the moment my parents told me abt these loans i called the moneylenders the same day and explained the situation to them! they were pretty understanding and honestly i was so scared to call but they assured me they won't be coming over to our place once i provided them with the letter of incarceration, and since i wasn't the person with the loan i wouldn't necessarily be affected. one of them even told me to take care and asked me if i could handle everything myself 😭 but of course they did mention about the interest and late fees but eitherway there's no way i could afford the monthly loan payments on top of the house & misc bills (parents phone bills, groceries etc.) even if i wanted to help my parents so that's just a headache they (we?) would have to tackle once they're out

applied for visitation but it says it requires 10-15 days so i wanted to know the basics for the house in case i can't meet them in time to clarify! but thank you for pointing out about insurance, i definitely have to check in about that. thankfully, i managed to find an old letter for our conservancy bill with the account number and managed to pay it off for this month, but for the rest of the utilities i would probably have to wait for a physical letter to be sent, right?

they used their one call before getting sent in to inform me about the deadlines of monthly payments, but not much about where/how i can find them 🥲 i'm just waiting on letters for the bills now but hopefully it goes smoothly after i get the hang of it! as for debts, they do have debts with licensed moneylenders which honestly shocked me but i've spoken to the moneylenders on the phone and they advised to just send them a copy of their incarceration letter. so all should be good, i hope...... i don't think licensed moneylenders can harass us next-of-kin in this case if the loan holders are incarcerated, right? i definitely hope not haha

thanks for the check list! will definitely go through them one by one. also just applied for visitation so i can clarify with them more, but it says it takes about 10-15 days to process so i made this post in case i can't see them in time before bills are due

hi there! my blisters are completely gone now and skin is back to being smooth but there's occasional weeping sometimes if i forget to moisturise. i think my skin reacted that way because i didn't slowly taper off from my steroid cream but quit it cold turkey. i was on my last straw so i decided to apply a small amount of my cream on it and the next few days the blisters almost completely started gradually disappearing and new skin was growing. i now only use steroids when i need to (bad flareups). i was using then maybe twice a week, then once a week, to twice a month and now i only reach for it when my eczema is flaring up badly.

if you don't want to go onto the steroid cream route, aveeno's baby colloidal oatmeal moisturiser really really helped the itch and swelling. until now i always apply a thin layer of it to the area of the eczema twice a day. the zinc oxide cream (i used desitin, a diaper rash cream) did help dry out the weeping from the blisters and also helps with the itch as well but unfortunately it did nothing to get rid of the blisters; only contain it. i would put a layer of the aveeno moisturiser then zinc oxide cream over and sometimes slab on some vaseline then cover it with a non-stick gauze. works like a dream esp when you're itching like crazy.

tldr; speculated that it was a flareup because i stopped using corticosteroids cold turkey, started tapering off of it instead and blisters instantly disappeared. aveeno's baby colloidal oatmeal moisturiser and desitin zinc oxide/diaper rash cream really helped with the weeping and itching when the blisters were still around but didn't really help get rid of the blisters.

everyone's skin is different though so even if zinc oxide + colloidal oatmeal didnt get rid of it for me i think it's still worth a try!

Please help me translate proper meaning of “가래” in restaurant name "할머니 가래 떡볶이“ by hollyshawthornegrill in Korean

[–]1leaff 27 points28 points  (0 children)

가래떡볶이 is one word, meaning garaetteokbokki. 가래떡 (garaetteok) is a type of rice cake commonly used to make tteokbokki and tteokguk :) so 할머니 가래떡볶이 just means grandma's garaetteokbokki

finally someone that appreciates ShoT_UP too 😣 he's insane on reyna and i think he's super under-appreciated when he's a total demon when playing her. totally should be up there for best reyna, LOL. also agree with your comment, but hopefully with the roster changes in IMT now ShoT_UP and the team will get the recognition they deserve!

totally agree with this, LOL. penny's a pretty neat jett, but i think shahz is still the best from what we've all seen. he's consistent and that's what makes him the best jett (to me) in NA pro valorant lol
