You need to give up your psychic friends business and toss your magic 8 ball.

Trailer park dwelling
Fine if you want to live in a trailer park, but you should have to pay property taxes. If you want to be treated like everyone else, then pay taxes like everyone else. We had this issue in our community, and we did fight against having a trailer park, because that means the surrounding community has to subsidize the schooling, police, fire, garbage pickup, and all the other services for a trailer park or manufactured home community. I found all this out during months leading up to stopping a trailer park developer. I do believe trailer park dwellers should be treated like everyone else, which means they should have to pay property taxes like everyone else. Currently, in Michigan, they don't. That's not only wrong, it is preferential treatment for manufactured home communities. I'm sure you're as respectable as you say, so start paying your own way instead of making a community subsidize you!
oooh! I have one!! Cherry-Picker Park! (nm)

My friend and I are going to the amusement park first day of school..

Well, all that is true where I live too, but you STILL can't park at the mall

I park my six kids in front of the EE-lectronic babysitter
for 12 hours a day while I work. We got cable TV, videogames and DVDs up the old wazoo to keep them mesmerized. Every now and then, I throw a bag of chips and a six pack of soda in there for 'em to chow down on. Heck, I always know where they are. They aren't a bit of trouble for me. Iffen I keep the curtains closed, they fall asleep a lot, too. They do all the housework for me in the evening while I sit on the porch drinking a cold pack of Schmidt beers and smoking cigarettes with my latest boyfriend. Then we go to the bar while his four kids and my six kids watch movies until closing. We was thinking about renting a Winnebago to go camping, but the kids don't want to miss a single episode of their favorite shows.
Yep, 8 hrs in a hot kitchen on the burger broiler, at an amusement park.

We are talking about DisneyWorld Transcription, not theme park. Something else entirely.
:+
Also plan on getting a cooling unit to park laptop on
they run anywhere from $30 to $100 depending on features. Worth it definitely to run a laptop for 6 hours or more to keep the unit cool.
lucky to live in a trailer park where she has to defend her way of living?
I would pack up and move if I had to defend where I lived and I would not consider myself lucky.
hey, how come you don't live in a trailer park? if i'm a snob, there are millions of snobs w
live in a trailer park. why do you think people make fun of trailer parks on tv or called clinton's girlfried, paula jones, "trailer park trash" when trying to dismiss her sexual lawsuit against him. trailer park trash is not a joke/phrase others have to wonder about. they have an image and it's pretty much well earned.
Okay home is where the heart is but if you live in trailer park next door to red neck grits
with a mullet and bleached blond hair who drink beer all day and let their kids run wild, your little trailer park heart filled home becomes a bit of a headache because of the neighbors who may not have the same ideals or morals/ethics you do and they are SO CLOSE you can't shut them out of your world. Cheap housing brings in cheap people and in trailer parks you pretty much get what you get neighbor-wise. So my heart may be in my little trailer but my neighbors are part of my homelife.

ball
You'll think I'm crazy, but I use one of those big exercise balls. If you sit on it, you are forced into good posture and work the core muscles at the same time. Most comfortable chair I ever had.
Ball sm
My PT recommended it, she said one insurance company encourages it. I haven't tried it yet, but if I had the time, I would like to, it would take some time to get used to, trying to get over the fear of falling on it -- it will come sooner or later.
I'm sorry too, hair-ball

crystal ball

Ball question
Any way to save a ball with a puncture? I'm not cheap, well, yes I am, but I want to at least try to save it. I LUV MINE! Suggestions?
Play The Ball, Not The Man
I am respectfully handing this thread back to Dinosaur, when someone starts playing the man, not the ball, it's time to say cheers because it serves no purpose. Loo, you don't know the first thing about me nor did you bother to take the time to say one reasonable word - to those that did take a moment to at least respond meaningfully, thank you.

DID anyone ever sit on an exercise ball?
hello
DO any of you ever sit on an exercise ball?
Is that better?! !!
I was 'on the ball' for about
3 years and I think it actually helped my lower back. Then I busted my wing (in a non-ball-related accident). That was over 4 years ago, though. I am not looking forward to the breaking-in period all over again. Still, all it's going to cost me is a little lung power to blow the thing back up, so I believe I will give it another try. Maybe it's just like riding a bicycle?
And when you get bored, you can always bounce up and down on it. Plus, your antics amuse your family and friends.
Base for the ball chairs
I actually bought my exercise ball/chair through ebay and it came with a base which has a small back support as well as wheels. It works out great.
Do you use an exercise ball for a chair?
I know some transcriptionists do, and I think the wine and the ball would make a really fun combination to watch.
Homemade stilts. We had a ball with these. sm
The ice cream truck used to make multiple trips around the block just to watch us.
Balance Ball chair. Has anyone tried?
I found this in a catalogue: http://www.gaiam.com/retail/product/95-1004
I have a balance ball, and now and then I sit on it at my desk. It really does feel great, but the problem is keeping it steady. It's large and I have a hard time keeping myself at a comfy distance from the keyboard. I was thinking of getting this chair as a "supplemental" chair. I don't think it would work for 8 hours a day, but I think it would help alleviate some pressure and strain for periods during my work sessions.
And, this may be TMI - but this past summer I had a breast reduction. (Best thing I've ever done for myself!) The change in my body has definitely affected my posture and has alleviated pain in my back and shoulders. But I really need to strengthen my back and obliques more. I thought this chair might help with that.
Has anyone used this type of chair, or even used a balance ball at their desks? What do you think?
The ball is completely in your hands . .
I don't blame you at all for being frustrated. Someone with experience would have been the wiser choice. This girl is getting an incredible opportunity. All her work will have to be gone over. She will not be able to work on her own for quite some time. We have two new girls in our office who just finished their courses (not a home course for Pete's sake), but we knew what we were getting into. I don't think you need to go to the doctor. If you do not want to be her mentor it will not work out. Otherwise, give it your best. It's going to require a lot of patience on your part. Good luck
Actually, dodge ball is the one game I

Exercise Ball at Desk
I sat on my ball at the desk a lot during my third pregnancy. It really seemed to help with some of the back problems I was having.
My brother gave me the idea - apparently many people with office jobs in Europe sit on balls all day at their desks.
I am using a regular chair now because my ball sprung a leak, but I plan on replacing it very soon.
Thanks for the warning. I keep trying to use ball of foot, but often use big toe. NM

An exercise ball can be a great thing!
I know at least a few MTs who exercise on the ball for five minutes or so every hour or so. Your schedule sounds very tight, so I guess this would be better than nothing!
Never heard of such ball and chain inflexibility before.

Well, get started. YOU can start the ball rolling.

To your liking.. i used one about the size of a tennis ball and just sliced into
"rings."
I taped a little paper duck on my selectric ball and sm
had fun watching it go back and forth while I typed. I was so happy when Selectrics came out, as those huge carriages always knocked over my cup of tea and anything else that was in its path on my desk!
I guess I'm the odd ball; I LOVE going to home parties! sm
But on the other hand, I HATE shopping. I do the majority of my shopping from home parties -- Lia Sophia (sp?) jewelry, Tastefully Simple (a fave), Pampered Chef. I'm waiting to go to a Southern Living Home Show but haven't been invited to one yet.
Anyone ever type while sitting on stability/exercise ball? sm
Working on getting back in shape. My Theraband ball is about the same height as my work chair so thinking about using it part of the day to sit on while transcribing. Wondering if anyone has every done this and how it went. Even if only for part of a day or an hour, I think it would be a great way to gain core body strength. Anyone tried this or even thought about it.
The ball works for the butt, but not so well for the lower back.
I sat on an exercise ball for about 2-1/2 years (with a 3 month break in between after giving birth to my son). The first 1-1/2 years before I had my son were great, as my abs were in pretty good shape. After the delivery and after my abs were shot, I had a hard time keeping good enough posture of my back and ended up putting more strain on my lower back, causing injury. I just switched back to a regular chair, and my back feels great comparitively, but my butt hurts. I am going to try one of those donut things though.
If you do try the exercise ball, I noticed that if I kept moving on it, I typed faster and produced more (kept me going more), but be very careful to make sure you are keeping a good posture.
Good luck.

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
As for wrapping......that's another ball game (hope to do it all tonight, we'll see). - nm

If you have a Hancock Fabric store near you, they have a knit ball and video that teaches you how to
knit.
I love to quilt, if there is a quilting store near you that gives lessons, that would be great. Mine gives lessons where you can finish a lap quilt in a day.
Also ceramics is fun.
Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.

A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post.

Give them whatever you
