“Plaintiff appears to be asking for special treatment in the litigation process because of her
disability, as she requests that the court allow her to continue her claims as a “reasonable accommodation.” However, a reasonable accommodation, as pointed out by defendant,
is a term of art that describes statutory obligations of an employer to a disabled employee, and is not relevant in the context of litigation and res judicata. The court cannot simply give plaintiff a free pass to ignore the rules and binding precedent because she was allowed to bring her claims separately
in the administrative process.”

Free pass? I suffered in silence for over 30 years, but when i ask for accommodations in the court system, i was accused of asking for a free pass????? special trearment????? This hurt. I only recently came out about my disability. Guess I nd to go back in my little whole

Are you using liquid food colourant, or powdered? I’d actually suggest something like dried powdered beetroot, since a powder will suspend in the oils, rather than separating like a liquid will.

I love this, “It’s like that sand monster in Star Wars that swallows you whole.” That’s a perfect description, because once you’re caught in the retail trap, it’s almost impossible to get out.

With totally random schedules that mean you can never make plans until a couple of days before the new week starts, the possibility that they will refuse requested time off (I asked for my vacation every week for 6 weeks before they finally gave it to me,) and being unable to budget because you never know how many hours they’re going to give you; you have absolutely no control over your own life. At least I don’t have to worry about making change, when I applied I told them I would absolutely NOT touch money that didn’t belong to me, and not to hire me if that was a requirement.

Yeah, the no eating thing is a big problem, but I kind of see their point. People are slobs when they don’t have to clean up after themselves, and there would be food crumbs and trash everywhere if they allowed folks to eat.

Thanks for the good wishes, too. I’ve read “Uninsured in America” and you’re right, it’s got a ton of great info in it.

Fibro definitely doesn’t make sense, but sometimes you can find a pattern. For example: I have migraines, and for years I just suffered with them because I couldn’t figure out what set them off. When I finally started keeping track, I realized that one of the things that ALWAYS caused one was sleeping more than 8 hours if I’d spent several days in a row not getting enough sleep. Now, if I’ve had a few days when I couldn’t sleep at least 6 hours, I’ll set my alarm to wake me up after 7.5 hours, stay up for a few hours,and take a nap. Sounds strange, but it works. I haven’t had one after a bout of sleep deprivation in ages.

Fibro is the same way. Triggers are hard to find, and don’t make any sense, but if you can find even one, it helps.
