NOrdstrom's carries Bare Minerals
That is what I am told and keep thinking about checking it out but haven't yet. I also love it and to be sure as I felt like I could not see a difference, I did one side of my face with it and one with my "old" Clinique make-up and there was a HUGE difference. So that sold me. It lasts longer and I think it does work out to be about as much as Clinique or the other ones and it is worth it to me as I get older. But I did hear it was being sold at Nordstrom's and so that might help with the shipping as that is what adds to it.

Working at home carries special challenges sm
I take exception to the person who said you must never have worked outside of your home. Phooey!
When you work outside the house...you have a babysitter, you put on decent clothing, you leave the house. You spend your day primarily with other adults. You have to limit your personal calls. Someone else provides your workspace, your desk, your pencils for goodness sake. Your coworkers have their own supplies too. Someone else outlines the course of your day and what you will do in it. You probably have a steady task assigned to you and you know what it is. Yes, you go home to housework, but it is what you left that morning, it didn't breed while you were gone.
When you work at home, your "office space" may be a loose term. Your coworkers are children, grandchildren and anyone else who feels entitled to be there. Your "coworkers" help themselves to your office supplies. Because you are an MT, no one assigns you tasks that are consistent. No one can know from day to day how much work will be there to be done, who will be dictating it, how long it will be, nor how long it will take to complete. You will do this in a vacuum to a great extent and not have any other adults to interact with. Because you are at home, dishes and laundry breed and multiply during your work day.
Now add to this that no one, other than your fellow MTs, have the slightest idea what you do or what it takes to get it done. They have seen those incredibly imbecilic ads on TV and, as they have no other frame of reference, expect this to be YOU. They don't seem to connect that when your hands are not on the keyboard, you are not making any money. They don't get that you can't talk AND listen AND type all at the same time. Your average human can't talk, listen and type at the same time, and goodness knows that they usually can't walk and chew gum at the same time...but you are an MT and they A$$ume you can because working at home has imbued you with superhuman powers.
Remember that old old Geritol commercial? You do so much for so many...and while your problem probably isn't constipation, you are suffering. We are women and somehow we expect a lot from ourselves, but I am telling you, others expect even more. In the end, what really gets juggled out of the equation is time for oneself to do as one pleases...bubble bath, coffee out of the house and ALONE, time for a friend, for a walk, for a bit of relaxation that really would add to quality of lives and make us feel more adequate for the tasks of life and work.
I know that when my kids were growing up I had to set limits about their mess, their noise and their pestering of the mama while she was working. In exasperation one afternoon I shouted at them: Clean the house!!!! See these hands? They feed you, they clothe you, and they do it at the keyboard. I make $20 an hour (it has been a while) and every time you interrupt me, it means I don't make the money for something YOU WANT. If I clean the house, every hour I spend costs YOU $20 AND something you think you need or want. By helping out, you literally put money in all our pockets. By giving me the time and the space and the quiet and the lack of interruptions to work, you are literally putting more money in our pockets. So, kiddos, what will it be?
You know, after that I rarely loaded the dishwasher, never had to clean a floor again, vacuum...all sorts of stuff. My chore was the laundry and I could do that on my MT breaks. If they started to fall off a bit, I would show them my hands and say something like "my time is your money" and they were back on task. I was a single parent for years and MT supported us, and more handsomely when they got the picture.

TranscriptionGear.com has footpedals
and can deliver them quickly. I got a GearPlayer, and it's great, but it didn't work for every place I tested with. I got through the testing even without a foot pedal, but it is annoying. Do use the F keys if it lets you. That helps a lot.
transcriptiongear dot com - 10 pair for $11.00
they send 'em 10 pair to one package for $11.00........not that I need 10 pair but is how they sell them.......
Check at transcriptiongear.com (sm)
They have a service for $66 a month (not sure if it would be worth it to you). Better if you can get the doctor to pay for a digital dictator with docking station, then they can upload the files to their computer, email them or FTP them to you and you can play them on express scribe.
You can also check ebay for used call in systems but not sure if they have them.
Good luck!

Transcriptiongear is a great site
I just purchased a new headset for my microcassette transcriber, and I actually chatted with a customer rep and she helped me find just the right one. It was great. I think it is 8-8 eastern time for the chat option though. It was very helpful. I cannot wait to get them. My earbuds were bad-off, but I treated myself to a whole new headset that I'll be more comfortable with.
There are all kinds of

2 kinds of VR
There are 2 kinds of speech recognition. Front-end, like Dragon Dictate, depends on the dictator stopping and correcting his mistakes as he goes. This is what your client should be using. Back-end speech recognition, like what InfraWare or eScription uses, recognizes that correction should occur after the fact by a qualified MT. Those systems provide the Editor with a first draft where the text is tied to the type for easy editing. Your client is confused - not you. Dragon Dictate was not meant to be used this way.

That is why there are all kinds of people
in this world. Different strokes for, well you know the rest. There are lots of fish in the sea. Where 1 don’t work, another 1 will. I could go on and on but I think you might get my idea.
Why not first try with other kinds of transcription
If you are a good transcriptionists there are companies that hire "general" transcriptists to do all kinds of work--interviews, insurance interviews, focus groups, etc. I would start here and learn the process of applying for work, testing, and all that. This is a big part to learn when applying for online work. Some of these services also do medical transcription and you could back in that way. Just Google words like insurance transcription, focus group transcription, business transcription and you will be surprised what you will find. Don't just sit and wait for medical. These companies would give you great training and exposure to working on web platforms and QA and that kind of thing. You have every shot in the world to do this as a starting point. Most services like this want some experience and may start you low but you've got to start somewhere. Then you can start filling up your resume to show you at least have worked for some services. In the meantime you can poke around trying to test/apply with some MTSOs. Are there any services in your area you could sub for? Best of luck.

There are all kinds of ways to prevent
a pregnancy, not the least is abstinence. Why people are so irresponsible is beyond me and then an innocent life will suffer because of her stupidity.
You go OP! Thank goodness those kinds of people...
weren't the ones we needed to depend on in the past 250 yrs. Where would we be now? My ex-husband earns a VERY GOOD salary from the training he received in the Army. He has no college degree, just his military training, which is highly specialized and has provided him with a good income for many years.
I prefer pie here, too. Always have birthday pie, usually two kinds.

Been in this biz for over 15 years, and I've seen all kinds...
a doc who used to snort cocaine in and out of surgery - a pain management doc who used to sell OxyContin on the side to his friends and friends' associates and was just lately sentenced to a prison term - another doctor who was just thrown in jail for one year and fined bucco bucks plus lost his licence to practice medicine for hitting on women patients. Another one who was a drunkard and would operate on his patients in a stupor. All except for three docs have been arrogant, pompous, money-hungry know-it-alls who run totally dysfunctional offices and hire totally dysfunctional employees, seemingly not caring one iota about their patients with the exception of how much he can bill off of them. They dictate like they're half in the bag and could give a fig. The only thing of major concern to the, it obviously appears, is what five-star cruise line they're going to take their family on vacation for two months out of the year. LOL!
We brew different kinds at home....sm
I love grinding my coffee and mixing flavors. our favorites to mix are hazelnut and irish creme. My husband & I go to Starbucks once a week and usually get the caramel frappuccino as a treat - love that stuff!

Takes all kinds in this world I guess.
Bite me.
Probably echoing the others, but this mother of 3 has been though all kinds of these things.
I'd advise not to buy a vehicle for her. You're just setting yourself up for more problems once you put wheels and more freedom into her mix of things. She's not going to be a happy camper but you've got to stand your ground with her. Bring the secrets to the forefront and try to gain her understanding about your feelings and what this does to you. Hopefully it's not to late to get her attention and understanding. In the meantime, you certainly don't want to add to your frustration by putting a car in the mix, it will mean the worst for you (that's just my opinion though). What you do totally is up to you, but she needs you to be strong to possibly save her from herself.
These kinds of posts never cease to amaze me (sm)
Your company didn't have to send you anything. A card is a gift -- which is optional. Since when should a recipient of a gift get to dictate what the gift is or is not?
Also, I don't think you mentioned the size of your company. Consider that not only is your attitude about the whole thing probably way off, but also you're not being realistic to think a company would have time to send each employee an individualized message.
They remembered you. They took time to send SOMETHING. Be glad and grateful. Did you send them anything?
My idea on what the U.S. should do about offshoring work of ALL kinds... (s/m)
I can understand U.S. companies wanting to cut costs and make a profit, and that of course is why they offshore. Even though it's at a huge cost to American workers. Which of course ultimately hurts the overall economy, because displaced workers have much less money to spend on goods & services, etc.
Offshoring isn't likely to be outlawed (though I sure wish it were, especially when it comes to sensitive records, such as financial and medical records!) But don't you think that if the U.S. is going to allow companies to send work offshore, those companies should have to pay a pretty hefty TAX for that privilege?
Here in Calif., our infrastructure such as roads, bridges, school system, fire and police departments, etc. is crumbling, and always needs more money. So of course they continue to raise taxes on us working-class people - the same ones whose jobs are going offshore! They get a little from the Lottery, and a little more from Indian casinos, who are paying the state for the privilege of running gambling casinos in a state where gambling casinos aren't legal! There is a tax on liquor and tobacco. All of those things aren't really good for people, and should be taxed.
Well, offshoring work away from hard-working, middle-class Americans isn't good for people, either! So don't you think companies should be encouraged to keep their work onshore by a TAX that would not only help each state in this country pay for things, but also remove the huge profits those companies make by taking good jobs away from Americans? Maybe that money could even be used to save our failing Social Security system. 
Not MT specific, but try half.com. I buy all kinds of books from there all the time. nm

This is somewhere that we can let our hair down and let our fingers "loose". If most of us transcribed the way we type here, the doctors would almost be better off hand-writing their reports!
