Batteries lasted me only about 2 weeks. Not worth it to me. nm
I did for a while and they paid on alternating weeks, which was nice. But wore me out so I

a doctor (neurologist). This is potentially extremely dangerous for drivers and others on the road. You can get a medication called "Provigil" that will keep you alert for the trip.
Nice While It Lasted
Well, I am new to MQ. With numbers like THAT, I guess I won't have a job unless I stop PROOFREADING my reports! I don't think I could get up to speed very quickly with macros, etc, since I am struggling to get in 6,000 per pay period, and did not even make THAT last pay period, only because there was no work on some days. I do have some phrases, etc., macroed, but with 97 doctors, I can see no way to get whole paragraphs or anything close to that in, at least not yet. I need more experience (time) to work up to 8,000 per pay period. I wonder if these requirements are going to be for new hires, or are they going to 'change' our contracts.
I wish. I have tried 4 babysitters this summer and each one lasted a DAY!
My kids are a little hyper LOL!!
Seems to be about right. Mine all lasted a few years, too. nm

I had them - GREAT! Wore them out in 3 years. nm

Lasted Advance MT article
I was wondering if any of you have read the latest article in Advance about MTs? It's called The MT Critic. Color me stupid but I did not know MTs had to go to medical school to do their jobs? How many of you know the average size of the left atrium of the heart? How many of you would contradict the doctor's vital signs because the patient had a fractured ankle and you just knew that because of his pain, those vitals could not possibly be correct? It is no wonder we are not attracting qualified people to our profession. What are your thoughts?
I once wore a hole in my spacebar...
I loved that keyboard. the letters were intact, just that figgind hole.
Friends, really miss Friends :-(
Joey just isn't the same for me 
Did this for 2 years. Wore me out! Finally, gave one up.
:{
Great while it lasted and I was home with my kids...but
now I'm back in school too. Going for a professional degree. I own a service, so a little bit different for me because I got to have the fun of building up a business, marketing, etc. Don't think I would have been happy with just the MT work and for sure, not with the money. But my daughter never had to go to daycare and I was home when my son came home from school. That's valuable! But the end is in sight...so I will be going to school while my business can still pay me a salary.
I wore one, but by all means DO WHAT YOU WANT! Your comfort is what matters.:-) nm

I wore a Spanish mantilla - it stayed out of the way and was still fun.
I tried it on my toe nails. It was easy to use and lasted over a week.

My first lappie was a Compaq and lasted 5 years....sm
and didn't have a problem with it until it died. I traveled all over the US with it and also had it fall several times. I've been on my 2nd Compaq now for almost 2 years. That's all I'll buy!
I wore mine on a 900 mile drive
to florida. Didn't leak a bit.
Have used stickers, lasted awhile but not that long.
I have a Microsoft ergonomical keyboard (curved) that I have been using about three years now, and the letters are still good. However, you might want to try one of those pens that can be used to write on CDs and other metallic materials. Cheaper than buying another keyboard. As stated, the stickers worked but not for very long as I remember.
I actually wore a hole in some of my keyboard letters... nm

oh yeah, at that wedding, the bridesmaids wore black, too sm
with dark red rose boquets. It really was beautiful, at night, with candle light...ooh, I wanna get married again...
remember when nurses wore the little hats...hahaha
nm
I only lasted an hour at the mall today before getting so annoyed I had to leave.
All the teeny boppers are slowly cruising around with their friends but not buying anything. People are shoving and cutting in line. I just like to get in, get my stuff, and get out.
The only person that bothered me at my wedding was the one who wore a white dress. Black is fine.
Another day of not smoking
YES....
I am on day 9 of no smoking. I am
Birthday is next month and I have a goal to make it to my birthday and then will extend my goal from there. So far, so good. Hopefully continues.
Congratulations to you.
I would like some of what you both are smoking, please.

I would try smoking

Smoking...
That is good info. Thank you so much ... am disappointed because he does not really want to quit ... I will never understand how someone can claim to know how awful the health-related issues are to smoking, and yet somehow "justify" in their heads that the enjoyment they receive from smoking totally overrides any potential "risk" they may have "down the road" from their smoking ... for me, it just does not compute. Oh well. I will never, ever give up on giving him encouragement and pointing out all his precious cigarettes deleterious effects. Wouldn't be able to go to sleep at night, if I didn't. Thanks again.
Not offended...You just keep smoking that

Quitting Smoking
I have been smoke-free for 14 years and actually didn't want to quit but had to have major surgery and couldn't smoke in the hospital so I really had to quit before. I got the Habitrol (3 stage) patches which were Rx then and one other "trick". A stranger said what helped her was to chew on those Twizzlers black licorice sticks. She said that the residue left a residue not unlike the tar from cigarettes. I smoked 3 packs per day and even got up at night and smoked for over 20 years and no one was more surprised then me that I actually quit. My husband still smokes but not around me or in the house or my car.
I know it's tough. Good luck to you!
quit smoking tip
peppermints helped me a great deal...especially candy canes because I could hold them as a substitution....went back to the garbage during a nasy viscious divorce & now can't afford nor want to smoke anymore so I'll be joining you! don't want to look or smell like this anymore
Quitting Smoking...sm
Hello, I'm an exsmoker who smoked for 25+ years, and I've been a nonsmoker now for 12 years. The only way I could do it was cold turkey, but my hint was I kept an unopened pack of cigs in my purse, and when the cravings came (which they did, something awful for about 3-5 days), I would look at that pack and tell myself that I got this far (8 hours, or 12 hours, or 24 hours) without opening it, and I could go on. I threw the pack out after about 2 weeks, and never looked back. The smell now actually makes me sick. I must admit that I still have a craving after a meal once in a blue moon, but it soon passes. Please hang in there. You CAN do this!!! Good luck. I wish losing weight was even half as easy as quitting smoking was...and that wasn't easy at all. Take care of yourself.
do you not know the dangers of smoking?????
Just kidding, i too am a smoker. Hate it soooo much but at the same time i look so forward to that smoke on the drive home from class. I have smoked in my house, I try not to because of the smell, but if i'm stressed emotionally, i turned to my good friend 'the pack'...my new method of quitting this time...POPCORN!!! I will buy bags of it and when I get the urge to smoke, i will chow down. It could work because its hand to mouth motion, a bit self destructive and i also look forward to eating it. good luck to me!!! Target has the best popcorn too, very salty.
Well, I quit smoking but now I'm fat
It has been about two months since my last cig. But dang, I am porky now. At 47, this is NOT a good time to put on extra weight. I know i should go for walks, eat carrots and drink water. I guess the motivation isn't there.
It is hard to believe I gained 20 lb in two months but my oh my I have. You should see my face! Chipmunk cheeks. and my clothes, even the baggy ones, don't fit any longer. I bought a new outfit last month and it doesn't fit any more.
HELP!!!
I know what you mean, I quit smoking
joined a fitness center and was very diligent about going every day. But, the scale has went up anyway. I am pretty much at a loss as to what to do. I do not want to start smoking again, I feel much better since I quit.
Congratulations to you.
Can anyone explain smoking hx to me?
I just typed this:
"The patient has an approximate two to three history of smoking two to three cigars per week."
I also have never understood that, for example, "25 pack year history".
Anyone want to enlighten me??
Another fella smoking on O2.
 Duhhhhhhh! Nearly burned off his face. Ouch! Think he'll do it again? Ummm...yep!
I quit smoking
No point to this message; just thought of it and am congratulating myself.
Smoking lines there! Wow!! I can't even
s
Yes I have used it to quit smoking!! sm
Five months now without a cigarette; however, the nausea was very bad for me. I only took the Chantix for 1 month and had to stop. I couldn't take the nausea any longer. I even tried Zantac with it and still nauseous most of the time.
Anyhow, I quit June 12, 2007 and still without a cigarette. It really does work. The nausea and weird dreams were my side effects. My sleep pattern was broken up for the month with the dreams. I smoked 1-1/2 packs a day for 20 years, started when I was 16. Now with the help of Chantix am smoke free.
I tried all the other forms such as the patch, gum, etc and nothing really worked like this did. I have no withdrawal symptoms or mood changes whatsoever. I did seem to laugh a lot and sometimes inappropriately while on Chantix; however, since I stopped taking it, I am back to normal.
Good luck with whatever you decide. I am now worried about gaining more weight and taking the weight off that I gained over the past few months since I quit. Being nauseous, I found myself eating pretzels all the time to try and settle my stomach, very fattening.
The only evil I find about smoking is. . .
How darn hard it is to quit. I have tried everything. Patches, gum, Wellbutrin, Zyban, cold turkey, etc.
Don't buy them by the pack anymore. We (my husband and I) roll our own. Buy a can of tobacco and have a little machine and thought that would deter us, but noooooooooo. $8 a week compared to over $8 a DAY.
We do keep trying so there is hope that someday, hopefully within the next 6 months, we can say see ya! Yeah right.
risks uf using smoking marijuana
besides the social implications there are many researched medical reasons not to. Just a few:
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/evidence99/marijuana/Health_1.html thats just one web site. There are plenty more
Furthermore, smoking pot dries up you mucous membranes promoting cavities and tooth decay, does cause respiratory ailments and I sure as hell don't want to meet someone driving whose judgement has been impaired with pot any more than I want to meet someone whose judgement has been impaired by alcohol. Please substantiate your claim that it is LESS harmful than alcohol
It won't take cancer to quit smoking. Try
ASTHMA, a common problem for smokers. When you can't breathe when there is a strange odor around such as perfume, you won't get near a cigarette because if you do, you won't be able to breathe. You will cough, and choke and gasp for air and feel air hunger when you sit down. It is not a fun way to live, and I absolutely LOVED my cigarettes, a real hard core addict to nicotine.
Husband and I both quit smoking on same day
We tried separately in the past alone and he quit for 6 months and then went back to smoking. I even smoked with the patch on and almost had a heart attack, not a good thing at all. We both want to quit and we hope that we will be able to do this. I think I have some patches left in a drawer around the house and they worked for my husband. I have been smoking for 40 years and he the same amount of time. I will go to the Stop Smoking Center. We figure we could save ourselves 70.00 a week or more but not smoking and that is one of the reasons to stop. Thanks for your encouraging words. You and your husband should be proud, my doctor told me it is like kicking a cocaine habit, which is sooo addictive and I agree. I smoke most believe it or not at my desk. My husband is going to repaint my office and put up wallpaper, one wall is yellow from the smoke, grosses me out and my kids. Thanks again.
Well, I quit smoking last year when I became pregnant
and it was relatively easy for me to quit because I had a good reason. I know what you mean about taking smoke breaks. What I do is after about an hour, I give a friend a call and talk for about 5 minutes. It is nice to catch up and also takes your mind off the cigarette.
Whatever happened to all of y'all who were quitting smoking?
How's that going?
Me, too. I quit smoking in October 2005.
Time to lose weight, although we had tons of food out yesterday.
he has been smoking on and off 1 pack of cigarettes for 5 years.
should be good for him.
Has anyone here (or anyone you know) had luck with Wellbutrin for smoking cessation? nm

Chantix - Anyone use it to quit smoking? I am most concerned sm
about the nausea. I have been hearing it is pretty bad for at least 1/3 of the people who have used it. I have a generally touchy stomach as it is. Please post your comments here or by email
I have a feeling that will be the exact same solution for me to quit smoking! I'm really sorry fo
what you're going through with this, and do admire your funny response and post today. At least you will get to enjoy the benefits of your uncluttered house, which is the same state mine is in and drives me crazy, but just have to look the other way most of the time.
