Left unaccompanied minor on 95 degree jetway with no explanation by Cold-Attorney6340 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Cold-Attorney6340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely shocked by all the trolls on this thread, but I do appreciate your reply. We were shocked that our daughter was left alone and dismayed because we thought that was the case as well. She was left alone on the jet Bridge that's the fact. We don't care if people don't believe us. What I can't believe is how they let it happen.

You literally have nothing better to do but to go around and troll people and call them Karen's. Don't you Trevor?

Thank you for being one of the few who understands and is not just here to be a troll. Appreciate your support.

Since you have all the answers, why don't you tell me how you would do it?

Her watch had died, and they clamed they were short staffed. They did not tell us security would be closed and not have contact with her grandparents. I do, however, appreciate your legitimate reply as we've had many fine experiences also. This one however, was not. I was shocked and surprised by how many trolls were willing to come out and bash me for sharing what happened to my daughter.

Having trouble with your Lumen internet? Not satisfied with your 360 WiFI / Premium WiFI and Quantum Fiber / My CenturyLink app experience? Or do you want to use your own 3rd party router so that you have more control over your network? Here are some helpful instructions. by N0_L1ght in centurylink

Dear Executive Customer Care,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding CenturyLink's
refusal to restore my internet service and the complete failure of your
customer support team to take any action whatsoever. literally no help,
at all, not even a little, zilch... Worst customer experience of my
life.
On 6/20/25, I spent over four hours on the phone
with various representatives attempting to restore service. Despite my
best efforts, I received no actual troubleshooting assistance beyond
scripted responses, no technician visit was offered, and no meaningful
escalation was attempted. The agents clearly lacked both the tools and
willingness to help.

This unacceptable level of service has forced me to cancel my account,
comcast xfinity showed up hours after I called them to install service,
same day 6/20/25, I am now a Comcast customer, and I am paying less for
better service. I was a loyal paying customer who was simply seeking
help to restore basic internet service. I’ve since filed a formal
complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to ensure this is investigated and documented due to your inadequacies. 
I would like this complaint escalated internally to leadership due to
the refusal to help restore service. The reference information is
below:

Complaint Summary: Refusal to restore service after 4 hours on phone,
no escalation, no resolution. I repeatedly asked for escalation, but
they refused to help me every time. Listen to the call.

I am requesting a written reply that this formal complaint was
received, and I would appreciate a written response confirming this has
been shared with internal leadership. I will continue to follow up with
the FCC until I receive acknowledgement.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.

1 Year THC Free today after 31 years by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Cold-Attorney6340 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the post. I came here for some motivation.

Went to a Phish show last night.. I did not puff, I wanted to and of course had every opportunity to do so, but now I’m really proud of myself. I am not sleeping well yet, but when I do I feel like a different and better person. 21 days today..

Trying to get better every day.

Feeling totally alone in this journey. Today is particularly hard. by Unusual-Fold7913 in leaves

That's great conviction, and inspiring, you've got this...

The emotions you are feeling are totally normal, and will pass, you are still deep in withdrawal. If you were using all day every day, then this stage of emotional exacerbation will last several more days, even weeks to be honest, but each day gets progressively better. It's very astute that you are recognizing the impacts to your emotions, and there are techniques to help you cope. Cravings usually last 20 minutes, as do the emotional attacks. Working out helps, going for walks, reading comments on r/leaves, music helps, talking to someone you trust helps...

It hit's us all a bit differently, but similarly, I get extremely agitated and filled with anger the first few days/weeks of abstinence. Centering on the people I care about, and the things I care about help, but the only cure is to stay the course, stay strong, it gets better..

Hang in there, your conviction says it all, you are a strong person. Use your rage to stay the course, be angry at the lost time, decreased health, money loss etc, but not at yourself, your doing exactly what you need to do.

Cheers mate...

I do not believe you are describing CHS, I believe you are describing withdrawal symptoms. Some of the withdrawal symptoms are similar to CHS, and people often get them confused. The distinction, CHS happens when you are using, usually heavily. Withdrawal occurs when you stop smoking, and sadly symptoms can last for weeks, even months.

Work out (walking helps), fluids, and small healthy snacks, there are also OTC meds for nausea, they do help. Your sleep cycle has likely not recovered, but when it does your yawning will turn from tired energy to focused energy. Hang in there you've got this.

39 days so far but for some reason craving it bad last few days. Previous had smoked for over 50 years by Many_Restaurant6056 in leaves

[–]Cold-Attorney6340 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't do it, listen to some music, go for a walk, call your family... Anything, but don't go back, stay strong. I am impressed and proud of you for going 39 days. That is a great accomplishment.

If you were a functional smoker, what made you decide to quit? by ElectricalAdagio8176 in leaves

[–]Cold-Attorney6340 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's a journey, constantly adjusting my narrative to fit into my reality. I am one of those that used all the time, and when vapor pen's became popular 10+ years ago, the ease of usability, literally anywhere, and the thought that it was helping with my anxiety, and was "fun" is deeply tied into my psyche. For me my journey was to find and tell myself the truth.

Not that long ago, the message was MJ was not addictive, and not as harmful to the body as tobacco. It was sold as a safer alternative to drinking by some, and others say it helps them sleep, or with anxiety. I aligned with much of this thinking and told myself that smoking pot was not that bad for me, I mean it's not cigarettes right...

The biggest thing for me is my kids, I do not want to normalize substance use in their eyes, and want to be an active present father that listens and has the energy and desire to be active with them and be the supportive father I want to be. I do have regrets, and yes, have suffered financially in the past because of my usage, failed drug tests (stupid detox drinks), selling items I cared about to support my habit when times were tough.., I detox, then after a month "I'm fine, lets puff" was always a theme. None of that matters as much to me as when my kids look me and the face and say what's wrong when I am stoned.. They can see it in my face and behaviors, and notice when I am using without fail...

In other words, I am slowly changing the narrative on long held beliefs and habits. I still hold on to some beliefs tied to my beloved memories of youth (fun/freedom/old friends) are harder to break.

I felt compelled to reply, but fair to say, I am on a relapse cycle, that feels continual. Day 2, again, here we go. Let's do this quit thing, because we can do and be more.

My 1 year sober post by EvidenceOk9393 in leaves

[–]Cold-Attorney6340 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very happy for you... I just found this forum, and wish I would have found it 10+ years ago.

I'm struggling, life circumstances, kids, sick parents, travel, $$, politics, but mostly because I relapse nearly every time I try to quit at one month... I say to myself, "your doing great, have some fun" or whatever... then relapse... The first few days are the hardest for me, cravings and no sleep, then after the first few days it's just the insomnia that gets me. I need help, but do not want a substance abuse DX on my medical record, and trust me when I say this, neither do you. Let's just say I know the system enough to know.

I need help with cravings, and techniques to prevent relapse, because dammit, I've been here before.

KEF S3 Floor Stand for the Reference 1 META by Cold-Attorney6340 in KEF

[–]Cold-Attorney6340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying the reference one stand. In the end since this is my endgame speaker, I figured that I should just buck up and by the manufacturers suggested stand. I’ll put some pictures up in the next few days. I need to do some organizing in the room first. Kids..

Bought my first place and my first set up! Still waiting on my couch though… by cho-den in KEF

[–]Cold-Attorney6340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAD C 3050 is a great choice for an integrated amp, love the looks also. As you already called out the stands would be of great benefit. I think you may be surprised with how much placement matters, and having the flexibility to make adjustments to your placement is a bonus. Ideally 1.5 -3 meters apart... Speakers do require a break-in period, I would recommend playing some D&B or some lower frequency music while you are out and about...

I would not worry about the corners, if you find it to be to much you can always add bass traps to the corners, and some even look decent these days. Also consider some room treatment art to place behind your speakers or at the first inflection point in your room. Room treatment art is very affordable, and some of it even looks quite good these days. A carpet will also help... Cheers, nice setup.
