When I was in college we called this pipe sickness. The cure was to throw your pipes off a bridge, and take a break for at least a month or two.

How come every time I opt out, that never gets recorded and then I get $ deducted from my account? I’ve tried reporting it a few times and it gets reversed, but it’s getting kind of tiresome to opt out and then get the “you went over” email.

I initially was enthused about this program, and greatly reduced my energy use overall. But now I’m finding it impossible to go lower. Due to the targets being built off past 2-4 weeks usage, there no way for me to “win” anymore, unless I throw the main breaker (which I’ve done, and my kids were NOT happy about the melted ice cream).

I had to wait years to get into a DBT support group and get a therapist through Stanford do my insurance would cover it. All other DBT therapists in my area aren’t covered by my insurance (which is really good insurance). How can this problem of insurance not recognizing DBT as a covered therapy be fixed? Or is it just that DBT therapists don’t take my insurance, how can we fix that?

I have always had a very shallow chin, and no clear jawline. This feature is present on both sides of my family. We all look like our face just melts into our neck. The only time I seemed to have a jawline was when I was very very thin, BMI of 17. Now I’m older and heavier. I’m not obese but my lack of a chin makes my face look so so fat. What is the proper course of corrective action besides weight loss(working on it, but as I’ve aged it’s become a lot harder!)

Neck/Chin lift? Liposuction? Chin implant?

I teach continuation high, and am always looking to tell my students about alternate career paths, especially for the ones that can’t sit at a desk but are determined and motivated.

Did you start this right after high school? Was there any classes or career training at a community college or career training center? Did you join a Union right away? How long did you spend as an apprentice? Have you worked for the same company all along? Are there parts of the country that are better for this position than others? Finally, do you think this is a job that you’ll do until retirement and do you plan to retire at 63/65?
