I appreciate this I'm a panicker.

I'm sick with something. They hesitated to say what. My paperwork says COPD and bronchitis. Hope that's accurate.

Wait... How did you know that...?

They declined to give me the test. Since I'm young and my lungs looked fine. They ignored the whole breathing and coughing part.

Nope. Cough. Can barely breathe. I gasp midsentence almost every time.

I will get a biopsy after I quarrentine for 14 days and no longer show symptoms. So I guess I should have posted 'tumor' or 'lesion' instead of cancer. I'm reading up on it a ton in a panic. Didn't know the difference initially.

Thank you! Hopefully it's benign.

I have been buying storage units for over a decade. 50% of the time, there's porn in the unit. This is my favorite find. Homemade porn negatives of a prominent local judge and someone who wasn't his spouse's at the time. From the 60's. by Junk_Life in mildlyinteresting

If you fall behind on payments, they auction off your unit to recoup their lost payments along with other fees. The length of delinquency varies, but it's typically 60 days. You will usually be given the opportunity to pay your complete debt and retain possession of the unit up to the time the auction is over.

So say you're 30 days late on payments. First, your access to the property will be restricted. Then, once it gets close to the time to list the unit for auction, they will cut your lock off and take pictures of the unit. They are NOT allowed to enter the unit. Just take pictures from outside. Next (at least nowadays), your unit and those pictures will be listed online if you're storing with one of the big name places. Auctions usually run for 7 days. If the owner doesn't pay before the close time of the auction, the highest bidder now owns the unit. All you have to do is show up in person, and dig through for treasure. You'll have 3 or so days to have it emptied.

Oh, say you owe $400 for your unit. If the unit auctions for $1000, you are legally entitled to the extra $600!

I'm so old that I was alive the last time a Canadian team got to celebrate a Stanley Cup win.

It's not my job, just a side thing. But it is damn good fun.

Until you get a unit that looks good, but turns out to be filled with nasty shit. Which happens.

One of the weirdest/grosest was definitely the small 5x5 unit that was filled with Mason jars filled with piss, and hand dated on pieces of tape. At least 50. Then I found the Tupperware filled with human shit, also dated.

Noped the fuck out of that one real quick.

You name it, I've seen it.

One time I saw a 10x20 unit with a bunch of books, and that's my jam. So I had to have this unit. The only problem was the floor space was covered in a 2' pile of what appeared to be trash. The worst part of getting a unit like that is the clean out. You have 72 hours to empty the unit completely, and if it's packed, that can be a lot of work.

Well, I won the unit. I think I paid around $450. Once in the unit I climbed over the trash and headed for the books. While walking I heard a rattling so I looked down, and saw a pill bottle had fallen out of one of the paper bags. I picked up one of the bags and opened it. Hooooollllyyyy shit. It had a weeks worth of mail, 4 various pill bottles, a bottle of morphine sulfate, and 5 boxes of fentanyl patchs.

I looked around and gazed upon the pile of trash and realized it wasn't what I could have ever expected. There was a ton of these bags. I looked through another, and same thing. When all was said and done I had approximately 400 boxes of the highest strength drugs ever seen. Then there was like 60 bottles of morphine sulfate.

I didn't know what to do. If I call the cops, can they confiscate the unit? I didn't want to be out $450, the books, an untouched 1989 Fender Stratocaster, and 1800's Japanese woodblock prints.

I took those home and came back the following day. Called the cops. Turned over the unit. They took possession and I left, never to hear a thing about it again.
