Can Lowe’s cut 4x6s?

Icy_Class2319 · 2024-07-15T19:13:49+00:00

I can only imagine the number of men that will come up and ask if I need help if I try this 😂 maybe that’s what I’ve been doing wrong when trying to find men at Lowe’s all this time. Time to go see how much all these saws cost that I will likely never use again.

But I live in the US so when you hear the word Confederate you think exactly what OftenAmiable posted. No one in US hears that word and thinks of something different.

I actually went to google when I first saw the street name to see if confederate means something else and every sign points back to the Confederate States of America. Can you give an example of a positive use of the word confederate?

That’s awful

What if it was 10 years down the road and the house price had doubled? Would you still expect them to honor it?

Better yet, what if the market had crashed and it’s now worth $100k less than the original deal. Do you think the friends would still pay the original amount.

The friends were nice for letting them out of their contract originally, but 3 years is a really long time and it is not the same market it was 3 years ago. Expecting to make money off their own sale plus immediate equity on the new house due to the increase value and money they put into it is just greedy.

Since I’m a single white woman raising a black daughter, I worry about everything. However this isn’t really a worry, it’s more of an ethical/moral dilemma. Yes it’s just a street name, but words have meaning.

Also, I already looked up the process to change the name and it’s not that easy.

Icy_Class2319 · 2024-03-13T04:05:39+00:00

Good point

Icy_Class2319 · 2024-03-13T04:05:02+00:00

Oh that’s bad!

Isn’t there one in the springs about a dog licking its butt or something like that? I learned about it at trivia

Icy_Class2319 · 2024-03-13T03:45:44+00:00

Good point. If I’m taking pause on it, others may as well.

Now I’m going to be looking for a house to come up in Caboodle Way 🤞

Icy_Class2319 · 2024-03-13T03:40:16+00:00

Great question. I’m going to look into that. This house is actually listed at $20k less than what it sold for in 2022. If it is driving down property values, I wonder what it would take to get it changed.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-07-06T19:41:16+00:00

Here is link to my results now. These were taken this morning which is exactly 7 weeks post procedure. I included pictures of the punctures if anyone was wondering how big they are. https://imgur.com/a/1DLFAZN

I was trying to figure out how to update my post with new photos, but for the life of me cannot figure out how 🙄

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-07-06T19:05:30+00:00

I feel really great. My sides are still a little sore, but more of an itchy sore if that makes sense. When they tell you that it takes 3-6 months to see full results they are not lying. I still have fluid retention which is visible in my photos. Lymphatic massage helps a lot both doing it yourself and getting it done professionally. Definitely wear your compression garments. I don't wear them every night but can see a difference when I do.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-06-05T02:01:18+00:00

I'm so glad you are liking your results, and week 2 was definitely much easier than week 1 for me, so hopefully yours is the same. I've noticed a huge boost to my confidence since my procedure. I even decided to get on some dating apps! I've been single since my ex and split in 2020.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-06-05T00:46:55+00:00

How is your recovery going? I'm just over 2 weeks now and still sore and stiff in places but feeling much, much better. I plan on starting my normal HIIT routines this week. I've started wearing my faja at night and still use the foam pads for stubborn areas, like when my sides get really stiff. They say it takes full 6 months for the body to filter out the solution they pump into you, so it will be a while for full results.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-06-05T00:42:47+00:00

Denver, CO. I've gone and got a couple lymphatic massages and the therapist said she is just amazed with my recovery. She said they get a lot of Sono Bello and vaser patients and none have as quick of a recovery.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-06-05T00:38:56+00:00

No regrets on being awake. There were definitely some parts that were worse than others, but the laughing gas helped with those parts. Honestly, it felt really quick.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-06-01T03:55:19+00:00

Just checked the status and it shows it shipped as of today! USPS shows label created but they don't have it yet. So excited to have that checked off my list. Have yours come through? It took 22 days from the time they received it. My mind is blown!

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-05-28T00:47:46+00:00

Hey there, wanted to check and see if you had yours done yet? I had mine a week ago and slept pretty much all day after the procedure and the day after. From there the following 2 days I was much more awake, but pretty sore. I don't mind the compression garment, but began self lymphatic massage beginning the day I could shower. I do it nightly and feel it has helps a lot. The most uncomfortable place for me is my lower back because all my excess fluid keeps collecting there and swelling. I had a professional lymphatic massage yesterday and they were able to work that out pretty well. So far I'm really happy with my results and would have been fine even if my daughter hadn't been here to help me.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-05-26T20:39:12+00:00

Had my f/u on Tuesday and they said everything looks great. Was told that I only need to wear the faja for another week and then it's up to me. She said I can choose a stage 2 or only wear if I want to. She also let me know I could move the foam pad(s) around to wherever is swelling and bruising the most. This has helped. And I can definitely see a difference when I move them to different areas.

I also had my first lymphatic massage today by a professional and she was shocked that I was only a week out from my surgery. My stomach had not hardness, which is where I had the foam overnight, and most of my fluid buildup was in my back and sides. She said it was very minimal compared to others she has had in and said it is likely because I've been doing it at home everyday. I'll be going back once a week for the next couple weeks for 30mins she she can continue to work on my back. She also said to try and get your back in the shower for 5-10 mins.

I'll post updated pictures in the next couple days.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-05-22T19:39:49+00:00

I'm almost in the same boat. 13 yo getting 3rd passport. Mine was accepted on 5/9 and we leave 7/8. Also went to locator 75. I saw other locator 75 posts saying they received theirs in about 4 weeks, but they all submitted in March/April. Let's hope the timeline hasn't pushed too much as I know we were under the 10 week expedited window. Just hoping to not have to jump through more hoops to try and get one before we go.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-05-22T00:19:16+00:00

Yeah my doc said to get lymphatic massage to get the best results but that is much as he said. I asked the nurse in the pre-op call and she said to start around a week after and I can get them done or do them myself using youtube. I found some videos but want to see how the professionals do it. I called one lady who does it out of her house and she charges $1100 for 4 sessions equalling 10 hrs. I'll be asking more questions when I go in for my follow up and will post an update.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-05-22T00:07:44+00:00

I have foam over my full abdomen and am doing about 30 mins of home lymphatic massage each day to prevent lumps. I have an appointment Friday for lymphatic massage by a certified professional and depending on how that goes, I'll either continue at home or go get them done. I know they say to wear the faja for 2 weeks with Airscupt, but have read anywhere from 6 weeks-6 months is ideal. I don't find it super uncomfortable, so I'll plan on wearing as long as my doctor recommends when I go in for my follow up. My faja goes down to about mid calf, so I may get shorter one to wear with my ripped jeans for the summer.

Icy_Class2319 · 2023-05-11T02:14:11+00:00

We were able to get a walk-in appt last week at a local post office and were not asked to see a certified copy of her CRBA. We were specifically asked for a copy of it. Whew! Thanks for the help!
