Hi all! Just starting a randoms thread because I'm anxious and need to tell someone. DH was laid off the first week of December, and the jerks then opposed his unemployment claim. Unemployment always initially sides with the employer, so DH had to appeal, and his hearing started at 11. I'm so nervous! He didn't want me to go with him, but I helped him prep his arguments (the law is very clearly on his side). I really hope that they reverse and grant him unemployment - it's been tough making it for over 6 weeks without even an unemployment check!

Ugh daisy818 that sucks. How long are those hearings generally? Is there a decision made on the spot? I have everything crossed for you guys.
I'm at work with a numb mouth from a 8am crown appt at the dentist. Nothing like kicking off the week with an(expensive!!) dentist visit. I'm starving too but can't eat really still. I got iced coffee with sugar (usually I do milk only) bc I could manage the straw and needed some calories. My dentist is awesome but I still hate going soooooo much.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
wannabmama, I have no idea - it's apparently a pretty informal hearing in front of an ALJ, and I really wasn't sure what to tell him to expect. It's an out of state company, and our friends who are employers in the state say that it's crazy that they opposed his unemployment - the reason they used is so ridiculous, they'd never heard of someone doing it before. They laid off all the workers in our state (which was only 4) and decided to pull out of the market, so I don't know why they're so dead set on screwing him over. I mean, his old supervisor still calls him for help on some things! I'd have told him where he could shove it if it was me, but that's why I'd be terrible in sales

daisy818, I hope the hearing goes well and they side with him. Keep us updated.
wannabmama I hate the dentist so much I go every 6 months but I get so anxious about going it's not even funny.
I was so glad this morning the roads were in good condition and I go to work with no problems. I just don't feel like doing any work today. I want to go home and watch a movie or something. For the last week I cheated on the low carb diet, and now I'm back to it and I already miss carbs and sugar.

daisy818, sending positive thoughts from here for YH! That is super crappy and unfair. I know how much it sucks to be short money that you need and that you are owed.
MH is so sweet and it made me smile a little to myself this morning. He has changed over our bank accounts to Capital One because they make it easy to set up a billion different savings accounts for everything under the sun, and he made an account for the trip to Europe that I've been wanting. He really couldn't care less about traveling the world (yet -- I will convert him!), and I didn't think he really listened when I rambled on and on about all the things I want to do, but I guess he did
ohinvrtedworld, I love savings accounts with Capital One - I think I have 6 different ones? One for home repairs, one for empergencies, one for vacation, one for a future baby, etc. That's great that YH started one for a Europe trip!!
So sorry, daisy818 . I hope there is a favorable outcome.
I wish I were still on the weekend. We were mostly iced in, but I didn't object to just snuggling up with H all weekend.
Oh, ****** , I did that thing we talked about. Smashing success.
I felt a little weird love-titting this, since I have no idea what this is and my mind goes to inappropriate places. But glad whatever it was was a smashing success

daisy818, I hope the hearing ends up in his favor!
ohinvrtedworld, I love that story! I have a capital one savings account myself. I put like $25 out of every paycheck in it and then buy myself something nice when it gets to a reasonable amount.

I had a similar issue 2 1/2 years ago and I won my appeal. That was a hard time for us (unemployment on top of a couple other issues) so I can understand the stress related to this. Good luck!
ETA: decision was made by the end of my hearing (mine was over the phone though)

Glad they ruled in your favor, but I can understand the stress! The employer is appearing by phone, but since we live in the same city where the hearing occurs he was going in person. Hope we know something today!
Husband and I argued all weekend about THE DUMBEST THINGS. I feel like we wasted a perfectly good weekend picking on each other. Sigh.
Are we married to the same freaking person?! This was us all weekend. I looked at him at one point and was like what the fuck are we even arguing about now. I chalked it up to me being a royal B and PMS'ing. Then he laughed at me.

Yeah, we literally had an argument about controlling the radio in the car. It was so ridiculous.

notagoddess I don't know if my few days of cheating made things worse or what. I was hoping it would get rid of the cravings I had for some of carbs/sugar related items.
I'm searching on amazon for new gloves. Mine are ruined and I need something waterproof as well. This is what I am doing instead of work. Last week I was searching for benches for the closet. It can be frustrating because H & I have very different tastes.

That sounds like a lot of annoying BS daisy818 I hope it goes well!
peaseblossom55 I used to have problems breathing and would just cry the whole time at the dentist, so I understand the anxiety. I will say my new dentist has done so much for helping me get over the absolute terror.

MH's job switched from monthly paychecks to biweekly. Budgeting and paying bills was easier when it was monthly! I paid all of the bills at once and transferred the rest into savings. Now I have to log in and pay things multiple times. But he says most of his coworkers are happier with the new schedule.

wannabmama me too. I've stayed with the same dentist for 10+ years that's in my home town 45 minutes away just because they are good with dealing with my anxiety. I've wanted to switch to a more convenient dentist for years but I feel too comfortable with them.

daisy818, I hope everything works out for you H (and you!). I can imagine how stressful that must be.
I just need some sleep. MH and I went to a concert last night and didn't get home until midnight. My stupid alarm goes off at 4:30am because it hates me (and also because I need to get up and go to work). But on the plus side we're having homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches at work today for a co-worker's birthday. I made chocolate cookies and brought in mint chocolate chip ice cream. We also have peanut butter cookies with chocolate ice cream and chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream. So I'll be chowing down on that later today.
