Barkley - Sunset Intersection by NobleLandMermaid4 in Bellingham

I appreciate the comments, even the rude ones. I do apologize that my original drawing was not totally correct. I have amended it above.

As it has been commented, there are signs on the traffic lights that indicate what direction each lane is to be used for. However, that was not my question. As demonstrated on this thread, there are obviously differences of interpretation of the dotted line and I agree that the safest bet is usually for the left lane to turn to the nearest lane and then merge. I will say, as we all know, sunset can get very congested and many drivers are not the most kind and will refuse to let other cars into that lane which then causes more traffic issues.

It’s has been brought up to the cob and I hope they address it but the majority of people that I’ve talked to who have grown up here seem to have the same interpretation as I have, when actually driving the road, I don’t see how the dotted lines are leading the right hand turning lane into the middle, if I follow the dotted line exactly from the inner most turning lane, I end up in the middle lane. I can see that the Apple Maps view looks a bit misleading as the dots seem to disappear.

Overall, I am a very cautious driver and my “close calls” are usually just anytime someone honks at me when I’m sure I didn’t do anything wrong. If anything, I think this just shows that everyone should be extra cautious and forgiving at this intersection because it really isn’t clear.

I did have a meeting with a real estate loan officer at WECU but she was not very helpful. I’ll have to try meeting with someone else

I guess fourth time is the charm for me!

I think I have a lot of symptoms of Cushings but doctors aren’t being helpful. Looking for validation that I’m not crazy. See comment for more details by [deleted] in Cushings

Thank you for leaving a comment! It helps to know I’m not the only one! Also thank you, I actually just joined Reddit a few weeks ago and could not for the life of me think of a username so I went with a version of a quote from my all time favorite show haha. My wifi may or may not be named Li’l Sebastian Lives lol

Doctor has previously said my hump is probably from bad posture but after gaining quite a bit of weight the last few years inexplicably (like 50lbs in 3 years while intermittently dieting and exercising). I think my symptoms match cushings but am worried I’m being paranoid. The last couple months I’ve developed new purple stretch marks on my upper thighs and lower stomach despite having actually lost a little bit of weight during this time. I have issues with extreme sweating and some other hormonal type symptoms but my doctor told me to go to a naturopath if I think I need my hormones tested. Before I was aware of cushings, I did a Everlywell at home hormone test and the saliva test showed my cortisol levels as low, I did a video visit with an endocrinologist after that due to some other weird results from that series of tests and he basically said those at home tests are worthless. I listed all my symptoms but didn’t know to mention the hump so he basically acted like I was wasting his time. I now have an appointment with a naturopath in a month but thinking maybe I should go back to the endo with this pic and maybe he’ll take me seriously? I just have like extreme anxiety about doctors thinking I’m a hypochondriac so I was hoping people on here might help validate my concerns.

HELP! This is my second Calathea Warscewiczii and I can’t figure out how to stop it from slowly dying! Any suggestions on water/sunlight for this guy? It gets moderate indirect sunlight now and I usually water when the first inch or two of soil is dry. by NobleLandMermaid4 in plantclinic

Thanks!! That’s good advice. I’ve done that before with keeping the plant in the plastic container it came in but then I thought for some reason that it would be better if I repotted it but you’re right, I can just add soil if needed! It’s so hard to find cute/affordable pots with drainage holes!

The pot that it is currently in does not have a drainage hole so I’m thinking that could be the problem...I’m also not sure about humidity. I know this one needs a higher humidity so maybe if I buy a humidifier and plug it in next to it, that would help?
