I want the Hyundai Santa Fe. Luxury and comfort

for a SUV. Rent one for a day or so before you buy, that way you can really tell if you like it. We usually rent something that we're thinking of buying when we go on vacation.

GOOD LUCK!
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 :)
Monitor-Hyundai (large) for $150...sm
Bought at Best Buy (monitor) or Office Depot (Logitech mouse)
But the monitor is big, not a thin trinitron.......you could go to the website or contact dell dot com for pricing of a thin monitor.
Best luck!! 
That is a luxury we don't all have
But we don't all have that luxury. My parents are dead and we move often, so don't have any friends to watch my kids for me. You are one of the very few, lucky ones.
Very few of us have the luxury anymore of
And even if there's a smidgeon of wiggle room while agreeing on a starting wage at a new employer, it's usually only a percentage of a PENNY. On a wage that is already disproportionately low for the amount of skill required. And you think 'forcing' minimum wage is wrong? Why? If it were enforced, some of us might actually be able to MAKE minimum wage.
And mandatory cost-of-living increases need to be in place for the MTSO industry, as well, because they've been taking advantage of the lack of any kind of enforcement of it in this particular business, and have been cheating their employees for far, far too long. If they won't take the initiative to be fair, responsible, and above-board in the way they deal with their their clients, and even more so with their employees' wages then yes, at this point I'd rather the government stepped in than have to transition to burger-flipper at Mickey-D's.
Nope. We Don't Get That Luxury
We are the LAST line of defense for the company. We can not ask others to listen to our report since we are holding the soundfile.
You should really stop slamming QA since you obviously know pitifully little about what the job entails.
We can't all afford the luxury of "Finding another job"
It isn't nearly as easy to up and quit a job as you make it sound. What about health coverage? Most of us have children or medical conditions and need our insurance coverage. When you start a new job, you have to wait usually 90 days before health care will kick in and, in some cases, if you have a pre-existing condition, they won't cover you. That is why a lot of us stay. MQ is very closed in the communication department, so this is our only means of communicating with each other. And it doesn't help to get bashed by our fellow MTs. We could use a little patience and little sympathy from our brother and sister MTs. So you have to scroll down past our remarks, you could be in our shoes and that is much worse. So next time you want to bash MQers, think about if the shoe was on the other foot.
Wish I had that luxury! Every single one of the reports
Interesting (except op notes)? YES.
Able to sustain life at $6/hour? NUH-UH.
Yes, instead of healthcare, a luxury industry, one with lots SM
of money to throw around. Just a few weeks ago, there were a whole lot of them seling overpriced goods to people happy to be taken to the cleaners. For the next year or so, though, until those're back to normal, I'd check out government contractors, including war profiteers. Seriously. Many of them are making enormous profit margins on contracts that still have years to run.
And plenty of them were carting plasma TVs and luxury items too.

Luxury? I can't imagine that! LOL As a woman who LOVES to try different colors
with the changing of the seasons, I know that wouldn't be for me at all! I would hate it after only a couple of weeks or so...
MT comfort
Sorry to hear of your RA. I know it can be very painful and you are right, we have a job where no one sees us and who cares what we are wearing or where we do our work as long as we are happy,comfortable and productive.
I've never tried working outside but I do like the window open on a nice day to let in the breeze and the sun. Generally work evenings so spend a lot of time outside during the daytime anyway. Often thought of getting an RV and being a mobile MT.
That would be a lot of fun I think as long as you have a good reliable broadband connection and your computer was easily transported. That way you could be a snow bird in the winter and come north in the summer or whatever and do it in the comfort of an RV. RV sales are down though. I wonder why??? 
Does anyone have a Comfort Select bed and if so...how do you like it? nm

Comfort food.

Sleep Comfort Bed
We bought a Select Comfort bed. It is wonderful. My husband had really bad back problems but since getting the Select Comfort he has not had any problems (except when we sleep away from home). He loves it and recommends it to everyone!
Comfort Zone
 Yes -- so true! This board is a comfort zone for MTs new, seasoned and everything in between. I'm so glad it is here and available 24/7. The help and support is wonderful! Nice to know there are people on your side!

Question about comfort
I had read somewhere about noise-cancelling headsets being uncomfortable and hot on the ears. Any problem like that with the Bose?
anyone ever order from comfort keyboard or
I'm waiting for my keyboard now for two weeks, when I was told it would take two days. I just spent 300 hundred bucks on this thing, i've called several times, there is a tracking number and everything, but no one seems to know where my package is?? Just wondering if anyone has ordered successfully from these people and if I should just be patient. This is why I do not order on line very much!
Comfort Standard keyboard
SM lead me to the website that sells several different keyboards. The one I'd be ordering (if I had any money...ha-ha!) would be the Comfort Standard. Check out www.sforh.com/keyboards/split and you'll see which one I'm talking about. It's $$350, so I guess I'll just have my old one fixed and save up the money for the Comfort Standard. :)
Bose Quiet Comfort 2 - now they have a new
version which supposedly is even better - QC3. They are AMAZING. They do block out background noise, though its subtle. And the clarity is amazing! I can hear what the doctor is thinking! 
No, it isn't. Google comfort keyboards.

Bose quiet comfort 2
Pricey but worth it. Blocks out family's TV noise, muffles sound of vacuum cleaner, makes barely audible dictation clearer.
I wore one, but by all means DO WHAT YOU WANT! Your comfort is what matters.:-) nm

Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000?
More about keyboards ... I don't think I would like the big MS 4000, because when I tested out large ones in the store one day, it felt too big and awkward for me; however, I did try a smaller one with just a slight curve that felt quite good. (Unfortunately, I don't remember what make/model it was as I was not really shopping for one at the time.)
When looking around the web, it looks like it might have been the MS Comfort Curve 2000. Does anyone have any experience with that one?
Thanks for any feedback. 
Bose headphone Quiet Comfort 2 or 3 better?
Anyone tried both and have a preference? Any positives or negatives (besides the outrageous price?) I bought the Quiet Comfort 2 in the store after trying the demo model of the QC 3. I thought the over the ear would be better for blocking noise, but I am not certain they are as good as the QC3 (on the ear). I just want a pair of headphones that will block out my kids being home this summer, as I have to work in the dinning room corner and I hear everything. Might try a different brand/model all together because for 300-350 dollars I am not the Bose are worth it. Thanks for your input!
Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard
I read where some MTs were enjoying this keyboard, and they are quite inexpensive, so DH picked one up for me at Tiger Direct. Whoever recommended it is right; it has an quick touch for me and you can switch from a straight keyboard and it won't slow you down like most of the ergonomic keyboards. I usually like a very clicky touch, and this isn't like that. But the key action is quick and you barely have to touch them to activate the keys. The backspace is double-wide too. Since there is no space in the middle like so many ergonomic keyboards, there is no issue about reaching the 6 with your preferred hand, either.
My comfort keyboard does. I type in the neutral, "handshake"

Santa
The Santa's wife had written a book a few years before about a little girl who was killed and found in her basement. I have always suspected him.

Santa's House
Is anyone else getting an error message when trying to make a donation to Santa's House? I have been getting an error page since yesterday evening.
LOL. Yep, like the Chirstmas Santa
Too funny. I think she just wants attention and this is not the place. I'm sorry for her situation and glad she has done something about it, but really...enough already. Sheesh!
She needs to learn to make some decisions on her own. She says she is supposed to type 500 lines per day on her job....she types that many lines here on MTStars per day...telling everybody her personal business and wanting folks to feel sorry for her.
who was the Santa Claus?

Santa house?
I must be dense or blind or something, but I see nothing about a Santa house - only how many days and seconds until Christmas - and nothing to the left of it that says to post a new message. Am I supposed to see that at the top of this thread, or at the top of the main board - doesn't matter, I can't see it either place!
Secret Santa?
Is the link on this page the right link to enter?
Thanks MTStars and Santa!
What a wonderful and fun thing you provide for us MTs. Indeed, it is we who should be thanking you for the opportunity to come to this board and network with fellow MTs throughout the year. I am very grateful that you are here in spite of all the grinches who try to ruin it for the rest of us all year long. Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and care in giving us this respite from our difficult jobs and stressful holiday season. It is MUCH appreciated by most of us! God bless and Merry Christmas to all of you who do the hard work of monitoring and providing this outlet for us all.
MT Stars IS Santa! sm
I love this board and gain so much from it, I cannot imagine how anyone can find fault with anything on here. Just refund their money if they don't like it!
Santa Monica
I live in Santa Monica. Although I am not in Ventura County, I would be interested to hear what you have to offer.
Thanks! I am close to Santa Barbara and will go there.
Will keep you posted. It will take six months to save up the money. The clinic in Santa Barbara is well known.

I left the information you needed as a reply to your post below previous post.
Found Santa - no posting box.
I got to a new board I hadn't reached before - and there was the Santa house. I still don't find any box about posting, though. I'll keep searching. Ithas to be there somewhere!
