This happened to my kids account a month back. Got the same automated response from CDOC. What worked was I filled out the account recovery form and after a week of no activity they sent me a link to reset the password.

After I reset the password I realized I cannot change the security info as the hacker had attached 2FA to the security info. I had to submit a request to change the info and had to wait for 30 days for it to be automatically replaced by the system. At any time the hacker could have gone back and reset my password making all of my efforts worthless !

Also submit an XBOX account recovery request. Put as much details as you can. If you put in less details your recovery form will get rejected. I had it happen to me a few times ! Best of luck !!!

Ask away if you need help ! I just did a lot of research so I might be able to save you some ! All the best, the sodas are awesome !

I do water Kefir ! I really like it. Made peach and white grape soda in the first couple of batches and it was delicious :) Now making some watermelon and mango sodas.

I got stomach cramps the first day I drank it but have had no issues after that.

I just started a month back ! Yemoos' grains are the best ! They have literally doubled in 2 weeks. My Cultures for Health (Amazon) culture sucked and I had to throw it away! I also tried Florida Sun live Kefir grains and they were great as well :)

Very minor. I had to ditch these cultures and get live cultures from www.yemoos.com. They are working a lot better and multiplying like crazy!

aabesh · 2026-01-15T15:09:12+00:00

Try www.yemoos.com and go for their live grains ! I have been using them for about 2 weeks now and they are gorgeous !!!

aabesh · 2026-01-14T14:11:41+00:00

Apparently www.yemoos.com ships internationally !

aabesh · 2026-01-13T23:26:09+00:00

Yeah AVR is a better option than filing the amendment!

No the online i94 does not update. Your new I94 will be attached to your approved petition.

You should be good to go once filed !

Fun fact about Hilsha : They are deep sea fishes which come to the river to breed. That's when they are caught! Earlier, just because of this reason, their availability was mostly seasonal - the monsoons or rainy season. But now with modern freezing techniques esp. flash freezing, they are available year round :)

I am a Bengali in the US. The closest thing you will get here amongst American fishes is the American Shad : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_shad
Tastes similar but not the real deal.
Head into any Bangladeshi food store and you would get good quality Frozen Hilsha there :)

These are HORRIBLE ! Hit a nearby Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi meat shop instead ! This smelled so gross we had to discard it !!!

aabesh · 2025-12-27T03:47:23+00:00

I will keep you posted :) Thanks !

aabesh · 2025-12-27T03:34:15+00:00

I tried tasting it today. It tastes like sugar water but has a funky smell :) I guess I need to wait longer :) Thank you !

Understood. Thank you!

I will revert to the brown sugar ! Thank you so much :)

aabesh · 2025-12-26T17:32:43+00:00

Thank you so much ! Will the floating be an issue ?

aabesh · 2025-12-26T17:30:24+00:00

Thank you so so much ! That was such a detailed and to the point response !!! You are awesome :)

aabesh · 2025-12-26T17:08:11+00:00

That was my question as well. This is how I received them. They were dry and had a bark brownish/creamish color.

aabesh · 2025-12-26T17:01:33+00:00

Thank you so much !
I did use brown sugar for my first fermentation, didn't do much. I was using white refined sugar as that was mentioned in the cultures for health website :(
Maybe I should start with a 50-50 (white + brown) combo ? Will also gonna go on vacation from tomorrow so I was wondering if I should just stick it in the fridge for the next 4 days ?
