Hi: I get a goosenecked lamp with a wide head and position it so that it shines on my hands and keyboard. Not only does it keep my hands warm, the keys are illuminated.

Seeking Advice..Nov 09, 2010
My normally well-behaved 4-year-old takes a martial arts class.  For months, the instructors have been allowing him to act like a monster. I have asked them time and time again to please not allow him to act up, only to be met with, "He's only 4.  You expect too much.  He is just being a little kid." I usually sit and watch to keep him manageable, at least.  The instructor's 15-year-old son also helps teach the class and he play fights with my son, allowing my son t ...

Seeking Advice From Armchair Psychologists. Feb 17, 2016
After almost 30 years of MTing, I want out. Making my state's min wage and taking care of an elderly parent on said min wage is a struggle. A few better-paying office opportunities have popped up locally, but I don't even apply because I think of what *could* go wrong. A page position in a library: What if I have to toss out a homeless or mentally unstable person because of patron complaints? The guilt would haunt me. A front desk position at a community mental health clinic: What if t ...

Leg Pain When Doing TypingJan 25, 2011
Does anyone else get leg cramping/aching while they type?? I used to get them when I started and then it went away, but lately its been getting me again especially in my upper outer thigh.

Typing RaceJul 04, 2010
Thanks to the person who mentioned "Typing Race" online as a way to increase typing speed. (Can't remember what forum.) It is so fun and addictive. Maybe I am just web-illiterate but I had never heard of it before. I am re-learning to type on a Dvorak keyboard, to help my carpal tunnel, and it was sort of (very?) discouraging to be reduced to slow, hesitant typing. But Typing Race is making it so much more fun. Sometimes you get matched up against the same people on different races and the ...

Question Regarding Any MT Having Right Shoulder Problems TypingJul 07, 2010
Hi all:  Has anyone had trouble with right shoulder hurting, burning type pain, tired, feeling like your arm is going to fall off and making right triceps weak after sitting at the computer so long.   I have been to doc twice, on pain pills, muscle relaxers, NSAID, hot tub for muscle soreness.  I have not been to the neurosurgeon yet.  I think it is a pinched nerve causing this as I searched symptoms on line and this is pretty close to what I am having.  Driving me ...

Attention-seeking Mother-in-lawSep 22, 2013
So, my MIL is 100% in her right mind and she is VERY attention-seeking lately.  She has always been one to like to keep the pot stirred and get attention that way as well.  She has a few medical problems, including a seizure disorder and she is always really good about taking her meds and such.  Well, lately, her new thing is when someone doesn't jump for her the minute she says jump she threatens to stop taking her meds.  She says there is no reason to take them anymore ...

Florida ColdFeb 19, 2015
At the risk of getting tomatoes thrown at me for those people in the north, here in SW Florida, we're not used to cold weather. It's 56 today, and going into the 30s tonight. I can't stop shivering. The heat in many of the homes is not efficient at all (it shouldn't have to be!), and our windows and doors aren't insulated. We have an open floor plan and high, vaulted ceilings, so heating it is almost impossible. And it's windy out so all the cold here is coming in t ...

Cold FeetJan 14, 2016
I am reaching out to my fellow MT's to ask what to do about my cold feet.  This time of year my feet get extremely cold while I type all day.  I have never typed in shoes, and really cannot because I can't feel the difference in the pedals.  If I wear shoes I end up backspacing or forwarding all the time.  I can wear house shoes with a very soft, flexible sole most of the time, but my feet freeze this time of year.  Any suggestions?  ...

Cold/virus Causing Vile Breath?Nov 23, 2010
On Saturday night, my boyfriend and I went to a friend's house for a pre-Thanksgiving gathering.  While there, I noticed that his breath was exceptionally rank (I could be standing 3 feet from him and smell it).  After pushing gum several times and him turning it down, I finally had to tell him his breath was terrible.  He chewed gum, but it never really got better. On Sunday, he started not feeling well...like he was coming down with a cold.  Yesterday, he felt worse. ...
