I do! I usually get mine at The Body Shop and Bath and Body Works. Thanks for posting that link. Do

No, it's not equivalent at all if you have
NO WAY have I ever spent as much time downloading digital files as I have running work to the offices in town. Unless you live within a block of the offices, that's not going to be the case for most people.

My opinion is not meant to offend you, Patti, but that is my experience and I've done both digital AND analog. Also, I do not pay extra for FTP - I use the space provided through my ISP, which I pay for regardless to have Internet. It requires very little maintenance on my part and I've never had a problem with it. I have a call-in system and I've also never had a problem that required me going to the office. Although having to go to the offices once in a while is a LOT different than doing it on a DAILY basis, and that is not at all what I was talking about. It's programmed and fixed on my end, not in the docs' offices.

My gripe is having to deliver/pickup work daily and spend an hour running to offices, an hour in which I am not making any money but spending it on gas. With gas at $3 a gallon (or more), it is not cheap, as I have a good little trip to the offices of my clients. I've never had a situation where the uploading or downloading of files took more than 5-10 mins, tops, and I'm able to continue working while that is taking place in the background. I can't say the same for dropping off work and picking up tapes where I'm losing an hour of production every day.

Not every IC aspires to have a big service or network to pick up add'l clients, either. Some simply want to remain ICs and pick up a few accounts to bring in money for their own purposes, not so they ever have to hire help. Personally, I wouldn't want to market for another account because I know I couldn't handle the extra work and I'm not interested in ever hiring subcontractors again. Bad experiences with that, too. This is all just MY personal experience, and if it differs from yours, I'm sorry, but not everyone will be just like you, either, and wish to be seen and heard. In my experience, many of the docs couldn't care less who is doing their work so long as it gets done. I get invited to office parties, luncheons, and the like, so it's not like they NEVER see me, either. You completely took everything I said the wrong way. This was all just meant to show another side, a side which many others might also appreciate. If you choose to cater to clients and seek more, that's fine. That's just not my preference or style. I'm a worker bee and I don't need or want all the frills.

Believe it or not, some of us are not lonely at home and actually prefer that. I worked in-house for YEARS and I have no desire to do that again. As I said, my preference and my experience so YMMV, but I feel people have the right to hear that side of things, too.
You honestly think an MT has an education equivalent to a RESIDENT?!?
Oh PUULLEEEEZZZ.

Get over yourself!

LOL!


typing online in caps is equivalent to
SHOUTING
I second the massage
I got a gift certificate for a massage and really that was one of the best gifts ever. It is something you normally don't get for yourself. One bad thing, though, once you get one, you gotta get another.
tried massage?

I don't know how far along your carpal tunnel is, but massage can prevent it. maybe it can help it too, even though you have it. deep tissue/therapeutic massage. the muscles around the median nerve should be kept supple and loose and relaxed to not squeeze down on it.  it saved me and many others.  I maintain with once a month treatments. it can be expensive, but what are you willing to sacrifice, is the question.  hope this helps.  :) 


It is her body, but now there is ANOTHER body inside of her. sm
Right now I counsel pregnant teens as I had 2 myself and regret that decision every single day of my life. I've learned over the years that God has forgiven me and that my 2 babies are waiting for me, but the guilt and shame that this decision ultimately brings isn't worth it. Besides, that baby sooo deserves a chance at life, love, and laughter. Don't you agree?

I agree with Ronald Reagan: I am Pro Choice - if the baby has a choice, then I am pro choice.
what is the .065 cents per gross line equivalent to in 65 character lines?
Would it be about 8 cpl 65 characters or higher?
I had thought about massage therapy...SM

I've been working in the office lately and the wellness department and employee health offer massages to employees and you can use payroll deduction to pay.  It's something like $10 for a 15 minute chair massage and $30 for a 30 minute table massage.  For the 15 minute massage, I could take a 15 minute break and run up and get a massage! 


Maybe I'll give it a try.  Maybe even worth a drive in once or twice a month for a massage when I'm back working at home!


Deep muscle massage every other Friday-

There are still body stresses.
Physically, the stresses are still the same, the sitting, and while you do not have all the heavy keyboarding, you still have neck, arm, leg swelling, back hurting, and all the little things that just go naturally with sitting at a computer all day. Your tendinitis should improve, however!

Stop and think MTBusy-body
A professional company, well organized, will have the specs on the accounts UP FRONT, on file, before you start the account. Did you not stop to think about that? If you are going to come down on the girl, come down on the company, where the problem begins. A well organized company has the specs on file, gives the preferences of the particular client and does not waste time sending preferences piecemeal. Geesh, did you not think of that?
start with the inside of your body
and drink a lot of water. The rule of thumb is 6 oz per pound of body weight.
Exactly- my brother is an ex body builder
and certainly very masculine, but he gets a pedicure every month - his wife is all for it (you know how those hooves can get, guys! LOL), whitens his teeth, highlights his hair, and shaves his entire body (left over behavior from body building days, no doubt).
Is anyone out there that is heavy truly comfortable with their body? sm

I have had a struggle with weight my entire life. As we speak now I am on Weight Watchers.  I don't want to be model thin because I know that is never happening and some people aren't made to be that way.  I am tall, an inch from being 6'.  Before when I look at pictures I am thinking "Hey, I was not so bad.  I DID carry my weight well."  But during those times I thought I was horrible.  Now, just topped the scale to 300 and I am scared to death!  In the past year, since working from home and being depressed, I have put on an easily 50 lbs.  I weigh more than I weighed with being 9 months pregnant with my son. 


Anyway, I know for my health I need to get my weight down.  But the question is - if you are heavy, how do you feel good about yourself and your body, enough to let that stress go so you can focus on other things in life?  This consumes my every thought.  Sometimes I think I need to see a psychiatrist to get this matter resolved. 


I pray daily and ask God to help.  I feel if I can learn to have a better self image of myself that I CAN conquer this goal and lose the weight.


Tips please....I don't look at other heavy women as ugly and fat.  A lot of people I couldn't imagine being thin, yet they look great!  I just wish I could picture myself that way. 


BTW - in the almost 6 years my husband and I have been married, he has NEVER seen my naked, even when I wasn't so heavy.  It is always "give me the covers, turn out the lights" and never intimate without clothes on.  I want real intimacy.  I want to feel good about myself. How do I achieve this while in the process of losing weight?


Selling body parts in the US sm
There was a brief mention of a recent arrest (I believe it was in New York) of a phony business set-up involving funeral homes, etc., selling bone grafts, etc. from dead bodies (one was supposedly Allistair Cook's body of the PBS fame) and replacing these parts with PVC piping in some cases. These people made "millions" and the patients/families had to be notified. One man was practically crying because he had been told he has to be tested every 6 mos. for HIV, hepatitis, etc., since he had a recent surgery on his neck. They said it may not present itself for years in some cases. They showed some gentlemen being led away in handcuffs but the story was cut short. Anyone else know about this travesty and why so little else has been said about it or is there any web site, etc., that explains it in more detail? Would like to know morel I am very concerned for the recipients as well as the unbeknownst-to-them "donor" families.

No busy-body MT, just somebody who has your and dano's number.
And kill one of your screen names. You have been outed.
Don't be so quick to judge others by yourself busy-body MT!
No joke.

PS: Where do you get the TIME IN your busy schedule to prepare essays and lectures to MTs what with your "busy" MTing and getting degrees etc? How's dano? She seemed to back you up with essays also. Same hahaha. Worn out?
jokes on you busy-body MT. hahaha.
really can we get someone to look into busy MT's background before she receives one more report to transcribe regarding her unfortunate habit of psychopathic lying and associated protesting too much on MT boards? Who knows what lurks IN this deviant mind?
I also love to get nice body lotion
or bubble bath or great smelling candles are always good.

I takes at least 1 week for the anesthesia to get out of your body. sm
It will take another 3-4 weeks to get your energy back and at least a full 6 months to 1 year to feel back to normal, whatever normal means?.

I has been 11 months for me now, and I am still tired more often than not.

I was up and moving around and taking long walks after the 2 week though. Back to work in 2-3 weeks. I had abdominal hysterectomy, so it may depend on whether you had abdominal or laparoscopic.

They say, lap-hys is better on the body and you are back to normal faster.

Hope this helps.

Head tired, body anxious
 Anybody else have symptoms where your head is tired, but your body is anxious?  At night it is the opposite, my head keeps running, but my body is tired.  I find it hard to focus on work, but if I take anything to help me concentrate, i.e., Adderrall, then I feel all my muscles tense up and my heart beat faster.  Its driving me nuts.  Anybody else have this problem and have a remedy?  Thanks!
Any body know of a family practice hiring PT..
I am currently working full time doing hospital work but things are slow all around for everybody.  I was hoping to find a small acct to supplement on a perm. basis.  Any help would be appreciated. I am new to this board so I hope it was okay to ask here.
i wouldn't dare disfigure my body that way.
happy valentine's day to you too, though!!!!

Every person's body is different and heals at a different rate.
You could be back in 5 days or 30 days. It depends on how your body handles it.

I was back in 4 days after my first C-Section - I was out of bed the same night of surgery, walking around the halls, and home in 2 days. The woman next to me was in bed for 2 days moaning and complaining the whole time.

So, as you can see, everyone is different. Good luck to you.
It is her body...however, the life insider her does not belong to her!
God blessed her with this child and now she needs to find out why.  If she is not ready for this then thats her decision but there are other options out there.  Abortion is unexceptable birth control.  Maybe by taking your niece to an alternative to abortion pregnancy center (family.org has an abundance of info) they can give her all the information she needs to make the best decision not a blind decision.  I will pray for your situation. Please keep us posted!
It is because the body burns fat instead of glycogen for energy. sm
Without carbs, there is no insulin spike to store fat as fat in the body, so it goes through it or is burned as energy. The body preferentially burns fat stores since there is no glycogen to burn because there is no consumption of carbs.

Any body has heard about counting lines a 60 bytes?
I thought line counts was characters or keystrokes. I have been approached by a MT company who say they charge as "bytes". Does anyone know how we count using bytes?
