ER MT that photo rocks!!!
 That is one of the best photos out there...makes me laugh my patootie off everytime!
ER MT - that photo actually scared me
I was up late half awake and that photo popped up! Then I thought, you know that's a lot like me when I do ERs!!! Of course, for me it's because I'm not so smart yet and a bit frazzled. New specialty, just sometimes. Thanks for the giggle!
Photo sharing
I use smugmug. There is a small yearly fee around $40), but I love the way it makes my pictures look and friends and family can order prints directly from my site. Check my page out at sharonwhaley.smugmug.com
These photo's are a hoax
These photos are from a scene in the show "Lost". See link below.
What is sad is that some sicko would do something like this and post it on the internet.
Anyway...here is a link I found that it's a hoax...

Digital TV
This new switchover to digital has caused quite a bit of problems in my area. We are over 100 miles from the tv stations and if I am lucky, I get one station that pops on and off. I am looking to buy a big antenna for the roof, however, I am the only one here right now. No man to rely on to climb on the roof. I have been looking in the yellow pages and all I see is cable and satellite, which I refuse to use, I prefer FREE tv. Anyway, does anyone know what type of worker installs antennas? Electrical contractor or just a handyman? I appreciate any help as I dont know anything about antennas. Thank you!
Did you catch the photo on Fox of her taken out of her estate?
Gosh, she looks like you or me, did not seem like she had time to have her makeup done professionally before her next 15 minutes. Not hot.
There's no Thank You in faint print on photo

Great photo. Thanks for sharing it. It's in the

Seems it's time for that dreaded photo for my SM
driver's license. . . LOL! Those people have to have a camera that is rigged. Why do I always look like I should be holding the plate under my chin with a number on? The last time I went for a picture four years ago this woman who worked there approached me at the door, smiled and said
"Oh, you can fix that if you want." She pointed to a mirror. Sadly, I had no idea what she meant!! 
does anyone use a photo sharing site,
that they recommend? I used snapfish before, and and i see that Walgreens uses the same program -- but some have said there are better sites to share photos -- but i don't remember which ones they are (that don't require membership, etc). thanx.
Photo restoration - see message
If you have a scanner (if not they can be pretty cheap) you can scan in photos. I'll bet lots of people out there have photos they'd like reproduced for family members. Also I do photo restoration of old photographs (need a program like photoshop). You can make photo collages for people. My grandfather just passed away and he gave us tons of slides he took of us kids when we were little (I'm talking tons (like 1000 or more). I'm scanning them in (getting rid of the red, green, and dirt (they are over 50 years old) and making collages for all my siblings, but am sure with some "creative" advertising on your part you could do this for money.
My cat has mastered my photo-printer. -(sm)-
She loves when it whirrs and clicks as it's starting up. So one day when she walked on it and accidentally started it, she's spent lots of time trying to figure it out. She now has narrowed it down to the 'start' button.
If I WANTED her to start the printer, of course, she would have nothing to do with it. But the fact that I DON'T want her to start it, makes it all the more fun and interesting.
I think it can be both digital only or printed (sm)
if I understand it correctly. But you have to have a pretty good printer to print your page creation, I would say, or be able to send the image to a photo shop.
The CM Memory Manager program is actually pretty affordable so far as they go; I think it's 40 dollars. I used some of the free organizing softwares out there but none of them really quite worked with my brain right, if that makes sense, and the CM one did. But then again, I also use their photo organizing system as well, and it's sort of based on that. Plus I could do red eye fixes and light editing, which takes many of my pictures from just mediocre to good.
As an aside, the paper products and tools that CM has ARE pretty expensive compared to some other brands, but the quality is really high. You can go to the bank on the archival quality of their papers, unlike the stuff you find at the discount stores. (I was surprised to find that there's no law controlling the claim of 'acid free' or 'archival safe' it means nothing legally!) Then again, they're not the only good stuff out there, either, which is what some try to tell you. That was true a decade ago, perhaps, but not anymore. JMHO.
What about a digital frame?
DH and his sister are getting one for his parents, don't know what brand but think he ordered off newegg.com. Don't how much you're spending but I think there are some smaller ones you can get for under 100. Of course, if they're not savvy on electronics, like my mom, you might have to set it up and don't know what that involves since I've never seen one myself.
Digital Camera
I have a digital camera that is only about 2 years old. I used it one day and it was fine. My husband used it the next day and the display does not show the picture or any information. I have not taken it into a camera shop yet but plan to as soon as I can get there. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem before? Can it be fixed? Is it expensive? I hope I don't have to buy a new camera. It still works, I just cannot preview the pictures, take videos, see the battery life or how many pictures I have taken, change settings or anything because I can't see the display.
Second to this note, if I do have to get a new one I am looking for suggestions. I currently have a Sony, so I would like to use the same memory cards (very expensive and I have 3). BUT, I do not like the delay on my current camera and would like a digital without delay but had a hard time finding one when I bought this camera. Of course, small and compact size is also a feature that I like.
with a digital TV you need a VHF/UHF antenna.
I can also be a rabbit-ear antenna that you connect to your TV and put next to the digital TV. Not necessarily a roof-top antenna.
The closer to a window and the higher it is positioned, the better it will work.
Hats and a Smile: Photo inside
A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Conner, a 13-year-old boy from Indiana who had a BMT for a very rare disease called NEMO. Only a handful of NEMO boys have had BMTs with "mixed results" according to Conner's mom. Conner's transplant was in August and he's had a rough time with a few highs and lots of lows. I thought it would be neat if Conner could get a hat from every state to maybe boost his morale as well as cover his bald head since it's getting cold! So far four hats have been sent and a few more are pending. I was hoping you all could help out by either sending a hat, or even just passing the links along as the more this gets around, the more hats Conner will receive.
At least check out his web site that his mom and dad maintain updating his progress, posting slide shows, etc. Conner is one in a set of triplets and also has a 10-year-old sister. The photos tug at your heart and the music rips out what's left of it. It would be great if you signed the guest book. His mom says they read it together every day and it means a lot to the both of them. This family, and especially Conner, needs all the encouragement and support they can get.
Thanks everyone!

Empty photo album and a journal.
The easiet way for me to upload photo here is to use Photobucket.com s.
After you are done uploading your photo, your photo will have a DIRECT LINK in one of the boxes. Copy that link into the Post Image box on MTStars (under the Avatar/Profile ID box).
AFter you post the link, TA-DA, the photo will appear when you post! Very simple. I love Photobucket only to upload pics to the net.
RE: Digital Cameras - has anyone ever had a problem with your (sm)
digital camera and the LCD not displaying? Is there a fuse or something that possibly burns out??
The new digital ones give excellent
pictures and you probably won't have to get any of those extra pictures they used to have to do a lot. They can see better all the way out to the skin, so if you have a mole or something it won't cause confusion; they can see exactly what's going on. Therefore it's worth calling around and seeing if digital mammography is available at any centers in your area.
I believe it is going to end the cycle of mammo/US/bx my mom has had to go thru in the past that always turned out to be just scar tissue (after the first benign bx).
Regarding digital phone messages
Can anyone here tell me how I can download messages from my digital phone answering machine to a disk, computer, Zune MP3 player, or other separate device, or if this is even possible with a digital phone that did not come with that capability?
The phone is a Siemens Gigaset 4015 and is about 8 years old. One of the messages I am wanting to download is a precious message that my son left about 3 years ago and I would really like to be able to make sure I do not lose it.
TIA! 
Sony digital camera sm
Read the book, Googled, given Sony digital camera and a color printer for Christmas. Don't understand how I can print directly from the camera. Is there an extra cable needed? If this is a simple yes/no answer, I would appreciate it. Dumb and dumber when it comes to pictures, have a throwaway which is the only thing I ever use. Hate to ask the person who gave it to me, as he's too busy. Is there a cable that pops into the little hole in the camera so I can chose a pic and print it right from the camera? Excuse the ignorance. Thanks!
Bought digital TV still no luck
I bought a new TV that has digital in it and an antenna that was compatible with digital back in February but when the switch happened last week, I now get if I am lucky one channel every few days. I used to have an antenna on the roof but someone stole it and I never replaced it because the analog worked well out here but the digital does not.
If you have a digital TV, you need a VHF/UHF antenna, no converter box....sm
If you do not have a digital TV, you need a coverter box and a VHF/UHF antenna.
And in both cases you have to do a channel re-scan.
She had a digital TV, I made the same assumption - sm
when I first responded. So now she need to know what kind of antenna to get, and she wanted to know who could put it up. In that respect I would look in the Yellow pages under antenna or TV/satellite installation. That should put her on the right track.
Anyone with digital camers do you take the batteries out when not using or leave them in. nm
:
Does anyone that has a digital camera with only the LCD screen and not the viewer know where you can
find a shader to put over the LCD screen for washout.
Nikon Cool Pix (pics?) digital
Got a Nikon from my husband last Christmas and I love it. It is easy to work, is digital, software is simple, camera is small, but not too small. Pixels are terrific and the features are many. I would recommend it. It is on sale most of the time at Costco. The add on memory is fairly affordable too and I love to just keep the camera with us and add pictures until I have free time to upload them. Another thing I love about is that the battery stays charged for a long, long time. It takes beautiful pictures too!
Here is a funny pertaining to switching to digital TV in February
http://www.hulu.com/watch/36608/talkshow-with-spike-feresten-cable-psa#s-p1-st-i
Got new digital camera, resistent at first and now those darn batteries
am having loads of fun taking my furkid's pictures. The question I have is my batteries have already played out after a very short period of time. What do most of you do regarding keeping a supply of batteries around. Do you have ways to prolong the life, do you buy loads at a time, do you buy in bulk? Thanks.
I coach softball and my favorite gift was a sweatshift with photo of the team and all the kids signe
They signed it in some kind of indelible ink which is great because I actually wear it all the time. I also got a plaque that looks just like the shirt, which is nice to have because I'm sure I'll wear out the sweatshirt. I love them and feel proud when I wear the shirt. We were champs of the league and the district and for a couple months after the season we were all kind of local celebrities! I played at a high level myself traveling all over Italy and Japan, but coaching this group was the best experience of my athletic career.
Just bought a Kodak digital camera without optical viewer and find the LCD screen is very difficult
to see what you are taking in bright sunlight. I just read on the internet this happens with many cameras. Any suggestions for this. I dont want to spend tons of money on a camera because I dont use them that often but I am not very happy with this. I tried to get a camera with the optical viewer but almost none of them except the really high end had this. A lot of people complain about this LCD washout. Just wondered if there is any fix for this without getting another camera. This is a Kodak Easyshare. Great in cloudy weather or inside but the sun is another story. 
Anyone know where you can buy accessories for a Kodak digital such as Kodak batteries, SD card,
carrying case, etc. all at one place. Thanks
It has only been two weeks, it will get better.
Maybe do more fun things with your kids, as they're probably upset right now too. You are lucky to have them and four is a blessing. And for yourself, how about joining a bowling league, a gym, or taking a craft or cooking class etc....just something to occupy your time and meet other adults and new friends. You may even meet others in the same situation and that always helps. And always remember how much better your kids lives will be in the long run being out of that kind of situation. That may help you to not be tempted to take your husband back because you are lonely, because that does happen and it's understandable. It's a long time to be with someone. Best of luck to you.
Yes, used now for over 3 weeks and
think it smells good, other than that I have not seen any change at all in the hair situation, still falling out.....
Only used them for about 1-2 weeks when they - sm
were newborns. Personally I don't think they should be used for long at all or they become dependent on them (tops 2-3 months when newborn). I know someone who has a 3-y/o who walks about with one in his mouth 24/7; can't understand him at all even when he does take it out of his mouth to talk, major speech issues I think because of it. I feel bad for him, angry with her for being lazy and not trying to get him to transfer his need for a security object to something less destructive. One of mines has a doll and blanket that are her security things, and the other and old teething toy that is a cat from Right Start with all the rubber "feet" cut off, still sleeps with it at 8, both are well-behaved and mentally developed kids with no issues of any sort.
I used to get one every 2 weeks...
I just called a local service and had 2 sisters come every other Friday. We paid them $75 plus $10 tip. We just now cancelled the service and decided to put that money in our savings account and do the cleaning ourselves:-) We had to get the house totally cleaned up anyway the night before, which was pretty stressful. It was good, though, for the year we did it. They brought their own equipment and dusted and cleaned the whole house except for the basement. We'll use them for parties like the one we're having this month, but that's it. Just check your local paper and call a few. Ask questions to see if they fit your needs. You can have them come every day if you want, once a week, every 2 weeks, or once a month, whatever you need. Good luck!
I have someone come every two weeks
She does basic cleaning - dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms. I pay her $75 each time. She has basically a one-woman business that she is just getting started up. I found her listing in the local newspaper and lucked out, because she is a really super lady and I enjoy having her here to talk to, since my husband and I are "empty-nesters" and I am home alone working all day.
As far as what you should pay, I think the area where you live and the cost of living needs to be taken into consideration. I would expect to pay someone in New York City or Los Angeles more than I would pay someone in a small Midwest town, for example.
Just my two cents. 
I go to one every 3-4 weeks - sm
and when I was looking for one I asked a friend who went to one on a regular basis. As stated below there are the rip-off ones who do all this fancy garbage that does absolutely nothing. My friend said to go to a "straight" chiropractor (no clue what that means, guess it is how they practice, and one that graduated from Palmer school of Chiropracty (Sp?), pretty sure it was Palmer, if I am wrong I will post a correction. Mine is very reasonable, $45 a visit (my insurance covers it 100%). I too started out 2-3 x a week, then tapered down to 1 a week, then every 2 weeks, and now do every 3-4 weeks. I have not been for about 8 weeks now because I hurt my shoulder but it is all better now so I will probably start going again. It feels great to get the back cracked, gets so tight from sitting here all the time.
I think just a few weeks at most ... sm
I don't intend to keep the car for long. Last night we had decided until the end of the semester. After talking with it I am waffling about taking it at all. I am sure he will have it back by Thanksgiving. Thank you.
I had a bag of those a few weeks ago (sm)
My dogs finished them. So far so good. So then I bought the name brand ones this weekend at Sam's. $12.00. Evidently they are not the ones recalled, but I went and looked at the bag, and it says, "Made in China", so out they go. I can't believe I forgot to look - lately I have been looking at everything. Even if it's made in US, I'm usually afraid because of the wheat gluten, etc, that is imported. Good luck with your dog. Hope he is okay.
Just ate there 2 weeks ago - sm
WONDERFUL!!!!! This is the third Emeril's we have eaten at. We ate at one in New Orleans and one in Atlanta and now the one in Gulfport (used to live in Biloxi, so we are trying to support their rebounding economy). We always eat 4 courses and are never disappointed. ENJOY! Worth every penny!
3-1/2 weeks!
That sounds like a wonderful vacation. . I'm taking off a few days too and I'm really looking forward to it.. Hope you have a great time!
2 weeks
as it sounds like routine blood work. If no call by the 23rd I would call the office and leave a message and then you will probably hear back on that Monday.
2 weeks?
I just had bloodwork last Thursday and I got the results on Monday. I guess it just depends on the physician/lab. They used Quest Diagnostics.
I am 43....just, B-day was about 3 weeks ago- sm
My DH is 6.5 years older than I am and dying to retire. He keeps telling me at 55 he is done. He will then go out and get a PT job somewhere, probably at $7.50 an hour, just to stay active and bring in some money. I want him to keep working until he is 62 at least then one kid is done college anyway, and we will be able to sock away quite a bit in the 7 years that we have no mortgage and have for mad money, home improvements, save for kid's weddings (they are going to get 10K each and that will be it--can do what they wish with it, but that is the gift--not going to be one of those nutty parents who blow $25K on their kid's wedding--I did it for 5K, everything including honeymoon in 1996, so can they). But in 5 years the house will be paid off (2013), as well as our loan to pay off his debt. I may or may not be done with mine at that time. So there is a goal and it will be nice to be out of debt then, though our monthly expenses now, mortgage, food, utilities, college funds, etc. come to $3400 a month---luckily combined bring in about $4300 a month currently. I go for testing on the 15th for an administrative asst. position for a neighboring county sheriff. Want the job but on the other hand don't want to change my current schedule, etc. But it would be nice to have a nice steady paycheck coming in.
I go about every 3 weeks when I can - sm
I did not go for like six months and just went about 3 weeks ago. I just go when I have a little spare time anymore which is not too often. I went initially because of a car accident, very stiff neck and shoulders, went once a week, then every two weeks, now when I feel like it. Since I had not gone for a while my spine was sore for a day or two, but it does make me feel better as I get so stiff sitting here working 6-10 hours a day. Need to start exercising too, I am sure that will help too. As for dissing chiropractors there are good and bad, there are the ones who rape you with all the different machines they put you on (been to one of them, racked up $800 in 3 days), or those (as a friend swears to) are called "straight" chiropractors who attended Palmer Chiropractic school, who don't stick it to you. My visit is $45, lasts 10-15 mins, and my insurance pays for the it, no co-pay for some reason. She ends up with $36 in the end and I do not have to pay the difference. But just tell him you will be starting to come in once a month or so from now on, what is he going to do, tell you to go somewhere else as the is unacceptable to him?
He will be in about two weeks (sm)
I am going through with the separation and in fact have signed a six month lease and paid a deposit and first month's rent, so no turning back now! Thank you for your encouragement the other day and everyone else too. I do know that what he did was wrong, I was just having some grief over the "dream" I had coming to an end. I went to a board on cafemom and talked to some others who have been in abusive relationships. Apparently it is very normal for anyone divorcing to feel grief and doubt, but from what I hear, I will be feeling much happier once I am out and away from the relationship. Thanks for checking on me :)
