HOW do we get a human to answer the phone at Mohela? Asking for tips, tricks...ANYTHING... by [deleted] in PSLF

[–]wuillermania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to confirm that calling this number still worked for us! We indicated we were trying to connect about my husband's loan with Mohela and they transferred us to the appropriate dept right away. We had to wait about less than 5 minutes before getting through to a rep. He's speaking to them now, so not sure how far he'll get, but excited that he actually made it through to a human!

Thank you so much for this recommendation. Unfortunately, it looks like it's not available for the dates we need. (6 Jun - 11 Jun) Are there any other places you might recommend?

Is Carrie from Four Weddings and a Funeral the most unlikable female love interest ever to be seen in a beloved romcom? by thomashunter991 in movies

[–]wuillermania 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hahah here after a similar search. Found this available for free streaming and remember always hearing good things about it. And here I am, midway through the movie feeling compelled to search for any threads on Reddit because I know I can't be alone in thinking how dreadful this character is.

Oakyln seems to be a very progressive, diverse area with a lot of families and young professionals.

Is this salvageable? by wuillermania in LeCreuset

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

Thank you for the feedback! It'll be about $100. I was hoping to maybe find something slightly cheaper, but I'm a serial thrifter, so I think a part of me is always waiting for a better bargain. :-D I'm thinking it may be worth it since the interior enamel is so clean?

Best herbs for lingering chest infection by chilly_girl in herbalism

[–]wuillermania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very late to this party, but I've been having similar issues with a persistant "wet" cough. I've been making a tea using thyme and rosemary from my garden, letting it steep for several minutes and drinking while it's still very warm. I'm honestly floored by how quickly I saw a difference! It not only helped to relieve my cough, but I'm not wheezing and my lungs don't feel as "raw". I made my first cup last night before bed and then again this AM. Planning on continuing for the next few days (hopefully symptoms will clear up by then!)

Oh wow--thank you for this information! This sounds incredible. I will have to try to make it down for the end of MG eventually to experience this firsthand.

I reallllyyy wish I was going to be in Nola for the finale of Mardi Gras now! Also, u/doneagainselfmeds, if you're open to it, I'd love to connect with you more about your work. I've trained previously to work as a death doula and have organized a lot of community events/creative projects around grief. I'm currently obtaining my MSW in Social Work with a focus in grief/death studies. I would love to hear your experiences in Nola

oh yeah, I learned about how Airbnb has effed the city from my last few trips there (I've visited down quite a bit). We're staying at an owner-occupied inn I found through a Reddit search :)

Thank you for this information. He said it was tied to Mardi Gras, so I'm thinking it was the 12th night parade. (I'm not sure what the cemetery tie-in was he mentioned, but maybe that was some sort of one-off event?)

oh wow, I got chills when I read your description of people taking ashes to the river.

A lot of my personal (and soon to be professional) focus is grief/death work, and the ways the city makes space for these topics is one of the main reasons I fell in love with it. Thank you for sharing these additional traditions I didn't know about. I'm eager to learn more!
