Please pray for my Fiance's mother. She is in ICU stage 3 leukemia, pneumonia. We are 1000s of miles away and Fiance is losing it. Please pray for us.

So I just need some advice here, I have a friend that is employed by a restaurant franchise. I've been told by them that the boss does some things that are pretty terrible. The worst I have been told is that the boss propositions young girls still in high school for sexual favors, for promotions etc. That's just the worst thing I've heard. My friend has worked there about 2 years. However she wants to do something about this, and has told the corporate offices. I guess they sent some investigator and I was told management knew they were coming...

An American tour operator has been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in North Korea for alleged “hostile acts” against the repressive regime, according to its official state news agency.

So I go in for an interview, everything is going good. It was for an IT help desk in an office. The interviewer asks me a lot of questions, and asks do you smoke? I said yes. She immediately says, I can't give you the job then. This is in Oregon. I looked up laws and there is a statute where companies cannot use smoking as a consideration when hiring, they can only ban smoking at work. Any advice would be great. Thanks! Ooops, almost forgot. Long time Lurker, looking to meet some new FRiends.
