depends how fast the MT is......No one would want to pay me by the hour because I'm fast.

Does anyone eat out a lot. I don't like to cook but am bored with the same old fast food.
Got any places not too expensive where I can get food to go. To go is the key. Bored with McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, delivery pizza. (Boston Market?)
Thanks.
Outsourcing Fast Food - It's True!!!
"McDonald's may outsource drive-thru orders - Fast-food chain looking into remote call centers to improve service"
That is the title of the MSNBC story. Here is a link so you can check it out yourself.

Very sad state of affairs - but true!!!!
The only "easy in" jobs are in fast food.
If you want a job in MT, you're going to have to work at it. That means doing what it takes to get an education that will enable you to get a worthwhile job, then going out and getting it.
Anywhere I see an error it bugs me. I've seen the fast food
signs, grocery store signs frequently with spelling errors. I have even called a fast food store and told them about an error. It also bugs me when I watch the news and they'll put the name of a person or a place as a caption and they obviously spell it wrong. Not only am I an MT, but I homeschool my children, so I think spelling errors bug me more. Before I took my DS out of school the kids were having a contest about guessing the weight of a pumpkin and they made posters and spelled it "pumkin." I brought it to the attention of the principal as I noticed it on the day I was pulling my son out of school and she took down all the posters. I don't proof posts here and I'm sure I make spelling errors or use the wrong "they're/their/there", but I really try to be conscious of my spelling.
I worked fast food in high school,
mostly the drive-thru, and one morning when my alarm went off I sat up in bed and sat in bed and said "May I help you?"
I start an hour or 2 early and then take an hour or 2 for dinner -nm

65 to 75 an hour comes to $15 an hour if u are fast
nm
by hour definitely $15-- I am not super fast so this would benefit
x
but VR usually pays by the hour. A fast MT will make less $

No. I work four 10-hour days. I'm really fast, really
occasions, about every other month, I might do 8-10 hours overtime.
a place to start

Then, look at your state jobs (I know, in California, there are lots of listings for MTs working for the prison system. Which criminals do you prefer, the ones we're working for now; well, yeah, inside or outside!  ), or go through your employment development department (where there are links to government jobs and state jobs). 
That's a great place to start...
The majority of Escription accounts I have been offered started are anywhere from 2.5 cpl (insulting) to a max of 4 cpl. So I'd say take it..
Here's a place to start--with student docs (sm)

Nope, got the fast connection, and mine is weird right from the start. Guess DQS's tech support w

START paying property taxes?!?!? Honey I HAVE BEEN all since I got this place!!!
"If you want to be treated like everyone else, then pay taxes like everyone else"
Well thanks for ASSUMING that you knew that I didn't pay taxes. Every single person in this place that I live (300+) pay taxes. We don't own land so we don't pay taxes on that. We pay it on the home. Then our rent payments for our itty bitty pieces of land helps pay the propery taxes for the site.
In Michigan they don't? Seems hard to believe they would do that. If they don't pay it on the home then I would think they would paying it on the land or if they are in a park I would think that the park OWNER would pay the property takes for the large site.
I guess she would have to start at the data entry site since this place is about MT.

Even to start with, $14.00 an hour is lousy pay for ANY MT work...NM
?
At Wal-Mart here, they start at 6.00 dollars an hour.

To start expect to make about $6 an hour - sm
If you are good, meaning not having to look up a billion things and a quick and accurate typist then you can make more, $16+ depending on the type of work you do. I am not a fast typist, though I do not have to look up much (except for address which slows me WAAAAAAY down), and I currently make about $12 an hour with 4 years experience. So this is no huge money maker. As you are only looking to supplement, you could probably expect to make an extra $30 a week to start, presuming you can find someone to take you on for so litte work. In time you may get that up to $60 a week, but still it is not a fortune.
for the Lafayette area, you should be able to start around $12-13/hour depending
on the amount of expeience you have. But generally, Lafayette starts around $13/hour. Again, not a bad rate of pay to start for that area!!!
Prob is then you may get all fast fast fast talkers...not a fair way nm

Food stamps, WIC, food banks, churches, family...
There are many answers to that problem.
No one has the right to steal and writing a dishonorable check is stealing. It is called "theft of property".
My tax dollars support government programs to prevent people from going hungry and to provide for women, infants, and children. I make donations to food banks and churches, etc., for those who just need help as well.
Food for the staff and doctors, if you can afford it. Food is always a big hit in a doctor's off
One of the biggest perks I can remember when I worked in a doctor's office was when the drug reps or orthopedic equipment reps would cater lunch for the whole office just so they could meet with the docs. The whole office would get so jazzed at the idea of free lunch.
If you can't afford to cater lunch, then I would do something like a muffin basket and bagels always go over well. But food is your best bet.
Really???? I miss 'burgh food. Philly food is okay, but it

The food is resturant quality food and very good

how fast you can type, has little to do with how fast you can transcribe
Let's face it, we can only type as fast as the doctors dictate... worse, we can only type as fast as we can *understand* the doctors. Given someone who slurs or has a heavy accent, someone who clears his throat constantly or shuffles through the paper, given an unfamiliar account or work type, or an area we don't have much experience in and have to look up words, etc., any and all of these things combine to make typing speed not really relative at all. I personally type 110, but not when I'm transcribing. I tell most folks who ask, if you type 65-75 wpm, you're solidly in the ballpark for doing medical transcription.
It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
Depends on the pay and account. My lowest average is $15.52 an hour (roughly 182.6 lines an hour) w
;'
1850 lines per 8 hour shift. 15.00 hour - no real requirement
x
if it is feasable, split that 6-hour shift into two 3-hour shifts. sm
i work a split shift and find that i am much better able to stay focused and get more work done that way. also, being 3 months pregnant you have gone through the very tiring time of pregnancy and you should start seeing an energy perk before long.
At 200 lines a day for 6 cents, you are making $1.20 a day or 0.15 hour for an 8 hour day!!!--cm
Did you mean 2,000? Even then you would only be making $1.50 if you work 8 hours a day.
$32/hour? You said $36/hour on an earlier post. Either way would be great. n/m
xx
10 reports/hour or 25 markers/hour
NM
Well then, don't start at the beginning, start in

I appreciate your responses. I had an option of line vs hour ($14/hour) but if line pays more...nm

Dog food
Try switching to a better dog food, such as Nutro. Also at her age she deserves all the best in life and I would even consider giving her a meal once a day of chicken and rice or beef and rice, very inexpensive also. The table scrap thing, although stated by the vets all these years, is a bunch of bunk in my opinion. Dogs like a varied diet just as humans. Just so long as it is whole natural foods, not processed. You would love you to death to give her this small pleasure at her age. Good luck.
I think it has less to do with food....
and more to do with activity. I'm 45 and remember eating Ring Dings and chips and all kinds of junk food back when I was a kid. Granted we hardly ever had fast food, but moms back then didn't exactly cook according to Weight Watchers.. We had spaghetti, meatloaf, fried chicken, all that good stuff. However, what did we do in our spare time back then? WE PLAYED OUSIDE! We didn't have organized activities or play dates, we just went outside and played, all day long if we could. I remember being dragged in at dusk because I didn't want to stop playing, riding bikes, skating, etc. What are kids doing today? Sitting on their rears watching movies and playing X-Box. Maybe that has more to do with childhood obesity than diet. Food for thought anyhow.
food?
AMEN to the mexican food and margarita!

Baked beans - 1/2 cup is considered a serving and for the hash browns, 4 ounces would be considered a serving. You can add or substract from this to make it come out. Better to have a little bit left over than not enough at all. Good luck

food
I totally agree. Also, I just got an awesome recipe that is a dip for fruit. I would get a fruit tray and make this dip. I took it over for a July 4th cookout and it was a hit. It's best with strawberries. Anyway, the dip is one 8oz package of cream cheese, one 7oz jar of marshmallow cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. You can even add food color to it if you want to.

I have some doctor friends/clients and once in a while I book a traveling coffee place for them. Then they can get coffee, hot chocolate and muffins or something that they can pick out.
More food
I think it's a lot like illegal immigrants taking away our work, but this way they didn't have the moving expense of immigrating!
But with dropping food - SM
You run into more logistic problems. First of all - it's got to be dropped in a place where people can get to it, it's gotta float, and it must be waterproof.
Unfortunately, too, you run into the problem of distribution, with the people reaching the bundle first possibly hoarding supplies for themselves rather than sharing them out.
IMO, there's a certain amount of Monday-morning quarterbacking going on, but NO ONE wants this situation prolonged. They're working like heck out there.
Thank you! This is weird about the food. sm
My son has chronic eczema. He had so many food allergies when he was small. We were told he would "grow out of them" and, for the most part, he did. His major allergy was, and probably still is CORN.
Now everything you buy has corn syrup or cornstartch or corn something in it. Even the dyes in Kool Aid have a scientific number, which is actually a corn biproduct of some sort.
As you can see, I have done my homework about corn. My first time shopping for him "corn free" a decade ago took me almost 3 hours.
Unfortunately, cold weather aggravates his eczema and we live in the Northeast. He has been to the best dermatologist in the state and has 4 meds that keep it under control. However, he's 15 and he goes and eats pizza with his friends (no pizza sauce ever made without corn syrup - you have to make your own out of tomatoes). McDonalds, etc, everything is loaded with it. I only found 1 local breadmaker that actually has white bread without corn syrup in it.
MT:Working for Food
Next thing you know we will be working for Food.
Just tell yourself all of that is just food in a different form. lol sm
Seriously, though, just put in your contract you don't do toilets, the same as some don't do windows. I bet there are people who would rather get other things done, and would be willing to do that themselves, especially if the price was just a tad bit lower.
