husband complains when he has to print out his work schedule (no printer on his laptop) and has to use mine to get to his work website but missing the E, D, S, C, N, L, and my < and > ---drives him nuts...so guess who gets to get the schedule for him! One of these days I will get some letters, tried Liquid Paper but was uncomfortable on the fingers and wore off fast too.

Vinyl sticky letters...sm
www.goldviolin.com sells sticky Vinyl letters. I have bought many, many sets and always keep one on hand. They are also very large letters, for those of us with failing eyesight. Lol
Vinyl stickers with very large letters...sm
work really well, I ordered them from Gold Violin.com. I believe they were $9.00. I don't look at my keys, but it just bugs me when there are no letters on my keys.
Although no letters means nobody else will get on my puter. 
The letters will probably get more attention, if you put a little white powder in them...lol..nm

Elimiate white flour and white sugar from your diet.
Why not leave them white or off-white and use
accessories and window treatments to bring it together. Personally, I like neutral color walls and like to decorate around them. You can bring the rooms together with nice window treatments, throw pillows, and candles with candle holders.
Pier-1 imports has great decorating ideas.
Good luck.
Ceramic vs vinyl
A big NO to the vinyl. It buckles, peels and lifts off the cement underneath if it gets too wet...especially where the cove basing (under the sink cabinets) meets the floor.
If you can afford it, definitely go for ceramic. Last a long, long time, looks much better but be prepared to be diligent about cleaning the grout between the tiles...if you ignore it for too long, it will darken.
Vinyl stickers
I purchased some vinyl stickers from GoldViolin for $10.00 . They are the best I have found, although they will wear too, so I buy 2 sets at a time. Hope this helps.
Thanks everyone, now that I look more at the floor, its a vinyl I guess -sm
so linoleum was probably the wrong way to describe it. Just hoping I can clean it so in the future whenever we sell (in a few years) we won't have to put in a new floor....will use tile next time though so I don't have this same problem. Another alternative is to cover the whole floor with the rugs and make it one uniform stain (then no one would know!).
The Armstrong stuff is for vinyl...
You can find it at Home Depot or Lowes near the cleaners and such. and it worked beautifully on my vinyl. It wasn't real expensive either. Its a two step thing, one strips and the other puts a new gloss on it. Try it....it will probably work.
ceramic tile or vinyl
Hi; when we bought our house it had carpet in the bathrooms, dining room and kitchen (even UNDER the stove!!). Couldn't wait to get it out of those places. We did go with Pergo in the dining room and kitchen, and it has done very well; however, there are no children in our home so there is less wear and tear on it. We have had it about 5-6 years and it is holding up very well. Just thought I'd share my experience with it :)
I would go with vinyl. We have tile now and I think it killed my dog. -sm
She slipped and fell on it when she slopped her water. I almost did too. She could hardly move. I think she might have broken some ribs. At the least they had to be bruised. It was actually my husband's cousin's dog so he took her to the vet and they put her to sleep on me. The vet said she was in severe pain. She was my little buddy. I never had an animal that loved me so much. (And I've always been a cat person.)
Tile is very slippery, hard, and cold too. I found the vinyl a lot easier to clean. Our tile is a mess. It cracked, the grout is dirty even though it was sealed. It's mostly because of the dogs that it's so yucked up. I can't stand going over by the front wall. It's soooo cold there, but I'm really intolerant to cold.
Our vinyl lasted a lot longer and was more comfortable than the tile. Not to mention, we had to cut all the doors besides.
ceramic tile/vinyl
I have had ceramic tile in my kitchen and also vinyl. Ceramic does clean much easier, looks nicer, but it is very slippery when wet, can cause a concussion if you fall on a wet floor or that, and if you drop anything, boy does that object shatter. I like vinyl better, harder to keep clean but with the new vinyl floors now they are beautiful. I would choose vinyl over ceramic, but that is just my opinion.
DH and I had vinyl lettering done up for our car windows this year.
Mine says, "Keep Christ in CHRISTMAS." His says, "What do you mean Happy Holidays? How would you like it if your birthday was taken away?"
Yes, the school holiday programs today were lame. Happy Holidays, Jingle Bell Rock, African Kwanzaa song, Hanukkah song, but absolutely not a darn thing referring to Jesus Christ, Noel, angels, or anything "religious." There wasn't one African or Jewish person in the entire auditorium either. But what I want to know is this. If Christmas is too religious to be in school, why aren't Kwanzaa and Hanukkah too religious to be in school?
I have vinyl but I think ceramic tile looks nicer.

small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.
POLL: Off subject - Ceramic tile or vinyl
 I recenly bought a big house that has carpet in the kitchen. I want to take the carpet out but don't know if I should go for ceramic tile or vinyl flooring. Any suggestions?
Vinyl belts. Thanks for the memory, Mine was legal, but all the same.

We have a gunite pool as opposed to vinyl/sand liner..
The gunite is definitely more expensive, but lasts much longer. I'm in NH and I see signs for gunite pools starting at 19,900 around here, but I have no idea what that includes. As usual, the advertisement and the actual cost out the door are probably too different things. Also, expect your electric bill to hit the roof even if you run the filter only 12 hrs out of 24. But it's worth it to us... Our kids are pre-teens and virtually LIVE in that thing, so we don't regret buying this house.
I did legal transcription using the old vinyl belts. A LONG time ago. LOL

In the "old days" of dictation on vinyl belts, the quota was do to 15 minutes an hour. sm
To me, it seems realistic, but then again, each situation is different. On account I know, I can usually do 30 minutes an hour, although being money-oriented and paid by the line, I usually gauge things by lines. I do 250-300 lph, but those little dinky reports ARE an irritation -- no argument there -- hardly enter the header info and *poof* the dictation is over. Would be hard to make a decent line count that way.
But ... surely your employers understand there are variations on such things. Maybe you average 8.9 one month and 12 the next ... I would think it would even out.
Anyway, i'm into that gray zone where I know nothing about, but I wish you good luck. To me, in the days when I was supervisor, if I knew someone was doing the best they could do, that was all that mattered to me.
Your white cat
I have a feral kitten and I brought in a log for him to claw on and he loves it. You could try that.

White noise sm
I have a small TV and Bose radio/CD player in my office. I worked 30 years in a clinic setting and am just used to working with the sound of people around me. I have remotes to those two things, plus remote for ceiling fan/lite and DVD player on desk, lol. I think it might be time to get a universal remote.
White Chili
and homemade fresh salsa. Yum!
White tea and ginger (sm)
You can get it on the B&BW website--it's on sale now for $5, too.
What is white chestnut?...nm

The White House says they did not know about
and then went on TV to talk about taxes. I think if you watch FOX news you could see it was not democrats or republicans but everyday people who are sick of politicians lying to us. I have not seen any "Change" just more spending to pay back the people who bought this election. IMHO.....
Regarding letters
We have an account with our national where all the consults are dictated in letter format. So for every single consult we get we have to look up the correct names, spelling, and addresses for the referring physicians because the dictators never give them. Once we get them we can save them in autotext, but it's still a pain to have to look them all up.
No letters
My daughter could not use my computer because of no letters left on the keyboard.
three letters: CTS
some of us CAN'T do much else at this point. I can't even write anymore!! And we blessed, fortunate ICs don't qualify for disability pay or unemployment... so yes, it's upsides and downsides, but in the end, right now I'm facing having to quit MT and I have NO idea what to do for a living, at the tender age of 36, and, with the pay cuts and such, no money to invest in an education. So please try to have some compassion... not all bellyaching is unfounded.
Think again - big letters at top saying
Not to post there unless you work for MQ
letters sm
The written word can come back to bite you. Be careful what you say. If they care enough, they'll ask and then you can verbalize. Otherwise, it will become part of your permanent record. Don't say anything to make them angry, One never knows down the road when you will have to list them in your past employment history. Sometimes we would like to pour our hearts out but it would depend on what you have to say. I once wrote a note which was not really that bad but everyone in the company said I left a scathing letter which was totally untrue. The less you put in writing, the better, IMHO.
for me, the only ones that letters don't rub off....
and on the back of mine it does say Key Tronics.......
Use a name that is 4 letters or more and you get the... sm
AutoComplete tip box showing your entry, then you can press F3 or enter to expand it. Make sure the first 4 letters of the name are not the same as the first 4 in another entry or Word won't know which one you want and no tip will appear. You can use less than 4 letters in the name but no tip appears. You'd have to remember it and hit F3.
Just remember that AutoText only works in Word and you might want to think about a true text Expander that works in all of your programs. You can also bog down your normal.dot file if that is where you choose to save AutoText and you will be at high risk of corrupting the file. Make sure you keep a backup.
white noise machine
I had a neighbor who had a dog who barked all night and also another neighbor who played music all night. I bought a white noise machine for about $20.00. I had a choise of ocean waves, birds chirping, rain hitting the house, thunder, so many more sounds and it worked..It would drown out the outside noises.I had tried ear plugs, calling the cops (the minute they left the dog and neighbor would start again), confronting the neighbors..nothing worked but the white nose machine..You can get one at any department store..
I have never seen a white man/woman in the fields.
Who would want to stand in 100 plus degree temps or, in winter, nonstop rain, chilly temps, working the fields or tending the cattle? No one who was raised with sliced bread; they'd probably starve first.
I was married to an ag man (cattle). The immigrants come and go across the border often (visiting family). It is not difficult.
They are keeping the price of the food you eat down.
White Sox. They should have won the last World Series

white dresses always look a little pasty....nm

Actually, there are many left, both black and white.
God Bless them all.
And I want the white chili recipe!
Try straight white vinegar. sm
I use it all the time. Of course, the smell is horrible but at least it is better than some of that stuff you buy in the store. I usually rinse it real well after and then dry everything.
put a little white vinegar is a bowl and set it out.
Vinegar is a great neutralizer. I always have my stove exhaust fan on when cooking odorous foods and if possible I open a window. We had someone housesit for us who smoked in the house, even though they were told they couldn't. I'm very sensitive to cigarette smoke and we had to wash all the surfaces with vinegar. I had a used car dealer tell me one time when I was complaining about a smell in a used car to cut an apple in half and put it under the seat, so maybe an apple would work too.
oh yeah, like white americans and others...sm
another one who needs their head examined - blaming all the crime in America on illegal aliens.....you're very sick......
Just look at the predators going after kids - NOT ONE IS EVER FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY - only white trailer park trash oh and priests.......pedophiliacs......
Gang rapes - usually done by white men.......
drugs were around way before the illegal aliens - street gangs were around before illegal aliens (think MAFIA and then Bloods and Crips)........
Geesh - you need to just quit posting is all....ill-educated as far as the street goes, eh?
look in the mirror before you falsly accuse Immigrants!!
Trailer park trash has been on the welfare rolls for 4 decades in this country!! They keep having more babies thinking they can stay on forever. Good thing the welfare laws are changing!!

Not a black or white thing
Am white, use reckon and fixin to, these are just southern expressions I grew up with. So funny told hubby I was gonna take my bath- he said well that was really rude. My grandson piped up and said everyone in his family took a bath. What a laugh that got! I told hubby the other day not gonna do something, just like beating a dead horse and spinning my wheels, no use. Gosh I wish I could think of more but mind is sorta blank on these at this time.
red and yellow, black and white--OK
Type as dictated. Oriental male and black male are both acceptable phrases.
Oriental, Caucasian, Filipino, Hispanic, Latino, etc., are all names of peoples/races and should be capitalized.
Color designations of race and ethnicity are not capitalized: black, white.

White Chestnut, keeps me focussed.

Is Pres. Obama taking into consideration how many U.S. based medical transcriptionists will be out of work when his medical records program, computerizing medical records, is put into effect? Thousands upon thousands upon thousands. This end result is never addressed, only how it will save jobs, save money......NOT from my point of view. I changed jobs 11 years ago to become a Transcriptionist thinking it was going to be a prosperous move. I am 50 years old. Where will my job be in a few years?
As soon as I started doing letters...
I would fly like the wind. That is what hourly paid secretaries are for! Good luck in finding something else, but do like I do... let them know from the gitgo I WILL NOT DO CORRESPONDANCE! 
Despise letters! UGH...nm
.
DS, H&P, CONS, letters
are the basics. Doing OPs is another level up
letters for keyboard
there's a place called Gold Violin (1-877-648-8400) or www.goldviolin.com that has a set of letters (1-black letters and the other one white) that you can buy for about $10. they're enlarged too which makes it easier as well to see, if you've got that problem. i got a set and just haven't taken the time yet to clean up my keyboard to put them on. i love my cordless Logitech keyboard and mouse as well. i like the touch on my keyboard as well so don't want to buy another one just because the keys wore off, so this fit the bill for me.
