And I hate shoes. I guess I need to be more dedicated. Just working on my hot spots every day would do me a world of good.

Sink holes
Thank you for your response. My daughter is concerned cause not only because of the hole my grandson fell in, but also a large area in front of her detached garage has sunk a good bit. She is afraid if someone comes out they may deem the property unstable and have to leave. What do people do, particularly if they carry a mortgage. Homeowners insurance usually covers the structure and not the ground it sits on.
sink holes
We had a cistern open up in our backyard from alot of rain one year. It was an old well that had been covered up. Had no idea it was there
oops. s/b sink OR swim not of

My sink is the only thing I've sm
been able to keep clean. I just can't get back on track. I do MT out of the house 35 hours and do MT part time from home. I really have trouble with piles of papers. I was just reading Flylady's answer to that, keep no paper, so I will have to work on that.
Just wondering how many many MTs follow flylady. Thanks for answering.
By the way, flybabies are followers of flylady.net a really good system to get organized (when you apply it Ü). Sm is see message and NM is no message so you don't waste time opening an empty post.
Black vanity sink
What is it made of? Marble, granite, synthetic? I would go to MarthaStewartLiving.com to look for an answer.
It has been 10 years since my mom's sink holes
she had to sell it to a horse breeder/stable instead of dividing it into tracks and selling individual home sites due to the sink holes. Fortunately they were several acres away from any structures and have not recurred in the last 10 years. One parcel has recently been sold near the first one that opened. That neighbor happens to be on the county commission and resides over the real estate zonings and gave permission for the new owner to be a home she felt would "blend" with her homes and golf course. I would certainly have someone look into it as there you don't know what is happening underground.
Anyone ever have problems with sink holes in your yard?
My grandson was just walking across the yard and his foot gave way and went down to his waist. There are other areas, some large where the ground appears to have sunk somewhat. They live in southeast georgia. If you have experienced this, please share.
clean
I already thought of that, but I hear they aren't worth crap.
sometimes have to clean
you know you can take the ball out and clean it? If not, turn mouse over and twist plate direction of arrows.
have you tried the can of air to clean it?
this is a post I just read:
My Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard is quite nice. The keys are all attached to the front of the keyboard. Just unscrew the back and the front lifts up with all the keys. On the bottom part of the keyboard remains the rubber/silicon and circuit board, which can be sprayed off. I then submerge the top keyboard in scalding hot soapy water to clean it.
Nothing to do with MT but does anyone have any ideas on how to clean - sm
a linoleum bathroom floor? All my bathroom throw rugs (4-large bathroom) have left yellow stains under where each lies. I presume the rubber somehow reacted with the floor. This has happened in both my bathrooms but much worse it the one which has a window. Short of replacing the floor does anyone have any ideas? TIA.
Let's clean up our board........sm
While it is certainly everyone's right to "agree to disagree", the mud slinging that unfortunately takes place here is usually not started by anyone who truly wants to get a point across. I myself have gotten into some very heated discussions over issues related to our profession. But I've never stooped so low as to attack anyone personally.. and the minute the discussion starts getting ugly, I'm outta there! There are people on these boards with no other purpose than to see where they can start trouble. They're just looking for attention and the only way to get rid of them is to totally ignore them.
Help! How do I clean out my cache?
I have been unable to access, since last night, a website (Weightwatchers.com) and/or its forums that I go to regularly. I have friends that are able to access it so I am wondering what I might need to do to "clean things out" on my computer in order to get back to the web site.
TIA.
Any way to clean up a BAD dss file??
Doctor dictated despite the fact that he had a tremendously BAD phone connection. I can only hear a word every few sentences, the rest is loud humming and static. I have a KOSS equalizer that didn't help at all. Anyone know of a miracle program or something that might salvage this recording, as he doesn't want to re-dictate it? THanks! 
Does anyone pay someone to clean their house? sm
If so how often do they clean for you and how much do you pay them? What size home do you have? i.e. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen?
Always a dishcloth and use a clean
one every time. Right now we are without a dishwasher. I use a dishcloth for dishes and a dishcloth to clean countertops/table - or will sometimes use a paper towel. I also use bleach or an antibacterial cleaner about once a week.
Never, ever use a sponge. If you use a scrub brush need to at least dip in bleach every day that you use it.
I can't remember where it was, but in the last couple of months I saw a show like 60 minutes and it was talking about how dirty a kitchen is, especially in comparison to your bathroom, and it was enough to make you sick, in more ways than one.
I need help to keep my house clean. What should I pay?
Am thinking 10.00/hr cash of course. Is that too low? My house just needs maintenance (floors, dusting, countertops).
I third the Mr. Clean Eraser. nm

clean environment
Everyone is making great points and I appreciate your comments, truly! But, paying a few more thousand dollars for a hybrid car isn't really a big deal to me, as I know I am doing my part to help reduce the dependency on foreign oil and also these hybrids reportedly are so much better for the environment as far as pollution. That is really the reason why I'm leaning towards it, as well as the increased miles per gallon. Thanks for your opinions!
You have to clean 3 rollers...sm
or you can do what I did, I waited until the Logitech mouse (originally was about $70) came down in price to about $20 or $24 and bought one. You never have to clean them inside and you don't need a mousepad.
I used to clean houses when I sm
needed extra money. We got behind in bills a couple of times due to illnesses, surgeries, etc. I put an ad in the paper and picked up several jobs that way.
How do you all clean your keyboards? SM
I eat and drink at my desk, as I'm sure most of us do. And of course, crumbs fall, drinks drip, and there's the dust. I was just wondering what everybody else uses to clean their keyboards. I have tried canned air to blow out the crumbs and then use alcohol on the surface and stick Q-Tips down in all the crevices and between the keys. Just wondered if there was some miracle solution that would make it easier and less time consuming?
Put them on probation and tell them to clean up their act or they
are gone. Too many MTs are looking for work right now to put up with people who don't/won't do their job.
How do I clean my keyboard?
My keyboard is getting nasty down under the keys. The vacuum used to do the trick, but now some dust, crumbs, and Lord knows what else remains in the bottom of the tray. If I unscrew the screws on the bottom, will that allow me to lift the top off?
I figured I would ask, because I often do things like that only to end up with the wrong part coming off or nothing at all happens. (I hate that.) 
Any tips appreciated!
I just clean mine with...
a good upside-down shake, a clean paintbrush for between the keys, and a soft cloth with a little gentle cleaner of water with a splash of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide for the top.
Oh, heck, YES!!!
It's always feast or famine around here. One week, I'll be sitting on my thumbs stressing about bills and not enough work. The next week, everyone dumps so much on me that I'm working double shifts. Why can't it be regular instead of sporadic? Then again, I do rather like those unexpected days off and not being chained to a desk during certain hours like with the nationals. I work when I want to as long as I meet TAT.
Do you really want to work 10-12 hours a day? And you know that some days it will be 6 hours and some days 18 hours because it is truly feast or famine. I took on a third IC job recently because things were so slow for weeks with my other two. The other two must have heard me accept the third job because I got dumped on. I wound up wigging out and quitting the third position. I feel really bad about leaving her in the lurch, but holy cow! A human body can only take so much of this.
I don't see the little sleep deprived icon with cramped up fingers and pedal foot. Owie. I'm just not going to gripe about not getting much sleep or time off. Work is good. Being unemployed is bad.
Do the local docs pay more than the national? And their workload is a lot easier, too. You get the same dictators every day saying the same things over and over again so you can use your word expander to the max. Make a list of pros and cons and see which is better.
How the heck did you get that?
Interpretation of my post: I like ESLs not for any other reason other than I LIKE ESLs. Whatever impact that has on those who can't or won't do them is not MY problem.
Oh so thankful to have a job? Sounds to me like you are the one who should be thankful to have a job considering you have a hang-up about doing a majority of what our job description is.
What the heck is CMT?

No way in heck!
Everytime I scroll through the channels and I even see that show for 1 second, I feel like getting a hammer and hitting the wall with it repeatedly. Those women are gross!
What the heck are you looking for?
Most women I know that think men are scum continue to end up with the same type.
It's usually a self-esteem issue on the woman's part which harbors lack of trust and very high expectations concerning the opposite sex.
You need to lower your expectations and give to others as much as you would expect to be given to you.
Only then will you realize that not "all" men are scum, just possibly the ones that you choose to hook up with.
Heck no!
 I mean, like really, why in the world should you let your clients know that you're going to be out of town for a couple of weeks??!!
Why, let em' wonder where you are and why their work's not being done. I can't think of a better way to do business, get lots of referrals, and build a solid bond of trust!
Heck no, 41's not too old
Honey, 41 is NOT OLD...OK! Go for it...you'll do GREAT!!! Best of luck to ya...and I envy you...I wanna do that too, so bad. I might...when I get 41!!! 
Me too, then got the heck out of there. (sm)
I thougth for sure I was going to have my computer light up, start erasing data, or something.
What in the heck is EHR and what does this mean
to us as transcriptionists? I have worked in VR and know about this but am told here lately still a demand for MTs as healthcare is steadily moving towards EHR. Where exactly does this leave MTs - out of a job or like VR, some sort of editing? TIA
Why the heck don’t you all just
quit, do something different, anything? I have so many years in this and enjoy my work. If you don’t like the salary/work, etc. you can always do something else, can't you?? This job paid for homes, vehicles, travel, raising kids, the bills- if you don’t make enough money and just want to stay at home, how about a second or third transcription job to go along with the one you have already. Quityourbellyaching.
I say, to heck with that!
There is no way I would work for a company that does that. You should not, either. Work for a company that respects its MTs. There are such around. Look at the company board for ideas. Plese do not accept this!!
Well, heck, do tell about it! :-)
I'm in the market, I think. I'm starting from scratch and I want to get what's right the first time, if possible. 
Well heck. -sm
The link didn't work like I thought it would. If you put cardiology in the specialty field it will bring up a list of cardio sample reports. Sorry about that.
Heck no.
Too much? Not nearly enough, if you ask me... but I guess the question is really, can you actually GET that kind of $$ or more....
And that wasn't of any help at all. Sorry. Guess you have to decide whether you are willing to work for that, if your costs will be covered, and whether it's worth it to you.
And then they'll have clean up poopoo

Do you have a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser???
I don't know if it will work, because thank God neither one of mine have ever done that before, but it does clean a lot of stuff, from walls, to white sneaker, the bathtub.
Do the first account first, clean it out, then move on
x
I do that, too. I don't like to shower first to power clean
the house because then you get all sweaty with cleaning chemicals all over.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - use dry nm

I'm with you. I hate to clean and really don't have time (sm)
I work 7 days a week and used to have a gal come in twice a week until the place got back to normal....then once every 2 weeks after that. Had to pay $10/hour, so had to work twice as hard to pay her.
Finally had to let her go in September last year and the place hasn't been the same since. Trying to get my savings back up so I can hire somebody again. I have no closets but 1 in the whole house and no place to hang coats, etc.
I cleaned really good last week and was surprised it only took me 3 hours, but that's 3 hours I could be making money to save up to hire somebody. Everyone in this area are private people. There are no services like Merry Maids.
I second the Mr. Clean eraser motion
My son recently got black permanent marker on my wooden kitchen table . . . amazingly, the magic eraser rubbed it right off. I have used them for textured surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom before also and they "work like magic".
what do you use to clean computer screen?
can i use lens cleaner like for my eyeglasses? alcohol? thanks.
Wiping the computer clean
Hi, I have a computer that is about 5-6 years old, and I no longer use it. I want to clean all my data off it so that if it ends up in someone else's hands none of my confidential MT work is on it. When I bought the computer, my hard drive had two partitions; one for the restore to factory settings and one for my use. I took my computer with me to an MT company for training, and they wiped out my partition that had my restore information on it. I hadn't made a copy on a disk, so I no longer have that as an option. Can I simply reformat my hard drive to wipe everything clean? I don't really care if that wipes out the OS too.
Yes, you can format it and wipe it clean. nm

where the heck do you go to even log in to your e-mail? sm
I can't even find the flippin place to log into my e-mail! Why did they change it? It was so much easier before! Guess that's just too much to ask, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
