I would buy before you go, on-line, Disney Store - sm
The ticket lines were long at Disney, as for buying at a resort, I don't know, we have always bought in advance, granted not on this trip (comped by Make a Wish) Call a resort and ask. As for International Drive, if it is the road I think it is (Hwy 192) (we just got back ourselves) be prepared for tons of traffic on that road, ripped up for construction, and traffic lights every 1/4 mile it seemed too. Going to Disney was not a problem, it was driving back that took a bit extra time. Universal was pretty wild though, first time there for us. You will have a blast!

I use Endust Electronics spray...
Look for a blue can. I'd never use anything else. It's also antistatic.

Other than that, you can get those special LCD cleaning kits (they come in packs of wrapped towelettes)-just look in the Office Depot catalog.
Check out copywriting law on line--sm
It appears that most of the info there is for advertisements and such, but I am sure you could find some useful info there. There is even a site where you can do your OWN copywrite, for a price of course. I did not get that far into it to see how much it cost. Check it out.
J &R Electronics discount 83.00 with free shipping. sm
Not a bad deal.  just wondering about quality with just voice and not music. 
Martel Electronics' headset equalizer - sm

Check out www.martelelectronics.com, under transcription accessories or headsets or something like that.  Adjusting the mid channel on the equalizer helps take out a good portion of the background noise.  Hope this helps.


Disappointing service at Martel Electronics

How disappointing to have received such poor service from Martel -- a company we all rely upon for their great products!


The new headset I ordered arrived damaged/defective with an improperly coated wire making the headset useless.  When I called I was informed that not only would I be charged a restocking fee, I would have to pay to have the defective product returned.  Only after inspection would a new one be sent -- and that would be another wait of 10 to 14 days.


Repeated requests to speak with a supervisor got me nowhere.  I ultimately disputed the charge on my credit card and wrote to the Better Business Bureau. 


How unfortunate that the only supplier of the Lanier headphones is so unresponsive to their customers!


On-line canceled check shows that it was for $200.46.
But check was written for $246.00. Geeze...I was called by someone with an Indian accent this morning (Sunday!) who wanted immediately to get the cash deficient and so I had to do that. Will call tomorrow and figure out who made the mistake. Thanks for all your replies. Yes, Wells Fargo is going to be history soon.
It's 12:00 noon, time for a line check.

try local waste mgmt co., they can usually tell you who recycles electronics. nm

I ordered on-line with no problems. Just check and double
check before you hit the submit button.  Their customer service is in India, don't know if ordering is offshored as well, in which case you'd be better off ordering on-line. 
Have you checked out Martel Electronics website for equipment to help with this process?
I would think that if you rerecorded at a faster speed, the sound quality would be compromised. I think it was on www.martelelectronic.com that I saw equipment for this. Good luck.
Line check, anyone care to share where you're at this morning.

Just got a check for a supposed miscalculation of line on DQS for the last 2 years. Guess they
figure they werent going to win that lawsuit. Wonder what else they are going to do. They reduce ASR, they load the accounts with tons of MTs and we need either tons of backups or just a few and then have no work, what next.
Check your line count and what you are getting paid for. Don't trust what they SAY you are gettin
:P
I would check into a business line. My phone company offers one for around 55 dollars, with truly U
I am going to remove the LD from my home phone, and use the business line for all calls, then I will only have to pay about 35 above what I'm paying now. Not ideal, but the best deal I could find.
Check the MT jobs available. Nowadays 8 or 9 cents a line is considered good for experienced MTs.

A gross line is anything on a line is a line. A line set at 65 characters means it sm
has 1-inch margins on each side. The maximum number of characters on that line would be 65 and that includes spaces. If there is 1 character on that line it is a line.

A standard 65-character line usually consists of 65 characters with spaces unless, of course, the employer does not pay for spaces and then it would be 65-characters without spaces.
Please consider another store, please
Please read about Walmart and how it destroys small town businesses, among other ethical considerations. PLEASE consider shopping elsewhere.
I don't have a store...

I do auctions.  I try to be very careful about what I list.  I love books and have in the thousands of them, mostly educational material.  I have been selling those on half.com for a long time, so my time listed as a member is about 6 years.  It has only been in the last couple of months that I really started trying to power sell--everything you can think of--collectibles, books, clothes, my felt sets, shoes, etc.  You just have to watch the market and know that what you list will sell (hopefully) so that you don't lose money in fees.  I am still learning, but so far I have been very lucky and have made some good sales.

Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

The UPS Store only allows the automatic $100 if you pay
them to package your stuff. I learned that one trying to ship equipment back to my former employer. I wasn't about the shell out even more money for them to box up something that I put back in the company's original box.

I go to Kroger's too, our store here does not do it - sm
though, at least I have never seen it there. Granted most of the time I do the self checkout but when I do go through a regular line I have not encountered it. I really like our Krogers too, I only wish their prices were a bit lower....my husband can easily drop $100-$200 when he goes shopping there.
You can store their reports, but sm
to give them access at their own free will is not the way I would go.  Of course, I charge my accounts when I have to search archives.  It is a flat rate even if I find the document or not.  If I find it, then it is faxed.  I have never really heard of letting your client search your files though.  In other words, they get a copy of the original report.  If they lose it, they get charged again.  Right or wrong, I don't know, but that is my method.
Almost any computer store will have them.
I bought a laptop about 5 months ago that has XP, but is Vista compatible.  I don't think everything has Vista on it right now because there are still too many problems with it.  If you went to any of the big box electronic stores they should have one with XP. 
I tell my hubby I have to run to the store,
and he said he would like to see that.....
I've never seen one in a store, certainly not
the chain stores.

the scout ants will carry back to their nest(?) and eradicate the entire colony.  What I used was a product that was a small, enclosed tin thing with a hole in top.  It held a poisonous gel.  I think there were 3 in a box.  Sorry, can't remember the name.  Anyway, I never saw ants in the house since using these.

No brainer here. Stop payment on first check before you issue 2nd check.

And, the meat in the grocery store comes
I believe that if you buy "beef" it comes from cows, an animal. I believe if you buy "chicken" it comes from chickens, an animal.
I was a cashier in a grocery store and
he came in to buy groceries for his mother. We were both 17 and married 1-1/2 years later, been married for almost 27-1/2 years now.
have you tried the library (if you still have one) or the grocery store...
like, lingering, you know? I have been approached many times by men like that...

how about friends, does anyone have a set-up for you, even just for some companionship?

how about volunteering for things, like a food pantry or wildlife center.

of coures, goes without saying to be cautious always when out in public these days...

also, laundromats I always see single guys...

anyone else?
Went there for paint. Brand new store. SM
I asked for specific color and the kid behind the counter starting mixing it. It seemed to be taking a long time, Home Depot takes second, all because he had an old fashioned paint machine where you had to manually put in the colors, not computerized like Home Depot. So why didn't I go to Home Depot? Good question.
Thanks fine for a warehouse store where they don't bag.

Put notices up at the grocery store,etc.

advertising homemade pies, cakes, breads etc.  A lot of the famous and rich people in this type of industry started off this way.  I think it isn't that big, at least not in the smaller cities, but we have people that come into your home, plan a menu with you and then cook so many meals a week.  There is also a business that just started near me where you go to their store, they have all the makings for 6 different meals and you just put them all together.   One place has cooking lessons for kids and also opens to kids cookie parties and he is doing very well.   Work with a caterer prn.   I live in a city of about 230,000 and we have events that are seasonal where caterers are hiring dozens of people, with June coming up they will be hiring to help with weddings.


I know lots of people with psychology degrees and none of them are working in their field because there just aren't any jobs. 


You don't mention a husband or kids, but if you are young and no responsibilities now is the time to go out on the limb. 


None of the above would require a huge time commitment or financial commitment and you could test the waters while still having a FT income.  If it took off you could scale back your hours, or try and do both for a while and get your debts paid off and then be in a position to jump in with both feet.


Our local community college has a culinary program.  I think it is still largely male dominated, but still lots of females too.   I don't know if this is a 1 year or 2 year program, though I think it does require a lot of hours.  You could do it during the day and work nights/weekends.  It wouldn't be easy, but nights/weekends usually pay more.


If you want it bad enough you'll find a way.

My local store always takes them out. s/m
I've never thought to tip them, and I've never seen anyone else tip either.

By the way, I thought all grocery stores carried out the bags for you.
RadioShack has several sizes of these right in the store. nm

Go to a store like Best Buy and Circuit City.

They have several models and you can compare features and play around with them, and also ask questions.   One is about as good as the other.   Each brand has had lemons.  Most all have pretty much the same bells and whistles.  It just depends on what you want.


If you are going to use for leisure like downloading music, uploading pictures, are you going to use for work, etc. 


I need to store an ink jet printer and keep in case my others die-how do I
go about storing the cartriges so they don't dry out?  Can regular adhesive tape be put on the part where the ink shoots out (as they are when new?).  Thanks for any ideas.
Foot pedal - does any know of store
My pedal went out on my today, and I was wondering if anyone know of a store (like Office Max or Wal-Mart) that sells these instead of ordering one online and waiting for days for it to come....
Go to the store, get valerian. It is a natural way
to soothe. You may also try St. John's wort. Valerian is fast acting, St. John's takes 2 weeks to kick in. Only problem with valerian, is since it is made with flowers, it has a strong odor. But it will help.
Try to dissociate yourself from your notes. Pay attention to the words and the grammar and edit as you go along instead of paying attention to the stories. As with anything, cognitive therapy helps, but if you go to the library, there are plenty of books on this subject. If you get really anxious, you can take a benadryl now and then, however, this may be sedating, and you can do that if you are finished work for your full shift or until you come back later, so you can rest.
I suggest doing all of these things before addressing such a personal issue with your employer. As a professional, you can solve these things through training your mind, and through healthy remedies. If nothing else, you can always visit a walk-in clinic which is about 70.00 and they can prescribe something but the healthy remedies are just as good and not addictive, IMO. All the best to you! PS: Keep your chin up and thinking positive. You are not the people in the notes. You are you.
I was at the store one day when a family with young kids came out.

The kids were fooling around in the parking lot and chasing each other around.  One of the boys, who was approximately 10 years old, jumped up and ran across the hood of a parked car in his cowboy boots.  He totally scratched up and dinged the hood of the car.  The owner, a pastor at a local church, told the parents about it.  The father denied it, then he tried to hit the pastor.  The police were called.  I took the car license number and testified as a witness.  These people are just a prime example of the poor excuses for parents that our country is full of.  The parents should have been publicly caned.


My parents would have beat my butt with a leather belt if I had dared touch someone else's property.  They never had to, though, because they told us how to behave and enforced it.  I'm not saying I never got spanked with a hand when I was young, but I knew it was a potential consequence.  My own kids know if they dare to damage someone else's property, they will pay for the repairs and be punished.  They are too old to spank, however, especially since they're bigger than me!  LOL  My kids also know what it's like to have their property stolen or damaged by other people.
