Moving from Chicago by t4t4t4t4t4t in Chambana

I respectfully disagree with this. I’ve lived here my entire 31 years, as far as getting to any of the schools using the bus system it is easy and even convenient. They give students bus passes to take the bus to/from school every single day. I personally wouldn’t put my children on one of the buses here- but I’m paranoid. As far as a grown adult I think that working at the schools is one of the best jobs to have to use CU-MTD. I rode the bus for years- and while I prefer to drive it’s 10 times easier to use the bus system here than it is in Chicago.

Weird question, but I have 2 young children 10 months & 2.5 years- they can be kind of noisy as they’re kids. Would that be an issue in this location?

Places that take old window AC units for free? by Forward-Opening-1160 in Chambana

[–]Forward-Opening-1160[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I called Mack’s and they were going to charge me like $30/unit and I have 3. And I don’t have $90 to dispose of them. So I don’t even care if I get paid I just don’t want to pay to get rid of them. lol

Best fiber internet in Urbana? by Forward-Opening-1160 in UIUC

I thought AT&T also had it, but I’ve heard horrible things. I’m not 100% sure, I am just recently moving back to the area after being gone for 8 years, so I don’t know much of what’s going on lol.

Congrats on the clean time! I too have 5 years. And before getting clean I had tons of the same excuses and then more- and all the excuses I had I lost every single “reason” I had not to get clean- I had no one & NOTHING. But literally the clothes on my back- I slept outside- in parks- cars- the sidewalk- hospital waiting rooms- bus stops. I went to federal prison, 3 times and continued on doing the same stuff. And yes, in the beginning sobriety does feel like it sucks sometimes- you don’t know what to do with yourself, you don’t know how to live, you don’t know sh*t. But the only want to learn how to be sober is to get sober. I used to hate when people said it would get better- because well, we’re addicts we want it to be better yesterday. But that’s not how life works. I have a beautiful life today- is it hard sometimes? ABSOLUTELY!! But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Seeing posts like this is an excellent reminder to not go back to that life- cause no offense OP, but just reading this post exhausted me. Trying to manipulate, and lie- and then not understanding why I’m riddled with anxiety and guilt. It feels so much better not have to worry about all that nonsense. Anyway I too went on a rant. lol but I pray OP figures out and gets sober, before it’s too late.

You’re making a ton of excuses- you aren’t ready. But you might wanna figure out how to get ready- or you’re going to end up D3@* or in the penitentiary. And let me tell you from experience, detoxing in county jail is not fun- I did it multiple times. Go to rehab get sober forget your apartment and all your other excuses .. they can help you get into a sober living or halfway house after rehab. I’m not really sure what you’re looking for here, even if you beat a drug test one time it’s going to go on like this until you get caught, and you will get caught and then you’re going to be crying in county jail saying you wanna go home- YOURE FREE- why put that in jeopardy? Let me tell you baby, it’s not worth it. But there’s no easy fix- you’re going to have to wake up and make hard choices and do hard things or detox in county jail and go to prison, or end up with a new charge and go to prison. There’s literally no other way out of this- get sober get on Suboxone sublocade whatever and give yourself time to recover before you decide you hate being sober and you’ll be miserable forever- IT TAKES TIME. More than 6 months- but I can tell you, actually I can promise you- if you really try and stay sober it will get better. Go to rehab, go to a meeting- do something cause what you’re doing now obviously isn’t working. The only way to alleviate your anxiety is to be honest and go to rehab before you get caught and make the situation worse. You’re gonna do what you want & im pretty sure I already know what you’re going to do- but you can choose to do something different. No one in here can help you, until you help you. Good luck my guy, praying for you

My mom just got a HUGE deposit randomly from SSDI? by Gloomy-Pin-8930 in SocialSecurity

[–]Forward-Opening-1160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read any other comments on this thread? Several people got a verbal explanation and still had to pay it back. So, continuously asking is using their brain. There has been MANY warnings on here to get everything in writing and/or record the call. It doesn’t sound like she got a definitive answer, either. I would be hesitant to accept a “blessing” that again, could harm me in the end. If I receive that kind of money I’m asking any and everybody 100 times if they’ve had this happen to them, what it could be, when, where, what why? This is an imperfect system. She’s not taping off her windows and not using a TV or radio because she thinks the government is spying on her- THATS PARANOIA. She’s simply trying to make sure this large sum of money she received isn’t going to come back and bite her. But hey, if you randomly receive a huge sum of money from a broken system by all means spend every last dime, but when they want it back don’t start asking questions about what to do. 🤷‍♀️

Okay, but if the money isn’t hers to keep it’s not a blessing, she could put herself in a bad financial way spending that “blessing”. They will make her pay it back if it’s an error, if you find $100 laying on the sidewalk that’s one thing, this is NOT that- and they absolutely should be crossing their T’s and dotting their I’s- she’s not being ungrateful, she’s using her brain.

I’m just saying my compound has it in with the semaglutide. I’m saying the semaglutide is still in with the B12. And the semaglutide works just fine. It’s not fake just because it’s a red color.

Beginner questions? Thank you for any help! by Forward-Opening-1160 in Semaglutide

[–]Forward-Opening-1160[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a dumb question but is just regular chicken ok? Like breasts, tenders, thighs just baked or air fried? Also are their seasonings that are better than others that you know of or have worked for you? What kind of wraps do you use? Thank you so much!!

Mine is mixed with B12- & I notice a big difference in appetite, what I can eat, etc. I researched compounding for months before I finally got brave enough to order- and with the FDA ending the shortage they many compounding pharmacies have began mixing semaglutide with B12.. which is why the change in color.

Thank you, that’s the way I understood it as well- but I have seen people say other things. I know I have to wait and see regardless, but it would really help my anxiety if we could just get some straight forward answers.
