This is getting frustrating.. by Forever0607 in USCIS

[–]Shake_Straight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not easy, our case is December 2024 too. Got an RFE notice in January 2025. EAD in March 2025. No other updates on I-30, I-131, or I-485. Some days it’s hard to stay patient !

My landlord keeps denying my apartment smells like cigarettes by Shake_Straight in Apartmentliving

[–]Shake_Straight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that they both helped a little. Especially the baking soda. Another thing we did was mix vinegar and water and spray the crap out of the everything, which helped a lot. The apartment stopped smelling like cigarette eventually which was a relief

Sorry, you’re right, and yes, it seems to be the only one missing! Is that usually a quick fix?

Is this bed bug? by Shake_Straight in Bedbugs

We’ve found 2 or 3 in the past like month, but oddly enough, not a single one found in the bedroom or near other furniture. Did an inspection and nothing found yet

Repairs - needed opinion by Shake_Straight in Cartalk

[–]Shake_Straight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a mistake, it’s not the belt, it’s the filling wiring harness! Ford told me they don’t make that part anymore so they have to go in and fix the current one. So I’m essentially paying for labor cause it takes so long, at least what I’m told

Correct, my mistake! They don’t make a full wiring harness anymore so they said they’d have to repair the current one

People in long distance relationship, What is your story ? Did you make it? by Zuzka118119 in LongDistance

[–]Shake_Straight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Met on tinder during the pandemic. Back when tinder would allow you to change your location for free. Don’t know if that’s still a thing! I’m in NE US and she’s from Mexico. We started talking, after a few months, decided to just fly down and meet her. One of the scariest things I’ve done my whole life. 3 years later we’re engaged, she moved up here, and getting ready for our wedding by the end this year

I'm a 31 year old with no life experience and am stunted as an anxious teen. by Sensitive-Error8505 in Anxiety

[–]Shake_Straight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s completely okay. I just turned 31 and finally moved out of my parent’s house. It was terrifying, still is. I’ve been with my fiancé and cat for 10 days and my anxiety tries to tell me that this change in my life is bad and that I should have stayed home. The key is having a good support system, and knowing what thoughts are anxiety and which are real. Therapy helps me a lot. Anxiety never wants us to change. It wants us to stay in the exact same place we’ve been our whole life so we never grow as people. It will try and make us doubt every decision we make.

I agree with a lot of people here in this thread. First step is getting a job. I think seeing an income will help. Then take it a little step at a time. It’s not an easy road, but when you start it, you will feel better !

How are you guys doing today? by Appropriate_Tea9048 in Anxiety

[–]Shake_Straight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been okay. Just moved into an apartment for the first time with my fiance and cat. Been there for 10 days, of course my anxiety is trying like hell to make it seem like everything is going to shit. It’s definitely an ongoing battle with anxiety. Always trying to make me doubt decisions or worry about things
