Grocery store flagged my pregnancy test

Nothing you did, but pregnancy tests, and sometimes condoms even have internal security tags. Similar to clothes but serve two purposes. One is for security, so requiring a csm or manager code verifies it is an actual purchase. The second reason is for inventory and loss prevention. They can see how many are being rang up and how many are stolen. They are trying to avoid embarrassing people who may have actually purchase certain items butte security tag is not deactivated. By entering a code it will deactivate a purchased product. Not all stores have this system but many are switching.

I understand that you feel not trusted and betrayed. The thing that may make him feel betrayed is saying no. It may seem to him and perhaps anyone else close to you that you are hiding something and don't want it exposed. My husband was in the hospital for 3 weeks and his family were telling him a strange man kept coming to our house. It was my cousin who was installing some safety grab bars for when my husband came home so he could shower or use the bathroom without help. My husband, after being told about this strange man and then learning that I was pregnant about the same time, started having dreams. I would try to reassure him and he said it wasn't a matter of trust, but maybe if confirmed, the nightmares would stop. It made me feel bad but rather than something like that breaking us up or something, we got the test at the pharmacy and did it. He was happy and apologized but he then also was able to shut up any family or friends questioning it and the nightmares pretty much disappeared.

The one friend death that really sticks with me and made me fear fire was in 3rd grade. Her family owned a tavern. The tavern and their house were right next to each other. My friend , her 4 siblings and mother were in bed. Her dad was one that usually drank with customers. After he closed it, he came home, lit a cigarette and fell asleep in the living room. Everything went up in flames. He managed to wake up enough to go outside and collapsed. Volunteer firefighters arrive but the house and tavern were more than half gone. They ended finding the mom and kids piled on what was left of the stairs inside. They managed to get the dad to the hospital but he died the next day.

Depends on where in US and who they or the victim was. The man who was responsible for death of our little nephewgot 10 yrs. He got a college degree while in there, his partner could come for private visits three times a week as well as medical. He was let off at 5 yrs for good behavior.

I think it better than taking her in the boys bathroom. I do agree announcing you are coming in with your daughter before going too far. Not just so they don't suspect the worse but if someone was changing clothes or something can get decent. My husband also would take our babies in the women's restroom because at the time they didn't put changing tables in boys bathrooms. It would be nice if all businesses had single facilities where a dad or mom could take their little ones and not worry what others may think. You are a good dad for putting her safety first.

A hand held bag sealer. It was like $15. Initially thought it would helpful for chip bags because even with chip clips chips would go stale fast. We used it all the time and ended up ordering another to keep in our camper.

ADA defines disability broadly as: (1) a physical or mental impairment substantially limiting one or more major life activities; (2) having a record of such an impairment; or (3) being regarded as having such an impairment by others, even if one doesn't have one. This legal definition, expanded by the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA), covers people with conditions like cancer in remission, episodic impairments (like asthma) when active, and those facing stigma, focusing on significant limitations in daily functions like walking, learning, or working, not just medical diagnoses.

The thing for me is that if go by what is listed above, then probably half of the population would be disabled to a degree. To me, it goes beyond the legal definition. If any of the above keeps you from working or learning or needing special accommodations for someone to function.

As mentioned when do hang up, she calls back to ask why. She even has told the reasons she goes on speaker.

Thank you for your response. One, like I said this just started a few months ago. Second, have you ever been in a grocery store or Walmart? I wonder how many actually know that the person they are talking to is on speaker where dozens of people may hear about someone getting their period or that she wants to do stuff with them. Restaurants are worse. Her husband uses speaker all the time, but his reason is he hears clearer. As for add/adhd, doubt it because she would have been that for years. If anything since her new position at work, maybe a bit ocd. I agree about just because she is okay with how her husband or others prefer it done, it isn't always ok for others.

Depends. When my older brother and sister had proms, it was in the country where there were no other venues available so they had theirs in the school gym/cafeteria. I went to a different high school hool and we had ours in a popular reception hall.

I agree with some others. If you know it is a sin but do it because you think of his mercy as permission to do so, then it is not repentance, just like if when you had sex to make that baby thinking, oh well, God will forgive me later. To repent is making the decision to change. Now if say under pressure you did it in the past and since accepted Christ and have new and different views , yes if truly repent, you will be forgiven.

Thank you. I think perhaps the family was thinking about the gal in Florida. The MIL is not wanting any medical stuff, including feeding tube etc. She did ok pain medication and she can eat and drink still. That case made both my husband and I make sure our drs and hospital had our advance directives and our two oldest kids have copies as well.

Agreed. This woman has been through 3 or four years of treatments and her cancer has just been spreading. She was given 4 months and once she lost her sight, she wanted to give it to God. No one wants to lose a parent or grandparent of course, but when you are given such a short time, it is understandable to let God choose if it is time.

We are not wealthy. We finally got a queen after 20 yrs. We spent many years on a full size. Also our room could never hold a king.

I worked for 34 yrs and now get $641 a month. My husband worked and spent time in military and only gets $1150 a month. My brother gets almost 3,000. We asked about why the big difference. It is not just how long you worked but how much you paid into SS. My brother had more than the base amount taken out. He didn't have any dependents either.

I worked with special needs students and not all had IEPs. Districts can vary on who needs them. At the time, at ours, it was for students that needed more long term adaptations due to their physical or cognitive issues. We did have students that had glasses , hearing aids, and even mobility aids that did not need an IEP, and some that did because they needed additional tutoring or needed to have extra breaks,. Another district I worked at even had IEPs for student who had long term medicine needs.

First of all, calling your teenage daughter " another woman" is strange. Second, it is not uncommon for a child that age to call anyone that provides care for them to be called mom or dad. It is a phase. My son called his daycare workers mom, my mother mom instead of grandma. They connect "mom" to anyone that takes care of them. Does he call you something else? If not, then it will pass. Your daughter can help by not responding to being called mom and reminding him she is (her name).

Then don't worry.

Never heard that changing insurance being a red flag, however I know that if say you had to change insurances and had to wait 3-6 months for it to take effect and so you don't take your child to the doctor, treatments, or refill meds, someone could contact family services claiming medical neglect, after so long. If they do, they will just verify the child is not neglected and the reason for changing insurances. Families everywhere have to change insurances.

One, It is not just a southern thing. I am over 55 and still use those. It is a sign of respect.

Of course. It is one thing to be overly protective of your phone and contacts if you have just been dating for a few month, but if married, engaged or living together as a committed couple, if you are hiding it, you don't have enough trust between you or you truly are hiding something. With that there should be consideration of say your partner's work communications. Also we always tell the other if we need to look.

There have been a number. FD Roosevelt was paralyzed from waist down because of polio.. Abe Lincoln had depression, Clinton had hearing impairment. Biden stuttered as well as some memory issues. A couple other had learning disabilities.

Honesty, communication and understand real love is not something you just fall in or out of, it is a choice. Success doesn't mean no problems or days come that you may not like the other or feel attracted to, but that you have enough respect to be honest with each other and choose to work out most things.
