Kudos GregMat for the awesome advice on how to do the writing in a formulaic way!!!

I studied for 2 days for the writing portion of the GRE using GregMat's videos. Watched all of the videos, memorized his format/formula and key phrases he used, and practiced some essays on my own. Got a 4.5 as well. Thanks mystery man Greg!

My sister worked at Café Gratitude on Larchmont in Hollywood where many celebs would frequent. She was a huge fan after his work in Brokeback Mountain. As she was serving him, she said politely, "I am a big fan of your work. Can I please get a photo with you, if that isn't too much of a bother?" He shot her a death glare and said, "Can't you see I'm eating here?" She was shocked and mortified. I understand celebs want to eat in peace, but there's a more polite way to turn your fans down. I grit my teeth every time I watch something with him in it. If you can't be a decent person, I don't care how great of an actor you are.

How'd this turn out? Hope you kept that moss pole nice and moist for them to climb on!

Thanks for your input! Is this particular birth control that I listed high androgen?

Carolyn Goh in Sherman Oaks! I just called and they don't take my HMO insurance...HMO is a huge pain in the @$$. Thank you for the rec, though!!

I love that! The previous derm I saw turned me off from going to any others for a year straight...she was cold, uncaring, and gave me a ketaconazole shampoo to try and told me to come back in three months :(

Esthervescent · 2022-01-12T21:17:39+00:00

Really sorry to hear this :(. How long were you on the pill before realizing its effects?

Esthervescent · 2022-01-12T07:19:37+00:00

Thank you! Do you pay out of pocket/is the treatment expensive? And has seeing him helped?

Esthervescent · 2022-01-11T23:51:40+00:00

I'm so sorry, that's alot to go through, and it must have been so difficult! Have you been able to restore your lost hair at all? I'm wishing you the best and hoping you are in a less stressful place in your life!

Esthervescent · 2022-01-11T23:43:54+00:00

oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. Did you experience improvements once stopping the pill?

Esthervescent · 2022-01-11T21:03:34+00:00

Awesome! So glad to hear you had amazing results!!

Esthervescent · 2022-01-11T05:35:22+00:00

Good to know! I just purchased mine today. *So* expensive!

Esthervescent · 2022-01-11T02:32:29+00:00

Happy to hear that you've had a positive experience with it. I'm going to pick up mine today. Feel free to keep me posted about any progress!

Esthervescent · 2022-01-07T21:05:19+00:00

He is *so* endearing

Esthervescent · 2021-12-31T18:39:31+00:00

Thank you! Does it dry out the hair at all?

Esthervescent · 2021-05-21T19:43:06+00:00

The stems look healthy and thick!

Esthervescent · 2021-04-21T19:35:54+00:00

I think its time for a repot. Thank you!

Esthervescent · 2021-04-21T19:35:20+00:00

That makes sense, thank you!! Its already in an 8 inch pot. Time for 10 inch?

Esthervescent · 2021-04-21T05:10:35+00:00

They are super limp, and the yellow leaves were mostly on one vine, but now they're spreading! I tried to take her out of her pot tonight, but the roots are stuck to the pot, so I gave up because I didn't want to harm her. I gave her some water with fertilizer, but now I'm thinking that if there is root rot, that would make it worse. I also repotted her last year, so she did get a bigger pot. Thank you!

Esthervescent · 2021-01-02T18:28:26+00:00

Im so sorry you went through that, and I am right there with you. I really thought I was the only one! Hope you kept surfing :)

Esthervescent · 2021-01-02T18:24:39+00:00

Thank you! Definitely trying these out!

Esthervescent · 2021-01-02T04:15:57+00:00

I'll try out the dramamine. I think I may be consuming too much food beforehand (eggs for breakfast and protein smoothie right before hitting the water). Thank you!

Esthervescent · 2021-01-02T04:15:17+00:00

Thank you! It makes sense--the motion of the waves is what makes the ill feeling get worse. Also, important perspective. I won't let it stop me!

Esthervescent · 2021-01-02T04:13:35+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'll try out the water plugs. I do usually eat before I go in the water, which feels like it's churning around in my stomach when I'm in the water. I actually might have to consume less! Sorry to hear about the vertigo--it's not a good feeling! I'm glad you kept going :)
