I am on the verge of tears because I want to do this, I know I can do this, but something is keeping me from being my best.  Yes I have kids...6 mos and 7yrs.  I thought it was the kids distracting me as well, but I called myself adapting a routine with them where I had uninterupted time to type, but I still seem to make a mistakes now and then. Don't get me wrong, I'm not just horrible where every single report will be riddled with typos.  But like I said for every 10 I type, 3 will have one or two errors on them.

 I don't think I'm rushing...I read my reports after I do the spellcheck and then read along afterwards while listening to the recording.....and it still happens.   They are always errors that spellcheck can't pick up, which is why I'm frustrated.

I've only been doing this for a few months, and it wasn't like this in the beginning, only when I started to get the dictators who couldn't make up their minds or were difficult to understand.  I find myself spending so much time listening, so that there are no blanks, that I am missing the obvious stuff.

I have been unable to access, since last night, a website (Weightwatchers.com) and/or its forums that I go to regularly. I have friends that are able to access it so I am wondering what I might need to do to "clean things out" on my computer in order to get back to the web site.

TIA.

Doctor dictated despite the fact that he had a tremendously BAD phone connection.  I can only hear a word every few sentences, the rest is loud humming and static.  I have a KOSS equalizer that didn't help at all.  Anyone know of a miracle program or something that might salvage this recording, as he doesn't want to re-dictate it?  THanks! 

one every time.  Right now we are without a dishwasher.  I use a dishcloth for dishes and a dishcloth to clean countertops/table  - or will sometimes use a paper towel.  I also use bleach or an antibacterial cleaner about once a week.

Never, ever use a sponge.  If you use a scrub brush need to at least dip in bleach every day that you use it. 

I can't remember where it was, but in the last couple of months I saw a show like 60 minutes and it was talking about how dirty a kitchen is, especially in comparison to your bathroom, and it was enough to make you sick, in more ways than one. 

or you can do what I did, I waited until the Logitech mouse (originally was about $70) came down in price to about $20 or $24 and bought one.  You never have to clean them inside and you don't need a mousepad.

I eat and drink at my desk, as I'm sure most of us do.  And of course, crumbs fall, drinks drip, and there's the dust.  I was just wondering what everybody else uses to clean their keyboards.  I have tried canned air to blow out the crumbs and then use alcohol on the surface and stick Q-Tips down in all the crevices and between the keys.  Just wondered if there was some miracle solution that would make it easier and less time consuming?

My keyboard is getting nasty down under the keys.  The vacuum used to do the trick, but now some dust, crumbs, and Lord knows what else remains in the bottom of the tray.  If I unscrew the screws on the bottom, will that allow me to lift the top off?

I figured I would ask, because I often do things like that only to end up with the wrong part coming off or nothing at all happens.  (I hate that.) 

Any tips appreciated!

And I hate shoes. I guess I need to be more dedicated. Just working on my hot spots every day would do me a world of good.

I work 7 days a week and used to have a gal come in twice a week until the place got back to normal....then once every 2 weeks after that. Had to pay $10/hour, so had to work twice as hard to pay her.

Finally had to let her go in September last year and the place hasn't been the same since.  Trying to get my savings back up so I can hire somebody again.  I have no closets but 1 in the whole house and no place to hang coats, etc.

I cleaned really good last week and was surprised it only took me 3 hours, but that's 3 hours I could be making money to save up to hire somebody. Everyone in this area are private people. There are no services like Merry Maids.

Hi,

I have a cloth office chair that is fairly new.  Lately, I noticed it's getting a bit of those little tufts (for lack of a better word) of fabric on the seat.  I had used a towel to cover the seat for awhile but it was more hassle than it was worth.  I was wondering how I can get this cleaned up and how I can prevent it from happening again.  TIA

Made good money.  They were very appreciative folks and even gave us a $100 tip at XMAS time.  Mind you, we were working for a contractor.  Would have made more if we were the contractor.  No shame here.
