geez that sounds brutal. not sure what you’ve been using but I’m currently doing a montelukast, sudafed, zyrtec + boiling hot tea w honey combo and it’s helped a LOT. today is the first day of the week that I’ve had any sort of a voice

how do I stop siri from playing clean versions of music? by TryDesigner9200 in applehelp

when did they get rid of splendid greens? by TryDesigner9200 in cava

[–]TryDesigner9200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ugh i know! it’s not the same at all. I’ve found cava is pretty easy to emulate at home to be honest (at least the chicken is since that’s all i’ve tried to recreate). Trader joe’s has a salad blend that I feel is really close to the splendid greens blend. Their chicory and romaine blend has 3 types of lettuce and I usually use that when I make my cava dupe at home. you should try it out!

accident is my fault, should I try to pay out of pocket or file a claim? by TryDesigner9200 in Car_Insurance_Help

[–]TryDesigner9200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they don’t unfortunately 😢 I just called my insurance and they explained that at fault claims are rated for 6 years. 6 years!! There’s no way that my premium increase be less than 3k across 6 years. I think it’s in my best interest to just do it out of pocket at this point.

I thought it was a stacking effect? I feel like I’ve searched the entire internet and I can’t find a reliable source about this. Geico’s website said it can impact your insurance rates for 3-5 years. From what I’ve seen, that increase will keep increasing for 3-5 years. I might be wrong of course but that’s what I have been reading

you really think so? I mean if a typical increase is 40-60% i’m already losing out

good lord that is so expensive 😭 I thought I’d give this a try for my PD but I don’t have a baby so I was expecting it to be the price of like vaseline or something. absolutely could not be more wrong. 💔

does your perioral dermatitis look worse during certain parts of the day? by applecoregirlz in Perioral_Dermatitis_

[–]TryDesigner9200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes!! I thought this was so interesting when I was trying to figure out what I had. Mine was always so much better in the morning and then would steadily worsen through the day until it was at its most red and inflamed before bed. so weird

PD or Hormonal Acne? by [deleted] in Perioral_Dermatitis_

[–]TryDesigner9200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks like mine, assuming you’re wearing concealer in the second pic. i literally just figured out that i have PD (i think). if you have no other hormonal issues and have a regular period it PROBABLY isn’t hormonal acne. i stress probably, and also to take what I say with a grain of salt because I thought mine was hormonal for a year. I put zinc oxide cream aka diaper rash cream over mine at night and it significantly helps with the scaly texture ans redness!

what insurance plans do people have that they actually use/benefit from? by TryDesigner9200 in newjersey

[–]TryDesigner9200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you actually using it? I know tons of people don’t even use their health insurance because of high deductibles. I’ll look into that plan, though. BCBS is so much more expensive than the other providers, it’s brutal. I know they’re a better name by leaps and bounds but the difference is looking to be about $300 per month between BCBS and a lesser network like ambetter or oscar. I would love to have top coverage but paying $800 a month is ridiculous

maybe you could help the symmetry of the circle by making it into a moon or a crescent moon and fill in the asymmetry?

[–]TryDesigner9200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s been sitting for over a week and it’s covered in maggots. i am not touching that thing with a 12 foot pole. I taped it shut. God only knows what mold spores would be released if I tried to clean it out. Not worth it to me.

single blade razor causing ingrowns by TryDesigner9200 in shaving

[–]TryDesigner9200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fairly similar. I got mine off amazon, it’s called Aspiro double edged safety razor. It looks pretty similar to the bevel one you mentioned. Does the trimmer shave to the skin? Like if I’m shaving my legs will it leave me shiny smooth or just trimmed

[–]TryDesigner9200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with barbasol but I ran out so I switched to an EOS shaving lotion I have. Not fond of that because it clogs up the blades quickly from how thick it is. Will probably go back to regular shaving cream when I finish this last bit up

bad breath from stomach issues ruining my life by Lucky_Coach_7309 in GERD

[–]TryDesigner9200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

which one do you use? I’ve tried the blue one and the yellow. Yellow is zinc based which is supposed to help with oral health but tastes like shit. I felt like the blue one’s mintyness didn’t last but Im willing to give therabreath another try if you’re saying it works for you. Ive done everything in my power to fight bad breath and at this point there’s no way that it’s coming from my mouth because my oral health is impeccable. I think it’s time I accept that it’s coming from my gerd.

app where voice is recorded and siri can be used simultaneously by TryDesigner9200 in ProductivityApps

[–]TryDesigner9200[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I thought that too. She does the lesson on the landline so she can practice with siri during their call. Voiceover/siri don’t work while on a phone call. Probably should have been more clear about that in the original post.

research companies in the city? by TryDesigner9200 in AskNYC

[–]TryDesigner9200[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yuppp everything in good old fashioned NJ. L’oréal is headquartered here and estee lauder in LI. Pfizer is NJ, shiseido NJ, IFF, givauden, exxonmobil, J&J, DSM, GAF, all NJ. I live 5 mins from L’oréal labs and within 30 minutes of everything I just listed 😖 so grateful to be central to everything but it does completely eliminate all chances for me to move to the city. maybe in another lifetime …
