I am opening a grocery store in Pomona, CA, and I am waiting for a permit from the health department. I have already paid for rent, a designer, and the health department. The building is not ready yet, and the lender told me I have to clean and paint the floor. Is it true that I have to do that, and is it legal to open my business when my designer submits the plan check or do I have to wait until my permit comes, which could take up to two months?

I will be traveling with girlfriends to Charleston, SC the week of October 14, for a girl’s trip. I have a port in my right upper chest and need to bring 4 bulbs containing Lactated Ringers 500ml each. I’m in stage 4 CKD and have twice weekly infusions. I’d like to bring them in my carry-on as they are plastic and can easily be punctured. What steps should I take to ensure I can bring these medical supplies through TSA security?

My male therapist was sexually inappropriate with me, leading to severe anxiety, guilt, shame, and unemployment. I have not disclosed this to my psychiatrist, who only knows I am very depressed and anxious. I feel violated and struggle with self-esteem, guilt, shame, and panic at the thought of returning to work. What steps should I take, and what state-specific laws should I be aware of?
