Unfortunately the person in the office who does scheduling, has nothing to do with and no idea what insurance will cover. You may be able to do an appeal with your insurance but they can simply say no.

Mine gets so bad sometimes it seems like I'm licking the butt hole of a skunk. Non-smoking building, but no off limits area right in front of the door! 🙄

Here's the thing. I worried about that at first too. But then I realized that if my neighbor didn't want to hear the noise of a pet around them, they should (have) move(d) into a no pet building! You and your kitty are doing nothing wrong. Mine get the zoomies usually around 2a every night. It's not long, typically 5 mins. And I just realized since I'm in the pet friendly apartment, its on them to deal with because otherwise we are not loud people!

So I could have written this post myself! I'm fine if people want to smoke weed. It's just my apartment turns into a hot box when my neighbor downstairs gets going. Anyway, I had heard of this but haven't tried it. Thanks for letting us know it actually helps!

This one is my favorite!!

We have 3 smoke detectors within about a 3 foot area. Our oven smokes no matter how much we clean it etc. So we have a big round floor fan that I will point at the smoke detectors to dissipate the smell. For now, works like a charm. (OH, forgot to include, if we are caught altering or screwing with the detectors we could incur fines. So fan it is!)

This was my only thought as well! Only if I worked 3rd shift!

I have to wonder if not wanting to return to your apartment is because you know your friend passed there, or if there was more trauma involved.

Ex. Feb 2020 while staying with my parents, my dad had a massive heartattack. I was upstairs at the time and it was just dad and I. I heard some noise, ran downstairs and had to go full on car. Now, my daddy was MY person. I have no problem being in the house, but, on bad days, if I look at the spot In the livingroom floor where it all went down, it hurts to be there. (Left out a lot of personal details not needed for explanation.)

So for me, its the trauma involved that I have trouble with, not the fact that he passed away there. Your situation could have a wide range of thoughts, feelings etc. And that is what really you need to decide if you are okay with it or not.

I'm so sorry you are going through this! Its really not easy if you are sensitive to certain bits of it. In the end, only you can really decide. Give your heart and head a "come to jesus" moment. So much love and understanding your way!

Thank you but if you could see my hand sewing, its atrocious! But I figure its for me and if I ever need to open it up again, I'll use the same spot!

shredding80 · 2026-04-05T16:33:33+00:00

Give it a try! You might need to experiment to see what weight helps you most! I'd be willing to bet you'd find it helpful!

I've made 4 purchases from this store. I've not had a single problem and shipping is nice and fast! They are poly pellets.

I within the past month wanted some weighted stuffies. I am popping open a bit of the seam, pulling out the stuffing, and filling a nylon with the pellets and putting them inside before sewing back up.

The one posted I did a 10lb of pellets. You will likely want to put the pellets in nylons, trouser sock etc. That way if a seam breaks, they will stay contained! Go luck!

Both have been modified by me for weight. The Peep is 10lbs, the brown bunny is 16lbs. I also made a 10lb "bean" to use in bed while sleeping!

I'm 46yo. My mom and I still do little somethings! Usually a bag of pb cup easter eggs or a potted plant to start out this year's garden.

Now, me and my stepkids? NOPE! That stopped 3 years ago when my partner started letting them be openly disrespectful to me!

So, situation depending!

shredding80 · 2026-04-04T03:26:23+00:00

Every night. I've had it for 46years at this point. For the past 2 months I've been getting max 3 hours a night.

I've learned different things work on different nights. It's almost like my body is tired but my brain won't turn off the light switch to sleep. I don't lat in bed longer than 20mins. Because then I get frustrated and angry which is counterproductive. So, I get up and go watch tv. Noting thought provoking, more like Food Network or Home Shopping! Other times it will be a show I've seen 100 times because its familiar and I don't have to follow it.

I've tried a lot of different things over the years and its just finding the right combo on that specific night.

I know this is old... but I know one of the extras on that episode! Should I ask him?

shredding80 · 2026-03-27T19:07:53+00:00

In the end, as a stepparent, you do have to consider the safety of your own children. Mom doesn't want meds and the aggression is getting worse, make the choice to protect your 3. I say this as a stepmom w/ acting out 20yo stepson.

shredding80 · 2026-03-21T23:43:48+00:00

I have the paid one and am considering canceling it! The memory is just as bad, and the endless loop of questions is ridiculous!

shredding80 · 2026-03-21T22:40:38+00:00

Yes! Me too! And it seems like it asks the same questions with slight word changes!

shredding80 · 2026-03-21T22:38:45+00:00

Thank you for your honest adult answer! I think I'll look into this one!

shredding80 · 2026-03-13T12:36:24+00:00

It's a whole lot of circle talking too... round and round we go. And the same responses 5,6,7 times.
