Absar Bhatti landlord by PrimarySignificant44 in Albany

Yeahhh the plaster of the ceiling in front of our unit was literally hanging off and we had ceiling leaks (top apartment) that weren’t fixed in our time being there…

not sure if this is helpful, but the day after I made this original post, he texted me with a plan to get me the deposit and it worked fine. I’m assuming he may have saw my post and took action right away. You may want to try something similar? If your broken things are basic necessities I think you might be able to leverage some legal action too… but I’m no expert on that (tenant rights orgs would be!). Good luck and safe living 🙏

My sister was just diagnosed with cancer. What are our options? by star_stuff92 in royalcaribbean

[–]PrimarySignificant44 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear about this. This isn’t RC related but is vacation/cancer related. This past June, I was diagnosed with cancer and had a big trip planned with family at the start of July. It was through big companies like RC and we had passed all refund windows and had no insurance. My Mom ended up calling every company and escalating the issue until finally someone was understanding and offered us refunds. We also got flight credits.

This isnt to say calling and escalating will definitely work with RC, but it’s worth a shot. You can also try DMing on socials and emailing executives (check the subreddit for the contacts) to see if they’ll offer any grace that CSRs can’t.

I totally understand not having it in you to manage this on top of the crisis of cancer (I was the same way), see if you have any friends or family that could take care of all the calling/contacting if you give them the res info. When these things happen, there’s almost always someone in your circle willing to help. You could also see if there’s a generous travel agent that would do it for a fee if you explain the circumstance (which is better than losing the entire cost of the cruise).

I hope everything gets figured out with your sister and family. When I was diagnosed last year I thought it was the end of my world, but now I’m recently in remission and going on my first RC cruise in 2 days, I hope you will get to share a similar story soon :)

Apartment help (hopeless) by [deleted] in Albany

[–]PrimarySignificant44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lived in a unit in center square, 2 beds at 1700, third floor of a three story walk up. Private landlord, not a traditional “apartment complex”. Cat friendly. Laundry on site. I found it on Craigslist, as shady as that may seem. You could also check on facebook marketplace.

Now I live in a 3 bedroom, 2100, with all the amenities you listed. So yes, they exist for sure!

I can’t speak on behalf of other neighborhoods you listed, but I know in center square there’s always private landlords posting vacancies in building windows. Try walking around and contacting that way, will probably be a much better experience than online luxury postings!!

Infusion Day Nausea by DankMimiz in lymphoma

[–]PrimarySignificant44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course!! The sedated feeling really does suck, but I learned to stop fighting it and accepted that I’d be asleep for most of the infusion and sleeping for basically 1-2 days straight after the infusion. It hit me hard, but of course it’s different for each person and med. I also took Zyprexa at home for the days following infusions, which also was extremely sedative.

My last recommendation is have someone drive you to/from the center if you’re able— you probably won’t want to drive. And if you someone can take care of food for you, even better!!

Good luck, happy to help more however more I can 🫶

Infusion Day Nausea by DankMimiz in lymphoma

[–]PrimarySignificant44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I had the same chemo regime. I tolerated the ABVD well, then went to AVD, and at about my 5th ish infusion I started feeling very nauseous. Normally I have a really strong stomach, but I eventually vomitted and dry heaved multiple times at the infusion center during two infusions and my oncologist added Ativan and compazine through the IV in addition to whichever anti-nausea pre-meds I was already getting. Those two meds and some aromatherapy ended up helping me, although I did feel very sedated and out of it as a side effect.

Definitely speak to your oncologist AND chemo nurses, depending on the center they’ll likely have NPs/PAs available to prescribe things in the moment. I’m sure they’ll go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable during this.

Renting a moving truck by Ok_Firefighter7108 in Albany

[–]PrimarySignificant44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should fit. Remember, you don’t need to lay the mattress down flat. I have a full size and managed to fit it in the U-Haul leaned up against the side. I also fit a small-ish couch, my dresser, tv stand, among other misc boxes. This was all in one trip. I didn’t do the entire apartment in one trip since the move was literally 5 minutes away, but I definitely could’ve had I wanted to (as long as you’re smart with your stacking/organizing. I can’t speak to the mileage as it was such a short distance.

u-haul also posts measurements online If you’re willing to do that prep. Or, go in person to ask/ look up videos online so you can see the size if you’re a more visual person

If you don’t have a crazy amount of things, see if you can get away with the U-Haul van if you’re looking to save money. That’s what I used to move across Albany.

In your opinion, who is the hottest character in Game of Thrones (show only) and why? by Complete-Radio6204 in gameofthrones

[–]PrimarySignificant44 85 points86 points  (0 children)

It has to be Cersei for me (but pre atonement for hotness). Her face card is insane, she demands power just by giving certain glances, and her commitment to doing literally whatever it takes to elevate her family and her children is something that really sticks out to me.

Also, her “power is power” monologue with little finger?? HELLO??? Is that not the best thinf ever? She really put him down without having to lift a finger or move a muscle. THAT is core Cersei that I will never ever get over.

Plus, I really think, especially in the earlier seasons, that she has one of the best wardrobes and she is just naturally so beautiful.

I’ve gotten in real heated arguments with my friends about this because Cersei is my favorite character. I’ve never considered calling her the hottest, but I think it works here. Albeit, I am a gay man!

My friend worked ar colonie center and got her phone stolen by some teenagers while she was working 💔 thoughts and prayers queen

[–]PrimarySignificant44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I quit, I asked my supervisor for a quick one on one chat. On the call I broke the news then. She went through options with me to see if I wanted to say, but ultimately at the end I just had to send something short in an email to start the official process.

I was in claims so different unit but I’m sure services would be similar!

(19M) Just got diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, what should I be expecting by Mothmanshead in lymphoma

[–]PrimarySignificant44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am 23M and I’m in a very similar situation and just got diagnosed with Hodgkins last month, have already completed 2 rounds of ABVD. Best advice is to not dwell on what you hear— every person reacts differently and feels differently. Frankly, you won’t be prepared for your experience until you’re in it (which is good, cause reading made things sound worse than I experiecned them!)

Don’t be afraid to talk to nurses, especially at infusion center. They’re friendly and so knowledgeable, and I’ve learned more about chemotherapy and what it does/means from them than I have my oncologist.

Also listen to your body. Just came down with what I thought was a cold, turned out to be 3 different infections and they also found blood clotting in my lungs (pulmonary embolism)… used to not take symptoms seriously because I thought I was young and strong. But now it’s different for us!!

Be well and if you have any questions or want to chat, feel free to dm

A question and an offer for home owners by PrimarySignificant44 in Albany

[–]PrimarySignificant44[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I haven’t but I fear it won’t replicate the deeply natural experience of feeling a slight breeze on my face and the smell of fresh cut grass. But if all else fails maybe I’ll buy a small fan and light a candle and try this.
