I heard a doc that I transcribe for call it "the product of conception."

That's ridiculous. You won't shop at Walmart for something that you think you heard
that may or may not be true. You know I'm not a regular Walmart shopper but this is just plain stupid trying to smear a company that employs thousands of older and unfortunate Americans who may not have a job without Walmart. What's your beef with Walmart that you would post junk like this?
I have never been asked to show a receipt at Walmart. Is the Walmart you shop in a bad neighborhood
And the expensive stuff has an alarm on it for the cashier to take off. No receipt check. Just a greeter saying good-bye.
OMG, you FORGIVE Walmart shoppers? Are you nutz. Did Walmart
put an over-priced small business owner out of business. What is your PROBLEM?

I see old people who would otherwise not have a job smiling and happy with Walmart. I see undereducated people who do not look employable working at Walmart. Walmart employs millions of Americans who may otherwise be on public assistance.
try this product...sm

I've used a product called OdoBan....I buy it at Sams but it's available at the supermarkets too.  It can be used for a whole lot of odor-causing problems.  I use it for pet messes, and no more smells.  Maybe this would help.  Good luck...I couldn't stand to smell that all day.


My niece is a product of IVF (sm)
I remember only too well my sister-in-law's tears as she and my brother-in-law (husband's brother) struggled to have their first child.  Finally, they tried IVF and had their first daughter, my niece and my Godchild.  She just made her First Communion a couple of weeks ago.  They had two more girls after her, both through IVF.  (They are 7, 5, and 3).  I know those 3 little girls are so adored.  Mom and dad are going to be paying that debt down for quite a while, but I know that they, and I'm sure everyone who has gone through the same, will say that it was worth it.
I would try a product called Out
It is available in both the pet care and baby care sections of Wal-Mart. I use it for pet accidents (puppy not trained yet) by pouring it directly on the spot after soaking up the spot first, allow to soak a few minutes and then blot it up -- works great that way, but I also now add it in when using my Hoover steamcleaner, and gives a fresh scent to the whole room.

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.

Armstrong makes a product
If I remember right from my linoleum days (have tile now), Armstrong makes a product that will strip the floor completely and does a great job at getting rid of any of the imbedded dirt and such so it might work on the yellow stains.  Then you apply the second part which reapplies the shine to the floor.  I had used it to remove embedded dirt on mine and it made it look brand new

Also, use a quarter cup of lemon juice in the bath water.

Another thing to keep in mind - if you purchase a dog shampoo from a store, read the bottle. If it says to "wear gloves," DO NOT BUY IT. Think about this ... if YOU HAVE TO WEAR gloves to apply this to your animal's skin, do you really think it's safe??? Hmmmmm

Bausch & Lomb: ReNu appears safe

Delay announced in 10-K filing; no reason given




BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Bausch & Lomb Inc. executives are at a loss to explain why some users of its ReNu contact-lens solution have reportedly developed serious eye infections, saying Wednesday that all tests run so far have shown the product is safe and effective.

But shares of Bausch & Lomb (BOL :

resumed their move lower, dropping 7% to close at $45.61.

In a conference call held with analysts, Bausch & Lomb's management defended ReNu with MoistureLoc, a popular eye-care product used to clean, disinfect and store contact lenses.

"Every additional test indicates the formulation is as safe and effective as anything else on the market," said Ronald Zarrella, chief executive of the Rochester, N.Y.-based company.

Bausch & Lomb rattled both investors and consumers late Monday, when it announced it was suspending U.S. shipments of ReNu with MoistureLoc due to reports that some users had developed a rare but serious eye infection called fungal keratitis.

The Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration are investigating 109 reports of fungal keratitis around the nation, but they've yet to conclude that the ReNu product is a cause. It was also unclear how many of the reported cases actually involved ReNu, according to the agencies.

While allowing that ReNu could be eventually be linked to the infections, Zarrella also emphasized that all testing to date has shown ReNu with MoistureLoc was safe and effective in combating microbes that can trigger fungal keratitis.

Bausch & Lomb also has been able to test bottles of ReNu solution retrieved from infected users, but found nothing out of the ordinary, he said.

"As far as theories, there's a lot of them, and we've run a lot of them to ground and come up with nothing," said Zarrella.

Fungal keratitis is a painful inflammation of the cornea that can, in some cases, lead to blindness. The infection, caused by a fungus found in the environment, can appear as a result of eye injury, improper use of contact lenses or contaminated contact-lens products.

Zarrella said that FDA officials were currently inspecting the company's Greenville, S.C., plant, where it produces all ReNu with MoistureLoc products for the U.S. market.

Zarrella also said that the company had no insight into how long the FDA and CDC investigations will take and whether it will eventually have to recall all of ReNu with MoistureLoc products from the U.S. market. At this point, Bausch intends only to stop shipping new product to retailers, not to reclaim bottles already on store shelves.

said earlier Wednesday that they were removing the product from their shelves, pending the outcome of the regulatory investigation.

According to the company, ReNu with MoistureLoc generated U.S. sales of about $45 million in 2005.

Chart

Analysts on the call voiced concern that the product alert could end up eroding sales of Bausch & Lomb's other eye-care products, which enjoy great popularity with consumers.

Zarrella responded that Bausch & Lomb intends to immediately embark on a new marketing campaign to promote the integrity of its products, adding: "We're going to convince consumers that our products are safe and effective."

The executive also announced that it was "unlikely" that the company will file its 2005 year-end financial report, or 10-K, with the Securities and Exchange Commission by April 30. Zarrella repeatedly declined to comment during the call as to why the company wouldn't meet that deadline.

A product called *Oops* might do the trick
It can be found at places like Sherwin Williams Paint. It seemed to get up all kinds of stuff when we built our house. Good luck!
best product for facial hair removal?

What is the best product for removal upper lip hair? I have tried Sally Hansen but not much luck.  I have not tried bleaching yet because I really would prefer to have it gone!  Before I spend more money, can you tell me what works for you?  Thanks much.


Instant Text is an inferior product
The features they promote are confusing, aren't available if you are doing on-the-fly medical transcription, contradict each other and then when you only use it for a PRD type program, you have overpaid for it, and could have used anything else.  Remember the joke when PCs first came out:  "A doctor can learn to use a Macintosh in the time it takes them to get frustrated on an IBM" -- well substitute ShortHand for Macintosh and InstantText for IBM. Could we get some input from Smartype users?  If Stedmans is a great resource for books, how is their speedtyping program? 
i dont blame you at all. If you buy a product you should be able to use it till at least the foot p
I wonder if you can copy it from one computer and burn it on a disk so you can have a backup. I will try that and see.
Everyone markets their product that way. Like loss-leaders at supermarket.
They get people into their stores by give-away prices on one item and hope you continue shopping at their store. It is a marketing ploy everyone uses.

As far as the GE microwave Walmart ploy, if the buyer doesn't research the market to see if they can get the same GE microwave cheaper, that would be the buyer's problem not Walmart. Stupid is as stupid does and to impulse buy something like a microwave is just plain stupid and/or lazy. Think this through. Been to a sale lately at say Kohls and then saw a full-price outfit you like better than the sale outfit. What do you do? Think Kohls is horrible for doing this? Or smart marketing?

I think anti-Walmart propaganda has too far and people get caught up in it without thinking every other successful retailer uses the same marketing strategy.
I would never voluntarily give them "my" normals, my work product. SM
The nerve of these people. 
Speaking of rip-offs, anyone have any advise on how to get back money paid for a product you never
received?  I needed a Dictaphone C-phone for my job (was using a loaner) and put a note on the equipment board pertaining to this back in May.  A woman contacted me stating she had one for $100 (I only needed the phone, power supply and phone cord).  She said she was going away for 3 weeks and to Western Union the money to her that night and she'd send it out the next day.  I did not like the high pressure and was still shopping around anyway so I told her I'd wait the 3 weeks and contact her then.  About a week later she emailed me stating she cut her trip short but was going away again that Friday (It was Tuesday), I had by this time decided to buy her phone.  I mailed out that day via Priority mail a M.O. for $100.  She was very anxious for the money, and thought I'd sent it Express Mail, which I of course informed her I did not.  She stated that it should be there by Friday and if she did not see her mail that day that she'd have her mom check the mail and then mail the C-phone to me.  After 2 weeks I emailed her as I had no phone as yet, no response.  A week later still no phone, emailed again, no response. Then I called her (looked it up) and she claimed her email was "broken" and she had not received my emails but would email me back as she was on her way out the door to a baseball game.  I asked her how can she email me back if it was broken??? So then she backpedaled and said she'd call me.... I held my breath at that point.  So the next day by some miracle I get an email from her stating her mother had mailed it regular mail, no way to track it, etc.  So supposedly it is lost.  I emailed her back which it appeared she did not get as she did not respond to my questions but she did email me again saying she'd return my money.....again I am holding my breath.  That was 8 days ago.  She is in OK, I am in VA.  If she sent me a refund promptly it would have been here by now.  Now when I call her, she does not pick up, and no answering machine either.  I am planning now to mail her a copy of her email and my response to getting my money back.  I am assuming at this point that I was taken for a sucker and was obviously too trusting.  Right now I don't have $100 to burn (who does?) with my drives to the hospital (60 miles round trip) for my daughter's chemo, doctor visits, etc, on top of only making about 1/2 what I used to make due to the changes in my life right now.  In the meantime I got kicked off the account for which I needed the C-phone for (add insult to injury here) due to problems at the company I was working for, so that does not sweeten my disposition any.  So does anyone have any idea how I can squeeze her and get my money back?  Contact the police there for fraud? Small claims court in OK?  I am a persistent pain in the butt and will keep at her until I get my money back, if it is fraud then she picked the wrong person to screw with, if it is on the up and up then it is unfortunate but she should have insured it to cover her own (and mine) butt, and sent in with a delivery confirmation too....but you know what they say about hindsight.  Any ideas???

We live in a small town, some things you can't get anywhere but Walmart.  However their meats are not  very good, hamburger looks sort of like red worms pressed together,  ick. Produce not so hot either.    So I buy tmeat and quite a few other items at the grocery store.   Have you all tried going to Dollar Stores for cleaning supplies etc?  It works well for me.

At WalMart they are $3.99.

Walmart

25% would be a generous discount.  It is only 10% though. I am thinking of applying there as well, or at Target.  Anymore, this job is not worth it. I have been working for 25 years at this.  With the pay having decreased so much, and the cost of living still continuing to rise, it does not seem like that big of a sacrifice to me anymore.  These transcription companies expect us to be skilled yet the pay scale does not reflect our work. They expect us to stick around when they cannot or will not provide us with work.  For me, walking away will not be hard.  I like Target over Walmart because at least at the Target around here they are pleasant.  Walmart around here has unpleasant employees.  A job that lets you be crabby may not be so bad, on second thought.  I want to get out before all the jobs are off shored.  It has happened in many jobs, textiles, appliances, etc.  There may still be jobs in the US for transcriptionists but I can see it all being outsourced eventually.  Then we will all be working for Walmart.


Walmart job

Hello,


I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post this.  I have been a Transcriptionist for 8 years and I just can't do this anymore.  I can't handle the unreliable workload and unreliable paychecks....I'm going to go back to school to be a medical assistant but on the waiting list until next January 2010.  I'm truly thinking about applying for a job at Walmart at this point because then I would at least have a steady paycheck where I will know exactly how much I am making.  Anyone have any suggestions or know how Walmart pays.  HELP!


Walmart Job

I have a close friend who's worked for Wal-Mart for several years.  Pay is based on what department you work in.  For example, Produce, Deli, Customer Service, etc.  If you're experienced in the Bakery, you'll go in at a higher rate of pay.  They have stocks that you can buy and a good medical plan.  Good luck!


 


About Walmart
I looked up keyboards on their website, and they don't have that one listed.

Do you think that means they don't have them anymore or might they have them but not show them on their website?

I only ask because they are a bit of a drive for me. I suppose I could call them ... duh! Although sometimes others know more about a store than the employees! Lol :)
I WASN'T GUESSING. I HEARD WHAT I HEARD VERY CLEARLY.
I don't even agree with what QA said, but they are QA. Question them, and your out the door.
You just put yourself on the list with Walmart (sm)
You really just listed yourself in a class of people that don't deserve much credit either.  You are upset with Target because they don't support the military...however shortly thereafter you made it clear of your feelings about gays and lesbians.  Have you ever stopped to think about how many of those young men and women over there in harms way every moment of their life are gay?  Or do you only "recognize" the heterosexual soldiers?  Gotta love a hypocrite that bashes someone else for categorizing people...yet fail to see how they manage to lodge their own foot in their mouth in the process. 
What's wrong with WalMart
they sent out thousands of flyers about their big sale, and barely have a handful of the product. Strange way to do business unless that's just a way to get you in the store and hope you will buy other stuff. grrrr
I don't know what to tell you except Walmart is successful and some of
the supermarkets are going down because of it. The people who are shopping there are not uneducated people and it is in high-end financial growing part of town. I only shopped in a Walmart Superstore once and it was packed in the middle of the day. In spite of all the bad publicity, Walmart keeps growing and people like shopping there.


Question regarding Walmart.
Walmart advertises they are convenient? Wouldn't that depend on where you live?

Walmart advertises being cheaper than the other stores? Wouldn't that depend on the competition? Or does that mean they will meet competion prices. Having said that, every retail competitor for the grocery dollar says they are cheaper than the other store. Is this false advertising? How does one prove this? I figure you win on some prices in some stores and you lose on some prices in some stores. Nothing is really generally comparable.

I have researched on internet the price of a portable dishwasher. Walmart is at least $100 cheaper. Did they bully manufacturer into selling that dishwasher to Walmart cheaper? I don't know or care. They have passed on the savings to the consumer - me.

I hate the bad press that is so one-sided Walmart is getting. I'm not a big fan of Walmart but I get angry because these press pieces against Walmart are so biased because they point out things Walmart is doing but neglect to mention that other retail outlets are doing the same type of business.

And as stated below on the original thread, I see some very needy looking people with jobs who seem happy to be working at Walmart.

I guess I don't get the fuss. I shop where I want to and if Walmart is on my way I will shop there. If not I'll go somewhere else but I wouldn't not shop at Walmart because of a biased news (Frontline?) piece on Walmart.


Super Walmart
I really am not impressed with Wal-Mart.  We now have a super walmart and due to have another one open on the other side of town.  Who needs two walmarts?  It is always very crowded.  Very few registers open.  Groceries are higher in a lot of cases than my supermarket.  I only buy a few things that I see are cheaper.  Overall I do better at my local grocery store and I like the produce better.  You can never just "run in" anymore.  Smaller is better! I just hope they don't put my favorite store out of business.  I think alot of people feel this way though.  Not too many people I know do their weekly grocery shopping there. 
Tried it at Walmart.com and didn't get
suggestions about "you might like this."
Walmart in our area.

I live out in the sticks, but we have Walmart in several small towns close by.  My friends who work at Walmart have an income comparable to other retail jobs in our area.  A close friend's son is in management at Walmart and makes a very good living for this area.  I do not like some of their business practices, but a lot of the smaller businesses around here have shady business practices as well.  I am willing to pay a little more and support local business owners, but I had just as soon buy a few groceries as go down the road to Ingles, Kroger or Bi-Lo and pay twice as much, as these are big chains too.
