Any tips or tricks that you've learned over the years that make your life (or work, relationship, etc.) helpful? I am currently working as a housekeeper in a clinic/hospital setting and it's all new to me and was observing other housekeepers who've been doing it for years and how fast and...

It's been a year now since I moved. I still feel resentment and anger towards those who were close to me. Sometimes I want to just be forgotten - like I never existed. That sounds horrible, I know, but it's exactly how I feel at times. We all have our good, bad and ugly days, but since I...

Since moving, I got a job - perfect for those with social anxiety - I work the 2nd shift at a hospital so an hour upon arriving at work, most people are gone for the day. That means I get to do my work with little to no interruptions! Yay. The pay is decent. Another Yay. It's close to the house...

Someone I know (from an in-law) seems to be a walking, talking lucky duck. He can go buy a scratcher ticket for a dollar and come out with 5 dollars. He goes to the casino with 100. dollars and goes home with 1200.00. You get the picture. Anyhow, I am curious to see how you guys feel about...

My sister is an AmeriCorps volunteer (paid volunteer) and her contract ends in June. She's looking for work but she's looking for a 'career building' position. I get that-I understand. Her husband says not to apply for any job that is not 'career building.' We were at a grocery store the other...

So, if any of you are familiar with my situation, getting a job is a big...a HUGE step!! To recap: I was a live-in nanny for my brother and SIL for about 8 years and then my brother divorced and remarried. I stayed with SIL and the kids to help her. Well, things got so messed up that I ended up...

I recently got offered some part-time work and part of it involves using Quickbooks. They are willing to "be patient" with me as I learn it. My question is this: Any way to import e-receipts from gmail to Quickbooks (for expenses a business) without having to go through 400+ emails and writing...

Well, sort of. I hit a patch of ice/snow and my car spun out of control until I pulled the emergency brake and then my brakes failed (need new solenoid) and THAT was scary!! But I avoided hitting anyone or cars, so that was a good outcome. It happened about a week after arriving here in WA...

1) had to move due to 'family matters' 2) moved in with sister in another state 3) her hubby plays video games, smokes weed and drinks all the time 4) they want me to get on food stamps to add to theirs 5) I cried filling the dog's water bowl thinking, "I hope the (ex)SIL is feeding the...

I'm crushed, my heart hurts. I won't go into details - but &*%$ hit the fan about some things and when was all said and done, they want me out Brother and SIL). I love my nephew and niece to pieces (I've watched them since birth). All I can say is that things happen for a reason and perhaps...

My family has been acting strange around me. OK....I get that I've been living here for quite a few years, but I have saved them money by watching the kids and cooking, cleaning, etc., I clean up after myself, I don't eat much...so a couple months back my sister asked our dad if he could help...

Red flag 1 for me: My sister contacted dad. He was trying to get a new car and found evidence of credit fraud - the weird and bad of that (other than obvious) is that it was pointing to MY address. He lives in another state.... Red flag 2: I applied for a part-time job and they had to run a...

Hi, I've been having issues lately regarding my grandmother (93 yrs old) and she tends to cut me down while praising other family members, like "you used to be so pretty and smart, I wonder what happened" Ok, I understand she's elderly and I love her dearly but it's been spilling into other...

I made a big faux pas. My (ex)SIL said she was taking the kids to the airshow but did not invite me...she usually does but has not been speaking to me nor inviting me anywhere...anyhow, I got excited cuz it's time out of the house and these 4 walls and time with my nephew and niece to watch...

Or feeling like it - or rather, my social anxiety is over thinking the whole d**n thing. So here's the story: I have posted a lot about my SIL (sister in law) here in the past....a yin/yang kinda thing with her I guess....Anyhow, we were visiting her father over the summer and he takes me aside...

Hi everyone! Here's what happened; it's not 'life shattering' and we've all been there however, with my lovely anxiety and panic attacks I am worrying obsessively and feel like a complete fool and embarrassed. My brother and his wife invited me to my niece's birthday party - not many people...

An old friend of mine is in town for BlackHat. I got a text from him saying he'd like to see me before leaving town. He told me late night would be better and the hotel he's at. Here's the deal: he's getting married in a month!! We have been friends for about 10 years & I know what he wants...

My SIL recently told me she manipulates people & situations and enjoys it. I live with her (part of the deal when she and my brother divorced & I watch the kids) anyhow, she's called me an 'omega' female while she is the 'alpha' female. She does lessons with school children about anti-bullying...

When I am highly agitated, anxious or experiencing full out panic attack, sometimes I find just crying it out seems to help some. I mean, sure I could reach for medicine but sometimes a good ole cry-fest helps. Has anyone else have this experience? Or does something different, like going for...

I thought I would try getting a few side jobs to get a little extra money generated...nothing special, just admin work, computer work, coding...that sort of thing. Anyhow, I want to put it out there that I've had trouble with a couple websites called FREELANCER.com and THUMBTACK.com Each time...
