we were driving back down from mt wilson just past 7pm last night. an ambulance passed by with lights flashing but no sirens. then a fire engine, and another, and another one drive up mountain the same way, no sirens but flashing lights are on. further down we pass by atleast a couple more, and eventually a police car, still with flashing lights but no sound. what happened? and why weren’t their sirens on?

Friends, how are we finding remote jobs? Or what are the ideal, endo-friendly forms of work, and where are we finding those?

I'm studying to become a psychologist because I will be able to get virtual clients. But thats years away. I have worked as a nanny and a preschool teacher, as well as a house painter, and in art galleries, museums, bars, restaruants. I would love to get experience with clinical reasearch. I've been in between jobs for a few months, and I have had occasional gigs as a house painter and as a nanny.

The job search process has become so emotional. I make lists of job postings to apply to, I think about how my illness has been getting worse lately, and become overwhelmed with thoughts like "what will I say, how will we handle, the inevitable absences or limitations, and their unpredictability?! How will I keep this job if I get it?"

I wish I could secure a remote job but damn it is so difficult to find one. If anyone has advice or direction on that front, or has suggestions for some forms of work that will be more accomodating to people with chronic illnesses, please share. Thank you.

Hi friendos… I posted this on r/endo but still haven't received responses, so I'm expanding my reach here now. Help!

I understand that the stages system is not entirely accurate but that’s the language I’ll use for now.

I’ve had three endo surgeries, all excision, and all with minimal amounts of endo. (“Stage 1”). They were removed from the peritoneum in my pelvis and some were found near or on the ovaries. I also deal with ovarian cysts (I have a PCOS/PMOS diagnosis).

I’ve been dealing with rupturing cysts. I had one that sent me to the ER a couple months ago and measured around 3.5cm. At a follow up, that one had resolved, but there appears to be a new cyst on the other ovary, this one measuring 7cm (!!!!!!!!). The provider also told me that I have “kissing ovaries”.

From what I’ve read the kissing ovaries are indicative of deeper endo. I’d really like to hear from anyone who can relate to any of these factors, and especially anyone who has had excision surgeries that were stage 1, who later had a more advanced stage.

Has that happened to you? How are you? How’d it go?

Thanks in advance and hugs to all!

I am looking for reccomendations for hair salons where I can get a trim for an affordable price. I'll go anywhere except long beach or malibu for this, I seriously can't find anything reasonable. I cannot spend $80-$150 on just getting my ends trimmed. Please help meeeee!

Where is your recommended salon?

Thanks in advance <3

EDIT: super cuts/group on/ the suggested stylists/cosmo school students and learning how to do it myself IT IS!!

I've been looking at the different options for STATS this fall and reviewing all the professors ratings.

The only two with openings that are well rated are Professor He and Professor Lopez. Looking for recommendations on who to pick.

I have always had a difficult time with math classes and I had a couple math professors at SMC that SUCKED AT TEACHING!!!! I can't afford to waste the time and tuition with a professor who will make learning harder than it already is.

Please help if you've had experience with either of them, I am going out of my way to take classes at SMC again to add STATS to my transcript as I am preparing for grad school programs that request experience with it.

Thank you all in advance <3

Hi all, we live in an apartment in Koreatown. It’s over a 100 years old, pretty neglected by the landlord. She has refused major repairs for years and is now trying to sell the whole building.

She asked us to sign this “Tenant Estoppel Certificate” so she can move forward with her plans of selling. She said the “new landlord will fix all the issues”.

Can anyone share their experiences with this paper work, is there anything to look out for? What happens if we don’t sign? I could attach a picture.

Our main concern is making sure our buildings needs are met. Despite the issues, it’s spacious, affordable, and special to us. Our neighbours are asking the same questions, wary to sign.

Thanks in advance!
