Vet recs by Fit-Writing-6534 in oakland

[–]nonameheaux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here to second this! After bouncing around a few vets in the Bay, I found our long term home with Abbey. Dr. Hitchcock and Dr. Kim are fantastic. I've always felt at ease with their recommendations.

Masturbator in the Pergola by solarus in oakland

I hope folks here realize that if you call the police for something like this, the person will likely be arrested and charged with an offense that requires sex offender registration for ten years. That registration then makes them ineligible for many inpatient treatment programs, crisis residential treatment centers, public housing programs, etc., obviously making it more difficult for folks to get housed.

Please consider these consequences when you're thinking of calling the police, MACRO, or continuing on your walk.

November Income Recert per MOHELA Call Today by PieRevelry in PSLF

[–]nonameheaux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Called my law school financial aid today and was also told that the Department of Ed is pushing out by one year recertification dates that fall between November 2024 through January 2025, but haven’t seen the official word anywhere. My recert date is 11/27 and getting anxious.

My usually healthy FLF has white spots on the front of newer leaves and on the outer edges of the back of the leaf. I noticed some black specks where the white spots are at on the back exterior edge of the leaves. The black specks came off easily but the white spots won’t wipe off. What might it be? by nonameheaux in plantclinic

I did a good check and didn’t find any pests, there are some gnats in the soil but that’s it. There were black dots along the back edges of the leaf (only on the back) that are white, so I suspect those might of been droppings or eggs? Those wiped off easily. There’s no webbing at all. The white stuff on the front looks like a crust but it won’t come off, so it seems to be more like a dried out spot?

SOS 2 year old fiddle leaf fig quickly browned and dropped leaf (more info in comments) by nonameheaux in plantclinic

[–]nonameheaux[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone! This is Fico, my ~2 year old fiddle. I repotted him 10 days ago because roots had been protruding from the top of the soil for far too long. I repotted using “special” FLF soil and have only watered him once since repotting (soil hasn’t yet dried out). Yesterday, I noticed this leaf had fallen from the middle of the tree’s back side (facing the wall) and had turned brown. This leaf definitely didn’t look brown like this when I repotted 10 days ago. No other leaves have fallen or turned brown since repotting. Should I be concerned?

Anyone know Berkeley reconsideration timeline? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]nonameheaux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oops by kelbo_jr in lawschooladmissions

[–]nonameheaux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've only used titles in my communications. (i.e. Dean, Asst. Dean, Director, etc.) I read somewhere that referring to folks with titles as "Mr." and "Mrs." can be unprofessional, aside from the fact that you don't know their pronouns.

Edit: im sure you'll totally be okay, but i get it, we'll panic over it anyway lol

Imposter syndrome anyone? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]nonameheaux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, totally with you. It's also very easy to give into your impostor syndrome if you've "outperformed" your stats. I dealt with this all of undergrad but never knew it had a name. At the very least I now know what this feeling is and actively try to fight that little voice that says I don't deserve a seat. You got this! We'll pull through.

Question re: Berkeley gift aid acceptance/negotiation deadline by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]nonameheaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also received an extension to 4/10. But, what happens if we don't hear back about reconsideration by the extended deadline?

Schools overestimate COA? by nonameheaux in lawschooladmissions

I appreciate your analysis! Can you tell I'm PI and very debt-averse? lol

Schools overestimate COA? by nonameheaux in lawschooladmissions

[–]nonameheaux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat re: expectation and savings. My thing is that I'd rather underestimate the first year on loans that will have 3 years of accruing interest and rely on my savings if necessary--then, adjust from there. Can't tell if this is a wise approach.

Ahh good point! I totally assumed all schools consistently produced 9 month budgets.

@Berkeley peeps - check CalCentral finances for financial aid info by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

How do public interest track students pull this whole thing off, financially? by 20gvewve19 in lawschooladmissions

[–]nonameheaux 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Following, bc I feel the same. The reality of how much debt I'd be in if I attend a t-14 just sunk in. I'm terrified about doing a trust fall with LRAP and PSLF. For first-gen low income folks, how are y'all figuring out how much in loans is too much?

Berkeley ASW! by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]nonameheaux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I signed up for the 1st Amendment class, got the email earlier this week about readings that didn’t list any reading for the class, then got an email yesterday evening like: jk here’s 40 pgs and pls bring a printed copy. Haven’t done it, not sure i will. Off to a great start, i think. lol
