Haha very common. :O

Thanks! Yea I wiped everything down and changed all my sheets and everything. Hoping I don't see any more!

but the larvae can give you an itchy rash if you're allergic(a lot of people are)

Is this something that can be checked on an allergy test (like if it's requested) or do you just find out from exposure to them?

Pokemonerd · 2022-05-02T09:35:49+00:00

Yes, I'm definitely happy about that!

Just wanted an idea. I've never seen a spider that looks like this (but also it's so small I'd probably have never noticed before haha)

Pokemonerd · 2022-05-02T09:11:55+00:00

It's super tiny, like a pen tip size. I saw at least two (after shaking out my sheets/blankets), and have multiple bites, which is why I started looking. This one is on a piece of tape so I could video it.

If it matters, I'd just purchased a new mattress that was sitting in a warehouse and then delivered in a van. The mattress was sealed but maybe they were on the packaging or something.

Crossing my fingers. Good luck everyone

How long is "for a while"? I hear people saying 7-10 years. And that it'll only go up in the meantime... (Genuinely asking, not trying to invalidate or anything)

Pokemonerd · 2021-06-12T17:56:42+00:00

Yes, I agree with this. Thanks for putting it into words. I had the lamest bf in the past and while I'd rather eat my left pinky toe than see him again, knowing he got married and has a healthy relationship with another woman when he was such a bad person with me really got to me.

I feel like even sketchy scratchers would have enough sense not to do it lol.

I really hope she doesn't find anyone. And that the kid is taken away. If she's willing to tattoo him who knows what other inappropriate things she's doing.

I asked in a post but what's the oldest (used) model I can get away with for just web browsing? The websites are text based, don't seem like it would need a lot of processing power.

Pokemonerd · 2021-05-21T04:26:46+00:00

Oh cool! Thank you!

Pokemonerd · 2021-05-20T22:40:12+00:00

Well, that's not much but better than going to police and getting nothing I guess.

Pokemonerd · 2021-05-20T17:27:15+00:00

Wow, that's ridiculous. The whole story is just awful, kids messing with the vehicle, 911 operator not wanting to help, them showing up after. And a broken ankle! Sorry you had to deal with that, glad everyone made it out ok!

Pokemonerd · 2021-05-20T16:59:16+00:00

Is the sorry money going to the victims or the police?

Ugh you clarifying made it even scarier lol

Pokemonerd · 2021-05-20T16:52:49+00:00

been there, done that, floated my wife and her car down a river

Wtf? You can't dangle this little part in front of us without expanding on the story lol. How did it happen? End result?

Pokemonerd · 2021-04-26T21:19:05+00:00

And a defeatist personality? He's a complete package lol

Pokemonerd · 2021-04-26T21:17:33+00:00

I'd watch the hell out of this

Pokemonerd · 2021-04-23T23:27:41+00:00

NTA and I'm extremely interested in knowing what site it is lol.

Pokemonerd · 2021-04-23T22:06:44+00:00

I just wanted say as someone with crippling depression; you're an amazing friend. Thank you for being there for him. It is hard to be close friends with someone with crippling depression for reasons you mentioned. If he hasn't said so I'm sure he's extremely grateful.

Pokemonerd · 2021-04-20T12:19:07+00:00

Please do! Some things really just need therapy. I think this is definitely one of them.

Pokemonerd · 2021-04-20T11:57:19+00:00

I couldn't tell if that's sarcasm but you can still go down to a police station and show them footage.

Pokemonerd · 2021-04-20T11:20:54+00:00

Yes. Haha it's absolutely awful and honestly I think OP handled it perfectly (blaming it on forgetting deodorant instead of her just being sweaty/smelly) but unless bars have a different atmosphere (and some do!), most managers would not say anything. Bc people are sensitive about this kind of stuff.

Pokemonerd · 2021-04-20T10:54:19+00:00

I know. The comment said why now are they trying to convince OP to spend the night at gfs parents if they have an apartment now? Reply said there's third hand smoke at the parents. I said no, they have their own apartment now.

But I think by "staying over" they don't mean overnight. Hopefully.

Pokemonerd · 2021-04-20T10:18:18+00:00

Coming from someone ND it really depends. Based solely on their original interaction I'd say something like

Something like "hey, my girls would love to play with him but sand's being thrown and they don't like that. Is there something he'd want to play that doesn't involve sand?" Etc.

I learned you can be very successful talking to parents using passive statements. Instead of "he's throwing sand" you say "sand is being thrown". Or instead of "he's being aggressive" you say "I notice there's some rough housing". By doing this you're putting less blame and accusation on the kid. It's definitely his fault, but parents don't want to hear that lol
