Dust....
Hard drives are factory-sealed, so although it's true that a small bit of dust can harm a drive, that's probably not what happened to your drive. If you have a hard drive failure (are you sure?), it was something else that caused it. Dust ON a hard drive case doesn't cause drive failure.
Dust inside a computer causes overheating, which mostly affects power supplies and circuit board components like the CPU (main processor).
Dust and molting
I don't really have a problem with the feather dust. I know what you mean though. I have had Cockatiels before too. As far as molting goes, my Grey loses several small white down-like feathers a day. I have been told that this is completely normal. Molting for pet Grey's is usually a continuous process so it is not as noticeable as it would be with other birds. They don't tend to lose large amounts of feathers at one time. I think in the wild they do molt once or twice a year. But as pets it is more of a continuous process. I usually will notice a feather or two in the bottom of the cage every week or so. Really the mess is mostly the seed, like you said...they LOVE to throw it around. LOL But they are wonderful and very funny birds.
DSM-IV is about to bite the dust and the DSM-V is on its way. sm
And shame on you anyway. What psychologists do, how they do it, what they call it and how they diagnose is not always consistent with medical diagnoses. The ugly word "retardation" is only one example of this.
I'd like to see you find a doctor and a psychologist who can agree on the differences between situational depression, major depression and recurrent depression, and how they should best be treated. An MD wants drug therapy. A PhD wants psychotherapy. When you have a certain type of hammer, everything looks like your special kind of nail.
I am finished with my shift and I come in for a visit, but I am not on here all day complaining about doctors or bashing my fellow MTs. Glad YOU don't have a job that takes your time and attention because YOU could not be on here all day to stir the pot.
Hey, I like that! I'm a member of DUST
Downtrodden US Transcriptionists....
You got that right. We are being left in the dust
Why sell cars to us when our jobs went to China and India and we have no money to buy. Wonder what will become of us? Who knows. 
Well, well, word gets around, another OSi QA bites the dust
What is wrong with all you QA's who will not leave OSi altogether, how many is that lately who won't put up with you know whose QA BS and need to tell the whole company good riddance and up yours
Suckups
I found the problem - dust bunnies!!!
I got brave (or stupid) and tried to open it up. It was full of dust bunnies!!! I blew out the stuff and put it back together, and it works GREAT now! It guess it's like how a mouse with a roller can get filled with junk and not work. Who knew!!!
I actually was worried that I wasn't putting enough weight on my pedal. I barely rest my toes on it instead of my whole foot, so there isn't much up/down motion - lazy I guess.
But just so everyone knows - save your $$$ and blow the dust bunnies out if this happens to you!
Usually years. Were you given a used one, full of animal hair, dust, or
s
I so agree. My blazer finally bit the dust last year. I used to go driving just because the sm
seat felt so good. It was perfect. Sigh. gone now.
give it time, dust is settling, they just have no place else to gripe yet. nm

Definitely could be dust and dirt inside your computer. Be careful when you open it,
buy computer air cleaner at electronic store, and blow the air into all computer parts. Use a clean and static-free brush to dust all components. Be careful not to touch any parts inside with your hands to avoid static electricity whch may zap your machine. Important to unplug everything before opening up the case. If you are nervous about doing this yourself, take it to a computer tech for a good cleaning.
Foot pedals break easy. You're lucky they supply one. I have SIX different ones gathering dust.

I thought so. Thanks.:)

I thought so too
Ya know, I thought so too but I think it is because his hair cut and facial makeup and eye brows are so severe..If he grew a longer beard, some side burns and longer hair, I dont think it would look that bad..However, he looks like my ex..sigh..My ex was a Latino as Dave Navarro is and has the same face..When I first saw Dave Navarro..I said to everyone, My gosh, he looks like John and they agreed..Carmen (dont know if I like her or not) and Dave sure make a good looking couple, though.
I thought it was just me! Thank God I'm

well, one would have thought it sure
would have gotten some press, for sure. But on the other hand, the story doesn't have the same 'newsworthy' features (from the press standpoint), ie, hope for a happy outcome, being a school-sponsored trip, a top student with the full scholarship waiting, the mystery of higher-ups possibly helping to hide the facts, etc etc.
Its a very very tragic thing, to have a child go missing and especially with the horrible outcome you mentioned.
If the news reported (which they can't) EVERYTHING that went on, we'd probably be afraid to wake up in the morning.
I thought of that too.
I thought about the brown recluse and I think that is why I was nervous and there are so many bites at one time. We have huge spiders here. I hope it isn't a recluse. The symptoms are similar. One scar looks pretty bad. I will watch it. Thanks for responding.:)
YES< YES, I thought it was just me!
That's what I thought...or at least that is what
the signed contract states.
Thank you for clearing that up.
Happens to me, too, but I always thought it was
when supe was pushing jobs into individual que's to improve TAT, since it is always at the end of a job that it happens -- just before another job will download to me.
Yes, it does happen. Not equipment problem, but possibly could be a connection problem -- slow connection causing this, too ????
Here is a thought..
Find MTs in your area that work at home with kids...maybe doing a kid swapping thing would help everyone. Create a MT Mommy group LOL.
I thought I won...
Thought of something else!
Do you e-mail or send in mail, or both? I have always gotten my MT jobs by e-mail.
There are so many hurdles, especially equipment requirements. It seems you have everything right on track, you just need your break!
Another thing I thought of; do you look at other MT websites with job boards? I go to other MT websites when there's nothing new at my favorite one.
Good luck, and keep us posted!
I had thought of this also
In fact, there was just a few hours ago there was a press conference on the news. The Dept of Health and Human Services was giving a briefing and said that many medical volunteers are needed, including nurses, physicians, EMTs, etc. He said on the HHS website there was a link for volunteers to register where they ask questions as to your capabilities, etc. I had wondered if MTs would be needed when I was watching this. I do not remember the specific website, but I'm sure it can be found by Googling the Dept of Health and Human Services. God Bless you for volunteering. 
That's what I thought.
That's what I wanted to do, was mark it so they at least would see it, but nooooooo....they just leg it go!!! And these nationals wonder why they lose accounts!
Thanks! I never even thought much about it until...
JK mentioned it.
I second that thought!

I thought so
you are working for Frankie Boy or are you Frankie Boy.
Where is Chucky zipper or is Chucky Frankie Boy too?
I thought of that too.

Thanks for the thought...nm

I have thought about this, too.
I love Oprah - and I find myself running back and forth between commercials. I have been thinking of putting a small tv in my office. What do you all think?
Have yo thought about
applying for a clerical job in your local hospital or a doctor's office? Good luck to you!
I had not even thought about that. Thank you!

Just a thought - sm
Have you noticed a pattern to when it kicks you out, such as immediately after you send an e-mail? This happened to me, there was a setting in my Outlook Express that made it disconnect every time I sent an e-mail. It was easily fixed.
Just a thought ...
try looking here:

Do seek help, though. Like several posters below stated, this could be very serious.
Thanks... that's what I thought
Just a thought....
Having a parent die isn't exactly easy on a child. Could some of their problems be that they lost their mother, who was obviously a huge part of their lives, rather than the homeschooling? I know someone who lost his mother when he was in grade school. He had severe social problems after that, and he wasn't homeschooled.
I just thought
I just thought maybe since things will be slow they would ask for volunteers first, I work for QT, does anyone else know their policy?
I know what you mean, actually. I thought it was just me.
Jane Fonda is like this a bit. Maybe has to do with their relationship with their father. I am no perfect person character-wise that is for sure but there aren't cameras and paparazzi following me around (thank GOD).
I never thought of it that way.
Eleanor Roosevelt and Gandhi were INFJ, too. Oh, well. I wound up quitting both of those jobs because I hated the way they were treating people. I'm better off for it. Principles are worth more to me than paychecks. LOL Thanks for the clarification. I like Myers-Briggs now that I know it's about understanding personality instead of judging someone's character.
Hey, I have often thought if I were in your
I would be able to make so much money! I mean, if you get bored what do ya do - work! And quiet all the time! I'm sure it can get lonely at times but man, some days I dream of having a house (or even an apartment) of my own and being able to eat what I want when I want, no one to cook for, when I clean it stays clean. I could rent movies and watch them all day, fall asleep at 5:00 p.m., wake up at 1:00 a.m. and type till I was tired, etc. etc. I know I'm thinking of only the advantages and not disadvantages but man, sometimes it sounds good!
If you think WE had it bad, just thought of this. . .
My mom and another "girl" were typists for the old pipeline company back in the 1950's. They had to type financial reports (all numbers) on manual typewriters. There was no White Out back then and erasing was not allowed. If you got something wrong, you had to start over.
They finally finished the reports and stacked them up on the windowsill. Cold windy day and the boss comes in and opens the window. My mom and the other girl sat down and cried and then started over again.
My mom always said she thought the boss might have opened the window on purpose, but that's as far as she ever went with it. Now people would say, "My boss was such a . . . "
No, it is you act on that thought. nm

Just a thought.....
As a child I had asked my mother why things like this happen and I'll never forget her answer.....
At some point in time this childs death may open doors that would otherwise may have not. It is quite possible that the Lord sparred him from something extremely tragic that would of happen to him if he was still on earth. Sometimes things happen for reasons beyond our understanding. "The Lord works in mysterious ways", sound familiar?
This family will definitely be in my prayers + + + + +
thanks, that is what I thought
Maybe she meant some other regulating organization.
Just thought of something .....
I hope you'll have time to go to Epcot, as there are no many wonderful things to see in that park. One of my favorite places is the country, Germany, not only for their wonderful food, but in particular for their drop-dead GORGEOUS colored crystal they sell in their shop. Crystal of every color - Bavarian, Dresden, cut-to-clear, etc. Bring logs of $$$ and credit cards. Their crystal is to die for. I'm a big collector of the stuff and often joke with my hubby that we could give their shop a run for the money when it comes to inventory and variety.....Hehehe!
Have fun!
Have you thought about
coding? Your knowledge would be transferrable, but you would have to learn the codes. Coding seems to be about where MT was when I got into it about .... years ago. Thank goodness I'm close to retirement age, if I can just hang in there a little longer.
He probably thought it was out of the

I had not thought of this...sm
but, then again, I don't have air conditioning in the house. I do have a large umbrella that could shield from the sun!
I never thought I'd say this,
but I have to agree with you. I've been a member for years, have been on boards, had my CMT. I've let my CMT expire, I've not renewed my membership, and clearly my day is done being on boards. Their stance on offshoring was the final nail in the AAMT coffin for me. And yes, in spite of all the years I've been a faithful follower, I can't say that they've done a thing for American MTs as individuals.
Thank you, XXX. I would never have thought of that.
