!
What I think is so sad is that people may give up good jobs to go there to find out these things all
to late. The newbies can learn and use MQ and move on which they do but of course the clients suffer then with all the people learning on them but this is what MQ causes and when they lose clients with poor quality or people that just throw out work then they caused their own problems. You cant keep good MTs with no work I dont care what incentives you offer because they mean nothing with no work ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I wish people would understand that when MQ hires them.
Bless your heart and your sons. Some people just don't know when to NOT mess with things
Sorry you have a goof for an ex, and I hope your son's footie will be ok. Chillie
PS! Also watch out for people who leave things attached to your doorknob -
I'm sitting right here in the front room (drapes usually drawn where I sit), and I not only hear them come up to leave stuff on the door, I ALSO hear them try the knob to see if it's unlocked. Pretty darned creepy how many low-lifes and predators there are out there.....
Those things are not indicative of a hero, RadGuy. People who fought in battle
are hero's. One who puts themselves in harms way to protect another is a hero.
I agree, jeez, I can't believe how quick people are to suggest quitting the minute things are bad.

Amazed how someone can
Good one!
Also for everyone that "thinks" they are perfect while doing transcription, I then offer you to get rid of spell check - hmmmmmm, don't want to - can I ask why? Perhaps that is because we are all HUMAN and make mistakes.
Think about it, what transcription platform DOES NOT HAVE SPELLCHECK - Perhaps that tells you something right there - we all make mistakes and to bash someone for a itsy bitsy mistake is nonsense!!!!
I am amazed every day...
by the amount of crap MTs will put up with just to work at home. The MTSOs have found a gold mine of suckers and most milk it for all it is worth. 
Amazed at IQs below
You would think with soooo many smart MTs out there, with IQs above the average range and all, one of them would come up with a way for us all to make more $$$$$$ in our line of work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm amazed this issue came up because
just today, I transcribed a note where the PA dictated that the patient "felt crampier this month than last month." Although I typed it as dictated, I haven't been sure all day that I was correct in doing so.
I can't find that word in any dictionary anywhere. Just because I may have "formed" an English word correctly doesn't necessarily make it a word, does it?
I know. She always totally amazed me!
Right when all this mess started, I put a post on the Main Board asking MT50 are you still here, but never got an answer, so I guess not.
amazed and horified at dictators sometimes
Talking about the speedy Gonzales' out there, who take the fun and ease out of typing American as first language, albeit so few and far between. Amazed that any human can dictate a three page report in one breath under 60s seconds. Do they go to speed talking school? Do they think its a requirement for MTs to hear this sort of speak? I know its not their every day speak because when they talk to nurses, or on the phones, or even to themselves, they sound like normal paced relaxed speaking humans. The horrified part is having to type them. Oh well, back to my day! Just thought i'd gripe.
I have read responses and I'm still amazed that
People will always come to the defense of dogs that haven't been properly trained. This is not about whether or not you love your dog or whether or not your dog is part of your family.
Our dog is a very big part of our family and we love him dearly and treat him like a king. A king dog that is. He is our dog and he knows that he is our dog. He is not a human member of our family.
Dogs should not be taught to think that they are human. They need to be trained to deal appropriately with humans and know that they are are actually dogs, that we are humans, and which place they belong in the human world.
The whole idea of treating a pet like a human is ridiculous and that is where people run into trouble.
I don't allow my husband or children in my office when I'm working and I certainly would not have them take a backseat to a dog. That kind of emotional attachment would need some serious thought and possibly some appropriate counseling.
The last sentence kind of amazed me ...
with the spelling of "to". QA?
I frankly am amazed that most let this happen
When I had to work and support a family I did not have the option of sitting around and waiting on work. Hubby and I had a talk about this just last night. He said as long as they allow it to happen it will continue. Years ago as a divorced mother who had a family to support, out of work, well then I got out and found something else. I was never without work, in fact I worked several transcription jobs because I always wanted to have more money as I loved to travel and hated to not be able to buy like I wanted to. Never had food stamps, no welfare, nothing from outsiders, just me doing it. Bought a home on my own, cars, traveled, food always on the table. I never just sat and waited for work.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Ugh.... Please don't fall for ....
this boloney! I firmly believe that WE are creating this explosion in cases of ADHD. The child is FOUR YEARS OLD and not developmentally ready for "school work." In my day we went to kindergarten as our first school experience. The emphasis was learning to be part of a group, socializing appropriately, listening to the teacher, retelling stories, and basically learning HOW to be a student. We didn't even start reading until 1st grade. I was reading at 2nd year college level in the 9th grade. I know that's not how it's done anymore, but it should. A child that age learns through play. A few kids pick up reading at 4 or 5, but it shouldn't be forced. Some kids don't blossom with reading until 2 grade, and it's perfectly okay. Studies show that children pushed early on academics compared to children who are not pushed are equal by about 3rd grade, showing that the early pushing does nothing long-term towards academic success. Reading TO your preschooler, providing stimulating play, and opportunities for socialization with other children is all they need. I would personally find a preschool that has that belief as opposed to pushing the academics. Your child was a newborn baby 4 years ago and now she's suppose to be doing worksheets and learning to read and do math? I don't think it's right.
It was 24 yrs this fall, though no all of that is MT nm

Fall is my favorite

Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Now that fall is here and I'm having to use heat my
face is dry and itchy. I've started using a humidifier to add moisture in the air, but I need a lotion too. I have very sensitive skin too. I've used several OTC lotions and they haven't helped much. Looking for a good moisturizer for all over, but mostly for the face.
Yes, but only after I fractured it off in a fall. sm
Had a Colles fx of the radius, too. Now, if I rest my wrist the wrong way, I feel the ulnar styloid pain. You probably should get yours checked out to see if anything can be done to help. I truly feel your pain!
Fall Branch, TN, but...sm
Florida bound if we ever sell this farm!
Wow, hair fall???
I have some problems, but sure can't attribute hair fall to MT work?!!! Have that checked out, please!
My problems are: Aches and pains here and there, swollen ankles/feet (sometimes severe), and I do believe my eyesight has changed some in the past few years due to computer usage.
No fall out from me, I agree with you
People that are complaining are the ones from home, started out at home, after graduating from an online school that promised them the big bucks. Get real training (2-year degree), train at a hospital first, get your lines up, and then venture out on your own. I bet that is how the non-complainers on here did it. They were confident in their skills and line count before trying to venture out on their own. If I had done an online school, worked at a national for a year, made 100 lines an hour, I would think this career sucks too! So instead they are here crabbing. If I spent as much time on these boards complaining about the industry, I wouldn't be making any money either. Get over it, quit complaining, and get to work! I didn't even know our industry "sucked" (as so many people think it does) until I came here and read posts. Get over it or get out! It is sooooo getting old hearing about it. Same crap, different day! Can anyone tell me about an online forum where the real professionals are. I can't handle MTStars anymore. Good bye!
I fall into that category
I've been at this over 25 years. In its heyday, I have W2s showing 65-70,000. Yeah, I worked easily 55-60 hours a week, but at least I felt I had something to show for it. I'm putting the same hours at the desk, but only making a third of it now, between the lowered wages and the lack of work. I'm too old to learn an entire newly career (I'd be dead by the time I finished any lengthy course), nor do I make enough money to pay for anything; most of the time I have a hard enough time keeping the utilities on, let alone the money for classes of any sort.
I don't where the $31,000+ is being made for an 8 hour shift 5 days a week, but please point me in that direction.
How much did your income fall?

Ever heard the old saying if you dont believe in something, you'll fall for anything? while you sit
people are having true experiences that make them have hope and belief that there is something more out there. With that attitude of yours, you're going straight to limbo!
Kids don't fall out of the sky, sweetcheeks. nm

never thought I would say it, but can't wait for FALL
It is so hot here in Ohio. The temperature can be in the high 80s or 90s but with the humidity, it puts the heat index up in the hundreds. You can't even walk outside without feeling like you can't breath. Can't wait for fall with the cooler air and the falling leaves. We are holed up in the house with the curtains closed and the shades drawn and the air cranked. Hot where you are?
I love fall but it is too short. nm

Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?
Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....
Did you just fall off the turnip truck?
Of course it's a scam. Grow up.
Unfortunately, it will fall on deaf ears.
But give it a shot.
Sure if you have a husband to fall back on!
I wouldn't be able to raise my children on my salary alone. We would have to live at the Salvation Army!
June to October? More in fall
Son will start Princeton in the Fall. nm
