Anyone here adopt a puppy during the infertility struggle? Husband and I considering it to have something positive throughout this situation and thinking the extra companionship would be helpful. I work from home. Husband has had many family dogs and lots of experience with it, I’ve had a family cat before.

Been speaking to a girl in the UK for a few years. Both have really clicked, are best friends who love each other, not madly in love, though she'd move to the US in a couple of years.

I know in my heart she'll always miss her large family, her mother, and especially helping her parents with her handicapped brother.

Are we both better off finding someone locally? Will she resent me when times are tough, when only my parents have access to our kids, or only visiting family for 3 wks/yr?

Hi guys,

I need some advice, I’ve been in a newly created role within a pharma agency for about three months now and it is not going too well. There is little to no structure or direction from senior leadership, no access to client data, little to no billable work. Worst of all, no project is related to what I have been hired to do.

I would like to move on with a different agency asap, but I’m not sure how to proceed with such a short time here.
