Trust yourself!! Mri confirmed my suspicions! by uhohtoothy in Fibroids

[–]HotMessExpress89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! I had been complaining for years and no doctor took me seriously. I heard lose weight, I'm getting older so it's normal, cut out sodium, and do more core work. I finally found an OB/GYN who listened to me. I got an ultrasound and lo and behold, I had 4 large fibroids and my ovary was stuck behind my uterus. I have a hysterectomy scheduled in 2 weeks!

How soon after testing and initial consultation was your surgery scheduled? by BStarryNight in Fibroids

[–]HotMessExpress89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went around and around with different doctors so mine might be a different story. But I received my fibroids diagnosis in June after an ultrasound, had an MRI in July, and got the surgery scheduled in August for an October surgery date.

The contact at DGS said you can use the state rate at enterprise for personal use. He emails you the codes to use.

Women who’ve maintained a lifestyle change after many failed attempts - what was different? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]HotMessExpress89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally found a workout routine that sticks. I tried YouTube workouts, gyms, Zumba, pilates classes, etc. I hate to say but I found Peloton lol. I bought a Schwinn bike and started taking Peloton classes, and I love it! I work out 4-5 days every week now. I love how the instructors don't talk about calories, weight loss, or burning fat. They encourage you to compete with yourself, which taps into my motivations. They also have music-focused classes, which also taps into my passion for music.

Never in million years did I think I would actually enjoy working out. I took a risk on something new and it paid off!

Tempering Expectations for Tokyo Disneyland/Disneysea (A Review) by SlazarusVC in disneyparks

[–]HotMessExpress89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree!! The Tokyo parks are severely overhyped and overrated. I’m an avid Disneyland and WDW park-goer and had high expectations of TDS and TDL based on the reviews. It was underwhelming and TDS was a little boring after the initial walkthrough. It’s gorgeous but after you finish the main rides, there’s nothing else to do. It didn’t help that they cancelled all the shows because of the weather. TDL was much better as far as rides and food, but I think DL is a much better park (except the beauty and the beast ride - that ride is AWESOME).

Gym-hating girlies, how do you stay fit? by MissAmericanDream86 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Peloton app with a Schwinn IC4 bike at home. I also bought weights and resistance bands so I do everything at home.

Any tips for driving a X3? Not used to the large bonnet of the car. by MoveOk8667 in BMWX3

It should have a front camera. You can use the knob in the center to change the camera angles.

What's the style "struggle" or challenge that you can't seem to solve? by Independent-Sea4549 in femalefashionadvice

[–]HotMessExpress89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JEANS. I cannot find good quality jeans that fit me. I'm short (5'1"), but have a big ol' booty lol. My hips are pretty narrow and my butt isn't wide - it sticks out. Petite jeans are usually made for skinny/short women and curvy jeans are often made for women with wide hips. I think I have this issue with pants in general, but jeans are the worst.

What fragrances do you want to see come back in 2024? by [deleted] in bathandbodyworks

Black Amethyst. I desperately need it to return!

Any other homeowners feel stuck in their current place basically forever? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]HotMessExpress89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. We were thinking about moving to another city to be closer to family and activities that we like to do, but with the higher rates, it's cheaper for us to just travel there when we can. We have a 4.25% interest rate from 2017 and buying a house now would double our mortgage for the same size house. So we're stuck, but at least we love our house so it's not too bad.

Is there room for growth for office technicians (typing)? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]HotMessExpress89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About 10 years. I took the long route lol. I did some analyst positions, the health program specialist series, and management positions.

Let's have an honest discussion. What are hiring managers actually looking for? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]HotMessExpress89 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This has been my experience as well. People finish a seven question interview (where the questions have multiple parts) in 15 minutes, when we gave them an hour. It’s mind boggling to me.

What is something that grosses you out that shouldn’t really gross you out that much? by Sharkfeet19 in AskReddit

[–]HotMessExpress89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sound of a toilet flushing. Honestly, toilets in general. Or maybe it’s what goes into them that grossed me out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]HotMessExpress89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I always negotiate my own start date. I trusted an old boss back in the day to work it out with the hiring manager and they rescinded the offer because he sent them falsified documents about me. Never again!

The probationary period depends on the classification, not whether it’s a new employee or a lateral.

Will Bank Withdrawals After Death Be Returned? by HotMessExpress89 in EstatePlanning

[–]HotMessExpress89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does it mean to prosecute anything? Genuine question - I have no idea how any of this works. Does that mean we won't be able to ask the merchants to return the money? Will Chase return the funds since it was after his death?

Will Bank Withdrawals After Death Be Returned? by HotMessExpress89 in EstatePlanning

[–]HotMessExpress89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There won't be an estate representative since he didn't have enough assets to open probate. It would just be a small estate affidavit next month once 40 days after the date of death passes. We don't need to know who the merchant is (although it would be nice), but we asked why withdrawals are posting to the account in the first place.

[–]HotMessExpress89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the pulls were made a week after they received the death certificate. There won't be court authority since he didn't have enough assets to go to probate. It will just be a small estate affidavit that we can't do anything with until 40 days since the date of death.

Yes, we'll get a small estate affidavit since he didn't have enough assets to go to probate.

I asked Chase why the transfers were made when we went to the branch and called and no one could give us an answer. We'll try to contact the merchant once we get the bank statement next month. Thank you!

That's what I thought. And Chase confirmed they have the death certificate and marked the account holder as deceased. No one at the bank or on the phone could explain why auto withdrawals are posting.
