  • Alcohol and Glucose/triglycerides/cholesterol elevated advice?

    So here is my story!

    Me and my fiance got together when I was 21.. He drank tequila but not heavily. When he did drink that's what he drank. Well when we met we would drink margaritas then started taking shots of tequila. I am now 29 and its become a routine for at least the last 7 years that we would drink shots around 10-15 a piece around 8pm and pass out around 2 or 3. Probably once every 3 to 4 weeks at first then gradually made it to once every 2 weeks to now a couple times a week

    It's gotten better and has gotten worse depending on his work and job. Its mainly me that encourages and wants to drink. I wont drink unless he drinks with me. We only drink at night time and even with a bottle in the fridge I wont touch it unless he drinks with me. When he says he doesnt want to I convince him. It's sad. so I've been in denial that I've been a alcoholic but, I went to the doctors 4 days ago and they told me my glucose was elevated and my cholesterol was elevated and my triglycerides were pretty high as well as my blood pressure. I am overweight. 5'2 (231 pounds). The doctor Told me to start eating better and getting exercise and I've been doing all of this But when I look all this up.. It says alcohol can make all these things elevated or high. I tell my doctor I am a social drinker. But, I'm starting to think our drinking habits are what's causing all this. I'm sure my eating habits changing will help but, when I think of stop drinking it makes me feel uncomfortable

  • Legal advice.. Hoarder clean up?

    I need some Legal Advice.

    I run a cleaning business and have been hired by a woman to clean her Hoarder house. Her home was completely covered in Dog and cat feces and urine. Her furniture was soaked with urine. There was even feces on the walls. Trash everywhere etc. We went in there and cleaned everything. It took us about 2 weeks and all we had left was her bathroom and a second wipe down of everything. She paid us half up front then $300 Wednesday. So she still owes us $550. Well she has been nothing but trouble from the beginning. Complaining about everything! Under her bed there was tons of trash/dishes and etc. Everything was covered in poop and urine. So we threw everything away. Anything that was covered in feces and urine we tossed. Well she texted us thursday and fired us and is refusing to pay us the $550 she owes us because she said she wants the dishes kept and we shouldn't have thrown anything away. Again, the job was completed except for her bathroom and a final wipe down.

    There is a lot more details but this is long enough.. do we have a case to take her to court for the remaining $550? I have all before and after pictures.

  • Accused of stealing a Fire arm and I need help?

    Ok, My Boyfriend and I own a cleaning company and one of our clients has accused us of stealing her Firearm.

    I never saw the firearm or even heard of a firearm until she called me asking if I seen it. My husband did see it and that's the first I heard of it. He said he removed the firearm along with other stuff from on top of the entertainment stand to dust. He put everything in a basket on the bed. She came in there and was going through everything in the basket so he assumed she moved the pistol because it wasn't there when he put everything back. Well a week or so later she called again and asked if we were sure we didn't see it because she has searched the house up and down. Again we told her no. Then a week later a officer called us in for questioning. We were supposed to meet him today at 1pm But, I have been calling lawyers all day and they have all said not to speak to the police unless I have a lawyer. So I called the officer and left him a voicemail that I am going to look for a lawyer. My question is.. Where do I stand now? Does he have to give me time to find a lawyer? Can he arrest us? Beings that I never even seen the firearm will just my boyfriend be the main one accused? I've never had to deal with anything like this and I am kinda freaking out because I did nothing wrong.. And I don't want him arresting me just because I want a lawyer.

  • Can I be arrested?

    Me and my husband have had a cleaning business for four years this is the first time we've ever been accused of stealing anything and I need a little advice. My husband and I cleaned for a older lady and she called us 2 weeks later saying that her pistol was missing. I never even seen a pistol! My husband moved the pistol from on top of the dresser along with other stuff to dust and then when he put everything back on the dresser the pistol wasn't there so he assumed she had moved it because she was going through the stuff he was taking down. 2 days later a police officer wants us to come in for questioning? Do we need a lawyer? I have really bad anxiety and find it extremely difficult to talk to anyone. So I don't want the officer to yell at Me and get in my face. Can they arrest us if they have absolutely no proof? We have never and never will steal from a customer and cannot afford for this to happen to our business. Any suggestions will be great.

    Thanks.

  • Poetry help. out and out by Robert Frost?

    Can someone help me figure out this poem?

    I need to know

    Who is the boy? How old is he?

    How is saw personified?

    What does it mean when frost write "at the word, the saw?

    Here is the poem

    Mountain Interval1916The buzz-saw snarled and rattled in the yard

    And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,

    Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.

    And from there those that lifted eyes could count

    Five mountain ranges one behind the other

    Under the sunset far into Vermont.

    And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,

    As it ran light, or had to bear a load.

    And nothing happened: day was all but done.

    Call it a day, I wish they might have said

    To please the boy by giving him the half hour

    That a boy counts so much when saved from work.

    His sister stood beside them in her apron

    To tell them "Supper." At that word, the saw,

    As if to prove saws knew what supper meant,

    Leaped out at the boy's hand, or seemed to leap --

    He must have given the hand. However it was,

    Neither refused the meeting. But the hand!

    The boy's first outcry was a rueful laugh,

    As he swung toward them holding up the hand

    Half in appeal, but half as if to keep

    The life from spilling. Then the boy saw all --

    Since he was old enough to know, big boy

    Doing a man's work, though a child at heart --

    He saw all spoiled. "Don't let him cut my hand off --

    The doctor, when he comes. Don't let him, sister!"

    So. But the hand was gone already.

    The doctor put him in the dark of ether.

    He lay and puffed his lips out with his breath.

    And then - the watcher at his pulse took fright.

    No one believed. They listened at his heart.

    Little -- less -- nothing! -- and that ended it.

    No more to build on there. And they, since they

    I need some advice about a rental agreement?

    I am in need of some legal advice regarding a home that I rent. Please only reply if you have reasonable knowledge of this situation.

    I have lived in a double wide for a year and a half now. Our landlord also was our Boss until recently. She owns a vacation rental business so my husband and I cleaned and managed the homes. Well, we recently quit because of being taken advantage of.

    Well, we've had issues at our home for 6 months now including mold growing on ceilings, caved bathroom floor, moldy carpet, double wide separating and a leak in our kitchen sink. For six months she has been promising to fix these issues and she still hasn't. Well when we quit she emailed and told me that she suggest we move because she is not sure if she can repair the mold. We are paid up on rent until Feb 1st.

    We stayed and dealt with the issues in hopes that they would be repaired due to her promises. Well they still are not and we would like to know where we stand. Do we continue paying rent or hold our rent payment until it gets fixed and if she is refusing to fix them what do I do?

    What legal steps do I take and will a judge see this as wrong? I have all emails over the 6 month period of her promising to fix these issues.

    Thank you

  • Pollip* on cervix?

    Hi, I went to the E.R last night because i do no have insurance and have not had my menstrual cycle in 2 months. Im not pregnant, I was given a blood test and urine test and results showed negative. I was given an exam. The doctor said I have a pollip on my cervix but it was nothing to worry about and had a bacteria infection which was common during summer..

    I scheduled a appt with a Obgyn in the middle of Sept. Because that's the only time I can afford the office visit.

    My question is I am a hypochondriac and refuse to look up what a pollip on my cervix means, So I wanted to ask someone if they could narrow it down and tell me if it is something I need to be seen sooner about?
