I originally posted here regarding a package that had been shipped May 2. It was last scanned on May 4 departing the Des Moines sort facility.

I made several calls to USPS to try to find this package. Most of the people were nice and seemingly helpful, though I never recieved any followup calls or emails as promised. Apparently, one of the agents I spoke to did not attach the tracking number to my case. After my fourth phone call to USPS, the agent told me that there was nothing more he could do from his end and gave me the number to Consumer Affairs here in New York City.

I called the Consumer Af

I had a package shipped to me nearly a month ago. The shipper used Parcel Select. The tracking looks like this as of 6/1/2015. I haven't seen a scan since May 4, where it says it departed the Des Moines sort facility. I've called USPS (the 1800 number) numerous times and even had a case opened up. Everyone has told me it is still in transit and USPS is slow. I tried calling my local post office, but they never pick up. I'm considering going there on Monday morning to ask about it. Is there anything more I can do on this end? What's the chance this package is lost?

Part one here!

So I finally got in to see my shrink about my late-night anxiety issues. I got the following lovely accusations and advice:

  • He told me flat-out that I 'didn't have a life' and that spent all my time at work or at school. I responded that I am a bellydancer and practice multiple times a week. I also enjoy making crafts. He made a terrible assumption about my personal life because he never bothered to ask and I never thought it relevant to share. I also have a partner but I think it wouldn't go over well if he knew I was gay.

  • I am an 'anxious person'. Obviously this means

I'm a graduate student and teacher who has been on Concerta for a while. My dosage is pretty good, and now that I've found a source for generic Concerta with the OROS delivery system my stimulant regime is as close to solved as it will ever be.

I have a major problem, though. For the past six months, I've been experiencing a sort of 'Midnight Panic'. Every week or so I'll start getting MASSIVELY anxious late at night. Sometimes I'll stay up late, lying in bed in an anxious state wondering about big life questions (how will I get a job? how will I move out? how will I afford an engagement ring for my partner, let alone pay for a wedding?)

Last night, I started freaking out that I had to

The FDA has deemed that Mallinckrodt generic Concerta is not the same as brand Concerta and cannot be prescribed as a substitute.

I'm currently on 18 mg + 27 mg of Concerta. I've taken Mallinckrodt, Kremers, and Watson generics. I'm first going to give you a brief rundown of the three followed by my reactions to them all. These are NOT the same drug! Finally, I'm going to tell you differences in pharmacies if you're looking for a place that will work with you to get you the drugs you need.

Differences between the generics

Generic drugs can and often do vary in delivery system and non-active ingredients from their brand-name equivalents. You should always make a

Hi, everyone! I'm a current SLP graduate student. I'll be starting clinic next semester, and I am rather nervous about it. I'm hoping that some of you more seasoned professionals can provide some advice.

I'm entering the SLP field from my former career in ESL. One of my areas of interest is in literacy. As I take my preparatory coursework for clinic, I am beginning to suspect that I have undiagnosed and untreated dysgraphia. I have never been able to write neatly, even when copying another text directly. As a child, my parents and teachers gave me thick pencils with triangular-shaped grips to facilitate proper holding and admonished me to do reams of handwriting practice to 'stop being so s

Hey everyone!

It seems that some of the Urban Decay build-your-own-palettes are on sale on the UD website. I'm curious about these palettes, but I don't own any UD singles. I was wondering about the pan size the palettes accept. If I could purchase pans and press some of my loose shadows (and the pans fitting into the palette) that would be awesome and make it totally worth it.

Does anyone have one of these things and can weigh in? Thanks! :D

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Kleancolor. I was tipped off that it's a pretty good budget brand. Has anyone tried their stuff?

Also, do you know of any stores in the US (I live in NYC) that sells their products in meatspace? I found several storefronts that sell em on the internet including the Kleancolor website, but their minimum order is WAY more than I'm willing to pay to just try them out.

I'm particularly interested in the 'Neutral Zone' palettes as I really hate dragging my Naked palettes about (they were expensive!:) ) but any thoughts would be helpful.

Hi, I'm Adrien. I figured I'd introduce myself!

I never was much into makeup growing up as I always had gender identity issues. When I tried doing myself up as a girl, I always felt kind of ugly. The phrase "putting lipstick on a pig" certainly came to mind. About two years ago, I began coming out as Genderqueer. Long story short, I don't feel like either a guy or a girl. I went to an anime convention dressed as a male character, and I got really into makeup. I was able to go from this to this. Needless to say, I was HOOKED. I'm also a belly dancer, and I never really knew how to do myself up before. During shows, I gener
