In Reply to: dry eyes office humidifier help - Sandy54
I used my electric potpourri pot with some liquid potpourri added to the water. I helped out tremendously while adding a nice scent to the air. It didn't toss out white dust like my cheapie humidifier did and the noise of a running humidifier wasn't there either. I also put bowls of water in front of the register in both winter and summer for a little humidity.

uncontrollable giggles
I know odd things have struck me funny and I ever get a case of the giggles it is hard to get rid of them. Of course, every time you mention anything about it or think about it you can't help but start laughing all over again.
Gave me the giggles!!! LOL!!!
LOL...wicked giggles...kinda makes me wonder if the above MT can bring themselves to type the terms for private parts...or are they offensive also? One could wonder...hmmm...Please forgive me, I truly mean no offense, I just could not resist. I have a nice set of horns to counter your halo.
On a professional note, I too believe that if it is stated, it should be type. Those types of direct quotes help indicate a patient's character and/or state of mind. They are a very important part of the medical record and should never be left out unless specifically asked by the client!
People...please do not take offense, I have a truly wicked sense of humor is all!!! LOL.
Okay, just for grins and giggles, to continue
I just brought up that document from last night that I had in Word - and this is what I came up with:
5889 characters w/o spaces divided by 65 gives you 90.6 lines
6959 characters w/spaces divided by 65 gives you 107.06 lines
6959 characters w/spaces divided by 55 gives you 126.5 lines
Anyway, I am no math genius - and my husband helped me last night to figure out the percentage - but there was a 15.4% difference between 65 character line with and w/o - you will have to do the math yourself to figure out the % difference between your 55 character line - but w/o spaces you definitely lose and looks to be substantial difference when you factor in your 55 character line. Good luck!! It sure made our decision easier! :))
Winter wonderland in NH
I guess we are supposed to get about 10 inches. Its awful to say this but I had no idea it was even going to snow, I've been so busy lately working and doing errands that I haven't watched TV. It was a shock to me when my neighbor called and said the kids were getting out of school early today because of the weather, I looked out side and was like why, it wasn't even snowing :) Oh well, its the start of my weekend so I guess I can't really complain...stay warm!
Nope, it's seasonal. Aug. 31 through winter.

YIKES!!!Got our oil contract for this winter and almost passed out!!!
Last year I paid $845 for 600 gal of oil with a 2 months to pay. Yesterday, I recieved our contract for this winter and it would cost $1517!!!!! ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/angryfire.gif)
Guess who won't be taking the contract. That's ridiculous. The country is going to go broke at this rate. They want $759 for 300 gallons. That takes us 3 months into the winter, but......where do they think the seniors and others are going to get this money?
Guess old Mamma Bear is coming out of storage this year. Wood is no problem for us. We have a stockpile for the garage coal & wood stove and a friend that has 11 acres of woods he likes certain areas cleared every year.
I feel bad for others who have no access to another heating source.
Anybody go south for winter and continue working?
Hubby and I are thinking of going south for the first time this coming winter. I've found some sublets with internet access, mostly wireless, one wired. My work uses DocQScribe and internet based. I use a desktop computer for work but have a laptop capable of the job.
Have any of you done this? If so, what was your experience? Any tips or precautions as far as wireless internet security? At home we have a wired network with a hardware firewall/router so no experience with wireless. I'm not high tech but not a complete novice either.
As for paying bills and accessing cash in a different locale, did you use online banking and ATMs or some other method? I confess some hesitation about online banking even though most of my friends and neighbors have used it for years!
Thanks to anyone who can help. ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/thankyousign.gif)
We just signed up for our propane for winter.. It's gone up a dollar per gallon...
from last year. There is no shortage of propane as far as I know. They just raise the price because they can. We're paying 1.89 per gallon. Thank goodness we have 2 wood stoves, but I'm sure a cord of wood will double too. . You can't win.
Space heaters can be very expensive as I found out one winter
by just trying to heat my office and leaving the reest of house cold. The cost to use the space heater was more than the gas furnace would ahve been.
Ya know, winter doesn't officially start until tomorrow
And, I'm already tired of the cold,![](http://bestsmileys.com/winter/14.gif)
tired of all the snow, ![](http://bestsmileys.com/winter/21.gif)
but my kids love it and I can't move.![](http://bestsmileys.com/winter/22.gif)
Then consider the heat bill.....now I'm crying![](http://bestsmileys.com/winter/5.gif)
Only during the summer. Wild colored toe socks in winter.
;-D
Work some holidays - don't really mind during the winter months, but
when summer rolls around, I am at the beach on the holidays and do not work them. As an IC, we get nothing extra as far as $$ just the extra work.
Can't complain - have plenty of work all of the time.
I heard crickets til I realized it was winter. Was really the start of chronic
:=
i still use my fan even during fall/winter and turn it towards the wall but drowns out noises. nm

How are you planning to deal with the oncoming high winter heating bills?
I'll be bumping the thermostat back another degree or 2, down to whatever leveI I can not be cold at. Otherwise there will be less "fun" money spent if it has to go to the oil companies!
The HandEze gloves are nice w/the wrist support. I like them in the winter. Other brands to
s
I use regular thin winter gloves and cut the fingertips off. Works great! nm

I want my bread crumbs white so I let them dry up in the open overnight (winter brings low humidity)
a very good way not to waste stale bread (aside from pudding).
