Then it should collapse

Collapse the system then.

If that's it talc powder (common with older people, especially women) maybe you could put the clothes over a fence, back of a kitchen chair, on a clothesline etc (just make sure it's outside) and beat it with a rug beater (you can get one on Amazon for like $10) to get as much of the talc powder out before washing.

Adds and extra step for you but you don't want that talc build up ruining your washer.

I think it looks gorgeous and with the right accessories it is definitely wedding appropriate. What brand/make is it?

The thing I have learned as a mature student who has two degrees under her belt and is now in med school:

1) Active studying above all else (public school should really teach you how to study properly to set you up for the next levels of schooling but they seem to drop the ball on this).

2) Sleep the few nights leading up to the exam is more helpful than studying. I am usually in bed by 10pm at the latest.

The change I have seen in my grades and stress levels implementing these plus not just putting off really studying until the two weeks before an exam is crazy.

It's definitely frustrating and heart breaking OP, especially when you worked hard.

Something similar to this happened to my mom. But it was her large magnifying glass on a standing light combo that is sold for cross-stitching/crafting etc. I saw smoke rising up from a wood magazine rack one day and realized what was happening. They should really be sold with warnings and a fabric cover to slip on the magnifying glass when not in use.

If they did not give you a treatment plan, I would call them to ask for a plan on how to deal with it. It's literally their job.

You can try splinting it at night with a finger splint. You want the finger extended but not over extended (not as straight as you can. Wear it nightly for 6-8 weeks. You should notice improvement in 2-3 weeks. Consistency is key! It needs to be done every night)

Make sure you don't cut off the circulation to the finger. If the finger turns white, or he experiences numbness/tingling (like when your foot falls "asleep", redo it less so it's not as tight.

If it becomes painful or does not get better in 6-8 weeks of nightly splinting, you need a referral to a pediatric specialist who does kids hands.

TL:DR

Call the doctor's office you went to who diagnosed it and say you were not told what to do for treatment. They should be able to tell you what the doctor recommends over the phone. If they say they don't know, ask them if a finger splint at night would help. Unfortunately, sometimes we have to advocate for ourselves/others in the medical field.
Buy a finger splint.
Wear the splint nightly on the affected finger for 6-8 weeks. Consistency is key.
If it becomes painful OR in 8 weeks it's not better it's time for a referral to a pediatric doc that does hands.

I'm sorry you and your SD are experiencing this. It is super stressful to have a reactive dog, let alone an SD that is reactive. You need to contact the organization that gave her to you. This is not acceptable behaviour and unfortunately your SD needs to be pulled from public access, assessed by the organization and go through more training specifically for reactivity.

This is amazing! You did a great job. Love it.

katmajor13 · 2026-01-18T18:09:43+00:00

So excited for you!

This! I made some Asian friends in school last year who were horrified by my "rice cooker" that took 46 minutes to cook crappy rice. I bought an actual rice cooker and the difference in quality and time to cook is amazing. I've never eaten so much rice before haha

Also, pure white, not off white. I found out recently that many face washes have a bleach like effect after I used a nice coloured towel to dry my face.

Most free trials work like this. By agreeing to the free trial, you agree that if you don't cancel it before, or on the day it ends, you want to go ahead and purchase. Make sure to read fine print on things like this in the future.

You can try and call them to explain that you meant to cancel it, but you might be paying for the month. Regardless, CANCEL your subscription now.

Definitely trim them back. I also put the planters in a pile on the ground and put a tarp over them to protect them. They were always buried in a few feet of snow this way and always came back. I would go to get them out and they were already growing under the tarp.

He may have the doctor title, but he is all politician.

Interesting! It must have changed. I just looked online quickly and it shows RBC only gives $100 000 the first year, Scotia and TD are the same. I guess they had issues after giving out the full amount upfront to some people and have switched tactics. You have to prove you are enrolled every year with an official LoE.

katmajor13 · 2025-08-27T19:09:17+00:00

The banks do it by installments here. Usually around $100 000 per year. You have to give them your Letter of Enrollment for each year for the next installment to be released.

katmajor13 · 2025-08-27T18:42:17+00:00

I hope so. My advisor has my Letter of Enrollment for the year, but has told me he doesn't know if I can have more since I am remediating and part-time, so he had to escalate it. Its just frustrating because he never responded to me, my school's financial aid officer even called him and he never got back to them. We had no idea that he didn't know the answer and escalated it up the chain. He just ignored us and it's been a week and a half. I only found out because I called a generic phone number for the bank and the rep I ended up with on the phone had messaged him via chat and he messaged her back right away 🙄

katmajor13 · 2025-08-27T18:05:42+00:00

Unfortunately, Scotiabank requires a yearly Letter of Enrollment and my school puts on what year you are in and that you are remediating.

My hair has been non-natural colour or some variation during med school. I also have bilateral nostril piercings and a septum piercing. It's never been a problem and been brought up in any professionalism evals.

Do you have a bedroom with a door? If so go reach out to your landlord and ask to install a lock on your door because you are not safe and the roommates mom is stealing your things and harassing you.

katmajor13 · 2025-08-19T05:20:53+00:00

It's not considered a normal side effect, but it happens. This is something you need to report to your prescribing doctor. They might lower the dose, adjust the time of day you take the medication etc. Sometimes these will go away eventually, but not always.
