One of my family members is on a mission and he messaged me this morning on Facebook and told me that he is coming home tomorrow. I guess he didn’t tell his mission president the full truth about some thing that he did before his mission and now his mission present is sending him home for six weeks. I came home from my mission early, after about a year. It was a horrible experience. I was so judged by people, and felt extreme shame from my family, friends, ward members, and people from my mission. I was home on a medical release, but I also just did not want to be there anymore. Consequently, I fell into a really dark depression, and it took years to come out of it. I stepped away from the church very quickly after coming home from my mission. Anyway, I spoke with this family member’s mom today and she was so sad and upset. I am so worried about him coming home because of his family and where he lives in Utah county. This family member told me not to tell anybody, but that she would send a message out to the whole family. I waited all day for her to say something because he’s literally coming home tomorrow and I feel we should be there (no friends just family) at the airport to support him. He has every intention of going back and told me he felt peace about coming home. She never texted the family and let them know what’s happening. So I’m just feeling very frustrated and worried; he’s dealt with depression before and has been in therapy. And with my experience with my family, I don’t know what to do. Any advice or suggestions?

AITAH? Ok so this is a long story and starts awhile back. I (23F) and my long term boyfriend (24M) live together and I would say are in a pretty serious long-term relationship. To give a bit of background: We met in our junior year of high school and started dating the summer before our senior year. We became long distance once we went off to college (I ended our relationship in our 2nd year of college because I felt like we were growing apart and he never really wanted to talk because he just “didn’t like phone calls” even though we were 6-7 hours away from each other (and I missed him SO much). That one phone call in college really made me realize the reality of things which came to be during our 2nd year of college. We were on our weekly phone call when he frustratingly said something along the lines of “we’ll what do you want me to say I just went to class today that’s it” as if he couldn’t elaborate on what he learned in class etc. from this point on I started noticing each and every detail that made me cringe. So fast forward and we were in our senior year of college and we actually ended up getting back together … I would probably credit the COVID -19 pandemic for this. During this time/right after this time of getting back together, my boyfriend’s oldest brother started dating a new girl a couple of years younger than him. So at this point in my life, I was incredibly busy with my graduate school program. I was studying to get a masters in teaching with the hopes of being a high school biology teacher! Due to this, I was unavailable for many outings. One such outing was a day in which my boyfriend went out with his oldest brother, his new girlfriend, and some other friends of my boyfriends. What bothered me from this (many things rubbed me the wrong way after this btw) was that well for 1. my boyfriend is normally very resistant (outright refuses) to be vulnerable with me/anyone else and open up about his feelings, yet when he JUST met his brothers girlfriend he spilled everything to her no questions asked about how he was feeling. This made me feel like shit, obviously since any time I would ask him about his feelings he would refuse to talk about it. I really don’t care if it’s because he was “drunk” because that’s bullshit, he’s been drunk before and refused still to open up to me about how he feels. 2. As if this wasn’t enough, the first time that I “finally” got to meet her (🙄) my boyfriend made me the butt of the joke purposefully in front of her not just once but twice. This is something that he has NEVER done before, so it makes me wonder why now??? Why in front of her?? To make you look like a funny guy?? For what reason?? We were having a conversation in which I was saying something relevant and he looks at me then looks at her and says “anyway” in the most condensing voice possible. Basically as if to say to me “why are you speaking? What you are saying is not even relevant?” I know some of you might say I’m over reacting, but I have known my boyfriend for about 8 years now and he has NEVER made me the butt of the joke like that before. He had never spoken to me in that tone and made me feel that way. It was a new feeling and it felt utterly WRONG. He literally made fun of me and what I was saying to try to seem cool and funny in front of her like what the actual fuck? To add onto this, she goes out of her way to try to hang out with my boyfriend. I don’t mind him being friends with whoever he wants, but come on be real for a moment. She’s one of her brothers girlfriends, like know your place. Y’all know Biden’s “debt relief” that is no longer a thing(unfortunately)? This girl asked my boyfriend out on a coffee date (even though she lives in a different county than him and it’s a DRIVE) to fill out Biden’s debt relief form (when it was a thing). This angered me because the form took me no less than 5 minutes to fill out and honestly her asking my bf to a coffee date to figure out the form together felt like such a FAKE facade to just get to spend time alone together. Most recently, it was just my boyfriend’s birthday. I reached out to his family members (both brothers and his mom) and his close friends to organize a night out. Since she is still dating his oldest brother, I directly included her in the group message for the night out. What bothers me is that, just recently and apparently she has texted my boyfriend about doing a Disney Day for he upcoming birthday. What really bothers me about this is that she STAYS texting my boyfriend,,, even though I directly texted her when I was planning my boyfriend’s birthday. Its SOOOOO easy to do a group chat with the three of us, but she specifically chose not to. That says a SHIT ton. Honestly, I don’t know what to do. I’m not sure if I’m overreacting (I very well could be, but at the same time I feel justified).
On a last note, my boyfriend has 2 older brothers and I have never felt compelled to ask either of them on a coffee date because there is no need to do so. Additionally, I just think it’s disrespectful to 1. make me a joke like that and 2. knowing that I directly messaged you why would you not directly message me? (Regarding the birthday “plans”)

• Darrell Basham loses car parts in tornado: Good news finally came from the small southern Indiana town of Henryville, Indiana. The massive tornado that took direct aim on the downtown area today spared the life of longtime ARCA competitor Darrell Basham and his family. However, much of what Basham didn't lose in a devastating garage/shop fire in November of 2010, was lost today in downtown Henryville. "My old building, which was my main big shop - it's gone, with everything in it. And we had a bunch of stuff in it that we use to go racing. We walked through earlier. There were headers over here, a piece of racecar over there. Lost all my parts. Maybe someone's trying to tell me something; I just don't know. This could be the end of the line for Darrell Basham Racing; we just don't know. We're okay though, but what a mess. "We had a bunch of motor parts; it's all gone. General parts we use all the time - headers, rims. A-frames, trailing arms. Destroyed everything I had down there - it's all gone. Fortunately I had my cars at the house shop, which the tornado missed. (ARCARacing.com) (03-02-12)

• DnF Enterprises owner Mario Gosselin arrested: A race car driver and owner of the Lake Wales-based DnF Enterprises [that fielded a car for Fain Skinner in the 2012 Mobil 1 200 at Daytona] was among those arrested last week during a sex sting, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said. Mario Gosselin, 40, of Lake Wales, was arrested Saturday and charged with soliciting prostitution, deputies said. The Sheriff's Office conducted a sex sting and said Gosselin was among more than 40 people who responded to online advertisements for sex. Once the people met with undercover detectives, they were arrested and booked into the Polk County Jail. Gosselin told deputies he was a self-employed mechanic. Gosselin bonded out of the Polk County Jail on $500 bail, according to jail records. (TheLedger.com) (03-14-12)

• Trucks to Road America in 2013? Montreal also hoping to be in the mix: NASCAR is expected to announce soon that the Camping World Truck Series will return to road-course racing in the 2013 season and that is great news for Canada’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. A source close to Camping World loop told the Toronto Sun that negotiations are all but complete to add a race at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis., for next season. That same source also said NASCAR would most certainly add a second road course so that it would make economic sense for the truck teams. “Teams would have to construct purpose built trucks for Road America so to keep those costs in line a second race just makes sense.” A truck race at CTMS–formerly Mosport–would be a prefect fit for the track’s new owners. Ron Fellows–and his partners Alan Boughton and Carlo Fidani–have been actively pursuing a top NASCAR touring series race. “I was on the phone June 1 (the day the group announced it had purchased the legendary Ontario track) with NASCAR officials telling them we wanted a race,” Fellows said in a phone interview from Toronto. “And we are continuing to seek a race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.” It will be at least mid to late summer before NASCAR bosses release their 2013 schedules but it is now a good bet that there will be two truck races turning left and right next season. Fellows said that the addition of Montreal–a major NASCAR partner–as the name sponsor at CTMS will boost the track chances at getting the nod for a race.(TorontoSun.com)(3-11-2012)

Venting here because I feel so disrespected.
About a month ago, I made this post about how my roommate's boyfriend has been staying the night every single night. Last week, I texted her (she's always busy so this was the easiest form of communication) and asked if she'd be willing to pay more for utilities and rent since her boyfriend is over every night (I suggested a 60/40 split).
Now, let me preface this by saying my roommate is the only one on the lease, per our landlord's preference since she makes more money than I do. However, I've been paying half of everything, I handle all of our utility payments, and I was the one who found this house for us in the first place (she took over my previous roommate's room in my last house).
Earlier today, I asked her for an update on us splitting bills differently. She didn't answer this question and instead asked me what I planned to do when our lease is up in 2 months. I asked her if she plans to renew since her name is on the lease. She then proceeded to tell me that she plans to renew alone and use my room as storage or an office space. She didn't ask me if I'd be okay with moving out because she'd rather live alone, she just straight up told me she'll be converting my room into an office.
I understand wanting to live alone, but to just tell me she's converting my room into an office?? It feels like I'm essentially being kicked out and she's using her being on the lease as a power move. We also live in the most densely populated county in our state and rent is extremely competitive and expensive here. I told her I would need to start looking for places now and with the market moving very quickly, I'll need to secure a good place as soon as I can. She told me she'll "need to know a little bit ahead of time so she can plan". It feels like she's kicking me out, but it needs to be on convenient terms for her. I don't feel like I was treated as an equal in this conversation or like I had any voice.
tl;dr: asked my roommate to contribute more to rent/utilities for having her boyfriend over every night, and now I'm being kicked out upon the end of our lease.

This is being discussed in another post but thought this email I got had a lot of information that people might be interested in so decided to post it as a stand alone for those that might not be following that thread:
"After a record setting budget increase from the Board of Education in 2022, Forsyth County property owners are receiving notice this week of record assessment increases of just over 24% (on average). Absent action from the Board of Education, homeowners will be facing another year of significant increases in their tax bill.
While the County has a floating homestead that will offset the increases on the bulk of their portion of the taxes, the School system does not which could result in another record year over year tax increase for Forsyth homeowners. (Note: Voters will have the opportunity to vote on a floating homestead exemption for schools in 2024.)
The County Commissioners and Board of Education members both have the option to “roll back” the millage rate to offset any increase in taxes. The County will still have tax increases on bond taxes and all properties without a homestead exemption without a rollback, but the bulk of the increase for most home owners will be on the School M&O portion of their tax bill. By rolling back the millage to a lower rate, the higher property values are multiplied by a lower millage rate, resulting in lower taxes.
School Superintendent Jeff Bearden has called for a 1 mil rollback in his proposed budget, which would still result in higher taxes for most home owners. Board of Education Member Mike Valdes stated today “ I am personally advocating for a 2-mil rollback” which would eliminate the tax increase for many homeowners.
What can you do if you are concerned about the tax increase?

Contact your School Board member and ask for a full millage rate rollback:

Nassau County released their tourism commercial today.
They asked people to come by to check out their beaches.
Yet, most of the beaches are private.
Explain this…… which beach is public accessible? (outside of Jones, Long and Lito Beaches)
Atlantic Beach is NOT public accessible. (A resident once said, “go to Long Beach and walk over to Atlantic Beach.”)

…and in a way that invariably makes them feel better about themselves, and makes them look “strong” and “good”.
About 7 months ago I escaped from my emotionally abusive family of origin, where I’d been trapped in a bed essentially with migraines everyday for 13 years. Then I caught a break, found a doctor who took my insurance for IV ketamine therapy, it worked, resolved the issue, and I got away from them. I moved across the country. It was a miracle.
Now, the medication has worn off, the pain has returned, but there’s a healthcare crisis here (in many places, I know) and I can’t find a provider that takes my insurance who is also taking new patients where I live now, in Oregon. When you are fleeing domestic violence, even the emotional kind, and you get a window to go, you just go.
But now I’m disabled again and had to take a leave of absence from my job because of the pain. My old doctor will likely treat me again, but that means I have to go back home.
They will hold my job and my housing for me here. It will be here when I come back. So I’ll drop my insurance here, apply for it back home, and when it gets approved, go, get the treatment, and then drop that insurance, apply for insurance back here in Oregon, and then come back.
I think it’s the fastest way to bring my pain from a daily 7–8 sometimes worse, down to a 2 everyday, such that I can work, which I hadn’t been able to do in 13 years.
So get this…
people are judging me about needing to go stay with my family of origin to get treatment.
Like they know what it’s like to fall into the 20% of people who are 💯 disabled from this. We have lost our lives. I am in pain. But they manage to project themselves on to this, and imagine how “strong” they’d be and how they’d just “figure it out”. It’s being framed as immaturity and weakness. It’s wild.
I have no one, but I think I’m going to take a break from the “friend” who made me feel this way today. I’m in high pain all the time almost, except for 1-2 hours in the morning. Smdh.
TL;DR people suck
ETA: I’d leave the county to get the treatment also. I’m considering that as well.

I filed for a DVRO today. The temp was granted.
I can't get to the person's county/state until tomorrow to get it to the sheriff for service, but it's just now been posted as issued on the court's website.
The restrained party has an attorney of record-- will she get alerted that that's filed? (I was never asked for her information on the DVRO paperwork.)
Trying to sort out when this person will reasonably know they've got a restraining order so I can batten down the hatches!
This is specific to California (location of the petitioner and respondent's AOR.)

I was sued by a law firm for money they claimed I owed them. This was two years ago. The judge sided with the attorney based on the contract and the evidence I had with me was not allowed. I could not afford an attorney as this one took all of my savings so I was pro se. I immediately filed an appeal and requested a jury trial. The appeal was granted but the firm did not pursue things. Fast forward to today, just two months shy of two years and I recieved an email that they had efiled to move forward with the suit. I moved to a different county three months ago and they filed in my old county. Do I need to notify the court and ask that it be dismissed or transferred?

I’m still a student but I’m three weeks out from taking my basic registry. One of the teaching hospitals in out county has the fancy expensive trauma dummies than that can make bleed, breath in different rates and volumes ect. Well they were at our class today and we were running some trauma scenarios like how it would be in “the real world” vs. what we’ve been practicing for the NREMT. Anyways it’s a group of three so me and two other students. The scenario is that we’re dispatched to a MCC pt wasn’t wearing a helmet and that’s all dispatch knows. When we get up to the “pt” it’s agonally breathing they told us the rate after words it was I think they said 8 a min. But even without fully taking the respiratory rate I knew that we needed to assist the pt with ventilation. One of the other people in my group got on c-spine and we did a jaw thrust to open the airway and tried to insert a OPA but they made it gag so I did a NPA (I now know that that’s a bad idea for possible head trauma. I wasn’t thinking of the contradictions)once we had an adjunct in I said that we should assist with a bvm but the other provider said that a nonrebreather would be fine cause he’s still technically breathing. There was so much happening with this dummy that I was still trying to get my head on straight not to mention my instructor, who I look up to, was standing basically directly behind me and I wanted him to know I’m doing a good job. So I didn’t fully think to like stand my ground I guess on the bvm being the best option for the pt. But after the fact they told us that we should have done a bvm originally like I said we should.
So I guess my question is when you are on scene with other providers how do you advocate for your pt and get your point across that this is best for the pt without stopping and explaining yourself and just having the other providers trust you.
Obviously I’m only going to be a basic so I don’t know as much as a medic and such and these guys were trained at the same level as me but even when it comes to people with higher training. Is it wrong or not my place if a pt is breathing like that and say a cc medic says to do a nonrebreather but the pt would benifit wayyyy more from a bvm? I hope this makes sense what I’m asking but I’ll clarify anything y’all have questions about.

Just wanted to say for anyone trying to get 10mg I placed the order yesterday and picked up today 5/30/23 in Saratoga county ny at cvs. Just wanted to shine a little hope on anyone struggling to find their medicine.

I had a seizure Friday night which resulted in me cracking my two top front teeth basically in half. I was quoted $5600 for 2 root canals and two crowns today at Albany County Dental Associates. I am a Medicaid recipient. Any help?! There is nerve damage and they hurt. Badly.
Any help is really appreciated. It happened at my new job on my first day. :(

I live in a relatively low COL town in Indiana. Median household income was ~$53,000 in the 2021 ACS.
I graduated college in 2020 (after almost 20 years as a retail manager) with a BS in GIS. I applied for a GIS Technician job at a mid-sized utility, which would have been the second position in a two-man GIS department. I got hired at $52,000 in May 2020.
The week before I started, the previous GIS coordinator put in his notice. We overlapped for a week, and then I was the only person in the department (and, therefore, the GIS coordinator). I've had to learn almost everything on my own.
I've gotten two modest cost of living adjustments, and I now make $57,000. (Accounting for inflation, that's equal to slightly less than $50,000 in May 2020 dollars.)
I have the title of GIS Coordinator, and they never hired anybody else for the second position. I am solely responsible for our ArcGIS Enterprise deployment (patches, troubleshooting, etc.), and solely responsible for all of our mapping. I've expanded our use of webmapping and made some pretty slick tools for both our internal teams and some major investors. For ten months or so, after two project managers left, I was completely responsible for securing all of our permits. They eventually hired one, so now I'm only responsible for some of our permits. (I'm still responsible for the layouts for all of them, though.)
I now have over two years of experience--and probably quite a bit more experience than I would have had if I had just started as a GIS technician. I obviously don't know as much as a GIS coordinator with ten years of experience, though.
I asked my boss (with whom I have a great relationship) about six months ago if we could talk about my compensation. He told me I "definitely deserve a raise." But the president above him vetoed it, because he doesn't think I know as much about the systems administration side as my predecessor did (which, while true, doesn't seem like it's a fair standard to hold me to).
Today, I see a job on Indeed for our direct competitor, who is hiring a GIS analyst and looking for somebody with a year of experience and an associates degree. It pays 65-85k.
A higher COL suburb has a mapping tech job posted for 58-88k, and is looking for somebody with a high school diploma and a year of related experience. Another suburb has a part time GIS tech position posted for 29-41/hour, and the requirements are an associates and a year of experience. My county is hiring a GIS analyst for 52-65k, and wants a bachelor's degree (but no experience is required). The State of Illinois was hiring a GIS trainee last week that pays more than I make.
I'm pretty sure I'm being underpaid, but I want to be sure I'm not just cherry-picking a handful of high paying jobs that support my position. Am I? What should I be asking for (or looking for in a new job)?

An undocumented individual has been working for an unnamed MLM company for a couple of months now. Today, they received a Substitute W-9 form from their bank in which they are requesting a SSN or TIN number. How should I advise this individual to proceed in this situation? They are undocumented. If more details are needed please let me know, looking for opinions on how to handle the situation. I checked the company’s employment agreement, and one of the requirements was being a legal resident of the US, which this individual is not. I am not sure what was written by this individual when they filled out the application, and they are not either. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. County: US. State: Alabama. Disclaimer: I am someone that the individual reached out to as an advocate and I am not connected to the situation and also have limited information.
Edit: the employment agreement they signed also states that they are an independent contractor.
Edit 2: the individual does not know what was filled into the application as someone from the MLM did it on their behalf

Please review my post history if you are interested in the backstory for why I am seeking guidance for the following. After getting in touch with the County Bar Association today, it appears I may not have any recourse available to me, to stay in my apartment. :(
I am obviously hurt and upset by this news. I was asked to get in touch with the City Code Enforcement, but was told they do not interfere in Tenant/Landlord disputes. However, this inspired me to look into any other potential Code Violations my landlord may be guilty of, that I may report him for.
About a year ago he had the home inspected for reappraisal. He asked everyone to "hide" their hotplates for the inspection. (obviously guilty of something) What I could find online regarding the property is it is a Single Family Home, within a R-8400 Zone. According to the property report there are 5 Bedrooms, and 5.5 Baths. In reality there are 6 rooms, which have been converted into private suites. Each has it's own private bathroom and there is a shared bathroom, with toilet and sink in the shared common area. (6.5 Baths) The bathroom in my space has a toilet and shower, but I use the sink in my "kitchenette" for handwashing.
Each tenant has their own lease with the landlord. From what I could find online, I believe it would fall under the category of a Rooming House.
How can I determine if my landlord has the proper license to run his rental this way? Or is there any other evident code he may be in violation of? I even attempted to look into the building permit records for this address, but I think there is a glitch on the webpage and I wouldn't even know what I was looking for anyway.
Please Help!

Please review my post history if you are interested in the backstory for why I am seeking guidance for the following. After getting in touch with the County Bar Association today, it appears I may not have any recourse available to me, to stay in my apartment. :(
I am obviously hurt and upset by this news. I was asked to get in touch with the City Code Enforcement, but was told they do not interfere in Tenant/Landlord disputes. However, this inspired me to look into any other potential Code Violations my landlord may be guilty of, that I may report him for.
About a year ago he had the home inspected for reappraisal. He asked everyone to "hide" their hotplates for the inspection. (obviously guilty of something) What I could find online regarding the property is it is a Single Family Home, within a R-8400 Zone. According to the property report there are 5 Bedrooms, and 5.5 Baths. In reality there are 6 rooms, which have been converted into private suites. Each has it's own private bathroom and there is a shared bathroom, with toilet and sink in the shared common area. (6.5 Baths) The bathroom in my space has a toilet and shower, but I use the sink in my "kitchenette" for handwashing.
Each tenant has their own lease with the landlord. From what I could find online, I believe it would fall under the category of a Rooming House.
How can I determine if my landlord has the proper license to run his rental this way? Or is there any other evident code he may be in violation of? I even attempted to look into the building permit records for this address, but I think there is a glitch on the webpage and I wouldn't even know what I was looking for anyway.
