Nah.. again I say.. give up pretending to be a psychic. You do not have a clue.

DH will be right over. I tend to toss them out, myself.

Yeah I would probably just toss it out too

psychic
Yes - I have had many psychic experiences since the age of 9. Just in the past 2 weeks I have had 2 - the usually involve either a death or a birth. Because of my birth predictions, several women have asked me to predict their labor dates - all which have been correct. I am a Christian, so I do have a problem with this sort of thing - as the Bible says not to even dabble in anything of the occult - however, one person explained it to me this way - that I was in touch with my feelings and the feelings and experiences of others - so as to help them, somewhat of the Lord laying them on my heart - I rarely tell anyone of my predictions any longer as it causes me so much stress and really messed me up when I was a teenager. The only thing that I can say with certainty is that when the seasons change - the 2weeks before and the 2 weeks after - there are more deaths than at other times of the year. This has happened over and over in my family, as well as with my friends. Check out your family Bible if you record deaths and see how many happen around the changing of the seasons.
Someone at the office sounds incompetent. Don't let them toss
this one on you. Simple solution: Have the office manager, or an assigned employee, review the list at day's end daily, or at the beginning of the next day if the physician is still transcribing after office hours have ended. Have the physician stack the dictated charts in a designated place each day, and do a comparison check against the list. That is in no way your responsibility.....just another lagger trying to assign work to someone other than themself.
again with the psychic abilities
felt about "noble hopes?" Nope. Nada. Nyet.
When everything is said and done, I am responsible for myself. You are responsible for yourself. IF either of us were to chose to be in a position of helping others, that is a different level of responsibility. Again, I did not address how I personally feel about it, what I've done in the past, do presently or plan for the future, and I won't do it in this post, either.
Jeesh, this is wearisome. Please find a hobby, leave the profession, or get some professional help - better yet, get a MySpace web page as your personal podium.
You have to be psychic to be treated.

It's a toss up between Denise Richards and Heather Locklear...BUT...
Katie Holmes and Angelina Jolie are great role models too!!!!!!!
last nite on TV they showed a psychic's....sm
I didn't think it was Karr, UNTIL they showed on CNN last night a picture/drawing from a psychic from 1996-1997 and they held the drawing up next to Karr's picture last night and they look identical.
Too bad it took 10 years to bust this case open
It would probably take a psychic detective unless there was a witness.

Ah, Hayseed, it's one of my psychic days......sm
Did I forget to mention that? LOLOLOL You are just tooooo funny!
toss in olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika
Friends, really miss Friends :-(
Joey just isn't the same for me 
hey, psychic is in your mind and your posts. i'm an mt. i just feel when people ramble about th
they usually have tried to relax and don't realize how crazy they sound. no i don't have a clue. i am reading between your lines which aren't making sense. i pretend nothing. magic 8 balls and psychic is your area of "expertise", not mine.
Unfortunately it is legal..so yes it is business and they will continue with bad business practices

ball
You'll think I'm crazy, but I use one of those big exercise balls. If you sit on it, you are forced into good posture and work the core muscles at the same time. Most comfortable chair I ever had.
Ball sm
My PT recommended it, she said one insurance company encourages it. I haven't tried it yet, but if I had the time, I would like to, it would take some time to get used to, trying to get over the fear of falling on it -- it will come sooner or later.
You can toss all the sauces for spaghetti on top of spaghetti squash, too. Love it! nm

I'm sorry too, hair-ball

crystal ball
AND..........i bet he had no problem spelling out last name SMITH or pt takes Tylenol...that's T Y L E N O L............usually works that way with my doc's
Ball question
Any way to save a ball with a puncture? I'm not cheap, well, yes I am, but I want to at least try to save it. I LUV MINE! Suggestions?
Play The Ball, Not The Man
I am respectfully handing this thread back to Dinosaur, when someone starts playing the man, not the ball, it's time to say cheers because it serves no purpose. Loo, you don't know the first thing about me nor did you bother to take the time to say one reasonable word - to those that did take a moment to at least respond meaningfully, thank you.

DID anyone ever sit on an exercise ball?
hello
DO any of you ever sit on an exercise ball?
Is that better?! !!
I was 'on the ball' for about
3 years and I think it actually helped my lower back. Then I busted my wing (in a non-ball-related accident). That was over 4 years ago, though. I am not looking forward to the breaking-in period all over again. Still, all it's going to cost me is a little lung power to blow the thing back up, so I believe I will give it another try. Maybe it's just like riding a bicycle?
And when you get bored, you can always bounce up and down on it. Plus, your antics amuse your family and friends.
Base for the ball chairs
I actually bought my exercise ball/chair through ebay and it came with a base which has a small back support as well as wheels. It works out great.
Do you use an exercise ball for a chair?
I know some transcriptionists do, and I think the wine and the ball would make a really fun combination to watch.
Homemade stilts. We had a ball with these. sm
The ice cream truck used to make multiple trips around the block just to watch us.
Balance Ball chair. Has anyone tried?
I found this in a catalogue: http://www.gaiam.com/retail/product/95-1004
I have a balance ball, and now and then I sit on it at my desk. It really does feel great, but the problem is keeping it steady. It's large and I have a hard time keeping myself at a comfy distance from the keyboard. I was thinking of getting this chair as a "supplemental" chair. I don't think it would work for 8 hours a day, but I think it would help alleviate some pressure and strain for periods during my work sessions.
And, this may be TMI - but this past summer I had a breast reduction. (Best thing I've ever done for myself!) The change in my body has definitely affected my posture and has alleviated pain in my back and shoulders. But I really need to strengthen my back and obliques more. I thought this chair might help with that.
Has anyone used this type of chair, or even used a balance ball at their desks? What do you think?
The ball is completely in your hands . .
I don't blame you at all for being frustrated. Someone with experience would have been the wiser choice. This girl is getting an incredible opportunity. All her work will have to be gone over. She will not be able to work on her own for quite some time. We have two new girls in our office who just finished their courses (not a home course for Pete's sake), but we knew what we were getting into. I don't think you need to go to the doctor. If you do not want to be her mentor it will not work out. Otherwise, give it your best. It's going to require a lot of patience on your part. Good luck
Actually, dodge ball is the one game I

Exercise Ball at Desk
I sat on my ball at the desk a lot during my third pregnancy. It really seemed to help with some of the back problems I was having.
My brother gave me the idea - apparently many people with office jobs in Europe sit on balls all day at their desks.
I am using a regular chair now because my ball sprung a leak, but I plan on replacing it very soon.
Thanks for the warning. I keep trying to use ball of foot, but often use big toe. NM

I made my business your business by posting and...
I totally respect everyone's opinions. It is easier for others on the outside looking in. That's why I pushed the "post reply" button yesterday. I trust my fellow MTs and I know the more I read from you all, the more confident I am becoming. I just need that final push, not from him though. I also wanted to let you all know that the physical abuse while I was pregnant was documented by my doctor and the hospital. I only wish I had known then that it is a felony to abuse a pregnant woman. I also photographed my face from a couple of weeks ago and told several people in my circle. I had such high hopes for us. Now...not so much. I'm not saying that I won't try to get him to church, but I realize that God can only do so much for someone who isn't listening. j

An exercise ball can be a great thing!
I know at least a few MTs who exercise on the ball for five minutes or so every hour or so. Your schedule sounds very tight, so I guess this would be better than nothing!
Never heard of such ball and chain inflexibility before.

Well, get started. YOU can start the ball rolling.

To your liking.. i used one about the size of a tennis ball and just sliced into
"rings."
I taped a little paper duck on my selectric ball and sm
had fun watching it go back and forth while I typed. I was so happy when Selectrics came out, as those huge carriages always knocked over my cup of tea and anything else that was in its path on my desk!
I guess I'm the odd ball; I LOVE going to home parties! sm
But on the other hand, I HATE shopping. I do the majority of my shopping from home parties -- Lia Sophia (sp?) jewelry, Tastefully Simple (a fave), Pampered Chef. I'm waiting to go to a Southern Living Home Show but haven't been invited to one yet.
Anyone ever type while sitting on stability/exercise ball? sm
Working on getting back in shape. My Theraband ball is about the same height as my work chair so thinking about using it part of the day to sit on while transcribing. Wondering if anyone has every done this and how it went. Even if only for part of a day or an hour, I think it would be a great way to gain core body strength. Anyone tried this or even thought about it.
The ball works for the butt, but not so well for the lower back.
I sat on an exercise ball for about 2-1/2 years (with a 3 month break in between after giving birth to my son). The first 1-1/2 years before I had my son were great, as my abs were in pretty good shape. After the delivery and after my abs were shot, I had a hard time keeping good enough posture of my back and ended up putting more strain on my lower back, causing injury. I just switched back to a regular chair, and my back feels great comparitively, but my butt hurts. I am going to try one of those donut things though.
If you do try the exercise ball, I noticed that if I kept moving on it, I typed faster and produced more (kept me going more), but be very careful to make sure you are keeping a good posture.
Good luck.
Magic
I use Stainless Steel Magic which you can buy at Bed Bath and Beyond and Home Depo. You have to be so careful not to use any product that will cause streaking. You must never use like a wet rag or anything, or windex, so this spray product and also the wipes that they make are really the safest. Do a fairly small area at a time and wipe it off with a soft cloth, then buff. It will look like a picture in a magazine. It's the last thing I do before company comes, and it looks great, but not for long! I also use their countertop magic and cabinet magic. The cans are like $5.00 each and last forever.
No magic in VR
I lost an account to a radiology group and they have been trickling back. Any VR program that is only 4K can't be very good. These guys to which I refer must have spent 100K on their program.
No magic with MM (sm)
It is HORRIBLE. I am so stressed out from trying to get a decent line count. I know how you feel. I have never worked on a platform worse than this.

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.

i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
As for wrapping......that's another ball game (hope to do it all tonight, we'll see). - nm
