Does anybody have any suggestions on a good scanner? I have an old Visioneer scanner and on several different occasions I have tried to enlarge a 4 x 6 picture. I do exactly what it says, but I can't get it to print out in the size I want. I don't use the scanner very often, but when I do I would like it to do what I want it to! Thanks.

Need to get a new scanner
I have an Epson 2580 that I've had for 3 or 4 years, and it has been pretty good but it is going downhill. It scans everything in much darker than it actually is, and if the shape is unusual (round, for example), it will cut off the edges. Sometimes I have to slip something in each side for it to pick up so it will scan the entire thing.
So - what kind of scanner do you have and would you recommend it?
TIA. 
scanner
I wrote before but did not come through. If you cannot get it at Staples or not one near you. try www.HSN.com and it is item 404-399. About $99 there also. It does work great. I did a few hundred slides myself.
my microwave has a bar code scanner and it knows
way, way too cool. you just run this little wand of a scanner along the bar code and it knows exactly how many minutes and seconds that particular product needs to be cooked. it also has a function where you can program in unknown, store-brand products to cook for the precise amount of time. made by westinghouse. feels like i should be on a space station with this wonder....
Type 1 requires insulin, type 2 does not - sm
that is the basic difference. Type 2 can be controlled by diet changes and/or medication (pills). My MIL has type 2 which runs in her family, no one is obese either. She controls it with diet and medication. Your dermatologist I think is wrong. Doesn't your husband know which type he has?
I would type
MEDICATIONS: Zocor and Ambien.
OR
MEDICATIONS
1. Zocor
2. Ambien
And
DIAGNOSES: Hypertension and chronic heart failure.
OR
DIAGNOSES
1. Hypertension.
2. Chronic heart failure.
Depending on which looked better in relation to the rest of the report. But that's just me. :-)
Not my type either..
I do like the scruffier male type image - kind of like that actor who plays "House"
Always. I can't type without it. nm

I had to type it in...
the address bar but could not find the Pantene link to click on.
It's 3 a.m. to type or not to type
Need some ideas about insomnia. Don't want to take those sleeping pills. I used to begin work at 3 a.m. and worked split. But, recently changed to day because I found if I got a good night's sleep my line count and disposition was better. Lucky to get day because it takes a lot of years usually to get it. But, now I find myself up at 3 anyway and for the last 2 hours have been surfing the net, mostly here and e bay. I know that if I typed some now I would be no good during the day and not get my usually good line count during the day that I usually get. BTW: Today is my day off, but I still plan to work and obviously hyper because I can't sleep now. Any suggestions on how to get off this overnight shift pattern? Been doing this insomnia overnight thing for about 2 years, and I like the quiet (3 kids and a husband) in the middle of the night, but worn out.
Please suggestions for an insomnia. And forget the warm milk, please YUK LOL. Thanks for your help. Maybe with your suggestions in a week or so I can get off this 3 a.m. pattern. TIA.
If you don't type why are you here?
Just leave!!!!!!
anybody out there ever type
What are the rules you apply to yourself for taking sedatives and drinking while at work? Does happy hour ever start early?
Wow, when I type
for a typing test (trying to get a job), I get so nervous I can barely type and practically pass out. Any tips on how NOT to do that.
I could never type 104 wpm anyway, but I type much worse when trying for a job. Gulp!
Well who is going to type MJ and FF?
That hospital was one of ours, so I told my DH that the docs will type it themselves as to not to get a leak out to the press. Sad times, sad times. I am in the Midwest now, not to worry about celebs. Pretty interesting day it was in the land of transcription. JMO. 
Ever have a day when you just cannot type
I had one of those days yesterday where I typed dyslexic all day and it's spilling over into today. Man, this sucks. Normally I never have more than one uncoordinated day every few months. Argh. It's frustrating!
We have to type it if dictated. I do this..
MEDICATIONS INCLUDE:
1.
2.
DIAGNOSES INCLUDE:

I didn't type this but...
During a report, this derm doctor who speaks in this odd monotone voice went on a diatribe (off the record) about a patient using something called "Boudreaux's Butt Paste." He had never heard of it, and neither had I until his report. The dude was HILARIOUS! He went off on a tangent, talking into the mic as if he were talking to another person, asking what it must be like for someone to go up to the pharmacy counter and ask for butt paste, and why on earth were they using butt paste on their face...and oh it went on for a good couple of minutes! I was actually laughing so hard I had tears down my face! Months later I found a tube of it in the baby section of Target and was tempted to mail him a small tube just for giggles, but then I thought maybe that would get me into trouble, so I didn't.
That was my most memorable and most fun report and I will never forget it. The dude should do stand up comedy, he was THAT funny!
Good times 
it was a *duh* type question. that's all. nm

But I am certainly horrified when I type
a report of an facial x-ray on a patient who has been punched in the face.
They do it on TV and the movies all the time, and it only results in bloody lip, lost tooth, bloody nose, or broken nose. The reality can be much worse and quite horrifying to think just a punch with a fist could do that kind of damage.
No. It's a personality type to try to fix
things. A fixer (a male trait that some women have) doesn't realize it when a person is just asking for sympathy, not actual help. They think that by coming up with a practical solution, in this case, an honest way for you to make some cash and everybody to enjoy a little pampering for a small price, she has helped solve your problem. She has no idea this would be offensive and hurtful to you. If you complain she will be shocked because she honestly thought you were asking for help.
I had to figure this out because I have this trait and it's really hard for me to tell if somebody wants help or just a pity party.
LOL!! You should try to learn to type with them ;-) nm

Why can't you type Restuvus here?
Obviously am I missing something?
LOL SO TRUE! That is so true. Especially if you type and type
and forget the catheter in that your boss sent you with the computer and company policies booklet. LOL.
What type of mixer do you have?
ty :)
Sorry! What type of machine do you have? :)
ty
smart type
I had someone tell me that Stedman's smart type was the way to go as far as spell checker and speed typing program. what do you use? and have you used it?
no clue what I was trying to type- sm
under influence of cold meds......think I was trying to type "I was born in 1965".
What type of shipping?
If the person ships it media mail for the book, it will take up to three weeks for you to receive it. Regardless, one week is not really long enough to file a complaint or start contacting the person. I have been doing business on ebay, buying and selling once in a while, and I know you cannot expect your items so soon...especially around Christmas.
if your ex is the type of person who would allow (sm)
an evil witch stepmother to deny his children things... and would not even bother to get his own child a Christmas present, why would you regret not staying married to him? If that is who he is, that is who he already was. If he cared about his children he would do better by them now. I think you did the right thing by divorcing him.
do you type with those nails??
your pup is freaking adorable i love all dogs :)
are you an MT? My nails are long but not that long! :)
What type of kitchen mop do you use?
I am really frustrated with my kitchen mop right now. I have a cermanic tile floor that has to be mopped at least once or twice a week (when I feel like it). I can't find a mop that I like and gets the floor clean. Just curious what type of floor you have and what kind of mop do you use?
type drunk?
No but it wouldn't be the first time someone was dictating drunk. Happens more often than anyone would like to admit.
How do you two type with nails?.....
I am always filing mine short so they don't get in the way.
It is so hard to type
when your Boxer constantly wants to "box" the foot pedal!!
What type of advice?
There are pros and cons to each. Upside of craigslist is that it's free, all the proceeds come to you, and usually people come and pick up the item(s). Downside is that you get your day interrupted with phone calls, strangers come to your house, and potential buyers limited to your geographical area.
Upside of ebay is that you post it and forget about it for a couple of days (assuming you have a clear, concise ad). Your item is for sale across the nation/world. On the downside, you pay ebay fees and paypal fees when you sell your item. You have to box it up and either take it to the post office or arrange shipping. You may be stuck selling something at a price you feel is less than it's worth. You also potentially have people not paying or backing out after winning and we you have to go through the whole procedure again.
I think it's a matter of weighing which factors are more important to you...convenience, larger potential audience, and whether the fees are worth it.
I used to type ER reports.
They were quite, um, interesting. Lots of strange occurrences that increased around the time of the full moon each month. I had one doctor trying to dictate a drunk/drugged patient with foreign object removal, but he couldn't stop giggling through the entire report. He even apologized for giggling.
what type of worker
You need either the converter box or a new TV that by law has to have digital in it. I have a new TV and I scan the digital part of my TV. I get maybe one station every few days, so obviously I have the capability otherwise I would not get any digital TV. It is the reception as I live in a rural area. I do have to get a roof top antenna. I was wondering what type of worker does that? When I look in the yellow pages, all it has is satellite and cable, nothing about antenna installers. I was wondering can just a handy man that I would hire install one or do I have to get an electric contractor to do it.
More suggestions
My daughter had a better suggestion. She said rent the movie Honey and there is another couple where the ballet dancers learn hip hop ( Sorry I can't remember the names) but my daughter said if she really wants to make the team she needs to be modern and hip hop is all the rage.
Good luck email if I can help at all.
Any suggestions for ....sm
an ingrown toenail? I think my 15-year-old son has one. I remember my grandmother saying to cut a V in the center of the top of the nail so that it would more or less have room to grow back out, but he keeps his nails so short, I can't do that at this point. I also remember having one when I was pregnant and going to the doctor and he didn't do anything for it.
Thanks again for all the suggestions
Again, thanks so much for all the suggestions, now at least have some idea of what to do.

In the past 6 months, my sister-in-law's dog has killed TWO of our cats.
She never married, doesn't have kids. Her dogs ARE her children and she brings them everywhere. They are not small dogs either. One is a chow and the other is a mutt.
She brings her dogs up to the in-laws every morning so my MIL can "babysit" while she goes to work. Her dogs run around, come into our yard, stalk our cats, and attack. Our dogs, if they are outside, will protect the cats but they aren't always outside.
She has been told that her dog has killed two of our cats and her only response is, OMG! I'm so sorry. That's it. Nothing else.
I love her to death but she is totally irresponsible when it comes to her dogs and even more lacking in compassion when told that her dogs killed two of her nieces cats. What the?
How would you handle this? I don't want to cause any kind of friction because we all live so close and it is my husband's only sister.
Just really tired of losing our kitties.
Thank you for the suggestions
If this rash ever recurs (God forbid) we will have to do some allergy testing. At the moment, I think there is a strong possibility that it is related to the trees we bought (see post below). Both of them were dripping from the holes in the bottom of the pot and I think there must have been some kind of fertilizer or something which got on his skin. Or possibly there was some kind of insect on the trees which got on him, because he has had new bumps appearing up to about three or four days ago. But he has several large areas on his chest which are just solid rash (he didn't even let me see that until last night because he knew I would freak out).
Tide detergent is a thought, too - he had been complaining of itching around his waist so he started washing all his underwear and T-shirts (undershirts) in Woolite. I use Tide Free but maybe I should change to something gentler.
Thanks again! We will definitely try your home allergy test if this doesn't clear up or if it recurs.
Suggestions for ham
I have a spiral sliced ham to bake and in the past, they always ended up kind of dry. Can someone tell me how to bake it and keep it moist, someone suggested pouring ginger ale on it while baking but looking for more suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I love the name Kierna.
Thank you for the suggestions. I think
I will try the vinegar and water and maybe a bit of baking soda and keep my fingers crossed. I have tried Febreez in the beginning but urine too strong and it didnt help at all even after enzyme cleaner. Thank you for all the suggestions. I do appreciate it sooooo much.
Thanks much for your suggestions. Appreciate it!

Thank you so much fo the suggestions sm
I am pretty sure that they were both definitely females. Males are darker in color and also have or will eventually have orange cheeks and after 3 years mine never did. There was no trauma to the bird. I had fed them (from the same bag of food for a week)just about 30 to 45 minutes earlier. They were doing fine. The other is still thriving today and is still eating the food. I have washed the cage already and cleaned everything. Poor Roxy, she has really put up with a lot in the last 18 hours. My hubby and son are going out to Harrisonburg this weekend and is going to check on another bird for me. I do like the idea of a mirror and can pick one up tonight. Again, thanks for the suggestions. Roxy and I both appreciate them.
I appreciate all your suggestions
Found out today my children's half-brother's b-day party is also on Saturday and so she will be going to that instead. She called her friend and told her she was sorry she won't be there because of her brother's b-day party. We are making plans to take her out for dinner (her choice) next Friday.
I do realize what some of you were saying regarding the different ways to get head lice and in all reality she could bring it to our home too. My daughter has very thick hair and had head lice a couple of years ago and it was a total nightmare!! I just attempt to prevent that happening again. I do feel for this girl. I really do. She is so sweet and has been such a good friend to my daughter and my daughter thinks a lot of her.
If she is invited to her house again, I do think I will take the opportunity to go visit with her mother. Maybe there is something I can do to help her. In all reality though, how do you hint around to someone about their poor hygiene and dirty house without being offensive? I'll be praying about this.
Thank you all for your suggestions! I very much appreciate it.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions
I used to use Crest - I don't know why I switched. 
And I tried Tom's years and years ago. I liked it but my husband didn't. We each have our own toothpaste now, so I might give it a try again.
Thanks!

Honestly, this is a man thing how they go off into dream land. You either have to deal with it or move on who does it less. I think most woman can agree men go off to dream land unless it is something they are interested in.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. SM
Acutally, I have known this person since I am two years old because out mothers worked together. She is a dear person, but I really don't see her much anymore, partly because of the smoking issue. She is totally addicted to tobacco, and her husband addicted to tobacco and alcohol. I don't like going to their house much because of it, and I told her so a few years ago. I go over rarely, stay for maybe 45 minutes and then go. She tries to be good about it, not smoking on most visits. However, I am so sensitive to the smoke and the house is so saturated with it that my eyes burn and my clothes and hair smell of it anyway. As in my previous note, her entire family has addiction problems with tobacco and alcohol. Her mother, rest her soul (one of the sweetest people on earth) used to smoke so heavily that I watched her putting one out and reaching for another at the same time.
Anyway, I'm taking the long road again. . . gotta get to the point. The party is at a fire hall and I am thinking if there was a no smoking rule this family would never have taken the place to begin with. Everyone but two people that I know of in that family smokes heavily. Her sister and husband do not, but all her nieces, nephews, siblings, their kids, etc. do. I don't want to sound high and mighty, but I resent being exposed to something that is so harmful and something I am so totally against. This is a tough one. I think all the suggestions were good. I have until Saturday to follow through. Thanks, everyone! 
Thank you all for your suggestions (sm)
I have looked these up and sent the info to them. Thank you!!
