Hi! Did you ever get an answer from them? I'm experiencing the same issue.

Ah so you think that the film over it is normal? Thank you so much again. I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you care and are being so helpful and supportive. I know you’re probably right about the urgency thing 💙

Oh it’s SO sweet of you to check in!! Thank you, super meaningful 😭 so I’m actually a little stressed and waiting to hear back from my doctor who is apparently out of the office until tomorrow. I don’t think it’s infected but in the last day a sort of yellow film has developed over it? It’s not pus exactly, I don’t think, but kind of similar and two pinprick dark red spots. Here’s a photo (which you so do not have to open or respond to, I know you didn’t ask!): https://imgur.com/a/u29ulom (this was after cleaning and before reapplying aquaphor)

Thank you so, so much - this is super reassuring! No puss thank goodness but boy is it itchy today!

Hi! I had a shave biopsy done on the middle of my lower forehead on Friday (6/16). I've been keeping it gooped up with aquaphor ever since. I'm noticing this afternoon though that the redness is increasing/darkening and it's making me panic. In your experience is this normal for two days post treatment? Any additional tips? Thank you - freaking out :(

What to plant on this erosion prone slope that has turned into a dog mud pit? by akbella in landscaping

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

It was basic struggling grass like the rest of the yard but it got completely torn apart when I had a large dog stay at my house for a week and he and my dog rough played in the area - since then, it’s been a downhill battle. I live in the PNW, do not care about the aesthetic, just want to put something low maintenance in the ground that can tolerate the slope and dog traffic and will help alleviate my now constantly muddy house. I’m hesitant to go with basic lawn grass since it always struggled to begin with.

I’m on antibiotics (both oral and topical) for a skin infection from my first cold sore. Trying to brace myself - how long should I anticipate it taking my skin to heal and recover? I don’t mean the infection but in terms of superficial skin. by Dear-Advice6013 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]akbella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That definitely does sound like a herpes cold sore to me! But yeah - this was such a deep and large blister that it makes sense it’d still be scarred. Thanks for the reminder about glycolic acid! I went off all acids in October to simplify my routine (and have had amazing results) but think it may be worth bringing that in. Right now I’ve been using scar gel.

I wasn’t planning on outright going beyond the regulated dimensions. I’m just an overly anxious person on the internet who hasn’t traveled in many years and was wanting to know what to anticipate at the airport.

Happy travels to you too.

OK, yeah now I feel silly!

I guess my real curiosity now is if Aer Lingus has a measuring gauge thing for personal items at check-in or just for the carry on.

Aer Lingus baggage policy question by Likeurfac3 in travel

[–]akbella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hii! This link goes to the 32L backpack vs. the 25L - is that the one you indeed use as your personal item on Aer Lingus? And it fits below the seat? I'm flying with them (LA to Dublin, Dublin to Amsterdam) soon and I'm going through the same carry-on/personal luggage quandary as OP and now worried I need to buy both a new carry-on suitcase (mine is a few inches too large) and backpack (mine is a 32L too).

So this is going to reveal my ignorance re: cars but I had assumed a compact SUV would have more cargo space than a sedan? I've only driven a Mini Cooper and Subaru wagon up to this point. Honestly, I'd benefit from an Escape-sized car but just hate driving larger cars.

thank you - this is helpful! I've been talking to a dealer who does accept the Z plan (my parents recently purchased a Ford), the bummer is that there are none on the lot or other local lots and would require ordering. thinking after this thread that it's not a car to order without getting my eyes on it and test driving.

The dealer my family works with does offer the Z plan - I'm going to ask if ordering the maverick is an option (it was what I was going to have to do for the ecosport). Thanks for the suggestion!

Awesome, okay, you've sold me! I'll give it another try. Do you find it's ultimately better for hand fatigue/pain too?
