They had me use refresh drops
I think that they had me use something like Refresh drops every days prior to putting in my lenses -- gas perms for 20 years now - plain hard ones prior for 20 years. Also, I was told to use plain toothpaste when the build up gets bad -- not the gel kind but plain old white toothpaste to clean them when the build up gets bad. But even with plain water flush your eyes out each morning prior to putting in your lenses to get all the "gunk" out so it won't stick onto the lenses - helps a lot. At least for me.
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic
I use the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 v1.0. It is awesome!
Yep. Think someone said there's a patch for this at the Microsoft site. Haven't done it yet. n

I got my husband the new Microsoft Zune for X-mas and he loves it
He had an iPod just like mine, but he has been wanting the Zune. I got it for him and he loves it. He even took it to work with him LOL
I like an inside water fountain or a water wall. Saw it on
s
I bought mine a new laptop and a Microsoft Zune MP3/video player
I know he'll love them. He's a huge gadget guy.
Do you have really hard water? Maybe leaving water spots from lime, calcium, etc.? Or are the spots

keyboard
Has anyone tried the split keyboard? If so, are they easy to get use to? My favorite one is my Microsoft, with the built in arm rest, but they do not make them anymore and my backspace is broke!!!
keyboard dyslexia?
This is driving me insane!! For the past month or so, I've been having a horrible time with transposing my letters when I type them out so many of my words are jumbled. It's kind of annoying!! I go through this from time to time and then suddenly, I'm back to typing normal. Does this ever happen to you?
should also add I use an ergo keyboard (nm)

First of all, get a black keyboard. (sm)
But I have alcohol wipes I use about once a week over the keyboard. It helps a lot. Or even HandiWipes help. But to get down in the valleys I do resort to a Q-Tip and alcohol on occasion.
I have an HP keyboard that I've had since
October of 2007. Not a single key is even slightly worn (and yes I do use it daily). Are you buying the white/ecru keyboards? Mine's black and I think the black ones keep the letters on longer.
Keyboard question
I had to buy a new Microsoft keyboard today because I dumped a whole cup of tea on mine. I use a Microsoft Ergonomic 4000. I always wear the letters off the keys. Does anybody have any tricks to keep this from happening? They wear off within a couple of weeks, drives me nuts.
Keyboard cover?
Does anybody use a cover on their keyboard (while working). I dumped tea all over mine the other day, and had to buy a new one. I always wear the letters off the keys within weeks, and thought maybe a cover would help. TIA
I loooove my split keyboard!!!!!!
okay it is official. I looooooooooove my split keyboard!!!!!! Now that I am used to the difference it is so much easier to type and it doesn't hurt my wrists! I just wanted to exclaim to the world that I totally love my keyboard!!! (i know i'm a dork)
samantha. mouse or keyboard?

wireless mouse and keyboard sm
Does anyone have any problems with theirs? When we press on an icon or something in the browser it seems to take a long time. I find the computer freezes up at time. I told my husband maybe is is the wireless equipment. He tells me know. I only have had it since Xmas.
TIA
Your keyboard sounds like mine.

on your keyboard, make sure SCROLL LOCK
Medical transcriptionist melts keyboard with fingertips
Ryan sez, "We have a medical Transcriptionist on staff who has been using the same keyboard for the last 8.5 years. My co-worker replaced it yesterday, and when he first showed it to me I thought someone had taken a blowtorch to it! The most frequently used keys have been completely worn through, exposing the mechanism beneath. Zoom in and check out the indentation on the Backspace key! The keyboard still works fine, so there's something to be said for durability. BTW, it's a NMB Technologies model RT2358TW."
Some people are hard on keyboards -- I tend the blow the contacts on the left side of the board really fast, knocking out the Ctrl, Alt and left side of the spacebar. Charlie Stross's keyboards lose their lettering in mere months, and my pal Seth Schoen types like a machinegun, but I've never noticed any particular wear on his keyboards.
why is the space bar on the keyboard so long as opposed to other keys? nm

When my arms no longer reached the keyboard, I was suspicious.
I then lapsed into a coma and didn't wake up until there was a strange person with spiked orange hair in my kitchen, demanding the keys to my car. It was either a burglar or my child - I don't know. They've never come back with the car, but that's not proof of anything so I haven't filed a police report yet.
I broke my keyboard tray off when I was startled and jumped. Terrible startle reflex. NM

I LOVE love love shallots! I use them in everything that calls for an onion and/or garlic. Mmmmmm. n

I think he'll make it til the end! At least I hope so!
Some say it's the water...
and they are cooked in salted water - some are not. They have a crusty-hard outside and a moist middle. And they're huge. They really are the best! :)
Ice Water, sm
Soak apples in ice water and a little salt. Kabobs would be a great idea but not sure about the wooden skewers.
no where to put the water?
ever consider the toilet? Lot's of other nasty stuff goes down ther:)
Yes, usually when I get water in my ear, that happens.
I put a few drops of alcohol in my ear and it goes away.
Water is not the only --sm
source of fluoride though. It is in our toothpastes, mouthwashes, and probably a number of other items you would never suspect. You have to be proactive and check labels on EVERY thing to avoid it. This forced consumption of fluoride brings to mind the long suppressed addictiveness of nicotine in tobacco and the health implications that caused. I feel sometimes that having fluoride forced upon the unwitting public could possibly be in the same category. Flouride is in all actuality a rat poison, used many years ago for that reason only. It hardens bones (osteoporosis??) but I am doubtful about any other health *benefits* of it. I think there are many more risks involved in its use than the unwitting public will ever be made aware of and a lot of information about it being suppressed as well.
Some ants come in for water as much
or more than food. I have heard they don't like to walk thru talcum powder. You can put a circle of it around pet water bowls if that is the draw for them. See if you can find where they are coming in, both the inside entry point and the outside. Plug holes with silicone caulk or expanding caulk like STUFF. A natural product is diamateous earth (not the kind used for pools, though). Use only outside, or it may be okay in crawlspace, but not sure. You don't want to breathe it, so wear a mask while pouring. Once it is down it harmless to people and pets, but when hard-bodied insects walk through it, the texture tears their exoskeletons up and kills them. But it is washed away by rain, so very expensive. Depends on how rainy your climate is as to whether it will work for you.
If they get caught, off goes their water!
Have my shutters open this morning and I see my next door neighbor starting to water her lawn. We are in a drought really bad here and the water is being rationed, so to speak. No one waters on Sunday (and Sunday as I write) and we have an odd, even day system when we do water through the week. Atlanta, which is close by, has gone to a 1 day a week watering system. Some places in my state have turned off water to people caught abusing this. I remember in the 80s we had such a drought our showers were limited to 5 minutes. I would hope it does not get that bad again.
They use saline, right? Not just water.
Saline sprays don't bother me at all.
hot water cornbread
WARNING: I do everything by eye....a pinch here, a smidgeon there...I just throw it all in a bowl and guesstimate.
Ya make 'em kinda like pancakes in a cast iron skillet on the stove and it doesn't heat the house up as much as baking.
Boil at least a cup of water in the microwave
Put about 1 to 2 cups of self-rising cornmeal in a bowl. Add 1 beaten egg and mix thoroughly. Then you add the boiling water in bits, slowly mixing it until the right consistency....not thin like pancakes.... kinda like what you would make for regular cornbread almost.
Heat skillet with about 1/8 to 1/4 inch oil heated med to med/hi.... then use a good sized serving spoon to dollop the mixture into the pan. Watch carefully and try not to burn
DO NOT, under any circumstances use jiffy mix.
After 25 years I've finally gotten it nearly right (darn Yankee that I am). Happy vows tomorrow!
Water 'em! (sm)
Hose them down outside, put them in the shower, or leave them out in the rain.
bluing and well water
I am on well water too. Have not used it most of my life but only the past 5 years so maybe that is part of my problem too! I don't know much about how it changes things. We do have a reverse osmosis system which is supposed to help remove rust and sulfur. Maybe I need the bluing too. More info on this would be appreciated! :) I also have allergies to most detergents so a brand name would be great!
thanks for the info. we have well water too. sm
we have a water softener, and filters. not sure if maybe that is helping my stuff dinge out. thanks for the info on the bluing!
Hot tap water - which is really very warm - sm
If it's too hot for your hands, it's too hot for the yeast.
I know I don't drink enough water...sm
I also have interstitial cystitis (chronic bladder inflammation) so I should definitely be drinking more water than I do. When I drink any carbonated drink, my bladder hurts the next day. I had a cystoscopy in September to diagnose this, and my bladder was all red and inflamed with little red pinpoint bleeding in it. When I do pee tests I have chronic white blood cells from the inflammation. So yes I would say I need to drink lots of water.
I go along with the filtered water--sm
It makes a HUGE difference in the way your coffee tastes. I turned my mother onto filtered water and she says she will never do it any other way. She even makes her icecubes with filtered water. Anyway, I am picky about my coffee as well and I buy Farmer Brothers. Around here, I can only buy it on line, as none of the stores carry it. I buy five one pound cans at a time, which is a little cheaper, with a flat rate shipping fee. It is supposed to be the kind of coffee that most restaurants use, which is why you can't get it in the stores. I do not like strong coffee. I cannot handle the caffeine and I do not like decaffeinated. Farmer Brothers has varying degrees of strength, as well as flavored coffees. I will also go along with a clean coffee maker, and don't forget to clean the pot, as well!
sometimes too much caffeine and not enough water..sm
I sometimes get these symptoms when I am actually sort of dehydrated from drinking too much caffeine containing products or alcohol and not enough water. I will then gulp lots of water and in a couple of days, I am fine again. I am very lax on drinking water, so it happens more often than I would like. Just a suggestion, though, not a "diagnosis."
Bottled Water
DH always buys Aquafina bottled water. I'm not crazy about it, because it seems to have a taste or after taste that I don't like.
What bottled waters do you like and is one better or healthier than another?
bottled water
Have been exposed to many brands and would highly recommend Ozarka if you can find it in your market. Its source is Piney Woods Springs in Wood County, Texas. In my opinion, easily the best tasting.
poster below me is correct - water comes from
So if we leave a water bowl outside for them, will they
op
With artificial soap and water??

WATER spray bottle!
They hate it. Combine it with a fairly loud NO. They CAN be trained. Nail tips are probably humane alternative to the declawing thing.
Drink plenty of water...
I try to start my day with a pitcher of ice water on desk, like a 2-liter bottle and try to drink that during my shift, which really helps. Hubby and I went on program with Dr. and took Adipex and B12/B complex and followed the attached diet. We were on 1500 cal/day and he lost 65 and I lost 35. We quit taking the adipex but stayed with the diet. I lost 30 on this same diet several years ago too. It is well rounded. Somewhere I have an 1800 cal if you are interested. You don't count calories, it is already figured out for you. Daily meal plan gives you a break down of what to eat in a day (1 bread, 1 fruit, etc)and then the individual breakdown (breads, meat, etc.) lets you know what these include. (i.e. 1 bread - 1 slice of bread, 1 fruit 1 small apple or 1/2 cup canned fruit). No expense of buying diet products and you can eat regular food with your family. Funny. We used to eat 2 center cut chops a piece and with this we would split 1! There are free foods too so you could pile up a big salad for lunch and save other stuff for dinner. We did not quit drinking sodas, just switched to diet cokes 0 calories as opposed to 140 or so per drink. Good luck.

I have dulited bleach with water and used that before
and it did a good job without harming my skin. This was in very small areas. My hair is also short and I color my hair myself, so I often have little spots here and there.
Then I would suggest for clean water and
beaches you take them to Cancun. Florida has some bad water and beaches a lot of times. The water in Cancun crystal clear and the sand, no matter how hot it is, never burns your feet.
