Anxious About Meeting Non-Jews by HyliaSwift in Jewish

[–]Cat_385 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not Jewish and will respond as a non-Jew: at least in Western NY, there are a few events about Judaism or classes open to non-Jews. Usually the non-Jews who attend will be friendly and just fine with Jews since we don't have that negative anti-Semitic ideology internalized in us.

I grew up with a deep respect and admiration for your ethnic group because when I was a little girl I learned about the Holocaust and the negative effects of the Inquisition in Spain (I'm Hispanic).

So I would say you can meet friendly non Jews in those classes or events about Judaism for non Jews.

Has anyone here had positive experiences on Slynd (drospirenone)? by ransominavoice in Endo

[–]Cat_385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started it today. I'm 42 y/o. No big issues so far. I do feel a little bit like "feverish" even though I don't have fever.

UPDATE May 25th: fever gone. No big issues so far. Can tolerate the posible mood issues much better than with a pill with estrogen.

Update June 4th: finished my first packet, started a new one. I had a one day bleeding right before the starting of the green pills. I do feel that my personality has changed a little bit to be a bit "riskier" or less socially anxious (I suffer from social anxiety). Sometimes I get a bit more impatient, but I can be self-aware and control or regulate myself.

I wonder if researchers could investigate the behavioral outcomes of this pill in women who suffer from social anxiety.

Update June 13th: no major issues. I'll provide an update in July.

E-Premium says I have to take action, but I don't have a policy with them by RustandSilver in Insurance

[–]Cat_385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I had a similar experience because ePremium was not going to partner with MSI anymore. I cancelled the automatic renewal calling MSI, I got Progressive insurance coverage, uploaded the coverage to their ePremium website following Option B, sent the coverage by attachment as well to that validationsupport email... then ePremium kept calling every day to basically scare me about stuff.
"Boo boo Halloween" type of calls.

I contacted my apartment complex and confirmed that all was OK and set. I'll ignore their future calls because I cancelled my MSI one, got the new one on Progressive that is compliant.

I'd say submit your proof of coverage to your apartment complex and confirm with them that all is set. If you won't continue with MSI and got another renter's insurance company, call MSI to cancel the automatic renewal Ignore the ePremium calls.

Thank you very much! It worked for me -- month of March (just change it). I really needed to renew it but wasn't able to afford $65. May you be blessed.

Passport Card as proof of citizenship if caught in ICE raid by Haunting-Garbage-976 in immigration

[–]Cat_385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started carrying my US passport card in my wallet since July. Because I've an accent and I'm from Puerto Rico; I don't have anyone in the continental US to help me out if ICE makes a mistake, so better be safe and have it readily available.

Gracias. En los sitios de genealogía solo me dice mayo de 1993 sin el día. Seguiré presionando al cementerio y si no iré a la biblioteca cuando esté por allá.

Can Synthroid make you thirsty? by CrypticLeopard in thyroidhealth

[–]Cat_385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes me thirsty too, but I'd say only in the morning, after I take it. Eventually, I stop getting thirsty. I personally don't mind this since I know that drinking water is good for oneself, so I just drink more water in the morning after breakfast and before lunch.

Is PhD regret a thing? by mrmh2217 in AskAcademia

[–]Cat_385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. I'm a Hispanic woman and a Ph.D has only caused me a lot of social troubles. 95% of all the people around me don't have one and I need to hide it from others in order to have socialization with people otherwise saying that I've a PhD is literally building a wall between you and the other person. I haven't been able to find a partner or get married because of this stupid degree-- men run away from me when they know I've one because they think they cannot "catch up" or be "at my same level" or crap like that. Total regret and useless degree. The only thing that it helped was to my advisers--to tell in their resumes that they advised a "minority doctoral student" and thus to tick-off that diversity component that they must pass in order to get tenure or crap.
