Sadly, nothing gets cig smell out of anything. It

In Reply to: C-phone & cigarette smoke - So not happy right now
always sneaks back. I have been burned 3 times out of 4 on E-Bay with MT stuff. I am a huge buyer and seller, and its the only area I've not been happy with, so I'd rather buy new now than risk it. Hopefully it will work. One thing I have tried is sealing whatever it is up in a bag for as long as possible, or as frequently as possible, with a Outdoor Fresh Scent Bounce or two in the sealed bag with the item. Over time the Bounces absorb some of the cig smell. But it would be a hassle undoing a C-phone every day and bagging it. Sorry - that smell makes me sick, too, and I used to smoke! Good luck.

Sadly, I agree. nm

You are, sadly, correct
Makes you wonder if this is how the peaceful, loving Muslims feel about the crazy nut jobs in their religion. I just hate it that they are claiming to be doing all of this on the basis of Christianity.
I hate it that they get the airtime, but better that than to protest at the funerals.
This is so very sadly true
No matter what is posted, if it's positive in nature, at least one poster has to come along and try to rain all over that person's parade. This site could be so wonderful and a great tool IF everyone just showed one iota of respect for one another, some common decency, without resorting to name calling, personal insults, etc. I'm a positive person as well and am very content with my career and my personal life. I never let this site bring me down, but I do find myself feeling very sorry for the posters on here who obviously go out of there way to antagonize and insult other posters. It's clear that something vital is missing from their lives if snarking at other posters makes them feel validated.
It's quite sad, actually.
I sadly put my books into my bookcase sm
and went totally electronic. I can find surgical stuff so much faster online rather than going through the books. I'm more confident and faster doing OPS now than ever before since I don't leaf through the books, just search online, and of course I double check everything. I have the electronic drug reference but rarely use it since my internet is open all day long.
Sadly, most people think it's easy.
Oh, maybe I should do that. My house would always be clean, and I'd be able to do anything I wanted with my kids. How do I sign up?
Yeah....don't ya just wanna choke 'em!!
My hubby used to say I got to go relax and type....until I made him sit at the computer and said now type that note. He worked on it for 20 minutes and got 2 lines done...of course asking me 4 different times on words. I said, good job honey...you'll make 50 cents an hour.
Sadly, while you are not wanting to spread the name...
...Some other unsuspecting MT is signing a contract with these folks.
Believe me, I felt the SAME exact way as you back when I was fooled by D&L. I gave them the benefit of the doubt for over a month, and actually believed payment would be sent to me. I didn't talk badly about them, well not until PA Dept of Labor decided there was nothing they could do for me as an IC. Here it is, 1 year later, and I still haven't been paid...either have 20+ others who were all just suddenly *let go.*
The only loyalty you should ever have in this business is to yourself, your pocket and to a fellow struggling MT. Don't be scared to let others know the name of a company to avoid.
Good luck dealing with PA courts/magistrates/Dept of Labor, etc. I hope you get your pay.
You are sadly mistaken about what that means.
"Freedom of Speech" guarantees that on public property you, as an individual, may speak out against the government without fear of retaliation for it.
It doesn't mean you can say anything you want about any person or entity and be covered.
Of course the woman could be sued.
Hey ladies, I am a midwife and an MT. However, the money comes from MT sadly. sm
I do midwifery on the side as i love it but i have to keep my 2 MT jobs to keep the bills flowing. I am an LM, CPM so i do not do hospital deliveries. I do homebirth/ birth center deliveries so the pay is less than CNMs would make but a lot of the CNMs these days do all the crap work from the MDs. Best thing with MT is it works around my MW schedule. Love it!! I average about 20-30K on midwifery delivering about 15-20 babies a year. I personally know one that delivers 3-4 a month and averages about 75K but i choose not to be that busy with midwifery til my kids get older as i still need family time. I don't see where to put email in here but if anyone wants info from me, would be happy to share.
Retta is inclined to agree, sadly...
Our MTng days of you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours are over. Now watch out for that knife blade, I am sorry to say...
Sadly, I agree that more and more jobs are going to go to 3rd world countries. However, that is not
:+
You don't get bonuses for doing it. It's just mixed in with the regular stuff, sadly. nm

St. Agnes High School, Rochester, NY, sadly no longer exists
Hail to St. Agnes High, we sing to thee, school days are bright and fair, our hearts fill with glee to know (something, something, and then best line) white speaks of purity, womanhood's jewel (etc., etc.)
The above poster is right. Sadly, I've been on Escription for four years and my line counts
were going down. Apparently, the hospital decided we were being overpaid so they manipulated the way were paid i.e. footers, headers etc. They could change it to whatever they wanted and the MTSO did nothing as they wanted to keep the contract. So we had to suck up and take the reduction, along with the fact that all of our work was/is being sent to India so it's slim pickens most days unless you want the crappy accounts. I would ask a lot of questions, but as a whole, Escription accounts and the companies who have it rarely like to pay a decent livable cpl. JMO
But you WILL have to smell their pot. :) nm

I think the smell would be better in New Orleans
No thanks.
I smell a troll ...

I smell a huge rat
Is your husband up to no-good with this loser? First of all any "my baby's daddy" situation has scumbag written all over it. Second of all, if your husband doesn't mind being used by this lazy bum for a free place to live, he has to be getting something out of the bargain. I'd be doing some serious checking around if I were you.
Meanwhile, you're right to keep this piece of crap away from your kids. If your husband likes him so much let him live with this waste of oxygen alone.
Good luck.
do I smell a newbie/cherrypicker?
You go over seas, learn medicine in conjunction with a new language fluently, then tell us how easy it is? These ESLs at least make an effort to slow down and be understood, more than I can say for the Americans. Besides, it is our job, being transcriptionists, to decipher these accents, research, and come up with the correct terminology for the report. Would you like mister rogers to dictate all of them? Come on, you can handle it!
Me too, how funny! It does smell good!

I smell a rat. If it were me, I would consider this the first red flag and be on the lookout
I smell a dead cat on the line.... so to say.
Such as in "another woman."
trolls smell rooty

Vinegar also takes smell out. sm
I always use vinegar when I need to get a smell out.
Whenever I burn popcorn in the microwave, I fill a coffee cup full of vinegar and set it in the microwave. It always takes the smell out.
I've steam cleaned pet soil out of my carpet using vinegar and baking soda, and the odor always goes away.
I smell a rat - I mean bully. Same thing.:)
OP,
I agree with Katz. No need to use profanity however. Don't risk your dignity and self-respect by stooping to her level. Yet, I agree with everything else, like telling her to shut up in a nice way -- let her know you are working and you suggest she does the same. She feels threatened obviously, so don't make it easy for her by quitting which is probably what she wants. I don't think the boss wants you to quit, however. It sounds like she just wants to skip out on the pay increase and manipulate the situation to her benefit (according to what you have said so far).
As for Ms. Obnoxious, sounds like she has figured out the only one she needs to get along with is the boss. And if she can get you to leave, then more work and job security for her. It's an awful mess of a situation you are in. I don't tolerate bullies and neither should you, and that is exactly what she sounds like -- a bully. You will have to give her the silent treatment instead of her giving you the silent treatment and even if she does give you the silent treatment, good. It doesn't sound like she has anything worthy to say anyway. In the meantime, if you want to be there for any reason -- to pay off a debt, to go back to school, to gain more experience before leaving, etc. -- then stay as long as you want. When you are ready, find the new job, test it out, then make the switch at your own pace. With your typing speed, I don't doubt you will be able to find something better. Just don't make it easy for anyone by quitting.
You are all that matters, especially on a job. Workers are not your friend. You have to find that outside of the workplace. I don't think talking to either one of them is worth anything. They already know they are in the wrong.
Best of luck to you.

moldy smell in carpet
I had the same thing and ended up finally tearing up the whole carpet and pad, then installing a wood laminate floor. It was expensive, but I had tried EVERYTHING, to no avail. Baking soda and vinegar are excellent remedies, IF the mold hasn't seeped into the pad. If it has, there is virtually nothing that will remove the smell altogether. We hadn't noticed the mold smell when we looked at the house. (The carpet had just been freshly shampooed to show the house.) It was after we bought it and moved in that we noticed it. Before my husband installed the wood laminate floor, we bleached the entire concrete slab, as the mold had also seeped in to the concrete. Bleach did the job on that. Good luck. :)
Wake up and smell the roses and not
alcohol breath - ewwww
well wake up and smell the coffee...
Ever since managed care came into being here, the doctors have been moaning and groaning...and less and less folks are actually entering the medical field today.....becauise nobody is earning the money they were 15-20 plus years ago.....There is a huge shortage of nurses also in this country - it's not profitable enough for anyone today...not like it used to be prior to managed care.....
I have been treated overseas and it IS better.....and I recently read an article that folks here, the elderly, are now relocating to India for long-term care at home....it's nearly free over there....if I ever find that article, I will repost here.....the couple the article was about are in their 80s and they get all their rxs, aides in the home (home health care), and treatment for a miniscule amount compared to here......the article showed pictures too.....all nice and clean and very efficient looking. Plus, an added benefit is they are just more respectful of the elderly overseas.....in general and everywhere.....whether it be Europe or Asia.....while here, all they seem to be interested in in this country is YOUTH - a youth-oriented society it has been for a couple of generations now.
You *think* we have the best......but it might not always be as it seems and think of *down the road* - while less folks are entering the field(s) here - you'll find there will be less and less *the best*.....
Nope, we're everywhere on this board! Can't you smell us??

Candles that smell like fresh cut grass. sm
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.....
Drench it with vinegar. It won't take the color out, and the smell will be gone.You can also add
baking soda to the vinegar. It works really well.
I use vinegar for anything with a smell. If the trash can starts to smell, I pour vinegar in the bottom and let it sit overnight. Then I just rinse it out in the morning.
Also, if you burn popcorn in the microwave, you can pour vinegar into a coffee cup and put it in the microwave. Then let it sit in the microwave overnight. By morning, the smell will be gone.
I smell a corrective addendum coming -
The doc says,"the debridement contained subcutaneous and healthy necrotic tissue." Say, what? Healthy necrotic tissue?
Anyone have a home remedy for loss of taste/smell?
This sinus cold has been dragging on for nearly 2 weeks now..going on day 5 of absolutely no sense of taste or smell....soooooooo tired of this
I haven't had taste or smell for over 10 years due to chemotherapy.
Sometimes that's a GOOD thing. Seriously.
home remedy for loss of taste/smell
How about zinc? I was told years ago that this helps with loss of taste and smell.
You need to get the smell/urine enzymes out of the carpet and furniture - sm
The dog will just continue to go back to where he peeed (?) again and again because he smells his scent. I don't think neuturing him will make a difference in that respect. You need to go buy Nature's Miracle Odor & Stain remover. It's pricey but it does the job....I learned this by working at PetsMart years ago and by personal experience. You have to soak whatever it is the dog peeed on though and let it air dry, takes a couple days. You will have to decide on how to "contain" him until the smell is gone, either in a smaller area of the house, outside, whatever. You might want to seriously try training him to go outside. He never learned that he should NOT go inside so that behavior of him going wherever he wants in the house is going to be difficult if not impossible to change. You may want to call a professional legit dog trainer in the area and get their thoughts and suggestions. You are going to have a hard time modifying the dogs behavior, but with a LOT of persistance and consistency you can prevail. Good luck.
Lilacs....ah, the smell of 'em!! Too bad they don't live long. nm

Not MT related - I need suggestions on getting the moldy smell out of carpet.
I have had the carpet professionally cleaned, but there is still that moldy smell from the carpet having gotten wet a while back from an overflowed washer. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to make the smell go away? I plan on ripping the carpet up at some point and redoing the floor, but not ready for that yet. In the mean time, now with the hot weather, the moldy smell is really obvious. Help!
i smell fishy? who puts sincerely in their post on here?? NOT ME! nm

Yikes! Kind of wake up and smell the coffee! nm

Garlic keeps you healthy. You smell so bad sick people avoid you.

Nope, I pretty much hate them all. The smell alone makes me want to hurl.

Thank god for crock pots. 'cept the smell drives you crazy all day.

I'll wait a few days, week or so, no hassle, no BO to smell, it will be worth SM
the extra money.
Drugs! Lots of drugs! Sadly, you're probably like
most of us and don't have time to go to the doctor! Oh well! Feel better soon! You are not alone! 
Any rose gardeners out there? Good roses that are disease proof and smell good?
I heard good things about Knockout Rose but they don't smell too much like traditional rose. Supposedly blooms all season.
Sniff, sniff, I smell
Don't even go there with Soft Script. Anyone with a brain knows they are liers and that they steal lines. The reason the management keeps changing??? Should be a hint. Honest people can't work for SS.
I think I smell either VR on the easy stuff, or offshoring of the easy stuff.
