My first cocker loved it under my desk and you couldn't get her out of there. I won't let my new cocker get in that habit because he won't leave my toes alone. Luckily, the golden thinks it is too hot in my office and seldom joins me. That's fine because he is always panting and that just heats the room up more.
I took the doors off a big walk-in closet in our bedroom and set up in there. Cozy, cute, out of

I think it's safe. We do it all the time. You
sit right there with them and watch everything they do as you talk to them. Once you terminate the connection, they can't get back in without your help and permission the next time.
Better safe than sorry - money aside - LM
Way, way back when I was a student in college & lived in a dormitory, I started with right-sided pain walking back from classes one day. Next morning I was doubled over in pain & running a fever. Roommate called our floor "House Mother" to get me some help & for some unknown reason she thought I was "faking" it when I said I couldn't go to my classes - got me no help & told me to go to my classes. Thank God for my roommate "who knew me" & knew I had never missed any of my classes & stood up to our "House Mother". My roommate just happened to have an older brother (a coach at the local high school) She called him - he came to the dorm, saw the shape I was in & carried me out to his car & took me to the campus hospital. After all their examinations - they shipped me to the city hospital & thankfully the doctor there felt it was imperative I have surgery & did so with phone permission from my parents - thinking I "did" have a ruptured appendix. Come to find out, I had a ruptured ovarian cyst, was hemorrhaging internally, & was a mess. I was 18 - they took part of my ovary & went ahead & took out my appendix while they were in there.
Simply put -if I had had pain for 3 days which was not improving - regardless of the price, I'd have it checked out. I'd rather pay $100 to find out nothing was wrong & have my peace of mind than suffer the possible consequences of ignoring it. You just never know!
If I knew I had done nothing strenuous or out of the ordinary for me to cause this pain, i.e., all of sudden from sedentary to working out 24/7, I'd check it out- immediately !!
I'd rather be scared & safe than sorry!
I have surge protectors & an APC battery back-up system; however, I have those so I will have an alarm & time to close my applications safely without loosing info during a storm (Hopefully). That being said -"I will not work during a thunderstorm/bad lightening." When my APC beeps - I backup & close what I've been working on, close all applications, log off & unplug everything!
NO - it's not safe to work during a thunderstorm/bad lightning!! Your time and/or comittment at work will have to play seconds to saving your life - & I'm not kidding that this is a possibility. Anything plugged into an electrical socket, including a phone, has the potential of being hit with lightning. I just won't risk playing with Mother Nature !! I've read of too many who have and have lost !!
OMG...these are hilarious...I think it's safe to say we all have So no real safe way to put...
a "bug" in their ear that you're available if they want you huh? Melatonin can be useful and safe for some ... BUT
there can be side effects. I used it several years ago to help with sleep problems and it did help, and I thought I'd finally licked the problem. Unfortunately, I began to suffer from depression, which I had never experienced before. Since the Melatonin was the only change I had made before the depression, I stopped it, and the depression subsided. I later learned that depression can be a side effect of using melatonin for some people. I hope this is not the case for you and that you are able to continue to enjoy the sleep benefits of melatonin. However, if you find yourself becoming depressed, consider that the melatonin might be the cause.
Is Red Bull safe? sm
Does anyone know exactly how it works chemically? Is it different than caffeine?
I am glad you are safe
You said: "I know the definition of an addict, and I, in no way, resemble or exhibit an addicts behavior."
I question whether you do know the definition of addictive behavior. Going away by yourself in a hotel room without telling anyone where you are in order to withdraw from opiates is not what most people would do if they do not have something to hide. Being a pain patient does not exclude one from becoming addicted.
The case I referred to was settled perhaps 2 years ago. In that case, the grandmother already had custody (not adopted) of the older 2 siblings by filing in court herself. In the case of the youngest child, he was premature, in a different county, and as the bio already had a history of not being able to take care of her children, the child was taken to the foster home the day he was released from the hospital. This grandmother is a kindergarten teacher and grandfather has classification clearance in the Air Force. Even though the grandmother had the older 2, they did not give her the opportunity to have the 3rd child. She hired lawyers and finally did everything herself by terminating parental rights (bios don't like having to pay child support to the grandparents!) and then was able to adopt the 3rd child.
The act gives the state 24 months (period) to close a case on children in state care. If the bio is not agreeable to giving custody to relatives, the case can remain open and the bio has the opportunity to go to drug rehabilitation, parenting classes, get a stable job and prove they can independently provide for themselves BUT while those children are in foster care, the clock is ticking. Some bios don't want to do all those things or cannot in that time frame. If the state realizes the bios are going to make the time frame, and no relatives are involved, then yes, the child can be adopted by the foster care. The case workers are overworked and under a lot of pressure to get cases closed so the state gets a good Federal score and gets bonus money...so yes, there are cases when it is easier to adopt the child to a foster parent than to relatives...then relatives have a fight they should not have to be fighting.
I knew when my GD was born that someday this was going to happen and I put myself in a position to be available and willing to take her. I listen to her night terrors. She asks why mommy doesn't call - I tell her mommy has to take a test (drugs) and then mommy can visit again. It can be maddening because now I have to supervise the bios visiting the child. No overnight visits. Some states require background checks on other people who may care for the child. Can't place her on my insurance as she is not adopted. I got state benefits and part of that means I have to take my own daughter to court to get child support (bio dud has his own court case). Some states make relatives become foster parents to keep their own grandchildren. I'm single so now I work 2 jobs. The state closed my case as it became a private petition. But whatever I go through, what she gives me is priceless.
How bad is that?! I've eaten leftover frosting after the container was opened so it "wouldn't go to waste," but I still have the cake mix to make cupcakes and am too much of a tightwad deep down to waste it like that...and I'm just not in the mood to bake nuthin' today.
So I ate a couple of teaspoons of straight-up honey and called it good. Grocery run...gotta make one!
Have you tried to delete program under safe mode? That is your best option right now.
Also, when you said you accessed task manager and you have 37 running, do you mean processes running? Because if you will under task manager, you have "applications, processes, performance, users, etc."
Oops, meant to ask first, what operating system do you have?
Let me know. I will be in and out of this site, so it may take me a bit to get back to you.
Going to safe mode now
Just found a site that walked me through how to try the safe mode route. Hope it works... I don't have my laptop backed up for work yet!
As for 37 task managers, that's what I meant, as if I had pushed ctrl/alt/dlt 37 times. Lots of other processes running, but 37 task managers open (that were not there before). I think the gremlins were having a party!
And I have Windows XP. Wish me luck and hopefully I'll talk to y'all tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.
I think you're safe.
I'm sure there's a possibility something could happen, but millions of people get theirs direct deposited so they must have some good security measures in place.
I've done the direct deposit for probably 6 years now and never had a problem. You get your refund much, much faster too.
Sure, nothing is 100% safe anymore.
It's only as safe as the technology you use and set up you have, which is constantly changing these days. But just because you are "wireless" doesn't mean you can't have a connection as secure as any other.
Try it in safe mode...sm
Shut down the computer. As soon as you turn it back on, begin pressing the F8 key repeatedly. You should come to a black and white screen with an option of starting in safe mode. Arrow down to this option and press 'Enter'. The computer will then start in safe mode. Try it from there. Hope this helps.
I feel like last man on the totem pole where I work. I will say it sometimes makes me feel like I get all of the leftovers from other people. They take what they want and I'm left to grab what's left, if there is anything left. It's also different rules for different folks. I get called on them if something happens but others do not. I keep telling myself, suck it up, do your own stuff, whenever you get it, and just keep on going. Don't worry about the others. The money is good and it's a great account, I just sometimes feel I am dumped on from time to time. You know, what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander, type thing.
Does anyone else deal with this? People are nice when things are going good, but if they're having a bad day, you get crapped on? I sometimes feel like a little kid with their words and treatment.
America voted and you are SAFE!
Hooray for Taylor baby!!!!!
know of any safe hairstyle sites?
I got a fatal virus last year from a hair site -- would sure like to look at hairstyles or 'try them on' without the worry. Thanks.
To each their own. It's safe. Thousands of people are using it.
Nobody said YOU had to.
Have you tried removing it in safe mode?
From a cold start, press F8 at 1-second increments until you get a DOS list of startup options. Once in safe mode, attempt to remove, then restart as you would normally and it should come up in normal mode. If you have xp, set a restore point first in case removing this program causes other programs not to work.
There are no safe parts of the country
Yours would be no different than mine. I watch news on TV and cannot believe when I hear someone say, I just cannot believe it happened in this neighborhood. Ridiculous! When I had children at home, no I paid for everything. I also worked my behind off - away from home by the way- because years ago, OMG, they actually had you to come into an office! I had no one to help me out. I did not start working from home until about 2005 so very doubable and I worked 2 jobs for years to make a living.

Hey RadGuy, do you give out your email address, or do you prefer to converse thru the forum only?
Hey RadGuy, for your big sis for
Christmas, make a donation to a charity and then give her a card saying that a donation has been made in her honor. Someone in need benefits from your donation, you get a tax write-off, and no worry about the "right" gift or even having to wrap the gift.
Hey, RadGuy
Why don't you invite the family to your house on Christmas Eve for drinks, coffee, and dessert? Just call everyone and say it's just a family get together from 7 to 9 p.m. (or whatever works).
I'm the youngest of a very large family, so I know where you're coming from, but you really have to tell your sister that you don't want to celebrate Christmas her way. Just because she was born before you doesn't mean she has the right to pull your strings. Take your life back!! Esp. since she ignores you the rest of the year - it's obvious she doesn't really care about any of you.
RadGuy
You really need a new family! What a bunch of characters. Have you considered writing a book? I thought my family was nuts, but we're boring compared to yours.
Point out to David that Jesus was not married when he died at age 33. Also ask him what Saint Paul had to say when people asked him about whether it was better to be married or stay single. RadGuy
Funny I always sort of had this feeling you were a cat man, but then you said your sister gave you catfood cans for a gift and you did not have a cat, so it is nice to know you at least once did and my hunch was right. I love cats, I hope you got yourself another one.
RadGuy & ALL
I will sincerely be thinking of you and how your making out with your dysfunctional family I would invite you to mine but it may not be much better but I am bound and determined to make it great because I have 3 new little foster kids that need a happy memory of Christmas, so were heading to KY to enjoy Christmas, let them be kids with the grandkids and start a new year and new life off hopefully. They;ll be spoiled with love and that's what Christmas is all about.
To all MT's and their families, hoping for happy times, lot's of love and a great new year.
Thanks RadGuy!
After reading the thread about LimeWire, I decided to give it a try. I downloaded it - and I am now enjoying some good tunes! Merry Christmas! LOL Radguy!
Oh Wow RadGuy
Thank's for the memories lol...that was 1 ex, 3 kids and before the grandbabies...made me feel younger than a day at the spa popping ibuprofenRadGuy
I didn't read the posts, but I read the after-posts and I think he should come back under his own name, no matter what. This board is a lifesaver to me and I acknowledge all that is positive. I think anyone who is "bullied" on this board has to come back and reap the benefits of those of us who are "true professionals," we don't judge. Perhaps he should just come back for a day and see how it works. I think he'd be happy he did. Be positive, professional and pure of heart. It works.You are SO RIGHT RadGuy!
The policies against disagreement - not talking about "trolling" here but honest and courteous disagreement - were stifling here. I am so delighted to find the instigators of automatic post banning gone - it is about time. I really hope that the new owners will not follow the same unfair and unreasonable (and sometimes very personal)patterns. I know exactly who you mean, too, RadGuy, when you mention the two who really drove this board into the ground - no decent administrator would have allowed this, not to mention participated in it wholeheartedly. And, if Admin needs any clues about who NOT to put in a position of responsibility around here, due to past bad behavior and unacceptable treatment of other responsible MTs, I'd say be very wary of those champing at the bit to "ban trolls" - these are the few who didn't exert influence on the prior administrator/moderator to ban trolls, but conspired to ban anybody they personally didn't like, regardless of how responsible the banned MTs were in following the rules of the site. I saw this happen many times over the years, and we lost a lot of lively and intelligent input on this site because of it. I guess we will have to wait to see how fair and equitable the new policies will be, but it's encouraging to know there is at least a chance now that everyone who behaves will be able to participate, instead of just the approved few.
think it might be diltiazem. Gonna flag it to be safe. Tx. NM

She took the safe way out. Rocky was fake and got caught
while the average joe is head over heels for this girl. Could go either way, he might enlighten her in that a good guy doesn't have to be a total hunk. Then again, she may be so shallow not to see that. I think her mom did make an impression on her decision though.
Just wanted to say STAY SAFE to my fellow Tx MTs. sm
I am in East Texas and although we don't expect the hard hit, very high potential for flooding, tornadoes, and power outages. Everyone take care of yourself and prepare if you haven't already.
and insist product(s) safe...see link...sm
BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Bausch & Lomb Inc. executives are at a loss to explain why some users of its ReNu contact-lens solution have reportedly developed serious eye infections, saying Wednesday that all tests run so far have shown the product is safe and effective.
46.96, +1.35, +3.0%) resumed their move lower, dropping 7% to close at $45.61.
In a conference call held with analysts, Bausch & Lomb's management defended ReNu with MoistureLoc, a popular eye-care product used to clean, disinfect and store contact lenses.
"Every additional test indicates the formulation is as safe and effective as anything else on the market," said Ronald Zarrella, chief executive of the Rochester, N.Y.-based company.
Bausch & Lomb rattled both investors and consumers late Monday, when it announced it was suspending U.S. shipments of ReNu with MoistureLoc due to reports that some users had developed a rare but serious eye infection called fungal keratitis.
The Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration are investigating 109 reports of fungal keratitis around the nation, but they've yet to conclude that the ReNu product is a cause. It was also unclear how many of the reported cases actually involved ReNu, according to the agencies.
While allowing that ReNu could be eventually be linked to the infections, Zarrella also emphasized that all testing to date has shown ReNu with MoistureLoc was safe and effective in combating microbes that can trigger fungal keratitis.
Bausch & Lomb also has been able to test bottles of ReNu solution retrieved from infected users, but found nothing out of the ordinary, he said.
"As far as theories, there's a lot of them, and we've run a lot of them to ground and come up with nothing," said Zarrella.
Fungal keratitis is a painful inflammation of the cornea that can, in some cases, lead to blindness. The infection, caused by a fungus found in the environment, can appear as a result of eye injury, improper use of contact lenses or contaminated contact-lens products.
Zarrella said that FDA officials were currently inspecting the company's Greenville, S.C., plant, where it produces all ReNu with MoistureLoc products for the U.S. market.
Zarrella also said that the company had no insight into how long the FDA and CDC investigations will take and whether it will eventually have to recall all of ReNu with MoistureLoc products from the U.S. market. At this point, Bausch intends only to stop shipping new product to retailers, not to reclaim bottles already on store shelves.
However, retail heavyweights Wal-Mart Stores (WMT :
43.27, +0.26, +0.6%) said earlier Wednesday that they were removing the product from their shelves, pending the outcome of the regulatory investigation.
According to the company, ReNu with MoistureLoc generated U.S. sales of about $45 million in 2005.
Analysts on the call voiced concern that the product alert could end up eroding sales of Bausch & Lomb's other eye-care products, which enjoy great popularity with consumers.
Zarrella responded that Bausch & Lomb intends to immediately embark on a new marketing campaign to promote the integrity of its products, adding: "We're going to convince consumers that our products are safe and effective."
The executive also announced that it was "unlikely" that the company will file its 2005 year-end financial report, or 10-K, with the Securities and Exchange Commission by April 30. Zarrella repeatedly declined to comment during the call as to why the company wouldn't meet that deadline.
over the internet? I hesitate to give out social security number and personal things on the net. Is it okay or not? Thanks
I second that, and thank you to all of our troops and men/women in uniform who help keep us safe.

Safe way of mailing printed reports?
I am currently transcribing and printing reports for a doctor, and pay a courier to go back and forth picking up tapes & dropping off printed reports. Have found a way for the doc to easily send me his transcription digitally, but they still want their reports printed and sent to them. The courier is kind of expensive to just deliver reports. Wasn't sure if Priority Mail with Signature Confirmation would be a HIPAA compliant way of sending reports? Or possibly a Fedex option? Does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive way of getting reports delivered (about 40 miles away) that would be safe and HIPAA compliant? Faxing is not an option, as most are printed letters and the fax quality is just not great. Would appreciate any thoughts/ideas at all. Thanks!
Does anyone use a space heater under their desk? Is it safe? sm
My computer tower is also on the floor under the desk, could this make the computer itself too hot? I get so uncomfortably cold working in my lower level of my house, so I bought a space heater, but I can't get it close enough to warm my feet up, I would like it under my desk. Safe or not? Thanks in advance.
