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!

Any office supply place, like Office Depot or Staples. Try copyholder instead of typing stand.

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
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. 
I have had a drink while typing but ....sm
usually just one and I don't get drunk.
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

Gotta learn to count to 10.

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.

What does LOL stand for.
Use to think it meant lots of luck, but that doesn't pertain to this board.
I Can't Stand Men Your Age Either!!


I married older because I thought he would have his you-know-what together.  WRONG!  He went down, financially-speaking, and took me down with him.  I heard he's in the middle of divorcing his third wife (I was his second).


But...boy, did I love him.


I can't stand him ever since
he did the show on Tourette syndrome and Asperger syndrome and called the show "extreme disorders." That was pretty crappy. And the Asperger kid's parents were totally abusive and Dr. Phil didn't even call them on it.

But I have to admit I watch it, its like reading National Equirer- I'm drawn to it but embarrassed to admit it!
What's HMR stand for? n/m

Can't stand her!
The reason the paparazzi follow her is because they know she will do something ignorant like she always does. You don't see many other celebs being chased like she is. If she would act like a decent adult then they would have no reason to follow her around. But she continues to act like a child to get the attention she wants. It makes me the maddest because those paparazzi drive so recklessly, and one of these days they are going to injure or even kill someone when they hit them head on by driving down the wrong side of the road. Ugh. Makes me sick. Like the OP said, STAY HOME! Its like the time she drove with her baby on her lap and everyone coddles her and told her it was okay, people make mistakes. Um, NO. That is not a mistake. That is a blatantly wrong thing to do. I am just so tired of her, and I wish she would drop her custody case and just let Kevin have the boys. At least he is stable.
I stand by what I said.

Her daughter called and maybe she did think her mom was upset, but the fact that her mom got annoyed by this is just insane.  If she was on an important phone call with her dying aunt, why she bothered to answer her other phone, no matter who was calling, is beyond me.  As a result, she posted this topic about whether she should let the answering machine get the phone or she should disconnect her phone. That is a no brainer.  If you don't want to talk to someone or are on another important call, let the answering machine get it.    She made mention that she might let the answering machine pick up all of her daughter's calls and not call back just to see what her daughter will think.....isn't that a bit childish.


So I don't know her whole family history and maybe her son is an ungrateful turd.  If he won't talk to his mom because she got money he thought he deserved, that is his problem.  But for her to not be the adult and bigger person by at least trying to mend that relationship......as far as I'm concerned, she can't blame everything on him if she isn't willing to mend it either.


As for her happiness and family getting her down....sounds to me as if she is the one who thinks her family owes her something since she bailed her son out of jail and paid for her daughter's college.  If she is so happy with her laugh and content, why in the world she is posting on here about whether or not she should let the answering machine pick up her daughter's phone calls? 


I have no sympathy for someone who isn't smart enough to make the decision of whether or not to answer her telephone. 


Stand up!

Why do our companies never stand up to dictators like this?  I have one who honestly sounds like he's drunk and he speaks English as a first language!  I call him smushmouth because all I can understand is smusha-smusha-smusha at any speed level.  I had one at an old hopsital who had narcolepsy!  He would literally fall asleep while dictating so you'd have to sit there and wait for him to wake back up and then he'd start over or start in the middle of a sentence he never began.  Drives me nuts.


What kills me too is that one of my in-laws is from Russia.  Her mom was a doctor there.  She can't become a doctor here because she says her English isn't good enough and it costs so much money to take the tests to get her reciprocal certification.  Heck her English is 10 times better than half the idiots we get so how do THEY pass the test?  Sorry needed to vent today!


I can't stand...
walkie talkie cell phones. It's bad enough to hear one side of someone else's conversation standing in line at the grocery store. I DO NOT want to hear BOTH sides. Especially if it's a dumb argument. Take it outside or wait until you get home!
can't stand the.....
GEICO caveman commercials... I just don't get it...
...especially the one where the caveman and his chick are on the beach with the metal detector and he finds keys with a GEICO key fob and tosses down his equipment, then the girlfriend picks it all up for him... yeah.. in his DREAMS!! LOL
maybe not the stand, but instead I am
Maybe it was on purpose. The man who gave Obama the tour died two days later.
I can't stand him.

Can't stand Rosie, but never ....
thought much of Donald either.  I can't believe how much attention this whole thing is getting.  I wish they would both go away.
I had PMS so bad I couldn't stand myself let alone anyone
else. I got a great PMS pill from a chiropractor that helped a lot, and after moved from that area I would buy mega-B vitamin pills and take them. They really made a difference. Good luck and, believe me, you have a LOT of company! I had PMS long before they ever put a name on it.
I can't stand TV in general.

I watch MAYBE 1 hour a week of regular ol' TV and that is just local news blurbs.  I am a big movie fanatic though.


What I really can't stand about the crap coming over the airways is the constant barrage of DRUG ADS--whether they are for prescription drugs or OTC stuff.  It's just too much.


I saw a spot on the news about how stores are contemplating putting in little LCD screens into those "kiddie carts" that the adult can plug $1 into, put the kid in the plastic car/cart thing, so the kid basically can stay numbly tuned into some show while the parents shops in quiet comfort. 


Heaven forbid kids are made to behave while out in public.  Oh don't even get me going on the sheer retardedness of it all...


I never could stand all the talking over each other.
From the very beginning, it seemed like at least 3 of them were so excited to talk they were hyperventilating and jumping in and talking over each other. Not my cup of tea.


I can't stand doctors like that who won't
listen. At least a colonoscopy is good for about 10-15 years, LOL.


Dont think you have a leg to stand on
The difference between owning and renting is what you are up against. The swimming pool does not belong to you, nothing around there as far as buildings and so on is yours. The owners have the right to come onto their own property, I would think, and throw down as many cigarettes as they want, they own it, right? Otta luck, seems like.
Do you have a backbone, can you not stand
up for yourself? People only take advantage of you if you let them. I have a very good word for people like this, NO.
Good for you, stand your course
she should have been sent home and should not be allowed to return. Your home, your rules.

Eww I can't stand Syesha.
Way too cocky.  If she had half the talent she *thinks* she has, she would be amazing.  But she doesn't.
I just CAN'T STAND drunks. So I think they
18-year-olds are dumb enough already. They sure don't need to be compounding that with alcohol.
