Going in the summer or the fall? If the fall, you need to be there early enough while the colors

No, but it is hard not to fall in love with a house. sm
Glad you will be able to back out of this, though. There will be another house for you, without the previous damage. good luck.
October 9th.
And Happy Indigenous People's Day!
Autumn, October
Actually, Snopes says it is in October.

October bonus
First of all, this whole thread is just a "what if." There has been nothing coming out of corporate indicating that quarterly bonuses will be cut out. With the new pay structure they are working on, maybe, maybe not, but it is just speculation. If in October they decided to cut them out they'd still have to pay the October bonus anyway because it is for work in July through September and they would be contractually obligated to pay you bonus on work already completed.
Lost my dad in October...still crying every day...could use some help (sm)
I just feel like I don't know what to do anymore. I'm 43 and lost my dad (78) back in October. I miss him so much. I still have times every single day when it hits me. A little memory will come back, and I'll just have the punch in the stomach feeling. I'll type something in a report that will remind me of those final weeks and just feel sick. Just now, I was just going along, doing my work, and out of the blue I remembered how he always had to take his pills with yogurt or applesauce, and I could just picture him, and I started crying again. We moved out of my home state 7 years ago, but before that I worked with my dad, just the two of us, for 13 years in his printing business. He would call me nearly every day, still, whenever he had a problem or needed help with a computer issue or something. Sometimes I'd get irritated because after not working on some of the stuff for years, I couldn't really remember some of these things. Now, I'd give anything for one of those phone calls.
Anyway, I normally wouldn't post this kind of thing, and I know there is an Emotions/Depression board, but there is more activity here and I'm feeling like I need some advice from those that have been there. I don't really talk to my husband about it too much. I usually have these times during the day or late at night when I'm alone. I just try to keep it pretty much to myself. Our neighbor lost his wife back in July and he is over here pretty often. He still is having a rough time, and my husband has made comments about how it's probably harder when it's your spouse. In a way, it made me feel like maybe I'm letting this go on too long? I have my dad's pictures by me and I wonder if maybe I shouldn't because they too make me cry. I guess I just don't know. I just know that every day I just miss him so much and have to stop and cry and I don't know if I need to go see somebody, or this is going to get better and pass, or what.
Inquest will be October 23rd.....sm
As of the news now, Daniel's death is very suspicious. The 3rd person in the room was Anna Nicole's attorney. They say now that the child did not have a heart attack nor was he on antidepressants as originally disinformed to the public. There will be an inquest on October 23rd.
I feel bad for Anna Nicole and her mother. Losing a child is probably THE WORST!!
If someone owed me money since October, I would tell them that I
was not doing any more work for them until they paid me. Hope you did not do the stat for them.
colors
I have found light peach background with dark brown text to be very helpful.
Hate to disappoint you - quit S in October!
.
Me, too. I quit smoking in October 2005.
Time to lose weight, although we had tons of food out yesterday.
Rule of thumb in the NE is October & April when
the time changes. Daylight Savings starts in April and Standard Time in October. It always works for me. Change all the clocks and change all the batteries.
For those who haven't done so yet, though, better get changing. 
I worked for them 5 years (left in October).
I enjoyed working for them. I was making a more than comfortable living with them. I had good steady accounts and a wonderful management team.
I worked on the 3.5 CTS (former Total eMed) platform.
Your question, however, is not specific enough for you to receive sound information on.
Beware of anyone who makes vague gripes. Complaints that are legitimate have specifics in them.
One person's opinion of what is good or bad is not another's.
What screen colors do you use?
What screen colors are easiest on your eyes? I read somewhere that shades of lavender/purple actually caused the least eye strain. (I'm assuming no color blindness!) I've been using black text on white background for a long time, but I'm getting old, the bifocals slip on my face, and I'm trying new colors. Just wondering what colors most MTs use to prevent eye strain.
my true colors
Yeah if Mexicans coming in the US illegally and me as a taxpayer having to pay for them to freeload over here makes me a racist and I am showing my true colors then hey I guess I am racist. It is not right. That is why they are known as ILLEGAL aliens. If they would go about it the RIGHT way and become citizens and get jobs and try to better themselves then it would be different but I have a first hand view of what they do and most of them do it. They come over here and try to get all they can for nothing. Yeah I probably would want to come over here but they can do it legally and try to better themselves not be moochers. My parents gave this "little mexican girl" a place to park her camper and asked for no money for rent only utility to be paid. My parents had to ask her 3 times for a utility payment when she has a job and had the money. She expected to live for free off my parents. Dont ask how she got a job because she is illegal and finally admitted it when my mother pressed her. Maybe it was a job where they dont check I don't know. My parents have tried to give and be nice to this girl but she continually takes advantage.
Screen colors
Changing screen colors through the control panel will not change anything on any other computer. That's just nonsense.
Your coworkers sound as though they changed the font color and background color ON THE DOCUMENT itself using the formatting commands. That's the only way a change would transfer with the document itself.
Changing it with Barb's method will give you a glaring blue background with white text. You can't get aqua that way.
You can change your colors in Windows. Start, Control Panel, Display, then choose a color scheme in Desktop. Get as close as you can with one of the ones provided, then adjust the color of the background. You can invent your own if you're not happy with any you see there.
Software comes with built-in instructions now. Just click "help" on the toolbar.
Different pastel colors in a plaid.

All the different colors of correct-tape!
Sure does bring back memories. I remember sitting at my Selectric in my basement when I was a newbie back in 1975 crying my eyes out because I had just finished a 3 page report and the doc wanted me to insert a paragraph at the beginning of the report! There was no "memory" back then and the whole thing had to be retyped just to add one paragraph! I remember them fondly, but am much happier with my computer! Thanks for the walk down memory lane, though!
Horses change colors.....
Didn't ya see the Wizard of Oz? LOL
Plastic shoes that come in many different colors, and several
different styles. Very popular with medical personnel who are on their feet all day. Google Crocs.
Here's a site for NC cottonmouth colors:

changing background colors
1. Click on Start | Control Panel | Display | Appearance | Advanced
2. Cick in the White box that says "Windows Text"
3. Under Item you'll have Window and under Color 1 you'll have you're bright white.
4. Click on the down arrow and either pick one of the colors you see or click on Other.
5. Click on the white box (lower right) and on the far right a bar will appear that goes from bright white to black. Click down the bar a little bit at a time until you get the color you like. You'll see the colors change in the COLOR box. When you have the color you like, click "Add to Custom Colors" and then click OK. Click OK twice more.
You have now changed the display on your screen alone. Whoever you send the file to will see it according to their settings.
The colors set on your computer pertain
only to you. It comes into the MTSO at however they have it set.
Click the More button on the colors tab so you can
further customize the color in the right window.
I am just wondering since MQ ASR rate reduction starts the 1st of October how many have opted out
of ASR and how many are just going to continue to do the ASR. I wonder how much work they will push on ASR now with the rate reduction. Watch the accounts fly on ASR.
I was thinking with ASR for MQ. They have dropped the line rate 2 cents as of October 1. Now, if
we get a lower line rate starting January 1 based on incentive then I expect the ASR 2 cent reduction will be based on that new line rate so it would actually be lower than it is now assuming they lower our new pay plan rates and I am sure they wont raise them. I wonder how this will play out.
Brighter colors do fade over time and I could
that is 12 years old.
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...
Some of the craft stores like Michael's carry them in funky colors, too. nm

It was wonderful outside. The butterfly bush is covered with butterflies of all colors. nm
:)
I changed the background and text colors in the Windows appearance settings.
It does not transfer to anybody else. The colors you see on your screen are going to depend on your video card so only you can play with the colors to find one that is soothing to your eye.
Ugh.... Please don't fall for ....
this boloney! I firmly believe that WE are creating this explosion in cases of ADHD. The child is FOUR YEARS OLD and not developmentally ready for "school work." In my day we went to kindergarten as our first school experience. The emphasis was learning to be part of a group, socializing appropriately, listening to the teacher, retelling stories, and basically learning HOW to be a student. We didn't even start reading until 1st grade. I was reading at 2nd year college level in the 9th grade. I know that's not how it's done anymore, but it should. A child that age learns through play. A few kids pick up reading at 4 or 5, but it shouldn't be forced. Some kids don't blossom with reading until 2 grade, and it's perfectly okay. Studies show that children pushed early on academics compared to children who are not pushed are equal by about 3rd grade, showing that the early pushing does nothing long-term towards academic success. Reading TO your preschooler, providing stimulating play, and opportunities for socialization with other children is all they need. I would personally find a preschool that has that belief as opposed to pushing the academics. Your child was a newborn baby 4 years ago and now she's suppose to be doing worksheets and learning to read and do math? I don't think it's right.
It was 24 yrs this fall, though no all of that is MT nm

Fall is my favorite
Summer is too hot!! Fall is just right and football starts!
Another vote for fall

Fall TV shows
I love to watch House. It comes on the Fox channel. It was on Tuesday's last season. Not sure yet when it will be on coming up on the new season.
Now that fall is here and I'm having to use heat my
face is dry and itchy. I've started using a humidifier to add moisture in the air, but I need a lotion too. I have very sensitive skin too. I've used several OTC lotions and they haven't helped much. Looking for a good moisturizer for all over, but mostly for the face.
Yes, but only after I fractured it off in a fall. sm
Had a Colles fx of the radius, too. Now, if I rest my wrist the wrong way, I feel the ulnar styloid pain. You probably should get yours checked out to see if anything can be done to help. I truly feel your pain!
Fall Branch, TN, but...sm
Florida bound if we ever sell this farm!
Wow, hair fall???
I have some problems, but sure can't attribute hair fall to MT work?!!! Have that checked out, please!
My problems are: Aches and pains here and there, swollen ankles/feet (sometimes severe), and I do believe my eyesight has changed some in the past few years due to computer usage.
No fall out from me, I agree with you
People that are complaining are the ones from home, started out at home, after graduating from an online school that promised them the big bucks. Get real training (2-year degree), train at a hospital first, get your lines up, and then venture out on your own. I bet that is how the non-complainers on here did it. They were confident in their skills and line count before trying to venture out on their own. If I had done an online school, worked at a national for a year, made 100 lines an hour, I would think this career sucks too! So instead they are here crabbing. If I spent as much time on these boards complaining about the industry, I wouldn't be making any money either. Get over it, quit complaining, and get to work! I didn't even know our industry "sucked" (as so many people think it does) until I came here and read posts. Get over it or get out! It is sooooo getting old hearing about it. Same crap, different day! Can anyone tell me about an online forum where the real professionals are. I can't handle MTStars anymore. Good bye!
I fall into that category
I've been at this over 25 years. In its heyday, I have W2s showing 65-70,000. Yeah, I worked easily 55-60 hours a week, but at least I felt I had something to show for it. I'm putting the same hours at the desk, but only making a third of it now, between the lowered wages and the lack of work. I'm too old to learn an entire newly career (I'd be dead by the time I finished any lengthy course), nor do I make enough money to pay for anything; most of the time I have a hard enough time keeping the utilities on, let alone the money for classes of any sort.
I don't where the $31,000+ is being made for an 8 hour shift 5 days a week, but please point me in that direction.
How much did your income fall?
NM
Ever heard the old saying if you dont believe in something, you'll fall for anything? while you sit
people are having true experiences that make them have hope and belief that there is something more out there. With that attitude of yours, you're going straight to limbo!
Kids don't fall out of the sky, sweetcheeks. nm

never thought I would say it, but can't wait for FALL
It is so hot here in Ohio. The temperature can be in the high 80s or 90s but with the humidity, it puts the heat index up in the hundreds. You can't even walk outside without feeling like you can't breath. Can't wait for fall with the cooler air and the falling leaves. We are holed up in the house with the curtains closed and the shades drawn and the air cranked. Hot where you are?
Anyone have any fall TV shows you are looking forward to?
Two of my favories: Judging Amy and American Dreams, have both been cancelled. I'm down to ER now - can anybody point me at something that I should be watching? No HBO at our house, just regular satellite programming, broadcast channels. I started to get into Everwood last spring....
