Sub teacher cant afford Obamacare, now what do I do?
Before I get any smarta&& comments, THINK before you reply please!! I am finishing up college, waiting on a spot to open up in my field (Im a teacher) I am subbing right now. I make ok money doing that BUT, I do not qualify for benefits yet because I am not technically an employee of the school system. If anyone else has subbed before you know what Im talking about. I live with my boyfriend but, we are NOT married and really dont plan on getting married for the sake of insurance!! I had to apply for Obamacare before the 31st or get a fine at the end of the year (and dont get me wrong here I am a democrat but, this is ridiculous!!) I do not qualify for any "help" but I have to have insurance and even the crappy ones (HIGH HIGH deductible) are 150 a month!! YIKES!! I do not go to the dr enough to warrant a 4000 dollar deductible be met. The ones with a copay are OUTRAGEOUS!! No kidding like 300 a month!! What do I do here? Anyone else in this boat? Ive seen people on YA telling people that they can get this insurance for 25 bucks a month??!! Id LOVE to know how!! Who can afford to pay out of their pocket even 150 a month for something they are NOT going to use?? And lets face it, its going to take a LONG time to run up a 4000 dollar deductible. Right now IF I have to go to the dr, I go to a clinic on a sliding scale and pay 60% of my bill and its working fine for me, why do I have to have this?
4 AnswersGovernment7 years agoDo you ever miss people more during the fall and winter?
What is it about fall or the weather getting cooler that makes you miss people? Does anyone else feel this way? Fall is coming up and I always get this really anxious feeling that something big is going to happen. I miss friends more that I have not talked to in months. Just makes me feel lonely all over even if I have no reason to feel that way. I talked to one of my best friends the other day and she said she felt the same way, just wanted to see if anyone else did.
1 AnswerFriends10 years agoDog with diarrhea for three weeks now.?
She has been to the vet twice, the first time our vet thought it was a bacterial infection (she had eaten a sock the night before and vomited it back up) The next time we took her, he thought she might be allergic to the corn in her food and needed to be wormed. We switched her food to Diamond Naturals and wormed her. She has been on antibiotics and sulfur pills. She is still no better :( Her fecal samples are coming back good, has anyone else had this happen? We are at a loss and so is our vet. We took her off all dog food and put her on chicken and rice and that seemed to help some. She is an 8 month old Siberian Husky. The vet also said she might have "garageitis" lol from eating stuff she does not need to. We have moved the trash can so she cant get into it anymore, but, if its on the floor and she can eat it she will! Also, we have noticed she is getting into the cat box some. We have also moved the cat box. Any help would be great. Thanks! She is going outside about every two hours to use the bathroom, even during the night. Very runny and a lot of gas! Our vet said she might have to have a biopsy? Does anyone have a better way to handle this?

2 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoOk need some help with a Christmas song remix for work?
Our boss has asked us to come up with a "remix" to a Christmas song about our work, let me tell you what we do and then maybe I can get some cute ideas, I work for the Dept of Human Services in Tennessee with welfare clients I wanted to use the 12 days of Christmas. and do it like The 12 Days of Christmas good clients vs bad clients. What i do is close cases when someone is not doing what they are suposed to do, like say look for a job or attend school and enter their income say if they got a job and approve supportive services such as free gas cards and wal mart cards when they are what we call compliant and doing what they should be doing. Any ideas would be great and I look forward to a few laughs as well, Thanks in advance for all the cool answers!

4 AnswersCredit1 decade agoIs the unethical or just plain illegal in the workplace?
OK so I work with two "friends" or so called friends, (we were friends before we all started working together anyway!) we met in collage and somehow all got the same exact job in a new company. Our boss, who is not the brightest by any means, has recently told one of my other friends in the company that I’m talking bad about her and saying that she is calling me all the time and that’s why I got behind on my work, and nothing could be further from the truth, I was out sick is why I got behind for last month!! Now, on Monday I know I’m getting put on probation for 30 days because I’m behind. And the reason I know this is because I have my friends emails passwords and checked her email. I know that is not right but when she quit talking to me I wanted to find out why and she wouldn’t answer me! This is how I know my supervisor told her this, I read it in an email!! Now of course my friend is mad at me and wants me fired!! and my supervisor is doing everything she can to get me out!

Any ideas are welcome and if you need any more info please email me, I’m just stuck on what I want to do with them, also Im not at home a lot so something low maintenance would be GREAT!! I love the look of new black mulch but it fades so easy any suggestions there too??
