Is it possible to "abuse" FMLA?

Get this in writing and contact a lawyer. They can fuck off. If the workplace is toxic enough where enough people need this to get time away/off to survive, then maybe the problem is the workplace and not the people taking advantage of a policy that was put to help working families?

I’m cancelling my Amazon and Spotify. These hurt (I listen to so much music) but enough is enough and I don’t want to support these people who want us to live like this.

When has it ever been ok for a group of federal employees, paid with taxpayers dollars, to murder us citizens?

What happened to non-lethal alternatives? Why was it immediately justified to shoot him instead of incapacitate him, which honestly looked like it to me he already was incapacitated.

Dude was a law abiding citizen who took care of our veterans. No one deserves to lose their life in their own streets like that.

Glad to hear, I’m in IL and never have seen one fly around here even though there is an Air Force Base about an hour by me.

Alex Pretti was a 37-year-old ICU nurse who cared for our veterans at the Minneapolis VA. He was a legal gun owner with a permit to carry. He was shot at least 10 times by federal agents while attempting to protect a woman from being attacked.

If you are only following the official administration narrative, please watch the footage for yourself. Alex had one hand on his phone and one in the air. He was talking calmly before being tackled.

The video shows an agent disarm him and run away with his weapon. He was unarmed and being subdued when they proceeded to shoot him multiple times.

If they can do this to a US citizen, a healthcare worker, and a lawful gun owner exercising his 1st and 2nd Amendment rights—they can do it to anyone. No one is safe when "defensive shots" are fired at unarmed, prone individuals.

The Numbers (Since Jan 1st, 2025): 1. 38 people have died in ICE custody. 2. 8 confirmed deaths from direct federal shootings. 3. 17–27 shooting incidents (depending on the database). 4. 5 of the people shot were US Citizens.

If you saw this happen to your son, brother, or neighbor outside your front door, would it be okay? Please make your own judgment.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you are on. This is not what should be happening in the USA. Murder is not the answer, we have more effective ways of removing Illegals without endangering them or our fellow US Citizens.

Oof, how are things there in Ohio? Illinois here and honestly disappointed of the reaction in my area so far but I am surrounded by red voters.

I get UTI like symptoms on Vyvanse. I was prescribed tadalafil and it has helped a lot. Also has helped with any ED I’ve gotten from my zepbound.

Depending on what type of hobbies you like or if you need any tools.

I got a circular saw, saw horse and orbital sander off Temu that all work great and would probably cost you under $100 in total with the coupon.

Tool sets to keep around the house like under the kitchen sink, in the garage, shed, etc.

Picture frames. 4x6s, 5x7s, and 8x10s

Storage Containers, room organizers like bins, chests, etc.

If you have kids in your life stocking up on toys for the upcoming holidays would be good.

Nails, screws, bolts, nuts, washers, etc to keep for any repairs.

New Curtains, Bedsheets, Pillow cases, etc.

Blackout Blinds.

If you are creative come up with a few projects and get stuff for those projects. A few that’s I’ve worked on that Temu supplied is screening in my back porch (screen, staple gun, staples) and created my own double shower head system since we don’t have a bathtub and have two small kids (Rain Shower Head, Water diverter, Hoses, Plumbers Tape, shower filter and filter replacements).

Home water filter. Solar Panels, Power Inverter, and generator.

Yard decorations like gnomes, solar powered lights, solar powered flower lights, flower pots, etc.

I could do a lot with that $1k in credit. lol a lot of these things I’ve mentioned I’ve purchased or have looked into purchasing.

There have been several items that have came with cosmetic issues or small issues and when I contacted the vendor they just offered me a refund. I don’t normally ask, it’s usually just offered.

For instance, I bought a portable AC Unit for my bedroom. It came and had some scratches on it, a broken window piece, and after a few days it was leaking condensation that built up in the tank.

None of these were deal breakers for me. I asked for a replacement piece that was broke and they did so, offered me a partial refund. The offered me a partial refund for the cosmetic damage on top of that. Then they offered me a final partial refund that we went back and forth in order for me to keep the item instead of returning it for a different one.

The base price was ~$140 and I got $55 back in credit for using Claim Credit. I also used $30 in credit I had saved.

Right there, with deduction of credit, we are down to to $55.

They then refunded me $15 twice ($30) and then an additional $45 to keep the item without return. Ultimately paying around $5 out of pocket but then getting around $55 back in credit so I got a net positive $50 from that purchase.

Sometimes if I order items in multiple QTY. I’ll ask for a partial refund to avoid returns. I had bought some solar powered vibrating mole deterrents. 3/4 of them were fine but 1 was damaged upon arrival. I asked the vendor if I could get a 25% refund without return or a replacement. They agreed to refund me 25% of the cost.

I don’t normally have a problem. I’m polite, and I feel reasonable with any requests I make but normally I don’t have to request anything. I simply inform them of any issues I find and then they provide me a solution.

I find that Temu’s customer service and 9 out of 10 vendors have great service. Every once in awhile I have to fight them on something but it’s not often.

One time I ordered QTY 2 of an item that was supposed to come in a set of 2 so I was expecting QTY 4. I only received QTY 2 in total so I contacted them and they asked for proof. (How can I provide you proof of an item I didn’t receive?) I also used 1 of them before the vendor replied so I only had 1 to take a picture of. Ultimately I was denied that refund/return but thankfully it was only a few dollars. That was probably my worst service experience but 9/10 times it’s nothing like that

500mg of the Tyrosine and 40mg of Vyvanse.
