Went to the grocery store today and smelled one of those new Glade candles things and it wasn't a particularly strong smell (Rose and vanilla) but by the time I put it back on the shelf I had a throbbing headache and by the time I got to the end of the aisle I thought I was going to puke.   I never know what will set me off - although artificial blueberry flavoring kept me in bed for 3 days and anything with this in it is banned from my house. 

I avoid fragrance counters in department stores, get fragrance-free magazines, try to avoid smokers and even the butt buckets they have in front of stores.

Is there anything you do to head off a wicked headache when you are exposed to something?   I haven't always been like this, but the older I get the worse it seems to get.  I'm not bad enough I feel like I need to wear a mask in public, but I've thought I would have to get better to die a couple of times.

I`m so sorry to hear you all are losing your accounts. It`s really scary, I have been looking for some type of employment since December and still nothing. I was working as a receptionist at a Independent doctor`s office and and because of lack of money and to try to safe money he joined in with another doctor in his office, which had a full staff so most of us lost are jobs. Anyway with all this happening I decided to go to MT school which starts the end of this month, but after reading all the posting`s on here of lost jobs, YIKES!  I`m wondering if this is the way to go. In other words I am now scared, worried, and very concerned and just don`t know what to do.

What is going on in the health care field?

I know you're worried and I don't even know you.  However, knowing insurance, if you go before the insurance kicks in, they (the insurance after it kicks in) will see this as a preexisting condition and may not cover future treatment.  IF you can wait 12 days (because even if it was serious, and it may not be serious, 12 days won't make any difference, outside of possibly allaying your fears).  12 days will gallop by!!!  I feel bad for you because you're anxious and I'm the same way about these things.  Hope you do well !!!!! 

My son planned a trip to New Orleans for the 4th of July. We tried and tried to find a room through travelocity.com, hotels.com, expedia.com, etc. without success. I'm not sure exactly what the site was, but I finally found a hotel room (I think I searched New Orleans.com or something similar) at the Cotton Exchange Hotel which seemed to be a very good hotel by all sites description. It was booked on all these other sites. So I grabbed the room for the guys. However, when they got to New Orleans and showed their confirmation, the hotel sent them next door to the Holiday Inn. What was up with that?  Of course, they didn't care one way or the other, but I just wondered why the hotel did that. Thought maybe they were affiliated, but by the description of the hotels, I would rather have stayed in the Cotton Exchange and would have been somewhat disappointed had the reservation been for me.  Just curious

Besides, my friend has the "collar" for her yorkie and the dang thing yaps right over it. The way I did it with my dog when he was a pup didn't make him "afraid" of barking (knowing he'd get zapped). He just learned that we did not like it when he barked.  He also doesn't jump up on people unless I give him the okay and he does NOT lick people. EEEEW.

I didn't rely on gadgets with my dog.  I trained him with patience and rewards.  Works every time and makes a heck of a better dog.

If you're going to zap a dog when he barks, why not just kick him?  The "correction devices" are only made for people that don't want to bother to spend the time.

I work for a national but do acute care stuff, which means I have to be glued to my desk in case I get an "instant message" telling me to type up a stat report.  I have the kind of personality where I NEED a schedule, otherwise I'll just frig around and wind up typing up a days work at the last minute.  I tried it before and it didn't work out so well for me. 

I'm not forced to punch in and out for breaks though.  I do take short breaks here and there to rest and get up and walk, but then I'm right back here at the keys.  Some days I even eat while typing, but that's the nature of the beast where I am.  Yeah, sometimes it wears thin like on days when everything aches and no matter how fast I type, there's always a stack of stuff waiting that needed to be done yesterday.  It also sucks when I get asked to type up stuff because some other typist has gone "MIA."  I just get bent because I figure I have to be here during my schedule, why can't they?  

Oh well, at least there's an overflowing amount of work, unlike some other companies I read where the people are sitting twiddling their thumbs waiting for stuff to come in.

I bought the preferred version because I switched computers and my new laptop came with Word 2003 which SmartType does NOT work with.  I was able to teach it the medical words for the most part.  Some stuff was tricky like x3 and I could not get that to work.  Unfortunately it seemed awfully slow to me and you have to get a really get microphone.  FOr me though a lot of my work is VR except for new doctors so I just don't bother with it.  But if you're typing all day it might be useful after you spend the time training it.  I spent about 100 on it so it's MUCH less expensive than the medical version.

I work in-house in Washington State and I'm sure I don't make as much as someone working in-house in California, but my fingers and wrists are saved by working in-house.  I do have a minimum minute count to get, but I can pace myself throughout the day and it is very easily achievable.  If I were working at home I would be pushing myself to the absolute maximum by trying to get as many lines as I can in a day (did that for several years...hated it).  However, there is only so much you can make in a day getting paid by the hour instead of the line.  If you make a decent rate per line and you have a high line count per day I'm sure you could make more than someone working in-house who only gets so much per hour for an 8-hour day no matter how much they type.  So, it kinda goes both ways.
