ever replace my best friend and husband.  Yes, I have tried the dating thing, but to tell the truth here, it's not the same and I don't think anyone could ever replace the father my children lost at such an early age. 

By the way. he had just turned 34 when he died, so I suppose you might want to give your hubby a big hug tonight for thinking of your future without him, especially when we truly do not see ourselves leaving this world so soon. 

Hugs to you and yours!!!

When it comes to something like that, that I usually take care of but for whatever reason I can't, I will tell my husband exactly what to do, but when he comes back - to use your case as a "for instance" - I will ask him, "Did the doctor look at his foot?" 

Him: "No."

Me: "Did you ask the doctor to look at his foot?"

Him: "No."

Me:  "I told you to have the doctor look at his foot!"

Him: (shrug)

etc., etc., etc.

Your husband may not be like that - I sure hope he isn't. And yes, they should have checked his vitals and checked his foot without being asked. But sometimes you have to be assertive with people. And while my husband attained the rank of major in the Air Force and had no trouble ordering people around, there are times when he should be assertive but isn't. And he is not intimidated by doctors - he started his AF career as an x-ray tech (that's how we met). I dunno....(Rad MT wanders off, mumbling....)

Audio Advantage.  Essentially it is an external sound card.  Plugs into USB port and then your headphones plug into it.  I have had one for about a year and cant live without it.  My problem is so called "secret" dictators.  A lot of my docs think their dictation is a secret or something and talk so low that I simply cannot hear them.  The Turtle Beach does wonders for them.  There are tons of options to play with that helps clear up noise too.  One warning though, it will render your speakers useless and you only have sound through your headphones unless you uninstall it.

They rented this beautiful place for a week for the wedding and the guests - a huge mansion-type place just for them.

They wore white....she wore flowing cotton white, he wore a white shirt and white shorts, they were barefoot (actually everyone was barefoot) with she wearing foot jewelry.  These are not youngsters either (in their 50s) but a first marriage for my friend (she never found Mr. Right until she found Mr. Right - so happy for her - she deserves it and more).  It was exquisite - everyone else was dressed neat-clean-casual - slacks on women, except for her sister who was Maid of Honor......but it was real casual with the finest of food and drinks :)

I think it's up to the people getting married - never let anyone dictate such a special occasion!!! 

It plugs into the back of the computer and enhances the volume as well as the quality of sound.  But I needed to get an extender from Radio Shack since it plugs in the back (but if you have any USB jacks in front, that would work too).

except for the biker bars (which are really kinda fun!).  Small local market in the square on Friday.  Nice beach, good restaurants, close to Daytona and St. Augustine if you are looking for more action.

A little cool for swimming IMHO, but with good weather it's nice to dig your toes in the replenished beach.

It is a USB thing that looks like a flash drive and it bypasses the sound card.  It has lots of settings to adjust to improve sound.   I got it and didn't think it made much difference, but then didn't use it for a couple of days and realized that it did make a difference.  I got mine at Best Buy for about $30.  There have 3 different levels and I think Audio Advantage is the middle one (which was the only one they had at Best Buy).  You can Google Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach and probably find their website. 

Creative is a good brand of sound card and likely it isn't the sound card that is the problem, just poor quality dictation.  The USB thing above will help, but if you don't have good dictation to work work, you can only do so much.   If you don't have them also try noise-cancelling headphones.  They are rather pricey, though can probably get a good pair for about $60 or less on sale, and they make a significant difference too.
