Ellen, You need to inform your husband that the RollerMouse AND Freestyle keyboard are business tax deductions and therefore don't count! And since you work with your arms and shoulders, he should be doing the vacuuming anyway, and should use whatever vacuum he prefers!

Or maybe you better just inform him of the first sentence!

Okay, that totally makes sense - of course you don't have a RollerMouse! Actually I've talked three people into them. Two of them are loving it, and one, Trina, needs to get her new keyboard to really check it out properly.

Well, let me tell you that you SHOULD get a RollerMouse and Freestyle keyboard, especially since you are on the keyboard most of the time, right???

I'll tell you something else all keyboarders should have:

They are padded on the bottom so you don't get any palm/wrist aches. I just bought a pair for my sister, April Floyd. I mailed them off to her today. Check out the videos on the RollerMouse and tell yourself 25% of any jobs from new clients go towards that and the keyboard!

I just got back from my massage and must eat - just had to respond. you have a RollerMouse???? Amazing!!! I don't know anyone else who has one except for the two people I've personally talked into getting one. You've got to get the Kinesis Freestyle then!!! It's beyond easy to type on. Which keyboard have you been using? Let me know when you get a chance.

I'll be working all weekend on my Chinese microbiologist - 300 pages!

How dare that Trina having it friends only! I'll have to lecture her. Here's a paste of what I told her.

Did you see my depoman post last night?

When I emailed my brother Scot about his email being such a coincidence, here's what he replied:
That's a good coincidence but these things happen when you enter the powrful realm of Geekdom. Why do you think they call helpful apps Wizards?

He's a crackup! I really think I'm going to get the Kinesis Freestyle today. That's great you got such a good deal! Remember, you want your keyboard to but up against the roller bar as much as possible.

Ellen, I love my RollerMouse - everyone should have one! I did order the Freestyle ten minutes ago!

I've had two weird coincidences lately. The book and weirdness regarding the RollerMouse. Go to Trina's page and read my comment to her!

I get the book tomorrow - can't wait as I'm all caught up with my reading!

You're an inspiration - putting yourself out there - it's so good to hear!

Ellen, you know what's weird - I read your post this morning about the Girls in Trucks book and immediately requested it from my library online. I didn't pay attention to who recommended it or even click on your page as I was in a hurry to call tech support. So later this afternoon I saw your Experienced Cat Scopist Wants More Work post - as I always go to the main page first. And here I notice that was you posting about the book!

See, that's what's neat about networking here. Now I have a vested interest in seeing you succeed!

Thanks so much for your immediate reply. I was in the middle of my two-mile exercise video! I'm so proud of myself for doing both miles - I had to FORCE myself. I'll tell my friend about Rebecca. I really appreciate your recommending someone who you think knows more about the indexing feature.

You've come to the right site here. The more you post, the more people recognize your name. Make sure when you have a few reporters on here who are happy with your work that you ask them to post about your abilities here:

Best of luck finding great reporters to work with - Jenny

Ellen, I'm on Eclipse, but I know a reporter on CC and they still don't have their automatic indexing set up. Are you a pro with that, or can you recommend someone who is? I'd love for my friend to get herself set up properly!
