I bought one of those $60 bagless Dirt Devil Breeze vacuums at
K-Mart, and I hate it. It's loud, difficult to push around, messy to empty, and causes shoulder pain. It was kind of a vacuuming emergency because we had just had new carpeting put in and my Electrolux wasn't working. It cost $29 to fix the 15-year-old Electrolux, so the Dirt Devil is just collecting dust. I love my Electrolux, but I got it for free. I won't pay an arm and a leg for a vacuum.

I love my Bissel bagless that I got for $40 at Wal-Mart...sm
does a great job with our animal hair, bunny rabbit shavings she kicks out of her cage as well as other carpet stuff.

Oh, you mean the devil dog? sm
He's much better now, a whole lot calmer than those pictures! Of course he is still a terror but those two dogs are like 2 peas in a pod. They don't do anything without the other being right there. In fact, I think they love each other more than they love us! My poor Tasha never showed any symptoms the day she had her stroke, either, except she had a real strong, bad odor about her that day. I often wonder if she had a brain tumor. Whatever it was, the vet had said it was severe brain damage and my decision to put her down at age 14 was the best and I won't ever regret that.

devil's advocate
Devil's advocate, you need to quit catering to the little whiners and let them stand on their own two feet once in a while and realize that life is not ALWAYS, ALWAYS about them. You sound like someone who caters to their every little whim and likes to protect them from all the "meanies" of the world, and very likely you would think that included me, because I'd like kids these days to be more independent and not so reliant on their doting, catering, overly protective nannies -- oops i meant mommies. Yeah you have a point, but it's a small one, and you are missing the BIGGER point, which is what the OP indicated by having an independent vacation. Get real.

I just bought a Bissel bagless - reasonable @ $129. It gets the job done
I have a golden retriever - it picks up every hair and hair ball. So far, so good.

have not purchased
No have not purchased another house but am moving out of state, going to rent for 6 months to see if we like the area before buying again but wanted to move over the Christmas holidays to make it easier on the kids changing schools. I am not sure I want to buy again because am a single mom in my 50s and it is getting to hard to keep up with things that need done

I purchased one of these (sm)
laptop stands and it has been great - http://tinyurl.com/2uwhkz. It allows me to elevate my screen, which is necessary when working with a separate keyboard in order to keep the screen at eye level and arms/wrists at proper angles. If your chair does not have a height adjustment, you may want to consider one that does. Stretching, of course, is important, too. I'm thinking about getting an inversion table to help with my neck...we'll see

. I also have an elliptical which I use usually halfway through my day for around 30 minutes to exercise my legs. If you want to do some quick exercises in the house, you may find it nice to workout with pilates DVDs. It breaks the day up nicely.

for what god gave her in beauty, the devil gave her in insanity.
she is one scary chick to be raising kids.

You must have purchased them a few sizes
'cause you are really wiggin' out.

I actually purchased this last year (sm)

It's really a neat little program that acts like an alphabetized notebook where you can add entries for quick reference ... say you can't ever remember how to spell certain words, you can add those words and bring up TLRN and look up words you've added. You can create multiple notebooks with different facts/data/addresses or whatever. I found that I never used the program as I had other methods that reminded me of words, i.e., my expander, for one, and I already have tons of programs loaded and running in the background while working that the last thing I needed was another program running behind about six or seven already loaded.

I purchased an HP computer and
(per companies requirements). The new computer does not have a serial port and therefore I am using a 9 pin to USB converter which works well with my old system but will not work with the new system. Has anybody comes across this when purchasing a new system recently? HP is unable to help me and so I am turning to fellow MT's.

I also purchased an adapter...sm
Staples also carries these adapters. I had to convert to a USB port as my newer pc did not have the port I needed either.

If you only purchased the upgrade, NO. sm
If you purchased Office 2007, YES you can install it separately.

Heartland is finally purchased...

Spheris purchases Heartland Information Services.. more to come later in the week

I purchased it through Transcription Gear
express scribe thing yet. Have too much work today to fiddle much with it. I appreciate everybody's advice and help on this.

i purchased it directly at stedmans.com (nm)

I recently purchased the Stedman's (sm)
Medical & Surgical Equipment Words. Can you tell me the difference between this and The Surgical Word Book? Thanks.

Had same problem - purchased a 'hub'
store - cost about $80. It has a serial port and additional USB ports. Have used this for 3 years now. Can also use it for all the peripherals you don't have enough ports for on your computer.

Has anyone ever purchased Jon Knowles' list. ...
of abbreviations for medical transcription that can be downloaded into ShortHand or IT, and if so, is it worth the $45? I have been considering it and think it would be worthwhile but would like opinions. TIA.

I recently purchased a 23-inch...
Phillips LCD flat screen TV to use as a computer monitor. The TV price was relatively the same as a computer monitor of the same size. Definitely go as big as you can afford...you won't be sorry!

MedQuist was recently purchased

I just purchased the ABCZ glossaries for IT sm
A few weeks ago, and I am glad I did. It was definitely worth it. I like that I didn't have to start over from scratch to start following a system. I used his files and then used the workshop to convert my enteries over to the ABCZ system. It has been a big help to me. With 2 small kids I didn't have the time to try to figure out my own system and start creating the entries, so ABCZ was perfect for me.

Still using my "old" IBM keyboard purchased, I think, around 1990.
I totally panicked when it started going haywire & finally found a company that will repair them, have their own "clone" IBM's which aren't "too" bad, and also have the cord you were searching for.

I bought "their" clone while they repaired my original IBM, and it was pretty close to the touch of the original - but still just not the same. Then a few years ago, my son became aware of my dilema about searching for IBM keyboards -and, Geez - his company had one made by Lexmark back in their supply room - but without a cord -

If you're interested - try looking at http://pckeyboard.com/repair.html -- Repair services are through Unicomp out of KY - 1-800-777-4886, Jim Owens, Ext. 202.

I've been very happy with their service and I, personally, am surprised at what they charge. I purchased their "clone" & the cord for the IBM by Lexmark for $42.69, and their charge for repairing my original IBM was $35.44.
To, me - it's worth it!! Plus - their repair to my original didn't affect the "touch". They replaced key tops, corrected keys that were messed up, i.e., "s" key & others not working, replaced split "attached" cord - but didn't mess with my "feel".

Hate to admit how many "ergonomic" keyboards I've tried. Guess I'm just "too" old, set in my ways, & need my clicky-clack keyboard to keep my rhythm & fingers going.

Does anyone know how to reset a DVI? I purchased one at a yard sale and *sm*
it did not come with a manual. I am trying to use it for the first time and the dial tone comes up but it is asking for a log in ID. I would also like to purchase a manual if anyone has one. I do believe I can go to the DVI website and ask about purchasing one but that will not help me throughout the weekend in trying to figure out what do do now! Assistance is greatly appreciated!

I purchased BOSE head phones
and it was the best investment I ever made. I got tired of replacing headsets. You can get BOSE earplug ones or the over the head. I have both and prefer the over the head. It is amazing what I can hear now. Just wonder what I might have missed in the past before BOSE.

I purchased Office 2003 at Amazon.com.

I purchased that book and it was useless. I think half the stuff in it was old. *sm*
My son told me that he thinks every useful thing has already been invented unless it is technology related. Sometimes I think he is right and other times I refuse to believe that every idea has already been invented. I am envious of the women on Oprah who are making a million dollars from a brownie recipe or an umbrella company. Sometimes I wish I could write a novel or a children's book that would be a best seller. I know people that sell one item on ebay such as golf clubs and are making their living doing that. I have never been able to find a popular enough item at wholesale cost to make a living at it. I do have an idea that I think would go over well in a shopping mall (the idea has been used before but it has never been in a shopping mall) but I do not know where to go with getting it past an idea. My biggest drawback is that I have no imagination and no real talent other than I am a hard worker and have moral values.

Thanks. I purchased a three way plug last night and it appears to be working and yes for the-sm
poster above it does have a filter on it but the way it plugs in I needed the extra plug so I could still be connected to the computer for my fax to work. Thanks again for the help.

I've purchased them at both Radio Shack and on Ebay. sm

If I remember correctly, they're called earbud cushions.

A variety of them can be purchased online here:

Power supplies are Dell proprietary and must be purchased from
power supply is the same way. I have 3 Dell laptops and a Dell PC and there are indeed a number of items that are proprietary. However, I love all of my Dell products and wouldn't trade them for anything.

It is my guess you are the same person who posted a few weeks ago that MQ had been purchased. Nothi
it is my guess nothing will come of this.

don't need to depreciate computers anymore. take the deduction in the year purchased

I've purchased one laptop and one desktop system used/refurbished, sm
...both from that place I mentioned, and you wouldn't know them from used. I used the laptop happily for many years (still have it, though it's quite out of date now), and the PC is going on it's 2nd year with no problems. You do have to be careful when buying used, but if you're dealing with a reputable site that has a good rep, it's usually not a problem at all and the savings can be tremendous.
