Florida here, No state tax but...sm
I have had to pay occupational license tax for my township and also the city yearly the past 3 years.........but the IRS never penalizes me for paying my taxes yearly for the private side.....I also work for a nat'l and they do take out taxes.
Does anyone about durable power of attorney in the State of Florida?
I have my elderly mother in the hospital now and the question has come up about being a legal medical power of attorney. Do I need to go to an attorney for this or is there a place where I can download a free form and then have it signed by her and notarized. When my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, we basically had a family conference with the physicians involved and social services and the decision was made conjointly for hospice and comfort measures only. He had not left any advanced directives, living will, or medical power of attorney, so I wonder about all of this. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I'm sure your state has some kind of plan for people sm
who owe, probably at a high interest rate, though. Suggest checking there first.
but yet you would state someone's else name so freely when tons of other people read this...
that is my point...i am not trying to be mean or spiteful...i was not the original poster that is why my name is not on here...
looking for people that used to work for small MTSO in Suffield, OH a few years back.

Bad things? what bad things? people's being petty and small?

small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.
Thanks a million!
I appreciate your sticking up for us newbies!!!
I hope everyone knows how special you are!!!
Thanks a million!
 Thank you so much for the freedom allowed here on this site. In our appreciation for this freedom, we need to respect the rules so we will continue to be allowed the freedom to use this site!
Wishing everyone a good week ahead!
that's the million $ question! sm
I know how you feel, girlfriend! I'm barely hanging on, having to sit and work everyday! Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated on how to get over this "hump"! 
God I would not in a million years...
work for that person. How ridiculous.But I wonder where she works? Have my suspicions....
If you don't like Red Bull, there are a million others to try.

No, a million times no.
They have certainly not done thier best as advocates for MTs. They've done thier best to do whatever it takes to make them more money, not us - especially the part about the visible characters only - that one really got me riled! I have since dropped my membership with the AAMT or whatever they call themselves now, and let my acredidation lapse - it never helped me get a job anyway. Actually, I was turned down for several because with the CMT after my name, I was "overqualified." There are so many things they could have done as an advocate organization for MTs, first and foremost making sure that transcription of American records stayed in America. Then they could have worked with the MTSOs to advocate for fairer pay for MTs, keeping up with inflation, etc so that MTs could actually make a living doing what we do. I think that anyone in the AAMT/AHDI is so far removed from the career of an MT that they really have no idea what it's about anymore - kind of like the government, but that's for a different board =)
I know you'll justify this with a million
lines of -- that's not what I meant - I meant this or that or this or that. Believe me, as a kid whose mother had that YAHOO SHE'S BACK IN SCHOOL attitude, it HURTS. Your kids sense it, and its damaging to them. Try to hide your joy that they're out of your hair - for their sake.  Not trying to bash, just trying to show their side. The bus stop used to be in front of my house for years, and first days of school, always 10 or 12 parents standing with their kids. There were always 1 or 2 mothers who would cheer just as you, as the bus pulled away, and their kids were always looking back out the window at their mothers cheering. Always made the rest of us cringe for those poor kids...
for that much - I would keep working. Now if I hit the PowerBall at 100 million - sm
I'd quit working and open up an orphanage or home for the homeless and down children in this country. Ideally, it would be a horse ranch - farm type.
I would love to help all of the poor and starving children in this country, even helpless moms too! That is my dream.
I do have 2 children of my own and very fortunate to have a great MT job with a good hard-working husband.
That is a million dollar question
I think they are just being pains. There are some people they bend over backwards for, some they don't work with at all and unfortunately I am at the lower end of the stick, it seems. I had a coworker quit and went to work for an on-line service because they would not let her have Sundays off so she could go to church with her family even though they had adequate coverage on Sunday and by Thursday we were always out of work.
Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.) Then you really avoid the tax situation.
HAHAHA ... Now there's your million-dollar idea!

Million Dollar Movie? Was on every night...sm
on TV and you could watch the same movie for a week? I remember a lot of James Cagney movies shown on that Million Dollar Movie - *lol*
This question has been asked 1 million times.
First, start by looking through the posts on this board. You should be able to find plenty of information through those postings.
Agree 1 million percent about the elderly
HMOs is what I assume you mean as managed care??? I don't like them at all but am stuck with one through the city insurance when I was hurt on the police dept. However, I have been extremely fortunate in Virginia Beach area to have some of the best doctors and the payment is low. I have been through the ringer and back int the whew 14 yrs now since my accident. But I have never been denied a test or a treatment. I did have my beloved neurosurgeon leave because of HMO regulations. But he came back to the area once they met his demands. He is a patient first doctor hands down all of mine are. Where are you from. I here all this garbage about terrible health care etc. etc. I honest to God have had zero problems with mine. I could pay extra and get the pick your own doctor insurance for about dbl what I pay for an HMO but all my doctors are on the list and I am happy. My dad is on Medicare at 80 and has had no problems with any care. Nor did my mom before she passed away. Which was her fault she wouldn't go to the doctor and had breast CA but that's a whole other topic. When she finally did go to the doc and it had spread to her bones, she got great care and at a minimal cost. Several operations, tests, chemo, radiation the works...I don't understand. They took Medicare or Medicaid whichever one you get when you are of age and got the AARP supplement and did fine with it...
Duh - 4 o'clock slump - How do you write 6 million 10 thousand nm

You have a sound resume - you are worth a million to the right employer
MQ is just going cheap to prepare to pay out major money in lawsuits. Don't let this be a reflection on how you see yourself.
MQ always was considered the Wal-Mart of transcription companies.
Or in the case of our government, a million wrongs don't make it right, but ...
doesn't stop Uncle Sam from wronging us on a daily basis. Look, the bottom line is I will do what I have to do to feed, clothe, and house my kids. I don't feel guilty about finding shortcuts around the enormous mountains the government puts in my way nor should Doxie. She's trying to take care of her grandkids so her kids can go to the middle east and serve their country and us all. A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do.
You can call me a thief. My conscience is clear. My kids are healthy, well-fed, and have a home. I give to charity, tithe to my church, and volunteer at the food pantry in my town. I give back when I can -- not to the government, but to my community!
I am not the only person in American who stives to pay as little taxes to the government as I can. The government cheats us all. Do two wrongs make a right? I'm not trying to make a right, I'm just trying to survive.
Sure, eScription clients are saving a million dollars by
A good neighbor is worth a million bucks, they say this for a reason
I purchased a house at a remarkably reduced price because of a neighbor who was a lunatic. First thing I will do the next time I buy is try to get familiar with the neighbors bordering my home. Thank GOD, he moved but for several years, I had to get a restraining order and even with that, he used foul language, sometimes directed at me, tapped into my utilities, had loud fights with four letter words. I could even hear them in the bedroom going at it (yes, i know)... What I say is don't make her angry or she could make your life REALLY miserable. There will be times when you will not be home...people like her resort to all sorts of behavior, I have a feeling.
I finally just saw Million Dollar Baby! Clint rocked!! nm

E-mail says I have been left 1/4 million bucks by distant relative. Do you think this is a scam?
I could really use the money.
The Red Cross just HANDED OUT $5 million worth of debit cards in Texas.
FEMA decided to mail them in 14 days if the people knew where they were going to be...couldn't possibly get them out faster...too much work...etc.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.
Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect. I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it.
Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it. If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
Contact your local BBB in your state and in their state if different from yours.

Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
Florida
Tampa General Hospital took somewhere around 60 patients this weekend, Pasco county has opened homes and a woman who runs a homeless shelter in Spring Hill has made 2 trips to NO to bring back people, all of whom have eventually been placed in homes. Not to change the subject but I have seen a lot of complaints on the board in the past about Wal Mart - I just read in the paper some of the things they have done for the victims - a 20 million dollar cash donation, they had 45 truckloads of food ready to disperse before Katrina even hit landfall, plus numerous other things, sending 150 internet ready computers to the shelters for the evacuees to find their lost ones.
MDI in Florida
Just changing back to radiology from oncology and I am looking into companies. MDI Florida is hiring radiology transcriptionists. Any information would be helpful. I know they have a web site but I would like to hear from the people. Do they have good benefits? How about scheduling and accounts? Do they pay or help out with the long distance phone calls? Good management?
MQ in Florida
Does anyone know what Medquist offices are still operational in Florida?
Florida
I'm not sure about most nationals but I can speak from experience about my company that I work for, I moved to Florida and my pay did not increase. One good thing about Florida is that you do not have to pay state tax, so you get that extra amount on your check every month. Housing (especially buying) has skyrocketed in Florida in the last year or so. As for the schools, I can only speak for the district I was in but I think you can go to fldoe.org and look for information on that. Sorry I couldnt help with any more. Good luck!

Guess the wildfires and possible evacuations are good practice for the upcoming hurricane season!
Why not Florida?
This was a fantasy. I personally don't have anything against Florida, but I seem to recall reading a help wanted ad for a company located in Florida which indicated that it would only hire MTs that lived in certain states, for whatever reason, good or bad. For the other three states that I mentioned, I included those because of bad experiences with companies in those states.

Some people just CHOOSE to live in DE NILE (DENIAL) and we all see you are ONE OF THOSE.
Some of us CHOOSE to go through life as a REALISTS!
 
Things are different from state to state, but I think
you probably could, if you are actually "laid off." You would have to get a letter from your surgeon regarding your temporary disability status and take to the unemployment office and to Medicaid....but you know how Medicaid works, 1.5 pennies over the income limit, you don't get it. But, as I stated, laws differ from state to state, so you would have to inquire or go on their websites and see what they will approve and what they will not.
If not in your state, try filing in THEIR state. Then they

Bonuses at MDI Florida?
I have read that MDI Florida gives bonuses for employees that go the extra mile. I have been there over two years and work hard but have not seen a bonus yet. Do they given them out often or at all? They forgot us for transcription week and do not so anything for birthdays so it would be nice to get something out of it all.
