[ - ] I am losing my job, I have a choice of resigning or getting terminated. No reasons have been given to me, but I know that I haven't done anything crazy (stealing, etc.). Should I resign, or should I let them terminate me? Which would guarantee me unemployment compensation assuming I didn't do anything "wrong"? 19 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

sometimes they have to dig out a lot of tooth for a filling and they get too close to the nerve. Root canal is nothing to be afraid of. I had one recently(my 1st) the appointment was at 9am...my 3yo sat in the room ..I was in the gym on the treadmill before 10:30am, no kidding! [ Reply | More

They are generally the least sought after in many apartment buildings--often they are medical offices with a very high maintenance and need a complete reno because of that, also they are less secure and often have bars on the windows. Nice to have a garden, but many ground floor apts have no access to the garden or "courtyard." [ Reply | More
