Well, there's a good amount if you use the search feature.

I already know about all this. If I was rich, I'd be eating all organic products. Organic is expensive and because of that .. I personally don't have a choice. Though I eat organic whenever I can.

Organic foods actually help with my allergies. Just by eating Romaine Lettuce by Wild Harvest at least once a day ...has improved my allergies. I'm less itchy and less likely to break out.

If I wasn't such a food junkie, I would have ditched processed foods a long time ago but I find that very hard to do. I have however managed to stop eating fast food. McDonalds was my worst enemy. It's crazy how the additives in their food makes you go through withdrawl if you stop eating it. And I'll never go back.

I have not heard about this being a problem in pet food. What brand names of pet food?

We do still have a choice but those choices are either hard to find or more expensive.

I agree also!

You might be allergic to your own sweat and have some issues with going out into the sun. I was told a long time ago that I am allergic to my own sweat. If my feet sweat too much I start out with a couple of hives on the bottom of my feet and because they itch so much they turn into blisters. I've learned to manage it over the years so now I don't have the problem anymore.

If it's very hot out or the sun is beating down on me, my arms will also break out into small hives. I am beginning to think I am somewhat allergic to the sun. But the reaction isn't alarming enough for me to seek help.

I am a fan of cold water. It brings my body temp down and helps with whatever allergy issue is bothering me. Also, if you have access to a pool .. swim often because I have noticed that I have no allergy problems while in the pool and for the whole day after swimming.

I found this intriguing. I went away for a week one summer to Wildwood, NJ. My allergies were NON EXISTENT down there. I didn't even want to leave. I'm still perplexed.

Hope you get this sorted out. I know how it feels to be driven crazy by your own body.

I used to have that same line in my profile. Only because people can't deal with the fact that I know what I want. Just sayin ..

Oh, and welcome, Mr.

COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!

I did something similar. I started to eat an organic salad once a day and that has seem to help me also. I was also eating organic fruits for a while too which also helped.

I do! Except mine are in the form of these red pimple like things that itch and cluster. I break out on my arms mostly and elbows.

I found out I was gettin them on my elbows because I am allergic to nickel. So not only did I have my belt buckle brand me on my lower stomach, but the button of my jean was a problem too. I found out nickel allergies can spread. So even though my allergy has to do with clothes I wear near my stomach, I was breaking out on my elbows. I obviously had to find a solution to clear things up.

I use Zyrtec because nothing else works as good. I had to switch my soaps, shampoos and everything else to everything Aveeno and earth friendly (like the 7th gen. products). See, your situation is what happened to me months ago. This suddenly started happening to me. I switched my laundry detergent, soaps, shampoos, etc to products without formaldehyde and harsh chemicals. It helped by 70%. Your body changes when it wants too. I would try the things i did because oatmeal baths never worked for me. A lot of people are allergic to formaldehyde and don't even know it. That type of chemical is found in a lot of every day things.

I stay away from air fresheners and such things as well potent candles. Everything I use hygiene wise is fragrance free and derm approved.

I am with you on that. I used to be able to snag jobs like that. But the last 2 years have been very difficult. I have a real good long term work history with second jobs on top of ones i already had.

Yeah, but a lot of companies only have applications online. Such companies as Petsmart, Petco, Acme, Shoprite, etc. A lot of employers have done away with paper applications.

I don't have a problem with spending my weekends going from place to place to actually fill out those who still have paper applications but gas is so expensive.

What is a One Stop?

I think that there is just THAT much competition for jobs and it is even harder when a massive amount of people are applying online for the same position.

yes, I know but I am using careerbuilder, simplyhired, indeed, and so forth .. all of which employers request that you do not contact them by phone or in person. Or there is not enough info provided to even contact them by phone.

I would love too. I did pet services for a long time and I was going to make that my business but recently the remains of my clientele have either moved out of state or lost their jobs. I have advertised myself but to no avail :(

I was thinking about walking into a staff agency but I'm not sure on that yet. I mean I have a job and I'm thankful for it but I also know what I want in life and what I want to do with my life. This job is certainly not going to help me with any of that. I want to better myself and I find that very difficult.

Good luck to you also.

Since I have been actively seeking a new job for about 1.5 years now (with no luck) I thought to create a thread where everyone could post tips. I know I could sure use some tips on how to get some call backs. I must have a billion resumes floating out there in cyber land and I can't get a call back to save my life. What gives?

I know it can't be my resume. I have had several people critique it and was told my wording is beautiful. So, fellow Minglers, if anyone has any tips .. don't be shy!

A few years ago i got involved in a serious relationship with this guy. For whatever reason my cat was not too friendly to him (and he loves people especially those who like cats). So a few times a week when we went to sleep, the cat would creep to the end of the bed, disappear beneath the blankets and just claw the crap out the bottom of my ex's feet.

In my apartment in the bathroom there's a "secret" compartment in the wall. It's square, about 2.5 feet in length and held in with screws. When I first moved in, one of the screws up top came out. It had to be drilled back in. I don't own a drill and had to go to work so I left my ex home with the cat. When I came home, I was told I almost lost my cat to the inside of the wall. Don't you know the darn cat clawed away at the one corner (where the screw came loose) and got halfway inside the hole before my ex found him.

Upon further inspection, I found this hole drops down pretty far. To where who knows but I'm just glad my ex was there. Not only is the screw drilled back in (as best as can be) but it is also outlined with lots of masking tape. I'll be darned if I lose my cat to the hole that appears to go nowhere.

you dog .. do you howl at the moon too? Ha .. JK!

You are welcome No I have never seen that movie but yes I would have the driver's side door unlocked for you by the time you went to open it ... it's like an instinct
