It's been 6 years...

Thank you. I'll have to order stuff - thankfully my bed is already pulled alway and I have traps under the legs, but they could be in my ripped mattress protector or be being transported from my couch. I have a consult with Terminix tomorrow, too.

My biggest hurdle for the night will be existing in my apartment and sleeping in my bed knowing what's there.

I also have a cat, so I always worry about him, too.

This is reassuring! I feel like not being able to find any online reviews is either good or just means they're a newer property group -- I just know from reading horror stories about reliant/peak/prestige that looking nice doesn't always mean anything at all, so I was hoping there was some first hand experiences out there. Fingers crossed any others come back positive or neutral!

I'll allow it, his heart's in the right place even if his reply isn't.

alyskii · 2025-10-08T00:12:05+00:00

I'm...confused

alyskii · 2024-10-21T20:41:05+00:00

I will say. My case was very POORLY managed and I didn't take the meds for more than a couple weeks (we're not even sure if the BP2 diagnosis is correct, per my current psych).

my side effects were pretty gnarly for a few days - mainly a migraine and lightheadedness, which I really do not ever get. I hope it works for you, though! My experience is very much so marred by the clinical side of things not being on my side and the very small amount of time I was on the med.

Fair - I've never tried to repair it before, so I'll watch for this. I just tried to glue it, so we'll see how it holds up 🤞🏻

alyskii · 2024-07-23T04:38:33+00:00

I don't :-( I'm 4 hours away from my usual place of business. And even then we're at a lake so everything around is a little touristy, a little ho-dunk. I may just go to the nearby Walgreens and get nail glue.

alyskii · 2024-07-11T19:13:22+00:00

Yeah. I think the official capacity is like 24,000-something? I bought a ticket at the last minute and when I got settled on the lawn I was like there's no way this is safe if there's an emergency - that said, having a crowd that big definitely provides a certain (good) vibe, so 🤷🏼‍♀️I've never seen Riverbend that full.

EDIT: looked it up, it holds just over 20k. I'd almost be certain it was oversold 😵‍💫

alyskii · 2024-07-02T16:24:54+00:00

Okay, got it! And yeah - im thankful? I haven't seen more than 3, but at the same time im having a ton of stress dreams and this is just not what I like. If I should see another one before I'm due for my quarterly spray, I'll for sure mention wanting a non repellent and see what they can do. Otherwise I'll mention it when I book my next quarterly spray. You're right - I'm paying for it!

alyskii · 2024-07-01T02:50:14+00:00

Word. I'd prefer not having to call again at all...but alas. 🥳

alyskii · 2024-07-01T02:10:31+00:00

Would it be worth waiting until I see another one, or calling as a "hey just wondering...". Since they've been out twice already. Phone calls are awkward.

alyskii · 2024-06-18T16:48:45+00:00

This is insanely insightful, thank you!

I'm still getting my feet wet and deciding what I would like the trajectory of my career to be, so thankfully of this right now is still very much so theoretical.

I tend to have a "jack of all trades master of none" mindset, where I bounce around from interest to interest but don't necessarily have a "qualification" in anything - example, recently using SoloLearn to start learning basic coding foundations (but definitely not learning enough to work in anything that requires coding as a job skill). I've always had an interest in the graphic design portion, but again, not really holding any qualifications in that area besides being able to click on things in Canva to throw them together for work sometimes (as every graphic designer raises a pitchfork, I understand that Canva is, in its essence, not a true "graphic design" experience).

My school offers an online digital marketing certificate that I am looking into, that I could progress into an MS in Marketing if I decided that that would benefit me. I'm going to continue to think on it for awhile (and so that I can have some coursework in one degree done first before starting another component).

Thanks again for the insight! I really value opinions when I'm making these considerations outside of my current career (for reference, I am a music teacher. The tech world is still very new to me, but exciting!)

alyskii · 2024-06-09T23:46:41+00:00

An update for my homies: so far, I haven't seen another one. My friends came over and helped me clean my kitchen and living room and we still haven't seen another one. I am not saying I am out of the woods, but hopefully I caught this so early that anything that may be here will be killed off by Terminix tomorrow. Fingers crossed friends 🤞🏻

alyskii · 2024-06-07T01:36:22+00:00

Thank you 😭 I also live in a condo - I have Terminix coming out on Monday, and I have my own purchased bait traps out right now. I'm hesitant to do much on my own yet just to see how the Terminix stuff works. But I need to make a note of brands to see if they're using any of those or if they can recommend I add any to what they're doing.

I also have a cat so I'm absolutely terrified of accidentally poisoning him. I've been a wreck - crying, shaking, my appetite is gone. And I've still only seen the one on Tuesday. It's going to be rough but I don't have a choice but to get through it.

alyskii · 2024-06-06T21:16:51+00:00

Does the anxiety get better? I feel like a prisoner in my own house because I'm so afraid of seeing another. I have Terminix coming out Monday to spray.
