I've been taking pain medication for a medical reason for a few years.... I take more than I should and realize that I am going to need help getting off this medication. I function & work normally.... noone has a clue & if I run out of meds early then I just say I got a cold/flu or whatever.
My pain is controlled but as I said I take more than I should.... not alot more but still it's getting to be an issue and I want to try and get off this stuff. I've tried weaning off...ya right...no will power.
I started a new job a few moths ago & can't just take a week off yet. I really can't afford to miss even a day of work either but I will if I have to but I am scared to lose my job as well.
My question is:
If I'm honest with my employer and just tell them I need a week or 2 off to attend a detox program.... can they fire me legally or do I have any rights? Instead of pain meds I was going to say I drink as soon as I get home until I go to bed every night and I need help.

Besides the fact that I can experience lower gas bills that is...I wrapped my heater, and I am told that the water in the faucets seem to get hot more quickly..but how can that be, if the water heater has a thermostat? shouldn't affect that correct? TIA!

I have been avoiding the DA, I do not want to go to court!! She called today (on my machine) and said I would be supenod to trial as victim and witness for my X boyfriends Domestic violence towards me. I put all this abuse behind me and don't want to re live it. I have been hurt enough, now fear his HIGH power attorneys are going to twist and turn the truth to make me feel even more insecure than I already do! What kind of questions do they ask me? Do they ask personal, non related questions? Will his attorney find skeletons in my closet? or make them up?

I am a second year chemical engineering major, and I find the major is so hard. I studied a lot more than my roommate, but my GPA is barely 3.0. My roommate's major is sociology. He doesn't study much, and his GPA is almost the same with mine.

I just finished Organic Chemistry final today. It was so hard, and I am just hoping to pass the class. =(

Will chemical engineering get easier in the junior and senior years?

I love natural, science and technology, I want to become a chemical engineer, but if it will get harder, I don't think I can take it anymore..

like these: Eze 17:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
Rev 4:7 And the first beast [was] like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast [was] like a flying eagle

Yes this is all theoretical. If the U.S. were invaded and there were a few U.S. citizens that actively avoided defending the country even though they were physically able. What would be an appropriate punishment?

I'm quite lean with some unwanted fat on my belly and breasts (they are hanging a bit if you know what I mean). I've got quite big arms and legs, but my shoulders are a bit too small and my chest is as I mentioned. I just want to feel comfortable when I take my shirt off.

I currently work on the same muscle group twice per week. For example, I work on my chest, shoulders, and arms for one day; then I rest for 2 days and rotate like this. Some say you should only work on a particular muscle group once per week to grow muscles. I'm quite confused. I don't want to waste time working out the wrong way.

Also, I do 4 sets of 8-12 reps per exercise with the same weight on each set. Should I vary the weights for each set?

Some also said that you must increase the weights and change your routines regularly to manipulate your muscles. Exactly how does one do that? For example, how do I change how I do a bench press exercise? Do I vary the speed or something?

Hi, I'm trying to find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the area bound between the curves y= x^2, x=0, and y = x+2 (in the first quadrant only) about the line
x= -1.

I have difficulty determining the radius when the axis of rotation is something other than the x- or y-axis - it always flips me out.

Q: What would be the radius for this problem & how did you determine it?

I decided to use the Shell method
(V = 2(pi)rhw) for this problem and I THINK the height is (x+2 - x^2) with bounds from 0 to -1.

Please let me know how radius was determined & if I'm basically on the right track! Thanks!!!! :>)
