Okay...FB is public domain!! Anyone who uses it should know that from the get go. You post something out there on the web...anywhere on the web, and ANYONE can see it. This is common sense people. However, I'm not sure I can see the insurance companies vailidity on this. I'd need more information. Is she using her "paid" sick leave for these ... See Morevacations??? That would be a question in my mind too??? Come on now!!! Depression or not...Dr's note or not...that's going to have to be an issue she deals with as it was her decision to take the vacations.

American College of Healthcare Sciences As an online student, it's important to have a comfortable study chair and to take short breaks every 30-40 minutes to stretch. Try this exercise to ease tension in your hands: Straighten and separate your fingers until you feel the muscles stretch; hold for 10 seconds. Then bend your fingers into a "claw" and hold for 10 seconds. Repeat 3 times!

Here's an exercise for your eyes: Without moving your head throughout, look up then down, 4 sets; look left then right, 4 sets; then from left corner "clockwise" to right corner and back (ie top half circle), 4 sets; then from left "anti-clockwise" to right (ie bottom half circle), 4 sets. Once done, rub your palms together to create some heat, then cup your palms to your closed eye for about 10 secs. Your eyes should feel really refreshed!!!
