why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Posted By: Yes, the air is better. on 2005-08-03
In Reply to: I have just one question. Does the air breathe better up there in Snobville? - passing by
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.

Check the Yellow Pages under "Dictation Services" or "Transcription Services." Some of them train in-house for several weeks and are willing to work with newbies.
Good luck!
Live in big city, 2+ million, with state pen and fed pen

Hospital billing? Clinic billing?
I live in the Kansas City area and this summer we have had a rash of pit bull attacks especially
in the Independence, MO area. The city governments have passed laws banning pit bulls and last week something like 100+ pitbulls were picked up by animal control or dropped off at the city pound and all were destroyed.
Personally, I think the owners of these animals should be held just as accountable as the dog. Well, I guess maybe putting the owner to sleep is a bit extreme.
I'm so sorry about your lab.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
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.
I don't know where you people live
but in my neck of the woods if you are only making $20,000 a year, you are well below proverty level, with all the people who have quit from my old office, that is a drop in the bucket from what they gained from those salaries alone!!!
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.
I think that other people who live in the same neighborhood
also bought their homes and paid good money for them. They have the right to look out their window that they OWN and not be forced to look across the street at Bozo's Big Top.
Some people live like this for years.....
The last time I got out of the hospital I couldn't work for almost two months, and that really set me back. I'm single so have only one income, and a house payment with a second mortgage. You can do a lot of things with beans, rice, potatoes. There are loads of dollar stores and outlet stores almost everywhere...... Big Lots, Grocery Outlet, Wonder Outlet, day-old section in the grocery store... even meat from the day before if you get there early enough. Sometimes right before bakeries close you can get bags or boxes or donuts and bread for almost nothing. As for the ice cream, can't help you on that one. Things are tough everywhere it seems.
And why do we think that we deserve to live better than other people?
This country is plagued with consumerism and lots of people don't seem to know when enough is enough. We have garages for our cars and other stuff when people in other parts of the world don't even have anything close to our garages to live in. No where have I read that only Americans are entitled to all these luxuries that we seem to think we can't live without. (Having food, clothing, shelter and clean drinking water is considered a luxury in many parts of the world, so please don't use that as a bully pulpit.)
I, too, am tired of this argument!
You can't judge people by what coast they live on....
I am originally from the East Coast and I am NOT a "nasty woman". The writer was cold hearted yes....but it doesn't give you the right to blame the East Coast. You could live anywhere...it depends how you were raised in the long run. I was taught to always treat others as I would expect to be treated...imagine that from an East Coast momma! Have a good day.
are there any websites that have live chat for MTs? that actually have people in them?
???
IT people aren't paid well where I live, and I'm not
willing to move to where the money is. The job market is saturated here with qualified IT people, so we fight tooth and nail for a $12/hr job requiring a college degree. I wouldn't say I'm unusually productive at MT. I use ShortHand as an Expander and stick to smaller MTSOs with decent accounts.
I am taking it that you live in my area..and people just don't get it here..
I know this is going to probably upset a lot of people on here, but at this point I have to take up for doxie. I believe she must live in the same area as me, and it is very, very rural..a place where you can barely make enough to survive.
Doxie, I have been an IC for many, many years and love working this way. If you would like to talk about it, please feel free to get in touch with me. I understand what it is like to have to live here and make a decent wage...and I can even tell you how to go about being an IC..which is what your original question was. :)
Well, then how come people could live comfortable on one income back then? huh?

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?
trailer parks have long been the but of jokes about the people who live in them.
You know that. If you choose to live in a trailer park that is certainly your right but sorry the stigma is there and I nor the OP created it. There was a running joke about Paula Jones (Clinton's "friend") being trailer park trash. Why? I don't know as I do not live in trailer park nor do I want to because I don't want the stigma. I was looking at property in North Carolina and there was no zoning regulation so the property was across the street from a trailer park which brought property values down. I am not making this up nor do I create it. It is what it is. Oh, BTW, there is a new show coming on MTV, a parody I think of the home improvement shows, where a gay biker type grit, tries to rehab trailer homes. Hilarious. Again, I didn't make it up nor stigmatize trailer parks. Someone took a concept of their idea of people and their trailer homes and ran with it. There is also the same idea in Blue Collar TV with Jeff Foxworthy on Comedy Channel.
Bottom line, there is a stigma to living in a trailer park and you have to learn to live with that. I personally can't live with the stigma and do not entertain the thought of moving to a trailer park. I think it would be hard on my kids to have that trailer park stigma on them as they enter school.
I think I misstated it - the at home people live within an hour of the hospital - sm
this is what the hospital is absolutely positively trying to avoid - having people all over the country doing the job. If the equipment breaks, if there are meetings, etc. - these cannot be done with transcriptionists all of the country.
I don't know! I've heard people live longer with a healthy sex life.

You must live where I live. I ran into the same sort of SM
situation when I was the president-elect of the local chapter and the VP-elect of the state chapter. I bailed out. There was no fighting it.

Each state has different laws. Where I live, if I have clients in the same state I live in, yes I ne
have clients from another state, no I do not need a license. Every state is different. I checked with my attorney and the State Business offices.
rude city people
I hear you....twice in the past couple of months I have caught two different SUVs driving through the brush our our very well posted private property. Apparently, they see our property as an off road play land. It certainly is frustrating. I hope they put some scratches in their pretty city SUVs. Wishing for a fence and electric gate or a moat and alligators.
I don't. It's not available where I live (sm
I go to my mom's and flip through and don't miss it at all. All of her stations and hardly anything on to watch.
OMG - how do you live without TV?....I'd die
without my sports! Football season is here, college all day Saturday, NFL all day Sunday, and Monday Night. As well as NHL is back. I would die without my TV.
Not to mention 24 hours on Monday night, Boston Legal on Tuesday night, ER on Thursday night, Law & Order and CSI other nights, as well as my HBO and Max for movies.
Don't know how you do it, but bless you!
Where do you live?
I'm tired of it, too. I would love to be able to go outside without getting heatstroke! My animals are in the house all the time, too. Too hot for them to be outside. 
Or go live over there with them

Maybe you could go live in NO

You only live once....
No, sorry for you! Wise up and have some fun - you live only once you know!

Where do you live?
In the Northeast?
I don't know where you live, but
in Houston, illegals are a real problem.
That is the problem though. They come in the food stamp office driving 30,000+ cars! I cannot get my daughter in headstart because we make too much money. We do not get reduced lunch, and I am fine with that. I would like to have her in the same school as my son though. I even offered to pay for it! Every parent during my son's orientation, everyone, who was sitting there getting their reduced lunch approved and were in there for the headstart had kids wearing Air Jordans and the like. My kids had Wal-Mart shoes on! I see people using food stamps who are wearing Hilfiger. It is crazy. They should be held accountable. If you get on assistance, you should have to, mandatory, complete job training. You should be required to prove you were looking for a job. If we have to, they should do home checks! They say you have to look for a job, fax resumes, but it is not consistently followed up on. They have job training, but it is not mandatory. We should hold them accountable. If we did, it would not be so easy to live off the system.
My mom didn't get any assistance either. The only thing she applied for was the counseling, which she could not get. That is it. She worked 2 jobs as long as I can remember. We didn't have anything either. I got teased many times for my clothes. Then she finally got us out of the bad neighborhood into a good school district and I was going to school with kids driving cars worth as much as my house. That is okay though, because it made me a better person. It made me respect the value of a dollar, work hard for what I want, etc. My mother taught me those things through the hardships she had to go through and me seeing her work so hard. When you have a welfare family, that same mentality is only passed on. Until we do something to change that and hold them accountable, you are just breeding more and more that will expect the same things.
I live.....
I live in NY state!
She was asking about a SO that does NOT live with you.
live and let live
People who judge others are insecure with themselves. So a person has a big house up on the hill. I bet they have a big morgage with the bank also. Probably two jobs, children they can't raise due to their addiction to needing more. Listen to Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman", she says it all!
Live and let live
Has anybody seen the bumper sticker F with me and you F with the whole trailer park?
To each their own.
Hey I was just trying to find some information on the antibiotic I am on because of the flu. Why in the world are people here judging how others live? Well for those who are being nasty, I just breathed on you! Once you get this you will have better things to do then to try and hurt another living being.
I don't know where you live, but
dental hygienists in metro areas make up to $300+ a day.
Your husband might want to take that into consideration.
My father is a dentist, and I have worked chairside myself.
It's an interesting and challenging career, and I don't rule out a return to it myself.
Not to tell you how to live, but the only person you need to depend on to succeed is yourself. Please don't let anyone (including your husband) hold you back. Good luck in your new career.
I live in PA......sm
All local wages are low. I tried the school district, $6.50/hr; the local banks, around $7.50 - $8.00; and even considered traveling 45 minutes to the nearest industrial area but it wasn't worth it for the $9.50 an hour they wanted to pay. The hospital in that area paid the whopping $8.50/hr for MTs.
I ended up lucking out and getting a job with the DoD, Army. Luckily, they have put us on the same pay scale as New York City, so I get paid well for the area. I don't know how families here do it, my salary alone is more than what most families with 2 people working locally make, and I have much better benefits. Got paid fairly well for the area when working MT from home, but DH is also self-employed and we needed the benefits desperately. My benefit package is probably worth 2/3 - 3/4 of my salary if I add it all up.
Do you still live in Ok?
;-)
Used to live in WA...
I can vouch for you, it's a real place! LOL I live in Arlington until moving to PA.
That's still not enough where I live
.
How big? Where do you live?
Did it look like a pet or a wild type? Could you see it that well?
I don't hate snakes in general, but wouldn't relish having a dangerous one in my house. Even a harmless one could be a nuisance. Look in the phone book for a wildlife "exterminator." Here in NC they have to trap them and remove them without killing them, even if they are a poisonous snake.
Good luck.
Yes, I Live in PA
So far, our little town got over 10" of rain last night and it is supposed to stop today. They expected another 3-5" before this is over. They evacuated parts of "my" town. At least 5 other towns have sectioins that have been evacuated. They closed the main roads into the 2 towns that we use to get around. Dive teams are being called in from the surrounding counties.
I live on a hill too, but without the main roads being opened, I can't get out. The only info I can get is from the scanners. The TV stations we get are too involved in their own local flooding problems.
Today is my husband's first doctor appointment after his open heart surgery 2 weeks ago. I don't think we're going to make it.
Gee, to think if I worked outside the home, I'd have a day off. LOL I'm looking on the bright side, though. NO TRAFFIC. 
i live in CA too . . .
I live in the Bay Area. Something small you can do is change out all your incandescent lightbulbs for fluroscent bulbs. Fluoresecents use a lot less energy and do not give off heat like regular incandescent bulbs do. I also keep my ceiling fan on where I work during the day. I would also check your temperature setting on your hot water heater. It may be too high and that can cause your water heater to continually kick on and off to maintain the temperature. I also keep all of my blinds shut during the day. Even though your electric bill is high, imagine if you had to drive to work every day. Imagine how much you might be spending in gas in comparison to your electricity bill. Also, I have read a suggestion of painting one's roof white as it reflects the light, thus making your home a bit cooler. Also, if you have a home, what about a house fan that circulates all the air in the house? Just suggestions.
Anywhere from 4-8 or more...but don't tell anybody...I live in...
Utah, and it's illegal here.
