  • Can my boss force me to come in?

    I took yesterday off and I am trying to take today off because I am having some of the most painful menstrual cramps of my life and over the counter medication is not working. I was in tears last night and only got about 2 hours of sleep. It hurts more to be up and walking around, let alone running around with the kids (I'm a pre-school teacher). Even though the reason why is none of my boss's business, I still told her the reason. She is now telling me I HAVE to come in because there are already two teachers out getting tested for COVID, so she needs me today. I apologized and told her I am unable to. At this point, I don't really care if she writes me up because in the end, she is trying to force me to come work when I'm in immense pain. My doctor has suggested the possibility of me having endometriosis, but I've never been tested for it. What should I do? What happens if she tries to threaten my job?

  • What names do you like best?

    My boyfriend and I have brought up the subject of baby names several times. I'm not pregnant nor trying to get pregnant, but I'm just curious about people's opinions of these names that I like. What names do you like the best, and which do you not like? Are there any middle name suggestions that you would put with these names?

    Girls:

    Farren (FAIR - en) or Farrah (FAIR - ah)

    Harper

    Charlotte

    Mikayla

    Elena

    Boys:

    Greyson/Grayson

    Chandler

    Levi

    Landon

    Dominic

    My boyfriend said he always wanted a daughter whose name or middle name is Rose or a variation of it. He likes Roselia, but I don't. I like Roselyn, Rosalie, or just Rose as a middle name. I can also be old fashioned and like Jean as a middle name because it was my grandma's middle name. I'm not too fond of common names, but I don't like extremely uncommon "made up" names. Please tell me your opinions.

  • My boyfriend said he wants to take a break?

    My boyfriend said the other day that he wants to take a break. Unlike actual break ups, this was out of the blue and our relationship didn't fizzle before he said this. He went from one day saying he loved me and that I'm the best thing to ever come into his life, then the next he said he wanted a break. He told me he was very stressed because of so much going on at once: his car problems, finding a job, moving in with a friend, family conflicts, court fees, etc. He agreed to let me come over this weekend and help work on his car. When I asked him if he still wanted to be with me, he said, "At some point, but not right now." He said because of his stress, he'd rather have everyone take a step back from him to let him breathe. He also said he wanted both of us to work on ourselves because there are aspects that need to be worked on. He had no problem hugging me, sleeping in the same bed, etc. over the weekend. He still texts me, mostly him texting me first, and asks what I'm doing. I don't want any negative comments about this, but I also know he checks to see where I am (snapchat map) off and on. I feel like he doesn't want to be broken up with me permanently and that it is really the stress, but the unknown scares me. I also don't want to keep asking him about that status of us, but I also don't want to act like I don't care. I don't want to lose him because he's the only person in my life that has made me feel worth something. Any advice?

  • Your experience with Bupropion (Wellbutrin)?

    If you have ever taken Wellbutrin, can you describe your experience while taking them? Please be brutally honest. I was on Sertraline (Zoloft) 50 mg a long time ago and I could barely take that dose (the lowest) without throwing up. It also gave me severe insomnia and I never wanted to eat while taking it. Then, they switched me to Lexapro (Escitalopram) 10 mg. At first, it boosted my mood very slightly, but it gave me an extremely upset stomach and I was constantly running to the bathroom. Now, I still have an upset stomach every day and my mood has actually gotten worse, so I called them and they want to switch me to Bupropion (Wellbutrin) 150 mg once a day for three days and then bump it up to twice a day. However, I keep finding negative articles about it online. Can someone give me feedback on their experience even though I know all drugs affect people differently.

  • Friend of mine has a one year old that cries constantly?

    As the title stated, my friend has a boy who is a year and 3 months, and we have never seen a child his age cry nearly as much as he does. He cries even when he got a full night's sleep, no dirty diaper, had enough food, everything. He is not sick, and he's done this pretty much since he was born. He constantly wants to be held, and he will scream his head off the second he is put down. He will scream until he is picked up again, and even sometimes will continue to scream when he is picked up. If you walk away, he will constantly follow you around. He refuses to be more than three feet away from you, even when you give him toys to play with. He doesn't want them. The mom thinks something may be wrong with him, but the pediatrician acts like she's full of it. Her entire family and all of her friends have witnessed his behavior and agree that it is strange. Can anyone give their input on this behavior? Have you ever experienced this?

  • Find My Device message popped up?

    I was just sitting here at home when my phone popped up with a notification saying "Find My Device" and the only contents of the notification said "1". Just the number 1. I tried clicking on it and nothing happened. I have never played around with Find My Device, so I'm a little worried this could mean someone has tried to get into my google account somehow. I really don't know much about Find My Device, and I can't find answers online about that specific message meaning.

  • Court summons while out on bond?

    My boyfriend was arrested for reckless driving (100 mph in a 60) and possession of paraphernalia. He was out on bond for awhile, and then another incident happened where he got caught trying to steal shoes from a mall. He was not arrested, but they set a court date and trespassed him from the mall. Coincidentally, both court dates were scheduled for the same day and too close together to be able to make it to both. So he was advised by the courthouse to write a letter to the judge explaining the date/time overlap and ask to have the court date moved. Now, everyone is scaring me by saying he could have a warrant out for his arrest because he got in trouble again while out on bond. However, if he was never arrested for the theft, is this still a possibility? What could likely happen?

  • Can you remove a device that's currently logged into your Samsung account?

    I gave my old phone to a friend after factory resetting it.  They texted me saying all of my stuff reappeared on the phone. I went on my Samsung account and removed the device, but will all my stuff disappear off the phone while they're still logged in?

  • Charged with possession of paraphernalia?

    My boyfriend was pulled over recently for driving 100 mph on a 60 mph country road. He was taken to the local jail, they charged him with reckless driving, and they impounded his car. He had a $500 bond posted which was paid the same day and he was released. We also got his car back the next day. He now has to appear in court. However, we looked up his record just now and it says they pinned possession of paraphernalia on him as well. The only thing he had in his car was a one hitter and less than a gram of CBD flower that he bought from a local vape shop (which the one hitter was used for). He did not have anything else, not even residue of marijuana. The CBD flower did not even contain THC whatsoever. What are the laws regarding having a one hitter if it did not contain any marijuana? Also, why would he not have been told about this extra paraphernalia charge while he was in custody? What are the possibilities of the charges in court? We are also in Indiana if that helps.

  • Adding friends on facebook?

    I have a question regarding facebook. My friend and I had an argument and I noticed their facebook profile (which I was friends with him on) does not have the button saying we're friends. Just the option to message them and the "..." button. I went to my friends list and searched him, and he did not pop up. I asked if he deleted me on facebook and he said it still says we're friends for him. I have mutual friends with him, so if he did unfriend me and set his settings to friend requests can only be from friends of friends only, shouldn't I still be able to see the button to do so? Also, if he blocked me on facebook, wouldn't his profile not show up when I search him? I'm very confused and don't know whether to believe him.

  • Boyfriend broke up with me. Is there a chance of getting back together?

    My boyfriend and I were texting today because he was quiet and not responding for the last couple of days. He would open my messages and not respond, so I asked him why. He told me he has a million things on his plate stressing him out at the moment (car payments, quitting his job, having to move in with his mom, etc.) He told me he wasn't going to cut off communication with me and that we can still hang out, but he just didn't want the stress of a relationship among all the other things. We weren't together for very long (5 months), but we had a very strong physical and emotional connection. He would drop anything for me, and I would drop anything for him. Do you think there is a way to mend a relationship back together? And if so, how should I go about doing so?

  • Opinion on a situation with liking 2 guys?

    So I have this situation where I liked this one guy (call him J) who is really sweet and mature. He has a nice job, he s in college, and a lot of opportunities going for him. However, there is another guy (call him M) that I like more, but others would probably not approve of him. He does not have a job (he s looking for one though) and he is trying to attend IV Tech. He is honestly not as attractive, but he has a heart of gold. He never takes anything for granted in life and he knows the value of things. He s a better listener and communicator, and he would drop anything he was doing if it meant doing something for me. Both want to be with me and I don t want to hurt the other. I honestly like M a lot more, but I m not sure if he would be able to support himself, let alone another person. But I feel like J is not as caring and down to earth. What is your opinion on what I should do? My brain says J, my heart says M.

  • What type of injury does this sound like?

    When I was at work today (in a school) I wa running in the hallway with high heel boots on. I fell with my foot bending completely inward (bottom of my foot towards the other leg). It's been 12 hours now and my foot is still extremely painful and swollen. Everyone keeps mentioning a sprained ankle, but the pain is only in my foot. I cannot put ANY weight on it at all. Any type of weight on it makes it a 10 on the pain scale. The pain is mostly near the outer edge by my pinky toe along the bottom of my foot and in the arch. I'm hopefully going to the doctor tomorrow for x-rays if they send an order in for me. Does anyone know what this type of injury sounds like?

  • What breed is this cat?

    We just recently found a kitten dumped at a gas station, already found it a home, etc. I am just curious as of what to call this cat as far as breed or color. It is kind of like a calico, but it has grey instead of black. So it is grey, tan, and white. It is also a female and I know most calicos are female. Any idea of what breed she would be called?

  • Very good low maintainence aquarium fish?

    I have recently gotten a cheap aquarium that does NOT have a filter because they are extremely expensive. I have had betta fish in the past and I just recently got some mollies for a change, but the mollies are not doing well. I know you cannot put fish in with bettas because they will kill them. I just need to know some type of fish that is inexpensive and does not require a lot of maintanence that I can put in with the one molly I have left. Otherwise, I might have to find a filter and see if that helps.

  • What are the chances of having nerve damage from back surgery?

    I was born with Spina Bifida and recently I ve had an increase of leg and back pain and numbness in my right leg due to spinal cord tethering. I went to a neurologist and he said that if it were to get even worse, a possibility would be back surgery to open something up and relieve the nerves so they aren t as pulled. He told me that there are risks of nerve damage if I go through with it. I m very worried about this surgery and would like to know what the chances are that i could get nerve damage from it. Is it common? Is it rare?

  • How fast can hemoglobin go down if iron is low?

    The other day I got my blood drawn because I m anemic and they had to test my hemoglobin and iron levels. I had iron infusions last year during October and they last for about a year. My results came back and my iron level is low (7.9), but not my hemoglobin (13.2). They want me to take iron supplements, but I ve told them many times I cannot take them because they burn my stomach like crazy no matter how much food I have with them. Honestly, I d much rather have the infusions, but I am not able to have them right now because my hemoglobin is normal. I know iron effects hemoglobin, but how long would it take before my low iron brings my hemoglobin below normal?
