Good ventilation!
This is a good reason to make sure your office -- and home! -- is well-ventilated. Keep your tower as far away as possible and "downwind." As plastics heat up, they do outgas. Flat-screen monitors are supposed to outgas less, so that's a help.
That awful smell from photocopiers and laser printers isn't exactly safe, either. You should use those only in well-ventilated areas.
Let's not blame everything on computers, though. I'd bet that many here have homes that have toxic soup for air.
One allergy group I know has taken to sending a staff member to the home of pediatric asthma patients when the usual control methods fail. They nearly always find the homes tightly closed up, always running either heat or air-conditioning with no ventilation. The homes are often very clean, too, with moms using lots of cleaning products, powdered carpet deodorizer, toilet bowl deodorizers, fabric softener, scented detergents, bathroom sprays, potpourri, fragrance candles, and insect sprays. In most homes, the big offenders were those plug-in air-fresheners and scented oil diffusers. Some homes had carpet that were shampooed constantly with non-professional units, so that they were soaked with dried detergent and growing mold underneath.
The moms felt that they were doing good to "clean" everything to keep away the "dirt" that was causing their child's asthma and they didn't understand how something that smelled nice would make their children sick. They replaced the carpet in the kid's bedroom with linoleum and thought that was enough.
Very few were willing to stop smoking or even to go outside to smoke. They were in utter denial that their behavior was harming their children, and even if they admitted it, they didn't care to stop even when offered free medication. Nearly all of them had ashtrays and cigarette butts in the house, even though they told the doctor they didn't smoke there. Most of them burned air-freshener candles thinking THAT was going to help, when all it did was add MORE toxic chemicals to the air and make their children sicker.
Ammonia possibly. But, do have ventilation and do not inhale while applying it!

You're most welcome! (see inside)
Glad I could help!
Shorthand does not capitalize after periods or colons. That feature in IT is really great *BUT* it does interfere with typing some numbers (lab values) that include a decimal, i.e., RBC of 12.8 will look like RBC of 12. 8 with that extra space after the decimal.
IT is a really cool program, and if I could get over my "can't teach an old dog a new trick" if she doesn't want to learn a new trick dilemma I'd probably use that instead of Shorthand, but I really love ShortHand and what it does for me. I also like the ability in Shorthand to duplicate an Expander and make a little change and save with a different name, which I can't do in IT -- I have a bunch of very complicated expansions and to have to code them out individually is a pain.
If you do get Word 2003 or IT or Shorthand, do check out Productivity Talk. It's an amazingly helpful board with tons of valuable information about these programs.
Good luck!
I'd cut loose too, especially if there is a
W in the name of the company involved.
Dont loose faith
God is with us always, I know it is hard to realize that but our minds are finite and He is infinite. He can do all things. Enlarge your vision, put all your faith in Him even in the bad times. I know it is hard I have just gone through an extremely hard year myself dealing with anxiety and a mother in deep depression, but He got me through it and is healing me and my mother. Take it day by day and do not loose your faith. He said "Be of good cheer for I have overcome the world."
Sorry do not know what verse that is but I know that it is in the Bible, in the New Testament. Have a blessed day!
i wish my clothes were loose...i guess they would be if i would
I hope you cut her loose--FAST!
First holes age 10, second age 16 sm
I told her she needed to be old enough to take care of them, keep them clean when she had them done the first time.
So far, not much loose skin, but you do need to do toning exercises
and work out with weights to help prevent that.
Sink holes
Thank you for your response. My daughter is concerned cause not only because of the hole my grandson fell in, but also a large area in front of her detached garage has sunk a good bit. She is afraid if someone comes out they may deem the property unstable and have to leave. What do people do, particularly if they carry a mortgage. Homeowners insurance usually covers the structure and not the ground it sits on.
sink holes
We had a cistern open up in our backyard from alot of rain one year. It was an old well that had been covered up. Had no idea it was there
My mom did the same thing, except it was her 1st holes - sm
I got my second holes when I was 17 in college, then over the years my mom went and got 2nds, then 3rds, and wore ear cuffs too. My mom was quite a character.
I once typed pt had six loose black male today

Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one. (nm)
It has been 10 years since my mom's sink holes
she had to sell it to a horse breeder/stable instead of dividing it into tracks and selling individual home sites due to the sink holes. Fortunately they were several acres away from any structures and have not recurred in the last 10 years. One parcel has recently been sold near the first one that opened. That neighbor happens to be on the county commission and resides over the real estate zonings and gave permission for the new owner to be a home she felt would "blend" with her homes and golf course. I would certainly have someone look into it as there you don't know what is happening underground.
Anyone else have holes in their pockets? It seems like I can't make enough
money anymore to keep bills paid up. Am I the only one in this shape, sometimes it feels like it.

Anyone ever have problems with sink holes in your yard?
My grandson was just walking across the yard and his foot gave way and went down to his waist. There are other areas, some large where the ground appears to have sunk somewhat. They live in southeast georgia. If you have experienced this, please share.
I think she was 9 or 10, and I got my second holes put in at the same time. Bonding experience! :)

I've worn holes in my keys.
I found a keyboard that I liked and kept it until I was forced to trash it. Who needs letters anyway?
budget busters...patch those holes! =) sm
No, you are NOT the only one...our pockets don't just have holes...
rising costs are ripping GAPING TEARS in our pockets =) But the fact that you're aware of it is a good thing...because you have the ability to mend those tears. I don't know if you use a budget, but if you don't it might help to create one. Having a financial plan and a budget are the "needle and thread" you need to keep your pockets full. (and I bet a LOT of people are just going into more debt rather than adjusting their spending to put a patch on those soaring fuel and food prices.) So...grab your needle and thread...and Happy Sewing...anyone for a Quilting Bee?! =)
Don't worry. Modern houses don't have big holes in the floors and walls. NM

Plastic surgery at 28?

need a plastic surgeon
Does anyone have any personal experience with Dr. Michael Petrosky with Plastic Surgery Center of the South in Marietta, Georgia? I am considering using him as I consulted with him and I really liked his manner and explanation of the surgery. I would like to talk with someone who has used him before just to see if he is a good doctor, but how can one go about doing that with the HIPPA laws? The only way I know to find out about patients of his is to ask their office and of course they aren't going to give me names/phone numbers. If anyone has any info on this doctor's practice would you mind sharing with me please? Or if you know of a way that I can talk to a few people who have used him, etc. Thanks very much.
need plastic surgery
Thanks very much for the info. I am having breast implants removed actually so want to make sure I find a doctor who really knows what he's doing. I appreciate your input. I will talk to some of the nurses; that's a good idea. 
I cut a hole in the plastic
on the back of the cassette (surgery!) and then pulled both ends out a little to make the tape job easier, and then respooled the tape back. No anesthesia needed; pt recovered well.
DID you take off the plastic strip?
that comes with the printer cartridge?
I can't put hard plastic against
my skin - now that causes itching! But if you have a latex allergy, you can make your own little covers out of fabric. Use a soft fabric like old worn out cotton flannel from PJs. cut little pieces from the fabric and use tiny rubber bands from your kid's braces to hold the fabric in place. Change them more out frequently if you have oily skin.
:o}
There is a plastic pipe
called PVC and there has been some question about exposure to this. I think people have been told to change older pipes out containing this.
Didn't know about plastic surgery, but...sm
I can't like his music even a smidge less because of how he wants to look. His music makes me smile, makes me want to dance, and can even change my bad mood in an instant! I get a lot of teasing from my friends for liking this guy's music, but I dont' care! My stepson (8) wants to learn a John Mellencamp song so he can play it for me on his new guitar! My husband is also learning to Play Guitar, and has mastered Pink Houses just for me! I get alot of Love and Happiness from being a Mellenhead!
WestchesterMT, right on!
Plastic shoes that come in many different colors, and several
different styles. Very popular with medical personnel who are on their feet all day. Google Crocs.
I use a plastic storage bin and cut a section out for him to ...sm
get in and out. I do not use the lid. It has nice, high sides, room to turn around and I usually try to keep 3 inches of liter in it.
I have 2 other 'regular' size cats who use the standard liter boxes just fine but my big guy only uses his big, roomy custom box. I also replace it about every 5-6 months. I wish you and your kitty all the best!
Please let us know what the vet says.
It actually took some work. That plastic is really thick.
The first time I did it I used a very sharp utility knife but had trouble making a U-shape and it ended up quite uneven across. I now drill holes at the bottom of the U (so to speak ....the bottom of the U is actually straight across now). It gives a cleaner 'stop'. I go to about 5-6 inches from the bottom so that I can easily keep 3 inches of litter in it. Whatever you use, it will be worth the work (and it WILL be work). I discard the lid cause my big boy prefers it open. Good luck!
I don't know the particular MD, but I had plastic surgery in August. sm
What I did was talk to nurses. Nurses are a wealth of info, and they really know the docs. In my talking to nurses, I even found a few who had chosen the surgeon for themselves. I'm not shy, so I'll tell you that I had breast reduction surgery. Aside from my talking to nurses who worked in anesthesia, surgery, and oncology departments, I also spent a good amount of time with the doc. I made sure he was board certified, asked lots of detailed questions, and he also showed me photos of previous patients and the results of the surgery. He showed me photos of both good and bad results, which was a really good thing. There are risks to any surgery, and it's good to actually see what can go wrong.
It took a while, but it really paid off on the end. My surgeon and I communicated well, and I'm very happy with the results of my surgery.
Wouldn't want any of them doing plastic surgery on me,
Too bad he ruined his face with plastic surgery
I do work for a plastic surgeon, insurance will only pay from what I can tell IF - sm
there is a health issue, i.e. continous rash from the folded skin, irritation that medicine will not resolve. But all conservative measures of treating have to be exhausted before they agree to pay for an abdominoplasty. Good luck....I need to lose about 80 pounds and wondering if I will have any sag when done...I have very sensitive skin too so expect some problems (and if so I hope they are enough to warrant my insurance to pay for the removal procedure...otherwise I plan to save up for it)--
Any good sites for plastic surgery? sm
Been doing reports for breast augmentation, mastopexy, blepharoplasty, Z-plasty, etc. Any web sites that may have terminology or sample reports other than MT Desk. Their site is good, but need more sample reports or terminology.
I worked for a plastic surgeon for 3 months...sm
and people having face lifts and tummy tucks are in incredible pain after their surgical procedure. My sister chose to have breast implants done and she was in severe pain for about 3 days after surgery. No way am I interested in having elective things like this done!
The plastic surgeon on "The Doctors"
is very reputable. I would go to his website (can find through the show's website) and either email him or call for information/opinion.
The key is to deal with someone you know is on the ball and above board.
I have still to see one whose face does not scream : Plastic surgery
after they had it done.
Really!
Or Botox, for that matter.
Especially MEN just hate it!
They hate everything artificial.
Ask them!
Yes, Yes! Sue the OWNER of the plastic pool because they did not secure it properly. Now it was a
deadly object due to THEIR negligence! Just think of the $$$.
Those plastic container strawberries at the store always go moldy on me, too.
They must sit in a warehouse or truck where the plastic packages get really hot because the outside berries look great but the inside ones are moldy or mushy. That's probably why they go on sale! LOL Open the plastic package in the store no matter how good they look and look at all the berries. Wash them when you get them home and stick them in the fridge in a paper towel lined bowl.
I buy the huge crates or half crates of berries in the little green plastic baskets. I cut most of them up, sprinkle with a small amount of sugar, let sit in the fridge overnight in plastic pint containers to "juice", then freeze.
I planted six dozen strawberry plants this spring, which your post reminded me that I need to go pick strawberries, zucchini, and green beans again. Time to go find some unlocked cars and leave vegetables on the front seats.
Ice cube trays are plastic. Besides, my pitstick's gonna
give me breast cancer and Alzheimers before the frozen plastic gives me cancer.
Plastic surgery only works if there's something there to work with in the first place.
She's been trying to look like her dad's "golden girls," Heather Locklear and Farrah Fawcett, for years, but it's not working, obviously never will.
Stedman's has a plastic surgery reference book. If
you are just going to be doing plastic surgery you might could get by with that and a drug book. I use an electronic version of Quick Look and I like that, not sure how different the book might be, but either Quick Look or Drake & Drake are good drug books.
The drug books are updated every year, though I only get a new one about every other year. I believe the plastic surgery book has been updated within the past year, so should be a good resource. You can check the classified board here and e-bay and you might be able to find books cheaper, just be sure you are getting the most current edition. You can go to Stedman's website to verify current edition if needed.
