A friend of mine had this happen while she was pregnant...

In Reply to: Are you pregnant? That happened to me when I was pregnant. I think it - was hormones relaxing my joints. NM
And now, almost 6 months post delivery with no relief of the pain, she has been told that she will have to have the bottom part of her tailbone REMOVED! There was no inciting injury. She just stood up from a seated position and started with excruciating pain.

I have never had anything happen to mine that...
I could not get off. I don't have any scratch marks and I have 5 children and a husband and we all use it frequently. I do know what you are talking about with spill-over making stains and stuff but I find that if I let the stove top cleaner sit for a while on the stain while it is still a little bit warm - it comes off easier.
I cannot imagine you have scratches either. I would get a razor blade and try to do some more work on it.
I wouldn't say anything to the owners until you have done all that you can do to try and get it off. I would even have someone come out and look at it before I told them.
A friend of mine went to work for
them and had a very hard time, ended up going with another service. She told me she was docked in her pay for sending to QA with blanks. She said she could not make any money there.
A friend of mine works there and....
She really loves it! She has been there since August. Her pay has been really great. I am hoping I will get a chance there as well.
Good Luck to you 
Yep, reminds me of a friend of mine
who lost her job as a travel agent (due to technology, Expedia, Cheap Tickets, etc.) and refuses to work for less than $35,000 a year. Says it's "beneath her."
Well she has no other skills, and is uneducated except for a 6-month travel course at a community college, so how could anyone expect to call the salary shots in that situation?
I agree. You gotta do what you gotta do. Sometimes life hits you hard, but it's up to you to accept it or start over with an education.
If you choose not to "accept" a job that pays less, even temporarily, that's your problem, not the government's.
A friend of mine has been on it for over 7 years...sm
and swears by it. He has stayed very trim and his cholesterol is fine. I would like to lose about 10 pounds and thought about trying it, but i love carbs, so don't know if I have the willpower.
A friend of mine did the injections (sm)
and her legs looked great for a little while. Eventually, blood got trapped below the injection sites and they look worse now than they did before.
"Boredom comes from within", a friend of mine used to say.
I have changed careers a few times, all due to sheer boredom and after only 5 years I am already fighting it again doing MT. Interestingly, when my doctor prescribed Cymbalta for my diabetic neuropathy last year, I found my production went up and it was much easier to focus on not only the job but the housework, etc. Have no other symptoms of depression, and am off the Cymbalta now (it did work wonders for the neuropathy).
You might try spiffing up your workspace a little with new curtains or a nice picture on the wall...something that will make you smile when you look at it. Good luck, and take heart in the fact you are not the only one. 
Agree with Lab Rescue. A friend of mine sm
is involved with them and fostered labs before she got another dog of her own. They will provide the dog with medical care and a loving home while they try to find a good home for the dog.
Thank you for being so diligent caring for this dog. You sound like a terrific person. Labs are such wanderers. Hopefully someone will claim the doggie soon. Good luck!!
A friend of mine also had a bad experience with H&R Block

Sounds like a friend of mine - he is now her ex-husband - sm
though, even though "the sex is great", she'd say the same thing. She worked outside the home but was expect to cook a full evening meal from scratch every night (breakfast and lunch on the weekends as well as dinner), no frozen foods, kits, etc. , plus take care of 2 kids, dog, bird, lizards, etc. and of course keep an immaculate house, while servicing him every day. Things got so bad (he has quite a temper) that her kids actually asked her to divorce him, that is sad when that has to happen. But they are now away from Mr. Controlling and much happier. The daughter refuses to see her dad, granted my friend had to pull his teeth to get him to actually see the kids per the visitation at first (2 weekends a month was it), now he is all mad 7 years later that his daughter hates his guts, granted she is 16 now so that has something to do with it too (other than him being a total jerk). He would hold the child support hostage too, so if he was mad her wouldn't give it to her even though he knew she really needed it to make ends meet; so she went to the state and had it set up to be garnished directly so she did not have to "ask" for her support check anymore.....needless to say he was quite tee'd off when she did that. Things are better now but he is still a jerk. They do try to be civil to each other and work as a united front with the kids. Amazingly he has stayed single and has not sucked some other poor woman into his web. -- But you can't do it all. I have not had a night out for probably 18 months, but I do get out every now and then, but my husband definitely has lots of freedom but I don't begrude him as he cooks dinner every day, takes care of the kids as soon as he gets home from work so I can finish up my work or get started on the next day's allotment. He might gripe some but he does help a lot and he knows I do. You need to get yours to get off his butt and help out. As for a 2-day trip, next time just do it like you are tonight. He and the kids will live and maybe he will learn something. My husband had NEVER had the kids to take care of alone until 7/2004 when my mom got sick. I went up to be with her before and after her open-heart surgery. He had them for about 3-4 days, then I came home and took them back up with me a week or so later. He lived. The kids lived, and I think he learned, hey I can do this if I have too. You need to do the same thing (and then hope you don't come home to a mess of a house!). Good luck.
A friend of mine has a brother who was paroled - sm
about a year ago. He was sentenced to 20 years (3 carjacking) and let out after 8, is on parole for 12 years. He was allowed to skip the halfway house situation as he had always tested drug-free in prison; that and his dad bought him a condo to live in. He had to have a signed form from wherever he was to live stating they new he was a convicted felon, out on parole, etc. , so to avoid having him live in a bad area, his dad bought a condo (nice and he screwed over my friend in the process but that is another story). He does not live near where he was incarcerated which is about 2 hours away from where he is now. I don't think there is a restriction as to where he is as long as he is in the same state, so if you are in a different state I'd say you were probably okay. But if he has family where you are, the odds are he is back there as he had to have a living situation set up in advance before they would release him. My friend's brother has already broken parole a few times and is still out, they even reported it to the parole officer but were told that they could not do anything about it (probably have to witness it) which stinks. Her family is now sheilding the infarctions as they don't want him to go back to prison since if he does he will probably die there (40-y/o with hep C, diabetes), plus they are scared of him. The whole situation stinks. But as for the prison officials, I would think they could at least give you the name of the parole officer. Try looking at the prison site on line, you may find something there. Good luck.

A friend of mine signed on at a hospital where
they plan to send her home in six months. She is a new grad. It does sound like some of the hospitals will send you home with the same employee benefits. Keep searching!
A friend of mine in same boat is at Encompass
She actually had less than 5 years exp and like you it was all clinic, and she got hired with Encompass and loves it. She's done both clinic and acute care there I think.
Try for a short sale, a good friend of mine - sm
did that a few months ago, had a mortgage and a 2nd mortgage, and just could not keep up. They agreed to a short sale on the 2nd mortgage, and by a miracle she got a buyer. She actually walked away with about $1K. Lives with boyfriend now which is saving his butt from foreclosure now.

A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
yes I'm trying to get pregnant
My husband and I are trying I have been known to be late the soreness is what is making me think I am.. I hate waiting and I have no patience for this
LOL not pregnant!!!!! NM

I was pregnant at 17...
And though my circumstances were different, I do know how scared she feels, how self absorbed you become thinking of only how this will affect YOU. I absolutely believe abortion is wrong, but the other posts are right in the fact that you will not be able to make that decision for her and all you can do is love her and stand by her regardless of the decision she makes.
My mother-in-law had an abortion when she was young and it literally haunts her to this day. It is hard when you are young to see the forrest for the trees.
There is nothing wrong with stating your opinion in LOVE, but it definitely needs to be followed with...I will love and be there for you no matter what decision you make, if you still want a relationship with your neice.
Pregnant at 16
I became pregnant when I was 16. I was told by my family "you will have an abortion" when the initial shock hit. Then, I was told "you will put the baby up for adoption." I went with my ex-boyfriend (who is now my husband going on 10 years and our child is 12) to talk to a co-worker of his who had an abortion - she said DON"T DO IT! I was made to look through family profiles to consider for adoption. Then when I finally stood up for myself and said wait a minute - THIS IS MY CHOICE, I was taken to talk to my minister to talk me out of keeping the baby. His words were "God has given you this gift and has a purpose for this baby, do what is in your heart." Needless to say, I didn't give it a second thought and decided to raise my child. I did so with the support of my family realizing they had been wrong to judge me and try to make my decisions for me, also with the support of the birth father (now my husband and we have a 2nd child too). I beat the odds, I finished high-school, went to 2 year community college and got a very good job. When our son was 2, I was 18 and husband was 20 - we decided that we wanted to be together, we had grown up and 6 months later got married.
My advice to anyone who finds theirselves in this situation is "do what is in your heart" and do not listen to other peoples opinions, judgements, etc. The decision she makes for her and her child is between her and her God if she chooses to ask him to help her with her decision. If she choses abortion, that is her right (I am a Pro-Choice Christian). I do feel abortion is wrong, but no more a sin than any other as God sees sin as sin, not at different levels. I would hope your niece would choose the option that is right for her, hopefully adoption or raising it herself if she wants and thinks she can do it. What she needs now is support from her family, not criticism or judgement - whether you agree with her decisions or not.
Just my 2 cents, having been there and having assessed all angles myself and now knowing what its like to be in those shoes
Pregnant
I had a son at 16 and raised him on my own. He is now going to be 11 and I am married to a great guy and we just had a daughter together. There are other forms of birth control. The nuva ring is awesome you only take it out for 1 week.
Pregnant or not pregnant??
Okay, I have a total non-work related problem that I need some feed back on.
I am 1 day late on my period, (my periods are usually right on time), and I took a home pregnancy test and there was a very faint line. So, I went to the store to get one of the digital ones, because they tell you "PREGNANT" or "NOT PREGNANT". Well, it says "not pregnant", but then I ejected the stick out and there is a pretty bright, while still a little faint, blue line. The ClearBlue Easy website says if there is any line at all, faint or not, then you are pregnant.
I am just confused. We have been trying for months now and I just want to know. I guess I will find out sooner or later, but if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it!!
THANKS!!
Pregnant or not pregnant?
Ummmm....it's called gynecologist, go see one and he/she will tell you for sure. Congratulations if you are!!!!!!!!
Any pregnant MTs?
I have been an MT for one year and I am currently 3 months pregnant. Lately I have not been able to focus on my work I have been struggling to stay awake. I dread coming downstairs in the morning to do my work because I know it is going to be a struggle to stay awake and stay focused. Does anyone have any suggestions. I currently work 6 hours a day and do a line count of 2100 lines per day. I just don't know what I can do to stay focused and to get my work done. I take a lot of breaks but sometimes I do not even return from my break. I am an independent contractor. Oh, also I have a 20-month old sone at home with me as well while I am working. And I have a lot of mood swings. Is there any other MTs going through this same thing? Any advice from anyone. THanks. I appreciate the help.  
When I was pregnant
and my hubby would use ain't or another word that was used incorrectly, I would lovingly tell him that I was not going to allow him to talk to our children.
I was 18 when I got pregnant, unmarried, of course (sm)
and even though it sounds stupid to me now why I didn't use birth control, it's just because I didn't think it would happen to me. And just FYI, a baby doesn't have to suffer. My unplanned baby is almost 40 and is a great "kid". One of my greater accomplishments. No need to insult.
pregnant niece
I had a similar situation and my niece was 19 at the time. She was not sleeping around, was with 1 guy but not using OCP or anything else because it was her sexual relationship and she thought she "couldn't get pregnant." She had sex ed and was told better, but apparently she listened to her stupid friends instead of her teachers.
I'm a little more hardened than you - I would have told her that I was taking her advice and minding my own business.
I'm not opposed to abortion. I think it is much more of a sin to bring a child into the world when you cannot support s/he and do not love s/he unconditionally.
Your niece made a mistake, a big one, but she should not have to forfeit her chance at a life because of a sexual encounter. If she can't remember to take the pill, she needs to get a patch. But she should be using a barrier method of some kind to prevent STDs.
The fact that she is not responsible enough to use birth control should be a clue that she is not responsible enough to raise a child.
My money is on you - I bet you are pregnant..
Same thing for me and my husband - faint lines and we too took the test to the pharmacist and told her she did not have to touch the test but asked her opinion if she thought we were pregnant...she said if any line is on there you have to be because of the pregnancy hormone is what makes the line...she was right...But there is a slight chance of a malfunction, but doutbful..They test those tests! I hope you are and good luck!!! Please let us know.
I hope you are pregnant since you want it so
much. My advice would be to wait a bit longer and try another test or make an appointment with your Dr. to get tested. I took a ClearBlue Easy test awhile back, and like you, I had a very faint blue line. I went on the website and found out that even a faint line means you are prengnant, but alas, I was not. Good luck to you!!
married since 03 and pregnant now sm
and totally on the way out the door. He is 6 years younger than me, lazy, doesn't know how to keep a job, is immature. Can't handle it. Love him but just can't do it on my own.

I am not currently pregnant, but my son is 13 months old....sm
My production dropped the first part of my pregnancy because I was so sick/tired, picked back up the middle only to fall again the last from being tired. I took two 30 minute naps during the day (my lunch and then my 2 breaks combined). I fixed what I wanted to eat and ate while I was working. Your production will fall, but the main priority is the baby. I also had 2 jobs and both employers were understanding. I knew from a money standpoint I would have to return back to work soon after the birth. When I became pregnant I had every intention of saving enough money I could be off for 6 or 12 weeks, but then my production dropped and so did my money. I had him on a Tuesday, got out of the hospital on Friday and was back at work Saturday. It is hard to deal with a drop in production when your pregnant, but remember it will be over shortly. Keep your baby first in your thoughts and it will make it easier to get through. Good luck to you.
Currently 6.5 months pregnant....sm
I am really, really tired at this point. I have a 2-1/2 year-old that goes to the babysitter for 4-5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and home with me on Friday. I get started at 6 a.m. when I am most functional and my production is the highest and work until 9 a.m. After dropping my daughter off at the babysitter I get back to work for about 4-5 hours. I find myself having to take naps during the day whereas I did not with my daughter.
I try to work extra when I can to help make up for my decrease in production. Also, we both are in the bed at night by 8:30 p.m. just relaxing and watching television; therefore, I feel much more refreshed in the morning.
I thought I went back early with my daughter at 3 weeks, but you have me beat. I do plan on going back at 5 weeks after having this baby, but we will see. Not sure how I will manage with a newborn. By the way, I also work 2 jobs, but I find myself doing very little production on my second job if I work at all on most days, just cannot get it done.
Quit when I got pregnant also....sm
Found out on a Monday I was pregnant and quit cold turkey the next day. Over time the smell of smoke really made me sick while I was pregnant. For a while I still had cravings, but nothing now. It has been 3 years and I have no desire to return to smoking whatsoever. It is really funny now because when I msell the smoke or it makes me all choked up, I ask myself is this what I used to do to people when I smoked?
Pregnant lol.... but good :-) NM
x
The baby you were pregnant with, are you
x
Me, too, but getting pregnant is no longer an option.
I wish I'd never started up again after 8 years without smoking.
I'm the pregnant one who asked for help quitting
and it's been real easy because I can't stop puking long enough to have a cigarette. LOL. Even the smell of cigarette smoke makes me extremely sick.
P.S. They were married for 12 years and she was about 38 when she got pregnant -

My vet is teeny tiny. When she got pregnant with her last
baby she gained 60 pounds. She probably weighs 98 soaking wet. Anyway, her doctors put her on either Relacore or Cortislim and she lost the weight. I have an overweight dog due to a disease and she said they are testing these drugs in dogs to see if it will help so I think there is some basis for it. I took a drug similar that is supposed to block cortisol (can't remember the name, but it was cheaper) and it did help with my belly fat and soon I had to get new jeans because the ones I had I had a handful of material on each side of stomach that hung down in my crotch area and it was very uncomfortable. I even tripped once because I tried to step up over a low stone wall and there was so much extra material it constricted my leg movement and I wasn't able to lift my leg high enough.
I am an emotional eater but I don't have problems with an overactive appetite, meaning I'm not ravenous all the time, never have been.
My neice has found out that she's pregnant.
She's 19 yrs old and single. In my opinion she's not been very smart in the way she's dating, in fact I've told her to knock it off because she's acting like a XXXX. She told me I didn't know what I was talking about and to mind my own business. Now she comes crying that she's pregnant and she's going to get an abortion. She doesn't want a baby, doesn't want a baby without it having a daddy, can't stand the morning sickness, is still in college, blah, blah, blah. She just doesn't want the inconvenience that a baby would bring. I'm just sick. Abortion is WRONG (IMO). She's just coping out on her responsibility. If there were a medical reason she needed an abortion, I might rethink my position as far as abortion goes, but that's not the case here. It's just reverse contraception. She was on the pill at one point but she "couldn't remember to take it." I had a hard time believing she even knew who the father was because of the number of guys she has been with. Can anyone share something with me to help me from literally being sick over this?
When 19 my roommate got pregnant...she was Catholic but - sm
and went to church on Sunday, etc., had guys use condoms, though 1 x did not only because she was trashed at the time and he forced himself on her (per her story). We discussed her options and both of us firmly believed that abortion was the best option as having it and keeping it was not feasible as (1) the guy denied it was his, though that could have been easily disproved, (2) her parents would have had a cow, (3) she did not want her whole life turned upsided down (yes selfish but at 19 that is the way it is). So a few of us got up the cash ($200), I borrowed a car from someone and drove her to the clinic about an hour or so from our school. Personally I think it was the right decision, but then again I am pro-choice/abortion. I don't agree with people who use it as a form of BC though (i.e. multiple abortions). If I got pregnant now (40) my husband (so he says) would push for an abortion, though at this stage in my life I would have a hard time making that choice and adoption would not be an option either....BUT at 19 I'd do it in a heartbeat. I had a scar in college too, I was a month late, using condoms and a diaphragm....luckily I was not pregnant just stressed out apparently. You cannot make the decision for her. You can point out options and pros and cons and possible later life ramifications, but I doubt it will do any good. My roommate married a few years after we graduated and was very firm in her decision never to have children as she just doesn't want them, to this day she has no children by choice. But your niece will need to learn to be more resposible. If she does not want to take the pill, which is so easy to do and remember (bogus excuse), she better carry condoms with her....plus if she is not careful and sleeps around a lot then she will, I guarantee, get herpes or another STD before she gets out of college. Ask her if she wants that or HIV, maybe she will get to thinking. Who knows.
