huge bump in the floor?
After ripping up carpeting to prep for a floating floor, a hump was discovered across the middle of my living rrom. The slope is noticeable now that the floor is bare and I have determined it is directly above the lally columns in the basement. I have received a few "opinions" regarding the remedy to level the floor. One option to level the floor is to remove the plywood and plane the floor joist until the floor is level. That option sounds much easier than jacking up the house and cutting the lally column. I'm concerned that thinning the floor joist may not be safe. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

11 AnswersWeddings1 decade agocafeteria worker sharing too much info?
I work in an office building and we have a cafeteria. There is a woman there who works the register and and sets up some of the foods. She will talk to any1 who has ears and will share very personal information with them like how she knows her husband is cheating on her, how her whole building knows he cheats, how shes hears her husband and this woman having loud sex down the hall from her, how she saw them come home from the beach together and she got out his car with her bikini on, and today the latest......... she has to go to the gynecologist because she thinks she has chlamydia -
this information has sadly come my way over paying for breakfast and lunch - i also heard some other departments talking about her
i dont understand why she shares such embarassing, personal information with people who are not even her friend - just passers by - i know i wouldnt even ever want to know her if i didnt have to pay her for my orange juice in the morning and my tuna @ lunch
should there be a complaint filed with hr?

2 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agowhy are my feelings, likes, dislikes, loves never considered?
I dont know what it is but ever since i can remember, no1 ever (besides fiance) thinks about or takes my feeling into consideration -
example - im out shopping and see a realllly cute frog t-shirt and think oh my god melissa would love this i have to get it for her -NO1 EVER DOES THIS FOR ME
example -entire family made plans to go to disney princess' on ice - eventho im 27 i looooove disney forever and have lots of disney princess related stuff - no 1 called me to see if i wanted to come, there was even an extra ticket they brought along some neighbor kid- WHAT THE HELL?
example - some1 in house mad over their full bottle of juice being dumped out - they are really pissed off about this - i feel they are right in being annoyed and i say yea ur right and help them feel validated in geting snotty with who did it - BUT - ill go to a gourmet deli and buy my favorite pasta salad bring it home eat a little and save for later or next day - to only go back to find it gone - im now enraged - BUT im over reacting and i complain too much
why is it like this - do ppl just not care about my feelings?
i feel very disrespected by family - im 27 - independant - i never forget a birthday or a holiday
whats the issue here?
2 AnswersOther - Family & Relationships1 decade agofiances dad lost job we moved in to help - being taken advantage of?
yes we offered to move in and help out cause it would help us too - we r saving for a wedding - well lets just say we are paying 100 less then what we were living on our own and having privacy
not really paying 100 less - cause we are forced to buy our own food due to the fact that theres a bunch of crap in the house to eat that we dont like - but! when we go out to dinner which is about once a month and have leftovers and bring em home and store in fridge to save for next days lunch, it always gets eaten!!!!!!!!! uhh im sorry were you at the restaurant with us last night? NO - so dont eat my food! - but according to his family if its in the house its fair game?!?!?!?! uh no
not to mention the father isnt even looking for work and his 6 months ui was up last week and hes waiting for extension -
advice on how to stay sane please - fiance wont leave them hanging - says im overreacting -
help help help!
7 AnswersFamily1 decade agorealizing i dont like my future sister in law- ranting this may be long - advice needed-badly?
she always assumes she knows what your talking about and will even go as far as trying to finish your sentence (when you know she has no clue - and her 8 yr old son is exactly the same)
overly obnoxiously assertive - to the point of rudeness
acts like a tough girl but deep down shes a coward
makes plans for her mother to come over and do housework for her when she was on vacation (the mother)
got pissed when her brother and i got engaged - brother is 27 she is 35 she with her bf for many yrs and there will be no ring on her finger anytime soon - did she expect him to put his life on hold until her guy decides hes ready ???
she works for her common law hubby - 10+ yrs uh yea id say so - anyway - she goes to his offiice maaayyyybe 3 times a wk when shes not busy running around spending his money and she enters invoices and prints out bills - she calls this working - i disagree - work is when you go to a job consistantly because you have to not because your bored and have nothing else to do and forbid him from hiring an office person/chick to do so
her child is the by far the most annoying kid i have ever met - spoiled rotten! - never corrected - does whatever the hell he wants
she knows i do not have a good relationship with my mom - when we are all together, she hugs and holds her mom and calls her mommy - the womans not dying and shes usually complaining about her when shes not around - what gives? maybe this part is just me
she is insisting we add an $8 per person shrimp cocktail appetizer @ our wedding cause shes likes it?!?!?!?!
we hung out very often before her brother asked me to marry him - we were close - she was my only girlfriend/friend - i asked her to be my maid of honor - i regret this now
she insists on doing certain things and getting some stuff together for me wedding related - she is holding me up - where i had to just do some of it myself and im dreading when she finds out that i did - cause she will make a big stink about it - and ill just look like the over anxious bride to be
no matter what im going to look like the bad person here - im not close with my family - i have no friends to talk with this about - i tried talking to the fiance but he doesnt see it the way i do
help??

6 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agomaid of honor is fiances sister. shes green!!!!?
I feel like shes trying to ruin my day a little here and there -
1- shes with my bf for 10+ yrs hes 10000% getting married - her and i r quite close so i figured i would ask her to be my maid of honor and focus on helping me as opposed to being upset her younger brother is marrying before her
2- i go to book the wedding venue - and she insists i cant book the day i want cause her best friend who's not even engaged but swears she will be soon will use that day cause she has off of work and that is the best wknd for her yadda yadda - ok fine i booked the next week - only to find out ok her friend did get engaged but will be planning for an entirely different month!
3- i have my save the dates and she offered to print the labels- ok that was a month ago and i have them all sealed up with stamps on em ready for an address label - but she keeps forgetting
my wedding is in 11 months - i got engaged 5 months ago and all this nonsense has happend - what should i expect ? should i call her out on it ???
oooooooooooooo heres the kicker
fiances mom is thrilllllllled!! until the sister is around where she then just ignores or blows off anything regarding the wedding - and that hurts ..
what do i do?
