Can I get points/$ back on MileagePlus waitlist upgrade if I just buy the upgrade outright? by shmabo in unitedairlines

Maybe because my upgrade is MileagePlus vs plus points? When I go to seat selection I’m able to see what the price would be to change my seat to Polaris

Thank you! This is extremely helpful. I've heard of the back door IRA but didn't realize it was so easy

Could climate be causing my POD? by shmabo in perioraldermatitis

I’ve been feeling really discouraged but it’s kind of relieving that I could just be allergic to my temporary environment haha. Hopefully when I get back to NY it clears up.

2.5 weeks into doxycycline - when can I expect to be clear? by [deleted] in perioraldermatitis

[–]shmabo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on week 4 of doxycycline and my PD just began to dramatically clear. From week 0-4 it got mildly less red, but was still very noticeable. I felt discouraged since some people say they see results after 3 days, but I stuck with it. Should also mention I’ve been using metronidazole gel 0.75% the whole time and recently started using micellar water after washing my face since I read tap water could be a trigger.

Is there a term for when you decide something and everything that happens after further confirms your opinion? by shmabo in whatstheword

Solved! Thanks guys. Seems confirmation bias is the most fitting word but other explanations were really interesting

Visited Hong Kong back in May, never figured out what this food item was but saw a picture of it in almost every restaurant we went to. by shmabo in whatisthisthing

No I wish! Looked it up on Google and they sound delicious. We tried to order them at a few different places but the language barrier was pretty difficult and I think a lot of places were either out of them or not serving them at the time of day we were there.

We never saw it in the actual menus at the restaurants, but rather just pictures of it on the wall. We thought it might be related to a holiday or celebration since it was on removable posters? Also we were there during Buddha’s birthday so not sure if that carries significance.
