My kids are older and shouldn't need to be entertained. We do things with them in the afternoons, evenings and weekends, just like any other two parent working family. The kids know better than to throw things in the house. However, it's too hot to go outside so they're bored. They also know I work until noon. So why am I being struck by flying objects?  I think it's chore time.

Buying a new computer and cant decide on LCD monitor or regular monitor. Any opinions out there. The
LCD is 325.00 with 1 year warranty.
computer/monitor question
I would like to switch out my CRT monitor for a flat screen LCD monitor, any advice? My hard drive works fine, just looking to clear up some space on my desk, and be a little kinder to my eyes. Will I need to get any special adapters? I do not want to purchase anything that is not a necessity. TIA
How to measure a computer monitor?
Do you measure from 1 side to the other or inside only. Thanks.
I'm no computer genius but my monitor does it all the time sm
When?? When my cell phone is near by and something goes on with it, like a message comes through via email (I have a BlackBerry now). However, it did it before with my regular cell phone too - so I came to the conclusion that someone nearby was getting a phone call or something. Nothing has ever happened to my monitor...
Can anyone tell me an environmentally safe way to dispose of old computer monitor? TIA

Is there a reason does anyone know that you are to unplug your LCD computer monitor to clean it. Why
would they tell you to do that.
I had head if you were connected to a VPN your computer could be searched without your knowledge ??

What is good to clean an LCD computer screen that wont harm the black plastic monitor itself.

Bounced paychecks
When it happened to me many years ago, the first time my check bounced I figured it was a fluke. The second time, I went directly to the California Labor Board. I not only got my money, they also found LOTS of little illegalities going on at that person's company, and they put her out of business. I sure didn't lose any sleep over it. Plus I had already quit, anyway.
Except they bounced 3 of hers. Never paid her right, either.
And, she cleared a pool for them for a bonus - never got it.
That little Fernando is a horrible little man, too. (i think its Antonio actually - whatever!)
bounced check
I am in a different state than my client. Her check bounced and even then she has the guts to make one or the other excuse. Please advise about all possible options and the one that would work fastest.
bounced checks
What steps would you take if you had three bounced pay checks?
I'd have to get one on wheels to go about my adl. :)
Bounced check - this happened to me too.
I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago. The person who wrote me the check being in another state. Fortunately, I informed the person and I was sent another check (I was praying for a money order) fearing a second check would just bounce around again. The person didn't pay for the fees involved, which I think was rude/wrong because I got nailed fees at my bank when the check bounced, plus I had to borrow money from a family member to cover the checks I had written against it! However, I was just happy to get the majority of the money owed to me. Needless to say I quit that job and moved on. Good luck to you.
Spinning my wheels? I own
a transcription service and I have for about 15 years and I have been very successful in this business, money wise. And I also am close to getting my degree that I didn't finish years ago; I'm back in school full time AND running my business. I wouldn't call that spinning my wheels.
Ooops, sorry. My last post said "head head." I meant "her head." Sorry.
Squeaky wheels love to squeak ...
so bear that in mind. Squeakers can't squeak much at work, so they come here for relative safety and understanding. They also want to warn those inquirers and newbies who might have high expectations that no, they will not be making $50,000 their first year, etc.
This is the MAIN board you are posting on. There is a board for newbies, and most of us old-timers try to be a little more gentle there.
You should see boards where nurses post. New nurses visiting nursing boards get the first impression that all nurses are mean and burned out, when only half of them are burned out and regret their career choice in reality, LOL.
Just because you're apparently satisfied with spinning your wheels and
that doesn't mean that if someone younger has more ambition and wants to advance in this profession that she shouldn't be your supervisor.
You said you didn't WANT to be a supervisor, so does that mean that no one should be your supervisor for the rest of your life then unless they're 80 years old?
that should be, public, free TV will be gone...wheels in motion starting 2006...(nm)

It's when a vehicle is reconditioned, for example, new paint, fancy wheels, stereo, upholstery, D
p
Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...
Are you a monitor here?

I luv my LCD monitor
Not much to assemble. It's really a matter of popping the two cords into the back of the monitor. It'll take you about 15 minutes from start to finish ... that includes opening the box, taking out everything, reading the directions, connecting the monitor, installing the software), and throwing the box out.
monitor
If you use your computer a lot, plan on buying a lot of batteries or having a backup for a wireless with a charger.
As for monitors, you can get them on pricewatch pretty cheap now. I actually bought my son a 21 inch Sony on ebay for 200 including shipping. For my own 19 inch, I bought it at a rent-to-own furniture store. Once they have them a few months, they sell them and I bought it for 40. and it's like new.
Monitor
Yes! Yes! Yes! I recently got a flat-screen and I love,love, love it. I have a Sceptre which I bought at Wal-Mart for about $150.00. Best thing I ever did. It really cut down on my headaches. Get a flat-screen. You will not be sorry. I promise. :)
Well I DO need a big monitor...
these days. After hitting 40, my eyesight definitely isn't what it used to be, LOL!
monitor
i used to have this happen, and with mine, it was not a precursor to going out. But i can't remember what supposedly caused it -- power surge, interference?? but in my case, led to no other problems.
Monitor......
Buy a shield or screen for the monitor that minimizes glare from the lightsource.
Need help with monitor
I recently had a monitor conk out, so I got the one out that came with my personal computer (a couple years old but never used).
Everything was fine for a few weeks but lately, out of the blue, my page will shift to the right for no apparent reason (leaving 1-1/2 inch of black on the left and the right edge of the page not in view) and then it will shift back at some point.
When I press on the monitor menu button, nothing happens at all. I know when I first set it up, the menu and selections worked fine.
Any idea what is happening here? 
Do you use more than one monitor?...
My husband and I "built" our new computer on Dell's website last night, and they are offering a second monitor for a very reasonable rate. My question is, does anyone have this set-up using 2 monitors to work? I didn't quite see the use for 2, but maybe to have one just for typing, and the other for my references?
Apparently, it is set up that you just have to move your mouse and it will move over to the other screen....seems easy enough. But, I don't know if it would be worth the extra space it would take up on my desk and work area. So,does anyone have this set-up and consider it a must?
Thanks very much for your help! 
What monitor do you have?
This has nothing to do with the monitor...sm
It's about how the page will be printed:
Portrait or Landscape.
Click on 'File'
Click on 'Page Set Up'
Then you have the option: Portrait or Landscape, click how you want it printed.
Portrait prints it vertical
Landscape horizontal (for longer lines)
Cat sits on monitor.

who are we to monitor what they do with their money?
What is the *proper manner*? What you think they should do with money? These are grown men and women with families. They can decide what to do with the money. There but for the grace of God go I.
Software with monitor
You install the software that comes with the monitor. It's very straight forward. Insert disk. Install software. Enjoy monitor.
Need to get a new PC monitor, need opinions
Anyone with flat panels, how do you like them? Any problems with them?

Try moving your monitor up or down, too. sm
When my monitor is not positioned correctly, I get terrible neck aches and headaches. Sometimes just a half inch really makes a difference. Or even move your keyboard up or down. When I worked at the hospital, maintenance had to move my whole desk up onto 2 x 4's to give me that little bit of extra I needed and then I was comfortable. They had a desk made for kids that I had to sit at. It was really cramped.
guy got me a Hyundai monitor.....sm
Believe it or not, Hyundai sells monitors for around $140. It was compatible with the Dell. Hope that helps :)
What size is your monitor?
Just wondering what everyone uses. I use a 17 inch but would like a 19 or 21. I like mine big, but my mom who is also an MT says when the monitor is too big it slows down her production because her eyes have to travel further back and forth to read what she is typing. LOL Everyone is different. I've seen these huge monitors at the computer stores lately, widescreen, like 30 inches, and they look pretty cool. So...what size monitor does everyone use or would like to use? Thanks!
the monitor in question is over 5 yrs old
if you're lucky.....and to have a monitor for 5 years is a GREAT amount of time. Poster is lucky!
Hanging monitor
I heard about monitors that you can hang sideways, which helps you see the full page at once instead of having to scroll down. Apparently the monitor has a setting to change the image to sideways or something. Could improve your efficiency. That's what I'd get if I were in the market for a monitor.
I use the monitor controls. You can
gray-down the tone of the monitor brightness quite a bit, at least on the monitors I've had.
