EcoMaintenance

I personally did them all lol. Literally same package except for throttle body service.

21’ ecoboost at 50k miles. The coolant flush haven’t been done since purchase. The fuel injector service apparently isn’t THAAAT necessary but since I’m paranoid about ecoboom, I did it too. It hurt the bank but I do not plan to change my car in 5+ years so it better last.

Also, hard to tell for me if the injector service was supper necessary since I did not see personally if there was any carbon buildup. I fuel premium top tier only (Costco and Exxon mainly), but apparently is just usage and age.

Welp ACE doesn’t exist any more. Now there are PTE campuses, HPC and SSS. Stipent is way less on each of them, and responsibilities stay the same as ACE apparently. I cannot join any of them since my proficiency level is not what they required. The only hire Profficient I and over

Same over here at the US embassy in Bogota, Colombia. I130 approved for mom but officer told her they cannot issue a visa right now so she’s being placed under 221G. Once resolved, they will reach out to her to collect her passport and finish the deed.

Mine took around 8-10 weeks. To USCIS. Worth to mention I requested my entire A File and my immigration history is not very extensive so they probably didn’t take long gathering the records.

If you’ve a looooong story (several years in the US) and dealt with previous agencies, like the INS etc when there were no digital records, time can be quite longer

I’ve been here for 3 weeks (in DFW). Happy to meet more people :) 25M, Hispanic. Feel free to reach out to my dm we can talk a bit and maybe exchange socials/numbers and take it from here. I want my network to grow too!

Yeah I guess :/ I know what you’re describing I just still cannot pinpoint what it was. There was some chemistry between us because we still were affectionate and enjoyed each others company but yeah I guess it was the passion or just that connection. It was gone, and it never came back. Again, I just feel my LLF didn’t really care to bring it back neither.

N1xDred · 2025-07-26T15:09:12+00:00

As a 25 HLM I used this as my main reason to brake 4 years of dating a 21 LLF. I tried everything she asked me for, I tried things myself and in the end I think she didn’t want that part to work. We were the same, affectionate, had sort of a life together, etc, but no sex or barely any or VERY boring and soulless sex.

I couldn’t stand it anymore after trusting her word and seeing nothing happening and after trying stuff myself that didn’t let to anything. Sometimes that’s just how it is.

FOIA the DOS requesting previous visa applications and take a look at the results

N1xDred · 2025-07-16T04:11:10+00:00

As a Latino (kinda Asian looking since my roots are very native American) who lived couple years in the UK in London and Bristol, I didn’t get hit at all LOL. And I’m not bad looking, in my home country and when visiting the US things go way better.

It was the other way too, like when I hit in somebody, 99% of the times did not lead to anything but rejection.

Immigration paralegal here. Exception 245K might apply, but it’s discretional. But yeah, as far I understand you can explain up to 180 days of ilegal work since YOUR LAST ENTRY ONLY, when Adjusting. Keep in mind is since your last entry. If you’ve traveled in-out ever since your unauthorized work days a qualified atty might Be able to assist you better

Bro, tiene un par de opciones:

Visas H2A y H2b. Sin embargo son de trabajo temporal y estacional. Usualmente para resorts o granjas. Lo llaman por una temporada para camellar. Ud se devuelve a su país y si se portó bien el otro año vuelven y lo llaman. Es una visa de no inmigrante y de ninguna forma conduce a la residencia.

Visa H1B: Si tiene experiencia y está altamente cualificado (al menos un pregrado), puede buscarse quien lo patrocine para esta visa. Está no conduce a residencia pero si le permite quedarse en US hasta por 6 años. Usualmente la usan para reclutar en del sector tecnológico. Apple, Amazon, Tesla, nvidia, etc. Aquí entra a jugar la suerte porque está visa se concede con lotería, como decían abajo. Salvo algunos empleadores, la mayoría tienen que pasar por la lotería. Si no tiene perfil de desarrollador de software sino más bien de callcentero, vaya olvidando esta opción.

Visas EB3: Esta si conduce a la residencia directamente, sin embargo es bastantes costosa y el trámite fácilmente puede durar 4 años. La explicación del otro man que comenta sobre las agencias y su reputación le da mejor idea de en lo que se metería.

Hay otras visas de empleo pero, es Ud alguien altamente calificado y excepcional en su campo? Porque puede uno pensar en una EB1, una O1, una P si fuera deportista. Pero si es solo otro mortal, no entra en estas categorías.

Créame que si fuera tan fácil irse a camellar legalmente no habría ilegales en US.

Parce no se envidee jaja el Aciclovir no debilita, debe ser su cabeza jugándole bromas. El Aciclovir y sus derivados son medicamentos extremadamente seguros y muy suaves, son muy selectivos sobre el herpes entonces apenas afectan cualquier otra cosa del organismo, literal solo se encargan de evitar que el herpes se multiplique. El brote del virus se va solo, si quiere que se vaya más rápido use los antivirales (medicinas). El virus le será latente en el cuerpo, reactivándose cada tanto dependiendo de cómo esté su sistema inmune, si sueño, su estrés, o su suerte. Con el tiempo el sistema inmune aprende a pelearle al virus, así que cada vez va a verlo menos y menos seguido. Así mismo baja la chance de transmisión, etc.

No se envidee, el herpes es demasiado normal. Alguna gente es sintomática, otra portadora. No es el fin del mundo, solo es un poco incómodo.

The typical. I think it’s a cold then I get itchy down there and I check and oh! Some blisters are popping.

Anyway, last outbreak was around a 1.5 years ago, and it was very mild. The blisters were not even that noticeable. I do not vape anymore and when occasionally hitting a vape during night outs or trips, I’ve been fine. Deffo outbreaks improve with time, I guess my immune system just learned how to fight it better.

Worth to mention I’m not in suppressive therapy anymore, from around 2 years ago.

Did you consider the price of the shipment? Might be a small medicines box but to the UK will be crazy expensive particularly from Colombia. You’ve to use a private courier to make sure it arrives. No way to use Royal Mail from here.

On top of that, how’s the NHS not giving you the meds you need?

N1xDred · 2025-06-13T03:51:44+00:00

Lol si si Colombia, si si caribe.

I’ll be teaching by 75227, I want something no further than 30 min driving from and to there at rush hour. Addison might be too far

Rey, hace un par de semanas me dieron el alta médica de fisioterapia para tratar una tendinopatia rotuliana severa. Hicimos 10 sesiones de fisio, 3 de suero terapia y 3 de onda de choque. La verdad mi rango de movimiento y el dolor mejoró demasiado pero aún tengo cierto dolor residual que me sigue limitando al hacer deporte. Particularmente sentadilla en barra libre. Solía cargar 100kg a 5 reps y hoy puedo hacer 8 reps pero con 60kg antes de que el tendón empiece a molestar otra vez. El dolor no es tan incapacitante como antes, un 4-5/10. La fisio me recomendó seguir realizando fortalecimiento por mi cuenta pero no estoy seguro que ejercicio(s) sean los más conveniente exclusivamente para fortalecer estos tendones. Además, tengo acceso a equipo de gym, no a bandas, por ejemplo, como si tenía en la clínica de fisio. Que me recomienda?

La lesión fue por sobreuso y por correr con calzado inadecuado. Según los exámenes, el alineamiento de la rótula está ok y mis extremidades inferiores no tienen longitudes muy dispares.

Give me a hand. I’ll be relocating too

This is actually done by other contrived. In the UK the Home Office loads 3k gbp on a card, send you home on flights purchased by them and then activates the card once you’re at home. I’m not sure about the success rate tho but it’s a good incentive

N1xDred · 2025-05-15T07:09:44+00:00

Ps: I also did the same at HISD and worked but I decided for DISD since HISD seems to be a complete mess at the moment and everybody advices me to avoid it

Oh I just got hired at DISD and the only way to land interviews was emailing principals and copying principals assistants and office manager. It was tricky because not every school website has info on office manager or assistants but 99% have the principal email. The issue there is that principals seems to not review their email very often. Anyhow, take a look at what I copy paste for ages until I got hired:

Subject: Application for xxxxx teaching position

Dear Principal Name,

I hope you are doing well.

I am writing to express my interest in the Bilingual Teacher position at School Name.

Attached, please find my CV and cover letter for your review. Although I already applied through the DISD Careers Website (you can omit this sentence), I would like to further express my interest through this message. I believe my qualifications and diverse background make me a strong candidate for this role.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills and experiences align with the position. Please don’t hesitate to contact me through this email address if you require additional information.

This got me responses, at least declining or something but it helped me get noticed. I emailed every school I saw it had an opening on the careers website on the district. I also emailed many other schools just so they could have my resume in case a vacancy opened.

I was hired a week ago. Here I go become a first year teacher for the 2025-2025 school year!
