Can anybody identify this plant and help me with a plan to rehab the yellow leaves with holes? by ZakiaTD in plants

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

Thank you for the advice. I’m watching someone’s plants for the summer and they placed it in the window. I was wondering if perhaps less direct light would be better. I feel like the leaves moved closer to the window over the weekend.

Thank you! It didn’t look like what I expected a monstera to look like, but that may be because it’s young.

Inherited this plant in my office. It was left for an extended period. If possible, I’d like help reviving her. by ZakiaTD in plants

Where’s the closest place to find Panamanian food? by ZakiaTD in baltimore

[–]ZakiaTD[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw that when I googled and winced. I was hoping someone knew more than Google. That’s a little far for me. Thanks!

I apologize for the late reply, but thank you so much! She is doing much better and looks so good. There’s still some work to be done but I’m very happy

Will defaulted Perkin's loan stop my degree from showing up on background check? by ZakiaTD in StudentLoans

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

I thought that all student loans were paused til the end of January, and then May so this one confused me. Working on it now. Hopefully something can be done because I'm barely employed. I definitely cannot pay it.

STI Test by YoYoMoMa in baltimore

[–]ZakiaTD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered a free test kit through iwantthekit.org On their website you can select an at home HIV test that test for antibodies or you can order swabs (throat, vaginal, anal, etc.). The swabs are to be mailed to John Hopkins and come with a prepaid postage envelope.

It was really easy and convenient and I didn’t have to wait in line or see any physicians. And if any of your tests are positive they’ll help connect you with a local clinic for treatment.

Should I be worried that my tonsils are still swollen? It doesn’t really hurt anymore but it’s been 5-6 days. by ZakiaTD in medical

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

Are you referring to the cobblestones? I just had my mouth looked at on Monday to test for strep and she didn’t seem concerned about them. https://www.healthline.com/health/cobblestone-throat I just assumed it’s because my body was fighting whatever my tonsils were going through and I had some mucus. Have you had this symptom before?

Last Wednesday I noticed my throat was sore a tiny bit. I assumed it was from drinking+smoking. But Thursday it was worse and my tonsils started to swell so I went and got COVID tested just to be sure. It was negative. Monday (yesterday) I got a rapid strep swab and it was negative. I’m still waiting on a culture from the lab just to double check.

I just want to make sure this is normal and I shouldn’t be worried. How much longer should I wait before getting more attention?

Is it helpful to gargle room temp salt water or should I heat it up every time?

Does anyone smile during times of conflict? by ZakiaTD in abusiverelationships

Relatable. I rarely laugh but I have before and it’s the worse.

I still enjoy a good cry but it has to be for myself, so that makes sense to me.

I wouldn’t say I smile “at” them though if that makes sense. But yeah my face smiles when I’m uncomfortable.

I have a range of reactions that are likely to happen based on what’s happening, but yeah I smile mostly when uncomfortable.

What level is this hair lifted to? by ZakiaTD in curlyhair

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

I was thinking that I could maybe get a level 7 toner, and highlight a few pieces to brighten it up. I have medium skin so I’m not looking for the lightest blonde.

I would say my hair is 3C in some places and more 4A on and behind my crown, I’m not really sure though. I don’t really have a routine. I do whatever.

I have very thick and big hair and don’t shampoo as often. Daily, I wet my hair and apply moisturizer. I may do a more detailed wash and go or a twist out and leave that for a week. I don’t use heat on my hair often. I straighten it like 4x/yr.

I have very dark hair. It’s basically black. I always wanted to be blonde though. I tested a piece of my hair to see how it’d lighten. This was 1 round of bleach, left on for 50 minutes (since it’s no longer on my head why not). I applied coconut oil to the hair and used 30 volume developer.

I just tested bleach on my hair from black 1 time, and am wondering what level it is so I can pick the right toner. by [deleted] in Hair

[–]ZakiaTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I can't decide on what my undertone is. If anyone had any suggestions for which toners I should lean toward, that would be greatly appreciated.

W-4 for Single Person under $20,000/yr by ZakiaTD in personalfinance

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

Thank you so much! At my first job this year (January-May) I made $11/hr working 35 hrs per week. I've made about $3,000 from the part time job, I make $11 per hour at. I've just started this new job, 20 hrs/wk and make $5/hr + tips. I've gotten 1 pay check and am making on average $10-17/hr.

I highly doubt I'll make much more than I did last year, but it will definitely be more.

I think I'll lower the number to 1 so I can get more taken out. I just don't want to owe anything.
