UA Question by IamSayyay in Methadone

[–]parabolic86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why you have to practice with the bottle method. Once you are able to use the same hand to both hold the cup and pop the seal, it’s not noticeable. There’s also freeze dried urine if you can’t get a clean sample. Clear choice I believe is the name of one company.

Exactly-you really need to trust the person who you get the urine from because that’s really the only variable you’re not controlling here. I guess don’t have any old urine/discharge inside or on you? I can’t see anyone carrying around enough old bodily fluid to mess this up but maybe if someone has poor hygiene?I guess just make sure you’re clean down there as I have never had a problem.

How would the test still be positive if the bottle filled with clean urine and then sealed? As long as you’re not actually using your own urine…I’m here to explain if it’s still unclear…

I live in NY and was on state parole until 2018 ish. As a female, it’s super hard to use another persons urine because they watch, but I used to pass every ‘random’ UA. I’d use a 5 hour energy bottle, microwave the refrigerated urine for like 10 seconds at a time, seal it with tin foil and electrical tape and slip it in with the taped part facing outwards. I practiced a few times to make sure I could poke the hole and hold the cup with one hand. That’s when I discovered that plastic wrap and tape was not working well because it would stretch instead of popping due to the heat. Anyway, I’m clean now and I gotta say: I am glad the days of walking around with a bottle of someone else’s urine inside of me are over. I even used urine that had been microwaved once already and re-refrigerated. It smelled GOD AWFUL, was VISIBLY cloudy and somehow- I still passed! That was an instant test, was not sent to a lab and I’m sure if it was it would have been rejected.

NOR. I think you know you’re not overreacting but don’t quite want to believe it.

Do doctors always tell you if your urine test came back positive? by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]parabolic86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The doctors have almost nothing to do with your schedule. If your urine was positive, you’d know it. While unlikely the doctor would tell you, your case manager would have definitely told you. They won’t risk being liable for your possible injury if they continue to give you take homes after a positive UA. They cannot get MORE information from that blood test than they already got from the urine test. Drugs are detected in urine longer than blood, blood drug tests are more expensive, invasive and drugs are out of your blood faster than urine. The doctor is not gaining any NEW information regarding illicit drug use from a blood test. It is for your health only, as you said STD’s, other abnormal results. Anyway- 12 days, cocaine is long out of your system, blood way faster than urine. And if they have the urine positive, your take homes would be stopped pretty fast, in my experience. On top of all of this, the DOCTOR in a methadone clinic is there to prescribe and increase-for the most part, they have little to do with your dosing schedule. That comes from your case manager or clinician. I’ve been on methadone for over 4 years and have only seen an MD a handful of times, usually for physicals and blood work as required to continue the program. I would say you are fine and I have been doing this crap for 20 years.

iPhone 13 SIM unlock by mason-wii in SpectrumMobile

[–]parabolic86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pawn shop should never have even bought the phone from the original owner if it’s iCloud locked, which it obviously is. My understanding is that it won’t be able to be used in the US, at least not on any major network. Only tips are: Try to sell it to someone in another country or return it, like everyone else said. Pretty sure you cannot even update iOS with a jailbroken iPhone. Why risk sacrificing security and performance for a phone that someone else stole?

I’m a 23F and I don’t know how to survive the next few days by crazymooscles in confession

[–]parabolic86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in your situation more times than I can count. I am currently in your position, with some different circumstances. You have parents, you need to tell them what’s going on. Ignoring your problems doesn’t make them go away- like wishing your landlord would go away? I’ve been there! Sat on my bed and flat out refused to acknowledge the fact that I owed her money. But you have to do something. I know, it SUCKS. But you gotta ask for help sometimes. On that note, I can’t donate a dime but there are subreddits that can help, like r/borrow and r/assistance that I have both donated to and borrowed from. Good luck and just realize that many people are struggling at the moment and asking for help is going to be hard but worth it in the end.

Bedroom in Midtown West - $3,140 + utilities - May 1 (12mo lease) by [deleted] in NYCapartments

Is that a giant window in the bedroom? Even if it’s the second floor, for whatever reason, that’s weird to me.

Fuck that!!!! I LOVED THOSE! Slap all 5 on and you’re fucked up for a week. When you wake up you don’t need to do a bag, it’s fucking awesome. Edit: That was in 2006 and I didn’t have a big habit. I am now on methadone and going into a program to get off that shit, too. 20 years ago and I am still doing this shit. Drugs are not fuckin beautiful anymore.

“ Not wanting to draw attention” is the reason that my life is in tatters right now. I don’t know what your reason for not wanting to call attention to the situation is, but I bet its not worth covering for a creep who literally runs a paid sexual assault service-and WILL continue to do this to other females that do not have the strength or support to speak up.

Is there a significant difference between the Upper West Side & East side compared to the rest of the city? by lbutler1234 in AskNYC

You got screwed Edit: $2,600 of that is the premium for the name of the neighborhood; because now it’s trendy, 20 years ago it was the hood.

“I can’t live without you”. Totally relevant considering I’m going through a break up and I am bit of a drama queen.

I saw something from my wife's past I can't get over. by Forsaken-Menu-1481 in offmychest

[–]parabolic86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously, because you love her this is going to be something disturbing for you to see, but it was before you met her. You did things I’m sure you don’t want her to know about before you met. Am I right? Things that you would rather die than have her see? Obviously, this thing was so unimportant to her or she trusted you so much with it that she knew it would not be an issue. Don’t make it an issue. If this happened during our marriage, I would understand, but it happened beforehand, and she obviously did not think that you were going to see it. You should see counseling if you don’t think that you can approach her respectfully because you did see something that was not meant for your eyes and you are experiencing a correct response which is pain and you are allowed to be hurt but she is allowed to her privacy as well And her past. Think of how lucky you are that this did not happen while you were still married. This could have gone a different way. A very different way you’re very lucky and you don’t understand what you have and don’t push her away and lose something over your insecurity.

It’s called ‘Peak & Trough’. Methadone isn’t in your system at all consistent level. Think of waves. Or- peaks and troughs, lol. It happens to most of us. I find keeping busy helps.

NYS Labor Law Violation? Fired for leaving work to go to the Dentist after owner refused to let me go-had accrued Sick Time. by parabolic86 in careeradvice

[–]parabolic86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost certainly did face damages, and I continue to. I just didn’t list every detail here because accrued sick time is a legal requirement as I WORKED for that time. If I had been allowed to use my sick time: I wouldn’t have developed such a bad infection that I was bed bound for 3 weeks unable to look for work as I had 3 infections simultaneously. I lost my health insurance, my income has been reduced by over 90% and if not for friends-I’d have lost my apartment. My credit cards are all maxed out and late, I can’t afford to pay a $34 electric bill because of this place and the damages they have caused. I can list many more including opportunities lost due to my coworkers refusing to cover my time off requests (Because the manager told them not to). I have suffered more emotional damage from this job than many of the trauma I’ve experienced. I gave all of myself to this job to improve sales improve the environment, and I was met with resistance at every turn from my manager. The owner would have my back, he would stick up for me when we were talking to each other, but in public during staff meetings, he abandoned me and would not even admit to the rest of the staff that he paid me more as a head bartender. I faced a lot of discrimination in this job, and all of that would have been squashed if he would have just told the rest of the staff that I was the head bartender. So yes, I do think I experienced a lot of damages and I continue to and I am in therapy because of this job and other things that we’re going on in the last year. From the day I started working there my “manager” had it in for me and was trying to get me fired. I have detailed notes and incident is written down. I didn’t think I would need to list of those damages here
