free money
Ok everyone, does anyone remember a couple years back when Bush or whoever did this: sent out checks to taxpaying families for like $400 or so. Well has anyone heard anything about this happening again? I heard something about it on the radio but I caught the end of it. My mother said yes she had heard it. She said she heard it was for taxpayers. Which means pretty much everyone. She said it was about $800 this time for a single and more for a family. Sounds too good to be true. But I remember them doing this before. Anybody know any details on this?
Save your money, this is free ...

I love those long reports. I think of them as free money.
It's just straight transcribing with no stopping to verify patient or physician information to start a new note. I'll trade you for 1 minute long dictations by a little Russian guy?
I do understand the frustration at the duplication of information. Then again, the copy/paste feature works great at giving more lines for free with no typing. LOL I always thought that if I could find a way to simplify the medical record while still utilizing MTs, I'd be rich.
Silver Lining: I ran out of money and I'm smoke free
six days with no smokes...also, lost about ten pounds on an involuntary diet. It's amazing what you can cut out when you're broke...
I understand... But I will not lose money by doing free work because she chooses to bill (sm)
will a method that requires me to give away free work. I will politely explain my position when we have our meeting. If push comes to shove, I will tell her that I will switch to her method of line counting, but I will need 9 cpl rather than 8 cpl. If she won't do it, I will give my notice.
Thanks for the input! I appreciate your time!
Not to mention you're letting the govt use your money INTEREST FREE
Ack!
Now that said, I usually have them withhold a little too much simply because we can't take a payment hit.
There's no such thing as a free ride.
The only person making money off that guy's book is him. You can't make big bucks doing next to nothing. Anyone who tells you that you can is scamming you. Never pay for any job, kit, startup, information or anything.
I've done secret shopping. It's a pain in the backside and works out to $10 per hour or less. I've sold on ebay but couldn't find wholesalers willing to give a decent rate to a small potatoes client. I've looked into those real estate investor/house flipper programs, but that only works if you've got capital to lay down, a decent credit score and a good housing market. I've purchased every secret book and plan that's out there, but they're all lame. No useful information whatsoever.
The only way to make decent money is through education and hard work.

I agree, and I do the very same thing with my money. NM

No such thing as "good" money sm
There is money for some - is there any such thing as "bad" money? I was told by a health information "director" with high-level degrees who outsourced 12 million lines per se that we are a "dying breed - dinosaurs" who are going to be obsolete. I wanted to bite her head off. But truthfully, that's how some think of us. So if you are making "good" money, then thank your lucky stars because it may not last. Then you will have to join the ranks of those who are struggling. My past experience is that those who make "good money" don't brag about it. I'm not flaming you, I'm just asking you to have a heart and realize that you have to walk in others' shoes. Sometimes they pinch and some day you may have to wear them. So please calm down and let others speak from their hearts, not their pocketbooks. I used to do a platform in MT on career day at a local college but stopped two years ago because I told the director that I in all honesty could not encourage people to spend two years tuition on a career that may be outsourced and/or obsolete. I really meant that. Nuff said!
I think it's strictly a money thing. An
experienced QA makes more than promoting an MT and offering her peanuts. Some companies would rather save a buck than make quality a priority. Perhaps it's better to stay away from those companies anyway.
See post above about a money thing.
That's all that it is. Promoting someone inexperienced to QA for less money. I miss the days when quality mattered rather than this greedy corporate mentality that seems to rule now.
Sickest thing, I made more money my first year as MT as I do now, for working
zz
I thought the same thing. Justify the EXTRA MONEY they're keeping
You know full well if the foreign MT was the same price they'd quit looking there too. It's all about the money. Who's he fooling?
The same exact thing happened to me and the seller refunded my money. He had done a horrible job
If you put it in a poster frame it may help. It was for my daughter and she wasn't overly picky at the age of 10 and it was Hilary Duff I believe.
Money, money, money, mmonnneyyy. Singing the Apprentice song.

Abacus is not free. It is $20 but worth it. You can download a trial version free which does not h
I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.
Free? As in, free trial? Otherwise, I don't think you'll find a spellcheck software that's

Check out the free demo of MTStars FlashType. It's free for 7 days.
Then, if you like it, you can purchase it for $59.95. See link below.
Make money? I'm not making any money because of my decision. You read my reasoning
You can agree with me or not, but don't make false assumptions please.
You're working to make money, not to spend money.
These people should be ashamed of themselves taking advantage of people this way!
I also blew some money signing up with Quixtar... The only way to make any money is to bug everyone
you know into signing up. I felt like a snake oil huckster. I hated it. I was flushing money down the toilet from the moment I handed over my money.
RUN, do not walk away! I do an entirely different side business now that I really love (in addition to my MTing, which I also love!) Find something you're good at and that you truly love doing. Then make a business out of it. That's the best way to have a side business. Selling discount toilet paper through Amway/Quixtar? Not so much.
The CMT exam is overrated. Don't waste your time & money. Use that money on
paid anymore just because you have it. There are a few CMT cheerleaders that post to people like you but they are pretty well sucked up into that association.
yes it is free....mine was free....why the exclamation?

Yeah, money, that's it. I paid $20.00 for my dog. Money is NOT THE ISSUE
walk him daily, play ball daily, he sleeps in my office daily while I work. Yeah, I got a lot of money, NOT HARDLY. And, my dog is HORRIBLY HORRIBLY ABUSED because he wears a collar around his neck. It's people like you that make me sick. I am done defending my use of the shock collar. I am going to continue with it and my dog will continue to be pampered , educated, fed, kept warm, and love me for everything that I do for him even when I remind him that his barking needs to stop. So, with that said, I will not respond to any more of your CRAP in reference to the shock collar.
Money is money and most people will do whatever it takes when in need. sm
if you do bring it to the attn of the office manager, why not offer her a raise to compensate. it is obvious she just needs or wants more money than your office is paying her. I agree, it is a free country and although it seems odd, unless you had it outlined in contract, she can work for whomever or whereever she pleases on the side. at least she is typing and not at a strip joint, lol. I see no conflict of interest, she has experience obviously in whichever field you are in and what is wrong with doing extra in that field. i agree with MYOB "nicely" and concentrate on your reports than looking at older reports and seeing who they are typed by.
There are free ones out there. I have been using a free one for 5 years. sm
Just have to research FTP server software.
free? We are not *free* - what planet R U on?
Free? Liberal? You know nothing about me......I'm a 4th generation American so don't get up in my face......
We have a bad bad reputation today....and we do NOT HAVE 60 ALLIES/COUNTRIES BACKING US UP IN IRAQ....you better open up your eyes to the REAL stats. Perhaps in 2003 we had 60 allies/countries backing us up....NAME 60 today. I can name maybe 10 countries.......
You are terribly off-base.........even the soldiers have spoken up stating *unfortunately, this has become OUR vietnam* -
here's where you might think of beginning...iraqi veterans against the war......not a liberal website by any stretch of the imagination..

Ebonics: Not a black thing or white thing. (sm)
I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here. Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics! ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.
A quote from one of the sites I found:
"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

No need to wonder..It always means less money for the MT and more money for MQ.

AVG free
I used McAfee, Norton, Panda, etc, all types of viruses and worms slipped through and caused my computer to crash. I now use AVG free edition, free upgrade every day and free check every day of my computer, that I set at at 4:00 a.m. If in doubt try www.worldstart.com, lots of computer geeks there and they will answer your questions about computers, etc on their message board. They have helped me a few times with reliable, good information about many different problems on my computer. Good luck.

Nothing is free!!
My family is in the restaurant business and I can cook like a maniac .. so screw the free meal stuff!! I am over 50 .. look great for my age .. make very good money .. have no bills .. and though my daughter lives here she is 32 and wishes I would meet someone and cut her a break!! I was a nurse in another life. Do I want to take care of someone whose body is in worse shape than mine .. no; do I want to cook for someone who makes a mess I have to clean just because the moron breathes .. no; do I want to hear the constant whining, burping, farting, dribbling, and all that other geezer stuff .. a thousand times no!! So, I find a guy who is 10 years younger than me and he is crazy about me and likes my old body, and we get along great .. but I have issues with the 10 years and I feel I am more than a wild piece of keister and nothing is free .. and that is on a good day!! LOL! Oh, yes, and he is cute as a button too .. I must be over the edge. Maybe not 
Can anyone tell me what the name of the free SM
wav player is? I think it is E something or the other.
Thanks for your help.
Chickadee
Please tell me the name of a FREE
Thanks!
This one is not free. If someone KNOWS of one
Thanks.
I don't think there is another free one
There are different footpedals available though, and not all are interchangeable between transcription modules. I have two pedals, one that I ordered to use with Express Scribe that connects via serial port, and then I got a new computer that did not have the serial port and I also began using the Olympus module, and so I ordered the Olympus pedal, which has two connector ends that you can switch so that you can connect via either serial port or USB.
I am not sure why the pedals are not interchangeable (some of them can be used with more than one module, but I just do not know how to tell the difference other than ordering the pedal based on recommendations from the software manuf. of the transcription module).
I also have had a problem with the Olympus pedal that started after I began loading .wav files into it. It is made to be used with .dss files, but plays .wav and other file types as well, but when I have been away from the computer for a while or when I have closed the programs and reopen them, I often times will have to reach behind my tower and unplug the pedal and then plug it back in. I am not sure what has caused the problem though because for the first couple of months using the Olympus I never had to do that.
AVG is free

...or you can do it for free (sm)
by eating less and exercising more. I'm not being a smarty, but this method had me from 235.5 pounds to the 119 pounds I am now, so I'm just speaking from experience. I even kept it off through a pregnancy because I learned how to eat regular food in an intelligent way.
These weight loss plans do NOT offer the secret code. It's within the person who wants to lose weight!
I'm getting it for free
We bought a couple of new HP computers this fall and we get a a copy for free, which we should get within a couple of weeks. We will probably install in on a spare computer to see what it is like before putting it on our new ones. Hopefully the software that we use for work will be compatible with it!
Do you want to pay for it or want for free?

No fee; it is free
There is no fee; you must have clicked the wrong button. I'm sending the signatures myself (out of my pocket) to DC. Try again; no fee to sign it. It is free. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/medrecords/
I use AVG Free.
I bought a refurbished hard drive and loaded microsoft office 2003. So many companies are not allowing Vista or 2007, so I felt this was the way to go. I have had good luck so far and a great running system.
I use AVG Free also. I also have several other
programs for adware, malware, and spyware. I usually search Kim Komando's site for things like that. I find that she is pretty much on the mark with her choices, recommendations, etc. When I hear that I "need" to install something, I figure if I don't know what it will do or not do, then I just leave it alone. A good running computer is a happy computer. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Not OP but I have done this for free too
I go in through the IRS's website and select Free E-File and go from there. You can choose from several different software programs. I have used H&R Block for the past 3 years this way and have never paid a dime.
AVG Free
This is an anti-virus program that has been recommended by all my "tech gurus" including Hiwired.com -- its free and comes HIGHLY recommended.
Hey a free one!
I'll check that out too. Thanks!
free
I think it expires in 60 or 90 days. Then you have to pay
