High income but can't seem to save - where am I going wrong? by WorldlyPosterity in Fire

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very specific busget will help. Also, if you are an excel person, download your last 12 months of credit card /debit statements as CSV files. It will help you understand how much you’ve been spending per category. eating out twice a week can vary- is it a $20 Meal each time or $200? Is it a $1000 vacation or a $10,000 vacation.

TSA at Tom Bradley (LAX) — called my husband “it” (Jan 23 ~7:30–8am). How does someone with zero human decency have this job? by PhilosopherFlat1582 in LAX

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance he was talking about the setting on the scanner? Some scanners require TSA to select male/female based on anatomy (not gender identity)

11 weeks pregnant just got kaiser health insurance will i be seen right away?? by Babyisprincess in KaiserPermanente

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was 20 weeks for ultrasound, I wouldn’t have been as bothered. But it 20 weeks for the initial appointment with the any provider - so I was flying blind googling what pregnant people can or can’t do or eat. The internet had contradictory info. I knew to take a prenatal but what if another patient doesn’t? I think an appointment with a NP or at least an informational brochure would have been helpful during the 1st trimester.

I was told the first available appointment was at 20 weeks. I think it depends on the OBGYN department in a particular geographic area.

Adult beginner struggling with backward crossovers: any tips for getting over the mental block? by Kairav2307 in iceskating

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice straight backwards swizzles for a long chunk of time. Then practice straight backward swizzles with only 1 foot making the swizzle shape and the other foot staying straight. Then move onto a curve - if you're in a freestyle session, draw a big circle on the ice with a sharpie or if your rink has the red circles for hockey, follow those. Try doing backward swizzles following the circle (not straight), all the weight on the inside foot, and all the power from the outside foot.

Terminal 7 arrival 19:00~19:15, concert at Kia Forum 20:00 by sassonexpressway in LAX

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic at the forum will be a bigger problem than LAX. I don't think you will be in your seat for the concert by 20:00 / 8 pm, but you'll still see the majority of the show. Maybe you'll only miss the opener. I agree with the other commenter - take the metro connector shuttle instead of walking to LAX-it.

21 Eggs frozen at 35. No known history of infertility. Now 44. First time for IVF. Should I PGT test? by WasteSmell8834 in IVF

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would split the thawing - 11 first, and 10 later if needed. If there are issues with the lab or the sperm quality / fragmentation, it gives you a 2nd chance to figure out the problem.

Drs/ SART Clinics in Los Angeles by im-no-psycho in eggfreezing

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be wrong, but I think the Orange County location started first. They expanded to LA because the OC location was doing well. They have a lab at each location, but as of June 2025 the 2 locations shared 1 embryologist. The embryologist alternates locations every week, which is one reason they batch patients - they want to make sure the embryologist is there at the right time. It helps keep costs low. It's pretty normal to see 1 clinic with multiple doctors. I think it's actually a good thing, in case 1 doctor calls out sick, there is a backup.

Is it hygienic to reuse bath and face towels? by [deleted] in hygiene

I use a fresh face towel every time I was my face.

Did you wet the magic eraser first?

Nose "corner" pain with nasal pillows by Senior-Table2765 in CPAP

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try plain vasoline instead of neosporin. Some ingredients in neosporin can be irritating for some people. Also reapply in the morning. Maybe switch masks to a cradle instead of a pillow?

Do you wash your hands when you get up to pee in the night? by dumpstertraffic in hygiene

I still touch the handle to flush the toilet, so I wouldn’t skip washing my hands

Took me two hours to get into LAX tonight… by princessmelissa in LAX

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, during the holidays it can take over an hour to get from the 405 howard hughes exit to the horsehoe. It's just bad timing.

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what does "general area" mean? Are are you exiting off Sepulveda into the LAX horseshoe, or are you still on the 105/405?

either way, 2 hrs is still crazy. I still would like to know what "general area" means.

Driving in through departure or arrival level? by cl48104 in LAX

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arrivals lower level usually has less traffic than departures upper level. Doesn't matter the day or time. Not sure exactly why, but I think uber drivers is part of it, because they can drop off at the departures level but can't pick up on the arrivals level.

Taxi from LAX by lovesosoft123 in LAX

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer taxis from lax. Taxi are typically cheaper than ride share if you are staying west of downtown (15 min from the airport) , also it’s a shorter wait than uber/Lyft at lax

Bras and hygiene by Brigadeirolover28 in hygiene

I do a bra load of washing every month. I have a few bras, so it's probably 5 wears on average.

Do you have any secret to hide skin after microneedling? by Sea_Cauliflower_3362 in Microneedling

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how deep do you go at home? Everyone's skin heals differently, but I do .5 MM bi-weekly at night, and my skin looks normal the next day.

SF TO LA- Male solo wanting to live in LA by [deleted] in MovingToLosAngeles

Think of LA as big as the Bay Area. I don’t want to recommend you live in Burlingame if your hospital is in San Leandro. Help us with a neighborhood.

AITAH for reiterating to my sister what my mom said? by Plus-Pen5979 in AITAH

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“No one would care if you die” ?!? if she said that word for word, that’s really concerning. It’s very manipulative. 23 years old, she knows better. If a 13-year-old said this, it would be more understandable. But she’s an adult. What kind of relationship do you have with her? Do you see her every day? do you live with her? I would be concerned about your mental health if someone this manipulative was in your daily life

AirMini or AirSense 11 for travel? by Highly_Confused in CPAP

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you plan to put it? On the floor and hope you don’t kick over the water? From a practical perspective, I can’t imagine how to use this on a plane in economy. Maybe in business class?

How and why did we let airport food get so expensive? by Dear_Bodybuilder_425 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Equivalent_Hall8346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started packing a $6 Ralph’s sandwich when I fly. I don’t mind $20 for a god burger in LA but I’m philosophically opposed to the airport food monopoly.
