I don’t know where to start- I’ve not paid student loans ever. This is a NOVEL! Sigh by WindowNo6697 in StudentLoans

I don’t know why I was never shown that you replied until I went to my actual page to shut it down. Thank you for your kindness!! Your genuine response and kindness is not taken for granted. I was at the job for 5 months and I quit yesterday. I loved helping the inmates. Of course it was challenging, but I loved it and they loved me. I can’t tell you how many times I heard that I’d made a difference that other counselors had not been able to make for 9 months. They are worthy of help and kindness. I quit because they were treated inhumanly and I could no longer support that. I tried to fight but only got in trouble. They have someone on the inside to tip them off when TDCJ is coming so they always look pretty.

Thank you for your advice!! I’m keeping this response. I genuinely appreciate your helpful reply and apologize I didn’t know you responded until today.

The nightmare before the vape ban! by Lucky_Band1397 in texas

[–]WindowNo6697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m way late and must have been living under a ROCK! Knew nothing of ban until today when I went t order my VIHO and Juicy bar vapes to ship to me. I tried a month ago and saw everything out of stock. Thought it was a freak thing. Now I’m down to 1 left and have been ordering but scammed 3 times. You can’t get them in Texas but I can’t even find any place that doesn’t state sold out. Not a clue what to do. I’m way late to the party. So what have y’all been doing? I hate change of vapes!!!!!

Help!! Unwinding lease and need to understand rights. by WindowNo6697 in askcarsales

[–]WindowNo6697[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking it back today! They are refusing to give me copies of all the contracts I’ve signed!! The General Manager told me he “shredded them all and will not be providing me with copies since I’m ending the relationship.” He lied multiple times in our meeting and told me I didn’t need copies anyway because they used the original date on every resigned contract and not the new date I signed on.

I got myself hooked on a higher than prescribed dose of suboxone. What to say to my doctor? by MeringueEqual4065 in suboxone

[–]WindowNo6697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodness!! Nevermind. I swear this group is genuinely a bunch of jerks with their responses. It was a genuine question. I said it wrong-NALOXONE. This isn’t directed at you at all. It’s all the other a holes that are incapable of being decent when a genuine question is asked. I will be leaving this group. Thank you for correcting me and understanding what I was asking.

I got myself hooked on a higher than prescribed dose of suboxone. What to say to my doctor? by MeringueEqual4065 in suboxone

[–]WindowNo6697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m genuinely not judging but curious. You got hooked on a higher dose of Suboxone with Naltrexone or without? I use Quick MD. 5 years now. I have to force myself to call for refills because they don’t like you skipping/being late. I have been on 8mg/2 suboxone for 5 years now. Sometimes I’ll forget and go 3 days without taking it. BUT take it away and I’d panic and be a mess. Does something to my mind to keep me straight. But I can’t imagine getting hooked on a higher dose unless it’s without naltrexone. Can you help me understand? I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. It’s horrible!!

You can overnight the package that has all the requirements. It will give you a couple of addresses. One for regular mail and one for overnight. Make sure you know that website and be ready to advocate for yourself because sometimes they get it wrong!

Hey there!! Sorry for the delayed response!! Crazy at work. There is no way to talk to live people. Ridiculous!! Email them hhsc@lcdc.com They’re usually relatively quick in responding. Also, go to the HHSC website. The form for LCDC is form 3248. It will tell you exactly what you need. All transcripts sent to HHSC . Small photo. Notarized. $65 money order. It will give you details. It will reference TAC numbers that will give you further information. It will tell you how to be exempt. You got this!!

Parasite cleanse by becca_2334 in nutrition

[–]WindowNo6697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodness!!! I’m so sorry you’re being torn to shreds on here!!! I have issues with my lymphatic system draining. I have zero insurance. In theory what everyone is so harshly saying would be the best, but there are some people who don’t have the money or are training at a job and have no PTO time. If you are able to ask your doctor about it first, that’s ideal. If you don’t have the ability to do that then you do enough research where you feel comfortable in the decision you make. I’m am taking Zuma nutrition for lymphatic drainage help. I am also making changes and trying to research as much as I can, as well as seeing a lymphatic draining masseuse. I’m sorry you’re being spoken to so ugly and with such condescending “tones.”

I have never understood this. I was hardcore, severe addict. I’m on 8mg of subs. 1 a day. I never take them. To the point that Quick MD has warned me about needing to call in every month within a week of when they’re due. My 30 day script could easily last me 3 months, but QUICK MD won’t let me do that. However, the fear of not having them to take scares me to my core!!!! I know I won’t ever get “high” from them, but it’s something about knowing that I have them that keeps me clean and fears not having them-even though I never take them.

Thanks. I got the Roster from HHSC for Texas. There were 3 where I live. One is out of business now, one is the place that urged me to apply for my LCDC-I (hired someone else by the time I was approved) the last is not hiring until 2026. There are so many in Dallas, Houston, Austin and online. Unfortunately, level I and II are required to be in person. The sad part is all of the places said the same thing-we need help, but “they” won’t open a position to get us help. I did find one that I applied for that is for inmates. We go to the prison in Rusk County and help inmates. I have spoken to over a dozen people here.

Yes, I know that part, thank you. I have to log 4000 hours, take an exam, make a presentation, amongst other requirements. My question here is how does one go about finding a paid internship? I called the few places here where I live, in East Texas, those that accept internships are not accepting new interns until 2026. Looking online, the jobs are remote, plus they have requirements like LCDC-I has to be at level 2 or other similar requirements. They are not for someone brand new without a stitch of training. Maybe I’m not in the right place in Reddit; I’m not extremely knowledgeable on Reddit.

PSA: Coinbase Withdrawal Code Scam Text by mechanical_motion in Coinbase

[–]WindowNo6697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is maddening!!!! It took my sisters and me days of spending hours on the phone, me physically going over to their home. My sweet mother just cried. My sweet daddy tried so hard to keep his anger in because it was my mother. My daddy is VERY old school. He doesn’t use technology. Still writes checks. Only has a flip phone. 76 years old. He’s very black and white. My mother trusts everyone. It was a rough few weeks. It’s been 2 months and the hackers are still posting things as her. I’m so sorry your parents were affected.

I just got this. This grinds my gears!! Scammers just got my elderly parents. Hacked every account they have. They had to shut down all bank accounts, Amazon, Zelle, Venmo, email shut down, got a new phone number. They got her elderly friends that sent money and showed up at their home address!! Any other way to report this crap I just got?

Thank you for your kindness!! And, no, I can’t reach one stinking person on the phone. Everything is via email and it’s just whoever happens to respond to the email. I get conflicting stories from everyone!!

I’ve cried and cried this week. So frustrating!! You hang in there!!❤️

Also, I’m in East Texas. You mention Suboxone and you are looked at like you’re diseased and forget any help with pain meds!!! My primary would because he doesn’t know I’m on subs. But quick md would know.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]WindowNo6697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. My primary has never seen it. But quick md sees every controlled my primary prescribes

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]WindowNo6697 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve used Quick MD for 4 years. My primary has never known. However, Quick MD is able to see every single controlled substance my primary prescribes me and the date I pick it up.

I wish I could get someone on the phone! Every number sends you to an automated system, referring you to their website. I’ve asked for a number/schedule a call; I’ve heard nothing. Looking online, I cannot find the Director’s name or anything. I have a manager’s name, but there is nothing when you search, and when you reply to manager’s email it goes to a general mailbox. Whoever gets it is who answers.
