re: lunch while typing
Just FYI....NEVER try to eat ramen noodles while you are typing!!! Not a pretty site...LOLOLOL...just a thought to lighten the load!!! hehehehe
typing stand
Does anyone have any idea where you can find a typing stand like the ones we used for typing class?  I'd like one with a ruler or something attached to keep my place on the document.  I'm having a really hard time locating this item.  Any clues?  Thanks!
as i am typing, i bet it is getting deleted
I cant believe it has been on here this long!  I am quite sure that it is going to go fast. By the way, look up the EU, European Union.  Go to Google and Images and check out the building.  In front of it is a statue of a woman riding a beast.  Also, their seats for the congress/senate or whatever they are called are numbered, going up to 800 or something.  all filled up with the persons name, except number 666 is empty. 
typing speed
Go to Google and type in typing speed. There are a bunch of things under google. You can take typing tests to see  how many words per minute you are typing.

Please excuse the typing errors...
All I have heard today is "The patient had a giberishgiberish condition that includded gibberish, cough, hack, sneeze gibberish." You get the point.
what happens when you stay in typing mode

Had to share.  Friend of mine has two sisters 1 with a 2y/o and a 5 mon. old and the other with a 1 y/o.  First one thought she was pregnant again.  Second is just a snooty lil'heifer.  Anyway she was IMing me about an hour ago.  We were talking about her new job and right out of the blue said..."brb phone".  Then came back with "my flu infested sister calling to see what I got for VD".


I had a fit and said. "Serious VD?  OMG your mom will die.  Why drive 80 miles for some medicine, why not go to the doctor...I cannot believe she of all peope has revealed that information."


She cracked up and came back with


"No stupid...Valentines Day!"


Priceless...  I would have never gotten Valentines Day from VD...Maybe VD on Valentines Day!   Sometimes you've just got to give it a rest!  Must get more sleep!


I also watch while typing or at least try to eat lunch then
I read that the audience will slowly find out who all is in the accident. Like yesterday just about Nick, Sharon, and Jack. I know Cane, Katherine, Lauren, Paul, and the lady cop (can't remember her name). also Victoria (we already know this), JT, and I suppose Adrain. What about Amber? Not sure about her. I think I saw her with blood on her in a preview.
Need a little YouTube break from typing? - sm

Then take a mini-tour of San Francisco, the way we skaters like to enjoy it!

I have bifocals for reading & typing, and although - sm
I'm perfectly fine driving without glasses, I have some driving glasses, which just makes it a little easier to read street signs from distance. It's to correct astigmatism. I could also have gotten trifocals, but someone I knew with them said he had them and never could get used to them. I also chose the bifocals with the line, rather than the lineless ones. There was supposedly a good reason, although I don't remember why!
Happy Birthday...keep on typing
I'm 72 and still typing..:-)
No kidding. I'm not typing my fingers
to the bone for a week or two straight just to buy a freakin' purse! Maybe if I was a CEO or something, but not on my MT pay. Or maybe if I was an MTSO, LOL...
Can't afford to be hooked to anything, except typing right now!!!

Studies show typing doesn't cause it, but
the mouse isn't great for us. But you can protect your median nerve by using typing gloves like SoftFlex, which have little pads that protect the nerve when you rest the heel of your hands.
I'm concerned that you were typing & weren't watching your 6 yr old.

I got to get back to typing her but need special prayers
my DIL and grandson are in flight from Hawaii to LAX to be with her mother, his grandmother in the last few days of her life. Her name is Pat. She lives in Placentia. She is in the hospital right now but wants to come home when they get here.  My son also in HI, scheduled to leave within 10-12 days to Iraq but he is having some medical issues. Please pray they will not be of a serious nature. Please pray, he is thinking his men will think he is faking this.  It is just all the stress he is under....Thank you in advance
Hopefully you use an expander, and aren't typing it all from scratch? NM

grammar mistake above, typing while angry again!
Gotta learn to count to 10.
sorry, meant "PugmoM" - too early to be typing!

Help! Was typing along and hit something to make paragraph symbols appear all over document. nm

You better believe it was! I would say better than the drink!!!
GOOD FOR YOU!
I drink at
Folgers instant.

I once owned an espresso machine, but the coffee gave me nystagmus :)
Yes!! I get extremely bored and have trouble staying focused on typing. sm
Some days I am so bored I dont know how I am going to get through the day!!
One time I was typing on a calm Sunday evening and my son came into the room...

said, "I told you we should buy me a new bike," and I looked up at him and his arm was all bloody and his left flank and hip were all bloody and grungy,  I shot off an e-mail to whoever was there on Sunday night and took him to the ER with a broken arm.  Bike was also unrepairable.  By the way, I offered to buy him a new bike not too many days prior to this incident and he said he didn't need one. 


My drink on break
I think today at the mall I will order something to drink that I hate instead of getting what I like. That way I can complain. Same theory as continuing to read what one considers immature and boring in lieu of just going on and developing your own constructive topics that you like.
Thanks...and I drink almost never...I occasionally buy (sm)
wine coolers or something and leave them in the fridge thinking they will last me a couple of months and every time I go to look for one they are all gone (even though he claims not to even like them).
Does either one drink in excess?
If so go with the other. lol
I know I don't drink enough water...sm
I also have interstitial cystitis (chronic bladder inflammation) so I should definitely be drinking more water than I do. When I drink any carbonated drink, my bladder hurts the next day. I had a cystoscopy in September to diagnose this, and my bladder was all red and inflamed with little red pinpoint bleeding in it. When I do pee tests I have chronic white blood cells from the inflammation. So yes I would say I need to drink lots of water.
Your drink of choice?

Tonight I will be having club soda, cranberry juice and vodka with a twist of lime. Maybe two.....


I have a liquor cabinet filled, so what can I get ya?


rarely drink but when I do...
blended mudslide or white russian please!!!

:)
have a good one
HECK NO!! I can eat what i want, drink what i want
it's time to eat all the cheesburgers and milkshakes I want!!! I'm looking forward to old age :)
I never drink while working.
Or work while drinking. I have done homework for school while drinking, however. Back deck, barbecue, Corona with lime, and the laptop.
Made belgian pancakes & maple syrup for breakfast, then typing for

Drink plenty of water...
I try to start my day with a pitcher of ice water on desk, like a 2-liter bottle and try to drink that during my shift, which really helps. Hubby and I went on program with Dr. and took Adipex and B12/B complex and followed the attached diet. We were on 1500 cal/day and he lost 65 and I lost 35. We quit taking the adipex but stayed with the diet. I lost 30 on this same diet several years ago too. It is well rounded. Somewhere I have an 1800 cal if you are interested. You don't count calories, it is already figured out for you. Daily meal plan gives you a break down of what to eat in a day (1 bread, 1 fruit, etc)and then the individual breakdown (breads, meat, etc.) lets you know what these include. (i.e. 1 bread - 1 slice of bread, 1 fruit 1 small apple or 1/2 cup canned fruit). No expense of buying diet products and you can eat regular food with your family. Funny. We used to eat 2 center cut chops a piece and with this we would split 1! There are free foods too so you could pile up a big salad for lunch and save other stuff for dinner. We did not quit drinking sodas, just switched to diet cokes 0 calories as opposed to 140 or so per drink. Good luck.

Of course! Just don't eat or drink while you're reading

I was one of the ones who was able to drink at age 18 back in the 1970s
I really don't have a problem with it, at all, but maybe for the 18-21 year old crowd, there should be a license, the same for driving. In fact, link the two together. Take a written test to get a tag to the driver's license that will allow the young person to purchase alcohol. If there are any infractions such as drunk in public, for instance, not only is the drinking privilege revoked, but so, too, the drivers license.
Barring that, as another posted stated, I say raise minimum military service age to 21.
Oh please, some people can drink responsibly
and it's nice to have a glass of wine socially here and there. This is not about that.
Try both *ROFL* - drink away *chuckles*...
today is my day off, think I'll join ya.......*lol* 
My favorite hot Starbucks drink is...

a grande soy pumpkin spice latte with no whip cream.  I have acquired a taste for coffee though, so I can't really tell you if they have a strong coffee taste.  Their frozen frappacino things don't taste much like coffee - my 11-year-old niece loves them and she obviously does not like coffee!  I say try their smallest size (a tall) and see what you think of the hot lattes.  The talls only have 1 shot of espresso and the mediums (grande) have 2 shots.


My favorite coffee drinks are the frozen coffees at Baskin Robbins.  You can get whatever kind of ice cream you want mixed with their coffee mix - to die for.  I only let myself get 1 or 2 a year though because they are very fattening and expensive.  Ice Rages are also delicious cold coffee drinks, and you can get them almost anywhere.  The cookies and cream flavor doesn't taste like coffee to me. mmmm, now I need to go and have a cup of coffee!  Just an fyi in case you didn't know - a regular cup of coffee suposedly has about 135 mg of caffeine and a shot of espresso has about 35 mg.  That's what I read in a magazine anyway, so a latte (with just 1 shot of espresso) is mostly milk with just a little bit of coffee.


Or you can drink alcohol at home : )

nonalcoholic drink ideas
i love iced mocha but with them being so expensive these days (and me working at home) i took a shot at my own recipe and i must say it turned out pretty good. you have to play around with how sweet, chocolately, etc you want it but basically here's how it goes:

i freeze my leftover coffee in ice cube trays and then store them in a plastic baggie. you could brew fresh and do the same.

add the coffee cubes with milk, sugar, and hershey's chocolate syrup to the blender. blend away until you get the consistency that you want. i'm sure it would be better if you added cream instead of milk but i make do with what i have. add whip cream and chocolate syrup on top and its pretty dang close to those you buy for $4-5 a pop. :)

also, amaretto flavoring (usually found in the coffee aisle and nonalcoholic) is a good addition to regular warm coffee or to icecream and milk in the blender for an amaretto milk shake. its really yummy and a nice change.

also some wineries (and grocery stores but wineries let you taste) sell bottles of sparkling grape juice or cider. some even come flavored with raspberries and have a pink blush to them. mix that with orange juice for a fake mimosa (sp?).

you can also buy margarita mix without the alcohol and blend it up with ice and a little water.
Don't drink coffee, but lots of tea, but
am quitting the tea.  Thank you kindly
Have also heard you can drink 1 beer
and 8 glasses of water.
My aunt is elderly but her husband used to drink
This was the love of her life and they had a child together. They both worked, lived with her mother to help her out on bills after her husband died and everything except his drinking went ok. After finding him in ditches, getting DUIs, passing out and the like, nothing worked. After probably 20 something years my aunt divorced him because she knew he probably would kill himself, kill someone else or something horrible. It wasn’t that she didn’t love him but just could not live like that. That was over 40-50 years ago. She still speaks of him fondly (he died in another state in a ditch but had her phone number in his pocket) but I am sure she thought she always made the right decision. Myself, I just would not want to go through that, too much else to keep me busy. Thank goodness no children for you- would be really hard to subject a child to that.
Fixing a flat (soft drink, that is)....... (sm)
I do this one all the time: Ever leave half a Coke in the fridge, only to come back later and it's FLAT? I simply open up a new one and add some in with the flat stuff, and the result is actually a smoother, yet still carbonated soft drink. And then you haven't wasted half a can.
Oh honey...go take a pill and have a stiff drink too...
some kids are just plain bratty and mean, bios and steps, no matter what the age. Many kids know how to manipulate the situation to their advantage, especially kids from divorce. Some of us are adult enough to see through it and make others aware. Nothing wrong with kids coming first, however, parents need to know when to reign little Tommy or Susie in and stop catering to them all the time.
drink tonic water...it has the quinine it it.
Cheaper than a prescription drug. Taste like crap but it works.
100% Columbian was so bitter, couldn't drink it!
Now I'm going to buy a bottle of water. Maybe it's our water.
Favorite drink is Coca Cola, bar none.
Remember back in the mid-80's when they felt they needed to compete with Pepsi, and came out with that horrible 'New Coke'? My boyfriend and I (both Coca Cola addicts) were SO sad when *real* Coke disappeared from California. One time we were driving in Montana and came upon a little store in the middle of nowhere, which had cases of REAL Coke! We sure surprised the store-owner when be bought every box he had in the store!
I wish I could drink coffee... loads of caffine with none of the
calories! I can't drink it wihtout putting loads of sugar and milk in it, then it isnt very low cal after that!!!! I love the smell of coffee and I wish I could just drink it, but I can't get over the taste.
Learned to smoke, drink, cut classes
Graduated in the 70s. Took dancing lessons and big big big into disco. Almost entered in the show Disco Fever. I was a little overweight, certainly not popular in the "cliques". Had friends from grammar school, scouts & 4H I hung around with (those are still my friends today). I was shy and stuttered when having to speak in front of groups (still do). I wasn't a "studier" - received mostly Cs (failed science, gym & history - or barely passed). No boyfriends. Pretty boring overall, but I'd trade everything in now and do it all again.
