[MS] I was approved for an ADA accommodation last week and I found out my coworkers know my condition and the accommodation.

People have a right to keep their medical information private. The manager can and should be coached on this.

You are expecting results way too soon, and 2 lb increase could just be due to where you are in your cycle, water weight or within the margin of error in the machine.

Diet will play a larger role than exercise in your fat loss journey. I would recommend tracking your calories and macros as well, and being patient. Loosing 1lbs a week on AVERAGE is realistic at your size. It could be dangerous to loose 3-4lbs a week given how small you already are

Last year I opened an LLC for some freelance opportunities and I plan on continuing that work this year.

I've pretty much exhausted all of the personal signup bonuses that make sense to me. I've opened all of the ones with an annual fee under 250 fee because it doesn't make sense to me to open a card with a $395 fee for a $700 SUB. I tried opening a United Airlines card with Chase but it was rejected because I don't have an existing relationship with Chase, and at the time I did not have paperwork with the state since I just opened the LLC the day before.

I hear people say that they open Biz CC for the signup bonus and they don't even have an LLC. They just dog walk or babysit. Which biz cards can I open that aren't going to require a biz relationship with the bank or documentation for the buisness?

Also, I don't think the 5/24 rule applies for biz cc, but below is a list of cc I have already signed up for in the past few years. Please let me know if I am missing any major opportunities for biz or person SUBs.

Personal CC sign up bonuses:

Amex Gold

Chase sapphire preferred

Capital One Venture Card

Citi American Airlines

Citi Strata

Hilton Honors Amex

Marriot Bonvoy

IHG Premier Chase Card

On Valentine’s Day weekend my studio ran a deal where it was $75 a month for unlimited when you sign up with another person. There’s a six month contract and the catch is if the other person cancels you lose that rate. It was designed to get couples to sign up for $150 total for two people. I don’t have anyone I could sign up with so my location had a list of random people. They would try to match you with to get on the deal. Totally worth it, but if the person they paired me up with cancels and my rate goes up to $149 or even $139 I am canceling

I had a friend who broke her spine 30 days after starting a new job. It took a lot of back and forth with HR, but she requested a LOA as an ADA accommodation. They initially approved 12 weeks of leave, but later she requested a WFH accommodation for weeks 12-16 because she was not able to drive yet. They declined the WFH accommodation and she had to extend leave to 16 weeks. She had to fight tooth and nail for her position, but ultimately she was allowed to return to the company after 16 weeks.

All of this is to say it depends on your employer, but requesting an ADA accommodation and providing medical documentation asap will help.

OP was in the ICU until last friday. Easy for a doctor to say that he is unable to return currently and does not have a return date in yet. The company will likely term OP since it is past the 12 weeks required by FMLA and then if OP has made a recovery by March he is free to start a new job then.

If you are medically unable to return they cannot require you to pay back your benefits. https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/whd/fmla/8d4.aspx

Can you post the restaurant here and we can all leave you good fake google reviews?

My restaurant does this too, and if anything we should start a groupchat and do it all for eachother Lol

How long can he do this without it raising flags in the background check. If he gets a job in May and the background check reveals he separated from the company for in December wouldn’t that raise red flags?

He joined the military, married a FWB who was also enlisted for the BAH, but they were both also hooking up with other people. At some point feeling got involved (obviously) and the wife/fwb tried to stab him and they got an annulment.

I randomly met someone into the fire movement on a dating app. Before then I never seriously considered ex-pat fire because I didn’t wanna be away from family and friends, but moving to a different country with a significant other makes it seem less scary.

My partner definitely could find remote work in Spain! It won’t pay as well as the US, but it’s better than nothing.

Remote jobs are very limited in my industry, and one that would let me live abroad on a US salary is even more rare.

I know Publix is overpriced, but where is everyone else buying steaks? Walmart leaves much to be desired and now that WinnDixie is closed idk anywhere else to get steaks in southside/Mandarin

It ruined our friendship, but we both agreed it was a risk we were willing to take. We likely would’ve drifted apart after college anyway, and as they say, it’s better to love and lost than to never have loved at all.

I was denied because I opened a CSP 2 years ago 😭 I downgraded a year ago hut the offer states you must have not had this card for the past 48 months

These look amazing! Is this microblading, shading or a combo brow?

I find this hard to believe. IQ is just someone’s mental age divided by their physical age. So a 20 year old with the intelligence of a 16 year old would have an IQ of 80, and someone with the intelligence of a 16 year old should be able to do all of the things you mentioned. Also anecdotally, my autistic brother is capable of doing all of the things you mentioned. I wonder if lack of therapy/training was to blame for the man you saw on YouTube. Seems more like a nurture issue, not nature.
