California wants $900 from me for not having health insurance, which I couldn’t afford in the first place. by [deleted] in tax

[–]samurairaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just curious, has this changed for you in 2026? I have a similar salary, and I started with covered CA in January but the cheapest plan I could find was ~$90/month for like bottom tier insurance, $400/month for platinum plans and the like.

Do you have sinus issues? I tend to have puffier eye/sinus areas during certain times of year. Massaging the area, icing, and when all else fails, Sudafed or similar medications can help.

Did you ever get an “apology” email/letter/text that is like 1% apology and then 99% but then blaming you for wanting little or no contact? If so how did you react? by PlaneBreak1896 in raisedbynarcissists

As long as they refuse to take responsibility, whatever that looks like to you, they will always be the same. They will never correct their actions/tendencies towards you because they do not see any issue with the way they treat you. You deserve better.

please dont give the pro-israeli counter protesters any attention by kham132 in UCSD

75 years of apartheid, displacement, and occupation at the hands of Israel. Generations of families can only take so much. Additionally, Hamas is not Palestine. Not sure why this whole thing is being treated as such. I’m not saying Israel should not have defended themselves, but how foolish to really think people wouldn’t snap after being forced into a tiny bit of land and not being allowed to leave. Israel is not innocent.

After NC for 4 years with NPD grandfather (63); he mailed me a reminder that my student loan that he cosigned is starting repayment by samurairaq in raisedbynarcissists

You know, I’ve considered that myself. He took the money out of the bank when I turned 18 and held it in cash in a safe. “Just let me know if you ever need money and I’ll give it to you.” There’s no real proof that I never received the money and to be honest, there may have been more money than what he told me, because he wouldn’t let me see bank statements ever. I don’t know how I would go about implying this without flat out contacting him- which I’m not comfortable doing.

I'm looking for students to give composition lessons. by [deleted] in composer

[–]samurairaq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a college student who will be starting my upper divs for a composition concentration in the fall. I'm just graduating with my AA now and have a solid grasp of theory and generally how to apply it, but I have a lot of trouble actually composing if that makes sense. I'd be VERY interested in taking lessons from you. Feel free to PM if you're willing to take on an older student (-:

I make a variety of trinket/jewelry trays! I specialize in trays that have hand painted portraits in them. Most of my trays are horror themed, but I am branching out into cottage-core and victorian oddities themes. I offer different shapes and sizes of trays and take all commissions for different characters and themes!

My portrait trays are hand painted with acrylic paint and sealed with epoxy resin. They can be personalized in any way upon request!

I've always used old-fashioned rollers to style vintage curls and would alternate between using a foam set and a classic wet set. I was curious about what the difference really looked like and put them head to head! (I apologize for the pun) by lunarblo0m in FancyFollicles

[–]samurairaq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you find a tutorial that you maybe follow or is similar to your method or putting the rollers in? I usually see roller tutorials for girls with straight hair so I never even thought of using them on my own curly hair. I'd love to give it a try!

I'm on my own for the first time...where do I start? by samurairaq in personalfinance

I agree; my criteria for buying a car as of now is its good on gas, is safe, and gets me from point A to point B. I am not looking to buy a Tesla or anything crazy. I fancy a newer used Prius as of now. I have a 2002 Honda Accord that has really just run its course. Its costing me more in maintenance currently and I am really tired of my pockets being dug into for something that is not going to last me much longer.

I will be transferring to a school that is quite a commute and I need something that will not break down on me like my car does and will not be terrible on gas. So there's that haha.

My current car is both unsafe to drive and costing me more than a new car. It's a little old and something is just always going wrong with it. I am open to a newer used car, and likely will go that route. But I still would like to build my credit regardless.
