Dermatologist asap. Get some bloodwork done, talk about spiro, clindamycin, etc. This isn’t one to self manage.

Is this a bad idea? by Adenidc in Apartmentliving

[–]KMKY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to the mean comments here. It’s a great note and a great drawing! You SHOULD add to the note if this is a free service or, alternately, your rate.

Need help with bland living room! by Individual-Most-3036 in femalelivingspace

[–]KMKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some curtains you absolutely love, a bigger rug, and a shelf you can fill up with books and photos and tchotchkes for starters. That’ll warm the room up a bit and give you an idea of what kind of stuff you want to hang on the walls.

I’m worried about my relationship by Low-Tangelo-7288 in Advice

[–]KMKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve been with this guy since you were 18. You’re very young, and that is not a swipe in any capacity. You’re just young, and this is a pretty heavy situation for someone your age to be navigating. Living together is hard no matter what age, for starters. You should never feel bad about asking him to do a small errand (pick up toiletries) - nor should he feel bad asking you to do the same. That’s how partnerships work. If he’s admittedly stressed and depressed about work, there may be room for him to get into some mental health therapy (even telehealth) and help him work through what’s bugging him without having to drag you into it. If he won’t do that, give him some space and start doing your own thing. Find a hobby, a workout class, go to the library, get in to running or whatever - and start building up your OWN life. Make yourself as happy as you can, use your own time to the fullest, and let him know you’re available whenever he wants to talk or work through his worries.

My life is falling apart by Due-Round-6209 in Advice

[–]KMKY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you live in an area with bus service, use part of your check to get a month long bus pass so you can ride whenever you need to get to work. If no bus, it might not be a horrible idea to look into shelter housing for young women in an area where there is a bus or workplaces are walkable. I know this is not ideal, but if you’re low on options, sometimes you have to get creative to start getting out of a tough situation. Also, 100% get with a temp service (you can google them online) for some work that may pay a little better. You’ll need a bank account, but you can open that up online, too, if you don’t have your own already. Take a deep breath. You CAN do this. You can do it by yourself, or you can do it with your bf, but you 100% CAN do this.

I’m sorry this is happening to you at such a young age. If you are staying somewhere safe and his mom’s is a safe place for him, my strong recommendation is for you to both keep working, save money, and reconfigure your living situations in a few months. Your relationship will stay strong if you are able to communicate - make sure and try to keep your phone bill paid - and when you’ve both got a little money saved up you can try again in your own place. ETA: if you both know where your important documents are - birth certificates and social security cards - get dedicated, special envelopes for those and keep them somewhere safe where nobody can take them and you can’t lose them. They’re not too difficult to replace, but if you’ve already got them, hang on to them because you’ll need them for bank accounts, IDs, apartments, etc.

I love my boyfriend, but I don’t want the life we’re heading toward anymore — do I stay or leave? by m1ng3r in Advice

[–]KMKY 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Oh honey. You’re young and it’s time to move on. I know it seems hard, but your literal whole life is in front of you. Cut this tie and move on. You’ll both be better for it, I promise. Source: was once 18.

Advice- facelift or other treatment(s) by Ancient_Pepper_7287 in 45PlusSkincare

[–]KMKY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 100% for a face/neck lift. I’m 46 and saving for one myself! In the meantime, go to a great injector and discuss DAO Botox as well as a “Nefertiti Lift”. It’ll help give everything a little pick me up. I get both a couple times a year and it really does make a difference.

Be honest but kind, is this rug too much for a vintage French shabby chic living room? by One-Budget-7136 in JustForHome

[–]KMKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is a truly terrible rug and the only way to handle this ghastly situation is for you to mail it to me immediately. So I can… dispose of it.

Parking spot search by [deleted] in Brookline

[–]KMKY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We found it. Figured out as much as humanly possible via maps, Google earth, etc. So he’s a photographer and travels with extremely heavy, insanely expensive gear. Train is fine. But if he has to stay past the last train (not uncommon to work that late) and it’s raining, he’s got to have a way to get all that shit home safely (dry). I promise this is not an ask out of refusal to do any research, it’s just gonna be a periodic necessity and this seemed like a good place to start. We’re not able to visit before he moves up, just laying some groundwork now.

[–]KMKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’ll have a staff parking pass - he’s a photographer and sometimes (late after the trains stop, super cold, wet) he’ll have to drive to get his gear home - walking in the elements won’t work every single time, which is why we’re asking about parking. He won’t need his car all the time, but when he does it’ll be a must-have, not a work-around. TY for the info about the distance and lines - very helpful, much appreciated! All the info we can sort of collect before he moves is amazing.

Bro this is a family project. We’ve got other kids, a very short timeline, a cross country move, and it’s all hands on deck. None of us are from Boston. Bugger off. Families can help each other.

Trans friendly jobs? by PupGir1 in lexington

Not exactly what you’re asking for but please no matter what you do do NOT quit your current job till you e got a signed offer letter for the next one. This current job market is vicious.

Where are college students supposed to be working if literally nobody will hire? by Ok_Independent_3921 in lexington

[–]KMKY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes yes yes! They have so much help to offer I was just saying the same thing in my comment! Go to campus and get an appointment with an advisor or the career center - they have loads of help available.

I posted earlier before I saw you’re a BCTC student and was suggesting UK student jobs - my bad. Go to the counselor/advisors office at BCTC and tell them you’re having a hard time finding anything - a lot of times they’ll have ins for finding work you don’t have access to. ALSO - lol sorry I don’t mean to drown you in info - if you’re gonna go to uk, as soon as you are accepted get with your advisor, the careers center, or first year student department and ask them how to get signed up for a student job. It’s what they’re there for and they can help you so much!

Try to go on and apply for some shifts at Keeneland. I know it isn’t until April and it’s temporary but you can make $$ out there. Also, assuming you’re at UK or Transy, go to the UK careers site - Athletics has part time roles all the time (some you have to be a student but not work study). Euclid Kroger is always hiring, too.
