The phone in my bedroom does not have the ring on

Posted By: Wynette on 2007-05-26
In Reply to: Neighbor Noise - Lee

my hubby with his line of work has different sleeping hours than me so the phone does not ring so he wont be bothered. Other phones in the house have the ringers on. That solves my problem.

Wear my wedding ring and a ring my parents
gave me for my 6th Christmas (I've had it resized).   No other jewelry.  Rarely I'll wear small earrings, but usually find that with my earphones on it feels like the posts of the earrings are digging in. 
I use an extra bedroom. Just bought a 4 bedroom house so I can have an office, for one reason.
Nice and cheery, sunny, comfortable and a room all to myself! Love my office.
No, but I do have a toe ring. :)

I get it under my ring too!

Don't exactly know what you are looking for...perhaps a cracker or biscuit, but try this link. Lots of recipes to browse.

They ring an item up, put it in a bag
that is separate from the rest of the stuff, or accidentally put it on a ledge below the counter. When you get home, the item is not there.

You also have to watch Walmart prices. The advertised ale price on the shelf is frequently not the price that rings up on the register when you check out. They will change it for you (but not everyone else) if you call it to their attention.
I keep a 3-ring binder for each MD...sm

When I get a private account, I set up a small 3-ring binder with the specifics and also their samples that they give me.  I also keep the statements there until the month is completely done and then I do a monthly billing only.  Once they pay, that stuff gets transferred over every few months into a 10x13 envelope and stashed towards the following year when I do taxes....it is all part of the records that I keep should I ever get audited.  I also try to keep the private MDs pretty much the same way, unless they have account specifics besides their samples, as much as I am able to.

I need ideas for how to get kids to not ring the doorbell tonight after....sm

the light is off on the porch and it's getting late, i.e. after 9 p.m.   It amazes me the # of kids .... and adults... who don't use good common sense about trick-or-treating and ignore the usual "lights on means ok to knock/ring, lights off means go away/no goodies" rules that have been around for decades. 


I'm thinking about turning on the lawn sprinkler close to the front door - but some idiots would probably just run through it.


In the past I've put the dog out on her tie-out in the front yard and that scares some away, but the people that my dog knows get by her by just petting her because she knows them.


What are your plans/recommendations?

bedroom

I'm in a 2 bedroom place with my bedroom being the biggest, rather large for an apt.  I have it set up that one part is more of an office, then the bed.  My supe told me never to work in the bedroom because your mind was always on work then...which I never found.


Only other choice is the living room and with the kids and TV....forget that one!


In my bedroom.
That way I can work at any time without disturbing anyone or having anyone disturb me.

Guess it's just what works best for you in terms of space and solitude.

The dog thing though, don't know what you can do about that!
I'm in my bedroom closet, too! (sm)

Didn't wanna say that cause it sounds weird, but it's big, has a window, and shelves.  It's quiet and out of the way. I can close the door and forget about it when I'm not working, but can't quite remember when that is!


Wow, I really don't feel so alone now!


My office is also our 3rd bedroom.
I wanted to be able to use it as one of my business tax deductions and we have the extra room (just husband & I).

Just this past few months, I decorated my office in a tropical theme and bought the desk of my dreams (and it was cheap!). :D I love being able to sit at my desk and look out into our front yard, see the trees, our driveway, road, etc. My office is very cheerful and since I spend SO much time in it I wanted to love "going to work" :) I feel so lucky to have my own office.
Yes, in our bedroom, large though 27 x 12 - sm
We plan to build though in about 3 years (have some property)...getting a home office then....either a separate room or a room off the bedroom, but my own space anyway. Can't wait!
What you do in your own bedroom is your business
But when you try to shove it in our faces and try to make us like it, that's another matter entirely. Keep it to yourselves and leave the rest of us out of it. It is NOT an "alternate lifestyle".
In my bedroom, no fluorescents.

I have a bedroom that is used only as my office
I just love my office. I have it painted in a soft yellow and decorated in tropical decor with a wicker chair and storage chest with a decorative bamboo room divider. I have an artificial palm tree and palm tree & mirror wall hanging, as well as an artificial plant hanging from the ceiling and a decorative shell type thing hanging from the ceiling. I have an L-shaped desk with a hutch that sits in the corner where I look to the right out a window that has a bamboo type shade on it which I keep rolled up and a nice tropical/palm tree valance on it. I have my PC, a laptop, and two printers on my desk. I am going to buy a rolling TV stand to put one printer on (that I use with my laptop) to clear off some of my desk. I absolutely love my desk and my view out my front yard. I feel so lucky. :)

Years ago I had to work in our family room with the kids and TV in our old house - not good. Now, in our new house, it is just my husband and I (and our three Shih Tzu). :) I feel as though I live in this room so wanted to love coming in here and I do. :)
I use an extra bedroom currently. We

homeschool and I also have a couple of bookshelves in my office filled with school stuff and a 3-drawer rolling cart filled with school stuff, plus another desk and printer stand in addition to mine, and a 2-drawer filing cabinet.   When I am organized and have everything off the floor and clean I am very comfortable in my space, but when I have piles of books and other stuff on the floor and on the desk it isn't as pleasant a place to be.


I have worked in a BR that I had all the baby's things/toys in and that wasn't so bad because at the time I didn't have all the gadgets I have now.


I have also worked in a corner of my den and I liked being out with the family and the kitchen was right off the family room, but it is hard to work with someone watching TV and talking around you.  


 


I am in our bedroom now, but am setting up - sm
an area in our dining room slowly. Will still work in the BR (I think) during the day; but will move out to the DR when DH wants to go to bed so my typing does not keep him up. That has been a running battle for years and finally bought a new CPU as a backup and now am loading all my programs, etc. which I don't have the time to do of course. Just need to finish doing that and get a new monitor as I am using an ancient one right now that is probably around 12 years old now, huge bugger. If I like it out there more I may work out there during the day too.
Another happy bedroom worker...
My only complaint is that my carpet is cold when I step from my bed 2 inches to my computer during my morning commute...
speaking of "working from your bedroom"

I used to hate when people would think that I worked at home doing one of those jobs you see posted on phone poles "work from home/make 2500 a month part time, etc.  Even by bozo cousin had people calling me about "how to get started".........and then there were the nosey neighbors, who would get so curious as to what you did do at home to earn an income,


Finally came up with a great response that just shut them all up in their tracks....


"I love working from home, never have to worry about getting dressed and can make as much money as I want without even having to leave my bedroom depending on how much I felt like producing each day w/o getting sore muscles"...left a lot of them to wonder LOL


What I do in my bedroom, I don't think of as work, hehehe
:)
sort of, I'm in our bedroom closet.
The three other bedrooms are occupied by our kids. I used to have one of the bedrooms before daughter moved back home, but I rather like the closet, it's very quiet.
Master Bedroom--one day will have my own space though - sm
probably in 5 or so years....going to move and build on some property we have 12 miles from where we are now....so it with either be an extra bedroom or "the study" downstairs. My husband will be happier as he has trouble falling to sleep when I am working (noisy/hard keyboard).
Thanks but where did the 850 foot bedroom come into the picture?

Office in livingroom or bedroom?

Would like your opinions, advice, pros and cons on whether you have your office in a main part of the house or separate room.  Right now mine is in a main part of the house, but I get constantly distracted by disabled husband, TV and dogs barking etc.  If it's not my dogs barking, it is the neighbors barking (all day long!).  What do the rest of you do? 


I have converted a bedroom into an office. (sm)
The windows all look out into the woods so I can take a restful gaze when I want to. If the door is open it leaves me a clear shot through the living room and the front door so I can see if anyone comes in or out and I didn't hear them. My elderly mom lives with me so I don't want to be too isolated. We live in the country so dog, cat, chicken, cattle noises and a train that runs not too far from my house are all part of the natural background noise and I don't even notice them.

Have bedroom only for work place
Sit to where I can see out to the mailbox and my driveway. I have my television in here though and also husband wanted to join me so he has his computer desk right behind me. He could have had his own room but he wanted to be close to his honey. It works out really well.

separate bedroom makes sense
at my last 2 places that I lived I always had my office in a separate room but Iwas on 1 floor and I guess I felt more "together" that way. I am going to give my upstairs extra room a chance.  At least I will have a window that sees a pretty scene small creek, tall trees.  The only downfall my little dog cannot look out the window there as the windows are too high!  Thanks all. 
No never, I'd procrastinate if it was on. My husband comes in the bedroom at night after dinner,
and turns on the TV, the minute he leaves (generally after watching it for 5 minutes) I turn it off, otherwise it would just be on and he'd be at the other end of the house  watching TV in the LR, waste of electric and distracts me to no end. But I can relate with getting motivated, I am not as devoted as I should be but plan to really get serious in the Fall when school starts up again. I had planned to buckle down this year but life did not let that happen unfortunately. For now I plan to just work late, get up early.....the kids do not allow much work during the Summer, at least not all day.....I can squeeze 2-4 hours in during the day but it can be tough. Just do the best you can.
Our third bedroom serves solely as an office. I love it! nm

I started too but home office got moved to bedroom. sm.
Now have to use earphones when husband is sleeping. I actually prefer the earphones just because my speakers weren't the best but it worked well the other way too.
I've thought about sitting in the camper or locking myself in the bedroom before,
but those wouldn't work either.  I've been trying to take a nap all weekend due to lack of sleep and a nasty cold, but every five minutes, someone's pounding on the locked bedroom door and whining for Mooooommm!!!!  Cripes, sometimes I can't even use the bathroom or take a shower without five or six interruptions.  As much as I love them, my entire family has been driving me apestuff this past week.  My office is currently in the living room with the phone, TV, video game system, stereo, front door, and most of the household foot traffic running through.  That's going to change soon when we turn the old dining room into a private office with soundproof walls and a locking door.

C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm
nm
I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big

difference.  Also, have you tried a different headset?  Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone.  It's a tiny hole.  If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well.  As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year.  Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology.  So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.


I know very little about Lanier equipment.  I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone.  Is there a local appliance repair place in your area?  You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think.  Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.


Not much help, I know.  But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 


I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.
