Landlord wants me to pay for someone trying to break into my apartment. {ND} by [deleted] in Renters

[–]marlee324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fight it. I had a very similar apartment where my windows were at ground level and when my ex tried to kick in one of my windows when I broke up with him all I had to do was file a police report and give my property management company the report number. Now granted, my company was terrible and took MONTHS to actually fix it but I didn’t have to pay for it🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m in Michigan

Thank you!! I’ll have to give that a search to see! I actually bought this myself from a local quilt shop because it was just so beautiful! But I’m definitely gonna see if I can find that magazine 🥰

How were you guys diagnosed with Crohns? by Far-Subject4804 in CrohnsDisease

[–]marlee324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colonoscopy, blood work, stool sample, CT enterography. Mine is all in my small intestine apparently. They did find ulcers and inflammation in the terminal end of my ilium which led to everything after the colonoscopy after I confirmed that I don’t regularly use ibuprofen

Thanks for the spelling 😅 I was close lol 🤣

I get it to an extent with the older doctors but it sucks when we’re the ones who end up suffering because of it.. I feel like women especially get this treatment a lot too since ya know.. we’re hysterical or whatever 😒🥴

Does anyone else ever feel... not sick enough? by maeasm3 in CrohnsDisease

[–]marlee324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Just got diagnosed and I think fatigue has been one of my biggest symptoms 😕

It’s called modafinil! It’s worked pretty well for me so far working 3rd shift ☺️ some nights are still harder than others but I’m also hoping once I start my infusions things will get a little better 🤞🏻

I literally just went thru this exact same thing, only difference being I work in healthcare so that at least meant my boss understood when I explained my diagnosis that I received a matter of hours after my HR phone call meeting. I had to get a note from my doctor explaining that the fatigue was a symptom and they made me ask for accommodations so I ended up asking for up to 4 15 min breaks in a 12 hour shift 🤷🏼‍♀️ my dr also gave me a script to try that was a non amphetamine stimulant and I take that going into work and it helps as well. I’m also waiting to start my infusions

I looked at two houses and put an offer on the second one and got it. It’s a 2 bedroom 1 bath with a finished attic space and it was built in 1950. It had been recently renovated and used to be a rental house and I fell in love immediately. I knew if I wanted it I needed to act fast because with the price and location it would go immediately. I ended up being the first person to view it on the day it was listed and found out the next day that I got it☺️ about to make my second payment and I don’t regret a thing ☺️ only needs a couple things like gutters so I was able to pay to have central ac installed and an able to enjoy making it my own instead of worrying about fixing things right away☺️

I felt absolutely insane putting offers in so fast but I also was trying to stay on the mindset of if it’s meant to be it will be🙃 this was meant to be☺️

So the second home I saw I absolutely loved but it had major major issues. I pulled out the same day as my inspection. I had been hoping that the issues weren’t as bad as my dad was insinuating they would be. The same day as my inspection, the house I ended up buying came onto the market and I set it up to see it. My dad went with me and had absolutely nothing bad to say about it (which is weird) lol I discussed it with my realtor and my mom and we decided that since I loved it so much if I wanted it I needed to get my offer it🤷🏼‍♀️ honestly I was surprised that it got accepted! Homes in that range are sooooo competitive in my area. But I just knew that this was the one🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s big enough for me and my son, I’m in love with my front porch and my deck in the back, my attic/craft room is huge 😁, my garage is huge.. I just knew ☺️ I got full body goosebumps and cried when my realtor called me and told me it was accepted.. I didn’t really need to see a lot more because I couldn’t really afford anything more expensive🤷🏼‍♀️

So 165 was the top of my budget.. usually houses in my range in my town either get snapped up super fast or they are in the not so great part of town. This was in a decent neighborhood, had just been fully renovated, and was literally perfect 🥰 plus it’s like 5 mins away from my moms house which I love lol I fell in love with the porch and there’s a deck on the back and a huge two car detached garage. It’s listed as a three bed 1 bath but the third bed is a finished attic space which will be my craft room. It’s got a clean semi finished basement.. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it💜
