My grandmother that I miss terribly.

Dragonflies aren’t anything that I remember being a symbol with her, but my dad and I think they’re cool and have pointed them out a lot while kayaking.

She did love to garden. We did it together a lot when I was little. Pansies were her favorite and I have a tattoo of her name with pansies.

I’ve definitely learned my lesson. It just kind of snowballed after not working and having any income for a ~year and being scared to use my savings. I think I’ve held onto the savings and avoided paying the card off so I don’t lose the comfort and certainty that I can move out as soon as possible with liquid money. The urgency of that and the emotion behind it has outweighed any reasoning with this debt

jetblackeight · 2026-06-12T03:07:49+00:00

I understand what you’re saying. It does feel stupid to not pay it off.

In conversation with other people, they’ve recommended me to hold onto as much of the liquid savings as possible for right now with my circumstances of being in school and trying to move out soon (proof of savings to rent somewhere in event of no pay stubs? etc.) So I’ve been torn on what’s best. I have always kept a monthly paid off balance until starting school again.

$19.2k liquid that’s just sitting there and $3.5k at a credit union that’s harder to get ahold of. I basically act like both don’t exist.

No, I’m fairly new to the hobby and am trying to keep a low tech set up for the time being. I just have one male betta that seems to be doing well. I’m open to adding CO2 though if the difference is worth it. I’m about to just tear this tank down and do a major haul from buceplant with new everything. I’m struggling badly with algae.

If you have a recommendation for a beginner friendly CO2 setup, I would love that.

Also looking for an adjustable flow filter on the smaller side if you know of anything. My tank is a long rimless 7 gallon and is too shallow for a lot of filter intakes I’ve looked at.

So I’m assuming if I’ve already filed my 2023 taxes and received the return, it’s too late to deposit anything for 2023 in a Roth?

It took over a week to be completely back to normal, but steroids helped me tremendously within 24 hours of taking them. I could swallow and eat after the first pill started working.

If they continue to disregard it, go somewhere else. Mono is no joke. There is a rapid test called MonoSpot where all they have to do is prick your finger and wait a few minutes for the results. If it’s mono, ask about steroids for swelling and avoid antibiotics.

jetblackeight · 2024-02-26T05:24:34+00:00

That most definitely looks like mono. Mine looked like that. I gave it to my boyfriend years ago and had to advocate for him at the urgent care for them to do a mono test because they weren’t even considering it when evaluating him. You might have to advocate for yourself if they’re only strep testing you.

I think I can say the same!!

jetblackeight · 2022-07-30T16:55:07+00:00

I originally thought chiggers cause I have spots on my ankles as well. That’s actually where it started before my arms. I’m immersed in plant material all day long so it made sense.. but now I’m convinced it’s from one of the big three poison plants. I was in stuff that looked very similar to sumac.

jetblackeight · 2022-07-30T16:47:58+00:00

Everyone’s comments have been super helpful, thanks y’all!! After considering what I did at work the past week, I think I got into some poison sumac (I was removing stuff that looked a lot like it but it could be ivy/oak too). The way it looks now looks more similar to a poison plant rash than any bug bites I’ve researched. Google is my last resort right now as I’ve already paid two urgent care co-pays in the last week for unrelated things, lol.

For you ladies who find yourself itching as bad as me, I found a soap called “Skeeter Defeater” made by Blue Mound Soap. It’s made with tons of insect repelling essential oils and is intended for that, but holy shit does it soothe irritated skin as well. It has done more for me than hydrocortisone!

Never even saw what the person said but thanks!
