In Reply to: Group halloween costumes - HELP!!!
I think there is a movie out about them, but my boyfriend and his brother liked the characters from childhood. For their basketball team, they had T-shirts made up; one was the torch, one was the rubber man, etc.
Since they brought it back and made a movie, it may be a bit overdone now, though.
Gee, are these four boys, four girls, ages - do they like scary or are they just small?

Know of this - its fantastic
Have been using this for well over a year now and its been a really great help in finding words. I have this as my homepage now, instead of Google. It has all the features of Google, but just so much better. Guess its due to all those medical websites added to its database. If you use this, you'd notice that the first few search results pages almost always show up quality medical links. Normally, you don't have to go beyond a maximum of two search results pages to get what you are lookin for. Try it - you'd know what I'm talkin about :)
that's fantastic! congrats!!
how did you get so lucky to find a man that can actually voice his appreciation of you to you!!??? there aren't many out there like that.
Fantastic Sams
Do you have a Fantastic Sams in your area. In my area they do a good job and they don't cost a fortune. But in all cases, be careful about who you let color your hair. You can also lookup the websites of the different hair color products on the Internet and some of them have a consultation area where you can talk to someone to get advice.
Ours is right at $3, but I get FANTASTIC gas mileage.
I feel for those of with you SUV's and minivans. Filling those up has got to be expensive.
Fantastic!!!! Good for you :-) nm
.
OMG!!! That was totally fantastic! sm
Such great talent for a little boy.  
Who is this fantastic company? May want to apply.

Hey, Ghost, yes, I got these two years ago, they are fantastic,,,,,sm
They really block out any noise around your house, are comfortable, but best of all they produce crisp, clear, life-like sound for all those mumble-mouth dictators.....won't solve everything, but I have been doing this over 25 years, used Dictaphone, and many many other brands, Bose rocks, not to mention using them for music listening, absolutely awesome and worth the bucks, IMHO! 
I thought Transolutions was sooo fantastic, don't they have something to help you with that?

I believe fantastic transcripts only hires locals - sm
But I am not sure. If that is the company out in Burbank/LA - I thought they only hire within 30 minutes of the area. I could be wrong.
Been working on a fantastic project at work...sm
Helping prepare for President Bush to come and give his Veterans Day speech from where I work. It's amazing to see how they put everything together in a few short days. We got word less than a week ago he was even coming, and now we are overrun with preparations and White House/Security staff. Hoping I can get a ticket for my 10 y/o daughter to come to see the speech. If you would have told me 15 months ago when I took this job that I'd be working on this now, I never would have believed you. I worked at home for 13 years, so this is all really huge switch for me.
Sounds fantastic. I wouldn't stres-sm
about it. The colors sound great--the menu sounds delicious. Either place you put the food would be fine. Have fun!
What a fantastic, cogent, and TRUTHFUL post.....sm
We at home have been reduced, in most part, to a pair of hands who are there to pound out high-quality work at all times, put out high-volume work to bring in the $$$ for the company/corporation, and because we are employed at home in order to save physicians, hospitals, and other health care systems $$$, we are where the buck stops, and it is a small buck at that. We are all a separate entity, working remotely, and as such it is easier for many MTSOs to offer the slimmest package they possibly can, and squeeze the most out of the workers. When will companies realize that a happy worker who feels valued and cared about is a more productive, loyal, and healthier asset to the company. I have worked in hospitals with unions, and to be honest, we would still be making half of what we now make were it not for union negotiations standing up for us, the dues are small compared to the guaranteed packages, and guaranteed raises built in to the contract for the next five years, as inflation eats up our paychecks. MTs study hard, must be experts at anatomy, epidemiology, grammar, semantics, translations for ESLs, understand clinical procedures during difficult procedures, edit, trouble-shoot when there is a problem with a file, be tech-savvy....I truly think, after almost 20 years, that MT as a profession has consistently been undervalued and undermined by offshoring. Sorry to rant, but all of these problems have hurt and affected most MTs for many, many years, and their families. Thanks!
Fantastic program .. I have hired MTEC
grads and have been really pleased with them. I would definitely suggest you choose that program. Wonderful education and caring staff.
I do, 20 bucks plus shipping. Pedal works fantastic, hardly used.

This is a fantastic idea actually (renting hotel room)
It may be tax deductible. I actually like my home and it is affordable as I got it at a low price several years ago and put a big down payment on it. In other words, I doubt if I could repeat this. No small children. What I am thinking of is that I will probably have to work until I am 60 at least. The only other option would be to go back to school and get training in another skill but even that seems difficult. I have no idea what I could learn and work at other than nursing.
Thank you very much
Wedding websites are fantastic..that address can be shared on the save the date card.
nm
just please remember that....
science is a GOOD thing :) If anything, the ultimate gift of God. IMO
(shuttin up now)
OKAY, BUT REMEMBER
Remember, maybe your current employer would pay you a penny more a line (MAYBE), but what about the next employer. Things in this business change quickly, and just because your current employer may up your pay, the next one might not care.
Do you remember>>bet I'm
How about those HUGE transcription machines bigger than a desk>>>>I gravitated to MT from KEYPUNCH school...REMEMBER THOSE KEYPUNCH MACHINES!!!!!
I remember
I learned to type on a manual typewriter. I actually won a county typing contest on one of those, when some of the contestants had brought their electric portables with them. I won because I relaxed, thinking I did not have a chance on a manual, and had only two errors. They counted off words for each error. I got my A.S. in HIM, only then it was Medical Records Technology. My first job was in a small physician's office, where I had an IBM Selectric. Dictation was on this little thing with belts. After that was a machine with small little discs that looked like film, that never came out of the machine, just stacked up like a juke box. After that came tapes. My references were a big Dorland's, a Taber's and a PDR. Of course, like another poster said, I had the chart. Even with all the bad things about the business, I don't think I would want to go back.
ek, remember ET...
AND REMEMBER
Oct. 1 if you are ME, you get the "reward" of 20% decrease in pay.
just remember
remember
They used to think that about male nurses too.
I believe so, but can't remember what it is! nm
Don't remember where I was
I probably found out about it at night, when the newspaper arrived. It didn't phase me at all.
In terms of my age at the time ... 27.
How do you ever remember them all?
That's my problem
Remember When? SM
I posted last evening and spent time this morning just chuckling over what people have written. I still have the red book, "A Syllabus for The Surgeon's Secretary." It is all beat up and the spine is broken but I will not part with it. Let me quote, "Only when a satisfactory degree of proficiency has been achieved should a student be given actual work assignments. She thus learns by POSITIVE TUTELAGE as contrasted with the outmoded method of trial and error." The 2nd edition, January 1965 is the date of publication. We had no electronic dictionary or medical speller. Everything we wrote had to be correct or it was literally "thrown back at us" to retype. We had to use our "Dorlands" or "Tabers" and one PDR for the use of the whole office. Believe me, these "one of a kind" books were tattered and torn but we used them or else. We "had" to get it right, no excuses. What a wonderful way to start the New Year. Somehow it seems all worth it now, sore back and tired fingers and all. Happy New Year, Everyone. Mary Mc
I remember when...
As a child;
Movies were 50 cents. We went at least every weekend...
We got cable TV...wow, more than 3 or 4 channels!
Our first VCR had a remote...with a cord running across the floor!
As a teenager;
Let me just say...leg warmers!
Big hair!
Wham! Boy George! Flock of Seagulls...
Those were the days...
I remember
as a child
Combination TV and record player. The record player could play 33-1/3, 45's AND 78's
Stores were closed on Sundays.
As a teenager
White lipstick
Rolling hair up on orange juice cans.
Cash registers without scanners.
Wishnicks (lucky troll dolls)
Don't let the trolls get you down.
i remember those
I'm old enough to remember standing at the meat counter with my mom watching the butcher weigh out the meat and wrap it and if she wanted a special cut he would step back to a table with the meat saw and cut it.
I also remember long trips on Route 66 before the interstates- getting car sick because I was sitting with my knees on the seat looking out the back window watching the stripes and telephone poles go by- my cousins had a Rambler station wagon and that was really cool cause they got to sprawl out in the back it had a luggage rack on top - oh, boy am I really telling my age
Boy am I old. I remember......
when I was a child, and there was no TV, we actually had one of those big floor model radios, and we actually sat around it and listened to it. Wow. When I was a teenager, gas was about 18 cents a gallon, and we used to go out on a Friday night and get a dollar's worth. I also remember our first color TV. Everything looked bright pink, bright blue, and bright green. Probably my most significant memory as a teenager was being on my senior class trip in Washington, D.C. when Kennedy was killed. We saw the White House flag being lowered. Car radios were on all over town, people gathered around cars crying. That was back in the time when everyone was kind of "innocent" - things like that just didn't happen. Wow, what a memory.
I remember when...
Michael Jackson was "normal" and very cool. I remember when we only got three channels out in the country. I remember being in love with Erik Estrada from CHiPs! Ahh, nostalgia. I remember when Ricky Martin was in Menudo. OMG, so cute! When I need a nostalgia fix, I watch "13 Going on 30". She was my age exactly then! Loving those layered polo's and plastic necklaces! I remember watching NEW episodes of "The Cosby Show". Oh, can't forget "The Facts of Life"! Woohoo! Good thread idea. I'm smiling now! Thanx!
WHAT I REMEMBER
When we waited for guys to call us now girls ask guys out (I have two daughters). When you would not be stuck with one guy and would go out with several. When College was an option because jobs were more plentiful. Now College is a must. When TV had the good shows like Different Strokes, Facts of Life Etc, when Kenny Rogers was as hot as Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. When TV was a little more sensored than it is now. When there was more little corner stores and not a variety of supermarkets. When you only had one brand to choose at the store and not a million. When Sundays were a day of rest and not work(stores were closed). The only time you could get donuts was on Sundays at the corner stores.
I remember when...
Milk used to come in glass bottles with cardboard tops. Bread was wrapped in waxed paper with a label on each end. Kids had to be inside as soon as the street lights when on. Everyone ate dinner together, and you had to ask to be excused from the dinner table. All 3 of us kids waited in the back seat of the car while mom did grocery shopping, and we actually believed she could see us.
As a teen I remember city buses took us everywhere, or we walked. I remember bleeding madras shirt, tight cut-off kakhi-colored jeans (but I'm not sure kakhi was a word then), boys with bleached blonde surfer haircuts, and penny loafers without socks. I remember circle pins, letter sweaters, and Aqua-Net.
Thanks, fun!
Just remember
were you were only four days ago. You posted on this board "bawling your eyes out" and having no idea what to do. I am very happy for you, please understand that. But I have been where you are right now. I am not trying to dampen your spirits or get you down, I'm just trying to give you a little bit of reality. I didn't respond to your original post because I felt that you had enough people putting their two cents in. I left my husband over four years ago. It took a lot of courage and it was a very scary thing to do. He was a very emotionally abusive man who had taken away every ounce of self-esteem I had. But I got me and my son out.
I do want you to be happy and excited about the steps you are taking, but I don't want you to forget where you were just a few short days ago. It is very easy to fall back into the same old routine. I heard many, many promises from my ex, and I stayed with him only for things to always go back to the terrible. If you hang on to where you just came from, you won't allow yourself to go back there again.
Good luck.
remember when
I remember when I was working FT outside of the home. Lots of days it grated on my last nerve but I am, make that was, a people person and felt I needed that interaction. Due to child care circumstances I work FT at home now doing transcription. I do find myself getting more and more reclusive and miss the public less as times goes on. I do, however, have a p.r.n. position at a local hospital that I work when I want and so that gets me out there. I usually works Saturdays. I can work there as much or as little as I want. It is really not a hard job but by the end of the day I'm ready to go home. Both jobs make me appreciate the other one more.
I remember that too.
Besides, it looks bad. "He was seen 1 day ago and has had 2 episodes of chest pain, 3 times a day." Come on.
I remember.....sm
I remember the group "Seacrest out" now that you mention it. But I though he did it every show last year. That's cute that you use it.
Oh how I remember it well....sm
I was married for 13 years and we never left the offspring with a babysitter (husband=European)
..and so I read somewhere WAY BACK THEN.....that if he doesn't want to leave the kids with a babysitter, you make plans with your friends and STILL GO out with them.....the article indicated that while the husband may not be happy with that, he will respect you.
I divorced him after 13 years of his CONTROLLING passive-aggressive ways....the fact that his things were always more important than our things...me being an equalist. I want a man in my life, not in my house full time. I will NEVER marry again by choice. *lol* Joni Mitchell (singer back in the 1970s) once sang a line "We love our lovin, but not like we love our FREEDOM!!!!!"
So you go on out and have a GREAT time and DON'T FEEL GUILTY......you deserve time on your own away from everyone at home. I don't even know you and can tell you that with CERTAINTY!!
ENJOY YOUR EVENING.....and hopefully you won't come home to the THIRD DEGREE (questions). *LOL*
remember this . . .
illicit - illegal
yep, that's how I remember this one too.
:)
Does anyone remember (sm)
Pat from Saturday Night Live? LOL
Yep - I sure do remember Pat from SNL.....nm
i remember
playing hopscotch on the sidewalk, jumprope and my pogo stick. In those days we were allowed to actually play outside without fear of being abducted !
I don't remember the man's name, but--sm
he and his wife did their Christmas party for many years. He was a family friend. He also did not need a "costume" as he had a long white beard etc. already. He had also given JonBenet a teddy bear that night at the party and when he was on Geraldo, he had the bear in his hands. Still just my opinion.
Yes, but I cannot remember the name of it--sm
but they do advertise occasionally for an MT to go to various in-house hospitals and type dictation. Might be good for someone with no responsibilities at home, but not me.
I don't remember much about it, other than
that I loved it. I don't think its very fancy, not a lot of bells and whistles, but I believe I used to use it at the Q, and I always made great line counts and was really fast on it. I would love to use it again! I'm sorry that I don't remember the details other than above.
