There is a trick
I did a concrete patio painted a couple of years back. We etched it first, which I think is supposed to be an important part of keeping the paint from peeling. After applying the concrete paint (which was bought at Lowe's), we waited the required time and put a sealer on it. So far, no problems.
Just an idea you might like -- we took all different shapes of leaves and did some concrete paint on them in a contrasting color and pressed them down around the edges to "pretty" it up a bit. We get tons of compliments!
a little trick
The > points right - more right-handers. The < points left - less left-handers.
what's the trick?
Could you please share with us or e-mail me what the trick is??? I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts!!!
Thanks!!!
Is this a trick everyone knows but me?
Maybe it's got to do with the way my pools were set up at past places, but I never got to see the entire body of work to pick what I wanted. At my current place, I get 2 jobs at a time that are automatically routed to me, I assume by computer. Once again, I have no look at what is out there. Theoretically, I guess I could return a job to the pool and take the chance that I'll get something better, but there is also the chance that I'll get something worse and that my repeated rejection of jobs while come to the attention of someone, bring their wrath down on me. I can spot sneaky a mile away, but I apparently never mastered the art of executing it.
Trick or treat
Since we have a Doberman, I doubt it will be a problem.
good trick
Thanks for the tip!! This is off the subject but I have seen other posts like from Mimi that end with "nm", what does that mean? Thanks
This is a neat trick, if you don't already use it...sm
I'm sure many of you have heard of this already, but for those who haven't...it sure helps me when I'm typing AND reading back over my work. You can hold down the control key and turn the roller wheel up a notch on your mouse to enlarge the print on your screen. Then just hit control and scroll it back down to make it smaller again. This has made it "easy on the eyes" for me. Hope someone can benefit from this as I have!
The trick for cc: in AutoCorrect is to use a ; or /
in front of cc in the replace box so Word will back up and change the cap to lowercase. It's a lot faster than AutoText.
;c expands to cc:
Can someone help with an internet trick...
If I was looking on the internet at something and saw an address to respond to, I could click on the email address and it would pop open a box in my yahoo and put the address right in the "compose" a message part of my yahoo mail.
A couple of days ago, this feature stopped working, and now I am cutting and pasting the email addresses off of the internet and pasting them into my yahoo mail.
Does anyone know how to get this feature back.
Thanks!
Get a Hiney Buster! That will do the trick! nm

Turning the control off did the trick. sm
I don't even need the convertor now. The plug-in downloaded and my GP plays the dvf files just fine. Wow!!! I can't thank you enough.
Thanks, thanks, thanks!!!!
Hey, cool trick for log keeping. Can you tell us how you do it? :) nm

another trick of the trade for soundalikes
that's a good idea; but to avoid extra Keystrokes and loss of productivity by deleting the glossary def entry you could also make *mental associations* for soundalikes, e.g. dysphaGia pertains to the Gut vs. dysphaSia pertains to Speech; ILlicit is ILlegal vs. Elicit Evokes; ilEum pertains to Eating vs. ilIum pertains to sItting... well, you get the idea! =)
An accent trick that helps me...
After spending way too long trying to figure out an allergy one night that was pronounced as s/l fee-oh-REE-nul and which turned out to be Fiorinal, I started double-checking and realized that East Asian (India, Pakistan, etc.) and Arabic language dictators will often incorrectly accent the 3rd syllable if the word happens to naturally be accented on the 2nd syllable.
So when I have a problem with a word that's accented on the 3rd syllable, I'll re-emphasize it in my head, changing to hitting it hard on the 2nd, and that will often help. Or just playing around with emphasizing different syllables from how they're doing it. Now if I could only find a way to mentally blank out the 'trilling' (arrgh).
Chris is a boring one-trick pony. (nt)
Daisy Dukes and a plunging top ought to do the trick!

My trick for stopping expansions from expanding....SM
This might not work for you but I find it quicker to add it in my shortcuts. I simply add the last letter on it again when I don't want it to expand. For example, BP = blood pressure but BPP = blood pressure. COPD = chronic.... but COPDD = COPD. That's a lot faster for me than to do all those other steps. Just thought I would throw that out there in case it might work for someone else too.
A product called *Oops* might do the trick
It can be found at places like Sherwin Williams Paint. It seemed to get up all kinds of stuff when we built our house. Good luck!
I do the same thing for set my timer for 20 minutes, that 1 nap does the trick usually for the rest
of my day (if I happen to be working during the day). If I start nodding off late at night, I just go to bed and get up early if need be to finish up.
Quick and easy last minute cleaning trick
Clean those vent covers from heaters, etc. the easy way. Put an old towel on the floor or beneath the vent to catch drips. Put hot water and your favorite cleaner (I use Fantastic because it really cuts the grease and grime fast) in a small bowl or pan. Take a medium to large paint brush and brush the cleaning solution over the slats in the ventilator covers. I do a quick brush over the whole thing first, then go back and start at top and work down. It will remove all the grime and gunk. Blot with a towel (real or paper). You do not need to remove the vent cover to do this. No need to rinse unless you use soapy solution.

No trick, and you will be cut off and they will make you pay up to 21 cents per minute retroactive
If you aren't physically talking with another human being, they consider you in violation of the agreement and they will come after you. It happened to me.

Trick for keeping ants off picnic tables
I know you're asking about anywhere but when we would have picnics, we would use old tuna or catfood cans and wipe them all over, inside and out, with vegetable oil or mineral oil and then set the legs of the table in them. The ants couldn't climb the slippery outsides of the cans to get onto the table. It really worked.
You might try looking up the types of birds and beatles that eat ants and keeping a few natural predators around the flowerbeds.
I remember when I learned the keyboard-in-lap trick from a new graduate . . .
I was horrified to watch this 20 year in a reclining chair with the keyboard in her lap. I learned old school, of course: Sit up straight, elbows at side, blah blah. Well, it was immediate relief when I plopped that thing in my lap.
BTW, I never did get my invention off the ground - it was going to be a transcriber recliner, especially helpful for those with circulation problems. I wanted to retrofit a recliner so that the foot pedal could fit onto the footrest. Of course, being able to see the monitor might be an issue now that I wear bifocals!
It's a one-trick pony that requires us to sit on our butts on auto-pilot all day
Yeah, we do need to know terminology and how to use a computer to locate information, but every job has specifics that are required. How extensive is the knowledge we need if you think about it? We do the same thing every day, every month, every year like a hamster running in a wheel to nowhere.
Mine are so bad I get Kenalog injections throughout allergy season. Really does the trick for your e

Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line. It makes it easier when reading these messages. thanks so much and have a nice day everyone.
small message. nm means no message
see?
Flame=200 views, sm=see message, nm=no message

sm, see (or short) message, nm is no message.

sm-see message, nm-no message, ks-I think it's someone's initials.
nm
or no message, small message - whatever SM
any indication there is no need to waste time opening the post.
it is irritating also when people type through the subject line as well as the name line and then do not indicate if it is worth pursuing.
sm is see message not small message. I almost always
put NM or nt if there is no message, but quite a lot of people still open the posts as evidenced by the number of views.
your message

You messed it up yourself. Why are you blaming the recruiter? Your test was not good. You prematurely sent in a resignation. Do you actually think it was someone else's fault?

Boy!!!! I'm glad I woke everyone up today; bet you feel more energized, don't you??? I am not making light of this horrible tragedy. I would have been devastated if it had been my son. There is a saying out there, "chance prefers the prepared mind"; in other words, at least think ahead and try to prepare; of course no one can be right about everything all the time. I have just seen and read about so many instances where the parents or "caretakers" of a child were negligent that resulted in irreparable harm to the child or children. I still cannot blame that driver without further info as to exactly how that happened. If I were driving that car and did not see that 2 year old and ran over him, I would actually be a victim as well because that is something I could never, ever forget!!

See where the X to close out the Word window is? Right next to the ruler bar for the margin there should be an up arrow (for scrolling). Right above that is a little line. Put your cursor on the line and move it up to the top.
So.....see message please
You asked. I'm answering.
It's not worth it. Run away as fast as you can and find another profession.

My 15yo got this. Tried all OTC products. Nothing worked. She has very, very thick hair! Enough for 3-4 people. It is also below her mid back. We used Crisco oil and Joy dishwashing liquids. She slept with the Crisco oil on her head overnight (roughly 10 hours) and then we washed it out with Joy (OMG at the amount of nasty lil bugs in the tub!). Waited 10 days and did it again (mainly just for her to feel better). She has never had them again.

I know that years ago Dictaphone had a hand-controlled pedal which I had used. You might want to contact the Dictaphone Company and find out if this option is still available.
As far as I know, you cannot hook a C-phone pedal to your computer. However, I may be wrong about that; although I would think if it could be done it would be quite complicated.
Another option you might want to think about is to re-record your dictations to your computer and play them back as .wav files. This can be done through the sound recorder with a connection that you can buy at Radio Shack for about $20. I have done this in the past and though the sound quality was not the best, I could still hear and understand the dictations.

The spellchecker is Dorlands. It came with the hardback Dorland's Dictionary. The spellchecker came on a CD which you have to load into your computer. You also a password to get access to Dorlands.com for research, etc. I bought mine from Amazon, but I think 49.95 is the going price about anywhere.

my, but you are a vindictive person aren't you. Like I said, if you don't mind a background check, go for it.
If you hire a painter/plumber/handyman and do a background check, you will have to do the work yourself.
I'm out of here.
Been there. See message.
My son, now 15, had major problems with reflux when he was baby that wasn't "corrected" until he got really sick. He would vomit what appeared to be every ounce of formula he took in. The doctors told me to put rice cereal in his formula and then put him on his stomach on a bed pillow so that the formula would stay down.
Yeah, right. Just ended up washing more blankets and bed pillows. It wasn't until he was 5 months old that someone finally did something. Poor guy had pneumonia. We took him to the ER and he spent 4 days in the hospital. The diagnosis was pneumonia from aspiration. He was vomiting so hard that he was sucking the formula down into his lungs.
While at the hospital, he had a barium swallow ultrasound that showed that the opening into his stomach (sorry brain cramp for the med term) did not close after eating. They put him on Reglan (metoclopramide). I was told that this medication relaxes the spasms in the stomach opening so that it will close properly. I was told that most children will grow out of it before they are 3 and that some will have it longer or may require surgery. My son was on this medication until he was 5 or 6.
My son still gets occasional heartburn at 15, but it's very rare. It's usually when he eats something like a whole pepperoni pizza, which is to be expected.
Sorry I took so long, but my advice to you, if you haven't already done so, is to talk to your pediatrician about a gastro consult or ask your pediatrician to order a barium swallow, etc., etc. The medication your child is on only quiets the symptoms and obviously isn't curing the real problem.
As sick as your child is, there is something wrong with this picture.
Good luck!
