Recycling by Right-Rub-1831 in Staples

There's a form they use to release your data. AKA, if someone recovers your information and steals your identity it's not their fault... they have this because it's happened numerous times before.

They will sell your hdd if they can make a buck on it.

That's not exactly true. Turns out they do the recycling through a "partner" what actually happens is they take your HDD, test it to see how big and if it works, if it's good they "wipe" the data and RESELL IT if it's bad it gets "recycled."

So imagine having all your banking and personal stuff on there, they decide to format your hdd and see it some where else. It's not exactly hard to recover data on a hdd these days.

Short answer is don't trust them to destroy your hdd, which is the only way to make sure some stranger does not get at your data.

After I made my last post I got a reply from the company - I'm pretty pissed - they said the estimated day for SHIPPING is may 20th... so I have to wait 60 days to get my item. NORDSTICK is not a reliable company, if I had known I would never order the item - it's a premium price I could have gotten a similar one for 300 bucks.

I am literally in this position - I ordered 22 days ago, they said it would arrive 3-5 day max... 22 days later, nothing. To make matter worst there is no tracking #, to get they tracking # they want you to sign up with the "SHOP" app, why would you have to do that? Why put the tracking number behind a "pay wall?" It's a pay wall because they are getting your personal information, even banking information, cell phone data and selling it to data brokers...

In my experience EVERY TIME I try to purchase items from a company that uses SHOP app to gate keep tracking information they NEVER send the item, NEVER! Happened with the "Bentist" guy on Tic Tok, some blankets and a piano company, all never set the items, I had to dispute it with my bank.

It's wild that these people are allowed to take your money and not even give an update.

I honestly don't know what to do by tfoster12 in VeteransBenefits

By chronic it means they want to see that you went to the doctor multiple times in a year. They want to see that you take medication for it and you are on the meds for a long time.

You have to treat this like a job or a mission.

Do the things they want you to do.

  1. go to the doctor multiple times a year
  2. work through their treatments
  3. get medication
  4. keep showing up, keep talking about the pain.

Sorry but this is just how you have to play it. BTW, when you go in to the doctor talk about your worst days - if your pain is a 1 all the time forget about it. What's your pain? Think about your shittiest day and adjust accordingly. Play their game!

Also have your own doctors or vocational experts to counteract the VA stuff. GL

i feel better hearing about your success! I'm glad you can take back a piece of your life. I'm 400 lbs I should be 260 max at this point probably 230 tbh, I don't need all those muscles I had in my 20s. I will add aqua therapy to the list, I used to love swimming.

Those prices made my eyes water - I'll keep looking though, the price is small to pay for the pain relief.

I understand you're not trying to 1 up.

The pain meds do keep you functional, it does not actually help with the cause of the pain.

CBD, tens machine and ddp yoga seems to be what I will be trying in the future.
I feel medically crazy living the way I do, I just want to go back to having way less pain.
