I feed Innova too, the Evo brand

Posted By: Romey on 2006-03-14
In Reply to: re: report on companion animal pet food ingredients - sansie

I would love to feed BARF and have tried in the past, but it confused me, read 3 books on it, but I was always afraid I wasn't using enough of the right ingredients and being a vegitarian the meat handling was a lot for me to deal with. I also subscribe to the Whole Dog Journal, great magazine. Would love to have a sheltie in the future. I have an American Eskimo right now who I love dearly and 3 cats, feed all of them Evo with fresh chicken nightly. Glad others here are aware of the terrible ingredients of commercial companion animal food. Thanks for sharing.

I will not feed the trolls...I will not feed the troll
I will not feed the troll. Geez, she is everywhere.

BB and now who won HOH last night?
Please do not feed the troll.

I will not feed the troll...I will not feed the troll...

I can't feed the trolls
I promised myself I would not antagonize the almighty know-it all's that keep attacking poor innocent posters with vicious rude remarks. It only keeps it going. Even though I would really like to tell a couple of them off, and one in particular. Let 'em starve, I guess. Maybe they will go away eventually.
What does this mean, I will not feed the troll?

Exactly! As we say around here, "don't feed the
trolls"!! It does work, and I know how hard it is not to respond to the flamingly rude posts, but like you said, if we all try, the TROLL will lose its power and go away. I'm game!! I will not feed the troll...I will not feed the troll...
I get no feed back from QA at all, zip from my MQ office.
:
go to Africa and feed them rice, better yet

or by your conception, you could feed your son to your puppy.

yes me too nn - i need to be reminded not to feed the trolls -
it is hard like you say, especially since that's probably just what they want - to get everyone riled up and upset. We are better than that !
I agree...will not feed the troll...will not
feed the troll. They are everywhere just waiting to jump and criticise, and make a fool out of you. trolls disappear...trolls disapear.
Here's another one. Don't feed the trolls ladies!

Even 9 cpl is chicken-feed. I'm making (sm)
9.5 cpl, working 10-12 hours a day, and still barely making ends meet. Unfortunately I've been at this a long, long time (28+ years) and don't know how to do anything else. It's a little late to be going back to school, too. Still, if the right opportunity should arise, I will probably jump ship.
Zzzzzz! :D Don't feed the trolls. nm
......
Oh, feed the poor trolls.....they must be starving!

Looking for feed back from someone who uses AT&T as their internet provider sm
I get my work over the internet and am just wondering how they are with their services. If you lose your internet, how long does it usually take to get it back up? Do you find them helpful if you have to call? Do they return phone calls promptly? Do they come in and set it up, or do you have to? I'd appreciate any info and feedback about their services. Thanks!
Link for local TV feed in NO, LA. Special forum for

so what if they wrote the check to feed their kids that were starving, would you buy them some groce
some people just can't make ends meet. what i see as wrong with that is our government.
Yup, and all those happy rabbits and cats think WE'RE gonna feed them. The nerve!
And no matter what we say, they'll just keep on having baby after baby, just like animals!  The unfairness of it all! What will become of us all?
this show certainly should not feed bobby brown's ego. it makes him look foolish and whitney nut
his only claim to fame pitifully enough is he is married to whitney houston and looking at whitney in the depths of her insanity, that's really not much of a claim.
I don't know about you, but I've got kids to feed, clothe, and house. I need to make a decent

living.  I'm not going to be cheated.  It sounds as though you've decided to let yourself be used and abused aby the MTSOs all with a big smile on your face.  Whatever!  It's MTs like you, not I, that have caused the pay rates to decline.  MTs like you who will accept whatever abuse they companies hand out, accept being cheated, and accept losing jobs to India. 


You'll be back on here next week or next month posting under a different name, crying about your paycheck and looking for sympathy. 


Not REALLY a brand name but please SM
This is a mouthwash specially compounded by a pharmacy - I think it originated at Duke University. I usually capitalize Magic because it's not really generic and not really a brand name. JMO
No, not a brand name.

They are brand new.

I think 100 may be a lot for brand new newbies. nm

Maybe it is just the particular model/brand
I have had I believe three Fantoms now (first one so heavy so bought second one years later, then ran over big screw and broke the bar on the bottom of the second one). I have the HEPA filters and have never had to do anything with them - not even change them as mine have a button that is suppose to pop up to tell you when it needs to be replaced. I have probably owned these over the past 10 years or more.

You are right, emptying the cannister can be a little messy - I do what you do and go outside, use a plastic grocery bag to empty it in (or better yet have husband do it) as I, too, have severe allergies.

If I had to choose though, I would still go bagless as I hated changing and buying the bags and once they got about half full you didn't get the suction like you do with an empty bag/cannister.

I am not familiar with the type you have where you have to clean the filter. Ugh.
Look below regarding the Noisebuster brand!
They may work for you too. Good luck!
My brand is SoftFlex, but if you use
a straight keyboard, there is a heated keyboard you could get. Or put a heating pad in your lap. http://www.x-tremegeek.com/templates/searchdetail.asp?productID=10313&sk=MX51419
Goldtouch is brand name. see msg.
www.goldtouch.com

I always get mine on eBay. They aren't cheap but you definitely get what you pay for and they are great, in my opinion.
What brand of LCD monitor to buy? sm

I am really troubled by eye strain ... got new computer glasses from eye doc but still not happy ... a number of people have said I should swap my CRT monitor out for a flat screen LCD.  I'm game to do it, but have been reading reviews until I'm brain-dead!  Thought maybe you folks here might share what brand of LCD you are using, and if you are happy with it for word processing.  I hear some are better for text than others, and I don't want to shell out the bucks without looking into it.  TIA!



Brand is Saitek....
I am on my third one and I love it. Have yet to find another keyboard with a touch like this one. It is not silent - it clicks, which is what I really like about it. Nothing at all like a laptop keyboard which make my fingers dyslexic. Bought a MS keyboard, but it sits in the corner as I type much faster with my Saitek, worn off letters and all. The fact that the letter disappear is my only complaint. The light up feature is nice, but in my opinion not bright enough. Gotta say though, it is pretty cool 'cause you can change the colors to purple, red or blue.
I have one for sale still that is brand new...
I bought mine from Dictran in May but have never used it as I ended up taking another job that doesn't use this. I'm asking $85 if you are interested. You can also E-mail me.
I got a brand new computer

custom built by a small shop here in town with XP instead of Vista.  Don't count out a small business being able to help you!  Cheaper than a Dell, too...


HP is the LAST brand I would recommend!! sm

I have had an HP desktop, which gave me occasional problems, but nothing big.  i got an HP laptop last year, and it has been one headache after another.  First the wireless connection died, I have had to do a major system restore, I have had to send it in to HP for service, and it still doesn't work right.  OTOH, DH bought a Gateway laptop this year that is pretty much the same as mine as far as specs,  and he hasn't had a bit of trouble with his.  I would recommend either a Gateway or a Toshiba. 


You say you're brand new at this
Unfortunately, what you think is "the worst" may very well be the best. Well not actually the best, but probably the norm.  Give it some time to adjust.  Are you new in general, or just new to at-home work?
Generic vs Brand drugs
I have these in my Shorthand program and they are typed correctly - upper or lower case. No matter how I type them they wind up correct. If the word is at the beginning of a sentence, Shorthand capitalizes it there, which would be correct.
KCl is the generic, Kay Ciel name brand
Offsite MTs have no way of knowing if physcian is using name brand or not unless he specifies. In most cases a service will defer to the generic to be as accurate as possible.
Magic mouthwash? Is that a brand name?
NM
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.
i love clickys, where, what brand?
they are hard to find
Love it! Did you know you can get brand new on eBay?

brand new blade every single....nm

I adore my Dyson. Will never buy another brand. sm
It runs circles around any other vacuum I've ever used (and I feel like I've tried them all). 
That's it. Thanks! Not a big name brand person but I do know the Chanel name. Just
couldn't think of what the logo could be. It's CC for Coco Chanel I'm guessing? Thanks!
What brand of personal computer do U have?
I'm looking to buy a computer (non-work) and I wuz wondering what everyone else has and recommends. I'm considering a Dell...
I have Abacus SE, brand new with disk. s/m
I paid $40 for it about two months ago. It is very user friendly and prints out invoices. I'll sell it for half price plus shipping if you are interested.
Brand of computer not that important.

If you are using other than a USB connection with your foot pedal you'll probably need an adapter.  You'll need an external keyboard and may need an adapter to convert it from PS/2 to USB depending on the computer and what keyboard you have.  You need to have a wireless/ethernet (which is pretty standard these days).  You should also have a dial-up modem just in case.  You need 512 RAM and a good sound card.


I have worked on a laptop for 6 years.  I also travel a lot.  I've had 3 different brands and brand doesn't really matter.  Being able to get an internet connection is the difficult part, although with technology advances it isn't as difficult as it used to be. 


 


SoftFlex is my brand of glove.
Putting a heating pad on your lap is another idea, though it heats your arms before your hands. If you sit near a window, a cold draft can cross your desk and dump right onto your hands, so winterizing windows or moving your desk away can help that.

DH enjoys the fact I have cold hands. He claims that every time I touch him I say, "You're warm!" and then I hold his hand or scratch his back because he's so delightfully warm. So he benefits from my little problem. :op


brand does not matter --- look inside
Basically, speed is everything. The faster your motherboard can process any commands from the keyboard and/or any programs you are running, how fast your hard drive turns so that the information your ROM/RAM is looking for can find it, and the amount of RAM you have that is not being used could possibly make the difference between achieving your line rate comfortably and not achieving them. If you work on the internet, the speed of your internet plays a factor, but only if your computer is capable of downloading and storing at the faster speed.

I have an MT I am mentoring who was using one of my laptops. We live in an area where we can get 8 MB of download. She was achieving her daily line counts 3 out of 5 days. She decided to buy a laptop and return mine. The laptop she now has only has 512 MB RAM, 2.6 Hz motherboard, and 540 RPM hard drive. She has had it for over a month, and has not yet had a day where she has made line counts. She is very frustrated.

Sometimes people who cannot make line counts for some of the companies where they work directly through the internet (VPN), it is not because of stipping the lines and/or ability of the MT, it has everything to do with the speech of the computer, the internet, and the VPN they are attached to.
