Well I do live in Florida so it's
like a vacation for them every day. We have annual passes to every theme park around here since we are a half hour away from them all including Disney, Universal, Sea World and Busch Gardens (1-1/2 hours). For those that want to know how we afford it (since I know it will be asked), Universal has a pass where you can pay monthly. Sea world and Busch Gardens had a 2 year special at Christmas last year that I bought as a Christmas gift. I pay $9 per person per month and free parking with the passes. The Disney passes we won. We go almost every weekend to one of them. In fact, grandma is checking into one of the Disney hotels for the weekend with them so they can go to the parks and then go back to the hotel to rest.
As for the vacation, it's a cruise. It's a big wedding for my closest friend (100+ family and friends are going) and I'm the maid of honor. We discussed it with the 3 oldest before we booked it. Last time we went on a "vacation" alone was when we moved my husband's grandfather down here 8 years ago. We had to go to Tennessee for 3 days, well actually 1 day, one day driving both ways.
LOL! I hope you live in Florida or
another area with a warm climate that doesn't experience SNOW! LOL!
Thanks for the laugh on an otherwise dull Saturday. 
I live in Florida and what works for me is
Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine and/or Biolage Defining Elixir. After I washing and towel drying, I apply about a quarter size amount and bye-bye frizzies. Believe me, in the summer here, it's Bride of Frankenstein time - major frizzies!! This really works for me. Also, I use Bio balance condition from Bath & Body Works after shampooing, and that seems to help a lot, too! Good luck.
I feel your pain. 
you must live in Florida or NY - malpractice is really high
I have heard of a couple of places asking you to pay for malpractice insurance, but I truly feel it is up to the company to do that. I, personally, wouldn't pay for it whatsoever!
Sounds like MS Florida! Practically have to tell them...
how many lines you actually worked and what you should be paid. I QUIT! If I have to be payroll person, I'll do it with an IC account. Sheesh!!!!
That sounds so nice. I'd love to live the simple life again. nm

dress
Wow, no disrespect at all, but you call that "rebelling"? You're very lucky! When I was a teenager in the 80s, I dressed in "punk" gear; however, I was a straight A student, didn't smoke or drink, and was basically a "good girl" - that was just my way of expressing myself. I personally see nothing wrong with letting teens dress to express themselves even if it is in a way we personally aren't crazy about (unless of course it is obscene or too sexy or involve lots of piercings). Wearing lots of black, dying and cutting hair in "alternative ways", things like that I believe are basically harmless ways of kids expressing themselves and, like your daughter basically pointed out, showing their individuality. You really need to look at what is going on INSIDE them instead of on the outside. If all is well on the inside, don't worry so much about the outside. They'll outgrow whatever fad or trend they are experimenting with. I did.
Dress him like a smurf
*********
I don't care how they dress.....sm
I know that customer service is sorely lacking, especially in bigger cities (forget what they wear) - where they act like they are doing YOU a favor instead of realizing that we, the customer, are THEIR BREAD AND BUTTER. Customer service has been sorely lacking in central through S. Florida for a long, long time......it's really sad.
There was a program on TV recently, think it was 20/20 (not sure), but it was about HOW AMERICA GOT SO RUDE....and 20 minutes of this show was spent on cell phone usage.....and I concur. I believe the cell phone, while necessary for some, is the bane of the world. People became incredibly self absorbed and don't you just LOVE the people waiting on you in any customer service who CHAT ON THEIR CELLPHONES while they are waiting on you? Or who do their jobs with their cellulars attached to their ears on personal phone calls while working (not emergent phone calls)? It's nauseating.......
I don't let my kids dress like that! My son will wear
anything I buy him, usually athletic attire, like Nike or Addidas T-shirs and carpenter jeans that fit!
My daughter likes jeans and t-shirts (kinda tom-boyish). So, I am lucky in that regard.
If they were difficult, they would never be allowed out unless they dressed properly.
I have a fit if my daughters shorts are too short. You know, how they roll them at the waist and the shorts go up their butts - well, that is a no-no to me. I don't care where we are in public, I pull them down to a normal length. Other than that, their dress code is fine.
Teenage dress problems...
Okay, I hate to ask this, but I need some unbiased opinions. My almost 18-year-old high school senior has of late been dressing in a lot of black. It's not weird stuff at all, other than a couple of camisoles that I'm not wild about, and she always wears a jacket with those. The thing is, she's happy, outgoing, going to school without trouble, doing her homework, happy around the family, planning her future, doing her own laundry, keeping her room clean, everything you could ask for. She calls us when she's out and keeps us posted where she's at, and works very part-time at a drug store. Her hair isn't dyed, she's not wearing weird make up, and isn't doing the weird jewely like dog collars or any of that.
But it bugs me! When I ask her she just says that she doesn't want to dress like the typical Abercrombie crowd. She does have some tan pants and a colorful sweater she wears here and there, but she really does love the black primarily. I'm a worry wart type and am just worried this will escalate into the look I spoke of above. She swears she's not interested in tattoos, piercings, or any of the rest of it. Should I just back off and leave her alone? Is this uncommon or just typical teenage "testing of the waters." She's never rebelled in any way before.
Teenager dress problems
My oldest graduated last year and started dressing in black (mostly black t-shirts and jeans) in his junior year. This drove my DH absolutely crazy and still does! We never had any trouble with him in school either; good grades, part-time job, never ran with the wrong crowd, always called to keep in touch when he was out, etc., just like your daughter. We let it go. He never wanted any tattoos, collars or piercings (although he did buy a bracelet with the metal points once. He never wore this to school however.) The biggest problem we ever had was the kind of music he liked to listen to. We did forbid him to buy certain types and bands after we listened to them, but he didn't argue. He is now in college and is doing great. His grades are high and he still checks in a few times a week just to "talk."
If I were you, I would let the clothing thing go, as long as it doesn't change into anything concerning. Most teens need to express themselves somewhat and this really seems pretty innocent. My DH and I are really pretty conservative. We found that it is best to pick you battles. There are certainly a lot more horrific problems out there to be concerned about than dressing in black. Your job is to just keep an eye on things and if you see any drastic changes in her (grades, personality, friends, etc), that is the time to step in. She seems like a well rounded young lady with a good head on her shoulders. You seem to have done an excellent job in raising her. She will soon be a legal adult and you now have to start trusting her judgement. I think she will be just fine! Good luck!
My 5-year-old daughter in a dress-up outfit.
dress in black and ugly jewely
Out of her dress today (instead of out of her dressing) but I caught it when proofing.
.
rich skanks dress better and have nicer cars and homes.
The only person that bothered me at my wedding was the one who wore a white dress. Black is fine.
why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion. lovely trees and lakes all around. maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall. but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
Live and let live. Don't force your lifestyle on me.

I used to live in MN now I live in MS and they were both cold last night!
Will take MS cold over MN cold any day, and I don't miss the snow. I miss the Mall of America, though!
I live in PA, can I help? If they are close to where I live, I would go check them out for ya!
Where in PA is this company?
Tag code?
Not sure what you mean by tag code.
Tax code
In Ohio, since there is no actual code that reflects transcription, we use 99999. Worked for me with no problems.
Used to code
Coding is a game where the rules constantly change and they won't tell you what they are - but will gladly penalize you and your employer because you "should have known" all the rules they won't tell you. They actually have codes that are "blacked out" - in other words, they know what the right code is that will cause them to pay for a procedure, but its a secret beknownst only to them. "They" being the federal government - they say "ignorance of the rules is no excuse" but won't tell the rules. You fly by the seat of your pants. You can attend seminars all year long but still not know if you're doing it right. You live in constant fear of a Medicare audit where they will find the wrong code and accuse you and your employer of fraud, fine/jail the both of you, and pull the doctor's license. In transcription - the blame for errors ultimately goes to the doctor. In coding - the blame gets spread around. If that sounds like fun, go ahead.
Where do you put the code?

code key
The code key that goes with the software is probably triggered to tell it that it's already been installed once. It's an anit-piracy device. What you may need to do is call the software support line for the software and explain the situation. They may be able to give you a new code key for the installation.
Code of Conduct
This thing is REALLY for the ones that got all the lawsuits started, now WE have to suffer. At least we get paid for probably the most boring hour on earth!!
Also, see what diagnosis code
they used to bill. Might have been billed as a screening and that's sometimes a no-no as far as getting things paid. Obviously, you can't lie, but see if she had any symptoms at all that might justify the test.
Code Runner
Anyone know what this is?
JUMP code
I need to insert a "code" so I can jump from one place to another in document. using WORD 2002 XP. I had a macro set up for this and lost it and have tried to make another one, but when I try to do any macro Microsoft Visual Basics pops up. It will not allow me to assign anything to the keyboard...ANYONE? TIA
RU typing in code??? nm
huh????
MT or Code question
I am an experienced MT/now quality auditor---I've taken coding courses and am considering going for certification but for now it's on the back burner. The experience I have as an MT is invaluable as a coder---if you don't know medical terminology, you will learn it in a legitimate coding course but it sure was a benefit to me in the coding course I took to have the MT background. Coding is harder to get into than transcribing (my experience anyway) because you need to apprentice (in order to get your certification) and then usually start at a entry level even not as a coder at a low rate of pay when you are first working as a coder. I know the earning potential is enormous as a coder though. This is not to say all coding jobs start out this way, just what I've found. I have a couple of friends from my class who are coding, but it is really hard and takes a lot of knowlege but I imagine would be rewarding once you get established.
You would use the code *11 for the headset

I used to code in house
I wasn't cut out to be a coder, but I did fine at the coding itself. I coded and billed radiology. I had a problem dealing with the people end of the business - dealing with patients who called screaming that their insurance didn't pay because I didn't do "my job" right; dealing with ordering physicians who gave routinely unpayable reasons for tests and thought "radiologists make enough as it is because they don't have to see the patient's personally". I couldn't handle being caught in the middle, and the stress wasn't worth it. I find transcribing much less stressful because I no longer hear screaming patients or have to beg for a payable ordering diagnosis.
ESL is not code for bigotry. It is used in my SM
community of SoFla. There are ESOL classes in school and English classes for ESL adults. These are listed as ESL! There are references to ESL all over and there is nothing bigotted about it. It is not a "code" for bigotry, at least in SoFla. I don't know about the rest of the US.
I have already stated, I don't mind ESL doctors. As someone else pointed out, they know they have an accent and tend to speak very clearly.
rewind code
Pulled out my old papers: Code 1349
Enter the recall code and enter a digit for 0-6 to set.

security code
How do you enter a security code if you don't know it?
security code for what??

security code
Try 7534.
Security code....
Mine is 7000. Don't know if they are all different or not.
Stop code
Thanks for the help
Each system has a different code
Each call-in system has a different code. My VDI is 36 to speed up and 34 to slow down, and 39 is louder. They can go into the system under keypad commands and tell you. Hope that helps.
what code do you put in each field so sm
you have something to jump to? I haven't ever set these up before.
MQ mandatory code of ethics course?
Did anyone else get an email from Howard about all MQ employees taking a mandatory ethics course? Hmm...I thot I already WAS ethical....
Code of Conduct Training Course
Has any other MQ MTs gotten an email to complete this training course? It says "MQ has always prided itselt in doing business ethically." Since when?? What a joke!!
Code Pink where I used to work
Code Pink was called whenever a patient went missing. Description of the patient was announced over the PA.
Was kind of interesting seeing everying peeking out of their offices looking for this person!
What do you want them to do, talk in secret code?
:+
If you want to see the jump code, turn on the
Choose "Tools" then "Options" and on the "View tab" under "Formatting marks" check the "all" box. You will then see all codes including hard returns, spaces, etc., but it will show you the jump codes then.
C-phone access code ?? sm - HELP!
I bought a C-phone from E-bay. When dialing a number, I get a message telling me I must use the "access code." I am sure this is something that was put in there by the previous owner(s). Can someone tell me how to "erase" this directive or clear the machine?
