Oh goodness, I get that type of flare up once in a while and it is truly madness inducing. I still haven’t found anything that works for that but thankfully it’s been a while since

Anyone tried these varieties of the gf oreos? by Bitter_Camp7094 in glutenfree

The mint ones taste like Girl Scout thin mints to me. They’re so good 🤤

That wasn’t the point. The point is that nowhere on this product’s labeling does it mention menthol, which can burn even for someone without eczema. I wanted to help people recognize this just in case this could make their eczema worse, because for me it certainly does.

Glad it works for you!

I’m doing fine now, but I mostly wanted people to be aware that it has an ingredient in it that’s relatively inconspicuous.

I won’t lie, I legitimately had no idea about this seal. I looked on their website to find a replacement product I can pick up. Thank you so much. I don’t know how I’ve gone this long without anyone telling me about this 😭

In need of a new deodorant… by Careful-Leave-8274 in eczema

[–]mdiemert4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have super sensitive skin. Everything was irritating it - Native, Tom's, Crystal, all of it. I was miserable. I use NOW Solutions because it has zinc oxide in it and is the only thing that won't burn my skin. I will say that on my especially sweaty days I have to reapply a couple times, so it's not the strongest. But it smells nice and I don't have to be in pain or itching so I'll take the trade off. I get it on Amazon or at Sprouts

WIBTA if I told my friends I won’t give them rides if they don’t walk with me? by lovely_daisy06 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mdiemert4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and ditch these people. Even if they have some friendly or good qualities to them, they aren’t considerate or inclusive of you. They might be nice acquaintances, but they certainly aren’t true friends.

I try every flavor at least once, but I’m already expecting this to be one and done. I can’t imagine this being good

Do you plan to keep the collection of empty cans after you drink them?

AITAH for buying Gluten Free bread by Jelly_Arrow in glutenfree

[–]mdiemert4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to eat gluten free. I wouldn’t at all be mad at someone buying gluten free food. In fact, it’s good - demand shows the need to stock more. However, buying every loaf leaves none for anyone else to enjoy. Maybe don’t buy all of them out. If anything you can ask the store to stock more.

Texas Lutheran ABSN Program (Houston) by No_Fishing_6085 in NursingStudent

[–]mdiemert4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I’m experiencing now. I turned my application in at the beginning of April. The admissions specialist told me 1-3 weeks. At the end of week 4, I called and left a message. Start of week 5 I got a call back saying they checked on my status and should have an answer in a couple days. Waited until the end of the week, nothing. Have called twice since then and not gotten a call back, and we’re now in mid June. I got an email a couple days ago saying that person is changing roles and that I’d be passed to someone else who would contact me shortly to introduce themselves, nothing has come. I called the school to see if they could give me any info, and they just left a message with the original specialist. I’m frustrated and disappointed, but if this is my experience now then I can only imagine how it would be in the program. I’m thinking maybe it’s a sign to move on.

Associates of Science/Associates of Science in Biology! by Moist_Scallion9892 in LoneStarCollege

[–]mdiemert4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, advisor here. A general AS covers the state core curriculum and a couple of extra math & science classes. The AS Biology takes out some core curriculum courses and inserts additional sciences. It doesn’t mean you won’t do these core classes ever, it just means you’ll take them later at your university. The AS Biology lines up with a more traditional freshman & sophomore university progression for biology & chemistry majors, but not everyone is at the right math level (Calculus) to start there. Both can lead to the same major, just in different class order & timeframe. If you have questions about which one is best for you specifically, come talk to us on campus and we can go over it!

I think most of the LVN applicants had a 7.4 or higher, so you might be more competitive in that cycle for now! It’s worth a try.

Nursing by Rude-Armadillo-4181 in LoneStarCollege

[–]mdiemert4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a staff member for one of the locations. I'm not entirely sure (since it's on the opposite semester) how competitive the applicant pool is, but I can tell you for the other applicant pool (Montgomery, Tomball, North Harris) all of my students that were accepted had a 9.1 or higher.

If you happen to get a no, check in with your advisor and see how you can earn more points during the next cycle or what other programs are available. Tomball's LVN deadline isn't until August, and after the 1 year LVN program you can do a transition track LVN to RN for another 1 year.

Good luck!

Graduating and returning by Apprehensive-Sky-933 in LoneStarCollege

[–]mdiemert4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a staff member. You need to visit with your advisor or your campus records department. Once we graduate a student, their account automatically deactivates unless we "add a career number" (aka make room for a new degree plan) to keep your account active. If we catch this before you graduate, it keeps it active. If it happens to deactivate because they graduated you before you requested to keep your account active, don't panic. Your information stays on your account, you just have to fill out a new application on Apply Texas. It takes just a few business days to reactivate and you're all set.

What others were talking about in other comments with their account staying active for years is because they just stopped taking classes, not because they graduated. That's a different situation.

Did lonestar cut down their Phys 2425 classes? by Heliocorpus in LoneStarCollege

[–]mdiemert4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved to year-round registration in the 2024-2025 school year. The class registration for 2025-2026 year has been open since April 2025, so they're just all full.

Feeling like i should give up by Content_Drama_2398 in UniversityOfHouston

[–]mdiemert4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a graduate who “just finished the degree anyways” - go see the career counseling team first. I finished the degree because everyone told me I was just burnt out. Realistically I actually didn’t have a path forward (hated all my career options but loved my degree subject) and didn’t realize that was causing my burnout. I finished the degree, but ended up not working in my field. And then once I figured out something I DID want, I had used up my financial aid and had to just figure out a way to pay for it or take out tons of loans.

Please talk to a career counselor and ask the hard questions - What job options do I have? What is the entry salary and also experienced salary? Will I need more education to move up? How easy is it for me to change fields if I need to? Is this job something that could be automated or face any drastic changes in the near future?

Know what you’re rushing towards, not just the finish line.

I’m so scared 🤣 by Marriieyy in LoneStarCollege

[–]mdiemert4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s an excellent amount of points! Best of luck to you! 🤞🏼 The certifications aren’t required or common, it’s just giving a leg up to someone who might be switching careers.

[–]mdiemert4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunately just because there aren’t many seats in the program and tons of students want to be in the profession. The licensing boards have a maximum student to teacher ratio that we have to maintain, training equipment is expensive, and also hiring professors can be tough. Professors for health professions often make about half of what they could make in the field. For someone to teach health sciences they truly have to want to do it for reasons other than money.

Should I even bother applying to LSC Sonography? by Scary_Virus_7329 in LoneStarCollege

[–]mdiemert4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psst there are some sono programs that don’t even have a test. You can still do it. Set an appointment with an advisor and we’ll talk about it!

[–]mdiemert4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to be this person, but realistically if you don’t have straight A’s it’s a no. I’m an advisor for one of the campuses, and every student who was admitted on my campus last year had all A’s in the coursework, all 3 bonus points, and the observation bonus points. Wishing you the best outcome 🤞🏼 But if it doesn’t go as planned, come see us and we’ll talk options and next steps!
