http://www.hslda.org/   This is a link to the homeschool legal defense website.  I do not recommend them and I think joining is a waste of money, because they pick and choose who they represent so you aren't guaranteed representation should it be needed, but if you click on the link for In Your State you'll find the laws/guidelines for your state and you can go from there.   They are support groups in every state and you could Google to try to find groups in your area.   There is so much available to homeschoolers as far as curriculum and what fits for one doesn't for another.  If your area is homeschool friendly you will find that there are classes or social activities planned during the day just for homeschoolers.  

www.vegsource.com/homeschool is a good place to start, also www.teachingmom.com.   You can ask questions,explore curriculum links, buy new/used curriculum, etc.  While the homeschooling community in general is overwhelmingly Christian, there is a wide range of secular material available too and on the vegsource forum there is a secular board and I believe both forums have boards for special need families.

If your son needs services such as PT, OT, or ST he can still receive those through the public school system, even if he doesn't attend, because you are a taxpayer.

For the most part the public school system doesn't cause any problems.  They don't want you to homeschool because they don't get the extra tax dollars, but as long as you follow the laws of your state they can't do anything.   Some states are very homeschool friendly and there is absolutely no accountability (TX for one) and other states (PA) have a lot of hoops you must jump through. 

Go to www.rainbowresource.com and order their catalog.  It will totally overwhelm you when it get it and you see the huge volume of curriculum available to homeschoolers.

I've left my e-mail addy if you'd like more info. 

WASHINGTON - The government estimates it takes taxpayers 28 hours and 30 minutes to complete an average tax return with itemized deductions and income reported from interest, dividends and capital gains. That's 42 minutes longer than last year.

Personal note;  If you've been keeping your books updated and have well-ordered receipts, etc., above is probably average.

The Blue Screen of Death

That key printing never wear down because the letters are part of the key itself.  They just don't make them that way anymore because it is too expensive to make.  Some of the mechanical keyboards like Cherry have what they double shot key imprinting and the letters are part of the key itself and don't wear off. That IBM keyboard is very noisy from the type of keyswitch it has so you may not like that.  Logitech and Belkin make some membrane switch keyboards that are supposed to have longer lasting key imprints.  I have a logitech that has the longer lasting key imprints and it is pretty good.  You have to look on the specs to find out if has the longer lasting key printing.

I have experimented so much with keyboards and have done a lot of research.  Way too much info.  

Okay, any lefties use this keyboard? How long did it take to get used to? I use my left thumb for the space bar and I notice on a diagram of the keys that I would always be hitting the backspace key.

I'm really interested in getting a better keyboard. I destroyed my left hand and wrist the other week when I fell because I'm becoming a real klutz.

I bought the Soft Flex gloves, but they only help a little bit. My production is down because of it and it's driving me crazy. I can only type an hour without stopping and then have to rest the hand for some time.

I did buy a Microsoft 2000 keyboard but have yet to recieve it. Is this a good one?

Do you use a keyboard tray with it or just set it on the desk? Do you think a kayboard tray would be the least expensive item right now that would help with a straight keyboard?

Any info you can provide to help me in making any decision would be greatfully appreciated.

'Scuse me for being old school, but I've only ever used a straight keyboard.

For longtime comfort which is best - split keyboard mounted on chair arms or split keyboard to be used on the desk?

Also, why the preference over split keyboards that come totally apart versus split keyboards that are permanently connected at the top?

I want to revamp my office and there are so many different options.

I think you can make more money on clinic notes as they are easier...even though you usually get less per line, you can usually pump out the lines quicker.  There was a recent discussion on the hosp/clinic board about this.  Here is the addy, but I'll add the link below too.

It was from Jan. 3rd.  It read:

It is so easy to convince yourself you cannot make as much money at a different company  or on a different account, or never find anything better, so you stay where you are, taking all the abuse in the world.  In management, this is called the Golden Handcuff, and they rely on it to keep the same employees, never give a raise, never give respect, and just continue to walk all over you. 

In this profession you are very mobile if you can transcribe at all.  It may take a month to get used to a new system, a new account, or whatever, but your self respect is worth it in the end.  There are a lot of companies out there that actually do appreciate employees, and it certainly does not seem to be any of the companies who are mentioned frequently on these boards.

I changed jobs about a month ago, thought I would never learn, but in a week I was making far more with a small MTSO than I ever did with a large company.  Treat yourself to a new beginning and a new year. 

Hope this helps.

I am saying that this horrible thing could have been prevented.  My sister woke up in the morning to her partially eaten chickens (whch are actually her pets) because the coyotes got to them.  She called feed stores and even the county to find a way to solve the problem.  Somewhere along the way someone gave her the following idea.  Her husband and some friends dug down a couple feet into the ground and put plywood straight down into the ground around the chicken coop.  This has worked 100%.

I am saying that if this was the first time her dogs had gotten out, there would've been no fault to her.  But, since this wasn't the first time she could have fixed the problem.  Worst case scenerio she could have a pen for the dogs to keep them in. 

I hesitated in even responding because I knew I would get the reaction you gave, but if this could prevent her other dog from being a victim it is worth it (or any other dog for that matter).

My heart breaks for her. 

1.  Put the keyword in you want to use

2.  When putting in the expansion, hit CTRL+K, you will see a screen that says "the next key you type, etc.  for Bolding, check the CTRL box, the hit the B key.  It is appears as {@keyCTRL+B} and the entry will be bolded.  Do the same thing at the end, and it will turn off the bolding. 

Here is what it looks like for a bolded HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:  

{@KEY Ctrl+B}HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:{@KEY Ctrl+B}

I don't underline in my work, but it would be a similar process.
