eww, why on earth would you want to date.

In Reply to: I'm bored and dateless on a Saturday night... - RadGuy
And chances are you will find the person boring, annoying or unappealing. I don't see why people date on those sites, its so set up. Its better to meet by chance, more natural and less pressure. I'm in my early 30s and I see my friends either divorced or miserable in their marriages, same with my family. It gets old real fast, why not have something to look forward to, and use this time to figure out who you are, your passions, and the right person will be drawn to you to complement you, rather than being forced together because you feel like you should be in a couple. At this point I have my own life and forcing a relationship into it would make me irritable and obligated...BUT if in the process of living my life I happen upon someone who fits in there without me knowing it...meaning I can stand him there...well that would be a big bonus. No need for it, or want..been there done that...i'm old enough to know I want it on certain terms. In the meantime, i'll just hug my dog and cat way too much.

What on earth does that mean??
But why on earth would QA want
an exclamation point in a letter or report? They just aren't used in medical reports or letters, and here the OP is saying they want one in every letter? Is this a foreign-owned company, maybe on the planet Pluto?
What on earth?
Why should she give it a rest?? If you see a post with Toth in the subject line, just don't read it. It's not like there's not room on the website for another post.
There are a thousand reasons why someone could have gotten sucked into a terrible situation. It doesn't mean they were obtuse or saw red flags & ignored them or behaved in some way irresponsibly, & it's rude to suggest otherwise.
I can't understand what you think you are going to get out of censuring and/or censoring her.
What on earth is the 100 number
an no one ever answers?
WHAT on earth are you talking about?
How did you get any of that from my post? Haven't you ever seen the jokes on TV about the hairy women from Russia or Germany? Or that French women don't shave their pits? Don't have TV or anything under that rock of yours? How does a jokingly exaggerated TV-induced generalization make me nonCaucasian? Or are you the racist here? You certainly were quick to blurt out muhbaby daddy there. WE were joking around. YOU need to take a nap.
HELLO, EARTH TO AAMT nm
anyone?
Why on earth do I need to "calm down"? sm
If you don't agree with my opinion, advice, or life experiences... that's OK. And I don't have to agree with yours. The OP is free to read all of the responses and take away from it whatever she can. She can take everyone's advice, or she can not take any of the advice... that's her choice. I was simply offering her advice based on what my experience have been. And let's be brutally honest here... she's going to continue to get beaten, and her children be beaten, regardless of whether she instigates it or not. Tigers don't change their stripes.
But since you want her to just leave the next time it happens, what do you advise her to do for food and shelter for her and her children? She needs to make a plan, and stick to it, with the least possible upheaval for her kids' sake. If she wants to plan for it, and then just leave the next time it happens, that may work too. I'm certainly not going to knock that advice. But, please, don't just shoot down other people's experiences and advice. If you have some real advice or a real plan to share with her, feel free. But don't just offer the pat answer of "you need to leave"... it's obvious she knows that.
How on earth do you KNOW FOR A FACT
Give me a break, are you that paranoid?
Where on Earth were you born?
I was born at Fort Leonardwood, Missouri - my papa was in the Army. How about you? 
what on earth does this post mean?
?
again - how on earth could you assume that I could not do your job with the same
education and training. Who is bashing?
What on earth is a flame war?
Are you referring to the flame next to posts on here? That just means they've been viewed a certain number of times.
14 Years here on Earth and in the USA
I write about a transcription process that you are not aware of and you assume I'm from Mars? What a leap. I'm curious as to how many years you've been in this field that you wouldn't know that this is the way it was done for many years. Believe it or not, there was even a time transcription was done on the typewriter - no headers, not even documents! Here. On Earth!
I don't feel the need to defend my credentials and citizenship on a message board, but I assure you, I had a successful career as an MT and MTSO since 1992 and my mom was in the field for a few years in the 80s. If you don't believe MT was routinely done that way (one doctor/one date/one document) you can ask some of the oldtimers on this board about it. I don't have time to go over the different stages of progression in MT.
Maybe I'm whining, but I came here for advice regarding this technological change (electronic medical record) that I'm having a hard time adjusting to. I'm feeling discouraged about re-entering this field because of this and the pay cut I've had to take. I'm asking for opinions - if others have had this problem, if they have gotten used to headers and can still get good production. Maybe I'll get used to it. Or maybe I'll find a job where they still do it the old-fashioned way - good luck with that....right? :)
What on Earth possessed you...
to initiate contact with these people? I read what others say on this board about companies, and if there are 2, 3, a half dozen complaints, I KNOW to steer clear of a company and tell others to, also. I trust the information I get here. There have been numerous complaints about this particular company on here! In fact, I have never, ever read any good feedback here on it, and just for that fact, and knowing from your first post that you know it, too....it makes me wonder what on Earth possessed you to begin this little experiment? There was nothing to gain from it whatsoever, you had no intentions of working for them, but now you have a psycho-stalker for your efforts. How did you think these people would be to deal with? One does not step in crap and not expect it to stink.
Why on earth would doctors
WANT to keep dictating in a lousy, ridiculous manner? Apparently many do, because they continue to do so when QA has to keep leaving blanks or asking for guidance.
I simply cannot understand this. I have one who will literally leave small phrases right out. What does he expect us to do with that?!!? 
How on earth do you make $10-$12
per hour getting paid 6 cpl part time?! What kind of account/s do you have and how many lph do you type?
Wish I could do the same!!
What on EARTH are you talking about??? sm
Please provide a reliable source for your Acusis 30% pay-cut info... or your *announcement* is similar to yelling FIRE! in a crowded building: If not exactly criminal, it's at the very least pot-stirring and mud-slinging and rabble-rousing.
What on earth is wrong with you people? sm
So this means that you don't give a rip who types YOUR and YOUR FAMILY'S medical reports or how badly it's done? That you just zip through the reports to get them done with and rack up those lines? Shame on you.
You know, all this bickering and fighting is because MT is paid "by the pound." Anytime people are paid strictly on production, this is the result. Not good for us, not good for patients.

"Peace on Earth" - Merry Christmas to

How could they NOT treat her? I mean, how on earth could the docs not 'touch her'?
Doesn't the physician on duty have an obligation to treat the patient? It'd be a greater lawsuit potential if they refused to treat her and she worsened or died. That doesn't make sense that they could chose not to treat her. It probably is stated as a complication but those can't really hold up in court. The possible complications list practically anything that could happen, including death, but that doesn't mean that if a person is injured or dies from surgery that the physician is absolved of any wrongdoing if they messed it up. I hope and pray she recovers fully.
Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth sm
And I learned the rules of grammar, we were taught that the period should always go OUTSIDE the quotation marks if the quotation marks surrounded only a few words and not the majority of the sentence.
I'm just saying.....
Up-date
Okay, I found a phone number on my statement for thier "Premier" card so I called that number. I asked where the rep was located and she tole me Buffulo, NY and her name was Vivian. I got the answer to my question and then told her I had initially called and got hold of a center in the Phillipines but I refused to talk to them. I asked how I could go about lodging a complaint about the company offshoring. She said she could forward the complaint for me but it probably wouldn't do any good. I told her it would do some good if more people did as I was doing and also lodged complaints about offshoring. I explained that in my profession offshoring a a huge problem and that it was only a matter of time before SHE lost her job to offshoring also. I told her to include in my complaint that her bosses worked for me and if I, and others like me, refused to use their services, her boss and the company's management would be looking for new jobs. Vivian told me they have call centers all over the world and I just lucked out using the :"Premier" phone number because I do not have a "Premier" card. She said in the future if I want to get a rep in the US, I will probably have to hang-up and call back, several times maybe, until I got hold of a US rep. (Yeah, right, I am calling the Premier number first thing). But, at least I know what it might take to get a US rep.
I realise even the offshore people are just looking to make a living but what about all the US citizens trying to make a living, only to see their jobs go offshore? And I agree that it is "managament" that is responsible for this, but until we stand up for ourselve, no one else will. Management works for us!! Just like the managment of the MTSOs and even the Nationals have no job without us. It it too easy to say, "Well, just this one time, I will use the foreign call center, One time won't make a difference." But it is that one time, added to your one time and added to her one time, added to my one time and on and on, that WILL make a difference. It is too easy to sit back and wait for someone else to solve the problem. That attitude will get us nowhere but out of work or working for slave wages.
Date? Isn't that where....sm
a guy asks a gal out, and they go to the movies, maybe dinner, or something fun? I haven't been on one of those in several months now.
As far as internet dating goes - have you tried it? I've met more decent guys through the internet over the past 5 years than I have at church, in the grocery store, through neighbors, etc. Of course you have to use common sense and if you smell a rat then run.... but often times you can figure out who the jerk or married person pretending to be single is through some chatting on-line before you even talk on the phone. Two guys I met on-line are still good friends and I hooked up 1 with a gal that I knew that they were much more compatible and they've been dating now for 5 months.
Just went on a date!
Anyone have any success with eharmony.com? It's not a good thing when you get to the stop light and bust up laughing over what you just went through!
well now you date yourself and ME..LOL..sm
Well, I'm old enough to be your oldest sibling or perhaps even your parent *L*
I VOTED FOR MONDALE AND FERRARO - it was my first election that I chose to vote in and I think it was 1972. (I didn't vote when I first turned 18). GIRL POWER!!!! YEAH!!
LOL, no, I think you need a date. LOL. nm

Never have understood this!
word for date
I use "da" and then change it in the Autocorrect every day. This works for when you're not using today's date.
Date? Isn't that where a guy takes you out
And expects to get sex afterward? If you don't cooperate, that's the last time you will ever see him. No thanks-- my furry critters are a lot more loving and faithful and are not the least bit selfish.
date rule
Thanks. My mind just blanked and I couldn't remember. It seems like it has changed so often over the years!
Date question
Hello everyone. I know this a dumb question, but I have searched and I cannot find this answer. Can you please tell me when a doctor gives a date in the body of a report do you automatically write the year as well. For instance.... He was last seen on January 19. Would you type the year too? I have always typed the year if I am 100% sure of the year the doctor is referring to. I believe I was told to add it for clarity, and I believe that is the way I was taught in school, but I cannot find it referenced, and I had someone ask me about it.
Not since today. (what's the date where you are?)
Time traveler, are we?
:oD
LOL! We sure date ourselves when we admit we know

What is the date of this article?
I looked all over this article and could not find a date of publication. Everything vaguely says "later this year.' Which year? The only thing I could find on the entire page was 04/08/02 under the author's byline, and at the very bottom of the page, a copyright of 1995-2002. When you click on the link to discuss the article in the forums, the new page never loads. If you look up all other articles by this author, they are all dated 2000-2002.
I think you are getting upset over nothing. Call Time Warner directly and ask them what their plans are.
All I can say is what is written on my up-to-date
social security forms and the fact I just talked with them in January. I certainly asked the question, again, if money withheld when I turn full retirement next year and again told no, full benefits then. Like I told Doxie, just call social security and check with them.
