Called in sick as morning sickness all throughout the night. So I had no sleep and I was still being sick. I got a call back 15 minutes later from a supervisor asking why I called in sick and whether or not I can return to work same day. Advised I would see how I felt but if I was unable to I would definately inform them. 
I could go back to work as I never got sleep and I was very sick still. 

Returned to work the next day…

I had a back to work meeting where I was told if I was to continue to be sick they will force me to go on maternity leave. Bare in mind I’m 15 weeks. They also said that it’s dangerous having morning sickness this far on in my pregnancy and is a cause for concern. 
I was asked what treatment I was on and was I doing everything to stop it. I did advise that I was having ingestetion tablets and Ginger tea. Supervisor then asked me if I was smoking still. I gave up the day before but I refused to answer. Overall I was made out to be a worse person in the world. Worse than cancer I wish I was exaggerating. 
Supervisor cont meeting. Telling me this and that and that from a company point of view I was not doing everything I should be doing to prevent my morning sickness as I was still smoking. Please let me point out I don’t smoke any more. That smoking causes and exaggerate morning sickness personallly and medically I thought it was based on HCG levels growing. 

Overall for 1 day sickness I have to get my GP to write a report on me for the day I was sick. Is this right?? 

I spoke to ACAS they have informed me that they’re breaking the law. They are breaching sex discrimination act. Employment act and the data protection act as they do jot require all this information from myself. I mean my work doesn’t need all this info. 

I made a sea salt scrub last night using sea salt and jojoba oil. After my shower I felt extremely tired and relaxed. I first showered as I normally would and then I turned the water off and proceeded to scrub my body with the salt mixture. It felt really good however, I was not expected to go to sleep afterwards. Is that normal?? I can’t tell you the last time I’ve felt so relaxed. Is this cause for alarm, pls advise as I will be doing it again shortly.

Sorry morning sickness is NOT caused by smoking does take a genius to work that one out lol

I haven’t heard my alarm clock for about a week. I sleep through three and can’t seem to wake up on time. Today, I was very late for work. I am working full time and studying for graduate course final exams. Once I’m up, I’m fine, but I don’t even hear my three alarms. I use three of them: 1) A clock that beeps 2) Radio that is a mixture of very loud static and Spanish speaking 3) Cell phone that beeps.

I need a better…louder…solution. Any ideas? Do you know of an alarm that is impossible to sleep through. In college, people used to draw all over me on School nights (I wasn’t even drunk) so that I would wake up with indellible marker beards and earings. I have a hard time falling asleep, but once I’m asleep…I’m out cold.

Please!! Give me your ideas or any products I might be able to buy that are louder than my current alarm. Is there such a thing as a bed that dumps you on the floor? Is there a system that dumps water (or dead fish or milk…) on you? Help!!

going off all hours of the night.. Last night from 3am to about 7am, every time it was shut off it would go off 3 or 4 mins later.. I cant sleep and im going nuts. What should I do about this?

I am planning to get a home security system and after weighing on my option between a monitored system from a DIY security system, I’ve decided to go for a DIY. I thought it would be more economical for me to do it than having some company do it for me and make me pay for every sweat on their foreheads. My neighborhood is also very peaceful and has not seen crime done for quite some time now. We also live in the better part of the city. I also installed security measures like adding more locks on my doors and windows, installing light sensors to almost every corner in my home, more outdoor light fixtures, more smoke and CO2 detectors, door jambs, even timers…but I do not sleep soundly. I wake up at night worried that somebody might be breaking in. My wife told me that a security system might do the job.

I made a little research and now I am ready to go buy. I saw several ads but I really do not need expensive systems. I looked on amazon, then saw what seems to be good buys on ebay. They offer packages with several door/window alarms, motion sensors, sirens, main panel with auto dialer, etc. and they are wireless. I am refraining a bit from buying now coz I am not sure if these systems are reliable and the sellers trustworthy.

Has anyone bought home security systems from ebay? How are they? The feedback from the buyers are mostly good, but Im still holding back. Any help?

I hit the "nesting" stage a couple days ago and yesterday morning had a false alarm with my water breaking. Then after leaving the hospital my contractions started up again and were about 5 min apart for quite awhile and then they just stopped. I didn’t sleep well and have been nauseous and vomiting all day. I also had "the bloody show" this morning. I’m dilated to 3 centimeters and the doctor thinks I’ll have the baby by the end of the weekend. I’m not so sure though because the contractions have stopped. Any ideas on how long it will be until I have my son? Any suggestions on stopping the nausea? Crackers do not help and I am throwing up water at this point too.
BTW I am 38 weeks

Okay its 10:13pm right now i have school tomorrow gotta get up at 6:30 im like dead everyday when i get up and i sleep in and my alarm clock scares me. But it just broke IDK HOW! Any ideas what to do???? NOBODYS HOME RIGHT NOW IM 13. I have a DS that alarm never wakes me up and I DONT HAVE A CELL PLEASE HELP?

Is this normal puppy behavior? I understand all puppies need time to adjust and adapt, but, my husband and I got a Yorkie puppy (9 weeks old) about five days ago, and the puppy wants to be held ALL the time. She whines and yelps every time someone leaves the room even if there are still other people in the room with her. It isn’t enough for her to be next to someone or playing by our feet, she wants to be in our laps or held or else she whines, and yelps nonstop. It is the same thing at bed time.
I’ve tried the warm water bottle and alarm clock trick. We want her to learn to sleep in a crate at night, but she’s so loud that she keeps the entire house awake for hours until we get exhausted and let her sleep in our bed so she can sleep on us (again, because she wants to be held). Is this normal puppy behavior that will get better? Or does our puppy have more extreme separation anxiety than usual? Is it normal for a puppy to want to be held ALL the time and yelp if it is not?
I have a 5 year old miniature Schnauzer we’ve had since he was a puppy, and he didn’t insist on being held all the time so I’m not sure what to think.
Thanks, in advance!
*Dogmatic-I do not pick her up every time she whines. I tried ignoring the yelping and whining yesterday and she continued for over four hours. My kids were walking around with their fingers in their ears and I had a headache trying to break her of this. After hours, I end up picking her up out of desperation for her to stop for some peace. She’s a little extreme. Am I supposed to ignore her for over a day? Even in a crate with door closed she’s very, very loud.

I have ALWAYS been a very heavy sleeper & I adjusted 2 alram clocks. It’s very annoying, it becomes exspensive replacing them. I have tried several different types & they ALL work for a short period of time & then I adjust & I sleep straight through, I don’t wake up hit snooze & fall back out just straight sleep through it. Currently I have 2 clocks with 3 alrams and multiple functions including the ability to play cd’s, I can set all 3 alarms & all 5 on my phone ( all of these alrams at 1 point woke me up just fine)& sleep though them my H often comes home to find me completly out with all the alarms going full blast. Is there an alarm clock for me or am I doomed to replace them every few mths?

I’m 28 and a stay at home mother of a 5 month old. My husband works 3rd shift (nights) We have an alarm and 2 dogs that bark if the wind blows! But I’m so scared to be alone. It’s not just being scared if someone will break in. I’m scared when it storms or if there would be a fire. I can’t sleep half the nights because I’m worried something will happen. It seems to be getting worse everyday! What can I do to get over this? I know I’m just being paranoid but it’s really getting to me. My husband has been working nights for years but this just started becoming an issue for me since the baby was born and I quit my job.

I used to beable to wake up easily feeling energized and ready to exercise and workout before I went to work. Now a days I will throw my alarm clock across the room, and I wake up 30 minutes before I go to work. And now a days when I get home, Im too tired to do anything at all. Dont know what to do, and I go to bed with plenty of time to sleep, so its not a need for sleep. What can I do?
Im not depressed, anymore anyhow, but from when I wake up to when I go to sleep I feel grogy all day. There are no energy supplements that work for me anymore, and coffee gives me wicked gas, already tried that one.

-If you are choking on an ice cube, don’t panic, simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto, the blockage will be almost instantly removed.
-Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away
-A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will
prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep
after you hit the snooze button
-Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a
hammer and you will forget all about the toothache
-If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of
laxatives. Then you will be afraid to cough
-For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use an egg timer

Hope I made you laugh, but plz dont try at home. Why wouldnt they be jokes… they are in the joke section

We have 2 dogs. 1 is white, the other black. The white dog lives in the house, we make the boon dog sleep outside tied to a tree. Our slave tried to rob the boon dog’s house. We think the black dog might have been in on it, but we cant prove it. There is only 1 way in and no door, yet the stupid bastards still tried to break in……thats how we know it was the 2 blacks……our dog n slave. Should we get a security system for our dog’s house……even though he’s black, i like him better than our slave…… Now that I think of it, the slave is probably to lazy to try and break in, so it may have actually been all the black dog’s fault……….what do you thinkkk I should do?

Daily Thought: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING….. BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

I asked the questions a few days ago about how to get over my husband "cheating" with an old cougar of a hood-rat that was after him. My husband and I separated last Christmas Eve (domestic violence while I was pregnant, plus he gave me an std while I was pregnant) and had been working on trying to get back together since April of this year. He would come over, be with me and the babies (2 years old and 8 months) and we would live as a family for a good week or two before he would act a fool again with the staying out late, hanging with friends, drunkeness and arguing. We’d separate and then about a week or two later we’d be back together.

The last time he was staying here was in September (last month). We got into another argument (over some stupid stuff but he chose to leave here and move in with one of his older (60 years old) male friends. During this time he met a 49 year old woman at the house (she was friends with his friend). She pursued him and then he started receiving homemade meals and wake-up calls (he works the night shift and she was calling him to make sure he gets up in time for work—that is what an alarm clock does) from her. She would take meals to his job (something I rarely do), too. Also, once when he couldn’t get me on the phone, he called her for a pack of smokes…and she took them to him. He has family and friends that would have brought them to him.

Well, he said that they haven’t had sex (he says that he wouldn’t dare sleep with an old woman). He says that she likes him and that he would continue to receive meals from her if she brought them to him…even if he is with me (especially if he is broke and can’t eat out or if I don’t cook). I told him that that was adultery and he said that I can’t get mad if someone treats him better than I do.

Anyway, he has been staying back at home with me and the kids since last Saturday. During this time he has "acted" like he wants to be here and like he doesn’t want to divorce (we had spoke of divorcing). We have had sex, too. He is off on vacation, but he still leaves at least twice to "hang out with friends" for about 3 hours at a time. He hasn’t eaten a meal since last night and when I offered him something to eat he turned it down. I think he has been over her house.

He wasted some cologne in his car a long time ago, but ever time he comes home it is "loud as if he fell in it." I don’t know if that is to cover up a scent or what. It was rather loud last night when he came in.

DO you think I should just move on and divorce because it seems to me like he is still with her or someone else.

Sorry so long.
Yeah I still care about him even though we had a domestic violence in the picture (yeah I must be stupid just to say this). He promised me that he would keep his hands to himself and that we would do better.

I feel so stupid for posting this. The answer is obvious. He is a user and is using me up. I had to go bankruptcy because he wouldn’t help me.

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. IF YOU CAN’T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU’VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU’LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN’T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN’T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

My husband is not coming home, he is sat at his friends house, which is just across the road. I texted and told him more than an hour ago, to come home, i want to go to sleep and cant unless he does, we recently had a break in, and i feel very scared now. We dont have a burglar alarm, if we did i would be rest assured.
Anyway i told him to come and he hasnt more than an hour ago, so i texted again, he said he was eating, so i waited 30 minutes and rang but he didnt reply.
So i texted him come home, i got pissed now, so i said i will turn up the lock so he cant get in, if he doesnt come now, he said he will break the window if i do that.
So i told him that i didnt turn the lock up, and waited another 10 minutes, all the time ringing him, he has not answered once.
I was in tears thinking wtf.

what the hell? he’s been out since 9am and it has just gone midnight.

no he doesnt drink
should i lock up the door???
he knows i am genuinely scared
