In Reply to: Did anyone watch Frontline last night? I will NEVER shop in Wal-Mart again. - You'll find me at Target
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.

Store brand regular ole coffee for me
It looks like I'm in the minority.
I'd just paint over it with black/grey paint - sm
whatever the color of the pavement is.
My hubs got one at the music store that he uses while playing guitar. Or maybe a furniture store. Or

What about paint thinner? (nm)

All you have to do is paint on a sealant and no problem

Its their house and should be able to paint it whatever color they want
Come on. Just because it doesnt suit you,doesnt mean they shouldnt do something. They paid money and worked their tail off to pay for it, they should be free to do what they want with it.
I thought that was what America was all about.
Geez
For the nickel allergy, you can paint
the metal with clear nail polish. I do that where my watch sits against my skin - one of my MDs suggested it.
I have very mild eczema, and my skin likes the new Ivory soap that has aloe vera in it.
Well, I myself buy on Craigs and guess what, had free paint
that I did not want and advertised and gave it away so guess all is not a scam. Craigs List really in your bigger towns I guess but I do not have the time or patience to wait to see if I bid correctly. I just bought a persian rug for 95$ that had a 750$ tag sewn in in the back, good deal, huh?
Bought best concrete paint Sherwin Williams had
I have painted my front porch umteen times, but I have never put a primer under it. That may be the key to it not peeling and flaking off. I thought I'd give it one more try this year (when it cools down a bit) but talk to them about a primer first. No one has told me to prime it and I'm not sure if there is even a primer for concrete as I don't know that much about painting, but I'm hoping that may be the key. I even bought the No-Slip concrete paint once... I hated it! It looked terrible when it started flaking off! Good Luck on your project and hope someone knows more than I do to help you.
Paint over the letters with clear fingernail polish.

Spray paint is oil based. Regular cleaners
will not remove it. My recommendation is for you to go to the paint department of your local Home Depot or Lowe's and ask them. They should be very knowledgable about it. I used to work in the paint department at Home Depot, but it was a loooooong time ago, so I cannot remember what product you should use.

Please consider another store, please
Please read about Walmart and how it destroys small town businesses, among other ethical considerations. PLEASE consider shopping elsewhere.
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
I don't have a store...
I do auctions. I try to be very careful about what I list. I love books and have in the thousands of them, mostly educational material. I have been selling those on half.com for a long time, so my time listed as a member is about 6 years. It has only been in the last couple of months that I really started trying to power sell--everything you can think of--collectibles, books, clothes, my felt sets, shoes, etc. You just have to watch the market and know that what you list will sell (hopefully) so that you don't lose money in fees. I am still learning, but so far I have been very lucky and have made some good sales.

No, not a brand name.

They are brand new.

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.
The UPS Store only allows the automatic $100 if you pay
them to package your stuff. I learned that one trying to ship equipment back to my former employer. I wasn't about the shell out even more money for them to box up something that I put back in the company's original box.
as you are leaving the store...nm

Look below regarding the Noisebuster brand!
They may work for you too. Good luck!
I go to Kroger's too, our store here does not do it - sm
though, at least I have never seen it there. Granted most of the time I do the self checkout but when I do go through a regular line I have not encountered it. I really like our Krogers too, I only wish their prices were a bit lower....my husband can easily drop $100-$200 when he goes shopping there.
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
You can store their reports, but sm
to give them access at their own free will is not the way I would go. Of course, I charge my accounts when I have to search archives. It is a flat rate even if I find the document or not. If I find it, then it is faxed. I have never really heard of letting your client search your files though. In other words, they get a copy of the original report. If they lose it, they get charged again. Right or wrong, I don't know, but that is my method.
Almost any computer store will have them.
I bought a laptop about 5 months ago that has XP, but is Vista compatible. I don't think everything has Vista on it right now because there are still too many problems with it. If you went to any of the big box electronic stores they should have one with XP.
Goldtouch is brand name. see msg.

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.
I tell my hubby I have to run to the store,
and he said he would like to see that.....
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.
I've never seen one in a store, certainly not
the chain stores.
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?
Look for a product in the store that...sm
the scout ants will carry back to their nest(?) and eradicate the entire colony. What I used was a product that was a small, enclosed tin thing with a hole in top. It held a poisonous gel. I think there were 3 in a box. Sorry, can't remember the name. Anyway, I never saw ants in the house since using these.
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.
And, the meat in the grocery store comes
I believe that if you buy "beef" it comes from cows, an animal. I believe if you buy "chicken" it comes from chickens, an animal.
Magic mouthwash? Is that a brand name?

I was a cashier in a grocery store and
he came in to buy groceries for his mother. We were both 17 and married 1-1/2 years later, been married for almost 27-1/2 years now.  
have you tried the library (if you still have one) or the grocery store...
like, lingering, you know? I have been approached many times by men like that...
how about friends, does anyone have a set-up for you, even just for some companionship?
how about volunteering for things, like a food pantry or wildlife center.
of coures, goes without saying to be cautious always when out in public these days...
also, laundromats I always see single guys...
anyone else?
Thanks fine for a warehouse store where they don't bag.

I would buy before you go, on-line, Disney Store - sm
The ticket lines were long at Disney, as for buying at a resort, I don't know, we have always bought in advance, granted not on this trip (comped by Make a Wish) Call a resort and ask. As for International Drive, if it is the road I think it is (Hwy 192) (we just got back ourselves) be prepared for tons of traffic on that road, ripped up for construction, and traffic lights every 1/4 mile it seemed too. Going to Disney was not a problem, it was driving back that took a bit extra time. Universal was pretty wild though, first time there for us. You will have a blast!
Put notices up at the grocery store,etc.
advertising homemade pies, cakes, breads etc. A lot of the famous and rich people in this type of industry started off this way. I think it isn't that big, at least not in the smaller cities, but we have people that come into your home, plan a menu with you and then cook so many meals a week. There is also a business that just started near me where you go to their store, they have all the makings for 6 different meals and you just put them all together. One place has cooking lessons for kids and also opens to kids cookie parties and he is doing very well. Work with a caterer prn. I live in a city of about 230,000 and we have events that are seasonal where caterers are hiring dozens of people, with June coming up they will be hiring to help with weddings.
I know lots of people with psychology degrees and none of them are working in their field because there just aren't any jobs.
You don't mention a husband or kids, but if you are young and no responsibilities now is the time to go out on the limb.
None of the above would require a huge time commitment or financial commitment and you could test the waters while still having a FT income. If it took off you could scale back your hours, or try and do both for a while and get your debts paid off and then be in a position to jump in with both feet.
Our local community college has a culinary program. I think it is still largely male dominated, but still lots of females too. I don't know if this is a 1 year or 2 year program, though I think it does require a lot of hours. You could do it during the day and work nights/weekends. It wouldn't be easy, but nights/weekends usually pay more.
If you want it bad enough you'll find a way.

i love clickys, where, what brand?
they are hard to find
I feed Innova too, the Evo brand
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.
Love it! Did you know you can get brand new on eBay?
