  how can i build up my breast milk?

  0 0 If you qualify for WIC, they can get you a super industrial breast pump for free, and they'll probably throw in a lactation consultation appointment or 2 for free. It's totally possible that the pump you're using just isn't strong enough. B answered in Pregnancy & Newborn 3 months ago Answer, comment & read 6 more answers »

  Should I explain or expose my mental illness to potential employers upon interview?

  2 0 You're not obligated to tell them about your mental illness, and they're not allowed to ask. HOWEVER,mental illness is covered by the Americans with disabilities act. This means that in order to be protected under the act, you need to tell their HR department about your disability, especially if you need accommodations (medical leave, time off for dr's appointments, etc). Most large employers have policies in place for medical leave (under the family and medical leave act), and all medical information should be kept private by your lovely human resources department. Another benefit of a larger employer is that they often have harassment policies, so if word of your mental illness gets out and you feel like people are discriminating, you can tell HR and everyone will have to go to "sensitivity training"... apparently it helps them avoid lawsuits. Unfortunately, mental illness often renders people unable to take these steps to protect themselves, so I'd urge keep on top of the meds and therapy and have a plan in place with your MHP + support persons should such need arise. If you think it's going to be a problem, I would encourage you to browse the National Alliance on Mental Illness website (nami.org). They're great. And I wouldn't worry about the GPA. Nobody cares. Just say you were busy and working and that you learned a lot. B answered in Job Hunting 4 months ago Answer, comment & read 9 more answers »

  Does anyone have a heath insurance that covers comprehensive mental health care?

  0 0 Some of the Lifewise plans have fairly comprehensive mental health coverage. I think the higher premium plans have more comprehensive coverage than the higher deductible plans https://www.lifewisewa.com/lwwa/groups/public/documents/xcpproject/healthplans.asp B answered in Mental Health/Addiction 7 months ago Answer, comment & read 3 more answers »

  Questions about new structures in residential lots.

  0 0 As far as I know, you need a permit for any structure larger than 100 sq feet. You can check to see if she has a permit here- http://web1.seattle.gov/DPD/permitstatus/ If she doesn't, she'll probably have to pay a big fine, stop work, and be pissed at you forever...

  How to handle harassment on the street/metro?

  4 0 For me, ignoring the catcalls makes it worse- they know I can hear them, they know I'm ignoring them, and they don't like it. Cat-callers and street harassers are usually doing it for the reaction they get from women: they want to make you feel embarrassed, uncomfortable, and ashamed. Or sometimes they're just trying to make you smile or laugh. Laugh at them. Snicker and say, "No fucking way". If they persist, say "this has been fun, but I really don't want to talk to you". Embarrass them. Cultivate a few good "leave me alone" lines. Remember that you're in public, you're on the bus, there are other people there, and you're probably going to be safe. Keep a decent distance between you and them, and if they try to touch you, a nice loud "don't touch me" will usually do the trick.
