is when there is a group e-mail about proofing work and the specific e-mail about proofing had 2 spelling errors....and the e-mail is a total of 3-4 sentences.  

I dunooooooooo.

I do believe we had the same PS and WFC... when you talk about dropped letters LOL.

I don't care if they aren't typists..they certainly get paid more than me and should be way more professional. I certainly wouldn't get a job as anything if I sent a resume like that. They are supposed to set an example.. they are our *bosses*.

Scribbles - We so agree on the not making the child submissive or using violent ways to get a child to behave - I'm one of the posters in that thread though with a different name (I'm the one with the 20 years of therapy experience prior to having children)....yet we so do not agree on Chavez.  It's very interesting to me that we are on the same page for one issue and on opposite pages for the other issue.

Ok, we can agree to disagree

Have a GREAT evening!! 

Was she related to Mrs. Smallwood that I took typing from in 1977? The old bitty would tap you on the feet with a yardstick if you were caught with your ankles crossed and rap the table if you were caught looking at the keys.

She'd say (very loudly) CLASS! Look straight ahead!, sit up straight and uncross those ankles!!! Then she'd get the timer ready for a timed typing and shout READY? BEGIN!! It still sends chills up my spine, but I left high school with 75 wpm and a fear of yardsticks. :)

I have very few letters left on my keyboard. That's what the 2 bumps are for. 

And the numbers to be included within your text are on the top row of your keyboard(without looking). The numeric keybad is for balancing your checkbook.

I didn't transcribe this one, but a doc I worked for was telling us about this man in the ER with a gerbil (s/p?).... you know the little furry animal...stuck in his rectum.  Apparently the gerbil was put in his rectum using a paper towel cardboard tube-thingy and got stuck behind a gas bubble in his intestines!!!!

I don't know what ever happened to that man, but I hope he went for some serious counseling after that...

When I'm typing along with my Instant Text along the bottom I'll occasionally (too much for my tastes) lose letters, especially when I type a period...I'll lose the last 2 or 3 characters of the previous word.  It's really bizarre.  I have no other problems with IT when typing in Word all by itself or any other program, so I assume it's just a problem when I'm using the ExText with IT.

I like going back into the old documents.  It takes a bit sometimes to load different things but it's good overall.

Its so weird, this happens to me too..

I wonder why though?

I won't give out my phone number, but yet I invited an internet friend of mine from Australia to come and stay with me for a couple of weeks while she was in the states. 

I'm happy to report that her visit was absolutely wonderful and she did not turn out to be a serial killer, as my daughter had portended :)

My son has chronic eczema. He had so many food allergies when he was small. We were told he would "grow out of them" and, for the most part, he did. His major allergy was, and probably still is CORN.

Now everything you buy has corn syrup or cornstartch or corn something in it. Even the dyes in Kool Aid have a scientific number, which is actually a corn biproduct of some sort.

As you can see, I have done my homework about corn. My first time shopping for him "corn free" a decade ago took me almost 3 hours.

Unfortunately, cold weather aggravates his eczema and we live in the Northeast.  He has  been to the best dermatologist  in the state and has 4 meds that keep it under control. However, he's 15 and he goes and eats pizza with his friends (no pizza sauce ever made without corn syrup - you have to make your own out of tomatoes). McDonalds, etc, everything is loaded with it.  I only found 1 local breadmaker that actually has white bread without corn syrup in it.

I clicked on the New MT board, and the Google ad (right above the messages) that popped up was "DEATH PENALTY"  ..... NOW I'm scared

a kind, loving, pure, and forgiving community who look out for themselves. They are hard-working, self-reliant, and do not worship anything green.  My aunt married a Dunkard (a Mennonite sect) and I would stay with them every summer, and was taught many a lesson. I absolutely envy them (which, of course, is a forbidden word). LOL

For those who care, there are 2 funds set up through the Fulton Bank branches. One is called the Nickel Mines Children's Fund and the other is called the Roberts Family Fund. They are accepting donations until Nov. 1 and there is a committee of 9 Amish who will be taking care of the proceeds of the fund.  I'm not sure of any of the addresses, but for anyone who would care to donate, you can go to WGAL-TV on line and find the addresses and correct names of the fund.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before.  It's just too weird and I have worked for doctors (mostly general practice) for 20 years.

My son is 20 and he has these really weird looking discolorations on his left arm. They are flat, pink, scattered and in many different dimensions from the size of a pencil eraser to an actual small squares. They are not raised, don't itch or hurt, but they've just been appearing slowly and are now covering more areas of the arm.

He works in a kitchen at a nursing home, but the spots appeared before he got this job. The nursing home said he needs to have this checked out before he comes back to work on Tuesday (he has tomorrow off).

Rundown on his health history is that he is asthmatic (not enough to be on meds)and coughs a lot. Unfortunately, he is a very heavy smoker and I've been trying to get him to stop. He has cut down, because he's living at our house now and smoking is outside. He doesn't cough as much, but still coughs a lot.

He is 6 foot 4 inches and weighs 135 lbs. He eats constantly and never gains weight, but he's been like this since he was in grade school. He has a confirmed diagnosis of thalassemia and also has symptoms of what may be Marfan's Syndrome.

One last thing is that he had months of unprotected sex with a girl he was in love with until he found out that he wasn't the only one she was sleeping with, so he left her and moved back home for the time being.

Any ideas would be helpful.

I can't sleep in if I know I can, but wish I could when I can't. I set my alarm (which I never have to do) for 8:30 this morning and got up at 5:20. If I hadn't set it, I might have slept until 7:00, but I highly doubt it.

Funny thing is it never matters what time I go to bed, whether it's 8:00 p.m. or 1:00 a.m

Hubby was born around midnight and has worked the graveyard shift for nearly a decade, as he could never get out of bed in the morning for work. He goes to bed between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. and sleeps until dinner.

Two sons, both born at night who would sleep until 4:00 p.m. if they could.

Two daughters, both born in the a.m. that "sleep in" when they can, but never past 9:00 a.m.

This is too weird. Now I'm thinking I should have been born around 9:30 a.m. Then I could sleep until 7:30.

I can, however, nap on demand. I say to myself, "Okay, time to sleep for an hour now" and I'm zonked out for an hour, never longer, no alarm clock. Weird.
