HIPAA is like the banks - there is NO
I called a doctor's office and got medical information on my Ex husband - yes Ex husband. Hospitals and doctor's offices hire alot of incompetent people to handle confidential information and these people don't have clue. With this issue being so widespread - to you really think they care about MTs jobs and the information being shipped overseas? Try this - call a hospital and pretend to be Dr. X from X Medical Center in Santa Monica, California (or anywhere...just google and choose). You can get information easily. Did you ever see the shows where John/Jane Doe go into a hospital and work as a doctor and they never have been to medical school? Happens more than you know and it's horrifying!
I have to disagree with you. Banks will finance
trailers. I know, because I had a trailer several years ago and it was financed through a bank.
Those are great ideas, but I think the food banks
and churches are probably not going to want to be so eager to help since the OP owns 5 houses. Her best bet is going to be to be extremely frugal at low cost markets.
If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order

Switching banks - DD question (Happy B-day to poster below!!)
I have two bank accts. One is Wells Fargo where I have DD. The other is with Wash. Mutual which I just opened as I want to quit banking at Wells Fargo.
Has anyone switched banks and requested DD to be placed on another account? If so, is there a time lapse in between that is of any length? (i.e., will they mail the check to me in between stopping one DD acct and before setting up the other?).
Guess I should just call HR but I know they are busy as it is payday. Will wait until Monday. Thanks if you can be of help.
Been dealing with banks all morning and majorly stressed.
Have you ever had a credit card and all the phone numbers they give you do not allow you to talk to a live person, but get an automated system, that is not capable of doing what you need? Have you ever had a late charge because it took the bank 3 days to post an on-line payment? I'm going to have to write a letter I guess and when the next statement comes I'm paying it off and cancelling, though I'm not sure how I'll do that - have to write another letter.
Can you use a debit card on-line just like you can a credit card. I know most places only accept 3 major credit cards and didn't know if I entered a Visa debit # if that would be the same. I prefer Paypal cause I keep a little stash for on-line purchase, though most places don't take Paypal at least not yet. I just know I've got to get rid of the credit cards - much too stressful.
Outer Banks, NC...Don't waste time on VA Beach
I live in Virginia Beach and there's not much to do here and definitely wouldn't recommend taking a vacation here. Unless of course you like rubbing elbows with all the tourists crowded on the boardwalk. We love going down to the Outer Banks. It's much more laid back there and you can claim your own little stretch of beach cuz it's not so crowded. The locals are much nicer there and you can rent a beach house for pretty cheap if you look around.
Win The Prize - Translate this: "Asa facial radishes with banks"
The answer was:
"Esophageal varices with bands."
This doctor is going to drive me to drugs!
(above is how my head feels after typing report, urghhh)
Most banks have auto numbers to call to find out balance. SM
You could call bank tomorrow morning. Maybe put some charges on credit card, but anyway call them.
As stated, it is taken out immediately. When I purchase stuff and use it, but forget to put it in checkbook, recording will tell me as soon as I arrive home what was spent.
Which model
did you purchase? Did you get them at the Bose site? If so, they told me there is a 30-day time period in which you can return them if you are not satisfied. They are just too pricey if they don't get the job done!
Maybe it is just the particular model/brand
I have had I believe three Fantoms now (first one so heavy so bought second one years later, then ran over big screw and broke the bar on the bottom of the second one). I have the HEPA filters and have never had to do anything with them - not even change them as mine have a button that is suppose to pop up to tell you when it needs to be replaced. I have probably owned these over the past 10 years or more.
You are right, emptying the cannister can be a little messy - I do what you do and go outside, use a plastic grocery bag to empty it in (or better yet have husband do it) as I, too, have severe allergies.
If I had to choose though, I would still go bagless as I hated changing and buying the bags and once they got about half full you didn't get the suction like you do with an empty bag/cannister.
I am not familiar with the type you have where you have to clean the filter. Ugh.
I have an older model sm
Can't use it while I'm typing. If I crank the massage action up so that my back feels good, then there is too much vibration and I literally cannot focus on the monitor. I am not sure if the newer models are like this or not.
There's a quota of so many per each model for that

Well...get a late model
I would go to the different stores and website to find one that is new but last years model if you don't want Vista. They are starting to be preinstalled.
Personally, I love my Gateway and they have all american customer service and tech support. It is nice to call and talk to someone that can understand me the first time! They have been very prompt and understand that my system is important for work. I have only had one minor issue which was probably me and not the computer.
Actually, I don't know if your model of footpedal is going to work or not.

IBM model M-15 split ergonomic
I bought one of these keyboards from www.clickykeyboards.com
Fully adjustable for any typing angles like Goldtouch, but much better key feel.
Priceless keyboard that I hope to use for next 20 years.
I can't remember the exact model, but.....
We go the one that would go into a waterbed frame (as that is what we have), but it wil also go onto a regular frame. We also got a king size(it is great. We also chose the dual chamber model (I don't think it is any more expensive) so that I can set my number and my husband can set his. We have a friend who only got the single chamber and when his wife gets in or out of bed the number isn't the same any more. So I would highly recommend the dual chamber if you share a bed. As far as the exact model number I can't remember...but with it having to fit into the waterbed frame and wanting a King there was only 1 model number to choose from and I think it was the 5000. Good luck...you will absolutely love this bed!
A4tech anti-RSI model KB(s)-8
I've tried all the expensive ergonomic keyboards mentioned here in the past and never found one I liked. Back in the day, Keytronics made a great keyboard (some 15 or 20 years ago) but they aren't the same now. I've been using this A4tech anti-RSI KB(S)-8 for a couple of years and it is fantastic. I heard about it on another board and thought, how can it be that great when it's only $20? But it really is the best keyboard I've owned in 20 years. Plus you can program some of the keys to open programs or perform tasks, even keystrokes. The keyboard comes with a wrist rest, which is completely useless to me, but it comes off easily so that's not a problem.
Thanks. I was looking at the Infinity USB VE-INUSB model
Just trying to convince myself that was what I should get. It's nice to know I'm not the only one around on a Saturday night! Thanks again.
Go online and put in your make and model.....

I believe your foot pedal has to be a DVI model

Which model? Not all have lock keys. sm
I have a Logitech cordless that doesn't have lock keys. Did you try to Google your model to see if somebody else has had the same problem?
I was thinking along that line when there's no role model
Rich kids are raised by nannies, butlers, au pairs, tutors. Parents are hardly there to give them morals. They learn from the streets and the streets are pretty skanky these days.
You're welcome. You can find Model M's on eBay
I think I'd go with clickykeyboards.com for their trustworthiness and service and all. You can get some in the $35-40 range there. (Check to be sure if it has a ps/2 connector, unless you have an AT/5-pin inlet on your computer. You can buy an AT to ps/2 adaptor from them or at most office supply stores fairly easily, though.)
I think you'll be pleased. Much as I liked my NMB, I wouldn't ever buy even a vintage/used one of those since I just don't think that model and brand has much longevity, apparently.

Belkin Ergonomic, Model # F8E208
If you Google it, you will come up with tons of places to buy it from. I bought mine at Target for 30 bucks, well worth it and more.
does anyone know how to hook a Lanier model LX231(sm)
with the LX-231 adapter to the power supply and flat modem box? I'm confused as to where all the cords go. On the adapter there are three cords. One says station (that I assume goes to the actual transcription box with the key pad on it), another cord that goes to the power supply and another that says it goes to the telephone line. I'm not sure where all the cords go in relation to the modem. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? TIA
What model is the unit? I used one a long time ago..sm
However, the doctors called into it to dictate. There was a hard drive with it that was connected to phone line. I would log in on the machine and pick up the jobs to transcribe. Is it similar to that? Or is this something else? There is also a Philips call-in station that hooks to phone line, but that's only for the docs to call and dictate.
How are you using the Philips to get work from your friend, that's what I don't understand? Does the friend have the same system? Just trying to figure out the setup and how to be more helpful. I know I once tried to use the Philips call-in to re-record dictation from a microcassette and it wouldn't recognize it and just timed out. It would only accept an actual voice, and that was using landline phone, so I think they do have certain parameters set up. It might be that the Vonage isn't compatible. Maybe you could call a Philips tech support person and ask. There's a tech number in the manual and on their website.
what model/make battery backup do you use for computer? nm

Hmm. I thought Unicomp made keyboards similar to the IBM Model M
That was the old clackity clack buckling spring keyboard. You get a real IBM keyboard on ebay or clickykeyboards fairly cheap. The key markings are part of the key itself and never wear out. They are exceptionally NOISY though and you need a special USB converter to make it work with a USB connection. The Omni is a mechanical keyswitch which I think is even better than the buckling spring, just like the poster who posted about it. Those key markings never wear out either. Mechanical keyboards have a wonderful touch but they don't make very many any more. Too expensive to produce and instead we have the $10-20 dollar rubber dome "quiet" keyboards that feel like typing on a wet sponge. Some people though like that wet sponge feel but I think they are slower keyboards and harder to type on. Just a preference even though they are noiser. And for some it does not matter how spongy or squashy the keys are as long as the keyboard is quiet they are happy. Different strokes I guess.
Got floor model of chair that was perfect fit. Final mark down was $40. Went got home saw original
:P
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.
Federal holiday, banks and federal offices closed, but
schools and everything else open here.
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.
I think America....
is getting tired of the political correctness gone amok. While I'm all for separation of church and state, as the original forefathers intended it to be, which is that the government shall not establish a religion and then force the citizens to BE that religion (as it was with the Church of England), I don't think they intended for us to be afraid to say Merry Christmas. As much as some may not like it, this country is overwhelmingly Judeochristian, and most Christian. I'm sick and tired of all the time, money, and energy spent on making sure a school calls the Christmas Holiday "Winter Break."
DTS America
Has anyone worked for DTS America?
DTS AMERICA
Thanks for the info.
DTS America
Has anyone had experience working for DTS America? Are they okay? Any problems? Just wondering. Thank you for your kind information.
Anyone know how many MTs are in America?

DTS America? I know a DTS Inc. nm

America
This is America. Last I checked we speak English here unless you are gifted enough to speak more than 1 language or you are a native of another country that does not speak English. If I went to France I would not expect them to know English, I would learn their language, French. This is America. We speak English as far as I know. If you are born here chances are you will learn English as your language unless your parents are immigrants then you might learn English and some other language. What language do they use in the schools? ENGLISH!!! I am not learning another language here in my own country. If I want to learn another language I will go to another country. Don't get me wrong I would not mind knowing another language but I get fustrated when people come here and think we should learn their language when in fact they need to learn English.
DTS America
I am thinking of possible employment with this company. Has anyone ever worked for them or know anything about this company called DTS America from Tennessee?
DTS AMERICA
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WORKING FOR DTS, BRENTWOOD BRANCH?
DTS America
Anybody out there getting a hard time at the Brentwood Branch by a certain manager? I have gone to management, but nobody listens. Seems this company doesn't care how many experienced MTs they lose. They seem to think we are "disposable". Don't question a thing, your're job/life will only be made miserable. I am leaving as soon as I find another company to work for. Great accounts, lousy company, lousy management. No communication with employees whatsoever.
MedTrans of America
Does anyone presently, or in the past, work for MedTrans of America?
America's Got Talent
Anyone watch last night? Who won? We saw All That at Carolina Opry in Myrtle Beach and they were awesome!! Just watched video on internet and they were GREAT last night.
America's Talent
Thanks. I will have to watch tonight. Granny is a HOOT also!! For her age she is a spunky person with a great personality:)
Talk America
I live in North Carolina and cannot find Talk America in my area for $49.95. Someone else also told me about them. Where are you?
Professionalism in America...
What happened to professionalism in America? Have I been at home in my pajamas too long? Everywhere I go, every business, etc. I have come across people who are just so unprofessional looking. Dropping my child off at school the other day, a delivery man got out of his truck looking sloppily dressed. Uniform shirt was dirty, untucked with belly hanging out. This is not seen only in men in delivery positions or blue collar workers. It is seen everywhere. Offices have gone to casual wear. What happened to the crisp clean uniforms and nice dressed women in offices? When I worked outside the house, even when we did have a "casual day" it still was somewhat professional looking (no athletic shoes). Don't you think this contributes to laziness on the job? Wouldn't you rather be served by someone clean looking and bright than not? Do supervisers of these positions accept this look?
Only in North America

By the way...I worked a 12 hour shift today. I really don't need the correction on my spelling. I realize I hit the 'n' instead of the 'm'. I'm done now...this is dumb.
The one, the only, the woman who has done SO MUCH FOR AMERICA!!!!!
HILL-OH-REE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
NO ONE IN AMERICA SHOULD BE PAID BELOW
You should all be ashamed of yourselves. No job is worth this wage.
When I was a new grad in 2005 I was offered 7 cents per line for every single company I was offered a position with and that was a good bit of companies, btw. That was employee status and that was IC position too. Even now with 1-2 years experience I get offers of 8.5-9 cents a line.
Now MTSOs are profiting off of slave labor. How can you sleep at night knowing that you are paying your MTs HALF of what they should be making? I cannot wait til their doctors make it impossible for them to profit too. Happy day.
All I can say is everyone has to start somewhere and just becuase you are a new grad from college doesnt mean you are paid half of what you should be paid.
PATHETIC.
I get making an MT prove themselves for a few weeks at a lower rate (until off of QA) and then up it to 6-7 cents. If they aren't worth it.. DROP THEM.
My MTSO was so honest and fair. She would NEVER EVER think of paying that crap. We need more people like her. Out for her employees and not herself.
You know, maybe it's just my PMS speaking today, but I plan on getting my own accounts and I will NEVER EVER treat my employees like crap and pay them like that.
For 2 weeks of full time work (which for us MTs just starting out is OVER 40 hours) you pay them (based on 12,000 lines a payperiod) 360 (.03) without taxes taken out?? When they should be making $720 (.06) on the low end of the totem pole?
Wow. You guys are makin out!!
