bickering sons, love your idea

In Reply to: ROFL Your post reminds me...SM - Been here before

Isn't it just amazing that teens will go to all lengths to help a friend, but you ask for help w/chores and it's like you pulled out their wisdom teeth with tweezers!  Needed help cleaning carpets...they were probably growing the cure to cancer after all the kids tromping in my house...told them ALL/friends and kids that they WERE GOING to do most of the work with the cleaner..."Oh cool...OMG, you could literally see black and white from all the areas they missed..."why do WE have to do it"...Well,  I could probably pick up each of yours DNA all over and for sure, MY friends do not track crap all over.


Another issue is how most adults in our community/teachers, neighbors etc, tell me just what great kids/nice polite/helpful I have and i find myself RE-introducing myself and connecting to my kids...yep, that's who they're talking about..and I guess they wipe off that nice attitude when they hit the front door....guess I should'nt complain on that one.  Better than getting nasty complaints about them

I love that idea! Too funny! (nm)

That's a great idea. I'd love to see him too.

If you don't know how to post his picture I'm sure there's several people here who'd be more thanhappy to show you how to do it. 


Come on. We're all waiting with bated breath to see your hunk of a husband because we know he probably puts Tom Cruise to shame.


I love this idea! I'm in the planning stages of a website... SM

and would love to sell this T-shirts on my website at some point in the future. 


I have a friend who is in medical billing, got her coding certification, but can't get a job without actual work experience as a coder.  So we've brainstormed and thought we might go into business together.  Create a company that offers medical billing and medical transcription and eventually coding services to private practices, hospitals, etc.


I'm also toying with the idea of incorporating some sort of online MT mentoring/education program into the new business venture.


But like I said we are in the planning and brainstorming stages and when I read about this T-shirt idea, I thought it would be a fabulous addition to the website.  Because one thing is very certain our business venture will stand firmly against offshoring.


Okay, enough with the bickering...

48K, 40 hours per week, acute care, incentive after 1200 lines


To everyone bickering!
All I can say is don't we have better things to do than bicker back and forth?  Just because one person isn't offended by not getting anything doesn't mean that someone else won't be.  We all have different things that offend us.  If the original poster felt like she was slapped in the face with the $5 gift card, fine!  That is how it made her feel.  Her feelings don't make it right or wrong and not everyone has to agree with her feelings.  Get a life and quit bickering about someone's feelings.
good idea with the potpourri, love the scent of cinnamon
  I also like peach and orange smells too, but they never seem to last with the candles or other glade air fresheners, and the expense is too much.  I have two animals and a litter box to cover.  Those air things with the fan do not work, nor does the thing that squirts out scent periodically, waste of money.
re: tired of bickering kids

Lordie you remind my of the not so good ol days...kids...


Selective hearing or NOT hearing you...well, I did learn that paybacks are heck does work.  When they ask you a question or demanding your attention, just ignore them, till they get really frustrated  "MOM, are you dea" was a good one...then i politely tell them...hmmmmmmmmm see how it feels?!


Bickering/arguing/not my turn...mine got so bad that I got a big egg timer, every time they started their crap, I turned the timer on until they stopped, showed them how much time they had wasted with this not my turn crap., kept a running tally for each day.THEN, when they wanted to go to a movie/mall or anywhere it took mom's wheels to get...we just put the timer on and made sure we did NOT leave until the same amount of time they had wasted all week....boy did that crap shorten in no time.this worked wonders, but..I feel for you, wish I could say it gets better but so far...NOT..lol


All this petty bickering and it's not even the MedQ board! oh my!

What part of KY are you in? My 2 youngest sons--sm
live in Nicholasville. Just came back from a month's visit. Love the state and would love to move there but my husband is from FL, we live in NC and he can't stand the snow!!
My twin sons were developmentally delayed. sm
Both repeated kindergarten twice. They are 11-year-old now but every quarter they are on the principals list. I am so glad that I didn't listen to what other people said. They just weren't ready.
My 3 sons are eating me outta house and home too! :) NM
d
I have four sons, two brothers, five nephews, and 10 male cousins.

When is the last time you hung around at an elementary school?  Yes, all the little boys in kindergarten and first grade race around after school trying to smack each other in the butt or the crotch.  I don't know why they do it.  I don't like it, and I don't tolerate it.  I even tell the other kids in front of their parents to knock it off.  Don't even tell me to watch my generalizations because I've seen it with my own eyes.  It doesn't make them little perverts.  It just means some parents need to teach their kids about boundaries and inappropriate touching.  My kids never, ever did it until the other kids at school did it to them first.  I do not like it one bit, and I told the parents of the other kids.


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
My sons are born again too and their wives can't leave the house, home school the kids, no tv,
and if my DIL wanted to work, it is out of the question. One of my sons just believes in having babies and having babies. They now have 5. I divorced his dad and apparently his dad taught them this is the American way. I just feel so bad for both my sons' wives. They both are born again and both live their life that way.
How is this political? This is a state of living, not bickering political points. Truth hurts...NM

love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Yep that's it, 4000. Love, love love the zoom
But I feel like a dork typing...every time I try to type But it is coming out as Nut!
I love it too - love doing my nails 5 hours a day and staying awake

Love NOT getting paid while sitting doing my nails too.  It's a real turn on.


I tell all my friends to try it -- sit in front of your computer while you have no money to pay your rent and instead do your nails, you get a real buzz down in the pit of your stomach.


 


Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
People either love it or hate it. I personally love it
but I know a lot of people say you cannot make any money on it and will not work on it. I do okay. I'm obviously not getting rich but I am making a living. I found it easier than Dictaphone and faster such in downloading and uploading job and you only have to log on one system and not like Dictaphone where you have to log onto the VPN and then log onto the program. It's always worth a try, but yes, the biggest complaint I hear is that no one can make a living and the cpl isn't that great.
I went back in house and love it. I love not being
secluded. I was working in my PJs, less organized and feel much better now that I get up and dress for work and see people (even those in traffic aren't so bad anymore). I find that I have more of a life now, and my family says that I spend more time with them now.

Working at home served its purpose for a long time; I was ready to go out into the world again now that I have no little ones at home.
BD WONG! I love him! I love all CSI and Law and Orders!
I am so addicted. I actually schedule my job and family around the shows LOL.
Love love love my chair
The arms can be lowered so they won't be in your way, I don't know about the tilt limiter. But I bought my off ebay about 6 years ago and can't do without it. No I do not think you can find another chair that even compares to the aeron, changed my working life completely, no sore back or butt. You won't regret it, but you will if you go for a cheap imitation.
LOL. I love it. I also love the song sm
I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now. Miss the Happy Goodmans!
Repeat after me: I love my job, I love my job. :) nm

You can love a job and still love being home! sm

I got into medical transcription for many reasons.  Yes, one was that I wanted to be home with my children, another was that I wanted to be in the medical field, and yet another was this just fits me.  Medical terminology and grammar are two things that have always come easily to me.  So, this fits.  I can work early, early mornings and late nights when they are asleep.  Also during afternoon naps.  Yeah, doesn't leave a heck of a lot of time for myself, but THAT is a sacrifice I am willing to make, leaving my kids for someone else to raise/care for all day wasn't. 


I do not love money but I love what it can buy
for me. I work 4 days a week now and was not bringing home what I wanted every 2 weeks, for some reason that is at least 1,000.00. I just decided to turn up the speed and put my mind to doing at least 3000 lines a day and figured by that should get what I want in the pay line. Worked well for me. I tell people if you want to talk with me call before I go to work, do not let outside influences bother me during my hours. Other than a bathroom break, glass of water, here for the straight 8.
I love Google and I love MTs
Okay, who in their right mind would not only discuss but have passionate opinions about hyphens and apostrophes? I love it!

Anyway, in googling grammar rules I found numerous references that two days' time would not but hyphenated but when used as a modifier like two-day history, it would be.

I remember telling an OB nurse friend of mine about fretting over 38 weeks pregnancy and whether the hyphen belonged in there and she just laughed and said she thinks she would get the point either way. Well harumph!
This is the whole idea
The corporations want it that way-- they don't give a rip about the "middle class". The CEOs just want to be able to buy a new yacht every year, new cars, have several homes all over the country and maybe the world, etc. It's all about GREED. That's why nobody will do anything about illegal immigration. They want to pay their workers as little as possible so it's all profit for them.
What is your idea of
"enough?"  How much do you think the job is worth?
An idea
for the businesses that you should contact are the ones where your friend has done business such as bank,church, her place of employment, and any place that her parents were involved in. When we had a fundraiser for someone that I worked with we contacted a local band and a bar with a dance floor to helped raise money for his injuries. They all volunteered their service free of charge. And many people showed up to help him out. Just a thought!
You have no idea.
Let's just keep it there.
Better idea
If you have an experienced MT doing the recruiting, he/she can tell just in a conversation whether the applicant does/does not know his/her business.  As you said, you're going to know within the first couple of days whether or not the applicant is going to pan out  If you're testing for an MT to do cardiac caths, start a conversation about cardiac caths.  All MTs I have ever known love to discuss their trade...if they know it.  These extensive tests put out by most companies these days are a horrific waste of time...they don't prove a thing!
Idea
Maybe it's like one website I went to, where it seemed the way to do it was to respond with an e-mail first (pasting a resume into your e-mail and saying what job you were interested in), and then they would respond and tell you what tests they wanted you to take?
I have no idea! -nm

Now there's an idea!
nm
Thank you for that idea. I can do that.
The obvious solution is always right in front of us, right? LOL
I have no idea what they are seeing that I am
Not at all.  Good for them if they are getting a better deal at Walmart.  Wasn't happening for me.
Have no idea what it could be, but if he has any (nm)
nm
I have them...have no idea why you don't
You might try emailing the moderator or administrator of this site.
one idea
If you are using actual WavPedal software, try this first.  Open WavPedal - settings - options - file associations - and make sure .dss is checked (or add file type .dss and check it).  Close.  Then, right click on your voice file and "open with" and choose WavPedal.  Should open.  Sounds like your default player for voice files is not WavPedal.  I think it will ask you (can't remember off hand) then just choose YES for WavPedal as default for all files with .dss association. 
I had no idea. THANK YOU SO MUCH.


I have no idea what you mean. nm

Here is an idea

Start out not charging anyone anything but time.  Everyone who joins contributes a skill to the organization such as marketing, PR, etc.  It costs nothing to do e-mail newsletters, just time and some people to write for it.  Online meetings on Yahoo or MSN groups would be nothing to do.


Also getting a website can be pretty cheap if a few members would be willing to design it.  Everyone has a friend of a friend who has this business or that.  A lot of times, especially in the case of smaller businesses, they are willing to trade small services for exposure and advertising.  You would be amazed.


I used to work in Marketing for nonprofits before deciding to stay home as an MT. I also still do consulting work.  I am all for a new organization and would love to participate in any way I could to back to representing what "they" were supposed to.


Send me an e-mail.  We'll chat. 


Huh? what does this mean? no idea.nm
.
Thanks for this idea....sm
is there a way to find out what companies hire SE?  That sounds good.  What company do you work for if you don't mind me asking.  You could e-mail me if you want.  Thanks!
You have no idea how much better that
makes me feel! Hopefully mine does the same. I've unplugged it and am leaving it alone for awhile. I found out to fix it the cost will be around $300. I sure hope it works.

I do not know how my supervisor puts up with me sometimes, but she has me set up to work another way until I get this fixed. Thank you all for the help!
any idea
anyone know why it takes so long to get a count on the ichart site?  Been happening all week - takes up to a full day and 1/2.
Thanks so much for that Idea! sm
You know I'm beating myself up trying hard to figure out how to do the hard hyphen and hard space so it expands that way and your idea of doing it first then highlighting and entering it is not something I would have ever thought of!!! This works great. Thank you so much for all your help.
I Like your idea

I like your idea.  


No idea.
I have a not great account that gets cherry picked into extreme lateness. I don't mind if you cherry pick to get a decent doctor or two after having a ton of crappy ones but to cherry pick out all the good stuff and put the rest of us behind with all the bad ones is just wrong.
