Isn't effect the noun? I think my trick was to recall there was an 'e' in the word verb, so don't use effect, use affect, making affect the the verb. Is that right?
I need a secretary's manual. I'm a freakin' nervous wreck.
This is silly! Too nervous 2go2 library!

Hi 5F,
effect: cause and effect
affect: influence or pretense
I hate taking tests for jobs, I get real nervous, too.
Good luck. Remember to breathe.

I GOT THE JOB!!!
I GOT THE JOB!!!
YIPPEE! (I feel like Snoopy!)
Begin in a few weeks after some training.
Poet, not sure understand re: affect being a pretense. (Think I've got effect down comfortably.) When I used to transcribe, often the docs would say, .. The patient has a flat affect. Would that be a pretense? Can you put affect in sentence form for me? (I'll copy and print your help Poet!)
I'll see you all on the work board more often in the coming days, u lucky ducks!
Did I say, I GOT THE JOB!!!
I'm so full of myself tonight!

No ... don't mean stem cell, or stemcell, but it's a supplement of some sort that is pronounced like stemcell.
Any1 know of this?
Yep, I'm so excited about this new job I can't think straight. Oh jeez .. first I complain about going and now I'm complaining about a good thing?!
I'm feeling guilty about a person that wanted my assistance today w/ something that is so ez to do and I don't understand why I'm needed, but anyway I should at least call and explain I'm 'not ill' or 'excited and not used to it' .. or something of this sort!

Hi 5F,
Fantastic news.
Here's a sentence that hopefully will help with affect.
Here's one where it's used as influence:
The defendant's criminal record did not affect my ability to be a fair juror.
It really isn't commonly used for pretense, but here's an example:
When his fiancee called off the wedding, he affected indifference, even though he was devistated.
Congratulations on getting the job. You deserve those Snoopy yippees!

Tks for example Poet.
And, speaking of a high five ... I do deserve to tip a bottle a little too high I think! Might be just what the doc ordered for this 'return to work syndrome' I'm feeling today. I'm glad I didn't wait much longer to put myself out there or I may never have done it.
Someone I know is taking something that sounds like stemcell or stem cell, but it's an alternative of some sort and apparently it has totally changed his life, from delusions to sanity. Someone is going to let me know when they get the proper spelling for this concoction.
Maybe I'll have a little chunk of change for Christmas this year. Right now I have to go out and spend a little to make some. But the company is good and sound, a friend is there, and I'm sure it will all work out just fine. Just a little pre-employment jitters.

Definition of Stem cell
Stem cell: One of the human body's master cells, with the ability to grow into any one of the body's more than 200 cell types.
All stem cells are unspecialized (undifferentiated) cells that are characteristically of the same family type (lineage). They retain the ability to divide throughout life and give rise to cells that can become highly specialized and take the place of cells that die or are lost.
Stem cells contribute to the body's ability to renew and repair its tissues. Unlike mature cells, which are permanently committed to their fate, stem cells can both renew themselves as well as create new cells of whatever tissue they belong to (and other tissues).
Bone marrow stem cells, for example, are the most primitive cells in the marrow. From them all the various types of blood cells are descended. Bone marrow stem-cell transfusions (or transplants) were originally given to replace various types of blood cells.
Stem cells from bone marrow can also, quite remarkably, give rise to non-marrow cells. In a 1999 report in the journal Nature, scientists from Boston led by Dr. Louis M. Kunkel reported that they gave bone marrow transplants from normal mice to dystrophic mice. Some 12 weeks later about 10% of the muscle fibers in the diseased animals were making the correct form of dystrophin, the protein that is defective in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This work suggests that bone marrow stem cells may offer new ways of treating muscular dystrophy (and other non-blood diseases).

Hey Phillipa ... I'm sorry you went to so much trouble here and appreciate your info re: stem cells, but this isn't what this man is taking.
A casewo*ker will be getting back to me. It is a type of alternative, like an herb or something, which apparently has changed this person's life for the better.
I'll post it when cas*worker gets back to me.
tks, 5f
