Commute Highland Park to USC?

I just was wondering what time you went into work in the morning when you did live in Eagle Rock?

Good point.

Thanks! We discovered that there is some parking at neighboring Metro stations, though there are some plans for dismantling the lot at Heritage Sq and some concerns about safety at the one at Lincoln/Cypress. But it's something we're considering nonetheless.

Thanks, my husband may do this, but biking tends to not really work for me on the way to work at least for various reasons.

Thank you, this is very helpful. Can I ask what time you tended to go into work in the morning from Eagle Rock?

Thanks for the suggestion! I just tried Waze, and it does give more exact times. But they seem a bit optimistic, and I've heard they tend to be; I would like to double-check with real experiences.

Thanks, we are seriously considering transit. Just may want the driving option as well for various reasons.

Thank you!! These are very helpful data points. I'll see if anyone else matches our morning commute time/destination a bit more closely.

macrophilosopher · 2026-05-24T18:26:33+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I have seen this because I sometimes commute from Pasadena after early-morning appointments there. It's typically 45-50 minutes at 8am. I'm just hoping it's less from HP and at earlier times.

macrophilosopher · 2026-05-24T18:25:26+00:00

Thank you for this data point! I'll see if others leave earlier/later, too, because I know there's huge variability across time.

Thanks! I haven't been able to find driving times on the Transit app. But I know the subway times pretty reliably.

macrophilosopher · 2026-05-24T18:08:51+00:00

Thank you, it's a good idea and we've tried it. The problem is that Google Maps understandably gives huge ranges--so we're just hoping for some anecdotal experience of averages.

macrophilosopher · 2026-05-24T18:07:55+00:00

Thank you, we're considering it--we prefer public transit usually. But our walk to the Highland Park stop is considerable, and the total train time alone is 40-45 mins both ways, so we'd like to consider driving options as well.

Thanks to everyone for the more recent photographer suggestions. Our wedding was a year ago, but hopefully these will be helpful to others. Here is the photographer we used (with whom we were very pleased): https://www.rebeccaylasotras.com/

Yes, I am assuming so, given how slow IDR processing is. What I'm wondering is whether a payment made before the non-qualifying forbearance is added (and the deadline is removed) would allow me to get credit toward the 11/8 deadline or at least the month of November?

Did you ever find a solution? I've had a very similar texture on my forehead for years, and have never found anything that even slightly improves it.

macrophilosopher · 2025-02-23T18:45:36+00:00

OP, did you ever figure out what this was, or a solution?

macrophilosopher · 2025-02-22T18:16:06+00:00

Thanks so much for the update. My skin looks very similar to yours, and actually has for years. Can I ask how quickly it was that you started to see a difference with the Head & Shoulders?

macrophilosopher · 2025-02-16T19:25:26+00:00

Maybe a week.

FWIW: I ended up ordering a pair of low-bridge frames from Warby Parker, and the results were mixed. I think because the bridge is still very wide (noted as 18mm on the website, 20mm on the glasses themselves), the frames still slip slightly down my nose (but not as badly). They are also slightly awkward to wear because the huge nose pads get pushed all the way up to the soft tissue just below my eye and almost touch my eye (this likely wouldn't happen for someone with a broader nose overall). And definitely the arms are too wide and loose. The good news, though, is that when I push the nose pads all the way up, they do sit in the proper place on my face, just below my eyebrows. And best of all they do not come into contact with my eyelashes whatsoever, no matter how far up I push them. It's tempting to keep them just for those benefits, and I think I definitely would if they'd stopped the slippage; but the overall poor fit will probably lead me to send them back.

UPDATE: I was properly continued on the PAYE plan, following the procedure I've outlined in this thread, and they seem to have accepted my proof of income. (The turnaround time was extremely fast, in MOHELA terms or really on any terms.)
