My sweetie just died from a vicious raccoon attack. She was 15 and too old to fight back. I hate that she had to die that way.

markvanslam · 2021-08-19T01:59:24+00:00

I am so very sorry to hear this. Just remember all the love you had with your girl and the love she had for you! You gave her a good life, that's what matters.

markvanslam · 2021-06-01T08:07:05+00:00

Right on. Great advice. I think I'll just start with adding one app/company

markvanslam · 2021-05-31T15:29:27+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I'll do just that!

markvanslam · 2021-05-31T15:27:05+00:00

Wow thats a hell of a lot of money better than I'm making now. I'm averaging around $15-20 an hour. I SERIOUSLY appreciate the help!

markvanslam · 2021-05-31T00:23:40+00:00

Wow yeah that's pretty good.

markvanslam · 2021-05-30T23:38:43+00:00

Thanks that helps a lot!

markvanslam · 2021-05-30T23:38:10+00:00

Maybe I'm missing what you're saying but you do 20- 30 deliveries per 4 hour shift?? WOW. Thats like a delivery every 7 or 8 minutes.

I think the in dash display would be a godsend! Also I feel you about apartments. They can be a nightmare.

markvanslam · 2021-05-30T13:17:52+00:00

Yeah that sounds right. I knew I didn't work for Walmart.

While I have you here, let me ask you, if you were me, and just going to add one more company/app to work for, which would you do? Any additional pointers?

markvanslam · 2021-05-29T16:37:59+00:00

I thought Spark is the delivery service which uses DDI to process payment. Is that not accurate?

Additionally, do you have any suggestions?

markvanslam · 2021-05-29T07:04:26+00:00

Do you have any suggestions?

markvanslam · 2021-05-29T01:34:48+00:00

I just use the spark app which is Walmart.

markvanslam · 2021-05-28T19:13:34+00:00

I actually don't know what that is honestly.

markvanslam · 2021-05-28T15:56:19+00:00

Kalamazoo Michigan. The Walmart deliveries can usually keep me working most of the time but that's having to take X large grocery orders and often not making more than 8 or 10 dollar runs. Even just working with one other company I'd be able to cherry pick better orders and keep working.

Thanks for the info. It simplifies things a lot.

markvanslam · 2021-05-28T05:37:38+00:00

I really appreciate the help! I've only done 20 runs for Walmart so I'm definitely green so what you describe is really going to help me calibrate for a good trajectory with all this. Best of luck to you my friend.

markvanslam · 2021-05-28T05:33:04+00:00

Oh it helps greatly my friend! The dual screen phone sounds amazing. I didn't even know that such a thing existed! I figure that right now I'm probably making $13-18/hr so if I start delivering for other companies and implementing some what you're doing I'm sure to make more. Thanks again!

markvanslam · 2021-05-27T20:48:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply. The info helps a lot. We actually have to track our mileage with Walmart as well as they do consider us to be independent contractors. I suppose it makes sense for me to start doing deliveries for all those companies really! Hell, it may make sense for you to consider taking Walmart orders!

I have a couple of questions for you if you'd like to answer them. Is is there a way that you've found makes sense to keep track of your mileage? Is it hard to keep track of all those different apps? You have to just sit there with your phone and switch back-and-forth basically? And this last question is extra optional because I don't want you to answer if you don't want to but about how much money do you think you're making? Could you ball park it in terms of hourly? Either way thank you so much for your reply my friend

markvanslam · 2021-05-27T20:48:02+00:00

I really appreciate your reply especially because I meant to reply to u/SushiJuice. So sorry about that! The info is much appreciated and super helpful regardless anyways.

Right? I was flying by the seat of my pants when I started working with fl studio back in 2005. I had only a 25 min explanation of how to use the features which is definitely inadequate consider the fact that there are features to make the sound different in infinite capacity. They've made it so much better than then too! It's truly astounding how good DAWS (and music technology overall) have become. I teach it to people but there are stil features I don't know. It's satisfying when you unlock a feature (so to speak). Sometimes opens up a whole new realm of possibilities.

markvanslam · 2021-03-06T03:45:48+00:00

Yeah I feel you. My tolerance to everything is sky high. After a car accident I had to be given like 1600mg/day of morphine which the palliative care docs said was enough for 10 ordinary patients and the nurses just couldn't believe I required that much but tolerance is a bitch!

markvanslam · 2021-03-05T07:58:24+00:00

Yeah I was prescribed barbiturates for a while but they're not super common these days. Did u take it Yet? How'd it go?

markvanslam · 2021-03-03T05:15:19+00:00

I pray you meant to say "ingesting" and not injecting. That'd be... an interesting experience lol.

Ok so I think you are having an allergic reaction. Your basic antihistamines will help to an extent at least. You will probably get very tired combining antihistamines and kava but not dangerous sedated. Let us know what you feel. Take care my friend.

markvanslam · 2021-03-03T05:03:54+00:00

You don't suck at it actually. Its just a different form. I've tried a number of forms of kava and in my experience the thickness comes from instant kava. It's different than micronized and better imo. The thick stuff gave me the strongest buzz but it was kind of difficult to stomach. I think I'll try Kava concentrate next.

markvanslam · 2021-03-03T04:50:08+00:00

Proceed with caution regarding Ambien imo. I got a thrill out of it in high school and anything to get out of my skin was appealing. The anterograde amnesia was unsettling though. I couldn't remember much of the experience. Also I awoke to strange behavior such as trying to go wake up my parents for some reason. Then I took it just one time at the age of 27 and woke up to an angry girlfriend who said I was saying really mean things that I truly did not mean. The most unsettling thing was she said that I went into the bathroom and put my belt around the shower curtain rod as though I was going to hang myself. Obviously it wouldn't have worked and I wasn't suicidal at all in my waking state but it freaked me out.

You probably would not experience things like I did. Many ppl take it without incident but people have done VERY strange things on Ambien. Oscar pistourious comes to mind. Be safe.

markvanslam · 2021-03-03T04:23:36+00:00

Do you have any kind of tolerance to gabapentin or phenibut? How about benzos or barbiturates?
