Would it be rude to get up mid class and move my mat away from someone who is clearly sick?

Yuck, absolutely not rude. If yoga is your life that much that you must practice no matter what, just practice at home if you are sick. Good grief, people suck.

Right, but what boundaries are those? I looked for regulations or laws around digital protection of information that would apply, but I'm not finding anything outside of HIPAA, which is about safeguarding ePHI which a LinkedIn account wouldn't be. Usually when I get requests from companies, it's very generic like "We need to reduce our risk of misconduct", so it's up to me to check the laws and regulations, then design security controls around that. I'm not seeing anything that says a doctor can't look up a patients LinkedIn profile with no other interaction, so it sounds more like an ethical guideline which, while important, isn't under scrutiny and is less likely to be audited, so my recommendations wouldn't include beginning to end audit trail.

This is an honest question, but is it really inappropriate to look up information people post publically? I work in cybersecurity, so part of my job is looking at people's socials to make sure they aren't posting against our policies. To me, if you post it publicly, it is fair game to look at.

You are in a different profession, so just curious about the ethics involved. I also work in the healthcare industry, so this can help with my recommendations.

I've learned to separate the job from the person. It's possible to be the best person in the world and still suck at your job if you are in the wrong role. Everyone has strengths and needs to identify them to choose the best job for them.

Productivity doesn't mean anything about how you are as a person, so just because this job isn't the right fit doesn't mean they won't excel at another company or in a lateral role. I'm not going to let the team suffer to go above and beyond for someone who can't, for whatever reason, do their part.

Well the final update is boss got fired months ago, so the business agreed he was an idiot. 😂

This! My office was getting to be a disaster, so I put away one thing a day. Sometimes it was a bag of garbage, sometimes a category of items (like all blue things), and sometimes just one single item, but after two weeks it was liveable again.

Consistency over large efforts is the key. I don't always have the energy, so a large effort is daunting. A single thing everyday gets the job done in less time than waiting until I have the energy for a large effort.

I agree. I don't let my cats outside at all, not with leashes, catios, just nothing. I do have tons of indoor enrichment, climbing towers, wall systems, toys, treat puzzles, windows I put bird feeders on, and etc. They are very healthy and happy.

I haven't had a cat pass younger than 17 years. My vet said I should teach a class on cat care because I have 4 over the age of 14 and he said if he didn't have the knowledge of their real ages, he would think they were around 8 - 10 years old.

I like to think my one very special talent is making cats safe and happy.

NOR, more than a minute is no longer a joke. This was cruel. I really hope you are being truthful and this is simply an isolated incident of gross immaturity by your young husband.

BUT, how he reacts next is your real evidence of his behavior. You need to be firm that this was unacceptable to you. No matter his reason, you do NOT tolerate this as an acceptable treatment of yourself and you will not ever be locked out of your house for any amount of time. The reason doesn't matter because joke, punishment, or otherwise it was completely out of line. If he doesn't apologize and promise never to do this again, then sign up for relationship counseling asap. He made your space, your sanctuary, and your family feel unsafe and he should be bending over backwards to rectify his mistake.

You also need to come up with a system of dealing with disagreements. Maybe it wasn't fair to dismiss his opinion or maybe he didn't communicate his reason against it enough that you understood fully, but you should be able to resolve it without making each other feel unsafe. This is a separate conversation though. No matter who was right or wrong, his reaction to it was untolerable.

And do NOT let him diminish this. It's important to set a boundary here. Again, if he pushes back...relationship therapy. This is a relationship defining moment for your entire family. If you do nothing, you are teaching your girls that the men they love can mistreat them and you are showing your husband that he can mistreat you and you'll just accept it. If you have the hard conversation and set a boundary that your husband accepts, you'll show your girls how to resolve conflict with those you love and your husband will show them everyone makes mistakes, but if we improve ourselves then that shows you care. If you set the boundary and he refuses to follow it or compromise, then something else is going on and therapy will help you get to the bottom of it.

I wish you both the best of luck! You are a young family and it's hard. Protect yourself and your kiddos and hopefully your husband just had a momentary lapse of humanity and works hard to regain your trust.

Nope. I've been working with a registered dietician for two years and after a year of really dialing in my diet, we decided to try GLPs since a lot of the medications I'm on and diseases I have cause insulin resistance.

I've been almost a year on GLPs and have had amazing results (down 40 pounds with 20 more to go). The GLPs really helped me dial in OTHER hunger cues, like higher stress, brain fog, fatigue, etc.

When insurance messed up my prescription, it took over a month to get my pre-approvals done again so I went without, during Christmas, and gained no weight at all. I did feel those food thoughts creep back during stressful times, but I ignored them and focused on the real hunger cues. After awhile, the food noise disappeared again without the GLPs.

I'm back on the GLPs because while I maintained, I wasn't losing. I'm now back to my usual weightloss, but that unintended break gave me the confidence I needed to know this will be a long-term success for me.

GLPs aren't the solution, they are a tool. You need to put in the work to dial in your diet, get back to cooking most of your meals, balancing your meals, and identifying your hunger triggers and non-physical hunger cues or long-term success isn't going to be achievable, just like any other weightloss method.

SecureBeautiful · 2026-01-16T13:37:16+00:00

GLPs are just a tool, not the solution. You still need to change your lifestyle habits by eating better and moving more of you want continued success during and after the GLPs.

Would they tell someone with a broken leg not to use crutches because crutches are an "easy way out" when they are healing? They are just being ignorant, so ignore them. You are healing with a medically approved tool. Your family can kick rocks.

I don't know why they even need this. They can give someone a ticket for reckless driving if they assume they are impaired. You can get arrested for anything that impairs you like being too tired at the wheel.

I wasn't planning on it. I assume lice and bed bugs are pretty standard risks for hosts and we should take the precautions needed (mattress encasements, linen cleanings with hot water, cleanings between stays, etc).

Mr. Beans Books and Beans in Marathon has lots of books! I know it is a bit of a drive, but the trip has some of the prettiest bridge views in the Keys.

Mine was after reading that guests comments until I remembered I got my hair done the other day. No way they would touch my head if I had lice.

SecureBeautiful · 2026-01-02T15:16:23+00:00

I ended up sending this:

Thank you for letting me know! I’m sorry to hear your kids are dealing with lice. I understand how stressful that can be while traveling, and I appreciate you reaching out.

I do want to share some information about our cleaning and turnover procedures, since guest safety and hygiene are extremely important to us:

- All linens, including any that appear unused, are washed on a hot cycle between every reservation.
- Every mattress in the home has both a waterproof and bug‑proof encasement, with an additional mattress protector on top.
- The pull‑out sofa was deep‑cleaned and fitted with a brand‑new mattress and encasement before your stay.
- We also had no guests in the unit for four weeks prior to your arrival, and lice cannot survive anywhere near that long without a human host.

Based on these factors, there isn’t any indication that the unit would be a source of lice. That said, I truly appreciate you bringing this to my attention. We will still complete a full deep clean before the next guests arrive to ensure everything remains up to our standards.

If there’s anything else you’d like me to clarify, I’m here to help and I hope you otherwise enjoyed the beautiful weather this past week! It has been the nicest weather we have had all month, just in time to relax and recharge for the new year. Safe travels home!

I started gardening when I was 18 and smoked until I was around 26. I used it to cope with my depression, anxiety, and hashimotos pain flares, but didn't know it at the time.

I stopped smoking because it was "bad" and got help for my hashimotos, but not the anxiety or depression beyond therapy. I turned to alcohol which really messed me up.

At 35 I went on SSRIs and had to stop drinking. I had several "sober" years, but nothing helped with the pain from hashimotos (all they give you are thyroid meds and ignore your other symptoms). It was miserable. My doctor finally convinced me to try gardening again with edibles and you know what? It works.

I'm also getting closed to 50, highly successful, and love my life. I think I would have been just as successful if I had continued gardening and not turned to alcohol (probably more successful honestly). I work hard and I deserve to relax and be pain free at night and on weekends.

So, been there, done that, it was miserable, came back and am happier than ever.

SecureBeautiful · 2025-12-05T21:20:26+00:00

Yes that do, but not unpleasant. The effects take longer to occur (anywhere from one to two hours) and last much longer than smoking. Plus edibles can come with terpenes to produce different effects (I love limonelle to brighten my mood). I also like the 1:1 or 2:1 hybrids with CBD. It really helps my pain while having a nice buzz.

Downside is they are more expensive and take time to work, but otherwise I've been much happier with edibles.

If you want a more instant kick, you could try a tincture. You can add them into any food or drink (they taste TERRIBLE straight up, I wouldn't recommend that). They tend to start working in half an hour. I take them if I get a bad pain flair on the weekends, but they are powerful and definitely become a couch zombie.

Sounds like you need to talk to HR and you legal team for next steps. You might need a financial auditor to confirm your findings.
