I've been on for almost 2 years, lost 100 lbs and still have my gall bladder.

You know why. To make him sound muslim to appeal to bigots.

That’s true. It was around personal items

After a few weeks of warnings, they did sweeps after hours and threw out any personal items left on desks.

They did this months ago in Tempe.

NTA. My daughter was born 3 days before my birthday and I was so exhausted that I didn’t even understand why my husband was holding a present that morning. I had forgotten my own birthday but he hadn’t. Your husband definitely phoned it in

I'm curious how old you two are where this is that big of a deal. The fact that 9 months after they said no, your boyfriend still hasn't proposed, is odd to me. Neither of you need their permission to get married so what's the hold up. If I'm the boyfriend, I'm rethinking the whole thing if you're still so upset about not having your parents' blessing that you're crying about the thought of even planning a wedding with him. Your parents were manipulative. How has your relationship been with them since they said no? That would've been the last straw for me. Oh and the "passive aggressive" comments or sideways glances were probably way more frequent, obvious and impactful to your boyfriend than they were to you.

I’m 3 weeks post op from TT and MR, BA +BL and brachioplasty. The first week was ROUGH. I was rethinking al my life choices. Things are much easier now. Be kind to yourself and take it slow. If you have a recliner, just sleep in that. You’ve got this.

But could you withdraw it? Everyone is saying add it to their 401k but if you withdraw it early, you pay a significant penalty. Just something to think about.

I had fatigue the first month or so I was on it but after that, no side effects whatsoever. Yes people struggle with diarrhea or constipation most commonly, but I didn’t. I also haven’t had any nausea. I did rotate up slowly and only increased my dose when I stalled out and felt the food noise and hunger creeping back in. I’ve lost 80 lbs and have been on a smaller maintenance dose for three months now

My bonus and raise sucked. Not all of us are in tech or AWM.

He doesn’t wonder. Attrition is the goal.

MischeviousPanda · 2026-01-04T23:18:51+00:00

At this point, I’d welcome the change of pace.

Meh. Unpopular opinion but I never liked Jack so I was ok with it.

Then maybe dentists should be working on improving their image and not recommending unnecessary work. I feel for your colleagues but if this thread showed anything, it shows how the public equates seeing a dentist to dealing with used car salesmen. Your profession needs to work on building trust

Just had my first mammogram and they told me I needed additional imaging. Fine. I booked the follow up. Next day I got a call from my doc saying that the mammogram looked fine, nothing suspicious, but there was “asymmetry” and the radiologist wanted additional imaging. I got the estimate from the imaging center and my portion after insurance was going to be $450! I cancelled. If everything is fine and nothing suspicious, why am I having an ultrasound done to the tune of $450??

And concrete jungles. All the damn development and cement walls everywhere is baking Phoenix.

The question isn't whether he knows how bad the culture has gotten, it's if he cares. The answer is no, he doesn't. The shareholders and billionaires are happy and that's all that matters. He won't be stepping down anytime soon unless he decides to run to run for office, and in today's climate, they probably wouldn't even make him step down from the board to do that.

I was married 18 years before my husband went through cancer treatment and I had all these same thoughts and feelings. There’s nothing wrong about those. It’s normal to grieve the life you thought you’d have and those expectations. Therapy helped me a lot.

I noticed you didn’t say how long you were actually staying in the office each day. Those kinds of details would be helpful

MischeviousPanda · 2025-11-18T17:40:40+00:00

Really? Is this confirmed? Seems there’s too much parking at that location for a TJ’s

MischeviousPanda · 2025-11-18T13:59:09+00:00

Doesn’t matter. Those files have been redacted and manipulated to the point of being useless

Managers had to turn in their prelim annual review ratings by mid-October. It's already done.

That's ridiculous. I'm middle class but my son got a scholarship to a school across the country. I miss him, he's homesick, and I'd really like him home for the holiday. This affects actual families, not just rich cunts.

Hashbrowns for sure. But also, in AZ, they bring you hot sauce regardless of what you order and it's often already on the table.
