I work at Joann Fabric & Craft Store in California as a part time employee. I just came home after going to work and discovering that I was removed from the schedule today, I did not get any form of notice that I was taken off the work schedule. Is this legal? This has happened to me twice in the last 3 months. The first I actually clocked in and was told to clock out because I was taken of the schedule, it was a wednesday and the last day I had worked was that monday (closing shift) and at that time my name was still on the schedule. I have never recieved an apology for my wasted time and gas, all I hear is you just need to call in every day and see if your working. Do I really need to call into to work to see if I working on a day that I was already scheduled for? Is this my responsibility as an employee? In my oppinion and the oppinions of those around me it is the responsibility of your employer to notify of any schedule changes. Am I wrong? Or am I just being wronged? Thank you for your help.

For close to 2 months now I've had this rabbit (Remi) I found that someone in my area just let loose. Just a few days ago I found another one, I'm sure they both came from the same place. When Remi first saw this new rabbit (I'm calling whitey for now until we come up with a name) he acted very aggressively. They are both in my bedroom because we can't really put them anywhere else at the moment. We took both cages outside and put them on the lawn next to each other for a few hours. when we brought them in we let Remi get out and at first he was biting at the cage Whitey was in, I flicked water on him when or before he would start biting the cage. Soon after having water flicked at him he started dancing and running around the cage, and then laying by the cage on his side and rolling on his back. This other rabbit Whitey is also a male and very submissive. What I want to know is how will I know when it is a good time to them both out and start interacting with each other? Would Remi be ready now to play with the other rabbit given his behavior (dancing, laying/rolling around the new rabbits cage)

I just really thought about everything today that's been going with my body. For the last 5-6 weeks. First thing that really sprouted was headaches (severe headaches mostly, some mild), some dizzy spells, joint pain. I knit and spin so I get some pain in both hands and wrists on occasion, I grind my teeth, hurt my knee and my jaw a few years ago from a fall. Never really experienced bad persistent pain in any of these areas, the last few weeks I've noticed increased pain in my jaw, knee, wrists and hands and it lasts all day if not longer. I have perhaps been more moody recently as well. My breasts feel heavier, dense, sore. and both have just started itching all over. There is no redness, bumps, rash or anything on either breast, the skin isn't dry. I have been salivating more than usual, alot more that usual (it's kind of embarrassing even if my boyfriend doesn't mind). I just started to feel this fluttering sort of a feeling in my lower abdomen, it doesn't hurt at all in fact it tickles. I'm feeling it more often now, it lasts anywhere from 10 seconds to about a minute and if I lay my hand over my belly I feel it. It almost feels like someone is tapping their fingers on the inside of my tummy. If I turn my torso I get this sharp pain in the left side of my abdomen under my belly button which is where I am feeling the fluttering. I am TTC but I just got a period 3 weeks ago, my last 4-5 periods have not been what I would call normal. They have been light - medium flow one day cramping and very short 2-4 days, when I'm used to very heavy, painful, 5 days very regular every month the same. My last period was about 10 days early. Any help is much appreciated, I really don't know what to think. thanks

I just bought a brand new Singer Knitting Machine. I used it just fine to make 2 scarves and while making the third my machine started binding up. Now the handle won't turn at all, and the hooks pop up when the machine is turned over. When I bought it and was getting ready to try it out a woman I know came into the shop with her 2 boys, the older boy immediatly went to the machine and began cranking the handle real fast and hard. I didn't say anything to him or his mother, I really wish I had but speaking up is very difficult for me because I think what ever I say will come out wrong and sound mean. Anyway I don't know if the machine is just a cheap peice of crap or the kid messed it up by being to hard on it. I know that it is a toy, but regardless of whether or not it's a toy it should not have broken after just a few uses. I'm trying to decide whether or not I should exchange it for a new one or just get my money back and look for a better brand. If I should get another brand what works best in your oppinion. Has anyone else had this problem with their Singer Knitting Machine?

- I am an avid knitter and I teach as well, I just wanted something I could use up my novelty yarn on that is quick and easy. I fell last week and I was odered not to knit by the doctor because I hurt both wrists and my left arm (I am left hand dominant), so I really need something to do - and I want to knit.

I'm making a baby blanket with Caron Simply Soft in white. It's an acrylic yarn. What I want to know is can I tea stain this, and how. I'm not looking to get any particular color, just something other than white. Tan would be nice or even a light brown, anything in between. And the color doesn't have to be perfect throughout. Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Today I was knitting with my local group, and one of the ladies was talking about this knitting/crochet "battle" thats similair to Sock Wars only instead of socks you knit or crochet hats. She mentioned the name but I forgot it already. I would really love to participate in one these and since I have never made any socks I thought doing the hats would alot of fun, or anything else. So if anyone knows of anything - hats, scarves, whatever I'd love to know. Thanks in advance. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/knittypals

This question is for those who have had an ultrasound of the breast. I was told by a doctor I saw about 4 months ago that I should get an ultrasound done on breast, because of a lump I have. I don't have any insurance and I don't think I qualify for any of that other stuff, so I want to know about how much it would cost so I could plan to pay for it myself. Any help is much appreciated, thank you.

I've had the lump for about 10 months or so, there have been no changes in it at all. Normally I develope small lumps but they go away on their own in a matter of days/weeks.

I have to get blood taken in a few weeks and I found out I'm supposed to fast. My appointment is in the morning at like 9:30. My question is am I not supposedto eat anything just that morning or would I skip dinner or lunch/dinner the day before as well? This is the first time I have been asked to fast for a blood test, and I didn't think to ask my doctor. Any help is much apprecialted. Thanks.

My last period was very light and painful, lasted about 7 days with spotting pretty much. The one before that was also spotting but for only 3 days, without any cramping what~so~ever. Between both periods I was having alot of lower abdominal pain. I've also been getting painful headaches alot, pretty moody, craving milk, and the smell of bell papers has been making my stomach do cartwheels. I went to get a pregnancy test about a week and half ago, the lab tech. did the test twice and both came back negative. I've also noticed that my abdomin feels reall hard especially when I stand up. I have another appointment in 4 weeks for a pregnancy blood test.

I hope I gave enough detail, it's all I can think of at the moment. My doctor told me that if the blood test is negative then she thinks it's stress. But I don't think I've been stressed lately, not really any more than usual. So if you could please tell me what you think it might be, I'd be soo grateful. Thanks in advance!

Let me ask you so called pro-lifers, what do you think is worse.

A girl finds out shes pregnant and decides to abort.

Somebody has a child for money and abuses said child in more than one way.

Somebody has a baby and some time after birth kills it, purposely drowning, leaving in garbage can, or something worse.

I had an abortion, how quick are you to judge me without even knowing anything about me or why I did what I did. Who are you to pass such judgement on a girl? For all you know I did it for medical reasons, or mabye I was forced to, maybe I was abused and felt it was the only to protect this unborn child. Are you gonna judge me now? I want you people to think about a persons situation before you jump to conclusions and judge them unfairly.

About 4.5 years I got pregnant and had an abortion(didn't want to). For months I was very depressed and withdrawn from everyone. Suddenly I didn't feel anything, it was like everything I ever felt, wanted, and did with my life was just erased and I was nobody. Then I started feeling like myself again, and careing about things. Now I'm feeling depressed again, I am constantly feeling like I am going to cry out of the blue for no reason at all. I love kids, and all my siblings have kids of their own(they started right after my abortion). But everytime I hear somebody is going to have a baby I feel this uncontrolable hate towards them. I try not to hate all these people but I can't help it. I just sit there thinking why you and not me. Sometimes I even find myself hateing the children I see in the store or walking down the street. I'm just soo full of hate and I don't know why, I don't want to feel like this. Is it normal to feel like this, or could there be something wronge with me?

For almost 2 weeks now I've been having this pain in my abdomin, kind-of like menstrual cramps but only on the left side. The pain didn't start out as constantly being there, I just felt it the worst in the morning after getting up to pee. And then through out the day whenever I had to pee and after. The last 2-3 days the pain has constantly been there, only more intense before and after I pee. I also feel it really bad when I'm walking. Now I am not having trouble peeing and it doesn't burn or anything like that. It's just an unusual cramping. I have also been feeling very sick to my stomach, mostly in the mornings and have been craving milk (which I have always hated drinking). Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks in advance.

I have a rather large lump in my breast thats been there for about 5 months or better. I saw my doctor and she said it was just a cyst, and that it should go away on it's own. It's very painful and affects my sleep if I lay on my stomach or the even at times on my side. I have a another appiontment in september, I'm not sure if I should go see someone else. Is there a difference between cancerous and noncancerous lumps, and how can I tell?

I've been grinding my teeth alot more than usual in the last week or so, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to prevent this from happening or atleast make it less painful. I have tried useing a mouth gaurd for wrestleing that forms to your teeth, but it made it hard to fall asleep and it hurt my gums. I've been grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw for a real long time, but it's not constant it's off and on. I don't know why it happens, but it's starting to really hurt alot during the day and when I'm eating. So if anyone has a solution or anything I really appreciate it alot.

I'm writting a book and I need some help settling on a title as you see adove it will be on knitting. Here are the titles I've come up with as far. Tell me which one or ones you like and why, or if you think you think you got something better I'd love to hear. Thanks A-Bunch!

Please do not get all grossed out, I have not gotten a chance to see my doctor yet and have no one else to talk to about this. While on my period about 2 mo. ago I got what I first thought was a blood clot, I looked at it because it didn't feel normal. There were these of-white masses (best I can say) that were about the size of marbles covered in this thick heavy blood. Maybe an hour before this happened I experienced a cramping unlike anything I ever felt, so needless to say I got realy freaked out. My period that month wasn't normal, nor were the previous three periods before that. If anyone can give me any input as to what that may have been, and whether or not I should worry. My periods are normally heavy and very painful but ever month they get worse, and everyone I've talked to just tell me it's all part of being a woman. But I do not buy that.
