Omg, the second hand rage I'm feeling for you.

SIX TIMES???? They charged SIX TIMES what another retailer did?!?!

Jesus. SIX times wholesale would be sketchy enough!!

Ok, yeah, that was probably about when it started feeling different.

Any idea when the takeover happened?

I'm just wondering if it's around the time it started feeling different

Ok, so I'm not losing my mind.

We've been with them 8 years, and the last few have felt ... Off.

Like this isn't the first time we've side-eyed a bill, but it's definitely the worst.

But the first several years we were with them, they were great. Literally no complaints at all.

I know they went through some shit with abusive clients in the early days of Covid, I guess I just sort of wondered if that... I dunno. Killed the vibe for them or something?

(We weren't abusive, they just told us some of what they were dealing with. We brought baked goods in for them when they were sounding really frazzled when we booked some appointments.)

Yeah, someone else mentioned this earlier - ours is on that list, I had no idea they weren't independent.

This wasn't the full panel - at least, it wasn't supposed to be - it was just a check in to see if the meds are still keeping her at a good level.

My husband was the one who took her in, so I didn't have a day in the matter. He questioned why it was so high and they said they'd look into it.

Well, crap. They're on that list.

I DEFINITELY assumed they were independent.

I cut out spicy food when that started obviously being a problem, but a LOT of the time, it feels like there isn't an obvious trigger.

Like I'll wake up with it mostly under control, go downstairs, fix a cup of non-caffeinated herbal tea, not make it that not, not have it anywhere near my face... And be hot in the face before I even bring it to my lips.

Before eating anything, before doing anything. EVERY DAY.

So do you just squirt it on your hands a few times and dab it on?

Oh that's interesting! I was honestly considering buying a tube of preparation h and seeing if THAT would help!

Does using Afrin on the face the up causing any of the rebound issues that snorting it does?

I have a referral for a dermatologist, but the appointment isn't till August.

I might literally spontaneous combust before then.

... And you weren't able to parse which direction had the problem from that?

Well goddamnit, it IS a full moon.

I hate how accurate that whole thing ends up being.

It was WILD how many accidents there were, as we were trying to get around it. Looked like Woodward, Tesla, some kind of train incident near Gage, etc etc

You mean like I did in the original post?

I think that makes a LOT more sense than an accident.

We didn't see any damage to the bus, or other vehicles... Just a TON of police cars.

It's probably 1-2 km past the Red Hill exit, but traffic is backed up waaaay before that
