I know odd things have struck me funny and I ever get a case of the giggles it is hard to get rid of them. Of course, every time you mention anything about it or think about it you can't help but start laughing all over again.

Just for giggles this winter sm
I used my electric potpourri pot with some liquid potpourri added to the water. I helped out tremendously while adding a nice scent to the air. It didn't toss out white dust like my cheapie humidifier did and the noise of a running humidifier wasn't there either. I also put bowls of water in front of the register in both winter and summer for a little humidity.

Gave me the giggles!!! LOL!!!
LOL...wicked giggles...kinda makes me wonder if the above MT can bring themselves to type the terms for private parts...or are they offensive also? One could wonder...hmmm...Please forgive me, I truly mean no offense, I just could not resist. I have a nice set of horns to counter your halo.

On a professional note, I too believe that if it is stated, it should be type. Those types of direct quotes help indicate a patient's character and/or state of mind. They are a very important part of the medical record and should never be left out unless specifically asked by the client!

People...please do not take offense, I have a truly wicked sense of humor is all!!! LOL.

Okay, just for grins and giggles, to continue

I just brought up that document from last night that I had in Word - and this is what I came up with:

5889 characters w/o spaces divided by 65 gives you 90.6 lines

6959 characters w/spaces divided by 65 gives you 107.06 lines

6959 characters w/spaces divided by 55 gives you 126.5 lines

Anyway, I am no math genius - and my husband helped me last night to figure out the percentage - but there was a 15.4% difference between 65 character line with and w/o - you will have to do the math yourself to figure out the % difference between your 55 character line - but w/o spaces you definitely lose and looks to be substantial difference when you factor in your 55 character line. Good luck!! It sure made our decision easier! :))
