posting so our friends in the diff time zones can have a go...pick u topic to rant on : )
Selma...no worries..I think that 2 ppl posted like right after me and so I kinda got bumped really quickly!! I have heard of some ppl actually getting a rash from the lights after spending too much time and being too close to them..doesn't sound good to me!
Warriormama- I know how you feel too :( I was finally getting things together and went back to school to get a career and then bam! I was totally railroaded...I have to keep the faith though that I will get back to it or that I will find a new path that I will enjoy just as much!!
Carolyn...thanks...I really didn't see ur comment or much from neone to be honest with all that said florescent lights bothered them, I thought this issue would get more posts....
WarriorMomma...I know how u feel, I am out of my job for 2 yrs now, and I was employed with that company for 15 yrs!!
Hang in there : )
I hate that my career will be ending very soon due to CM. But that is God's will. And I have faith :D
Selma...I commented...but I think it got missed...
This is what I said:
As for the lighting, I have switched to the energy savers in my house but it has bothered me on how they affect me. Part of my solution is that I bought lamp shades and covered lights to soften the glow...Also, in the light fixtures that I normally would put two normal bulbs in, I only put one. You are right though, that type of lighting affects many of us and we should have a choice or at least an alternative, I'm sure they could come up with something that is energy saving w/o all the bright light. I am a huge recycler so it is this struggle in me...most of the time I just leave the lights off!
So you didn't have to go looking lol..
Molly...well our Gov officials have said that the companies that make the regular light bulbs must stop making them and that only the new style of florescent can be made...we have to speak up and let them know how these lights affect us !!
