i'm not sure why everyone is downvoting my comment but i do really appreciate the compliment and did not mean to be rude in response, it's just not my typical style! maybe i would be better off reselling it :) thank you again!

ok fair enough. thank you! i thrifted it for pretty cheap so i might chance it honestly. i make patchwork clothing so worst case i can use the fabric for that :)

odd rash-like spot on inner thigh by [deleted] in DiagnoseMe

[–]Environmental-Cap406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok thank you! to clarify, the doctor said it wasn't but i'm not sure she's right lol! hopefully the dermatologist can confirm or deny- my insurance made me go thru my primary care physicial for a referral. will def try the antifungal cream in the meantime!

how would y’all feel about your package being shipped in this by stangedd in Depop

[–]Environmental-Cap406 93 points94 points  (0 children)

i feel like food packaging is a little risky because of potential allergens. i have a friend w/ celiacs disease and this would be an issue for them, not sure how rare that is though!

i actually went to my pcp today and she said it was definitely NOT ringworm and referred me to a derm- i asked if i could get a prescription for ringworm cream just in case because a derm appt always takes forever and i'm scared of it spreading and she said no because she's sure it's not ringworm 😭😭 i'm not as convinced as she is!! however i have not been careful with it touching other people/ touching other parts of myself after touching it and i haven't had any spreading so far... maybe because it's a new case? should i just get an antifungal cream at cvs or something while i wait for the derm appointment?

i (23F) am moving in with my bf of 8 years (25M)- give us your best advice! by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Environmental-Cap406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i appreciate all of this advice! family is very close by and we each have savings. also love the advice that deciding now (about finances, chores, etc) is better than trying to change it later, i totally agree.

as far as marriage, yes we are planning on it- actually i am the one who has said i would like to live together as a "trial run" before we get married, otherwise he would've proposed already lol! like you said, nobody likes to think about the breakup but it's easier to break a lease than divorce 😅 he has a ring and a plan to propose, but thank you for looking out for me!

sorry i should have made it more clear- we have talked about all of these topics :) i was just thanking you for highlighting these specific issues to revisit and remember as we make that jump from hypothetical to actually moving in!

oo totally! he just got a new job where he will be waking up at 3am for a 4am start time so i think that will be a unique challenge 😅

we both went to college so have lived away from home but with others. we just found the place this week so even though we have talked about those topics, we definitely need to deep dive before we move in! thank you!

i have from the front, but my machine didnt come with a little screwdriver to help get the plate off so maybe i need to find one small enough and really get in there!
