Any colored sputum makes me gag
I also had to put post-its over pictures of worms in my medical dictionary.
Well, of course there are other companies doing the same. Take off the rose colored glasses and
:P
Office Max has 25 colored copies free until 6/9. (nm)

Anyone try heated socks?
I have alot of trouble with arthritis and stiffness in my ankles probably from years of pressing a foot pedal and was thinking of trying battery operated heated socks, like they sell for hunters, fishermen, etc. Just wondered if anyone else has ever tried them and how they work. My poor feet hurt so bad tonight, I wish I had a pair here now.
Knock their socks off, Dizzi. (nm)

I just knitted a sweater & am knitting socks - still fat ,
I put a heating pad in front of my pedal on low. Socks don't work 4 me.

Just for giggles this winter sm
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.
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!!!!! 
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. 
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,
tired of all the snow, 
but my kids love it and I can't move.
Then consider the heat bill.....now I'm crying
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.
wild life
Lets just leave the wild life alone, ya know? *Man* has screwed enough up on this beautiful earth..Leave the wild life alone.
This is a wild guess
Do you think he means the children's cartoon character "Pokemon"? Maybe the patient thinks they're real, or maybe it's how he describes his family.
Wild stab
Assuming this is another MD who is reading a radiology report, I would expect he would say something along the lines of:
"Reviewing the CT scan, the current report demonstrates no free air or fluid, but the comment is really unchanged from previous CT scan."
That is just one possibility. Maybe if you are able to listen again, something will jump out at you.
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

remember when they used to have a wild card?
If you could bring somebody back with a wild card, who would it be? I'd bring back Chris.
I second that, Wild Blue works well (sm)
for me. Tried Hughes a few years back and it was awful but maybe they are improved now. Have had Wildblue for 2 years and it works pretty good.
Possibly Wild Blue?....sm
I don't live in Oregon, but am in rural western Washington. I know a few MTs who use Wild Blue and are happy with it, so that would be my only suggestion.
I did want to say that I have been using satellite for about three years now (a small local company), have been on no less than 4 different MT platforms, and never had any problems. Yes, satellite can be susceptible to extreme weather...but if you're in a rural area you're about as likely to have your power go out anyway in extreme weather!
Best of luck.
Wild guess, but might get you closer

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

I use regular thin winter gloves and cut the fingertips off. Works great! nm

Pretty wild, I have not had really anything happen since my mom died 09/26/04 except how Jen became
diagnosed with her Wilms tumor. The day prior to it she'd had her normal checkup and the doctor totally missed the tumor (hard to since it was huge, 15 x 11 x 5 cm...was not protruding though unless she was flat on her back and naked and then only a tiny bit), but felt if you palpated the abdomen. (Dr. cut my daughter's ear while trying to clean wax but failed to mention it to her what he was trying to do, messed up the rest of the exam since she was crying and freaked out from it) The very next day after her check up though, she fell off the kiddie see-saw (18" fall).....my husband likes to think my mom pushed her off, which subsquently caused a blood vessel on the tumor to burst, which made her pee blood, which got me to get her to the doctor's, who proto found her tumor. Had she not been diagnosed then, in the next week or so the tumor would have probably burst or spread or somehow not have been encapsulated anymore and things would have been a lot worse. So my mom helped her get treatment a lot earlier than she otherwise would have probably. I thinks it's nice to think about it this way.
Wild Blue satellite internet
Anybody currently using Wild Blue satellite internet? Any responses good or bad would be greatly appreciated.
Well, that's all folks. All gifts have been given. It's been a wild ride

Here is a great site and you can wild search
too if you can understand a portion of the name.

I also use WIld Blue and have no problems. Both my jobs are FTP, though.

My computer has gremlins! My mouse has gone wild. sm
Last night when I put my mouse over the "Start" button to shut down, it suddenly went crazy. It began moving all over the desktop, things started popping up, it was like a wild animal! I thought it was just a dirty mouse and cleaned it. When I booted up this morning, the same thing happened. Then it settled down, and it's working fine. Now I'm not sure if it's the mouse or the computer. I'm the same person who had the "wavy" screen yesterday. Has anyone ever had this happen? I'm getting paranoid, thinking maybe I have picked up some strange bug on the net. Any advice appreciated. Thanks so much for all the help.
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).
not sure about you, but we have several wild animal care and education centers...
The best way to start is to volunteer.
We have like Messinger Woods and Hawk Creek around here, like animal sanctuaries, where they have owls, eagles, deer, all sort of animals they need to take care of. You can always visit one and ask questions. I would love that, too, only I can not get my boyfriend interested. I would love to even volunteer.
Sounds funny, but what about a zoo...same thing, you can volunteer at first, see if you like it, and I believe those positions offer decent pay...?
Isn't that wild?!! At least a few people will be needed as MTs/editors in the years to come. nm

Yes, call your local vet, any vet, and ask for the wild rabbit rescuer in your area.
There is always someone nearly everywhere. If you can't find one, please write me and I'll search for someone for you if you're short on time. They are so worth saving. Mom might still be around. Let's hope so!
We did that for one summer...
It was the worst and we were both resentful of the whole thing. Once he found a great job, everything was better. A good man needs to work, that is just how it is. Now our issue is that because I am at home trying to work and be with the kids, I wind up working from the moment I get up to the time I go to bed. He gets home and relaxes, which really irks me at times, but I am the one who gets to do everything with the kids. I guess it all comes out in the wash.
since last summer
I just keep sticking with it but many days I am this close to throwing in the towel. There are some really nice people there though.
End of the summer, especially
worst time of the hurricane season. However, Aruba is supposed to be just outside of the hurricane belt so you should not have trouble vacationing there, unless you're cruising of course.
Dilemma! Tomorrow is picture day and my 5 yo just went wild w/a jug of blue food coloring --
both hands and the entire lower half of his face are now bright, royal blue.. Will this wash off by morning???
I would let DD go with Habitat for Humanity or a church mission, but not that wild party stuff.

Saute the innards with other veggies, wild rice, sun dried toms. then

Wild guess-borrow a wireless?? Go to an open wirless and work from the car if you have to?
Where there's a will there's a way - keep asking and keep talking, someone will help you. Ask the company you work for to help you out here, perhaps they have a plan for you if they value your association.
I never even got any time off this summer.
I worked more hours than usual instead of cutting back. Now, summer is almost gone, and I still can't take any time off.
Happy 1st day of Summer!
Any exciting destinations this year? I'm afraid I just don't have anything lined up except WORK. Ewww! 
Try $400 and summer has just begun... nm
