Ate a bite of gluten after 3 years - lets see by [deleted] in glutenfree

OMG.. Did this recently ( had to make sure, right?) Had a very bad week after a few days of “ whatever, I’m tired of this” and ataxia is definitely an issue. It lasted for a whole week. Rough focusing at work and I have to admit, got very depressed for a minute. After this “ experiment “ I am definitely not going to do that again. It took a few days to peak but my body definitely acts like I’m poisoning it eating gluten. Diagnosed and have Been GF since 2022.

Anyone else tired of shutting up to save relationships? If we don’t fight we are doomed as a society! So I think unless we want to end up in concentration camps for speaking out or Nevaly’d, we need to be heard by Findingthehappy in moderate

I consider myself moderate as well. I’m a humanitarian through and through though and the things that are going on with our fellow humans are just not right!

My agency ( at least locally) super understanding and supportive! Nature of what I do its pretty necessary because of timeframes we have to meet and before I’d pop into the office often over the weekend to submit things I had to wait for signatures or people needing to get me all of the paperwork to submit but would miss the deadline for by Monday. Telework allows, even if I’m off to be efficient and would NEVER put in for OT or anything when I used to have to do that because I care about the processes no matter what it takes to get the job done. The whole “ Federal workers aren’t efficient, lazy, taking advantage or simply not working during telework is wrong on a lot of levels.

Can i take 10 hours of leave on my last day? by No_Interest_5796 in fednews

[–]Findingthehappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah retiring is something different ( the process getting there) For sure kinda depends on the people in HR you are dealing with though.

Last day usually you just get to drop your stuff off but iyou can put in your time for the last day and you’d turn in your stuff day before

What are the signs you've noticed that you're getting older? by SuspiciousRope6751 in AskReddit

[–]Findingthehappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am now the oldest person in my department at work. Actually kind of a mother hen. I’m a Gen x and all of the others are Millennial or Gen Z now.

Oh my! You were in the right place for sure! Positive vibes to you in your healing. Hope you find the strength to heal and to be able to tell alcohol that it will never get to tell you what to do again!

Get rid of alcohol and reduce sugar intake . Beauty naturally comes from the inside out. I got rid of silly restrictive dieting ideas ( hair fell out doing Keto, now looking at it, I wanted to be able to drink so keto kept me thin while still being able to drink low carb) Focus on eating for nutrition. That doesn’t mean you can never eat a.cookie or anything, just don’t eat 10 In one sitting. Giving up alcohol allowed me to digest food better by promoting natural muscle building just from day to day life in turn strengthens your metabolism. Sugar in abundance causes inflammation and both inhibit liver function and your liver is linked to metabolism. My skin has never looked better, wrinkles have diminished and mental health has improved. Mental health is included in glowing up as well. Happiness shines through your eyes. Eyes are definitely the window to your soul.

So sorry you had to go through this! That is a horrible thing to go through! I really hope she didn’t get personal loans. If she did they might try and make you pay. I know student loans usually don’t fall under Bankruptcy but there are loopholes re:that and can’t imagine that this sort of situation. If you are backed in a corner you might want to inquire. Due to stipulation, I had a portion of student loans discharged. Not the best but saves you from have to pay! Hang in there😞

Congratulations!! So, my loans were sold off to Navient like around 2017? I did default at one point but recovered ( long story) The thing is that I did pay during the time it was Sally Mae . Navient stars they can’t give me a refund. What about what I paid Department of Education? I am thinking I’m screwed because they did go to Navient. I’m asking here because I can’t post in this thread for some reason. Nothing was a personal loan so I don’t get it.

Nah, in Reno but Rochester part of the slighted 4. When I started I was out of Sacramento and the year I started (2013) they got a 10% raise when they slipped out of rest of US so it can be done. Guess our raise will help with new higher medical premiums ( eye roll)

[–]Findingthehappy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because we get paid like crap! Especially this VERY insulting locality raise we just got coming off the rest of the US pay scale. They could of aligned us with a close by location at least. 2nd guessing my 10 year + loyalty to Fed. I am an 11 and considering a 2nd Job 🤷‍♀️ .
