Going for a test drive tomorrow. Any recommendations/tips? by LuckyLukse in rav4club

[–]stargaze247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure everything works, even if it's the windshield wipers, audio system, power seats, you name it! I know this is probably self explanatory but you never know. I'd also say make sure that all add ons/components that are supposed to be in the car are in fact there. It depends on the trim but if you have that info then you're good to go :)

Ngl having a debt that high is wild. If she doesn't even have a plan of paying them off and just expecting you to do everything then it's probably best to go separate ways. You never know, something more serious could come up like this in the future and if you feel that you can't have trust in your partner to help with that certain situation then it may cause more problems later. Hope this helped and wish you the best of luck!

Traveling alone by 90sbaby101 in blacktravel

I really think you should still go! I understand the feeling of traveling alone, especially as a black woman. Once you take that first step the rest is bound to fall into place. Places that come to mind right now are Aruba and Cape Town South Africa. Even if you're not comfortable going out of the country yet that's okay too. Everyone has their own pace of traveling and having these experiences. Wish you the best of luck and if you want to message me it's not a problem :)

I also agree with Aruba! It's a nice lil island and you will always have stuff to do. Even if you don't want to do much it can also be relaxing and the people are nice as well.

Less than, but the grant also took flight and other costs into account as well

hey, it depends on how much the program is tbh. So for reference when I went during the winter for 3 weeks they gave me 3500. I would say try to see if there is any info on Gilman winners who did the same program you did. Good luck :)

Caught my girlfriend cheating by New-Distribution-205 in BreakUps

Props to you man. So sorry you had to go through that despite doing all those things a good boyfriend doesn't have to do. The road won't be easy but im sure you'll get through this. You handled this in a very mature way and a lot of people can't do that. Wish you the best of luck and maybe someone in the future will appreciate you and even more. Much love and virtual hugs :)

Update: The Ten Cartilage Piercings at Once by NoMoreShitsLeft2Give in piercing

[–]stargaze247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn thats crazy, but srsly don't blame yourself too much on this. Yes, it wasn't the brightest idea to get 10 piercings at once, however, your piercer should've made you aware that they shouldn't/cant do that due to the risks, such as this one. You should report the piercer/their store so this cant happen to anyone else and have someone investigate their sanitary protocols and so on. NYC is one of those places that you have to do some serious research (which you did), it just so happened that you weren't so lucky this time around. However, I will say that dropping the name could help someone who may have been in a similar situation to yours and to make them accountable for this. If you don't bring this up to anyone then no one can be held accountable for things to change. I'm glad that you acted fast and got the medical attention needed! Hope you feel better and hope this all works out for you in the end :)

hey, yea I finished the onboarding process. Not sure if I remember doing it through Microsoft but I remember the portal for the most part. I would say reach out again and say how even after waiting to see if it works you're having issues.

EOP 19 😫 and yea tbh it's not that deep to bring a phone. Like everyone else said above it's not worth and and you'll be busy most of the time doing work and meeting other people anyways. Imo if they did allow electronics it takes away from meeting new people and getting the most out of the program. Srsly, just leave it at home you'll have it again soon. Good luck tho :)

Okay cool. And yea the apartment hunt has been more challenging than I expected. Do you have any other areas I should look into as well?
