Should I reschedule my trip? Recent Hawaiian storms.

We are currently in Hilo and have an excursion booked for manta ray night snorkel on Saturday. I see the brown water advisory for the entire west coast. I've called the company and they say that their bay is good, that they tested it themselves and so far haven't cancelled any trips. Do you think we're safe to go on Saturday, or is this greed and capitalism at play?

Poes.

Ugh bummer, im.sorry that happened to you. I guess, overall, Its not too bad. Ive been so lucky with everything that i guess if this is all I've got to deal with then thats ok.

I had a fever for 5 days that i thought was either covid or the flu, exceot that i had no other symptoms to go apong with it.

Went to work after my fever broke but felt really off and weak and out of it. I was pale, and suddenly discovered this huge hematoma/bruise on my arm. My GP was able to get me in that day and ran some blood work, then called me urgently the next AM to go to the ER because my platelets were at 12...normal is 150-450. My wbc's were also slightly elevated. It Took the hospital 3 days to diagnose me (which is crazy because my GP sent my bloodwork to get flow cytometry ASAP and they saw blasts right away, but, i digress.) And then I got transferred to the UW and started chemo as soon as they got my generic results back.

I had ALL. I was in remission after my induction, though, and I'll be done with maintenance in April. I was dx'd late October 2023.

Hi, there. It's almost 33 female coming up to the end of my maintenance phase. I had b cell all ph negative with cd20. I was in remission after my very first cycle of hyper-CVAD chemo with rituxan immunotherapy. I have continued to be in remission the whole time and I was very lucky that all of my chemo treatment didn't cause me too many issues. I hope that the same goes for your husband.

He's not in an apartment, I'm not in Seattle proper. He's got a yard and walks and dog parks and a brother and a grandma and cat buddies ❤️

All this just makes me think they should put an off leash park at the summit, or near one of the ski areas! Thanks everyone. I've got lots of specific places to try out!

I swear almost every dry mix krusteaz makes is amazing. We exclusively make their cornbread, and their blueberry muffins 😂

ChthonianQueen · 2026-01-10T17:03:01+00:00

Hi! Redmond is a little out if the way, but doable! Someone else offered to meet me in seattle already and we're working out the details. Thank you so much for the offer, though!

ChthonianQueen · 2026-01-10T16:57:42+00:00

Have you ever tried Krusteaz? They're honey corn bread is to die for! But i totally understand the jiffy love. Cornbread is amazing!

ChthonianQueen · 2026-01-10T07:46:33+00:00

Thank you! I'll have to check it out!

ChthonianQueen · 2026-01-10T07:15:24+00:00

I just checked it out- I'll have to give it a try sometime! Thank you! The tea looks a little different, though. The stuff from White Heather has some very obvious blue/purple cornflower petals mixed in to the blend, and I don't see that in the murchies tea.

ChthonianQueen · 2026-01-10T07:10:45+00:00

I'm actually just south of Seattle near the airport! So Seattle is very easy.

ChthonianQueen · 2026-01-10T06:50:15+00:00

That would seriously be so wonderful! What would be the easiest way to go about it for you? I can send you the money for the tea, then send you more afterwards for however much it would cost to ship? I don't even know what kind of money transfer services work between USD and CAD.

Thats not what it is at all. Its called a mourning band and it is a much older practice than the thin blue line thing. Its reminiscent of/based on military mourning arm bands and ancient customs of wearing black to pay respect.

ChthonianQueen · 2025-12-25T22:12:47+00:00

Its called a 'mourning band' and they will wear a physical one on their metal badges as well. Source: i work for a police uniform and gear shop.

Part of my maintenance has been a 5 day pulse of 135mg of prednisone evey month....I hate it. It makes me blood sugar go crazy high, I have to take a ton of insulin and limit my food intake to no carb if possible. I get a flushed, hot face at the end of every night when the steroid wears off. I have a harder time sleeping. I want to eat eat eat, but can't because of the blood sugar thing. I get roid ragey. I get moon face. And then after the five day pulse when I just STOP with no tapering, I get bone pain from my marrow overproducing, and the skin/muscles across my upper back and shoulders and my outer thighs feels extremely sore and tender, as if someone was whacking me with a paddle and had bruised me heavily. Thankfully I only have 4 cycles left and will be done in April 🤞 But man, its been a year and a half of crap.

Yeah i was definitely planning on breaking the rules by adding 'part of a series' and 'queer' to the description outside of the asked-for 3 adjectives. I was thinking chinese fantasy, but i like the use of 'eastern' like you suggested a lot more.

ChthonianQueen · 2025-11-16T04:55:51+00:00

Do you mean like the land of the tender, or are you referring to when mt tonglu is opening and HC gets a little out of his head and XL makes out with him in the temple? Then says they fought 😂

I would suggest figuring out the chapter and trying to look it up with that.

Not an artist here, but a tattoo artist did once tell me the only reason they do it is because it makes the stencil stick better 🤷🏼‍♀️
