I use a nonalcohol screen cleaner for my LCD screen and it leaves a film all over it. Nasty and
it is made for LCD screens and a well known name. Any suggestions. I have to use clean water on a wipe to get the film off.
I have an Acer LCD screen for my computer and sometimes I see the screen getting darker and then
lighter. I hope this isnt going out already. It is fairly new.
Haha! Mine spells their names wrong - and they have very common names! (nm)

LCD Screen--sm
First, you are not supposed to use any type of cleaner except one designed specifically for it. no Windex or such. I use a *microfiber* cloth, damp. It works just fine.
Second, I have NEVER pulled out my eyebrows and used pencils or brushes to make them look fake. God gave me what I have, and that is all the *beauty* I need. Take it or leave it...don't like it? don't need you in my life. JMO. :^)
Where I got my screen name..sm
Well I have always had pretty much platinum blonde hair since a teenager. It isn't natural but I always dyed it very light blonde and still do. Hence the name blondie. When I put in a screen name somewhere years ago blondie was taken so it gave me blondie_1147 and I have used it since.
My screen name is a bow to the Beatles (sm)
George Harrison is my favorite all-time musician. I love him, love him, love him. He made the guitar sing. I love the Beatles as well.
I've never seen Paul in concert. He was never my favorite Beatle but wrote my favorite Beatles song (Lady Madonna), but I'd never pass up a chance to see him in concert. Are you going to see him?
I absolutely love the music around the time of Revolver and Rubber Soul.
Screen colors
Back in the day when having a color monitor was a big deal, white on blue seemed to be a standard default (thing WordPerfect for DOS) and worked well. I've also worked on black on blue, black or white on red (until my officemate and boss both asked me to change it because it disturbed them) and black on green. The really old monitors where it was green on black or amber on black worked well, too. Maybe what you really need, though, is to just make the letters bigger. In a Word-type program, making the screen letters (does not affect print output) 130% to 150% of the chosen font size really helps me.
Are you flashing your computer screen?

I had blue screen errors sm
Turns out my memory in my computer was corrupted, then I took it out and they sent new memory and turns out the motherboard went bad, so it had to be replaced. Might be your motherboard, hope its under warranty! But try removing the memory from under your computer.
Blue Screen for Vista
1 - First Check for the Vista updates.
2 - See your power settings, like auto turn off hard drives, monitor, hibernate, sleep etc.
3 - Run Spyware & anti-virus.
4 - There are few reports that Adobe Reader causes the Blue Screens in Vista, you should better uninstall it.
If not solved, then it's hardware issue, consult your vendor.
HTH,
Sara.
Mine is on the Yahoo toolbar at the top of the screen.
Do you see the Yahoo toolbar?
I just use the answer machine to screen calls - sm
if its a recorded call, it doesn't record. If it's a sales call, they rarely leave a message, and if they do, I erase it. If I need to be available to family members, I tell them to identify themselves in the message, and I'll pick up.
I use the answering machine to screen calls too--sm
if it is something important and they begin to leave a message, I will answer, otherwise I won't. Most of the time, they will not leave a message.
The do not call list is helpful, but not for everything. If you really want to take the time, you can answer the phone and before they start their pitch, tell them nicely that you wish to be removed from their call list. They are supposed to remove you. If they call back after that, you can report them to the do not call list and they will be fined for it. Also ask for the name of who you are speaking to. Sometimes two or three different people from the same place have your number and even though you ask to be removed from one person calling, the next may not know that and call you anyway. It took me almost a week of doing this on a daily basis and eventually the calls stopped. It takes time, but it works. oh, heavenly peace and quiet!
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.
I am using gray screen and black type. (nm)

I know one thing - a BLUE screen is NOT good
nm
I think you do have to go all out. A therapist and drug screen would be first priority nm

My mom was so addicted the QVC logo was burned into her TV screen
Made watching movies hard. :-)
I just installed a new ink cartridge in the HP and now everytime I turn it on the screen comes up
about printing the alignment page. I dont know how to get rid of this screen coming up all the time.
Two things. Every time I clean my LCD screen with cleaner for it it gets streaky. How do you get
rid of the streaks when you clean it. Also another issue, I got tired of always pulling out eyebrows and I am letting them grow in. Anymore do this and how bad does that look.
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.

Looking for ~K~ names...
 Hi everyone! I am looking for a name that begins with K...Do you any of you have the perfect ~K~ name for the perfect baby girl coming to our family? Thank you all for your suggestions!!!
K names
Kara, Karaleigh, Karissa, Kaela (derivative of Kayla), Korrie...all my granddaughters
Pet's names
Siberian Husky is Spunky; Blue heeler is Blue; Cats-Kitty, Sweetie, Ginger, Turtle, Killer, Twinkie; goats-LuLu, Bonnie, Clyde, Blackie. Rest of the goats have no names and neither do the 30-somwthing chickens! BTW, kids named several of these!
You do not have to name names, you
gave the state and all a person had to do was Google about student murdered in the state and the name is there.
well, I don't like it. Names are
hurtful and unnecessary. Does he not realize he is the measure for this child as he grows up? and that everything he will learn about being a good father himself he will have learned from his own. While he needs to mind, he does not need to be made inferior doing it.
Why would you consider the names
more different??? Everything has a name.
Names for a dog...sm
My husband and I are going to be getting a new puppy within the next couple of months. I don't know if it is going to be male or a female, but we were just having a discussion about what we should end up calling him/her. We are looking for somthing origional (no "spot" or "fido" or anything like that lol). Something funny maybe, but nothing we would be embarassed to call him/her in public.
What are some of your guys' favorite "pets" names?
Thanks!!!

Dog names
Well, we named Bumper said name because as a puppy, he was clumsy and bumped into everything.
We loved him so dearly that 20 months later, Maggie came along (her AKC papers read Bumper's Princess Magdeline). We actually named her after Maggie from The Simpsons, who is such a sweet and innocent child. Now, Hubby wanted to put "Bumper's Lady Margaret" on her AKC papers but I told him I have an aunt named Margaret that I don't like, so it became Bumper's Princess (that, she is) Magdeline. Plus, I liked the biblical reference. 
Toby, our rescue, was already named. I guess his original name was Oliver (how cute!!!!) but his first owners changed it to Toby. Then, when he was around 3, the mother got pregnant and decided she didn't have enough time for him. Don't get me started on folks like that. Dogs are a lifetime commitment (unless there are aggression issues, etc.).
Now, we have so many nicknames for each dog, it's not funny. If you want to hear them, I'll post them when I have time. Somehow, Bumper ended up being called Beef but I don't remember why. 
Also, we've tried to breed Bumper and Maggie (our rescue is a neut) with no success. If they ever do have puppies, I'm going to do a theme. Right now, I'm thinking of names from the Broadway play Cats. There are so many cute names in that play!

Names...sm
I know someone else who named their dog DOG and pronounced it the same way. I thought that was the coolest thing.
Right now, I have cats Lucky, Tripp (Named for Matthew McConaughey's character in Failure to Launch), Stella, and the newest edition is Smokey, but I call him Max. I like people names for animals, too, so you can see who I didn't name. Over the years, I've had Mickey, Max, Sam, Pete, Chloe, and Sneezer (all cats) and my dog was Casey, who passed last summer at just shy of 13.
TinyLyn's names
1. Tiny.

Our pastor gave our group the name The Lighthouse Gang, but I like you suggestions much better!!!
No names, none at all listed.
My brother and I were kids ourselves then but even his wife (stepmom to me) not listed.
Human names
I name all mine human names as they are a part of the family. Plus, when you meet someone by that name it is hilarious! I especially love old fashioned names for them. Right now I have a Hazel, Eliza, Eleanor and Stella that I named. Named one Nick as I found him at Christmas time for St. Nick.
OUr pets names..
At the moment we only have dogs, you wouldn't be interested in the coon dogs, dh named them Bob & John..lol..
we have an australian named Rex
dh also named this other dog Zip (because he runs fast)
We have had in the past, horses, other dogs, cats & a rabbit in the house
Rowdy, Dusty (was a dog & a pony), Sadie, Smokey, Bandit, Laddie, Freckles, Gus, Sheba, Spek, Skippy(rabbit), Bo, too many others to think...Fluffy, Josie (cats)
some others I like Amos for a dog, a friend had a blue heeler named amos
but I agree with the other post about seeing the animal FIRST.. then go from there, I have to look at a dog or any other animal before naming them..
Since so many of you posted about your pet names....sm
I figured I would post some of the ones that I remember from current/childhood pets.
DOGS: Cody, Ginger, Roxanne, Molly, Toby, Murphy, Patch, Zoe, Cassie, Tater, Reno, Gretchen, Sally, Baby, Heidi, Bear Dog.
HORSES: Missy, Rose, Bubba, Charlie, JJ, Shadow, Vet (like Corvette), Cherokee, Dusty, Stormy.
CAT: Spanky.
FISH: On Oscar named Skit (short for schizophrenia, he has multiple personalities, I swear it!).
We exchange names, so we don't have to give many, but
this year DH and I drew my parents. Since it is a couple's draw, it gives you the freedom to spend $100 on the couple or $50 for each. Well we got nice sheets in the color they wanted, from the store they wanted, got mom a pretty silky nightgown and robe she could pack easily, and got Dad the digital tire gauge with the big readout he wanted. So they each had one to open and then a couple gift. They seemed pleased, especially about the sheets.
Yikes!! She named names!!
