I ruptured my achilles tendon at the end of april and am about 17 weeks post op. I am going to therapy 3 times a week. I work about 30 to 40 hours at a restaurant and am constantly on my feet. I also go to the gym on my own about 4 times a week. I am unable to run, but pretty much recently able to walk at my normal pace. I know I am on my feet a lot so I might just be basically answering my own question….but I have this constant pain in my heel even when I wear my sneakers which have a heel lift in it. I have been walking on my own (no cast or boot) for about 5 weeks now and it has been going on for about 6 weeks. Anyone else ever have this problem??

im looking for a restaurant in manhattan that is semi formal very romantic setting but not too pricy, maybe a $150 limit on the bill. maybe share an appetizer and 2 glasses of wine each Italian would be nice but im open to suggestions please include the name of the pace and the address or cross streets. Thanks!!!

I am trying to look up a song titled “Follow Me” that I heard one night at a Culver’s restaurant in Lyons, Illinois. I have searched endlessly on the web and can not seem to find the exact match. Towards the end of it, the lyrics are; “Follow me, follow me (repeated several times)” with a fast pace rhythmed whistling type sound. Does anyone out there know which band, singer, and artists made that song?

I bought a container like this one (http://www.gkdi.com/images/images/gp_1.jpg) because I thought it would be a convenient way to serve soy sauce. I have since realized that this container does not store my soy sauce in an air-tight way. Is this a problem? Will my soy sauce spoil if I don’t use it at the pace one would find at a restaurant?

I’m a college-aged male, and I feel like I’m stuck in a rut of doing the same boring things over and over while my life passes me by.

Every day I just sit in my room on my laptop bored, pace around listening to music and thinking about my fantasy life, play video games, go to work as a dishwasher at a restaurant when I’m scheduled, and stay up until around 4:00AM before going to sleep.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life other than that I want to have lots of good friends, fall in love, have time for excitement every once in a while, and be happy. I just finished my freshman year at community college, and I still don’t know what I should major in. The things I’m most interested in are music, psychology, and literature - the types of things that don’t lead to any good jobs at all. My only career goals are things that are unrealistic because of the amount of talent needed or because of the amount of education and money to fund that education needed. I’m not looking for any sort of easy path through life, but I want to find something that I have a reasonable chance of succeeding at.

I’ve been an introvert my entire life, grew up going between one physically abusive environment and one emotionally abusive environment, was disliked by my classmates from a young age due to my misbehavior at school, and I have been very shy and self-loathing since middle school where I was bullied unrelentingly for being gay.

I met some great friends in high school, but I ended up romantically falling for one of them, who is straight. To avoid any future pain in this way, I’ve decided to go straight myself and just find a girl who isn’t that into sex or kissing. I’m still single though because I’m too ugly and shy for girls to like me.

During my senior year in high school, things were going well for me for the first time ever, but then I decided to look up things like “why do people make me so nervous?” and long story short I deluded myself into thinking I had Asperger’s syndrome (It’s kind of like a mild form of autism). Before I knew about this, I just did all the social things normally without thinking about them but was just a bit shy and awkward. Even now, a year after calling myself out for my idiocy, I still worry about whether or not I’m phrasing things correctly or using correct facial expressions

Whenever I feel like I’m on a path to accomplishing something, my own feelings of low self worth and shyness come back to bite me, and I just end up moving back into what I’m used to, no matter how much I hate it. In a crossroads with a choice between something that has always mildly satisfied me and something new that may satisfy me even more, I always choose the thing that I’ve always known because of the anxiety of the new. In all my life, I’ve only had one job because of this - a dishwasher job at a restaurant that I hate but have been at for the past 4 years.

I have a very nice grandma who has offered to give me room and board while I go to college in the area where she lives next year. In a way, I’d like to think of it as a new beginning, but something tells me that I’ll just end up talking to no one and going back to the way I always have been.

I really want to know how I can change and become the person I’ve always wanted to be, and to decide what to do with my short life.

Any advice would be appreciated - thank you in advance.

I moved from LA this summer to Bellevue, WA and so far I’m not too happy about living here. I guess because I moved from the city where everything is pretty much fast pace to more of a suburb/quiet area. So my question is, is there any areas similar to LA that can fill that empty void(homesickness) I’ve been feeling? I really loved the Korea Town malls in LA is there something like that here? Please don’t suggest International District -.- It was mainly just restaurants which I am not interested in.

MARICOPA COUNTY, AZ – A raid targeting illegal immigration led to the arrests of 21 Phoenix-area McDonald’s workers Friday, and authorities were still seeking 30 other employees as part of their investigation.
Deputies armed with search warrants raided McDonald’s restaurants in Scottsdale, Tempe and Mesa Friday morning.

The McDonald’s locations include:

•McDonald’s 1516 North Hayden Road, Scottsdale
•McDonald’s 3218 South McClintock, Tempe
•McDonald’s 2130 West Southern, Mesa
•McDonald’s 1460 West Southern, Mesa
Arpaio said information developed by his deputies indicates that over 50 employees working at the businesses may be using falsified or stolen identities for the purposes of gaining employment.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says it will take more time to determine whether any of them are illegal immigrants as officials suspect.

Deputies also searched a mansion in Paradise Valley. The mansion is owned by Richard Coulston, who owns the restaurants. Coulston was not arrested.

McDonald’s Corp. referred comment to Coulston’s company, R&L Management. In a statement, the company says people shouldn’t jump to conclusions without all the facts.”The company has trained its managers and hiring personnel regarding proper hiring procedures,” Pace said. “It does not permit the hiring of employees without completing those procedures … Any individuals unable to meet the legal requirements for establishing authorization to work are not hired.”

Pace said the company was cooperating with the sheriff’s office.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Friday afternoon that McDonald’s employees had been prepped on what to do if they were raided.

Arpaio also said most employees’ records were not kept at the store, but at the Coulston’s lawyer’s office.

Arpaio said deputies were tipped off in November to the McDonald’s they raided by a caller to their illegal immigration hot line, and the tipster alleged several employees bragged about being illegal immigrants.

Deputies used government databases to identify 51 workers who appear to be illegal workers, and were looking for the 30 outstanding suspects.

County officials said if any of the workers turns out to be an illegal immigrant, it could be their fourth civil case under the employer sanctions law, which penalizes employers for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants. The law, which is more than two years old, carries license suspensions and revocations for those who knowingly make illegal hires and is designed to reduce the economic incentive for immigrants to cross the border.
