the extra bottle for the shampoo is an excellent idea

Another shampoo/conditioner idea
Go to Sally Beauty Supply. They occasionally have their shampoo on sale - one-gallon jugs of concentrate for $5. Variety of fragrances and formulas with matching conditioner. This stuff has lasted me over a year and is still going strong.
Excellent! - Idea
I think we should all call CitiBank and demand to be taken off their solicitation mailing list. I have never done business with them, but they send me about 100 pieces of junk mail a year! What a waste! I will NEVER do business with them.
That's an excellent idea. I need to try that.

What an excellent idea - thanks!
I'm going to look into that. Thanks to everyone for all your input - it is so helpful :)
Excellent idea. Maybe I should do this!
Housing market seems to have cycles. And, there are always going to be those young first time home buyers. Plus, all of the migration with the gulf disaster and those needing new homes should help real estate in your area.
It will definitely make you feel more secure and with that sense of relief, you will enjoy life so much more.
If nothing else, this MT situation is anxiety provoking and from what I can see from reading all of these posts, it is having a definite negative impact on the quality of all of our lives with the possible small exception of those who do not rely on their income to pay the core bills.
I think this would be an excellent idea.
I'm in the process of having to take a group of doctors to court for nonpayment of a very large invoice, and I see another poster below is having a hard time collecting as well. Further, I've read other posts here about nonpayment in the past.
I think listing these dead- beat doctors'/clinics/MTSOs/etc. names and addresses here might help to put a stop to their shoddy treatment of transcriptionists doing the work and not being paid for it, as well as alert those who will start working with/for them as to their dishonorable practices so that they know exactly what they're getting into.
I can assure you if I had known this about the group who hasn't paid me, I would never have taken on their account and worked for free for five weeks; however, I can assure you after I take their hindends to court, I will prevail, but it would sure be nice to list their names fully here. (And I highly doubt I'm the first one they've done this to!)
Thank you, and I hope we get a favorable response!
That's an excellent idea and (sm)
Can you believe I forgot I had one? I never use the thing and it is hooked up to an old computer. I'll have to dust it off. Duh me for not thinking of that! Thanks!
another excellent idea (sm)
I think she is timid about venturing out just yet with the kids but I can see her trying the library. I know she used to take them to story time at the local library here so that would be great. Where she has moved to is a larger city so I'm sure their libraries will have even better programs. Thank you for that suggestion. I've already emailed and mentioned it to her. I think it will be good for her and the kids.
excellent idea!
You are just to funny! I imagined this Doctor in the boat and everything, that right there would help me blow off steam and I haven't even started working yet! I just remember the doc's I listened to while I was in training and I wished sometimes I could throw my computer out the window or transcription machine!!So humor is a great outlet, although the margarita probably couldn't hurt! But just one of course!! ha ha
I think the warming blanket excellent idea
Bought one for my bed and it is plumb yummy! I turn it on when I enter my bedroom for the night, letting it warm some and by the time I get in the bed my bed is toasty warm. I stay so cold always, run lower temps than most because of a thyroid problem. I have a space heater in my workroom that I keep on lots during the winter but that electric (half size) blanket is tops!
Excellent idea, I like the 0.25 per resend. I will implement that the next time she does this. THA

Can they do surgery extra fast? What do they do with the extra glove in the pack?

here is the link to the shampoo
http://www.avenaherbs.com/
Deb Soule has written quite a few books, the farm is unbelievable, and the shampoo for dogs was the best I had ever used on my beloved beagle. Hate to keep boasting like this, but my beagle actually liked being bathed in this shampoo as opposed to the other stuff we had given her.
So when are you coming over to shampoo my rugs?
They get soooooooo dirty, sooooooooo fast. I'm talking light pink here. We do have an Electrolux carpet shampooer and we honestly use it at least once a month for full carpet cleaning and even more for spot cleaning. Otherwise I'd have a pink rug with brown stripes. :)
I'd just use a regular /baby shampoo until you can
flea shampoo for puppies, then get some Frontline or Advantage....just check what the age is for it, pretty sure you can use those puppies. Keep her away from the other dogs obviously, especially if she has worms as just about all puppies do.
Not people-baby shampoo. pH is too low.
My vet says regular people shampoo isn't so bad, but people baby shampoo has a much lower pH that is totally wrong for dogs. Now puppy shampoo is great. It has the same anesthetic for the eyes that baby shampoo has, but with the correct, higher pH. He also assured me that it is okay to use people dandruff shampoo on cats or dogs now and then, especially if the animal has oily-type dandruff.
Extra shift or extra work
Has anyone taken on an extra job or shift with a new company for a just a few months to get out of debt or to be able to pay for something that is needed or wanted? I am thinking about taking on another job to get out of a stressful debt situation. I am just afraid I would be going into another stressful situation working more hours with the very busy family schedule I have.
Don't lay down to read to them at night, do everyone's sheets, and your shampoo your heads, to

Maybe a bottle of Jose Cuervo

If an MT drinks a whole bottle of wine while...
working, there is NO WAY that can't have any affect. Yikes!  There she.he goes now! 
Nope..the almighty bottle came first with my EX
After 25 yrs, along with 4 before that of dating then he decides the bottle is more important....well it was & still is and I got outta there
The baby has to eat, whether breast or bottle
feeding. This is a time in their lives that you will only have just once and no matter how much you wish to have it again, it will never be. I breast-fed my youngest 30 minutes, every 30 minutes it seemed. It can be done if you have the right attitude and you have some flexibility in your job and your SO is willing to help out.
The 'Genie' (internet) is out of the bottle, but - (sm)
the medical world seems to think that in the case of MTs, they can return ours to the bottle.
We have it. We like it. And we're never gonna give it up.
try Listerine in a spray bottle
it works in my car. I had problems with ants getting in the car during summer. I was told to spray (soak) the carpet, and WA la... no more ants!!
You could bathe with a gentle shampoo or even dish detergent, rinse well and if you have vinegar do
a vinegar rinse and then do a final rinse. This might drown the fleas or at least stun them. If dog is light colored you might be able to see them and pick them off when dog is wet. If you have a dog brush, brush it outside and you might get some off that way. If you have tea tree oil you can put some around its neck area or on a collar if you have one. This is a fairly strong smell though and we've always had to wash it off the same day, though lots of people swear by this. I can't think of anything else you can do with stuff you already have around the house.
We adopted 3 kittens from the shelter and have never had a flea problem, but now we can't seem to get rid of them and my dog is on 3 different treatments and I still find an occasional flea. She has developed a sensitivity to bites too and scratches all the time and can't take prednisone because she has Cushings.
Growing up we had a tri-colored Pembroke corgi. He was the sweetest thing and I still miss him terribly, 30 years later.
I agree with mac. You might want to buy a BIG bottle of Excedrin before starting but the more you
type them the easier it gets. I also write down the phrases, which helps and have example reports. The words I usually do get stumped on too are the English words we use everyday. Keeping trying and they will get lots easier
The water bottle is a very good training tool
for cats (squart guns too). Get a good scratching post and rub it with catnip. I use double-sided tape that I get from the Foster&Smith website and the cats leave my furniture alone. (I have 4 cats). The log is a nice idea too...messy but nice in addition to scratching posts and such.
Not all combs/brushes are created equal and I have found that the curry-comb type work best. They are sometimes called a shedding comb. It is in the shape of a loop with a handle. I put a towel on the floor and go to town! In the spring I can get a cat-sized ball of fur off of them using this comb. Regular combing will really help keep your house cleaner. You still need to use a roller or duct tape placed around your hand to remove it from your furniture on a regular basis. Good luck.
People should have powdered formula/mild. Mix it up one bottle at a time.

Here's a tip: Put fabric softener and hot water in spray bottle and spray the paper down. Works
extra help
maybe I should look into being a subcontractor. Do you find this on the job seeker's board from time to time? Thanks!
I only do an extra cpl.
Unless there are a ton of STATs, it doesn't cause that much of a TAT issue.
Ditto for getting nothing extra for anything and not getting any better.
extra money
I operate a computerized accounting service - bookkeeping, taxes, payroll.
HRBLOCK.Com has classes online. If your good in math, might be a good fit. Flexible hours, good pay. I have my own clients but have worked for them before. I plan to get an advanced certification to specialize in sole proprietors, partnerships, S-corps, etc. Just shi----n around, I can make $5000 during tax season. Before I had my baby, I made 14,000 during tax season.....Sky is the limit if you're a fast learner.....
I do. I have an extra VoiceWriter but SM
not the modem thing - which is what will probably go! The LX-219 is cheap on ebay but the modem is not so cheap.
I have no backup computer but I there are other computers in my house that I could use.
What extra services...
I was wondering if any of you MTSOs, or MTs that work for an MTSO, offer any extra services to your clients? For example, do you do their envelopes and labels as well? Or anything else? Keeping in mind that you are not in the same town and that your employees are not in the office or even same state as you, lol. Thanks for any suggestions!
curious
I think that is 0.03 per line extra. nm

Extra money
I did paper routes!
I just said I DON'T have the extra cash.
However, I'm not going to shop there because what comes around, goes around. If I don't support the other small businesses in my area, they won't support my business or my husband's business.
have extra taken out of his but enough to pay 100% of last years...sm
So if your total tax bill for last year was $4000, you need to make sure by the end of this year that he has had $4000 (plus a little extra for fudge) taken out. Otherwise you will get fined. Probably easier to get it taken out of his than to do the extra forms to fed and state and write the checks and keep track and add it to your income tax form next year...
You have to pay extra to get the Dongle
A little thing that plugs into your USB so that you can use it unlimited times. I think that cost about $30 extra. That's why I did because I know for a fact that I'll need more than 3 installs.
TN - It may take a while to get here from TX, but I will make extra!!

I use an extra bedroom currently. We
homeschool and I also have a couple of bookshelves in my office filled with school stuff and a 3-drawer rolling cart filled with school stuff, plus another desk and printer stand in addition to mine, and a 2-drawer filing cabinet. When I am organized and have everything off the floor and clean I am very comfortable in my space, but when I have piles of books and other stuff on the floor and on the desk it isn't as pleasant a place to be.
I have worked in a BR that I had all the baby's things/toys in and that wasn't so bad because at the time I didn't have all the gadgets I have now.
I have also worked in a corner of my den and I liked being out with the family and the kitchen was right off the family room, but it is hard to work with someone watching TV and talking around you.
No..I mean 900 EXTRA lines. SM
Meaning, I get paid the incentive pay from lines 1100 to lines 2000 (or a TOTAL of 900 lines out of 2000). Hope this helps clear it up.

Some places will pay extra for
longer to transcribe. My company does. It does help.
Not that many places pay extra for CMT (nm)

Extra Typing...Anyone?
Does anyone do any extra typing on the side...other than medical transcription? Maybe something like manuscripts or anything like that? I love to type and have my medical accounts, but just looking for something a little extra, without being on a strict TAT, etc. Just wondering. Thanks.
anyone who needs to plug in an extra USB
You can go to Walgreen's and buy a Hub for $10.00 apx and then plug it into the computer. However, if it doesn't work at first, unplug it and then plug it back in. This only works for the mouse, keyboard and foot pedal, not the printer plug. The printer plug must be plugged in directly into the computer.
Always asking for extra work.
Do you all get as tired as me when the QA people are constantly hawking the MTs to do extra work. Every day its the same old thing - but they do it in a very passive aggressive "pretty" way. I figure, if there's that much work constantly, hire more MTs. I mean, how much can we stare into the screen!!
I get 0.08 for everything, nothing extra for STATs. nm
@
Oh, God forbid we get an extra two keystrokes
pretty obvious what side of the fence they're on
Does anyone else earn extra money.....
I transcribe 200+ pages per month at $5.00 a page for a local hospital and write resumes as well. The resumes pay better and have over 7000 in my repertoire, however, my first love is MT.
