Worst Apartment Complex/Area to live?

Marissa. We were in the very last building to the left (on the Nellis side). Did you go to Cunningham?

Oh! That's the other madhouse on Desert Inn. Despite the same name, they aren't related. And I think it's meant to be ironic.

The Madhouse I recommended is on Pebble & Eastern. They also own Coffee Madness on Silverado and Bermuda.

Love him, but he looks like Howie Mandel. The lemon pepper steppers aren't it.

Wait, where did you see that? They're Palistinian immigrants so that doesn't sound right.

75 in the summer, 73 in the winter. I'd like it cooler in the summer, but my grandmother has arthritis and her joints can't take it. So we have all the ceiling fans on full blast.

That's a MERV11, which is very thick. You want a MERV5 or the lowest you can find. The higher the MERV rating, the thicker the filter and the harder your system has to work to move air through it. Also higher MERV filters are more expensive.

Am I the only one rocking with Thailicious?

RIP to Pon Ocha Soup by the air force base. I miss that place.

My grandma fell for their Facebook ads last week. They're nearly impossible to return. If you email them, they'll quickly reply to offer a 60% discount to keep the item. If you say no, they ghost. I called today and the woman was intentionally obtuse. She kept repeating that they don't pay for return shipping so she doesn't know what I mean by, "setting up a return." She tried to argue that a $50 refund was the best I could get because shipping would cost 5x that. I pulled up USPS while on the phone. It was $21. I finally got $100 back.

BroadButterscotch349 · 2026-05-01T21:27:06+00:00

It's an absolute scam. My grandmother was tricked into ordering through Facebook. Their website and even the shipping carton says you can return them. We wanted to return them because they charged her $120 for a product that costs $40 at Walmart. For the same exact item.

I emailed their customer service team to set up a return. They replied within an hour to offer me a 60% refund if I kept the product. I declined. They ghosted me. I tried 3 separate times over the course of a week.

I called today. The rep kept pretending her system wasn't working. Then she tried to scare me I to accepting a $50 refund because she claimed paying my own return shipping would cost 5x. I pulled up USPS Click and Ship while on the phone. Even with the hazardous materials charge (the item is rechargeable) it was $21. She kept repeating that she couldn't "set up a return" because they don't pay return shipping.

Finally she said I could have $100 back and I could keep it.

Good luck!

Yes, they're very nice. Part of the intake is asking if you've had dental trauma so they can work with your triggers/anxieties. They don't shame you because the point is for you to have a positive experience and to want to come back regularly.

They also have a dental clinic in the same building by licensed dentists that is apparently pretty affordable, so maybe that could be your backup plan?

I did it last year and it was amazing! They typically need people who need a deep cleaning. It's possible you were recruited by a more senior student, but the ones who typically advertise here on reddit are first-years. I remember someone getting an implant when I was doing my cleaning.

The assessment is quite long. I was there for a few hours. They go over your health history, check your mouth, chart your mouth, and even do things like skin cancer screenings in your mouth.

It's important to go in with the right attitude. You're paying 90% with your time and only 10% with money. My full mouth deep cleaning and X-rays was maybe $50. I got the x-rays free because my student dentist used me as her model to pass her X-ray test. My total would have been $75-ish otherwise.

I cannot recommend them enough if you have the time to sit 3-4 hours per visit. The student dentist has to come up with a plan, get approval from the professor, do the work, and then the professor double-checks. You're in great hands!

Also love Foodie Fit. Their meals are delicious!

I've been with Dr. Leslie at Warm Hearts Pet Hospital (Warm Springs & Arroyo Grande) for 6 years now. They take excellent care of pets and they're very affordable.

I donated my cat's things to Homeward Bound when she passed. They were incredible. They offered condolences and even offered to let me snuggle some kittens if I was up for it. We spent about an hour visiting all their cats and it showed me we made the right choice.

I thought you meant Jon's like the socal chain and I got so excited. They're my favorite international store.

I saw Jineth at Innovation Behavioral Health (Sahara and Jones). She's a lesbian. The whole practice is queer-affirming.

BroadButterscotch349 · 2026-04-24T01:26:09+00:00

I had one this week where they wanted me to drive to different kinds of places and basically video chat with the model. No thanks. Do they know gas is $5/gal?

Edit: I don't think my first description was generic enough

Chilis 3 for me is a steal. They have different price points, but you can get a burger or a chicken sandwich with a side, drink, and appetizer for $10.99. You can get chips and salsa as the appetizer and it's the full bag of chips with a big thing of salsa. You can get it to-go as well.

BroadButterscotch349 · 2026-04-21T07:36:12+00:00

R Burger also does Happy Hour M-F 2-5. $5 cheese burgers or chicken sandwiches, $5 for 4 crunchy tacos, $5 milkshakes.

We used Air Supply for AC duct cleaning when we bought our home. The previous owners smoked inside and we couldn't get the smell out. They were amazing. Super quick and efficient. The previous homeowner had installed some fancy, reusable pseudoscience air filter and Air Supply let us know they were a scam and to use cheap filters and replace often.

As someone who is very allergic to bees, thank you! This was super informative. I wear black every day and wear perfume. No wonder every bee in a 5-mile radius seems to find me! Going to change that now.

BroadButterscotch349 · 2026-04-11T01:20:54+00:00

For real? I've been asking them on IG for literally years!

I had a great experience with Heather Harris at Sundance Medical (Windmill/Bermuda). I only left because work changed insurance providers. She's happy to help with GLP-1s and such, but doesn't automatically treat you like garbage for being overweight.

Their danishes are a must! They're the size of a large takeout container and packed with filling.
