I wanted to know if I was fired for discrimination. I started a job on August 20th, I was told by my employer that they would accomodate any doctor's appointments that I had, which they did. I did have to call in sick and had to leave early due to illness associated with the pregnancy for a total of 6 times; two of which were consecutive, so according to their rules, only 5 times. I have a very complicated pregnancy due to my own heart problems and diabetes and my employer was aware of this. I was even taken by ambulance on one occasion from work because of a heart episode I had. I had to miss work last Tuesday b/c of complications and was fired Wednesday upon returning from work citing too many absences. I do want to note that another employee hired 2 weeks after I was missed about 2.5 weeks from work last month due to her own medical issue, yet was not fired. She also missed two times after that. Do I have a case of discrimination?

My daughter had 2 walking fish, and she lost 1 and the other 1 got very sick. We thought we were going 2 lose it as well. The only thing we can think of, was when she topped up the tank and put liquid into the water to take out the chlorine. She also feeds them mealworms and bloodworms. Well, the mealworms had fungi growing on them from sitting in the bottom of the tank for awhile. Could this have caused it? A couple of days after she put the liquid in, the dark walking fish died. The white 1 was sick. We took it out and brought in some pond water from the front yard. Filled a small tank with water just enought to cover him. He seemed to get a lot better. We tried to put him back in the big fish tank again and he went lifeless again. We had to take him out again. Could somebody please help me.
Thank you.
Diane

I'm no saint..and i don't ask for anything for me...but once in awhile i get a bit overwhelmed by the day to day grind and would like a little comfort...all my prayers go unanswered...i pray for an end to violence..for the poor and hungry...for those who are in need..but it seems to be all for naught....but if you read this...I hope you are happy and in good health...I pray that God is well and not too displeased with us....I even pray the Devil has a good day once in awhile....

Why do the "atheists" like to hang out in the "religion and spirituality" section? I find it ironic.

I am currently sick of wearing braids and i want to wear my own God given hair but the problem is I haven't got the best hair in the world. I see some black hair that flows with the wind and go back down after the wind has stopped blowing, unlike mine that just stays up there, it never falls back down. When i get it done at the salon it looks good but after a wk or so it looks like i haven't relaxed it in awhile. After i finish washing my hair, it feels dry and heavy. I use motions conditioner and am guessing it's not good for me. I have been researching products but i am confused with the massive products out there and i don't know which to use. I am begging for help, i also wanna grow out my hair this year. All am asking for are tips on how to maintain my hair, keep it flowing and smooth, and what products i should use. I will really appreciate very thoughful answers. THANKS!!!

We all know that excess of purchasing power causes the DEMAND PUSH INFLATION. But is it not true that it is the desires and demand for lifestyle beyond what is reasonably necessary that causes people to use their purchasing power the way they use? Can I say that simplicity of living standards is the true solution to DEMAND PUSH INFLATION
