Raleigh. I don't mind the drizzle or even the sleet we got today.
We need a lot more rain, and I prefer to get the non-hurricane-related type, LOL.
I want snow, if only for a day, we never get any!

Snow
I live in Massachusetts and we have just about 12 inches of snow on the ground right now. Yay....
snow
Ohhh...I miss MA and NH so much! Moved back home to OK in 2001. Just had a good ice storm the last 3 days with snow forecast for the weekend..a whopping 2-5 inches (whah...paralyzed everybody!) Sure did love the sledding up there!! Loved it ALL and sure miss it!!
Snow
It's beautiful here in Massachusetts right now, but preety cold. The kids are hoping for a snow day tomorrow! Me too!
Snow
We got almost a foot in Western Massachusetts and a Noreaster is on its way! Very pretty for sure. My children were hoping for a snow day today, no such luck. Maybe Monday!
no snow :)
I used to live up north and I am quite happy without ever having snow again. I love the snow we had last year 1 day which was just a tracing and by 10:00 it was summer again :) I heard we may get a little dusting this week.
Texas
I think she is thinking of the one in Austin, I believe. Don't remember when it was, but I do remember someone shooting at the students on campus, was it University of Texas?
Don't come to Texas either - UGH
Texas A&M
West Texas A&M but currently on scholarship to study in Japan for a year.
Snow in Colorado
It snows more up north than it does out on the southeastern plains near Pueblo. I live there. We really need snow and some moisture. It's been like that for 5 or more years.
? For Snow Bunny
Somewhere on the board, I read that you mentioned a website www.productivity.com. I keyed that in and good a website for some kind of tool manufacturer.  Could you double check the addy for the website - I can use all the help I can get to get my counts up. 
SNOW BUNNY NEED YOUR
help. Now have involuntary jerking of hands and will be typing and hands just collapse downward. Is there a program that we can talk into and it will type the words for us? Please send me an email if you know of such a thing.
Snow Bunny - yes!
All the great classics! You ROCK, Mellencamp or not!
Snow Bunny
I am not on a high horse and I have no idea how on earth why you are so angry that I am happy to have a job for the rest of my working life. My post was merely made to share with others who have not experienced VR yet that it is nothing to be afraid of. Your tirade is completely inappropriate and off the mark.
I work in a very large teaching and research hospital where they dictate over the phone lines - they don't have the time to customize the VR and what we get in this hospital probably isn't as clean as what you get from a clinic or a hospital with a more stable dictating population.
I enjoy doing it and it entertains me to see how the computer prints out things phonetically.
You should consider another user name - bunnies are nice and snuggly - might I suggest Rabid Rabbit?
Okay, I think I know what snow bunny is saying
It doesn't seem like all opinions are welcome. Someone protested about the fact they do not celebrate Christmas, and then we are bombarded with Merry Christmas all over the place..obviously trying to "stir things up." Last week someone posted the word "God" in a non-religious tone, someone complained, and then someone posted "God" to try to stir things up, then that one gets erased. Why are you picking and choosing, I know you're the owner, but as the owner aren't you supposed to be neutral?
Snow Bunny-I need you....
would you please email me? i was wondering if you could help me with dns, i have questions about dns and working in templates.  it seems that you've had great luck with this product so i was hoping that you might know how to guide me. TIA!!!!
How many of those outsourced MTs have even seen snow??

Snow bunny is the one to ask on this - sm
she uses it and swears by it, but I know she stresss training and a good mic. I have the DVR Medical V.8, but I have been too lazy to train it and use it consistently. Plus I am not sure it would work for me except for a few doctors I do as I would have to do a lot of copy and pasting if I used it (use WP5.1) in WP11. My WP5.1 macros don't work in the WP format even in the blue window which stinks. If I could use them I would use it in a heart beat as I think it would be faster for me in the long run, but this is beside the point. If you do decide to try it buy the right one, the medical one is what you would want. I got mine on ebay for abour $300 (which I resold), then bought the upgrade for $150. So I spent about $200 for my whole set up. So you can buy it relatively cheaply if you look. Good luck.
No snow here...and happy!!
Lived up north, moved south and am quite happy. I do miss it at Christmas time though
thanks so much snow bunny-
Texas weather
We haven't hit 100 yet, but i'm sure it is in the near future. Thank God I'm not in arizona!
TEXAS school
Does anybody know of a good MT school in Dallax, TX
Texas School
Stay away from the "trade" schools and business colleges - nothing but a waste of your or the governments money - I know, I worked for one. Try to find a community or junior college with an accredited program. The noncredit courses are also mostly a waste of your time and money - unless you already have some experience and are just wanting to brush up. Hope this helps.
TransTech in Texas does them. nm

lived in Texas too
I posted to you about where to look. We also lived in Dallas and they are overpriced too. You don't pay a state income tax in Florida, but there are a lot of hidden sales taxes and such. The problem with living on the water is you can't get insurance and if you find it, it's extremely high. We left Florida and went to Biloxi, Mississippi and it was about half the cost of Florida and we were 1 block from the beach. We had planned to go back but it will take a few years to be rebuilt. In the meantime, heading to TN as they do not have a state income tax, a vehicle tax, and the property taxes are much much less.
Was this company in Texas?

Pecos, Texas
is where I was born...a hot dry dusty place. Lived around Ft.Worth area growing up, then got married and raised a family around Cleburne, TX....I currently live in Arkansas, where it is beautiful and the people are more friendly. I have 20 acres in the woods, so could not be in a better place for me. I have my two dogs, three cats and together we are a pack, with me as the leader of course, ha ha. Kids have grown and left home, are both in their 20's. Gotta get back to work. Living out here is the perfect place to work from home, but I cannot just work all day in a nightgown, have to get dressed except for shoes (like to use footpedal barefooted) to get in a mindset of "going to work".
Hope this is not a doc in Texas. sm
I had a podiatry doc that did this and it was not worth doing as he only wanted to pay 3.50 per page but the margins were 0.25 on each side, 9 size font, and 0.25 top and bottom margin. Awful, awful, awful!
Is this OUR GEORGE E FROM TEXAS???? nm

Nope--I'm in Texas

Live in Texas....
I'm on balanced billing since I like to know exactly what my bill will be every month. It is $238/month year round. We have a family of 4 and keep the house at 75 all the time with all the fans running as well. My DH would like to keep it cooler, but that is cool enough for me!
MOVING TO TEXAS
Stay away from the D/FW area and Houston - too much traffic and illegals. Drugs, gangs, etc. Try to find a small town or country setting. It is HOT and the concrete of the cities just increases that heat. Also the pollution in these areas is bad so if you have any type of lung or breathing problems - stay away. However, if you do not mind sitting in traffic for an hour to get to a job 10 miles away - then you should move to a big city. If you are planning to work from home, remember that internet is not available everywhere in Texas. Personally, I wouldn't move to Texas - I would choose SC or FL - much better options.

Is it the Texas heat?
I think we may have worked for the same lady! She never had the AC on in her office except for a unit in the room with the phone equipment to keep it cool, so my husband used to say that it must be the heat frying her brain cells. If it isn't the same lady, it's a real clone. I don't work for her anymore, either!
Actually, in Texas the employer must have
if they do have such policy, they must follow it.
I checked. :)
Texas Coast
just had the CBS affiliate on here in Miami and they are saying Ike is now a Cat 1, but expected to strengthen to a Cat 3 with landfall either in TX or Mexico by Saturday morning.
Texas drivers
I live in TX and have never heard of this. Have ins through AAA, just renewed last month in fact. No mention of this. Where did you get your quote?
fortunately no, not a lot of snow days, but...
this school "year" we have a week off every dagum month! Except for Oct and March, I think. I feel that we are progressing towards the same year round schedule as the other poster...nine weeks on, two weeks off, etc. Which I don't know if I'll like or not. I have a 6 YO son and he needs the structure, schedule, etc. Not two weeks or a week off every time we turn around. Their first week off is Sep 5-9! How crazy is that. A week off a month after school starts. But, I don't make the rules, I just have to adjust to them. Bon voyage, summer! 
Snow, they are totally different classifications.

Thanks Snow Bunny, I'll do that
And yes I do use an ergonomic keyboard, but it just seems the longer I do this, the less I can get done in a day because I can hardly type after 5-6 hours.
snow would be the deal breaker for me
I like to see it snow here about once a year and then I want it to be gone after a day or so. This past winter we barely got a few flakes. It was actually too warm most of this winter, even for me. I love the spring and fall in NC. Starting to get some really warm days now though.
Oh, and love me some sweet tea. Don't think I could live without that! Bojangles sweet tea is the best!!!
yes, Snow Bunny, I don't have a clue what
your point is. Explain, please.
Me too. Snow Bunny turned me on to it. I use it every day. nm

snow hurts my eyes
too much glare. It blocks my rays!
I had the same problem with a Texas Co. Email me
I'm just wondering who the company is and if it is the same one I worked for. I eventually got paid but they used the old "check got lost in the mail" routine.
fort worth, texas
Still here too!
She was from Texas. May be the same person. Initials BF?

Anyone see Texas Ranch House and think that
there is a similiarity in the medical transcription business? The MTs are the cowboys, the ranch owners the MTSO and the daughters like the doctors? The cowboys do all the work, the owners try to extract as much as they can from the cowboys while paying as little as they have to, and the daughters do virtually nothing but complain about the cowboys/MTs?
