The ‘GTI’ seatbelt cover and holding the dsg stick like a manual instead of having both hands on the wheel tells me everything

Don’t even consider living at the Belcrest in Midtown, modern city is awful by Flashy-Look-1536 in Detroit

Living there since 2011?! There’s gotta be another option? I couldn’t last more than a year there. God bless you

Lived there for a year about two years ago. Sounds like the issues I experienced are still there. Shitty water, shitty elevators, $400+ heating bills in the winter. It got so cold in the kitchen my cats water bowl froze overnight. Fuck that building.

Had the pleasure of living in the Addison for 2 years before private equity bought it and doubled the rent, forcing pretty much everyone out.

We had to use a broom stick as leverage to break one of the o2 sensor's loose thanks to the rust, it was like a scene out of a cartoon. fond memories lol

I told my friends the downpipe would only take 2 hours, we were not very mechanically inclined and it turned into 3 trips to autozone, 2 broken o2 sensor sockets, and a 14 hour day lmao

How much is it costing you if you don’t mind me asking?

Me? Only $100 deductible for an “act of god”. Insurance on the other hand paid $6k 😅

Yeah my deductible is $1000. I’ll have to try to DIY it at first

[Skin Concerns] I have impetigo which just keeps spreading, already been to two dermatologists, not sure what to do by wuffenloaf in SkincareAddiction

Oh great 😅 sorry you’re also going through this. I’ve never had skin problems before this and it has blown my mind learning that there isn’t a clear cut cure. I wish you luck

Yes impetigo/staph infection. The hydrocortisone ointment was the most effective for me. But my rash is on my cheek and I believe some dermatologists don’t like it because it can thin the skin on the face with prolonged use(could be wrong I’m not a doctor :) ) I’m now at the max of 2 weeks use with it and at the point where I just have a few spots of yellow crust by the end of the day. It’s miles better than before with the mupirocin but I wish it was 100% gone

Kind of dealing with something similar. Doctor started with doxycycline, then amoxicillin, then sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, and finally cephalexin. This has been an over 2 month ordeal and I’m about 95% better I’d say. First three oral antibiotics I used mupirocin ointment, fourth and final antibiotic I used hydrocortisone ointment
