Common Household Products That Can Poison Your Children

by: Reverend Brenda Hoffman

In the United States alone, someone is poisoned every few seconds. 40% of these cases involve children under the age of 3. 50% of these cases involve children under the age of 6. For this reason, it is important to lock up household chemicals in a high cabinet that is out of the reach of children. In 75% of these cases, the poison was a common household product (ie prescription drugs, non-prescription pain killers, vitamins, cosmetics, personal care and cleaning products, house plants, tobacco products and alcohol). Here is a simple check list to use within your home.

Bathroom: medicines, toilet cleaners, antibacterial cleaners, air fresheners, drain cleaners, mold and mildew remover, and some cosmetics.

Kitchen: glass cleaner, antibacterial cleaner, dishwashing detergent, all-purpose cleaner, insect sprays, oven cleaner, and ant or roach baits.

Living Room: flea collars, rug or carpet cleaners, furniture polish, cigarette or cigar butts in ash trays, and alcoholic beverages.

Bedroom: total release insect foggers, air fresheners, and moth balls.

Laundry Room: all-purpose cleaner, insect sprays, chlorine bleach, woodstains and finishes, and laundry detergents.

Garage: motor oil, windshield washer fluid, oil-based and latex paints, auto batteries, antifreeze, spot-on pesticides to control fleas and ticks on pets.

Back Yard: weed killers, pool chemicals including algicides and chlorine, baits for rodent control, insect repellents, and some new bug zappers.

Now that you've taken not of what these products are, it's time to do something about them. Here is what you can do:

First of all, it is very important that you keep all household chemical products and medicines out of the reach and out of the sight of children. These things really should be locked up whenever they're not in use. Remember that medicines and household chemicals on kitchen counters or bathroom surfaces are very accessible to young hands. It is also your responsibility to make sure that any medicines that visitors may bring into your home are also kept safely away from children.

Whenever you use toxic products, you should never let them out of your sight, even if you must take them along with you whenever you're answering the telephone or the doorbell. Studies show that most poisonings actually occur whenever the product is being used.

You need to store all medicines away from household products, and all household chemical products away from food.

Keep products in their original containers with the original label intact. Make sure that you read the label before you use them.

Avoid taking medication in front of children, since young children tend to immitate adults. You should also make sure that you NEVER call medicine "candy."

The poison control number (1-800-222-1222) should be posted on or near every home telephone.

You need to know the names of the plants in your house and yard. If and when you fnd a poisonous plant, it should either be placed out of the reach of children or, better yet, removed.

Check your home for lead-based paints. You can receive detailed information about this by contacting the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD

Hope Ranch Real Estate and a little history

Hope Ranch Real Estate and a little history

by: Gary Woods

Hope Ranch Real Estate really got going as a residential project when Harold Chase started the Santa Barbara Estates and La Cumbre Estate companies. From the beginning the development was meant to have equestrian interests as part of the package. It was said that a person had to be able to ride down his or her driveway and turn right or left to enjoy the rest of his ride. To that end Mr. Chase sectioned off the property in parcels ranging from 1.5 to about 3.5 acres each and with even some parcels as large as 50 acres.

Every subdivision needs a grand entrance so to that end 360 Palm trees were planted along what is now Las Palmas drive to serve as a grand entrance into the ranch. Radiating off of Las Palmas drive several streets were put in and about 700 lots were carved up. There are still approximately 20 lots which have not been developed so opportunity still beckons in the Ranch....

Five Accessories To Brighten Your Home

Five Accessories To Brighten Your Home

by: Dakota Caudilla

Home accessories come in all shapes, colors and sizes and there's an accessory for every room in your home. Finding creative ways to use pillows, lighting, mirrors, flowers and candles can make all the difference if you are feeling trapped in a dull home. Consider some of the following ideas for a quick makeover.

A pillow's decorative punch

Decorative pillows can add warmth, texture and dramatic accents to your home interior. Choose bright colors and bold patterns to add life to an otherwise boring couch or lounge chair. Add a colorful floral pattern to your stiff classical furniture to add a dash of the earth's warmth. Bold patterns always look dramatic against plain fabrics and surfaces.

For every two patterned pillows, throw in a plain pillow to break the pattern. Too much pattern can become tiring on the eye.

Light's subtle message

Interior lighting can...

Buying Displayed Furniture

Buying Displayed Furniture

by: Bob Benson

Have you ever just had to have a certain piece of furniture right then ? you won?t leave the store without it? If you have ever had such an experience, you have probably been offered the displayed floor model. If you have not had a similar experience, be aware of these issues that might arise when buying a demo, displayed piece of furniture.

Most stores can order furniture for you unless the particular model you want is being discontinued. Or, unless you absolutely, positively plan to walk out of the store with the sofa, recliner, or other piece of furniture that very day.

If you find yourself in either of the above situations, you should be aware of the pros and cons of buying a demo or displayed piece of furniture.

The biggest pro, obviously, is being able to have the instant gratification of immediate ownership. If really, really want a piece of furniture that is on display, try to hold...
