California Goes Bankrupt and Arnold is Repossed!

Sorry you are feeling so bad. Hopefully you can get it on the run in a couple more days. The antibiotics sure mess with your stomache and female tract balances.

Some things I would check into follow.

If your face is hot it tells me something is absessing and you need to go back to the doctor before you have more complications.

I would take every medication prescibed or over the counter that you use and make sure you are not useing something that is rendering your antibiotics useless by accident. It is easier than you might think. Especially if you store them in the wrong place.

I think I would visit a good maxiofacial dentist and see if you don't have some kind of dental problem that is draining down into your inner ear and keeping it infected. A minor visual inspection wouldn't necessarily allert a general practitioner. Maybe and ENT MD but inner-disciplenary approach is rare. The doctor will assume you are not taking your antibiotic right and keep giving you more or refuse to treat you. But if you had your wisdom teeth pulled and they left particals in the socket that are floating down through the back of the oral cavity they might be decaying and causeing infection.

No insult intended but you might want to make sure you have not picked up some kind of drug resistent STD. I can't tell you the number of times I have seen women be chronically ill and not have this checked. Some will be knocked down and then reflare after they build back up when the antibiotics are no longer in the system. Some can hang around for years.

Another thing I would consider; especially if you smoke, or if you have a family history is if you have some kind of cancer. My brother blew off his to being chronic ear infections until it was too late.

I would also ask if you are drinking through a straw that comes in those thermose mugs that have the flex in them? As much as you might wash them the micro-spores of mold tend to grow in them and you are dragging that up in your oral cavity, throat, and ear canals. It will give you and allergic reaction and drainage that can easily drift into chronic infections. Same story if you smoke off of a water pipe.

I am going to talk to you like a Mom here!

Son have you lost your MIND?

The First thing you need to do is REMEMBER you are and ADULT and she is a MINOR. That is a very big difference and you need to be sure what the laws are before you play these VERY Dangerous cards. Not only do you need her permission to pursue her you NOW must also have her parents. Sex is not the only thing you have to worry about if they don't want you around her.

The Second thing is you need to stop putting a WORK relationship on a PERSONAL basis while at work. This is your career future and your freedom that you are putting on the line. I don't know how you expect a minor to react to an adult on the job site but it is YOUR responsibility to obey the law. That you put her on the spot and didn't make you look like and arse is lady like of her and you owe her an apology or at the very least a promise that you will restrain yourself in the future. You are incredibly lucky so far that she has not done what she would be fully entitled to do. What you are doing is sexual harrassment and there are very strict laws against this. Believe me in a tough economy no employer is going to want their business to go down in flames over a lawsuit. Unless you want to ruin your life you need to CHECK YOURSELF. Dismissle for cause will follow you for years.

The Third thing you need to do is to decide if this girl is more important to you than the job.
If she is then find another job and give your two weeks notice. Until then leave her alone. Get the next job before you quit this one. If she likes you she is not going to loose interest in two or three weeks. She may or may not appreciate that you make the sacrifice but you can stake your life on the fact you keep pressureing her on her job she will at least think you are a jerk and make yourself and enemy to her friends and family.

Personally she has already told you she is interested in your mutual friend. Likelyhood would be if she goes out with you it is only to make herself look more desireable to your friend. You push this you are making yourself nothing more than a tool and she will loose whatever feelings of respect and friendship she might have for you.

Fourth if you want to pursue this or any other dateing relationship you need to get your act together. You don't ask for dates on the job you respect a lady enough to respect her privacy. And if you want to ask a lady for a date then man up and figure out the specifics instead of stumbleing all over yourself. You are a man it is time you stop the school yard games and going through third parties to see where your relationships, even beginning ones, stand.

Good Luck. Matters of the heart are complicated and often painful. Sorry.

Dang! I was hoping you were planning a Mingle event. Oh well party on.

While I can not always know each person on Mingle on a deeply personal level my perspective is this is a community of sorts to most of the people who come here routinely.

I feel it is only normal that they bring something as important as a personal loss to that community.

Since you can not always know who considers you a friend I think it is important to respond to a generic request for support how you feel approriate but to at least respond.

Some people have different skills/beliefs and when you are in greif sometimes you want the comfort that is familiar. The communal prayer of even strangers is something that is expected.

Faith leaders are expected, even if they are not personal friends, to give voice to the prayers. It isn't being false it is sometimes just answering the calling.

People who request prayers here understand that isn't everybodies thing and that is ok. They may hope that the people they see "every" day who don't necessarily have the same beliefs streach a little and have the grace to respect their customs with reverence but they don't expect them to do anything that compromises their beliefs even if it is simply not to believe.

I feel that the idea that was voiced earlier that until you experience the need you really won't get it is really very accurate. If you can try to imagine haveing the feeling of drowning, absolute terror, and crushing depression all rolled into one times infinity that is what looseing a child, or a spouse, or parent is like. You can imagine it but you can't feel it until you live it.

I do want to say that in a community it is totally understandable that some people are not going to be comfortable with the expression of greif or doing it publiclly and that is cool. You can't learn anything if you don't ask questions.

I think it is fair to keep in mind that not everyone is willing to deal with these really heavy heavy subjects and don't need to be ragged on for wanting to come to a community that is more of an escape or fun or focuses on the premis that is promoted for; a dateing site.

Some how I am impressed that most of the people who come here are capable of all of it. PEACE!

LOL it would take more than one at my age. Now probably Tyne Dailey?

You choose your feelings. You can either be greatful or sad. Punishing yourself is a choice.

What still bothers me is the obscene amount of waste and profit that stockholders make off of the process.

What other service would you buy that costs more for paper processing and protecting the provider from litigation?

And the fact that they are allowed to profit without results or giving patients the information they pay for.

Since I have neither it is probably unfair to some degree to say To or Not To use either.

But from what has been explained to me access is virtually open to anyone anywhere and that people reveal a great deal of very personal information on these sites. Useing their name, photo, talking about their day to day life, telling who their friends are, medical issues, ect..

To have Privacy, or set it aside,is a right.

I would say that any competent adult has the right to tell what they please and own the consequences good or bad.

I am not sure the average person is really able to comprehend what they are biteing off because it almost infinite the risks that are possible with this kind of exposure. Most people live in a relatively normal situation where life threatening crime is a relative unknown until it hit's them right between the eyes. When it does they have no skills or resources to cope. A person is attacked/exploited it is the community that gets to clean up the mess. How many crimes are we spending millions on trying to solve if these victims did not have such unlimited access? Especially children. Parents unwittingly are totally handing over their children to the world.

What I also question is how often are people abridgeing another person's rights by telling their bussiness by default. It is one thing to watch a person with their knowledge and in person but to have your life reported and disected on a world wide forum, even in bits, puts the notion of Privacy right out the window. If I knew a person who did this I would be very distant and fast and I am probably the least private person you could meet.

Since you do not always know what is a person's secrets this can be a really dangerous thing to do.

My situation is I have little or nothing to loose if my life were to be publiclly disected. I don't have relationships that would end, I will not probably seek another job, my income won't stop, already uninsurable, and I have no need for credit or credibility but that is pretty rare for younger people thus the risk if someone has information that could affect those decisions. Especially the decisions that are being made about you before you even know they are being made.

Yes I think it is probably going to be regulated eventually but for awhile the people in power have a whole lot of power over the average person. Folks better live in such a manor that they are willing to answer for all of their actions regardless if they are having a bad day or not.

All I am going to say is I had a very difficult; extended labor/delivery by anyones standards and as I have said before the pain is bearable and you do forget it so I would try to rest, exercise, eat right, and listen to my doctors directions.

Darlin if He is the fisherman I'll be the catch for sure. lol

Dr. Pepper: and I am in withdrawal; careful, be very careful, don't feed the beast. lol

Then you have to behave like the people who have what you want. Having someone love you usually requires that you earn that privilege. You do not get it just because you want it. You have to be respectful, courteous, and comitted to the person as a whole person. People who find love generally don't have an attitude, tell people how they should feel, or focus on the I.

Keeping them in good and peaceful thoughts. Praying they have what they need.

Reading you profile or this thread does not support that.

My opinion is you are beyond help!

Only the peels. Still good for smoothies or bread.

Coffee candy flavored kisses OMG time warp
