I have a question. How is a woman getting pregnant relevant to how well she can perform a job? My dad works as an engineer in a major company and he has a male friend who works there and that we think of as a family friend of course. We know him well and he has been married to his second wife for a year or two. They are in their mid twenties to early thirties. The friends' wife worked at some major company. I have only met her a few times but now I can't remember what she does for a living. I think she had been at her job for about five to ten years or so. All of a sudden she gets pregnant and they fire her. Well, I asked my dad did they give her a reason for firing her like being late or bad job performance and he says no, they let her go for being pregnant. I think she works at an administrative type job. It has been a couple of months or so since they did so. Personally, I think she should sue them.

One of the papillae (visible bumps that taste buds are attached to) is white, swollen and tender. It's really disgusting. I keep cutting them off but they just grow back somewhere else.

What exactly are these? How do i get rid of them?

Yeah, so apparently I'm pregnant, my stay at home bf is ELATED... .. so we're KEEPING IT. I wanted to give it up for adoption to a good, unbroken home but apparently I'm the f*cking bad guy here. I'm a very muscular, toned, stay in shape, eat healthy foods kind of woman and I LOVE my body... well, LOVED. Now I have to contend with being a fat b*tch for 9 months, PLUS what it'll take to get it off. My hips will be huge and it's going to suck. I'm not going to lie to you. I AGREED to this only because he litterally is the most amazing guy I have ever met and I don't know HOW he talked me into it.. (Could be the hours of him bawling about keeping it and me not leaving him). I'm WORKING fulltime, til the day it pops out, then I'm going to work the next day. I have a job to do. He's FREAKING out about me working out too much, but it's my body obviously, so I don't even hear him, I already agreed to this crap. How do I get him to f*ck off and stop complaining? He's already getting this kid!!

I have always been a devote Catholic. Until today I have not had any doubts. But Last Friday my sister in law was killed in a car accident. Monday night my Grandmother passed away. And last night while out jogging my husband was hit by a car, He will be alright but he suffered a broken leg and 3 cracked ribs. This morning my daughter who is 10 asked me if all this was happening because God was mad at us. I automatically answered no. But after the kids left for school I was laying on the couch thinking about it all. And yes doubt crept into my mind. Has anyone else ever had this happen? I just don't understand why after every thing that has happened in my life. That at this time when I need God the most doubt is creeping in. When I lost my parents at age 21, Had our baby boy who was born 7 weeks early die at 5 days old, When I was diagnosed with Overian cancer and had to have a hysterectomy, Please wait to answer till I add on to this question.

I have been unnattractive all my life or so I think. I have had many guys like me alot of them have been attractive.

But all of my life I have heard "god she's ugly" this and that. My question is why do some people go out of their way to humiliate me in public by saying this? Especially black people, mind you I am black myself (there are alot of beautiful black women I am just not one of them) but why are black people so rude?

Why can't some people just keep things to themselves why do they have to always vocalize things to purposely hurt someones feelings.

Case in point.

I am walking in the parking lot this girl (all by herself says loudly "she's ugly" loud enough for me to hear why can't some people just keep things to themselves.

I am really confused because I went to a plastic surgeon and he says there is nothing wrong with me that I am okay as I am and mind you good looking men have asked me out. I don't get it I'm confused?

i've had what i thought was dandruff since 3rd grade. i had tried everything from head and shoulders, selsun blue, etc.

but it just made it worse.
i went to a dermatologist and he told me i have seborrheic dermatitis.
he prescribed some prescription shampoo that worked for awhile but stopped working after awhile and some scalp treatment you put in after i shower called synalar. but it just makes the skin drier after i put it on.

he said it can never be healed but i would like to use a more natural way of going about treating it or controlling it at least.

any ideas?

You have a three ounce can and a five ounce can. The cans have no markers on them. You have all the water you need in a well outside. How can you get four ounces using the two cans?

How much weight does an online degree carry when applying for a job? I saw a website recently that offered degrees based on your life or work experience. That sounds too good to be true. Does anyone know of the fastest, most cost effective way to obtain some type of degree without physically attending school that would have real credibility on a resume?

She's now married and I am trying to forget...It is painful ! We're both very much in love with one another, but I guess living in this material world, money does play an important part in any relationship.

Will you please pray for my friend and her puppy? She lost her puppy and it's breaking her heart. I believe that praying does work, when done properly. I'm doing a spell for her puppy as well, but I think a lot of people praying for her could lend a helping hand. Also, if you're Wiccan or Pagan, answer the other question I posted about this matter.
