I think i know my kids better than you and at least it is some kind of security.

It's kind of like with picky little kids.
You have to serve them certain things at least 10 times before they get used to them enough to eat them. And always serve the vegetables first so you eat them when you're the most hungry. I'm not a vegetarian, but I do try to make at least half my plate at each meal vegetables or fruit. There are some veggies I won't eat cooked, but they're great raw. There are some veggies that taste better fresh and steamed than canned and reheated. I finally like onions and red peppers but it took forever to adjust my tastes.
I'm waiting for hubby to make some Italian veggie omelettes right now. Spinach, tomatoes, onions, peppers, fresh garlic with eggs, Italian seasoning, low fat mozzarella and a sprinkle of parmesan. 12-grain toast, cantaloupe and Italian dark roast coffee on the side.
Can't do it. Word is kind of a clumsy program, there's a lot that is self-evident that it sho
1. Take care of that capitalization issue you were talking about.
2. Capitalize after a colon : 99% of the time, you want a capital.
3. Capitalize reliably after a period. If doing numbers, like 3.7 for a potassium, or 6.8 for a white count, it won't cap after the period (White count 2.8. hemoglobin was... the H in hemoglobin won't auto cap). Come on, Microsoft. Let us decide if we want it or not. Or what to apply it to (tables).
4. About 7 other things that it could do better, but they never work on it. Not as sexy as photos, TVs, gaming. I don't think Microsoft will ever look at Word from the production typist point of view.
Just my input. In the new versions, it won't even capitalize in a numbered list, if you don't hit the shift key. Why are we hitting the shift key 30 years after computers came out? SHouldn't they be doing the work???

I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!! You know exactly what you said. You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed! You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT. Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you. Why have kids at all? Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked! Give me a break! Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT. Your own words showed your heart. Period.
PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.
I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.
So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.
Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.
I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary. How do they skirt the law Radguy?

call her by her first name. The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away.
I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated. Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie. :-)
But, as someone pointed out, to each his own. If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that. I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks." 
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
Please do not simply give up, kids or no kids!
Talk with a professional. This can be worked through if he really puts forth the effort and you participate. The right counseling can truly make your marriage even better than it was before, if BOTH parties are willing to be honest. Give it a try. Nothing to lose at this point and everything to gain!
M-TEC has a Basic program (12 month) and a Premier program (18 month). To WAH, you should take the P

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

It just seems like something always happens right before Christmas.
We both just had job changes due through no fault of our own. We basically had a month of no income there. Oh, but everyone has to have the annual Christmas drawing. Can't let us off the hook even if I have to hock my wedding band. OK, so I'm in a pity party mood today.
Christmas
I was just telling my kids the other day how I miss saying Merry Christmas this time of year and really do not like Happy Holidays! So I have started saying it again. I have no problem with other celebrations this time of year so why do we Christians have to change because of it. Being politically correct is not always best for what is in your heart. So, on that note Merry Christmas to everyone!
Christmas
Thanks, Sheri, for your uplifting message. It is, after all, CHRISTmas--not Happy Holidays like so many merchants around here are saying. It seems that they are benefiting from all the customers purchasing CHRISTmas gifts, don't you think?
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!

This profession has taught me to celebrate life, no matter what. I am tolerant of all views. I happen to celebrate Christmas and I think we should all join together. Is everyone Irish on St. Patrick's Day? Come on, lighten up and enjoy, enjoy, celebrate life.
Thanks! Now I know what to get Mom for Christmas!

Add yours: All I want for Christmas is
A kitchen where I can walk in every day and not have to battle stinking solider ants invading from the southern wall of dirt my home is built into.
For Christmas....
we received a cute Christmas poem thanking us along with a book with a CD of the song "Live Like You Were Dying." A great recognition from a great company!

Rad guy,
First I think all families are a bit dysfunctional. I say this from experience, I could tell you stories that would make your family probably seem normal. As a born again Christian for 30 some years now, I would have to argue with your nephew. It sounds like he may belong to a way out church or cult. Being married or single does not get you to heaven according to my Bible (King James Version). John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I believe is this, God made the way very simple, it is people who add things and try to make it complicated.
You might ask him if he thinks the apostle Paul made it to heaven? He was not married and actually he thought it better for a church worker not to be married because they could dedicate themselves to God.
One more verse for you to use would be the following.
1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Some Christian forget that people find God through love, not being beat over the head. It doesn't sound like your nephew is being meek, but a Bully. This is not God's way. God is a gentleman, who knock on the door of peoples hearts and waits for them to answer. He does not break down the door. He created us with free will, he is not going to force himself on us.
Good Luck.
Sandy
had it since before Christmas
I'm about 95% well now but I came down with it about a week before Christmas. Never felt so bad for so long in all my life. Of course, I tried so many OTC meds, but I did find some temporary relife by boiling a pot of water and holding me head over it and just trying to breathe. You can add a bit of vinegar too although I was so sore already from coughing and sneezing that it seemed a bit much. You can also put a towel over your head as you do this to keep the steam in. Short-term relief but at times I was desparate for anything. I also found that I seemed to finally start turning the corner when I drank lots and lots of orange juice. You have my sympathy--it is awful.
Christmas is the same way. A lot of the ESL
dictators do not celebrate Christmas so they volunteer to work so that those who do celebrate can be with their families.
Thanks! I do most of my Christmas shopping
Love the fact that I can work and shop at the same time! And it's all delivered to me!
How much does everyone spend on Christmas? sm
Just for presents, not for other things like decorations and food and stuff.
We are a family of 4, kids age 2 and 5. We also buy for my family (mom, dad, 3 sisters, brother) and his family kids (6 of them) and then we do 2 $25 gifts to exchange in a game. Just wondering what everyone's budget looks like and what everyone spends. We will probably spend about $1200 this year. Is this outrageous? It seems like a lot, but yes, our kids are spoiled
THe best Christmas lights ever...lol
Someone just sent me this web page and my kids loved it. Has music attached to the web page too.

We always get something for Christmas and MT Week sm
Last year we got a card and a Blockbuster gift card for two movies, popcorn and pop. I loved it! It felt like a relaxing evening on Keystrokes. We usually get them real close to Christmas so I am not expecting anything for a few weeks :)
Christmas bonus
I have five accounts and usually get an average of a month's pay. anywhere from 1700 to 200 per account.
Do they give them MTs anything for Christmas?
Just wondering if anyone knew
Christmas bonus
Last year I got a $50.00 Walmart gift card from my company. Nice gift. This year I received a $25.00 gift card from Walmart. My company merged with another company, there are taking on new accounts right and left, I worked every single holiday, many many weekeds and when ever they would asked for help, and my bonus is half of last years. This is really sad and hurtful to say the least.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you Sherri and thanks for sticking to your beliefs. Although I am Jewish, my children have always known both Christmas and Hanukah and are the bettter for it. Christmas is infectious and it is one disease I am grateful to have been infected with. Although we understand and worship both (hubby is Christian), we also honor and respect the right of all to believe and celebrate as they feel. Politics has no place interfering with the feeling of caring and generosity that people show more prevalently during this time of year. Christmas spirit has nothing to do with religion -- it has to do with spirituality. If the truth be known, I feel that the spirit of caring and giving is shown year-round in many ways to many people, and I don't hear people complaining. It takes many good people in this world to help those less fortunate.
Merry Christmas
Thank you Sheri and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all of you!
Thanks Sheri for the post!
How many of you (Christmas question)
Decorate more than 1 Christmas tree around your house. My cousin has 7. I'm right now at 4 just cuz I like to do different things and I still have 1 that I'm deciding on for the basement. I have a small fiber optic that has nativity ornaments, a 4-foot fiber optic that is an angel tree, a green (just lights) tree, and my regular 6 foot all the good old hand made and little kids ornaments. So I'm wondering are we the only crazy ones or do other people have more than 1.
A joyous Christmas season to you all.
Christmas gifts
I don't know your sisters, but if they are practical like I am, they might enjoy receiving a flowering plant (something to enjoy for months/years to come).
Also, with the price of gas as high as it is, a "gas card" would be nice. Or maybe a phone card for cell phone 'minutes'. How about a maid for a day? (I would love for someone to clean my windows for me.) Well now that you know what I want for Christmas, I will just sit back and wait . . . ;)
Merry CHRISTmas
Reminds me of when I was an office manager --
There was an employee who stated she was an atheist. She was very persistent in boycotting anything to do with CHRISTmas. Guess what? She was the first one with her hand open when it came time to pass out CHRISTmas bonuses. She also wrote "holiday pay" on her time card for CHRISTmas day. Hmmmm...
Of all my Christmas trees..
In the 1960s we had the aluminum tree with the color wheel! I still remember it vividly today (I was a small child). I was in an antique shop the other day and they had one set up as decoration (not for sale). I wanted one! I'll have to check E-Bay!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
That makes me feel good. I am so frelling tired of Happy Holidays or enjoy the holidays. Well, my holiday is Christmas. Holi-day or Holy Day Christmas, you know the day that Christ was born. So anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone.
Merry Christmas to you, too!
nm
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO!!
My holiday is Christmas, the day I celebrate my Savior's birth. I praise His birth all year long. Too bad those without true spiritual guidance try to take it away from those that do. They need our prayers, for they are truly missing something in their lives, to have to stick their noses in others.
Merry Christmas to you all!
and to all a goodnight. 
Merry Christmas!
  Merry Christmas EVERYONE! Wow, Sheri, I am so happy to see that the owner of this board shares the same beliefs that I do.
Merry CHRISTmas to you too.
Merry Christmas, but I though this
was a transcription board.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all about Christmas. SM
I am sick of the people having to say CHRISTmas to get their point across. We all know what Christmas is without all that ___.
