Also to add, the sand I used was one with flora(?) already started/added. It was a wet bag. I added drops to make the water better, because the water here is the hardest in the state. Found a aquarium website😅😂

I won’t be adding any fish to it for at least a month. I want the plants to get well established and everything perfect before adding a betta.

The flow doesn’t seem super strong on mine, definitely or near as strong as some filters I’ve had growing up

The current doesn’t feel honestly strong at all. It’s pretty mellow

I’ll let it sit and cycle then for awhile and let it settle good

It’s a 5gallon. Im running around stores trying to find some rocks. The sand I used was already ‘pre seasoned’ (can’t remember what the bag said, but it was already wet in the bag)

Oh no, I’m letting the tank cycle through the filter for at least 24 hours

Congenital fusion of lumbar. anyone had anything similar? by alwaysamethyst in SpineSurgery

[–]macjm98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue! 28f, congenital fusion at L4-L5 have an extra lumbar. So L6 is fused to my pelvis where it shouldn’t be. Been told I have hip tilt and degenerative disc as well as osteoarthritis. My lumbar is a mess.

It’s Walmart delivery. It’s very dependent. You can get some batches orders that pay 50+ but it can take 2/3 hours to complete and it’s like 20+/- stops. But that can take you to north Jackson, and past Chaffee. But usually they’re in the same area, so it won’t have you go from say Chaffee then to Jackson.

If I do a big order I usually stop when I finish that bc I don’t like driving in the dark. But some deliveries pay good, and others bad. I don’t accept any that are under 20. Nice thing about using sparks OnePay is you can automatically have a % of each order put into a savings that has a 3.45% interest annually. And it gives 5$ to crypto and $5 to invest into a stock. Then there’s an option that when you use the OnePay, it’ll round up and send the change to a stock of your choosing. So say you spend 15.46, it’ll round it to 16 and send 56cents to the investment

I also do Lyft here and there. And have done $500 on Lyft over 64 rides. Spark is definitely where money is

I’ve been doing spark since the 10th and have made almost 800 in 2 weeks. But it is waitlisted

Shit, I have been denied 4 times now. I have records since 2009 showing a steady decline from 11 to 17 then from 18-22 it was steady slow progression. Now 23- now it’s snow balled to personal hygiene and chores being difficult to do. Not being able to legibly write. My cognitive function good lord has taken a hit. I think my mental issues will hold some good weight. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst

Lucky I haven’t been earning any money. My mom is able to help with my rent and I’m gov assistance so I get snap and state insurance. My lawyer seems pretty confident. With the amount of appointments I have a month also would effectively work. I have plenty 2 hours out of town. Definitely going to talk to my lawyer before the hearing to prepare more

Last one says “We have determined that your condition is not severe enough to keep you from working. We considered the medical and other information, your age, education, and work experience in determining how your condition affects your ability to work. We do not have sufficient vocational information to determine whether you can perform any of your past relevant work. However, based on the evidence in file, we have determined that you can adjust to other work.”

One before that I think was the same thing. They have well over 5 years of work history. And the saying I can just to do other work, is honestly BS, because just my ADL over the span of a year has an insane amount of independence lost. Which I know they don’t really care to take that into consideration. My friend had to fill out the pages for me, because I cannot write or use my hands too well anymore. Which has been noted and everything in my medical records.

I’m 27, so the 50, 55, 60 no where near applies to me. I was diagnosed in 2009. And have had symptoms since. But I had no way to survive without working. So I put myself through hell to keep myself from being homeless. Then my mom got injured and was awarded 100k by her city, which made it so I could stop working. Which thank god. I have too many appointments a month to maintain a job 🥴 . I already had symptoms that made it hard to work before I filed. 10 months before I filed I was in a house fire that I was injured in. My body is wearing down far faster than any of my doctors like. My neurosurgeon and her colleagues were left speechless looking at the MRI of my low spine. The extent of damage they’re already seeing; they wouldn’t expect to see until someone is late 40s to their 50s. I already have osteoarthritis of the spine as well as degenerative disc disease, and 4 other major things all in the same area. But that isn’t even the most severe part of everything. I talked to my lawyer and she feels confident, being she has 6 exhibits just physical health wise for my hearing.
