This is for a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves boxing and I hate it, so I would rather read in peace, Thanks for your help. Don't want "used." So I guess it's actually my gift to myself, I guess!

what some of the experts say to do - sm
Pay off the highest CC debt first, then take the extra money from that payment when it is paid in full and apply to the next highest one, and keep going in that manner, but always make the minimum payments on everything.  Most experts say do not by any means take out any type of LOC on your house no matter what because if something happened and you could not make that payment then where would you be?  It took time to get in debt and it will take time to get out.  Many experts also suggest getting a second job if that is what it takes to pay the debt down.  You can do it!!! 
Are you using headphones?
You can always plug those into your speaker port on the computer tower.
question for you computer experts
Is it possible to send a song via email?  I have a bunch of songs downloaded on my Windows Media.  I don't know how to transfer them into email or even if it's possible.   
So we should now ALSO be experts on every foreign culture?

thanks for reply, but no, not using headphones now.
in fact, i did test the speakers on my 'job' computer and they do work. but i cannot hear sound on a video my daughter sent on my personal machine...so am not sure if i have some settings messed up or if my sound card is gone...or if possibly it is just that video. but i thought i remembered before hearing sounds when you go in and out of e/mail and web pages etc...?? don't want to test for this other job and then find out i have no sound...
Types of headphones

What types of headphones are you all using? Has anyone tried the noise-cancelling headphones or the transcription gear insight headphones? If so, how do they rate? I transcribed for seven years and used the Lanier brand and liked them. I've been a respiratory therapist for the past 5 years and am now getting back into transcription, so I'm looking for decent pair of headphones to work from home. Thanks for the help.


anyone bought NC headphones off auction
sites and felt they got authentic products, in good working condition?  I'd really like good noise cancelling headphones without paying the top dollar. thanks.
Owned a coffee shop and told by experts not to sm
freeze or refrigerate beans as it takes moisture out and does something to the oils. Only buy what you need and only grind what you need right before you use it. I was surprised too!
I agree. Hand him the headphones to have a listen. And stress how

I could never put a price on that.

and the price is going up! nm

Not sure of price
I got mine years ago but my son just bought one and I think he might have spent around $100. Still worth the price since it wouldn't take Direct TV long to eat up $100.

Hedge funds setting the price of oil worries me a lot more.
Price tags
Did they have the items priced with tags? I hate it when I go to a sale and no prices on items. I have had a few sales and always price items. It helps, but there are still the hagglers which drives me nuts. If you can afford a quarter, you can probably afford fifty cents. LOL.
Don't know what price range
you're looking at, but my husband is a vet, not in private practice anymore, and people used to give him gift certificates to Omaha Steaks, which he loved, and sometimes gave them himself to clients.  I think sometimes they run specials on their website and could maybe get something for under 50 or 40.  Another thing he really liked when in private practice, but he was large animal kind of out in the boonies, was Schwann's (sp).  He said he used to keep a refrigerator with  food and treats from Schwann's in case he couldn't leave and his people had to stay over to help.
If the descrepancy in price was not there....
they would have to. So long as MTs anywhere are willing to work for 3 to 4 cpl, quality will always be sacrificed. There are US companies that will take the cheapest MTs they can get, without worrying about quality, and those MTs don't make the corrections either. As long as anyone can offer the service at such drastically reduced prices, end users will sacrifice quality for price when cost is to the driving factor.

Look at generic foods. Most people by foods based on taste first, price second. Generic foods have had to increase their taste (quality) to be able to compete. The savings they gain are in lack of advertising, which they pass on to the consumer, which is how they undercut prices on the shelf. In the MT world, the cost was low enough that the end consumer was willing to sacrifice quality. Now, the US provider is having to compete with that cost profile, ergo the downturn in our ability to make $$. They are willing to sacrifice sentence structure, etc, so long as certain items are met to take the lower cost. So long as the lower cost drives an industry where the end consumer is willing to sacrifice quality, cost will always be the driving factor. Therefore, if the offshore (and low-paying US)MTSOs would increase their price, quality would become the primary difference, and MOST substandard MTs in all countries would simply find nobody willing to use their services, which would only benefit the industry regardless of the individual's geographic location.
Umm... what's that got to do with the price of eggs?
That was a pretty off-subject, incoherent rant.
Have you seen the price of Spam? sm
I don't think it is economical, especially given what is in it. I also remember when you got ham in a funny shaped can and whole chickens too.

as the to reference to Spamolot, which is now a Broadway musical...

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day. Then something about on Tuedays I go to town in mummy's panties and a bra!

I love Monty Python.
Yep. OIl companies don't like the price low.

They cut production to get the prices up again. If we're not _____ by the oil nations, we're ____ by the American oil companies. G-R-E-E-D is the name of the game in the last few years.


Government tells us to cut our driving. Well, I hate to tell them but between a pickup and a car, we drove a total of  5,838 miles last year, and most of that mileage was 100 miles a day for DH to go to work. I get to the store once a month anymore, 2 mile round trip. The only thing I can cut down on is to walk to the store and back. Been there done that, but I'm no spring chicken and carrying 5 bags or more, well....you'd see a bag every 100 feet.


 


usually it's half price
But most places you sneak food rather than pay :)
Just cuz of the price doesn't always mean it is
the best product. I have watched many segments on talk shows that prove the same ingredients are in expensive products as well as inexpensive products, and some of these products don't work at all. I'm not saying there aren't some really good products out there, but Suave does just as good a job on my hair as anything else on the market.
I'll add mine so someone can get 3 for the price of 1! ...nm

Any VW owners know price of a radiator & fan? (sm)

My car broke down this afternoon!  I heard a loud noise like I had run over something, pulled over and saw all the coolant and water pouring from my radiator.  The fan broke and a blade went into the radiator.  I pulled inrto the nearest repair shop (lucky for me one was really close) and they gave me an estimate of $1200!!!!  My husband had it towed to a mechanic he uses, but I am curious since my car is a VW how much should it cost to get this fixed??


 


 


One can't put a price tag on what Christmas really means but...sm
if we didn't set limits/budgets in our household then we'd end up spending a cazillion bucks on the season. Having limits set helps keeps us on track of not getting carried away buying gifts yet lets us purchase gifts for people to Celebrate the season.... just as the wise men took gifts when Jesus was born to celebrate his birth. Setting limits gives everyone who is buying in our family line parameters for what kind of gifts they need to look at. Fortunately no one in our family line needs anything per se but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give them a gift. We do buy gifts in addition for foster kids and that comes from a different section of our family budget.
To try lamb without the high price,
you might buy the blade chops. The cuts of lamb I've had have been very rich and high in fat, and I highly recommend putting at least rosemary on it. It will smell like something a chef would make.
what price range...I see they are very expensive
I need a great shampooer.
What is the weather, What is the price, size, etc. sm
I am freezing up here. Would love to be able to buy and not rent.
I got you beat on the price you paid
I will not tell you what year I bought my home but it was 15,500. Yep, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and stayed for a long time. Sold about a year or so ago for 165,000. I had added on over the years and had 2 baths and 3 bedrooms when sold plus other updates. Pretty good profit, huh?
It is supposed to triple in price s/m
in Michigan.  Our local store informed us that as of April 1st, our $18 bag that we get will triple and is now taking orders for people to stock up (apparently you can freeze it).  I personally do not smoke, but my DH does.  He rolls as well and I'm just a person that stakes out the prices, LOL.  He said that he wants to preorder several bags and plans on slowly quitting.  He has tried the patches, gum, medication, etc, but I think in the long run, pricing will be what does it!  Yeah for me! 
Geez. I've never seen that price.

We have a produce store right down the street. They sell dairy, meats, breads, snacks, canned good, but the produce is what I go for.


Bananas are usually 3 lb. for $1, red peppers in the winter are 2 for $1, green 3 and sometimes 4 for $1, packaged radishes 3 bags for $1, lemons and limes 6 for $1, apples are $1 a basket, and globe tomatoes are 2 pints for $1. Fresh white mushrooms are 99 cents a pound and portabellos are $1.99 a pound (expensive in my eyes but fresh). cukes 4 for $1.  They have fresh zuchini, egglant, yellow squash, yellow and orange peppers, asparagus, fresh herbs, you name it. Oh, they did up the price on lettuce and celery. They used to be 2 for $1 and now they're $1 a piece. They sell potatoes loose or by the basket, usually no more than $1.50. A 50 pound bag of red or white potatoes last week was $11.95.


They also sell bread at 2 loaves for $1.75. It used to be 2 loaves for $1.25.


I love this store but if I don't get there as soon as they open, I can't get in. It gets packed and there's not a parking spot to be found. Gee, wonder why?


Are you kidding?? That's a GREAT price. I'm going to Target. (sm)
Oh, the hot tub scene was great!  I first thought it was blood, though, and I thought she got her period.  Maybe the color on my TV is off?
you need to buy the brush to put it on, total price for the first time is $28
you can apply it in two different ways, one way in which you let your moisturizer dry and the put it on and another is use a bit of moisturizer to get that "dewy" look. Also you should always start off with less (at least with our brand) because it is layerable for a fuller-coverage. Also there are 6 different shades to choose from so you should be able to find a perfect match.

NetMed has a price calculator on their website...15 cpl..
called apples to oranges. Shows how they calculate how they charge clients and how they pay per line.
Does anyone know the price of a stamp these days? I have lost track. I have some old ones,
want to mail some cards, but not sure if I can paste enough together to make enough postage? What is the price of one stamp now? Thanks
Try Florida. Lots of foreclosures there, and unfortunately the price of housing is way down.
you should be able to afford something there. Always warm.

My sister just moved there, on the gulf side.
Peronsally, I would rather pay full price than shop on Black Friday.
