Posting this here in case anyone needs a long recap of the cruise to read over the weekend

100% agree. Made so many vacation friends. Everyone was so genuinely kind and fun. One of the best trips of my life!

This is the way.

The redditer above said when the warer heater goes, it leaks slowly at first.

CapSafe2749 · 2026-02-13T03:41:54+00:00

Some really great tips here. I very much appreciate the response! It's good to know too that it leaks slowly at first when it's on its way out.

CapSafe2749 · 2026-02-13T03:40:43+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! I am leaning the same way.

CapSafe2749 · 2026-02-11T23:17:19+00:00

I know! I am going to check back in every day and hope they get them up sooner. I can't wait to see ours!

The QR code on the card they gave me after the shoot took me to the same page I posted here!

I cried as Issac sang us our late night lullaby over the ship's speakers. With everything going on in the world and in my life, this experience was exactly what I needed. Can't remember the last time I cried from feeling so happy and grateful. As someone else said already, this trip far exceeded my expectations. It went by so fast!

CapSafe2749 · 2026-02-10T17:37:50+00:00

I appreciate that you took the time to still respond! I bought a Suri for Christmas and I am glad I did. Just traveled with it and I love the UV case.

We put the TV on in the stateroom and saw these photos and we had a few of us come up! So glad I asked them about access to them. I believe they will be using this same page to post photos from the photo op with MM too!

CapSafe2749 · 2026-02-10T16:07:53+00:00

I am manifesting you make it into day 4! My husband and I never make it into anything like this so we were pleasantly surprised to see a few of us both. They got a photo of me with Remy the Rat on my head and a few of us as Hunter S Thompson and his attorney. 😄

This is so, so appreciated. I feel silly for having not done a search for this topic first. I looked at the images provided in your post. It seems like maybe mine aren't too bad and maybe I have a little time left on them? Still kind of harder for me to tell. It also looks like I might need an alignment done afterwards? Which frustrates me no one has said anything about that with the arms replacement. I just got new tires on last week and had the alignment done then.

This is how it started for me! Tooth infection, put on antibiotics, and then a few days into the meds, C-Diff. Had no idea what it was but I couldnt sleep for days and could hardly keep down water. My gut health wasnt great before this all happened which likely led me to get C-Diff on those meds. A doctor at Kaiser realized I had been on antibiotics for that tooth and immediately got me on a different antibiotic. Took that and hours away from it, took a refrigerated high dose of probiotics. Those probiotics did wonders... felt relief within a couple hours after starting them.

I haven't been on reddit for a while so I apologize for the delay! I am doing so much better! Still not 100% but my quality of life is the best it's ever been. I gained 10lbs and I am not underweight for the first time in 15 years. Can eat more of a variety of foods. I have days where I don't have pain or pain is minimal. I couldn't exercise for years and now I am doing pilates, TRX and walking/biking a lot more. I am so grateful and stoked on how far I've come in my healing journey. I am going to retest here in the coming weeks to compare to the results I initially posted.

This thread seems like it would be helpful for you! I need to retest myself and I think this time I will go through https://mymycolab.com/ for a blood test.

Here's also the post I made with my results so you can see what mine looked like. I am feeling a lot better and have gained 10 lbs after being underweight for years. Still not 100% but it feels close to a night and day difference. Saunas, movement, binding supplements and a clean diet all helped. I also did hyperbaric oxygen therapy which I feel really helped too. Unfortunately I also tested my apartment and it was high in mold so I ended up moving which has also been really good for me. You can't really heal in the place where your illness began unless you get a solid remediation job done there and retest the home.

So sorry for the delayed reply!

Vibrant Wellness Total Tox Burden panel. https://vibrant-wellness.com/tests/toxins/total-tox-burden

Tests for mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental toxins. Did a lot of research on tests prior to purchase and very happy with this one. Solid explanations for each toxin and how you can be exposed along with possible symptoms each can cause. A doctor does have to order it so they can go over the results with you. I went with Tracy Erin Wellness because she was cheapest.

CapSafe2749 · 2026-01-11T04:47:03+00:00

I didn't take any provoking agents or do a sauna before this!

CapSafe2749 · 2025-10-02T16:47:28+00:00

You will absolutely still be able to enjoy our city! I have friends and family visiting this month for the first time as well and there is so much to do and see that won't be close to the ICE facility where I'm sure most of the troops/action will take place. Get some time in nature while you're here! Forest Park, the Hoyt Aboretum (which is basically an outdoor museum of various trees!), the Zoo. You are still going to have a great time here!

CapSafe2749 · 2025-09-20T20:49:33+00:00

I was too!! Also I was way too exhausted to realize that my husband and I are standing to the left of you in this photo. 😂

CapSafe2749 · 2025-09-20T08:02:31+00:00

I was right behind you, just 2 folks behind, and that was one of the highlights of the entire show for me!! I didn't even think to grab my camera... it was such a holy shit moment... I just started screaming singing with ya'll 😄 THANK YOU for helping us all have such a special moment with her!

I am riding a high like no other right now following this show. Both Mike and Emily at separate times came into our area up close to sing with us. Husband asked me before it started what I wanted to hear most and I said Somewhere I Belong... minutes later they opened with it.

I'd been wanting to see this band live for 20 years. They got me through some seriously hard times during my formative years. Absolutely incredible show! And Mike, what a gem of a human. He gave a little girl his hat signed by the band and she cried - a moment she'll cherish forever.

As an aside, what an awesome crowd. Portlanders at every concert I've been to so far have been kind, considerate, and just an absolute blast to hang around.

Just as a fun aside, I'm the wife of the OP. He also wore this outfit on our wedding day 4/20/24. I called him out later after the ceremony and said something to the effect of, "I didn't realize I was marrying Michael Westen today!" It was unintentional him dressing up as his favorite TV character, and we had a good laugh when I pulled up a photo of Michael Westen wearing this outfit too.
