One Sat night my pal Clyde ( who's STILL there & just turned 90!!) said I could make a few $ helping the souvenir program vendor. Leading through it I asked How much ( figuring $3-5 tops) Vendor: $10..you get 25 for selling 50 & 50c each over that.. Stunned..& almost expecting to get punched out I stood & easily sold 50 one night & 70+ on another, JFC:0 Show was Camelot starring Robert Goulet..& my best/ most memorable transaction was three as a couple got one for nice little Suzie too!

UK poster here. Sorry, don't understand. If you were laid off, how were you on "their" unemployment???? How are they in any way accountable???

[@yt650]

I live in Pennsylvania, I pay just under 10% of my employees wages into the unemployment compensation fund each month. If the employee was only with me for a few months let’s say, they would still be entitled for compensation and it did not affect what I had to pay to the state. The fund is made up from every worker in Pennsylvania and doesn’t Penalize the employer if the person goes on unemployment. If I had no employees, I would not pay anything to the state for unemployment compensation. You only pay if you have an employee. Depending on where you’re from it doesn’t matter how long they are eligible for compensation.

[@silviac221]

@@yt650 Thanks for the explanation. Argentinean poster here and it doesn't work like this in my country either so I didn't understand. So the compensation fund is made up of deductions from workers' salaries? If that's so, it's quite unfair to expect someone to go off that fund quickly if they're still jobless. Here employers pay compensation (growing amount, depending on how long you worked there) if they fire you, but it's on them. And no compensation if you resign.

A dentist once commented on the amount of work I've had done. I told her it was because I had at various times in my life not gone to a dentist for years and years. When she asked why, I told her it was because I didn't have enough money to go. She seemed genuinely perplexed. She couldn't grasp the fact that many (many many many) Americans are actually poor. Another story: I was discussing my childhood with a colleague, and I mentioned that I had grown up in trailer parks and had never lived in an actual house. She looked at me and said with great conviction, "You did NOT grow up in trailer parks." The absolute cluelessness of upper-middle-class people is hilarious.

I was mandated to be a part of the high school youth group at the church I was attending. I explained to the Youth pastor that I could not afford the activities. He told me that Ethiopians are poor and that I was not. The first event that the youth group had planned was a trip to the zoo. I was expected to pay the $75 upfront to pay for the admission, train ride, and lunch. I calculated out the actual cost and it was $25. I asked about the extra $50, which was for those that cannot afford to go. I said, like me. No, because I was not Ethiopian. This was in Washington State. If I did not participate in the youth group, I could not be a Sunday School aide. I stopped going to that church.

I was working as an "assembler" for a superconductor lab, about a year ago. My Wife had just come off of worker's compensation for medical reasons and was fired illegally, when that expired. The transmission in my car also imploded, so my 30 to 40 minute commute to and from work became a 2 to 3 hour bus trip each way, on top of four 12 hour shifts per week. I had no choice but to switch to the night shift because the busses stopped running from 10:00 PM until 6:30 AM. During the time I was on the night shift, my Boss kept texting me and asking me when I was getting another car. He refused to pay me the $4.00 shift differential because the "agreement" was that I was only on night shift temporarily until I had a new car. He was basically expecting me to climb Mt.

One day, I (a skinny 23 year old kid) told him (a large and angry gangster) that he needed to be on time with the salaries, adding, "The staff have got bills to pay and kids to feed. Ten days' delay is big deal." He replied, "I'VE got bills to pay! I'VE got kids to feed!" He wasn't pleased when I mentioned his 3-finger gold ring with his initials spelled out in diamonds and that we were sitting in his Bentley Continental.

Politely mentioning a potential human resources problem, behind closed doors, not publicly is always a good idea. I'm sure the owner knew that if all the staff left he wouldn't earn the money he wanted to earn either. Warning the boss before all the staff leave without other people nearby is not a disloyal action.

My eldest son, 2 years-old at the time, had allergies and ADHD. The doctors at the hospital handed me a long list of foods that I was to feed him and avoid everything that wasn't on the list. It included duck, but no chicken, fish or red meat. I said to the doctor; are you going to pay for this, because my income won't stretch to duck. He instantly struck my son off the treatment register and told me to leave, citing unco-operative parent.

[@pirategirl1588]

That's a terrible thing for a doctor to do!!! I'm a cancer survivor (I was 14, when they found the tumor) and ended up with an autoimmune disorder. My allergies didn't start until I was 25. I was eating/drinking/using products I'd previously used/consumed all my life, yet everything I touched was giving me anaphylaxis! I had anaphylaxis 4 times in a 12 hour time frame and finally realized the 4 different things I'd come in contact with had the artificial dye "Yellow 5" in it. If you'll look at "Ingredients" labeling on food and product packages, they'll tell you whether or not there's artificial dyes in the product. They include: Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, Blue Lake 60, etc. "Arm and Hammer" makes a bodywash and a deodorant called "Essentials" that is gender neutral and dye free, paraben, and aluminum free. You can find them at Walmart, or look them up online. Also, specifically "Pantene Classic 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner" is a brand off my "Safety List" that my Dermatology Allergen Doctor gave me. I don't know if you have a dermatologist near you, but you could talk to them about getting your son a test done to find out his allergies. Another biggie to watch out for are products with a lot of preservatives, because they contain "formaldehyde," which is another common allergy. You can use any search engine to look up "preservatives in foods and products" which will give you a list, but anything that has "sodium" in front of it is a preservative and will convert to formaldehyde. The safest thing to do is to prepare meals from scratch, using fresh ingredients, in place of pre-made ones. (I.e. instead of buying a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, with the packaged, powdered cheese, buy macaroni noodles, grated cheese, and go from there!) You can make meals ahead of time and freeze them, if you're busy. I'm sure you've scoured through this already, but just to re-iterate, nuts (both tree and ground nuts) are common allergies, along with crustaceans (shell fish, like shrimp, crab, lobster) and mollusks (clams, oysters). An allergy that is unfortunately a guessing game is: nickel. Nickel is present in everything that grows out of the ground. Signs that your child is allergic to nickel/having reactions to one kind of vegetable/drink is if he gets an upset stomach, after eating/drinking something, or has a more obvious reaction, like his hands turning very red and burning, and/or he breaks out in hives. If he has a reaction, a quick/immediate response would be to give him dye free children's Benadryl, then call an ER and ask to speak to an allergen specialist, or call the Poison Control Center (which you can look up online) and tell them what your son consumed and what his reaction was; it could be anything ranging from an unusual red streak somwhere on his body, to hives, to an upset stomach, nosebleed, the "shakes," to a fever. Always err on the side of caution! If your son has any reaction to something talk to someone at the Poison Control Center, or try to find a worthwhile doctor! (I'd look for a Dermatology Center near you, because if they don't have an allergen specialist there they should be able to point you in the right direction!) It can seem extremely overwhelming at first, but you'll be surprised at how quickly you can adapt! Best of luck to you!!! ❤

[@pirategirl1588]

@@tardismole that's great to hear!!! Trying to figure out what's going on with a little one can be really difficult! It took 29 different doctors to determine that I had Fibromyalgia and the autoimmune disorder. My back "gave out" so I went to see a chiropractor; (doctor #21) he turned every way but loose, over a 4 hour time span, and said whatever was wrong with my system was musculoskeletal. The following day, my mom took me to a local ER, because I was having severe shooting pains in my back and kidneys. (My mom has kidney stones, which can be hereditary, and thought I'd developed those). I was in the ER for 6 hours; they did X-Rays and a CT scan and concluded that what I had was musculoskeletal related. SO...the following day I called my neuro-oncologist, whom I'd seen when I had the Germinoma (germ cell tumor cancer) at 14 and he told me to come to his office immediately. I got there a few hours later and he admitted me to his wing of the hospital, so they could start me on the steroid, Prednisone, to give me the contrast Gadolinium (which had previously given me anaphylaxis) during the MRI. My neuro-oncologist, Dr. Gururangan, was afraid the Germinoma (which I originally had in the center of my brain, down into the top of my spine) had come back, in my lower spine. Dr. G did a 3 hour MRI, more X-Rays, EKGs, and a lumbar puncture and didn't find anything. I saw several doctors on his team and #25 asked a colleague if he thought it could be Fibromyalgia, as the umbrella cause for all this, and that's when they started zeroing in on that! Glad to hear your son is well! The very best to you and your family!!! ❤

[@pirategirl1588]

In regards to difficult doctors... I had 6 and 1/2 weeks of radiation treatments. The first time I met my radiologist, at 14, he walked into the exam room, reading my chart, and without looking up he non-chalantly said, "Hmm...it appears you're going to die from this tumor." Thanks, man. Don't get me wrong, the man was brilliant; he couldn't talk to anyone on a normal level. I can't remember the number of times he said, "Let me see if I can put this into simpler terms, that you all can understand." The last time I saw him he was disappointed. He said, "Well...it looks like you're going to survive this cancer after all...I guess I have been wrong before." Some doctors can be very disconnected!

They act like dicks just because they can, every single one of them, and treat anyone not of their social circle like crap. Demand special treatment, check in very late, I could go on for days.

I've been fortunate that most of the truly wealthy people I've known weren't like this at all. One relationship in particular at uni was based on the fact that I didn't care that he was one of the wealthiest people from his country. We spent hours telling each other of the similarities and differences in our upbringing. There is a phoneyness that has long plagued certain societies, quite prevalent in the UK, where once prestigious/wealthy families are in fact almost poverty stricken and overcompensate by attempting to demean those beneath their fraudulent "social standings". I actually lived with 2 poor little rich girls at uni. I had no idea they had it so bad until one asked me to show her how to cook pasta and all she had to eat on it was some mayonnaise and ketchup. I asked our other roommate what was going on and she explained their financial situation to me - revealing that they fought each other like cats to get to the water I used to boil my broccoli. They were both nice, being poor here in the states, but I truly believe the older one would have "saved face" if thrown back into the society in which they grew up.
