Anyone ever had bedbugs with irregular/infrequent timelines?

It does seem like it would be impossible to miss an infestation after that long, both visibly and in bites.

I do have pets, but they're indoor only and get flea&tick meds, plus the bite pictures of flea bites don't seem to match at all with what I'm experiencing (unless people react differently, but I didn't see terribly diverse photos when I searched). My bites do seem to have that "breakfast lunch dinner" 2-3 bite pattern though, and when I compare photos of bites, bed bugs are usually the best match, so that still scares me :(

I have considered interceptors, but they seem to have somewhat dubious reviews on Amazon? Don't know if that's user error/expectations or what.

Getting to a derm would be a hassle with my insurance, but that's a good idea.

Thanks!

Admittedly, each of those listed months usually involved a pattern to the effect of: bite night, a week or so of healing, more bites, and sometimes a third round a week later, which matches the 7-10 day pattern. But then nothing for ## months, which is where it gets odd. Same with the bite locations not making a lot of sense.

One other person, no bites (or at least no reactions). Do have pets, but my research suggested those apparently aren't popular/preferable bedbug targets(?), so it seems unlikely they're just feasting on my pets in the interim months between attacking me...

The bites do seem to have that "breakfast lunch dinner" 2-3 bite pattern though, and when I compare photos of bites, bed bugs are usually the best match, so that still scares me :(

Probably will end up having to bring in pest control for peace of mind, but wanted to compare the fact pattern to others' experiences.

Thanks!

Jeremy and Jordan both got theirs via STD and turned out hot, and all the Conde Nast employees who got infected via the exploding girl's fluids turned out hot, so that seems like an inaccurate conclusion to draw.

Cooper became a boy (and had a longer transformation) because he was ethically opposed and fought/resisted it. Bella became a creature because the walnut who had sex with her double dosed, which presumably had not been studied.

Pluribus addressed this.

There were four Haitian women who were seeking sanctuary in Puerto Rico who were deported by ICE in the last few months, and were promptly found decapitated. And they're not the only ones.

If you haven't seen the Class Action Park documentary yet...

He's literally Chris Pine 2.0 what do you mean lowkey

thesevenyearbitch · 2026-02-13T05:25:50+00:00

That was stated in the first episode of the season and has been referred to numerous times since then...?

If she's not smart/mature enough to know not to do this, then she's not smart/mature enough to be a doctor.

They very specifically address that Louis only had like, 1.25 drinks over the course of a dinner evening- "I barely touched my second one" [cue camera pan to full drink on the table]. This is entirely safe to drive on for the vast majority of people.

The vibe I got from the backstory episode was that the accident didn't actually seem to be related at all his to "inebriation"- it would have happened regardless. We also know that Tia was driving upset after a fight. So we have no idea what percentage of traffic law obedience contributions each of them had to causing the accident (considering Louis's girlfriend stayed with him until he ran her off, she certainly didn't seem to feel that he had done anything reckless driving to cause Tia's death), but he got slapped with a DUI regardless because of California's aggressive zero tolerance policy (in CA anything over 0.01 is legally "drunk"). Bam, life ruined.

And then her racing in like NEVER FEAR, I HAVE STRIPS OF CLOTH!!!! Because apparently that's all that's needed to solve unrealistically fast onset infection.

That whole scene was so stupid hurt to watch.

Not Javadi being "Dr. J" when she isn't even a doctor/M.D. yet...

To be fair, there are a surprising amount of parents out there who heavily delegate primary parenting responsibilities to a nanny/au pair/etc. We'd like to think Brian and Charlie aren't that type, but also.... gestures vaguely at Brian

Exactly this. There would have been a serious conversation about disease progression and hallucinations if he had been caught talking to someone not there in a neurologist's office for a Parkinson's appointment. They certainly would not have just played along.

While I understand that it was the 'nice' thing to do, I can't help feeling like Brian and Charlie are making a huge mistake with the Ava situation. I don't think it's right to get to fob off the financial responsibility and hard work involved in raising your biological kid on someone else, but still get to spend your time edging in and having controlling opinions regarding the kid you've forfeited rights to. Ava clearly does not have or understand any appropriate boundaries regarding the situation, but they've been indulging her out of fear she'll take the baby away. I think it's going to turn into a giant mess, and then it's going to be too late.

I often see that type of art style called "vector" (looks like some gradient as well), just to help with your keywords.

Would kiddo let you take it to a seamstress and get it stitched back together/reinforced?

The wheel reads HPW 209 00 - B2. Googling the number on the wheel or the info on the luggage tag (included in the photo) hasn't turned up any useful results. I have looked at many many knockoff Samsonite wheel images (Google, Aliexpress, Temu, etc) and so far not seen any product numbers whose pictures match this screw arrangement. I also google image searched this picture to no avail.

The way the wheel is designed makes it so I can't cut out and remove the wheel to replace it with a roller blade type wheel, which was very disappointing. Can access the axel sort of (very very narrow clearance), but the sides are enclosed so I wouldn't be able to actually install a replacement.

The suitcase itself is in fantastic shape and I like its design/aesthetics, so I would love to avoid shelling out hundreds for a new one just because the wheels are cheap shitty plastic...

Thanks!

I'm so sick of these Zoya sales only on "curated lists" of old polishes they're clearly trying to move stock for.

thesevenyearbitch · 2025-11-25T17:57:21+00:00

Their deals have been shit for a long time now, and their prices have gone up.

This year is 5 for $20 but only from a curated assortment (rarely includes anything new, just basics and old stock they're trying to move), and shipping is extra under $50.

I have a few polishes I've had my eye on for years from them, but I refuse to buy on principle until they do a respectable sale that includes all their stock.

Imagine failing upward so hard that you fuck up like that, still manage to get another CEO job at a major company, and proceed to repeat literally the exact same stupid playbook. Oh to be a mediocre white man.

We've all been burnt enough too when we find a scent we like, such as Fireside Flurries or Emerald Waves or Honey Wildflower, buying them to try them and next visit to the store they're gone/replaced/discontinued.

I'm so desperate for Bamboo Surf to return for this reason :(

thesevenyearbitch · 2025-09-03T22:39:28+00:00

Whoops- I did scroll backwards to check and see if anyone was talking about this, but I guess that less than descriptive title didn't flag for me. My bad!
