You might try Kraftfoods.com and search under appetizers. They have a lot of easy recipes. sm
Just simple cheese and crackers and cut up vegetables with dip and/or chips and dip are easy and will go with whatever else you might make. Have fun!
For a great web site - try slimfast.com - The recipes are fast and easy -- congrats on trying to
eat healthy - it's hard for me cause I love burgers and fries, so I still cheat every once in a while --
Use less salt than directed in the recipes. Try the powdered milk hot chocolate recipes! Yummy :-)

Then those that are hard for some but easy for others - sm
would fall somewhere in the middle of the scale. That is most likely the majority of what our work consists of, anyway. Then there are the 10% that are outstanding dictators with easy work and high line counts to be made. But the 10% that hardly ANYONE can transcribe, and that are slow-going at best to try to type, those should cost more. And an MT that can slog though mumbling or otherwise hard-to-understand dictators and turn out a completed report should be duly paid for the extra skill and time that report took to transcribe.
Easy. Raise your rate.

The easy part is making the decision to leave, the hard part is
actually doing it. Been in your shoes and it took me a year and a half to leave after I had made the decision to do so. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself and my girls. I had family and friends and a counselor telling me what needed to be done and I knew what needed to be done but until I had the courage on my own to do it I stayed. One day, we had an argument and he spit in my face and that was the last straw for me. Even though it is something that I will NEVER forget, that day is also a day I will never forget because it is the day that I took my kids and left. I am a single mom of 2 and have been single and supporting us for 5 years now. I have been healing ever since and still am to this day. You can do this. I know that if I hadn't have left and I would have stayed one of us would be dead by now or both.
b, there are a lot of recipes on the
Holiday/Recipe board on ForuMatrix or at hometalkcafe.com, both of which are owned by MTStars.
Thanks to all for recipes.
I will try them all.

Here's a link to a focaccia bread recipe. I've never tried it, because I bought this from a bread store this morning. The loaf I bought has onion, spinach, garlic, sundried tomato, parmesan cheese, and herbs on top.

Jerk seasoning can be used on most meats. You can buy sauces or make your own rub. Look for either Caribbean or Jamaican jerk. KC Masterpiece makes a good spiced Caribbean jerk marinade. It's got molasses, soy sauce, onion, garlic, spices, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, red pepper, hot pepper, and pineapple puree.

Easter recipes sm
It is very difficult for me because my children married different faiths and it used to be that we (before they married) would go to church and then to a restaurant (our favorite) as a special treat for family style soup, salad and main course. Of course, the "new" family had to kill this plan since the other side did not like our Church. Too bad. I started to cook brunch after service which included: Coffee or tea, lots of different juices, bacon, ham (spiral), fried potatoes (home fries), waffles (finally woke up to buying prepared and frozen), lots of syrup, butter, fresh strawberries and blueberries, some favorites of the grandchildren (one liked cantaloupe, another's favorite was my homemade sugar cookies, another liked my peanut butter cookies). I cook for days but it's worth it. Know how I got rewarded? The "other" moms got so jealous, they started to offer "brunch" instead of the traditional dinner (ham and all the trimmings, sit-down style).. I was frustrated at this, but I still try. Why don't people realize that "life is temporary" - whatever works for you. Since someone "stole" my brunch idea, I offer nice foods still, at whatever time their schedule (allows) them to show up; not necessarily breakfast, but some rented "childrens movies" with no pressure. As long as we build it, they will come. However, my brunch was sooooo popular, I'm glad someone "stole" it from me. It's kind of like having MT account "stolen" from you, it's not the same quality, but you have to realize that copying you is a true compliment and you should enjoy it. BTW (by the way) I have a bit of Polish in me, so I thoroughly enjoyed the kielbasa aspect of Easter, I slice it up and cook it first in a little water to get rid of the grease. Then I recook it using currant jelly and slice it, put wooden toothpicks in there and let them munch. Easter should be fun, no matter what religion you are in or out of, "He" would just like you to have fun on His special day, or more especially a family day, never mind what you believe in or choose not to believe in. It's a fun day!!!
Thanks for the recipes. They sound
great.

If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal. The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected. Many companies will not allow satellite.

There are some good crockpot recipes out there, especially
if it's hot and you don't want to use the oven. I do a "golfer's special". Line a cake pan with tin foil, put the roast in, and add cut up carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery. Sprinkle it with onion soup mix or beef gravy mix, close the foil, then bake until done. It can also be done in the crockpot.
You can cube your roast to make shish kebabs slathered in BBQ or some other bold tasting sauce. Skewer new potatoes, onions, mushrooms, squash, red peppers, and whatever other veggies you like.
You can cut up the roast either before or after cooking, stick it in the crockpot with some beef broth, let it cook all day, then serve as French dip sandwiches on steak rolls with au jus. Fries, salad, or chips on the side.
Sometimes I just sit here and Google for recipes when I'm bored and can't think of what to cook for dinner. Type "rump roast recipe" on Google without quotes to see what else comes up. You can narrow your search by adding "BBQ" or "crockpot".
would you mind sharing some of your recipes?
I'm afraid of Oriental cooking. If you wouldn't mind sharing a recipe or two, i'd be very  !!!
There are a bazillion recipes online

there's more info on how MTs feel about their companies than recipes/fav songs.
Besides I wouldn't come to this board to learn what some cranky MTs favorite song is. I'm here to dish the dirt about the companies who control the MTs.
Paula Deen is fabulous! I love her recipes and
the way she ooohs and ahhhs when she takes a bite of one of her dishes. Makes you just wish YOU were the one taking that bite! See the HomeTalkCafe cooking forum for some fun. http://www.hometalkcafe.com or click the link below.
I have boneless chicken breasts marinating. Any good recipes? Too hot to grill outside.
Thanks.
I love almost all of Paula's recipes, but the scrambled eggs & oyster porch

Charge him an hourly rate. The current rate is
between $15-21/hr. according to your location. If he had to use an independent secretarial service, he would be charged much more. You can look in the Yellow Pages in your area under Secretarial Service and ask them what they charge, then charge accordingly knowing you can back it up.
Well, Word is easy to buy and easy to install. Word 97 works great. Cheap. SM
I still would not work anywhere I could not use a spell checker with grammar checker and a Steadman's Medical Spell Checker.
IF they want people to TRANSCRIBE MEDICAL REPORTS, then I guess they better get the programs they need.
It's like probably 110% easier to buy and install Word 97 than to try to program their own programming. And, yes, I do mean Microsoft Word 97. Why? Because you can install it unlimited times, in case you need to install the operating system again. And it has a few features that Microsoft, in its un-wisdom, took away in Word 2000 and 20003 and 2007. So, yes, I'd go with Word 97 for its cheapness and it works better than the later versions. Just my opinion, with 20 years experience being an MT. So what if they "don't have it" on their computer? It's easy to get.

Easy easy money they are!
I don't mind seeing those puppies filter in at all. Same for H&Ps. They are always different though, so can't really pop in the same pre-formatted autotext, but it's usually WHAMMO 2-3 pages at a time. Give them a shot...you may just be pleasantly surprised!
I think I smell either VR on the easy stuff, or offshoring of the easy stuff.

ME rate 80% of baseline MT rate
are you happy with the 20% cut to do ME work or are you going to just do MT work (which will be those dictators that ASR can't do) at your baseline rate?

Employee rate/IC rate......
I work at home for a hospital account that I make .11 cpl on 60-character line. I also do IC work for a clinic where I make .14 cpl. I am from Missouri.
I think I found it, found multiple recipes with the same
exact ingredients so I figure this must be it.

If the mom wasn't in Aruba throwing a fit and crying on TV, we would all speculate about why she wasn't there and why she doesn't care. Either way, whatever she did, there would be someone there complaining about how she was doing it.
I would say until it is your daughter or son, maybe we should just keep our mouths shut and not pass judgment on them.
Also, I don't care what kind of bad decision or how drunk the young girl was, wrong though it may be, that doesn't mean she deserves to be murdered or raped. It makes me sick that we are always so eager to jump on the victim and the family at times like this.
We are doing it now - it's not so easy for my DH
He began the process of buying a new business in April. It was supposed to be completed by July 15, but there have been so many delays and things getting dragged out, it still isn't done. At first he was very excited about spending the some time home with the kids this summer, but I can definitely see for the last month or so he's gotten very depressed, sleeping more, not getting motivated, doesn't want to do anything with the kids anymore. I think men in general need to be productive (at least the good ones do), and unfortunately, raising kids doesn't offer a lot of immediate gratification. It's fun for a little while, but they eventually need more. I can't want for him to be gone so I can be "mom" again.
That's easy enough to do when you get the
same dicators on a routine basis. I type for a very large hospital with many outside facilities and rarely do I get the same dictators on a regular basis. Therefore, my paycheck is considerably less than cherry-pickers. What these people do is listen to a few minutes of the report and, if they don't like what they hear, they send it back. Also, of note, these are not necessarily the mumblers, ESL, or speed talkers. Many of these are reports that have a problem, i.e., wrong MR# so I have to enter all of the demo info (not paid for), wrong report type so I have to change it and make a note to send to the hospital, no date of service given with again a note to the hospital, etc. All time-consuming, frustrating, and cutting into my paycheck.
very easy. I have my 2 as well as
my parents next door networked, a total of 4. make sure to have your network password protected.
that's an easy one
Worked for an owner-operated MT company and the owner was an alcoholic. She expected no less than 18 hour days 7 days a week and if you asked for even ONE day off per week, she would start cursing and carrying on and saying she would give the accounts away. Then when she got really drunk, she'd start messaging all this personal stuff about her husband and former husbands and their sex life and all that. She was this astrology nut who hired on the basis of the "signs" of the transcriptionists and if she would call to curse you out about something (even if it didn't pertain to you) she would say it was the person's "aura" that was bad for the company. Yup there are real nuts out there.
That's easy. sm
I have been a fry cook, nurse's aid, farm worker, receptionist, clerk in a U-Totem. I kind of enjoyed all of them. My worst job was waiting tables. It's grueling work, for little pay and you have to rely on your tips to get you through. It's more demanding physically than most people can imagine and you never get to sit down. Plus, you deal with attitudes all day long. Never again.
That's an easy one...
Congratulations!! You are now qualified to do most every job in medical records, except for the supervisory roles. We, MTs, would make awesome coders!! We are also qualified to do positions in medical offices, receptionist, coder, referrals, etc. Start putting out your resume!! You'll see!! And, by the way, when the Transcriptionist is on vacation, you are the automatic fill-in. More money!!!
Not easy, but this is what we do. . sm
Four kids. Birthdays are 2 in mid September, 1 end of October and 1 two weeks before Christmas! We now have a new grandson who is just a month old, so we can just add on to the pre-Christmas insanity for next year as I'm sure he won't expect much this Christmas. :)
My poor hubby's birthday is 2 weeks after Christmas. We usually just make him a card or something. :) Nothing until my birthday in May, but I get the homemade cards too. Must make mental note to buy construction paper. :)
I never bought BIG for my kids at Christmas. I spend about $500 total. I make a lot of stuff too. My parents are gone. His parents just want school pics of the kids.
I guess I'm lucky. Our whole family from grandparents right down to my youngest don't see Christmas as "I want, I want." They know that Christmas is about giving and that presents should come from the heart. I still have every badly glued Christmas ornament that my kids ever made me hanging on the tree every year.
Every year, no matter how much or how little money we have, we always pick a name off from one of the local "giving trees" to buy a gift for a child from a needy family. Usually these requests are for socks or boots or something, but we always include an age appropriate toy or book or game.
We donate food items to the Christmas food drive and would never even dream of walking by a Salvation Army Christmas donation kettle without putting in at least a dollar or two. 
These furniture ads that scream, "WOULDN'T DAD LOVE A NEW FLAT SCREEN TV FOR CHRISTMAS?" make me ill.
Re: Not easy...
<<we always pick a name off from one of the local "giving trees" to buy a gift for a child from a needy family. Usually these requests are for socks or boots or something, but we always include an age appropriate toy or book or game.>>
I'd like to share my story about those 'giving trees.' Last year, I was going through a divorce. My ex decided to stop paying child support, dump all our bills on me and leave the state. I was also sick and racked up several thousand dollars in medical bills. The school counselor put my kid's names on the giving tree at Wal-Mart. My kids got really, really nice gifts, and it was wonderful. Those gifts meant the world to my kids. It really made them feel great that a stranger cared to give them something when we were going through so much. This year I've pretty much gotten back on my feet financially and things are much better. We were at Wal-Mart last week, and my kids saw the giving tree. They both decided to spend their birthday money that they have been saving on a child from the giving tree. They each spent $40. My daughter, who is 10, said that she thinks the most important present she is going to give every year is to the giving tree. It was really hard going through my divorce and the financial difficulties, but I think it taught my kids a really important lesson that they couldn't have learned any other way.
Not easy 50K
I can't say it was an easy 58.5K this year but I did it. It was 50K for me as I paid 8.5 to my subs who work 5 to 6 hours per week for me. That is all they want to work. But I did it and hoping to go above 60 next year, we will see.
