To KS: I just read the entire page....sm

In Reply to: if she is offshore, the administrator - ks

Subject: To KS: I just read the entire page....sm

and if you read the entire page and look for her name - there are about a half dozen of her or his questions, if not more, where people help her or him and never once get a THANK YOU......


Do you really think I want to help her/him?  Nope.  I won't help the ungracious, the ones with lack of manners.  I won't waste my time.


And I know what you say about the admin/moderators here - they are THE BEST!!!  It's just that we probably are on here more often than they might be available to.


So, we become the eyes/ears, etc., like helpers


HAVE A GREAT weekend!!!

from top to bottom.  I was simply giving some help to the OP.  Whether she capitalized or not is her business.  I was just trying to point out in a quick instant that the "g" was silent in that word, hence her hearing "cushoined".  I am a very friendly and helpful person.  I was simply pointing that out to the poster above with the post beginning "you'd be wrong"!  So, I guess now I reek of sarcasm.  Again, I have broad shoulders...  no problem.  Glad you took the time to post.

overread vs over-read vs over read
Subject: overread vs over-read vs over read

OneLook has a disclaimer for the definition of the word overread that says: This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated. Some of the links listed on OneLook give the definition, some say the word does not exist, another gives the definition and then says (not used). There are references online for over-read, overread, and over read. I think over-read with a hyphen is a nice compromise. It's situations like this that make me dazed and confused!

Mine still reads as I quoted above, and I see no questions and answers, only examples. Still says follow-up is an acceptable alternative. Also, account preference trumps BOS, and I have accounts for which the expectation is follow-up.

We would have to obtain new x-rays and obtain from St. Vincent's Charity Hospital his s/l sticker page? to find out exactly what this is.

I found one reference that would support this, but I just wanted to check to see if anyone knew for sure before I sent the report.

stats page ?
Subject: stats page ?

Maybe I'm senile or something, but until the new PP began, I would look up stats as "current month," which worked fine.  Now when I try to enter the last 2-3 days, I always end up adjusting one of the dates.  Even more frustrating is selecting "16th to end of month," and it brings up November! 


I could swear that sometime in the past I figured this out.  It's petty but annoying.


Thanks!

Think facet joint injections are what the patient received. Are there any doctors on your list that may have a name that sounds like been atouche? Try looking at the anesthesiologists' names. This is a long shot, but I can't even begin to get your S/L. However, that's a lot of facet joint injections at one sitting.
