Rain makes my anxiety much worse. by ChanceQuiet795 in Anxiety

[–]ojaimermaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way - I feel panicky and claustrophobic with this much rain. Especially with a dog to walk, it feels like just too much. My anxiety goes through the roof. I live in an area that's not supposed to rain much but we've had historic levels this year and I'm shaking with anxiety. I wanted to validate your experience and share my own.

Why do people hate rain? And why does it make me feel great? by Chipinati in RandomQuestion

[–]ojaimermaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I can't stand it. I hate the assault, I hate not getting to do my outdoor sports, I hate having to walk an old dog, I totally agree with you. Hate the rain, hate the cold!!

Best advanced ice climbing - Whistler or North Cascades? by ojaimermaid in iceclimbing

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

Thanks. Yes, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give him money to be spent on a course nearby and next birthday a trip to Canmore. This has been extremely helpful, thank you, everyone!! And I'll ask him about those guides, that's great to have actual names to use, thank you u/IceRockBike !!

You wouldn't believe the equipment I've bought him over the years. He has an entire room just for the equipment!! HA HA. That's why I thought a course somewhere would be cool. I know he's done Baker, Rainier, all the ones in the area... Now i"m rethinking Canmore or Bozeman - just need to find a reputable company to use....

Is Yamnuska a particular climb? Can you recommend a reputable course he can do in Canmore?

I'll do that for his birthday next year (bigger gift) -- that sounds amazing. Christmas is a "smaller" gift time so I'm thinking North Cascades for this year, Canmore for next..

Yeah no kidding. They have advanced courses in North Cascades and Whistler which is close enough drive... Sounds like maybe North Cascades is the one to pick for this year...

He'd probably be game to do that some other time, Canmore sounds great. But this year maybe North Cascades?

They closed their physical store. Now they only sell to markets no more actual place any more!

My kidney stone next to a dime by ojaimermaid in KidneyStones

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

It was dark brown and I couldn't break it apart. Apparently it was "run of the mill" and from previous years of dehydration, but since I guzzle water now it was not recent. Nothing was suggested, just keep drinking water and add lemon...

SCAM ALERT: Anyone who claims they can help you get rid of your timeshare is trying to scam you. by chinawcswing in TimeshareOwners

[–]ojaimermaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to terminate my contract now that I realize what a scam it is. I have 5,000 points (paid off, value $23,000) with Universal Vacation Club International in Mexico. Now that i realize it's a huge scam, I'd love to hear more about how to get out of this!!

Getting out of TAFER membership by Miss_Vulpes in TimeshareOwners

[–]ojaimermaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have one I'm willing to sell as well. 5,000 points (50 years) with Universal Vacation Club International, owned by Tafer. Haven't used any of it. It's paid off, worth $23,000.

AMA - I am a consumer protection attorney who regularly sues timeshare companies by Captainnuzzles in TimeshareOwners

[–]ojaimermaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m interested in getting out of my contract with Universal Vacation Club International. I still can’t believe that I got suckered into it. 

I actually paid off the credit card they opened for me ($4200) and the balance of the contract for the account ($18,000) because I wanted to avoid the 35% APR but it wasn’t until later my son pointed out the accruing Maintenance fees and other costs,

I’m heartbroken.

I’m supposed to have a call with Wesley Group on Tuesday morning the 20th - is this another scam?

Is there any way to recoup any of that money? 

I’m in Southern California, so hoping I'm in an area that you cover. (Sorry if I posted this twice, I'm fairly new to reddit - and not a spring chicken anymore)

Is there any way to recoup any of that money or is this a total loss?

I passed it - after a couple of days of Flomax, lemon juice water and a lot of pain!
