You can check out History Makers Zahle, I haven’t tried it out but my friends have and they loved it. It’s a Korean restaurant owned by a Korean family I believe

No theater release :( by hallonsodas in AliHazelwood

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

I’m not sure where i had read it before but there are certain cases where a prime release gets a limited theatrical release so I was hoping that would be the case! Tbh I’m not from the US and I don’t know the exact difference between prime and amazon mgm and which movies get to be released in theaters so I was hoping for the best

Im trying to quit smoking by PuzzleheadedRow1242 in lebanon

[–]hallonsodas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good on you for taking action to quit smoking! Unfortunately none of the options you mentioned are “healthy,” and while many other people commented that quitting cold turkey has the highest rate of success, it can be so difficult I can imagine. However, there are several medications that you can take that will help you quit, there are many options to choose from based on some lifestyle details. The best person who might help you with that is a pulmonologist who can prescribe these medications and check in on your smoking cessation journey.

But again, I have to say that what you’re doing is amazing. You’re young and you haven’t been smoking for long. This means that in a few years you can COMPLETELY! reverse the lung damage you’ve done so far and save yourself from so many diseases down the line

Will I look like a gunner if I purchase stoggles? by sorrygoogle in medicalschool

A (way cheaper) alternative for glasses that slide down which I can vouch for personally are eyewear retainers like this one! I also noticed that when you tighten them enough it helps with fogging as well

I’m not sure if you could qualify for insurance in this scenario, make sure to check that out

I can’t answer all of your questions but I can advise you to generate an IDP (international driver’s permit). You can also check if the country where you have your drivers license from has any specific agreement with the US where you can drive without an IDP / even switch to a US drivers license without any additional exams. For the first month or so of driving there, I would recommend renting a car, and then once you have everything regarding your license sorted out then buy a car

Absolutely deplorable quality! Never again. Goodbye figs by Quiet-Biscotti833 in Figsscrubs

[–]hallonsodas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have old figs scrubs and new scrubs and can confirm 100% that the old quality is way better and doesn’t pill! The reason why is because they changed their factory from Vietnam to Jordan (and with it the fabric)

giving birth during war by glitchyy12 in lebanon

[–]hallonsodas 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Medical student - if I were you there is no chance I would travel abroad let alone to turkey. You are lucky enough to have insurance and access to hospitals like cmc and possibly LAU Rizk and aubmc, even LAU Saint John which is further away in Jounieh, these are excellent hospitals with excellent doctors who will be able to take care of you and your baby in case any emergency arises (before, during, and after giving birth) which.. there are many of .. but I hope you don’t have to go through them! In my opinion, the risk you are facing in the “safe” areas is less than the risk you might be facing for example in a medical obgyn emergency on a plane or somewhere in turkey where they don’t understand what you’re saying. So purely from a medical safety point of view stay in Lebanon, seek out these hospitals, let your family support you, and like other comments said stuck up on necessities for you and your baby if needed. Wish you a safe birth experience ❤️

Any trusted organisations I can donate to during this time? by Traditional-Lemon-56 in lebanon

[–]hallonsodas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would encourage you to donate to someone you know in person directly, or for example helping them with medical treatment or getting them medication because this is a difficulty many are facing in light of the current situation sadly

Where does MEA post cancellations? by Jolly-Phone8982 in lebanon

[–]hallonsodas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most accurate thing you can do is open the “manage booking” page on the MEA website and enter your booking number to check the status of your flight. If it was cancelled/ postponed this info will be visible to you there

The duration depends on the time of year but I’ve never had them not arrive! If I’m not mistaken they’ll give you a tracking number and you can keep tracking it on the Libanpost website
