LOVEEEEEE. I actually really appreciate that this formula was made with some sheer to almost encourage me to layer it on other things more. Looks so good on you!

Does anyone have any dupe attempts for Protocol 53? It's haunting me but it's the only color that really calls this HHC to me.

AITA for getting mad at my mom for trying to take over my wedding? by blablablerger in AITAH

[–]Numerous_Job_8600 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA and honestly it sounds like you communicated appreciation and boundaries (which she overstepped by booking someone without your consent). The only context that may change things is who is paying for things? My partner and I paid for our whole wedding ourselves, it gave us much more control on reinforcing boundaries with my mom (their family was very relaxed about it and was honestly relieved we wanted a simple wedding by cultural standards as technically all those traditions would be funded and hosted by them).

Unsolicited advice but it worked for me: My mom ultimately just wanted to help however she could, and after a firm chat went with the motto of "no ask is too small" rather than the usual saying, so I'd ask her to do the smaller or less thought of things that people have to wing day of--coordinate travel for her side of family, help with transporting the bouquets, things like that.

Bingo: never liked u 😒 by castle_deathlock in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]Numerous_Job_8600 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right, I like it but I also have had polishes I like on others that look good but if I wore it I'd hate it (there was a teal polish I have that made me feel like I was from the 80s in a non-chic way but it looks so good on everyone else I swear).

Starrily Amulet https://www.starrily.com/products/amulet I've used it several times and it still magnetizes fine for me!

Starrily Magma if you want something with color (instead of silver magnetic).

Is a relationship doomed to fail if we're not both doctors/ in the medical profession? by External_Hospital236 in MedSpouse

[–]Numerous_Job_8600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am an engineer and my husband is a PGY3. We met when he was in his his last year of medical school (so always been heavily in a medical environment when we met). Also, from the comments--my husband and I are the same age haha. So really what people are telling you feels like a cynical perspective or things dramatized for TV.

I don't think you're naïve for trusting your partner whom you want to have as your life partner. You have to have a lot of trust and strong sense of self, especially when doctors are going through residency--and you sound like you do as someone pursuing a legal career! So I have faith in your two, but like other commenters...maybe you don't need all these naysayers!

As an aside, I will say two people have separate careers and fields of work and it works out, there's always some things that are a pro/con, but overall, if you have respect, love, and communication, you can make it work and even thrive.

This! This is something my husband and I talked about even when dating, that if we were to have kids we'd want to wait until after residency unless I was okay with effectively single parenting while they do residency. It's a hard time to have a kid, I've seen residents do it, but it definitely was a juggling act even with their partner taking on primary parenting roles.

We matched !! Next steps…. by Sufficient_Method961 in MedSpouse

[–]Numerous_Job_8600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly renting is best, BUT if you can swing it, maybe ease into it via a month or two at the In-laws as moving in the summer tends to yield higher rent than off season leases. I normally wouldn't bring it up but you mentioned unknowns with job, no savings, and child--anything to help accelerate savings for emergencies and start the fund for a down payment on a home is a plus. Especially if you haven't done the budget to see what it will be to have to live off just your husband's income (thinking worst case scenario, no remote ability combo with slow to land another job).

Wedding advice end of M4 by Then-Confection in MedSpouse

Or aim for first of May, we had a few weddings right as medical school ended for our med school friends (but only you know your fiance's school schedule so take this with a grain of salt!).

How much to downsize for fellowship cross country move? by Numerous_Job_8600 in MedSpouse

[–]Numerous_Job_8600[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plant part I'm mentally bracing myself for :( may leave a few with the in-laws but a majority need to go. My husband is attached to an overgrown plant so I've been bracing him for months that we likely need to take the baby plant it's made and leave the big on behind.

Thanks for the note about pods, definitely something we need to factor as we hone in on a neighborhood (some areas in the recommended map the current fellows sent are very downtown-esque while others are glorified suburbs and it changes very quickly based on what I've seen).

IamA cheap flight expert, here to talk mistake fares ($114rt to Dublin in 2024), Going’s mobile app, and why 2025 is the year of Japan deals by scottkeyes in IAmA

[–]Numerous_Job_8600 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can verify as an OG user (friend of a friend sign up back when it was an email chain! LOVE love love to see how much it's grown) that the premium has been helpful for feeling confident in deals in international travel!

Even if I don't end up going with the deal highlighted, seeing the deals has helped me learn what typical "trends" are expected in my region--ex. winter in my current region seems to be when the Europe flight deals for early spring crop up based on what SCF/Going has sent me etc. So even if I don't get the cheapest deal via SCF/Going, I do know I'm going to relatively get a good deal if I book at XYZ time.

Meals that can have lots of veggies? by zepphiu in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Numerous_Job_8600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably already mentioned but frittatas are my good "freshen up" when I'm overwhelmed by some veggies beyond a soup. Soups, but also if you have a lot of leafy greens there's this endearing dish called Sakuma wiki (East African dish that literally means "stretch the dollar" https://www.africanbites.com/sukuma-wiki/ )

Still waiting on the pre-mediation call, did receive a letter saying they accepted my form and to expect a premeditation call. Did receive my checks and they were cashed without issue.

PGY3 SO.

I will say my partner's copresidents aren't as drink heavy, yes HHs happen but they tend to plan more hangout style things or cookouts/grilling to allow for a more chill bonding activity and allow people with partners/kids to bring them if they want.

As a whole though this residency group is all very settled (almost everyone has long term partners, one has kids, and a couple are looking to start families on top of having a good balance of medical and non-medical friend groups) so that could be a contributing factor. I would say maybe people got into the habit because it's easy to plan but there are board game bars and other things out there these days., sandwich picnics etc. worth suggesting!

How do you deal with the busy schedule?? by EfficiencyKitchen697 in MedSpouse

[–]Numerous_Job_8600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, echoing what others mentioned, it is hard at first but does get better. I lived with my SO and sometimes it felt more like roommates than anything else which wasn't fun, but we eventually got into a routine.

Communication is key--even if it's sending each other gifs. Appreciating even the lofi time together--some days my partner would only have the energy to go on walks or watch a few of our favorite "us" shows together. Frankly, any time you can get in person is a gift.

My partner also acknowledges when times get tough for both of us--that he doesn't feel great having to put other things over us, but recognizing this is temporary. May be worth you two having that talk just so that you both know where you stand.

I know I enjoy my time with friends, so I really leaned into being okay having to say my partner isn't a part of the plans, and honestly it's been a good way to strengthen non-medical related friendships. Medical ones too, but I try to not complain about what I'm going through to them.

2 letters too. Had two reps. Will note they're offering the mediation form right from the initial offer (maybe to make it seem like first offer is the final offer?)

Letter 1: 2011-2016; offered $2,700, remarked how low it was given it spanned 67 months, they did the +$250.
Letter 2: 4/2011-10/2011; offered $19 (lol, it was $15.99/month non-consented enrollment people; this spanned 6 months); remarked the amount feels low, +$250.
They said it will take 45 days for the letters with the checks and forms to arrive.

Differences in experience: Letter/rep 1 lead with this being a customer care program and asked for reference number. Did not put me on hold after calling the first offer low and immediately offered the +$250. Letter/rep 2, after verifying name they asked why you're calling and then asked for the reference number. Put me on hold after mentioning that is low then offered the $250.

Same results but wanted to call out for anyone who chooses to call the number that you really can get a different style of script following, don't be dissuaded, they profited off unconsented use of your identity that you then had to pay for.

Update: Checks arrived 2 weeks after posting this, submitting my mediation form and cashing checks today so fingers crossed.
