Handmade-new law for products for children
If anyone is thinking of making handmade items for children as a sideline you should read this new Consumer Protection Agcy law. Good idea, keeping our children safe from lead but not a well thought out law and will put small businesses out of business.

Does anyone know of a way to make a tissue paper (or anything else cheap) wreath using handprints?
I am trying to come up with something cheap since I am the only one footing the craft bill for 25 kids!! I have all of their handprints and was thinking it would be a nice keepsake craft to have them make a wreath with them. I was going to use foam, but it is way to expensive to buy enough to make a wreath for 25 kids! I was thinking of using tissue paper and just cutting about a zillion handprints of each kid out and putting them together to form a wreath. Any ideas on how to make that work? A few years ago the class made the other kind of tissue paper wreath where you just wrap strips of tissue around the hanger and it turned out pretty nice. This would be nice too, since it would be with the kids' handprints. Any help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks everyone and Happy holidays!
Oddly enough, if I don't use my bank card as a credit card in the billing cycle, I get charged fo
x
Debit card. They've got the credit card logo on them, so they
can be used anywhere a credit card can be used.
I used to send a card and gift card to my direct supervisor, but that's it. sm
She was the only one who knew me as more than an employee number, and the only one I had any respect for.
Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
No credit card is a good credit card.
Just kidding. I'd suggest not using credit cards to pay debts. It'll only dig you in deeper. Look into a signature loan or putting a lien against a vehicle or house. Lower interest rate, pay off sooner.
card
Riversongs and angelrays are the best...but they are free.
2,000 debit card
When your boss gives you your paycheck, do they ask what are you going to do with that money? Didnt think so. Same thing for the people of the gulf coast. They lost their jobs, their homes. The money they will be given will be in lieu of a paycheck till they can find another job and home. Its a paycheck from the govt.
Ethernet card
If your connection to the internet is through a cable connection, then you have an Ethernet card. If it is dial up, you may not have one. Look at the back of your PC, and if you have a plug for a cable connection (it is slightly bigger than a phone plug), then you have an ethernet card. Hope this helps. You can also go into MY Computer and check there too.
find a new card....
or, as long as your payments have been on time, call them and let them know you will move your business, and most of the time, they will lower it. Check your FICO score...if it's good, you can call the shots if they want your business. All have that little clause now that says even if you are even 1 day late on ANY other bills, i.e, utilities, dept store, anything, they can charge up to 36% interest on your remaining paymnents. Read the very small print.
Nothing but a card in the mail...sm
Do ya think it would have broke the company to have slipped a little something into that card? McDonald's $5.00 gift certificate; anything to show a little appreciation.
I've been thinking about it because there's not a lot of suits to pay; 1 owner. Now that I think about it some more, I'm thinking the owner might be Jewish, and not celebrate Christmas. But then why even send the card? And why not call it "appreciation during the holidays" instead of a Christmas gift? I duuno. The supervisors actually are MTs; I would have thought they would have brought it up during their weekly huddle. "what are we going to do for the MTs for the holidays?"
I thought about it some more and maybe only being with the company for 2-1/2 months might have something to do with not getting even a token. Oh well.
YES. We had an IBM selectric with mag card
and we thought it was great! HAHAHAHA
wireless card
thanks for the info. When I call today, I will mention what you said. Maybe I will just go to one of the local Super stores and see if they can set me up with a inout deal, if not i really am going to move if it does not work-eeks
Credit card? I'm not sure either.
NM
does anyone have a prescription card that
isn't through their insurance company? like rxdrugcard, pharamacistrxcard, etc. i was considering getting one to cover the meds that insurance doesn't cover or pays very little on. any info is greatly appreciated
Debit card use
I know the credit card companies charge the place of business a fee or percentage when you use your credit card but does anyone know if it costs them every time you use a debit card, does the business pay a fee? Our apartment complex just offered the option of automatic checking account deduction because they said it costs them less than credit/debit.
debit card
Usually my purchases show up right away, unless its a holiday weekend and I use the debit card like a credit card instead; then its usually the next business day before those purchases show up. However, if I use it like a regular debit card, holiday or not the purchases show right away.
And if you got a $10 card you'd gripe, too. It's all you know

Anyone use a PC card for their work
I use a wireless card from Sprint and I am not that close to a tower. I checked with Verizon and their coverage does not seem to be as broad as Spint. I have no problems with downloading work, but do have a bit of a time lag when uploading work.
I would definitely suggest checking though with your IT department if you work for a national. I occasionally work for another service, and I when I download reports for them, I have to rely on dial up.
Hope this helps
I use a Verizon card
when traveling. I have the Nationwide package, $60 a month unlimited. In heavily populated areas, it is almost as quick as my DSL at home, but even in low population areas it is still better than dial-up. I've traveled from coast to coast (mostly along I-80) and only lost signal in the usual remote places (certain stretches of Wyoming or in heavy tree coverage). You might want to buy a card from whoever has the best cell signals in your area.
Rx drug card
I have one that's only $4.95 a month, and it's fabulous!! When I first applied for it online, I had 3 prescriptions waiting for me that were close to $60, but I paid less than $20 for them because the card was active within an hour after I ordered it!!
If you have a sound card..(sm)
you should have excellent quality. If the sound card is within your computer, you should hook the ear phones directly up to the computer. If not, you can install an external sound card and plug your ear phones into that. I have the external and have absolutely wonderful sound quality. On my lap tap I have an internal sound card and, again, have wonderful sound quality. I have speakers, but don't use them. If I unplug my ear phones, the speakers work, but I honestly can't say the last time I did that. I always use my ear phones.
My cat just stepped on my keyboard...Now I have two of them sitting right in front of me. Lovely, I guess they want my attention.
My daughter made it to the state tournament for softball All-Stars and we are headed up to the high country in the cool 80s. We will be out of this 115 degree weather for a week. Yippeee! That is something I love about Arizona. You just have a couple-hour drive and you are up in the cool mountain air.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
calling card
I used mine when I was out of town, and my minutes started as soon as I was connected to the dictation system. I diconnected in between reports when I proofread. It was cumbersome to do that, but saved some of my minutes.
Verizon air card
More info please. My husband and I are planning to do a lot of traveling and have been questioning the same things. I know we can leach off a signal if we are close enough to a wireless place such as a hotel, but what if we are up in the mountains or on a beach in the middle of nowhere? 
sound card
Thanks so much - great ideas!
Did anyone ever have a video card go bad and what does it cause when this happens. nm
:
wireless card
Well there are a LOT of factors - you may be a ways down the road from the nearest cell tower, which is one of the reasons that you only get one bar on your cell phone. I mentioned the "new wireless card" as a POSSIBLE alternative to those MTs who live in a rural area and cannot get a DSL or cable connection or satellite is not a viable option and are also utilizing a desktop computer. Until recently, the wireless cards were only feasible if you had a laptop computer, so I was just informing people that this might be another option. Sorry you have such bad cell phone service -- this is not an option for everyone but as I mentioned a POSSIBLE option with possible being the keyword
air card usage
Great that Sprint offers that. I do know on my account with Verizon there is unlimited usage, unlimited area. So I guess as well it goes to show that different companies offer different packages and most likely for different areas, depending on competition. Hope you find one that suits you, but make sure that you get the name, ID# , etc. of every person you talk to. Makes it a lot easier if you have to go back for whatever reason to them. Also, Verizon offers an antenna that you can hook to a window with suction cups, etc., so be sure to ask whoever you talk to if they offer any accessories at the time of sign up and if they can throw those in for free.
I don't know if you mean WiFi or the air card.
The air card lets you connect to the internet provided there is service available in the area. Just like cell service if there is no service it doesn't work.
WiFi works in the same way, if there is a network available within range you can connect to it, but unless it is an open hotspot you have to have a password to connect to it. Most computers now come WiFi compatible. If you have an older computer you can get a WiFi card that slides into a slot on your laptop. They range in price from about $40 up to $100+ and can be found at any computer store, or a store like Best Buy or Circuit City.
air card Sprint or AT&T?
i looked at verizon and don't think i want that one. I was going to go through Sprint/Nextel, but then noticed that AT&T has a network as well. any advice?
Would never cut my card list sm
I look forward to my cards and read them again at the end of the season. I hang them across a door on a string and down the sides. If someone cuts me off their list, especially if I know they can afford it, I think it's very insulting. I also love a little message as to how things are going but hate those "newsletter" type notices at how "well" they are doing, enough of that aleady - just a card and a little handwritten note to add that extra pizazz to lighten up your life. I understand some may have no choice, then a phone call would be nice explaining how they cut out cards this year but didn't want to forget us at Christmas, that I would completely understand. IMHO
what usb/card type is best
I'm looking at AT&T and Verizon's line of "air cards" and other USB gadgets to do this wireless connection. Do you have a particular brand or plan that you would recommend?
use the back of the card
to tell things like your turn around time, years of experience, specialties (though you don't want to if you are branching out because it may scare potential clients if you are not well rounded), what type of dictation/transcription you offer, as in tape, digital, FTP transfer, call in system, etc. Good luck to you!
A SS card has ALWAYS been required
for jobs--if nothing else, to verify it for tax purposes. Go to your local SS office and apply, have to do it in person as they require ID.
It could be your video card is going bad.
Does it give you any kind of error message when it won't boot up or does it just sit there?
I know just enough to be dangerous, but it sounds like there could be a problem with the mother board.
Wireless Card
I am working on getting a wireless card as I know I will be doing more traveling and want to use it with my laptop for transcription while away from home. I will use the card as a write-off for my business, but I also get a check for buying it through my own website. If anyone else is interested in making a profit off of this and other services that you use every day, let me know by sending me an email. I will speak to you about it then.
I also use wireless card
I also use Verizon wireless USB card and have no problem connecting and staying connected where I am at. If you can get a signal, you are in. I work online and have not had a problem. Even in my busiest month, I did not approach 2 GB of the 5 GB limit.
UPS or broadband air card maybe ?
Thanks to the posters below. After more investigation it sounds like I could get a fairly good UPS battery backup for the money a generator would cost. Of course it would not last as long time wise. I just wish I knew for sure that our cable high-speed internet would still work w/o power. The customer service guy put me on hold, then came back and said yes, but I am leery. I guess I could test that by buying a battery backup...charging..hooking it up and cutting the power via the main switch and see if the cable works but that would only test if MY house is without power not if the power were cut to the area. Been thinking about cutting the cable internet and going with an "air card" (broadband off cell towers?) Then, with a laptop, I could take my work with me too ?? I am Soooooo low tech it is agonizing !!!
GIFT CARD
It is a slap in the face! What is $5 going to buy you at Wal-Mart? They could have sent you at least $25. They should be ashamed.
netbook with air card, has anyone tried this
Hi,
Has anyone tried using one of the new netbooks with a broadband "air card" which plugs into a USB port, a wireless keyboard and mouse (for ease of typing), and a foot pedal plugged into another USB port? Am thinking about getting rid of the high-speed cable and going this route which costs about 60$ a month so that i could take my work with me or check on work away from home. This has really become an issue lately because my granddaughter is in Children's Hospital with a heart defect. Most of the time there is "sit around and wait for hours" where i could be doing some reports while waiting for news. Verizon gal told me that the broadband is "secure" where WiFi is not. any advice/ideas? I say a netbook because they are so cheap ...about 350$ compared to a laptop.
network air card
I have one which I purchased a month ago. it works well. I went with Verizon because it is 5 Gigs and ATT is only 3 Gigs of usage which makes a lot of difference. It works well and is portable. Sounds like it would be good for you in your situation. The first bill is more becuase of the setup fee, etc. ($112). I have not decided if I will keep my internet carrier or just have the Verizon. it is enough unless you want to view movies do a lot of video stuff. That will send you over the amount and cost a lot more. Hope you granddaughter gets better post haste. Will remember her in prayer.
2.30 (but that was at Sam's Club with the membership card) (nm)
jjj
If she reads get her a gift card for
Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore. I get one every year for Barnes and Noble and it's my favorite gift. If I don't feel like going out, I can order what I want on the net with the card.
it depends upon what the sound card will be used for
If it's extremely important (i.e. speech recognition), go for the SoundBlaster Audigy. It sells for about $129. Otherwise, the plain old SoundBlaster is a good bet.
Adjust sound card sm
You need to go to control panel, select sounds and devices, then select the audio tab, then the advanced tab, and finally the speakers tab. Change setting under "speaker setup" to stereo headphones, then you should hear in both ears with your headphones.
Verizon has a card for laptops (sm)
$60 a month for unlimited high speed access from anywhere you can get a signal. I have a Verizon cell phone and get pretty good coverage with it.
How do you rent a car without credit card?
I only use my debit card now. However, how do you rent a rental car without a credit card?
Just got a debit card this week, trying to
get away from credit cards and be more responsible with $$ and out of debt. There was a pamphlet in with the card that gave a list of when to use credit and when to use debit and pretty much 99% of the time they suggested using credit. The biggest pro to using credit is that if there is a dispute over a purchase you can get the charged credited, at least temporarily, but not with a debit - at least that is what the pamphlet led me to believe. Not a usual occurrence, though nice to have that protection.
if you use your debit card for gas purchase (SM)
make sure you realize that some companies (Shell is really really bad to do this) will reserve extra funds on your debit card until the transaction completes and releases those funds 24-72 hours later. With Shell, it is $75 over your purchase. I nearly fainted when I realized what was happening. You can go on MSN Money and find a few articles on this -- gas companies reserving funds on your debit card.
Want to send E-card for a birthday.
I want to sign up and pay for a birthday card and want to know if there are opinions of who carries the coolest animated greeting cards for the most reasonable price.
Ladies and gentlemen, your opinions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
