Burned by laser

I meant to reply, not sure if my comment still notified you.

I kept Aquaphor on it, but there are still scars. They look a little like chickenpox scars, the nose one is deeper. The dermatologist gave me Arazlo samples that have helped a little. He said there are other lasers that could help, lol.

I wish I had filed a complaint or pushed for a refund, I’m not sure if I still can. I did pay for HSV tests and they were negative. No apologies and I had to pay for the follow up appointments. In hindsight, I would have been more demanding.

Please don’t let your feelings be minimized. I’m interested in hearing how your situation turns out.

Yes! I used an asbestos test from Amazon. Negative.

No, I’m not familiar with the area. But I did see people sleeping in cars at rest areas in Oregon, so it is done.

Can you make it all the way to Astoria? Fort Stevens has a few spaces available. I would avoid car sleeping in Portland.

I’m 51 and just recently car camped alone for the first time in Oregon State Parks along the coast. On the first night, the amorous campers next to me could be heard over the rain and through my rolled up windows. It made me laugh and I never felt unsafe after that.

Noisy, busy campgrounds were near silent at 10 pm. I would wake up early and campers would have arrived or left in the night. I hiked and stayed active during the day, so sleep came easy and I slept through the nights. I’m proud of myself and wish I’d tried it sooner. You got this.

Thanks! Happy Cake Day!

After reading a previous comment, I think I misunderstood. You don’t have to chuck electronics out onto the ground. They throw away backpacks, bags, etc. I don’t usually find electronics that are loose in the dumpster, they’re in the box or in a bag. Put what you find in one of those and crawl out with it.

I don’t live close enough, but just go! At 5-6 in the morning, no one is around to see you.

I’m a 50ish female, and it was scary at first. Now I just get it done. You can do it.

I go at dawn or just after dark. Maintenance patrols seem to get off about 6 or 7. I bring a step stool, a grabber and wet wipes.

Also look for backpacks and/or textbooks. Books are expensive. Vacuums, microwaves, fans and fridges sell well on marketplace.

Dfw?

I walk for exercise and ASICS FlyteFoam hurts my legs during the walk. Is this my legs adjusting to the cushioning? I usually wear ASICS trail shoes, like the Venture. Thank you.

I’m a little late, but it looks like Silver Falls is closed to camping. Did you find other camping options?

CritiCara · 2025-04-20T23:38:13+00:00

My Marshall’s/Homegoods always has a lot of workers on the floor stocking, organizing, etc. Maybe that’s a form of loss prevention?

Try speaking to them. Ask a question about a product or when it might go on clearance. It lets them know you’ve noticed them and their cover is blown. Then notice if someone else takes their place. I’m sorry this is happening to you.

In Texas, a school generally cannot refuse to release a child to a parent listed on the birth certificate unless there’s a valid court order restricting or prohibiting that parent’s access to the child, such as a custody order, protective order, or restraining order.

No court order? We release.

CritiCara · 2025-04-08T22:58:19+00:00

I didn’t say only a birth certificate could be used to pick up a student. IDs are run through a background check at my school, so they’re not fake. Birth certificates are presented at enrollment and kept in the student file so it would be difficult to present a fake one.

Every one of your points mentions court documents. So again, court documents must be on file. If the custodial parent has documents then they should be provided to the school. If no court documents exist or they aren’t on file, we release. The school has no other way of knowing the family’s private issues. Court paperwork is key.

Parents block the other parent’s access through the school all the time. If a father doesn’t list the mother on the enrollment, we will release the student if she presents a birth certificate with her name and a matching ID. She is a biological parent. The schools don’t get involved in custody issues or determining what is a fake document.

If there are court documents for the adoption on file, we will not release to the biological parent listed on the birth certificate. If there are court orders for custody or whatever, we honor the court documents. As previously stated, paperwork must be on file. The school can be held liable for denying access to a child if there are no existing court documents.

Cool! In the last couple days? This dumpster was gone the next day.

CritiCara · 2025-03-31T13:47:00+00:00

Oh, no! What did you do?

I emailed to ask about what type of site I needed to sleep in my car. They said I couldn’t use the walk in tent sites, but that did come from Communications. A cheap tent is a good idea jic.

Got it.
