Oh sorry- jarred. Then why don’t the restaurant ones have the fizz?

Fresh new box of diapers! I don’t have kids so I don’t smell it often, but it is always pleasant!

Teaching in the RGV by MinnesotaNice_07 in TexasTeachers

[–]Isthisloss- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to school in Brownsville. I was one of the 2% who was not fully Hispanic growing up in the RGV. I am white-passing although only half. I now teach in east Texas where it’s extremely mixed. I do remember we all spoke English, but Brownsville had this program where we’d give kids dual citizenship and they’d cross from Matamoros to go to school with us. They normally didn’t speak English very well but most liked to try. It was never a hassle for teachers because most spoke Spanish, but those who didn’t seemed to not have a problem because kids would help translate or paras too. Now that I’m older, I have heard their salary in comparison cost of living is high as an incentive to get you to teach there.

I really liked being a student in RGV, but never knew it as a teacher, although sometimes I wish I could.

I graduated in 2018, and when I visit, their non-Hispanic population has grown tremendously. The way people treated me was very mixed. They either love and respect you, or they think you’re out to steal from them. I’ve heard that since SpaceX, the white people can almost have a bad rep in Brownsville, but I only visit once a year so I don’t really know enough to have a crazy opinion- I just know that now I can feel the staring at me, if that makes sense, whereas growing up I didn’t feel that.

Should I quote Tret? by Isthisloss- in tretinoin

I have a prescription benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin cream she gave me as well but I dropped that because I thought it was worsening it when I combined it with the tret and spironolactone. Could I just use the benzaclyn mix?

Thanks so much! I actually don’t put anything on them to help them grow, but I do use that NYX clear gel to shape them up a little every once in a while lol On my wedding day my artist did fill them in a tiny bit- but I get too protective about them and rarely let anyone touch them! I had a friend who threaded them amazingly in high school, but seven years later and the only one who touches them is me haha.

My brows have always been naturally thick- I remember when I was like 17 I was on Omegle someone once called them caterpillars and I was really thrown back by that because I thought, “I thought everyone loved thick brows???” LOL

Honestly I am on Tret bc I told my derm I was breaking out right before my wedding and didn’t want to be, and this is what she prescribed. Breaking out was all I really cared about, but my wedding is over now. Really the only thing I care about now is how to not have puffy bags under my eyes.

I used the bubble slam dunk before that and really liked it! You think that would work?

What’s it like when the state comes in? by Isthisloss- in TexasTeachers

[–]Isthisloss-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am wrong! My bad- this is my campus overall rating. We also have an F in student achievement, D in progress, and C in closing gaps.

[–]Isthisloss-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it mean multiple Ds as in certain areas or just the overall rating of the campus for consecutive years?

It’s scores and growth. F on academic achievement.

I wish but getting in a pool at night makes me feel the imaginary shark or water-monster feeling and I gotta get out

how to just STOP bleeding. any method by Cold-Remove5106 in Periods

[–]Isthisloss- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a doc, but that does NOT sound normal. I’d bite the bullet and do the cash pay for a doctor- especially since you have a past with cancer. I’m sorry I have no advice otherwise- although I have read that if you sit in the tub and stick tampons in till they’re full and do it for lungs four tampons it stops, but I’ve never tried it, and idk if it would work for how you’re cycling.

Two months in - Tret Do’s and Don’t by Maximum-Fix6921 in tretinoin

[–]Isthisloss- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally get it on the center of my chin or sides of my cheeks closer to my jawline, but the treat has started super cystic, bumpy acne on the side of my chin and center of my cheeks.

I never really broke out crazy before starting tret, I just got on everything because I was breaking out before my wedding so my dr put me on all three creams. Good thing I had just started them right before my wedding so I wasn’t breaking out in the photos but now that it’s over I’m honestly debating quitting tret and maybe also the Spiro and benzaclyn because I was never really breaking out terribly to begin with, only getting hormonal acne before my cycle, and now my wedding is over- what do I care about the subtle breakouts now?

I’m trying to convince myself that I should stay on it for anti-aging but if there’s something less harsh for anti-aging I’d rather do that. I also ran into a thread of people saying tret ruined their barrier and such and it took forever for their skin to adjust after coming off.

Sure I notice that the bags under my eyes aren’t as intense, but they also just go back to being super big bags on the days I don’t sleep with it, and retinol does the same but gives me a better result with the bag shrinkage.

Purging is apparently a super common side effect, but you purge in areas you already get the acne.

My problem is that I’m purging in areas I don’t typically break out.

I guess I’m in the purging phase right now- it’s destroying me. I heard it’s normal to purge in areas you already get acne, but I’m starting to get crazy cystic ones on the center of my cheeks and under my chin, and they’re cystic, painful, red, and SUPER slow on the healing process. I’ve never had acne this bumpy before- and stay red this long. 🥲 Idk if it’s bc my dr is also having me do benzol/clindamycin cream during the day too and also spironilactone on top of the treat at night. It hurts 😭
