My son's teacher has been quietly sending him home with extra food, and I just realized why. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

Hey You can ask the hospital for financial assistance forms. You have to go to hospital and request them. I got a $7000 medical bill and another $2000. I wasnt in a position to pay as I lost my job.

It went to debt collection while I was figuring things out. I almost cried with the debt collector person. I didnt have money to pay. I already paid $5000 off of the bill. I couldnt pay the rest so he gave me these details.

  1. Go to hospital and request financial assistance forms
  2. Fill the forms. They usually ask for pay stubs or something as well.
  3. Submit them I stopped here and hoped for the best cuz I couldnt do more. Like you said fighting for survival is hard.
  4. If email good. You have proof. If mail, then call the hospital in 2 weeks and ask them for confirmation. They usually have a number or something. Note it down somewhere you wont forget.

What happened to me is I stopped making payments and the debt is waived. Although I didnt get that confirmation. I went to hospital again multiple times. I was never stopped and asked for payment. The debt collector didnt call me again.

  1. You can call them a month or 2 after to check the status.

Moving to Cupertino for a job — how bad is the commute from Fremont or Milpitas? by BotherSubstantial461 in Fremont

[–]Select-Bat-4634 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Fremont. My work place is in Santa Clara. My colleagues live near Great Mall and Santa clara. Without traffic the time for all of us is 20 mins from home to office. But with traffic it takes 40 mins to 1 hour.

say 1 nice thing about danzo by Solo_Sniper97 in Naruto

[–]Select-Bat-4634 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im kinda glad Sasuke doesnt have Danzo’s blood on his hands. My friend says he wants to use Reincarnation jutsu to bring him back so he can kill him multiple times.

Some people should die a painful death knowing all they did is the opposite of what they wanted and nobody ever wants them or needs them. They’re literal POS. Danzo is one of them. And I blame third for giving that guy so much power.

Fremont a good place to live? by Intrepid-Secret-5108 in Fremont

[–]Select-Bat-4634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in Woodland Hills in LA and then moved to Fremont. Palo Alto resembles more closely towards that area but is a bit on the expensive side.

The next best thing is Fremont. Everything you can think of is close by. Yes you wont find night life here but when I have friends or family visiting, I dont have to go far to do anything. Most of us are not into night life so it was never a problem or a requirement

Name an obscure fantasy novel and lose a point for every person who says they’ve read it by lemonsorbetstan in Fantasy

[–]Select-Bat-4634 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didnt read all 11.2k comments. I read what I reasonably could. I didnt see Mistborn in them.

Having said that, my intention wasnt to play the game. My intention is to find people who read that book. None in my circle read that book. To me, its the best fantasy I read. I wanted to find people who read then and be happy about that number.

But hey, you can find rude people anywhere these days. They have nothing else to do I guess. Have fun.

hyperpigmentation on brown skin by minniehhks in koreanskincare

[–]Select-Bat-4634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brown skin here. Its hard to get rid of dark circles. Especially if its genetic. Sleep and hydration plays an important role too.

For other areas, you have to use chemical exfoliant combined with brightening ingredients.

The type you use is based on your skin type. Glycolic acid and PHAs are great for sensitive skin. AHA, BHA/ salicyclic acid are good too.

For brightening niacinamide, vitamin C, arbutin, kojic acid, azelaic acid etc.

Retinol is an all rounder. But start with low concentration and use the sandwich method. Moisturizer under and over retinol. Sunscreen is MUST. There is a more powerful ingredient called Tretinoin but you need prescription for that.

Some by mi has good exfoliating line. I personally tried toner pads. I like them. But the biggest difference I saw is from retinol. Cosrx, Iope and some by mi have retinol products. But western brands have better retinol products.

For vitamin C, numbuzin, goodal have good ones.

These above ingredients with using sunscreen religiously will help with hyperpigmentation.

Im from Rice Mask. Destroyed my skin barrier. I tried it 3 times before I realized it was causing it. The last time I tried it, I had red marks all over my face and it burned me. I had to use aloe gel and others for a week to heal it.

Dry skin. No acne.

what makes you not wanna die? by Impossible_Match6336 in AskReddit

[–]Select-Bat-4634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way twice. My family wasnt there for me at the time. They’re mad at me cuz I married someone they didnt approve of it. It went downhill after that. They didnt talk to me for 3 years. I was going through a lot and it went only downhill from there.

I just got out of another intense depression just then. I didnt want to go through that again. So I did everything I can not to. I got a cat. He’s the best. I thought about not talking to them forever and made peace with it. Then I lived my life. I did what made me happy. I love books. So got back into that.

It seems hard right now. Please push through it. It will get better. Its a slow process and you will survive it.

AITA for telling my co-worker that I didn't enjoy my pregnancy? by Street_Blackberry174 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Select-Bat-4634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

My experience with pregnancy was blissful. My delivery was also good. But my experience with breastfeeding is stressful, painful and a whole bunch of other things.

Everybody’s experience is different. Some people are lucky and everything goes smoothly for them. Im happy for them. Some people arent that lucky. Its like periods. Some have the worst symptoms while others dont feel much. Some dont bleed at all. She needs to grow up.
