try splitting LD usage with 2

In Reply to: No trick, and you will be cut off and they will make you pay up to 21 cents per minute retroactive - to when they believe you started breaking your con
The last poster was right - it doesn't matter that you are calling in to hear a voice. Technically you are calling a computer to access that voice file, not actually talking voice-to-voice with someone, which they will say violates the terms and conditions. You can talk to some supervisor about what you are using it for and maybe can permission to keep using it for MT, but unless you have it explicitly in writing they can still get you at any time by cancelling your LD or (much worse) retroactively charging you. The magic number for that "alarm" is 5000 minutes a month. I split my LD with a regular ULD plan and Vonage. You can't have 2 different LD companies on the same phone line, so you either have to use 1 regular LD and some sort of VoIP (such as Vonage, but there are others), or you have to have 2 different phone lines, each with its separate ULD plan and then split up your phone time between the 2. It's a headache, I know.

Splitting keyboard
How did you do this? How far apart do they go? I have a Goldtouch that I love but am looking for set-up where I can completely separate halves and fix each half to the arms of my chair. That way, I can kick back and type and my keyboard will be right on the arms of my chair and I won't have to reach around my belly, lol. ( I have short, stubby arms, lol) For now, I can take my wireless keyboard and my Goldtouch and place each on a wooden TV tray and set at the side of my chair and type, but that takes up a lot of room.
I am sitting here splitting my sides after reading your
comedy post. I absolutely love those dirty jokes and can hardly wait until my better half gets home to read to him. He will love also. Thanks for a perfect end to this otherwise dull day.
good one! actually you are guessing and splitting hairs and still come out loser.
you jumped in on this "I win" game with your "higer education" and "degree".
Frankly dear poster, you depress me. I hate the idea that anyone like you is in the same profession as I am. Amazing too. What with your degree and all. You'd think a person with your "intellect" would be posting on mensa board or something. hee.
bwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaa
I agree with splitting shifts to get more rest, etc. I just had a baby and my line count went down
for the first trimester, peaked for the second, then back down for the third. My only advice is PLAN for that drop in the third trimester by working when you can in the second, then if the drop doesn't happen, great, you're ahead of the game. I ended up on bedrest and in the hospital, so take care of yourself and I know it's hard, but hopefully the bills will not put too much pressure on you.
Have you maximized your IT usage by

internet usage
I have Comcast and have never heard anything like that. My internet is basically used 24 hours a day! I get on at 4:00 AM and work on and off all day, my husband is on when I am not, and when my son gets out of school he is on until about 1:00 in the mornig each day. I would think that would be excessive if anybody's was...
Hyphen usage in the following
arthroscopic report: crabmeat-appearing cartilage Yes? shovel-like basket forceps ?
air card usage
Great that Sprint offers that. I do know on my account with Verizon there is unlimited usage, unlimited area. So I guess as well it goes to show that different companies offer different packages and most likely for different areas, depending on competition. Hope you find one that suits you, but make sure that you get the name, ID# , etc. of every person you talk to. Makes it a lot easier if you have to go back for whatever reason to them. Also, Verizon offers an antenna that you can hook to a window with suction cups, etc., so be sure to ask whoever you talk to if they offer any accessories at the time of sign up and if they can throw those in for free.
comma usage
QA is correct; the commas do belong there, and it would be wrong to omit them. The first comma is a series of adjectives; the other comma is to separate two conjoined sentences.
laptop usage
I am considering purchasing a laptop to use mainly outdoors this summer so that my soon to be 4 YO twins can play outside while I am working. I already have a Verizon air card so that shouldn't be a problem. There is a place here that sells used laptops and new ones and they are awesome IT folks so I am going to talk with them more about my needs on the tech end. What I am looking for here is if anyone has any suggestions on a setup of the laptop itself and a separate keyboard and mouse, i.e. What to sit them on while I am working? I would like to find something either weatherproof that I may not have to move if it is heavy or something that i could at least roll around to bring back in the garage or something when I am not using it. We have pretty level ground where I will be at. TIA for any suggestions. Oh, and have a wonderful summer!
question about computer usage...sm
Hey, y'all! 
Do y'all let your kids/husband/family use your work computer when you're not using it? I do, and so far haven't had any problems, but I am just wondering if this is a good idea! 
question about computer usage
I let them use it but I am on it so much that they really don't have much of a chance. The kids are in college so have to watch the porn sites. LOL

I guess that would depend on the usage. sm
I worked with a gal once who literally pounded and stomped her foot pedal. The hospital replaced it twice in 6 months. After the second time, she was told she would have to pay for her own. I'm easy on mine and have had it for 10 years.
Pay for amount of usage -- might not be bad idea
Phone bills used to be like that, -- shows my age. I say sometimes I think it would be nice that those that use the most pay the most,. I have my cable TV on at the most 2 hours a day and yet I pay the same as those that watch 14 hours a day. Just like we get paid on the production of work we do, maybe we need to pay for the amount of usage on certain items.
comcast cap on usage official

Also - new vs old Sprint for unlimited usage sm
Any new Sprint accounts as of 11/2008 are subject to the 5GB cap. From what I am understanding, accounts created before then say that they can throttle your speeds, terminate service, or charge overage fees for going over 5GB but so far have not really done so.
sprint limited usage
Do you work more than your 5GM? I just wondered since I am thinking about getting a card. I think Verizon and ATT do the same. My daughter has 5GM on her cable and she went over once, but they did not charge extra.
Thanks a lot.
I see all the postings about phone usage and I'm confused. sm
Are you talking about a long distance service you need to use a C-phone? Or are they questioning the use of your DSL connection?
Sorry, but you are wrong....not familiar with usage of apostrophes?
It has to be written like this

to be the colon cancer's point of view. The doctor just made the sentence structure weird.
Regarding the colon cancer, the patient is doing well
would have been better.
Kids at home? What ages and do you limit their internet usage?
We have a 15-year-old that is limited to 1 hour on the internet when school is not in session, and we have parental controls that allow us to see everything she has done while she was on line.
What about your household?
Yeah, I used to years ago but no heavy usage, what killed by brain cells
not getting high. Granted if I had done it a lot, maybe so, but I have 1 good friend who got high every day, she has a Master's degree and is a respected Speech Therapist, though we tease her about her specialty, "swallowing".
OF INTEREST TO ALL TIME WARNER CUSTOMERS...THEY ARE GOING TO START CHARGING FOR USAGE AND NOT A FLAT
This really sucks as the article said it would impact heavy users only. My cable bill is already high but to be charged for actual using will skyrocket my bill. I think I could spit nails right now. I can post the article if anyone is interested. They said it will be a trial period. Anyone else use Time Warner?
