It was otherwise adjustable for height and rocks back or can be locked into place depending on how my back and neck feel.

yes, and I found it really helped for awhile sm
then I hit some life situations where I just could not cope. My doctor put me on Lexapro, and it was a life saver. If your depression is mild, 5HTP is a really good start. St. John's Wort barely took the edge off for me, but the 5HTP was quite good.
With short arms, I need chair with shallow seat, good back support and high back. Want arm rests

I have found taking them to a high rise for the elderly (sm)
and leaving them in the lobby for people to enjoy is a great way to make both you and some senior citizens feel pretty good.
Anyone on the high speed internet that has found it just crawling along for some reason. All of a
sudden my just goes into web sites at a crawl and my computer is fine and modem seems fine. No clue what is going on.
All docs to be sent back to high school
to learn how to do a basic OUTLINE!
I feel like I'm back in high school again!
This is ridiculous!
Feels like the cliques back in high school...
I can not believe how rude you all are... I make a simple statement and everyone jumps all over me? If you all lived in our neighborhood and saw house after house with tree down, where you can see the roots are barely in the ground because they were planted so shallow, with no room to grow because the curb and the sidewalk are on each side, and you talked to all of my other neighbors who all feel the same way, then maybe you wouldn't be so quick to pass judgement. I think it's ironic that everyone else I've talked to in person finds it surprising that trees as big as these were, that have been there a decent amount of time (2+ years) did this. I have six trees in my backyard that were only planted 2 months ago, but were planted the right way and are fine... I am not an expert on Arizona weather, having only lived here 2 years, but it doesn't take a genius to look at the way these trees roots are so shallow to know there is a problem. The other tree snapping in two is not something I blame on the landscapers, it was obvious that it has a very thin trunk and was never very strong.
God forbid anyone make a passing comment on what is obviously "your board". And no need to respond anymore, you've made it very clear that newcomers are not welcome.
Long and winding road, but back in high school
 My favorite album was Sgt. Pepper's, I listened to it over n over until the tape wore out and finally broke. I keep meaning to replace my old collection with CDs. I used to have posters of the Beatles all over the walls, collected those circle john lennon sun glasses, the whole deal.
I like a chair with arms, deep seat and high back (sm)
so I bought a leather chair from Costco about a year ago and have never regretted it. Think it is made by Lane. It was a little expensive but since I'm in it for hours a day - sometimes 12 - I figure it was an important investment... plus it is so good looking we often wheel into other parts of house when we need extra seating :)
Mine was from my high school test, back in the dark ages.
Here's the one I found a while back.

hmm so do you think he wanted to be found out? why put the gun back then
seemed to want to be found, and then on another he would appear to have wanted to not be.
leaves computer
but....puts gun back in her parents' house
shoots family
but....openly leaves on a plane where he can be tracked
None of it makes sense to me. Oh well, maybe that's the method in his madness.
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?
what helped me
I had to stay away from situations or places where I tended to smoke.
I know you cannot quit work just to quit smoking but maybe rearranging your home office/work area could help.
I also agree with finding a substitute. For me, it was the holding of the cigarette, not the oral contact, that was a tough one. I need to have something to do with my hands - try a stress ball if you find your hands feel empty during your breaks.
I quit in 1997 and still crave a cigarette from time to time but the feeling passes quickly. The first 4 years were really difficult, though. Good luck.
Thank you to everyone below who helped (sm)
me with the PTO question. I got an answer so am a happy camper again
YOU HELPED ME FIX IT!!!! sm
THANK YOU SO MUCH! You helped me figure it out...I knew I needed to change something with the field codes but could not find it!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Something good will happen to you for helping me!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you to all who helped me!

HAVE YOU BEEN HELPED?
Yes, it helped!!! Thanks so much. nm

Me too. She always helped me when
I was helping out on OPs! Now I do them quite a bit, but still need some help here and there!
helped me a lot
I thought the book was very helpful. I think it increased my speed at least by half. For me, it was a worthwhile investment.
I did try all that and it helped some sm
and it definitely made my computer speed up but the dragging is still there.
It's about time someone helped US out
nm
You believe the people being helped are the same ones...
shooting, raping, etc.??? Perhaps some are, but the majority are ordinary working people, and probably some who aren't working. So what? They are human beings and deserve to be treated decently. Who are you to judge that they aren't worthy of help???
As others have mentioned, I hope when you need help you are able to get it. What a despicable attitude. I feel sorry for you.
Thanks for your tips, they helped! NM

Yes, thanks a lot - helped greatly!! NM

I wanted to thank everyone who helped below
about DHs red blotches. He is feeling fine this morning. I did tell him the signs of anaphylaxis and to go to the ER if he has any of those symptoms. We may never know what caused those blotches. Thanks again!!! You all rock!
Thanks. A different speaker helped--
Thanks so much. But, it is the sound quality from my company, it is just bad. They have the good system and then a bad system, is how I interpret it. When it is coming from the bad part, it is bad. That's what I think. Don't know, though. Changing speakers helped, and I did not think of that, so thanks so much.
Yes - it helped w/abbreviations, etc.
I think it helps to broaden your knowledge of certain standards if you're job hunting, even if you've never used them. For example, you won't be surprised when you get a different job or client and someone chews you out about starting a sentence as "27-year-old patient comes in today" (versus "This 27-year-old..." or "Twenty-seven-year-old..."). JMHO and IME
I finally helped someone. Yea!! (nm)
natural products helped me - sm
I feel for you. Different story, (though same in that tubes tied, PMS-crazy 10 out of 30 day each month, teens) but maybe this might help you. I could not opt for hormone tx (diabetic)after hysterectomy (for other changes in cycle; light, then very heavy, then not there) and opted for surgery when fibroids were found.)Immediate surgical menopause resulted in symptoms even though before this my FSH and estradiol levels came back I was not peri.
Researched websites and found natural progesterone cream (bought at local health store)helped me a lot, but wound up on Lexapro (calming) too. Taken together, this was the optimum fix for me.
A mouth guard helped me
Good luck.
Split shift helped me a LOT! Was
getting very painful to type eight hours straight. It has helped to the point where I barely realize any pain anymore. Also, I can seem to go "great guns" the first hour or two of my shift, and then slow down some after that. This way, with split shift, I have two sets of "two hours" of gungho, at least as gungho as I can get...LOL.
I wanted to thank the person that helped me. sm
That Turtle Beach Audio Advantage is really the ticket. I can't believe I was living with such bad sound quality for so long. THANKS SO MUCH! This is really helping immensely.
I'm happy my post helped you....sm
and I NEVER lie!! It's the truth!! My only thing today is I don't want to go back out there and re-solicit (I still work for the BIG national part time for now but the day I leave there, I'm hitting the streets again...*LOL*)
Best of luck!!! You'll do fine!!! Meeting them all in person to me, where they can see your face, what you emanate in public, one's honesty and directness...I believe the doctors ALL like this!! And if the office is busy and they cannot see you or interview you, you come back another time - made an appointment. *S*
Thank you everyone for the input. It helped with my decision.
I have been feeling quite used for years by her, but have been putting up with it because she IS family. My mom did tell me years ago that she hates cooking holiday meals, so she has basically invited herself every year since 1999. We do always have a good time, but I do nearly all the cooking and cleaning up. Sometimes she and her husband show up in time to eat, gather the leftovers, and leave. I go all out for holiday dinners too. I have decided NO more. We cannot be used unless we allow ourselves to be a doormat. Thank you for telling me what I needed to hear, especially those of you who have also dealt with this.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED ON INDENTING NUMBERS!
Thank you so much, I lost a days work not knowing how to do it as the account requires indented numbers.
Your very welcome Hayseed! glad it helped someone, LOL! sm
is your volume low now too?
I just did a system restore and that seems to have helped. nm

I want to thank everyone that helped with the C-phone question, got another one for ya now.
Okay.. another strange question. I'm used to just specifying my typing speed on a wpm basis, how do I convert my wpm over to lph?
Thanks again, everyone's been so helpful.
I'm against outsourcing, too. It's helped to ruin a lot of

I think I found it, found multiple recipes with the same
exact ingredients so I figure this must be it.
Mouth guard helped me too. $500 and insurance did not pay, but

Has talking to the supervisors not helped up there. What are they thinking.
:
AAMT has never helped the MT, ever. It took me a few years to figure...sm.
it out, but I did. Of course, that was after spending a lot of money on certification, membership, and meetings. I received nothing back for my involvement with AAMT. It is a total waste of money and time for the MT.
No big deal. I've done this a few times, can't be helped

"The big kids" don't like MPI, but I do. It helped me immeasurably when SM
I was first working. I have since bought them as gifts to starting-up MTs. I like the book. I have not seen Stedman's, but I don't generally trust Stedman's at all for anything. I use the books, I have a bunch of them, but I don't like them much. They're just all we have and it's better than nothing.
I think it speaks volumes that they have a "correction card" included with each book.
Yes, helped for about 1 year, then same symptoms returned.
Just had hysterectomy last year. Never felt better. No pain, no cramps, no heavy bleeding and I can leave the house and not have to worry about blood running down my legs any more. The ablation worked in decreasing the heavy menstrual flow for about a year. Then it returned with the pain, etc. I have had endometriosis and ovarian cysts since I was 13, with many laparoscopic cystectomies, etc. I am now 38. I finally know what a normal pain-free life is like.
If you do decide to go with the ablation, get the NovaSure - it takes less than 5 minutes to perform and better results than ThermaChoice.
Good luck.
I think starting in acute care helped.
When I was offered jobs, companies were excited that I prefered OP notes to clinics, so maybe that's a factor.
Thanks! Coffee helped! The cloud is lifting...
I'm sorry I got confused about AAMT versus BOS, etc. I have heard that some companies don't touch it, but I guess I just have the luck of running into the ones who use it exclusively. I only ran into it when job hunting, but since use it all the time. If a company does use it exclusively, it is nice having everything in one easy reference. I hate all the exceptions and different rules...Sorry if I misinterpreted. Have a good one!
Setting goals helped me tremendously
I have had burnout in the past and when I did usually tried to take a day or two off. Do not have it now but I just got tired of making a low salary like I was doing so decided I would increase my speed as far as blocking out everything else during the day in order for me to achieve my goal. This last paycheck really paid off. It was $400 more dollars than the time before and I am staying at the increased line count. I like the money and that is more than enough to put some speed in my production. I do not like those lousy paychecks at all.
