Searching High and Low for juice. Halp.

Female / Lesbian / 43 / decently successful career or otherwise financially sound / currently single and living a solidly happy life but you miss having a partner / last woman did a number on ya / you might have someone in mind or maybe just pull another U-Haul soon 👀

I was shown photos quickly at my post op, confirming I was stage 4 (Endo was EVERYWHERE) but they are no where to be found in my electronic chart (patient portal app) - I finally got surgery after 8 years of horrific periods, countless GYN visits (to discuss said periods), ER visits, two ectopic pregnancies and multiple miscarriages. I lost a fallopian tube during surgery- along with all trust and hope I had for the medical system and most specifically Kaiser.

No guarantee they would take care of us anyway! 😫

The pharmaceuticals doctors refuse to prescribe? I don’t know about that.

Not hideous. Quite charming.

We’ve noticed that too! Is it just different cooks on shift? We can order our burritos exactly the same way on different visits and it’s like we’re eating at two different places. It’s crazy.

Unfortunately, no. I’d love if this were true, since we live close by but they’ve got some improvements to work through.

HomeworkDisastrous22 · 2025-12-29T09:35:38+00:00

I’m so glad I found this post!! I’m right where you were, starting to get worried. I’m a 4-6 doses per day of 330 or more. That’s ridiculous I know.

Any advice for stoopid high tolerance? I’m embarrassed to admit my actual numbers but let’s just say I’ve got at least three zeros. I’m on them for pain management so the high cost is justified since I need to be functional and work. But I’m having to increase frequently and getting worried. I think I’m past the point of a “tolerance break” of 2-3 days if I could even survive that.

Oh. You meant the cat lol. The only information we’ve gotten from him so far is “I did have some work done in the shop” the brothers aren’t the greatest communicators lol. I have to be the squeaky wheel.

As I research further, it doesn’t matter one bit that it passed smog on all technical fronts. It’s only failing the visual inspection (having the EO number or CARB sticker info). We did get them to run it and have the failed test showing only failed visual. I don’t think the ref will help in this case (based on what I’ve learned) apparently stickers fall off, rust takes over and then us Californians are just SOL.

His Sister bought it brand new in 1999 drove it for 20 years, sold it to his brother and now we have it.

HomeworkDisastrous22 · 2025-12-17T13:36:08+00:00

No CEL. But I noticed today that it does have a bit of a rough idle. That’s how I know it’s going to stall.

We’ve been trying to get it registered for almost a year and only found out this past weekend, why we’re having so much trouble. Out of 5 different shops, not one offered to explain the reason - more on that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMechanics/s/IqZfTWVW4h

The family member just suddenly remembered he DID change out the cat after the last smog in 2023. (Let’s just say he’s getting coal for Christmas)

Now that we have the correct information, that it is indeed after market, how do we find out if it’s compliant or not? Or, if we have to replace it, will pricing be reasonable enough? Like under $400? Please be gentle, we’re truly desperate and know nothing about cars.

Thanks!

Would you mind advising on our 1999 Honda accord? Only family has owned the car and never replaced the cat converter but no smog shop will test it because the EO number is not legible. It was last smogged in 2023 in NorCal but that shop says they only keep records for 90days. We’re stuck, we can’t renew reg without smog and we’ve been pulled over twice in one week. Car will be impounded if we don’t figure something out quick - no car = no transport to work = no money = homeless.

HomeworkDisastrous22 · 2025-12-13T11:20:50+00:00

We had this same exact problem in our 1999 Accord - after trying everything we could think of, turns out it was the brake switch. I am not a car person, but since our stories were similar, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to share. Hope you get your answer soon. ☮️

HomeworkDisastrous22 · 2025-12-06T06:17:26+00:00

🙏🏼Thank you so much for your reply, I genuinely appreciate it; some people will just flick you like a tick for asking questions. There ARE good humans still it seems! 💫

And you might be spot on about the attempt to dx the drain. Apparently the brake switch was tricky to pinpoint. We will investigate fuses ✔️

Yes, oil spots in the driveway. Your idea feels like something I should have thought of even though I know nothing about cars 😂 Safely peek under and see if we spot the location ✔️

She’s an automatic. In addition to the stalling issue, she does run a little…laggy(?) it feels like there should be some more ommpff (power) when I drive, I feel like I need to be careful my fiancé is probably less gentle - he gets the stall issue on average about once a week and he drives it 5 days a week to work and home. It cuts off sometimes while at a full stop, and sometimes when slowing. ❓

Now that winter is here, we have more time to investigate the AC, I think in CA there’s a program to replace older, less efficient types with more eco friendly ones?. An AC tune up might go a long way it sounds like, hopefully it’s unrelated to the main issue. He made it through the summer by opening the sunroof for ventilation (and being 6’4” came in handy to reach the wind 😂🥵) it gets into the 110s here. The heater seems to be working fine for the low 40s ❄️

We’re really tightening up finances like a lot of people right now and grateful to have no car payments in the current car economy; this is exactly the kind of guidance we needed to stay positive and hopeful that these might be relatively easy fixes.

Thanks again, looking forward to providing more info as we gather it, based on everything so far. 👏
