in sick to work, and GO TO BED!!!! I was in a car accident years ago and still had to show up for work the next day. I was miserable because it hurt so bad and I had to wear the soft collar. Honestly, what other profession expects people to work anyways if they're sick or injured? Cripes, even my old waitressing job let us take days off if we didn't abuse it. That's not the case with MT.

Ice and anti-inflammatories. SM
 I had medial and lateral and it hurt like I don't know what. I had to have the injection, instant relief of pain, but my arm was so weak. I had to go to PT too. They told me to do this: Get a styrofoam cup (small one) and fill it up with water and freeze it. Then you can just tear off paper and still have portion of cup to hold on to, and do an ice massage right there where it hurts so bad. Stay on the anti-inflammatories.
Antiinflammatory/anti-inflammatories???
Is this correct. I am getting different opinions and answers. First BOS says not to a hyphen for both...second BOS says hyphen all but have had editors saying no hyphen for antiinflammatory and a hyphen for the plural. HELP!
She came around as an anti-Britney, anti-Christina bad girl a few years back
http://images.google.com/images?q=avil+lavigne&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=ii&oi=imagest
and I like her music. At least it's really her music rather than some oversynthesized Britney crap. Christina can sing but she's too slutty. Avril is a nice in-between IMO. Hillary Duff is another person of that genre who actually has talent but doesn't act like a scumbag.
I got a call a couple of weeks ago, the #
was 777-777-7777 and the guy was obviously Indian. I didn't understand anything he said, told him so, and hung up. You can Google the # if you want to find out who it is, though a lot of times it isn't a real #.
allergy to muscle? ASR
ASR: Allergy to muscle. (Well, there's a reason not to work out).
Should have been allergy to amoxil. 
Perhaps she gained muscle mass SM
You can change your body compostition drastically and not lose or gain much weight if you replace a lot of fat with muscle. She said her clothes fit better so I am assuming that is what happened. Sounds like she is doing great to me!
Dear Muscle Stimulator. Brown:
The office manager did not find this funny at all. My boss and I did, however. That quick correct didn't last long.
Muscle relaxants could help also. I am on migraine medicine too but...
if it is caused by your muscles trapping the occipital nerve, injections would help, both diagnostically and therapeutically. They would then know how to proceed with your next step in treatment. The stimulator was a miracle until the lead wires moved. If the injections do not help, it rules out one type of headache and on to the next. I use Cafergot for my migraines with aura (a whole different headache altogether), but that has been discontinued now. I really wish you luck!
Deep muscle massage every other Friday-
Do a mix of cardio and muscle strengthening but note
there is NO such thing as toning your muscles! Tone is the resistance and tension your muscles have that you cannot control.
You either use the muscle you have or you create new muscle. The ONLY way to change your muscle mass is to create new muscle, which means tearing the fibers of your current muscle and growing new muscle fiber. To increase muscle mass you need to PUSH the limits of your current muscle mass. Creating more muscle mass increases your capacity to burn fuel/make energy (burn fat/increase metabolism). Also, this is measured in ounces, not pounds. Also, women in comparison to men have far less ease in increasing muscle mass unless hormones or steroids are involved. Really, ounces people. One more point, muscle fiber is muscle fiber. It doesn't turn into fat and fat doesn't turn into muscle. You create or lose muscle mass, you store or shed fat cells.
I could go on and on and on....so many myths out there about this kind of stuff. IMO, optimum exercise is a combo of cardio and weights. No pain no gain has some truth in it. If you don't push your body, and you only need to push it a little, you aren't doing much but using the muscle you already have and using the energy (burning the calories) you've taken in for the day and not the calories you've stored as fat.
I have 2 middle age couple friends. One couple became pregnant from condom failure.
This is not just "irresponsible" behavior! Both couples are "fixed" now, because for them, reliable birth control was NOT. But it's an error to assume this stuff happens to people who are unmarried or irresponsible. Both these couples are raising 2nd families, now, but it wasn't "irresponsibility" that did them in!
My right elbow is killing me. Feels like the muscle has torn.

I first started on PT, good way to start when you are green. Loved it, simple and good lines.
AVG anti-virus...
and also Microsoft's own Anti-Spyware are good. www.microsoft.com (downloads) and Google in AVG and go to their site...
What anti- anything are you running?
Kind of hard to know without more information. What antispyware and antivirus programs are you running first off? Have you defragmented your computer? Have you run your updates? That is why it is good to do the things it states in that tutorial, and yes, that is not the end-all site, of course. Like I said, others may have better ideas and sites, programs, etc. Sometimes, the companies we work with have us download software that our operating systems will not sustain well and make them unstable. Just a thought. Hope this helps. Let me know. Talk to guys tomorrow.
Not anti-AHDI but pro-US MTs
So, does anyone have any experience starting up groups such as this? Please contact me via email? I work full-time and then some - and don't have oodles of time, but my guess is we are all in this same boat (not having extra time). I would be willing to try to create something for us.
On a tangent - I really struggled over the years about the whole U.S. MTs versus "them." I truly believe we are such a melting pot and feel strong about not excluding anyone. I do not think the us VS them viewpoint is very positive. That being said, I do believe that one of the biggest problems in our economy today is that govt (both sides) let our jobs (of all kinds) go overseas so the corporations could make more money. This left Americans without jobs or having to retrain, etc. I have finally come to conclusion that I am not being exclusionary OR protectionist to want our government AND groups like AAMT to advocate for US first, for those of us who live here, create this economy, and who keep this country going.
In bringing up the idea of having a new group for MTs, I think it is important that we are FOR something (us) and not against something (AHDI, MTSOs, overseas MTs). This is only my opinion. Even though feel angry and disillusioned about what AHDI has allowed to happen, I prefer to find a more positive way to help ourselves. I'm not sure exactly what that is...but eventually it likely will require for us to be proactive and take steps.
Suggestions on how to get the tea party started? I'm willing if others are. Even if just a few of us brainstorming - the point is to set into motion something that gives us hope. Something that will eventually grow and help each other. MT Stars does this in its own way, by providing the avenue to be real and share the good and the not so great about our profession.
Please email me, let me know what you think. Or post here.
The tea party opens...

I certainly wouldn't let them be privy to that much info about me and neither should you. You can do something about it.
Hmm, so is Easter anti-biblical?
The word "Easter" itself appears nowhere in the bible because its roots have nothing to do with Christianity:
Easter is a time of springtime festivals. In Christian countries Easter is celebrated as the religious holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the son of God. But the celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that are pagan in origin and have nothing to do with Christianity. Scholars, accepting the derivation proposed by the 8th-century English scholar St. Bede, believe the name Easter is thought to come from the Scandinavian "Ostra" and the Teutonic "Ostern" or "Eastre," both Goddesses of mythology signifying spring and fertility whose festival was celebrated on the day of the vernal equinox. Traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. The Christian celebration of Easter embodies a number of converging traditions with emphasis on the relation of Easter to the Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach, from which is derived Pasch, another name used by Europeans for Easter. Passover is an important feast in the Jewish calendar which is celebrated for 8 days and commemorates the flight and freedom of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The early Christians, many of whom were of Jewish origin, were brought up in the Hebrew tradition and regarded Easter as a new feature of the Passover festival, a commemoration of the advent of the Messiah as foretold by the prophets. (For more information please visit our Passover celebration - Passover on the Net). Easter is observed by the churches of the West on the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or following the spring equinox (March 2I). So Easter became a "movable" feast which can occur as early as March 22 or as late as April 25. Christian churches in the East which were closer to the birthplace of the new religion and in which old traditions were strong, observe Easter according to the date of the Passover festival.

Has anyone tried Cymbalta? It is new anti-depressant
which I read speeds up a person - since I am soooo lethargic in my depression, not to mention the fact that in just under a year I have put on an enormous amount of weight (partly due to smoking cessation - I ate everything in site and then sat while working 70 hours a week, then, too tired to do anything much than the necessary).
Am age 48. Am on Paxil now. Thinking of going back on Prozac as it was a good med for me (I have low grade depression exacerbated by stress).
I wonder what the general concensus is on this new med. Thank you very much
A4tech anti-RSI model KB(s)-8
I've tried all the expensive ergonomic keyboards mentioned here in the past and never found one I liked. Back in the day, Keytronics made a great keyboard (some 15 or 20 years ago) but they aren't the same now. I've been using this A4tech anti-RSI KB(S)-8 for a couple of years and it is fantastic. I heard about it on another board and thought, how can it be that great when it's only $20? But it really is the best keyboard I've owned in 20 years. Plus you can program some of the keys to open programs or perform tasks, even keystrokes. The keyboard comes with a wrist rest, which is completely useless to me, but it comes off easily so that's not a problem.
Atech4 anti-rsi keyboard (sm)
KBS-8 (not KB-8). Under $20 bucks. Has programmable keys above the function keys that are great to bring up dictionaries and other programs at the push of a button. Very, very responsive, not noisy, great touch. The "KBS" series keys are at an A angle, the "KB" series at the regular keyboard angle. I love the A angle. There's nothing I don't like about this keyboard and believe me, I've spent big money on the best a number of times over the past 20+ years and have been unhappy or not nearly as happy as I am with this one. Not an unhappy moment with this one. Hard not to try for under $20. Can I say more? :)
why is AHDI so anti American MT
they seem completely out of touch with MTs, as evidenced in my personal experience and from reading so many posts on this board alone. I have never seen such misrepresentation of a profession...and they seem to have not even an inkling to bridge the gap; in fact, they seem to go out of their way to make the bridge even wider.
we need some representation on behalf of all MTs from the 'old school,' as we should be grandfathered in to any kind of mandatory certification, if it comes to that; but we definitely need an advocate on OUR side.
I see a lot of condescending remarks (and worse) from CMTs on this site against we "regular MTs" and it proves the point that there is a huge injustice going on with that organization and their disrespect of the 'little' guys here who are losing more and more money every year. I just heard overall American wages have dropped from $7500 a year gained from the 1990s to 2000 lower to date, and dropping, which is over 9000 a year. utilites are sky-rocketing, food prices, (need I go on?)...
now of ALL times to try to enforce any more financial hardship on MTs (while at the same time lowering costs for overseas MTs) not only shows complete lack of knowledge about the realities we face, but extreme disrespect toward us.
WE should be priority, not overseas MTs but US.
this is not a game people...this is serious, and no one should be able to mess with anyone else's livelihood in such ways as I have seen in this profession alone over the last decade especially.
anti-virus programs
AVG free was recommended to me by 3 friends of mine who work in the IT field and by the IT dept at both of companies I work for.
I run it, AdAware and Pest Patrol on a weekly basis.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
User friendly and it seems to work well. I run it twice a week.
Hope that helps :-)
AVG anti-virus is great and free!

Sorry, you're dead wrong. Nice try though.

A4Tech KBS8 Anti-RSI keyboard
I heard rave reviews about this "A shaped" keyboard layout and just ordered one. I never could get used to the split keyboards. Plus it was really cheap! With shipping, I paid a little over $19! It has 19 hot keys and is a multi-media. I'm hoping this is "the one." Anyone else use it?
you're welcome - actually it's anti-glare screen.
nutso me *l* - it's an antiglare screen *cyberslaps self* *lol*
What is the best anti-virus program for Vista?
As you know if you have Vista, it has a pretty good security system built right in, the Windows firewall and Defender antispyware. Is it necessary to go with a antivirus program with this system? Have never had good luck with them. Years back my computer crashed and it slowed it way down and actually brought more bad on board than did any good. What is a good one that is cheap or free and uses very little system reserves? I know this is kind of a technical question but any feedback would be appreciated.
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
Someone posted about a new anti-spyware program they had tested against several others - sm
and found it was better (or found more problems) than their existing programs. My computer has been a bit weird/very slow the last day or two, ran my SpySweeper (no problems) but I thought I would try this other one. However I cannot find the post. Can you either post it again or email me? Thanks.
I feel differently about the whole anti-Wal-Mart thing...
If you don't like them, don't shop there. If enough people don't like them, they'll eventually wither away. If the little mom and pop stores didn't charge so much, people wouldn't go to the big department stores instead. It's called competition and capitalism, neither of which are illegal. At one time there was an uproar over supermarkets? Are you still shopping for your bread at the bakery, your meat at the butcher, and your fresh produce at the vegetable man store? No, of course not, you go to the supermarket without any sorrow in your heart for the little grocer who was put out of business decades ago.
wrong. the virus protection and anti-spyware
are only as good as the updates and are NOT 100% all the time. NO program is 100%. Hackers are finding new ways to compromise computers every single day and no program can protect from all of them. The longer you are up and running, the more chance of being invaded. don't fool yourself into thinking antivirus and antispyware are fool proof, because they are not. You have to think smart and protect yourself too, by shutting down when not in use and allowing new updates to take effect. duh.
Any advice on the best anti-virus for home office??
I've got Norton 360 installed on my PC and kept getting a popup all day yesterday that said my PC was infected and that I should click "here" to download Personal Antivirus. Yeah right! I ran a Norton scan and it said my PC was clean, but this popup box came up over and over to the point, I had to call Dell because I couldn't download software from their site.
Anyway, I finally downloaded Malwarebytes (free version) and it found and removed 12 Trojans!!!
I'm definitely going to keep the Malwarebytes, but need a really good anti-virus. I've done my research, but have read good and bad about all of them. AVG 8.0 didn't have the good reviews that the 7.5 had, but I found out last night that AVG 8.5 is now out. Anyone use it?
Norton sucks! As soon as I find a decent AV program, it's gonesky!
Thanks!

well being more anti-eric or cappy, i would prefer kaysar to come back but not to win.
I really would like Howie to win as he is the most entertaining. So cute and so funny.
try OTC cortisone anti-itch or Gold Bond cream first?

Great free anti-virus and antispyware programs...
Oh, also... you do need to make sure that you have a great antivirus and anti-spyware program running at all times on your computer. I personally use AVG free version antivirus and SpyBot Search and Destroy for spyware. Check with the repairman you just used for a reliable site to download these (or what he recommends you use) and instructions on how to run them. They have saved my behind numerous times since my crash. (Didn't have them before.)

LOL, maybe you should stop reading anti-Bush blogs because you're wrong.

Wrong. That is why you have virus protectection and anti-spyware. To protect 100% of the time.
:P
For tired eyes, get an anti-glare screen to put on monitor. Amazing difference. I had

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Tech question. I have discovered spyware on my PC. It is blocking me from using anti-spyware softw
and fix the problem. I need help! Any ideas on how to locate the offending program and get rid of it. I downloaded Ad-Aware in an tried to run it and it's blocking that too and my McAfee is being blocked as well. I cannot run a scan at all.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
i take a couple but i too wonder if it's
the mind over matter thing working. i take flax oil capsules for my skin and i can definitely tell a difference if i stop taking it. grape seed plus (antioxidant), i can't tell one way or the other if it works. my neurosurgeon suggested glucosamine for the aches of joint surgery and the grape seed extract because he thought it was pretty good. i stopped the glucosamine because after 2 months i didn't feel any different.
i have been buying the least expensive or whatever is on sale so that might have a lot to do with the results. i would love to find a great energy source!!!
I use a couple..
I have two of the Olay Regenerist products. I like them. I especially like the thermal skin polisher, calls itself a "mini-peel treatment".
