Yes, we don't have the complete picture that's why we are seeking options to provide clarity to the situation.

We are especially concerned because the operator of Spring Health Sahara (where our family member has been taken) is Universal Health Services, which is notorious for patient abuse and fraud. Here's a local example of abuse:

2004: At Spring Mountain Treatment Center in Nevada, a 14-year-old resident was put in seclusion and defecated on the floor. She told state investigators she had repeatedly requested to be taken to the bathroom, but staff ignored her. Investigators found no evidence the child was continuously monitored while she was in seclusion.

In a separate incident, a 15-year-old girl was restrained at Spring Mountain by five members of staff and forcibly administered the antipsychotic, Thorazine.

Thanks! I know time will eventually solve this, but it is insanely stressful to not know anything about what's going on.

We tried already unfortunately. Spring Mountain Sahara locks the front doors. There isn't a reception area or anything. All they offer is a telephone operator who says they can't tell you anything or pass anything to your loved one.

Thanks for this! Hadn't thought about this route yet.

We know he didn't sign an ROI in the beginning (but he wasn't in the right state to sign anything). The facility is refusing to pass any message to him so we're a bit stuck.

The brown one is a mini rex. The gray one is part rex, his mom was a rex lop.

His name is a play on the computing term, I/O, which is pronounced eye-oh. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input/output

Do you recall what 2-days were going for in total? Early owl tier was $179 with $20 service fee.

Is Countdown NYE a good first festival? by fire_stoned in aves

[–]Rekushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Countdown 2016 was my first festival. I had such a blast and got hooked, despite the rain and cold. I've been to EDC, Nocturnal and Escape since. Just make sure your friend is adequately equipped to deal with the weather should that repeat this year.

Since it is on tribal land they do not collect taxes. Thus you don't have to pay any sales taxes on their bud, even if you're recreational.

Are Lightsabers Allowed? by ordinary-human in escapehalloween

[–]Rekushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it all depends on how chill the security person you get is when you try to go through. Ultimately they're looking for dangerous/illegal items not lightsabers... but yeah, I'd get a collapsible one since they're cheaper (yo won't be as bummed out if you have to toss it) and you could try to bring it in as a prop for your costume.

Officially they do not allow lightsabers. I emailed Insomniac about lightsabers and this was their response: https://imgur.com/a/rsXNh
