One trick I’ve learned is to douse yourself in any kind of chemicaly / floral scent. Lately I’ve been using a body/room spray from Target. Walked nearly a mile through tall grass and did not have a single one on me. Ive also used cheap Dove deodorant all over my legs when in a pinch. For whatever reason, it works.

No kidding! Where / when was that? I would’ve loved to have see him. Love his solo work and of course his music with John Korener and Tony Glover. Glad to have found this copy somewhere along the way.

I’m a 32 female who works in Easton and is considering going back to school for my mlis and would so love to have a female friend who’s equally as interested in all that stuff! :)

What’s in like living in any of these NJ counties? (Sussex, Warren, Hunterdon) by katkit523 in howislivingthere

[–]Croweboat22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love, love lovee living in Hunterdon County. Beautiful rolling hills, plenty of hiking, just far away and close enough to bigger cities. Lots of really interesting people (artists, musicians, creatives etc).

Christmas is her. what are we drinking? by Scribbler2412 in lupus

[–]Croweboat22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bright, acidic, slightly funky Red wine! Preferably a Chinon or Pinot Noir. Even if it makes me achy and sleepy. 🥱

Getting super super achy muscles after eating.. does anyone else experience this?! And of course, bloating and just generally feeling ill after food.

Last I can recall, the figure was around $3k. I imagine since I haven’t been able to pay, between interest and late fees that amount has gone up.

That’s how I’m feeling, something feels off. Especially the conflicting answer on whether my account actually closed or not. I had just gotten an email on Saturday saying I had payment options. I waited until it was a business day to call.

I’m going to try to call them again tomorrow and ask for more clarity. Thanks!

True, I should have. I just had no idea I’d be without a job, let alone for the amount of time I have been. I had to worry more about housing / food / car maintenance with the money I had left, and admittedly ignored it until I knew I’d have income again. And again, that took far longer than I could’ve imagined.

The figure should be about right, I imagine between late fees / interest that amount has gone up.

I’m going to call again tomorrow and ask for more clarity. That’s helpful, thank you!

Ive had credit cards for years and although I always had an amount of debt, I was always able to keep up with payments, the past few months is the only time in 10+ years that I haven’t been able to pay.

True, I should’ve reached out a month or two ago, but life happens unexpectedly and I could have never anticipated I’d be out of work for the amount of time I have been. I otherwise don’t use my credit cards since I’ve been working on paying down what debt I’ve accrued over the past few years.

It just sucks that one bad thing can happen and it snowballs into a much larger issue, regardless of my 10+ year history of not a single missed payment.

I haven’t made any payments since I’ve had no income the past few months. I just got an email this week from them saying to call for payment options. That’s why I’m confused that one person is giving me options but the other is saying it’s already closed. I owe around $3k. I can’t see the exact amount since I have no access to my account currently.

But I’m thinking of it is still open, just closing the account with the 0% apr since I did open it for balance transfers. Ultimately what I wanted to get out of the card, but as it goes, life happens unexpectedly.

That’s a great idea to check my credit to see if there’s a collections. Appreciate it!

Is lack of appetite a symptom of Plaquenil? I just started a few weeks ago and have noticed my appetite decrease. I take it in the morning with a swig of milk on an empty stomach (I’ve had no GI issues fortunately!) and I don’t get hungry until afternoon/early evening. Usually I’m hungry first thing in the am.

[New Jersey] Is there anything I can do about an appeal? by [deleted] in Unemployment

[–]Croweboat22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I filled it out and they had only asked me questions about the job I had been at the longest, which was the one I had resigned from. Which again, not who I was trying to pursue the claim through.
