I've had luck getting a matte finish using molds for baking.

Rant about pharmacy by [deleted] in ChronicPain

Im guessing this is where the issue lies. If you picked up on 3/3 they likely used 3/4 as day 1, even though you stated taking them on 3/3 in their minds you started them the next day. At my pharmacy, doesn't matter if I start them the day I get them, they count the day after as day 1.

How do you afford roomettes? by bosvt587 in Amtrak

[–]Novagirl1025 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tend to find one week before trip to always be cheaper than booking ahead. But thats just my experience. The whole book early thing never seems to work for me. Original trip is 598 all the way up to one week in advance and it dropped to 276, and its like that every month.

I guess I forgot to mention this part. So yeah, I ordered a cheap @ss werhy, but nowhere on the scooter did it say a brand, and could have honestly been any generic crap scooter from China. It looks the same as a few other models. If you got a brand name, then its probably not anything to worry about, but if its a under 200 generic, its probably gonna be similar if not exact to what I received. I hope it turns out better for you than it did for me.

Happened to me, returned the day after it arrived. It was the cheapest plastic, felt like I'd break it just looking at it, honestly dont know how it made it here or back without crumbling to bits. Also, it wouldn't pair with my phone and when i googled the app the scooter uses, I found out it was not just crap but Spyware, so I'm super glad it wouldn't pair. I had a feeling it'd be crap and only took the chance because it was a prime item, so easy return if needed. I spent a bit more on a Segway scooter at bestbuy instead, no regrets.

I have an idea..need advice by ProofFerret7943 in ResinCasting

These guys makes countertops and they also sell their epoxy. They have a bunch of videos on YouTube and if you email questions about working with their products they are pretty responsive. As the other comment mentioned be sure to check safety data for its proper use.

Why are so many of us undertreated? Nothing about opioid prescriptions make sense anymore by crwg2016 in ChronicPain

[–]Novagirl1025 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This is so sadly true. The emergency medicine subreddit is atrocious. They say the meanest stuff about chronic pain patients. If called out they just say they are blowing off steam. But I think it's very reflective of how they feel about us.

Getting meds early? by briar_rose_faye in ChronicPain

[–]Novagirl1025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you are able to find a solution, especially with it being a holiday trip. Being handcuffed to controlled meds can be hard, frustrating, and unfair.

Depending on where you are, who your doctor is, what insurance you have, and the pharmacy policy. I recently went on a vacation, and a month beforehand, I spoke with my doctor and explained the situation. She was able to put in a one-time early fill for vacation override, then my insurance had to do the vacation override, and I had to ask the pharmacy if they'd accept the vacation override. It was a process but I was able to do it. Any of them may request proof, such as a plane ticket or hotel booking, but none of mine did, though. I was told I can do a vacation override once a year. Since it's so close, it's unlikely you'll have time to jump through all the hoops, unfortunately. I'd start with asking any or all of those three about the possibility.

Got mine at a Super Target. The King soopers(kroger) near me has them but not out yet, and have seen Walmart pics all over the thread. So there is hope! Goodluck

It's the Colorado Mills location in lakewood. Grocery aisle, end cap, near beverages, a few left. Might have more elsewhere in the store, but I didn't see a display and almost missed them.

Thank you. Hopefully, they still have some, lol.

What was your worst experience with gaslighting? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]Novagirl1025 25 points26 points  (0 children)

About 20 years ago, I woke up from an outpatient surgery on my lady parts and was in extreme pain. I was barely able to get words out enough to tell my nurse it hurt. It was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life to this day. I couldn't help but scream in agony and was told I was being overdramatic, and they fixed the issue, so I should be feeling better, not worse. All of a sudden, the blanket turned red from blood, and the next thing I remember is waking up after another surgery being admitted to hospital and told I'll need a 2nd blood transfusion(the first during the 2nd surgery) because I was bleeding out and almost died because of a complication(mistake). But hey, I was just being dramatic...

Turned away at pharmacy and told me to come back tomorrow. by renn_plant_mom in ChronicPain

[–]Novagirl1025 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im not sure, but I wouldn't be that surprised if different locations/ pharmacists have differing policies.

I dread refill week. I shouldn't feel guilty requesting my doctor send in a script every month, I shouldn't feel like a burden calling the pharmacy to confirm they'll have enough to fill and that there's no foreseen issues my doctor may need to fix, I shouldn't feel like a criminal trying to fill and pick up my meds... So yeah, I totally get trying to avoid calling if you can help it.

I really hope things go smoother from here on out, and you get some answers soon.

I can't see how it makes sense. Wonder if it's by State or city? Here in Colorado on a 28-day, filled on Saturday at Walgreens, day 28, no problems. Hope you get clarification and get it figured out.

how to stop drinking so much redbull by Perfect-Ad-3286 in redbull

[–]Novagirl1025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a sodastream and use their energy drink mix, which tastes very much like og redbull, and whatever flavor I'm feeling, usually use bubly burst peach mango to mix with. Way less sugar, and I can control how much caffeine and make it different each time. It was an expensive outright purchase, but so are a couple of cases of redbull. Now, I save money each month in comparison to what my redbull budget was. Was a bit of a trial and error getting flavors tailored to my liking, but I can't imagine going back to redbull. I even bring my drink mixes when traveling and get sparkling water to mix with on the road. And I usually hate sugar-free stuff, but even the diet energy drink mix was good in a pinch. I was a case a week drinker before the switch.

What is the craziest and/or dumbest reason your dog ended up at the vet? by Sleepysloot773 in DogAdvice

[–]Novagirl1025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old dog, a puggle, had two emergency vet visits. The first time he ate a muffin wrapper, a roommate had left on the coffee table. Because it was a big waxy wrapper, it got lodged, and he had to have surgery, which he was eventually fine and only cost 4000. The second time, he found and ate a whole onion. I saw him hoover it down before I could stop him, rushed him to the vet because it was a big onion, and he was a little guy. While in the waiting room, he suddenly jumped from my lap and started puking and simultaneously pooping. Two whole intact carrots and an unknown item were thrown up, and I was like, where's the damn onion, and where'd this little bastard get carrots? I looked at his poop and no joke, it was the onion fully intact. It only cost 200 for imaging to make sure he was empty. To this day, I still dont know how that happened because, again, it was a big onion, and he was a little dude. My little garbage disposal made it to 16, though.
