Re: chlorine is bleach
If her son swallowed pool water, then it's no more harmful than tap water when the ratio is done the way a pool should be. The only way he could have "swallowed" chlorine is if he actually meant he inhaled the dust, took a bite out of the block, or was directly in the line of fire while the pool was being chlorinated. In a public place, I wouldn't think they'd be doing that with swimmers present, and if you can smell the chlorine while swimming, that means there is a lack of it in the water. I certainly didn't mean for her to poo-poo him, but you'd think if it affected him to the point of danger, he'd have gotten sick long before she posted.
Bleach works but disintegrates it eventually.

chlorine is bleach, only stronger in a pool--sm
some people think that just because it is packaged and used almost on a daily basis, that it is safe. It is a harsh chemical and it is not surprising to me that it would cause hoarseness when swallowed. Just breathing it, for me, causes lung and breathing problems. He may be extra sensitive to it. Don't poo-poo is just because somebody else says "he is fine". It is a chemical...and if you don't believe me, swallow some yourself and see what happens...duh.
Yup - once every other week, cleans the bathrooms from top to bottom with bleach (sm)
details my hard-wood floor, vacuums my stairs and dusts. Once a month does the tops of the ceiling fans and chandelier in dining room - $62.50/every two weeks. Well worth it! She even dog sits for us when we go away overnight! Nice older lady with excellent wortk ethic.

I don't trust disk cleanup

A lot of times it will list files for removal that really shouldn't be removed - I would rather err on the side of caution and remove things myself.


But that's just me.


I have always used a cloth. Sponges get smelly and
at least every day, or more often as needed.  And I use Tide with bleach alternative.
If I run out of Clorox wipes, I use a
multipurpose cleaner and paper towels, then sometimes still spray Lysol.  I'm a germ-a-phobe.  Have you ever watched "How Clean is your House?"  It comes on Lifetime.  My daughter and I love that show and it gives great cleaning tips. 
Get a cloth damp with warm water and wipe
it, if that doesn't do it, spray a citrus-based cleaner on a cloth and wipe it with that. 
I was afraid to buy Clorox wipes. Do they
I was afraid I'd wipe everything with them and they would bleach my clothes or whatever they came in contact with.  Thought surely it must be colorsafe bleach if they put it in wipes, but I didn't want to take a chance!

sensitive to smells
I used to be allergic to anything in the laundry detergent, strong perfumes, etc categories. I would walk down the aisle to buy laundry detergent and wheeze and sneeze. I found out I had many environmental allergies and had six years of allergy shots, and then I got tired of them, but I now have immunity. I also used to get the bad headaches. Tylenol Sinus/Flu helped me a lot. Sometimes though, really strong musk or other perfumes will make me sick. Maybe an allergy doctor could help you also.
How do you get rid of cooking smells?

I've about had it with cooking any beef or pork at all.  Even cooking with hot oil.


I cannot get the lingering odors out.  I wash the pots and pans, put up the leftovers immediately, clean the stove and all surfaces but it just lingers.


Does anyone have a solution?


OMG I **love** BBQ! It smells so GOOD!

Anyone else overly sensitive to smells?

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.


 


Am I the only one who smells Hyderabad in her posts?

Six Sigma guy hired by MQ this week -- smells

like Spheris, doesn't it?


Spheris adopted Six Sigma about 2 or so years ago.


 


Do you smell a "merger/buyout with Spheris?


just put the 20 garlic chicken in the crock pot. Smells GREAT!
q
Yes, it smells like tropical fruit, papaya maybe. It's awesome.
ll
My husband is sensitive to smells, he takes Sudafed Sinus which helps him with the headache
I have sensitivity problems too but like you I never know what is going to set me off, I don't get headaches though, I get hives and chills, real fun. Luckily it only happens about once a year and its been about 3 years since my last episode.

Fresh Salsa Recipe Too!
Here's the recipe for the salsa too...my husband begs me to make it every summer when the fresh tomatoes are in season. I love the flavor of the cilantro and lime juice. Yum!

FRESH SALSA

-12-14 LARGE ROMA TOMATOES
-ONE BUNCH FRESH CILANTRO
-ONE SMALL SWEET OR VIDALIA ONION (MORE OR LESS TO TASTE)
-ONE GREEN PEPPER
-2 CLOVES GARLIC
-JALAPENO PEPPER (START WITH A FEW THIN SLICES TILL DESIRED
TEMP.)
2 ˝ t. SALT
2 ˝ t. Lawry’s SEASON SALT
JUICE OF ˝ LIME (OPTIONAL)

IN A FOOD PROCESSOR, ADD CUT UP TOMATOES WITH A HANDFUL OF CILANTRO, PULSE TILL CHOPPED BUT NOT LIQUID. THIS WILL TAKE A FEW LOADS. POUR INTO LARGE BOWL.

ADD ONION, GARLIC AND GREEN PEPPER TO PROCESSOR. PULSE TILL FINELY CHOPPED. ADD TO BOWL.

ADD SEASONINGS AND MIX WELL.

LEAVE IN BOWL FOR ONE HOUR. MIX AGAIN AND TASTE TO SEE IF YOU NEED TO ADD ANY MORE HEAT OR SPICES.

KEEP IN FRIDGE (MUST BE KEPT COLD). USE WITHIN 5 DAYS. MAKES 2 TO 2 ˝ QUARTS.

You are welcome - you are like a breath of fresh,unpolluted air! (nm)

Being a "service" employee is still fresh...

in my mind.  Maybe after I've been out of the loop for a few more years, I might start to forget what it was like.  But I highly doubt it, because all I have to do is go to any store, hospital, bank, restaurant, heck even a traffic light and just watch...watch the angry, impatient, "me me me me me me" people out there.


Working at home...I kinda feel like I'm my own boss.  Sure there are e-mails and TAT issues, but I actually have control over most of that stuff.  I get out of my job what I put into it.  Yeah, some days are harder than others, but that's just life.


Fresh in my mind are the 8+ hour days of standing on my feet ALL DAY LONG at a register on Mother's Day in a sweltering hot greenhouse putting foil and bows on potted plants, or answering phones at an answering service that were so busy that at the end of 4 hours my voice would be hoarse, or being unable to pee because there was a line of ornery patient's waiting with scowls on their face because THEY needed their outpatient tests booked RIGHT NOW because THEY were on their lunch break and their time is money!  (and then when you finally do get the chance to pee, some nasty-a$$ crotch-cricket-ridden patient decided to leave a floater or pee on the seat!)  And all of this was at least 10 years ago now and still painfully vivid. 


So yeah, go ahead and work in the real trenches and then make a fair comparison of working at home versus working somewhere else.  Whackin' on keys and having to repeatedly playback some ESL now and again ain't nuthin' compared to putting up with a bunch of crap that you can only imagine if you haven't experienced it first hand.



Fresh out of school with no "real"

experience you have no clue.  You don't know about various platforms, equipment needed, insurance, taxes, contracts, not to mention your transcription skills are limited and you have no QA skills.  


Unfortunately there are many like you who seemed to have not investigated this business and how hard it is to get a job before taking classes and then end up in the same position as you, graduating and no chances of a job. 


Another change is that fresh out of school 15 yrs ago,

So far all I have is some fresh green beans and potatoes....nm

Try a slice of fresh lemon in water.
It changes the taste completely.

Gosh, I just love that smell.  Anyone know where I can purchase something like that?  What a great pick me up for winter.  Also, love the clean smell of fresh rain.  If  I could only bottle that aroma.....
Fresh strawberry preserves!! SEND ME SOME TOO!
I love fruit preserves!
Jewelsy, you're a breath of fresh air (sm)

I appreciate your experience and insight!  I agree about clinic work being boring; so is radiology.  And VR/speech rec has really taken over radiology and clinic, the same for EMR.  I know it's going to be a huge challenge for a few months, but I'm up for the challenge!  Plus I've done interventional radiology-type transcription (minimally invasive procedures) with really tough dictators, so I have a bit of a heads up. 


Thanks again!  I'd like to update you in my transition late this summer.


 


Coffee just always smells so darn good, doesn't it? I drink 3 cups of coffee... sm

in the morning (used to be 4) w/Nutrasweet, a little regular powdered creamer and a little liquid French Vanilla creamer (yes, I do like it sweet!)  If I'm really sleepy and need the boost, I'll have another cup or two. 


Then I immediately start drinking diet Dr. Pepper, and not the caffeine-free kind.  Love it.  I drink diet Dr. Pepper throughout the day and night, about 6 cans a day (it used to be diet Coke).  I've joked with my friends and family that it might be time for them to hold an intervention for me with the Dr. P. 


I do sometimes worry about the mass quantity of Nutrasweet I consume each day.  Anybody else?

Fresh out of school 13 years ago I made 8 cents gross/clinic/no ESL

Be realistic! A newbie, fresh out school, no experience whatsoever cannot expect to get accounts

on her own and definitely cannot expect to earn $50k! 


EMR is coming whether you like it not and whether your doctors are older or not.  Eventually the older doctors will retire and the new generation coming out of medical school are products of this technological age.  There is no stopping it.


'Tis the season for fresh asparagus, steamed or roasted, or spinach sauteed with garlic. Yum! nm
