Opinions? I would love pointers

So I decided to try again 😆 I don't know where these people are getting super fresh flower because it ain't around me. I bought a craft brand and found a hair in one jar. I guess at least I know it was touched by humans? 🙃

Anyway how do they look? I can say they smell a lot better. I only have my cbd flower to compare to and I'm so new to this.

The first is blueberry diesel, the second is citron, both from kaviar.

ETA I also got Wedding Cake x Triangle Mints by Kaviar's sister brand called Blaze and ya'll omg this is what being high should be like. I can still taste the mint and cake. I am in love 😍

Kicked off medicaid, application denied due to move, can't prove address IL

My adult son moved out of our house, and when we tried to update his case for medicaid and apply for snap for him, the person in the new county denied his case because he is no longer at a known address. They demanded to see his name on a lease, but he isn't on the lease, he's staying with friends. They rent the house, he can get mail there just fine. As far as I'm aware, IL allows for 'self-attestment', but they insisted he can't. We moved from our old house and he is not on our lease either, because he doesn't live there. I don't know when/if he will ever get on the lease at the friend's house, but he needs medical care and food and we can't afford to help with either.

Recovering after getting way too high

I regret taking someone's advice to go to a dispo that's closing down. The flower I got is nearly expired, hard, dry af, not much smell (can't help but think maybe them going out is a good thing if that's what they've been selling). But, I'm dumb and stubborn and have had the weekend from hell so decided to load up my dhv and try it anyway. I noticed very little taste too. In hindsight I wish I'd never gone to that dispensary.

As the high started, it felt very flat. Just high, no warm tingly sensation, no enjoyment, just rocketing right to the stratosphere in a very bad way. I could feel my anxiety building, and I knew it was going to be bad (like forget how to breathe bad), so by some miracle, using sheer willpower I managed to mostly steer my mind away and to a better place. My husband and I got intimate but it was like I was having to keep fighting to stay in the good place, until my mind and body finally connected for what felt like the first time ever. Afterward I infodumped some stuff I wasn't ready to share on my husband and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm off my rocker now.

I felt like it was finally wearing off but I was wrong. I was high all damn night. I woke up at 2:44am and coming down was rough. I made the decision that I'm cancelling today's plans because I need to recover, I'm feeling extremely anxious and depressed about it and everything leading up to this was already more than enough to cancel my plans but I feel like such an idiot and a failure. I've been too high before but never like this.

Is this what happens using flower past its prime? I've smoked and used edibles, and seem to have a naturally low tolerance but this felt so aggressive and different and not at all what I expected. I've had wedding cake before and it was a really pleasant high, so I assumed another cake strain would have a similar result. This felt like jekyll and hyde.

The strain was platinum cake, supposedly great for anxiety 😭. The brand is Otherside, a budget label for Nez which I kept seeing good things about. I use a lobo and dosing cap, and I kept the temp at 375F.

Which one would you choose?

Or something else entirely? I don't want to spend a lot, or stock up too much, I'm just starting out with my dhv. I'm looking for something to help with anxiety and chronic pain, while still being functional, which it seems these do, but I'm new to buying flower. I'm open to other suggestions too.

First time startup or every time?

Hello,

I just got my Lobo today, it's just about done charging. On the quick start guide, it says to run it through three full heating cycles. Is this what I need to do every time I use it, or is this just for the first use?

Can't get rid of 'distance to grave' message

This message has been hanging out with me for some time. I have gone into creative, cleared all waypoints, looked for keys (that doesn't seem to be a thing anymore), checked key binds, used /back (got me close to the actual spot but it still won't go away), tried /tbrestoreinventory (that one doesn't work at all), nothing gets rid of it. What am I missing? I'd already reclaimed my stuff. I just want the message to go.

It's one of those days

I slept wrong on my neck somehow so turning my head and even breathing are extra painful. It's a rainy day and my whole body hurts. This is badly packed cbd flower, and my favorite pain gummies because these are strong. I haaaate smoking but I'm in so much pain. Also shoutout to Blazy Susan's cones for being dumb beginner friendly, halfway through still managed to repack it MUCH better 😂

I hope you all have a lovely day, and for my fellow chronic pain peeps, a low/no pain day (oh that would be the dream!). 💜

This is why not even 'mom and pop' landlords are ok.

We rent from an older couple, I think this is their only rental but come on. They still have responsibilities (and I am pretty sure they are doing some shenanigans with property taxes as well). We moved in last month and are paying $3.5k/mo for this house. There are annual inspections by the city. This is insane.

And no, I have no idea how we missed the gaping hole when we looked at the house. I first discovered a pool of water in the window while the storm screen (ie solid glass) was in place, but it was causing the windows to fog up horribly so I put the regular screen down. These windows are rotting right out of their frames. The panes are hanging on for dear life.

This is also just one of many issues we've discovered. I'm so frustrated and sick of renting, but buying just wasn't in the cards.

Lost pet scammers

Update: they're baaaaaaack. This time their email is maryjaden626@gmail.com lolol

I get the feeling it's more than one person, or they really think I'm dumb. They even used some of the same lines on me. I was having fun last night wasting their time. Also for further context I had a neighbor who really DID steal my cat once, about 25 years ago, so when they first contacted me it was like reliving that all over again.

This person has been confirmed by my local police to be a scammer. They trawl lost pet posts on social media across the country and contact the owners, claiming they know where your pet is, then they conveniently can't answer any real questions or give fake info/names. Yes I messed up offering to pay them online, but I didn't give them money because it became increasingly obvious it was a scam. Because I didn't give them money, no crime technically occurred, but I want to warn people if you lost a pet and get a message coming from that email account.

Rental - LL replaced a/c due to leaking freon, still not addressed the issue

We recently moved into our house, and with the first warm days, tried to use the a/c because the house got unbearable. Even in the low-80s, the a/c couldn't cool lower than 75. We brought it up with the landlord, and mentioned the upstairs is significantly warmer than downstairs. They brought a few people in, and they ended up replacing the a/c unit entirely due to a leak.

But that doesn't seem to have helped anything. The a/c can't get to 73 without constantly running, and upstairs is still far warmer than downstairs, and the humidity is 66% going by the indoor thermometers I've purchased. Two rooms are in direct sunlight, but even on a cloudy day like today, we get no relief. The guy who replaced the a/c said he didn't do ductwork and to have the LL get someone out to check it, because it could be disconnected somewhere or something similar. The ducts in the basement are all encased in paneling, save the one closest to the furnace, so we can't find dampers to try to see if it's just a routing issue.

The landlord feels as long as air is coming out of the vents, then all is well. But 80 degrees minimum with 66%+ humidity is not acceptable. I don't know what to do/suggest to them to get them to investigate further. We can't use window film because the windows facing the sun are all double glazed.

Time to up my estrogen?

I had a total hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy in Nov. at the age of 44. Since then I've gradually increased to .075 patches, but lately I've been wondering if it's not enough. My anxiety and depression have gotten worse, my joint pain has gotten unbearable (I also have fibro and ankylosing spondilitis so it could be one of those, but the other symptoms seemed to come at the same time as the increased pain), exhaustion and insomnia, and low, low libido.

I'm really struggling, and I don't know if it's worth looking at increasing my dose of e or what. I don't take progesterone since I have no uterus and don't really want to because I also have pmdd. I've also been considering asking about t, but I have pcos too so surely my t is already higher than normal. But the low libido is really bothering me. I am worried it will start to affect my marriage. My husband's been great, but I need sex too.

Visions 12 piece chef set

I grew up with Visions cookware and I loved it so much, especially the pots. I had my own doll sized set when I was a kid too. Now as an adult, I am living in a house with a kitchen that's perfect for a 60s/70s/80s theme, and of course I need to include Visions cookware. I got these brand new in the box at an antique mall for $50. It's the 12 piece chef set, technically from 1991, but I'm going to include it in the 80s. Including pics of the recipes inside the little booklet in case anyone finds that kind of stuff interesting too.

I got some pots too but haven't had a chance to photograph them yet (and I missed a lid oops) :)

[US -IL] Passed 30 days moved out - no receipts, no itemized list

UPDATE:

He sent an itemized list at 1:41 am this morning.

He's charged us $450 for 'deep cleaning' when I fucking deep cleaned the house and have photographic proof. I don't know whether to be a bitch and push it or if a judge would even agree an hour and 41 mins late is still beyond the 30 days. He also charged us $75 for 'blending and patching' paint.

Hey all, pretty sure I know the answer, but I've never had this situation come up before so want to make sure we get it right.

We moved out of our old place May 3. In IL, the landlord has 30 days to tell us what is being withheld, and to provide receipts and an itemized list, or they can't withhold any part of our deposit.

We've had one message from the landlord, saying he was 'working on his notes' the deposit, and asking what bank details to use. That's it. No list of deductions, no receipts, absolutely zero details of any kind. He has had our forwarding address since we moved out, nothing in the mail, no email, no texts, nothing.

I couldn't find much info googling, but what I did find was something about a landlord being allowed to extend the time if they were waiting on repairs or something, it wasn't very clear, but it did seem like those would have had to have already been mentioned.

I assume since he's not said anything about waiting for repairs, or anything at all other than that he was 'making notes', he's no longer allowed to make any deductions and according to the law in IL, we are owed our full deposit.

I just don't want to get this wrong. Anxiety is a bitch.

Cat sat on my keyboard, now mouse won't work

I'm using an imac, wireless keyboard and mouse. My cat sat on my keyboard, lots of bings and bongs ensued, now my mouse isn't working. I even tried changing the batteries in case it was a crazy coincidence, but nothing.

I tried opening bluetooth file exchange, it just opens up my documents folder. I also tried pressing the option key 5 times, turning the mouse on and off, and nothing.

Skyblock without Apotheosis

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a more chill modpack than ATM TTS 10. I don't like Apotheosis and the armor shred/piercing which makes armor practically useless until you're super high tier, and I'm not good with config files especially ones that require formulas. I also wasn't sure I could just remove it from the pack without consequences.

I like sky block because I like creating something from nothing (or very little), but most of them seem to lean towards heavy automation (somewhat understandable) and extreme bosses which I have no interest in. I would like something that I can just chill and bring back the world a bit at a time. I like the quests which help me learn the mods, I tend to play modded Minecraft but rarely get into most of the mods I play so trying to switch it up so I actually learn something, but I don't want it to feel like torture (nothing against those who enjoy the really complex stuff, it's just not my cup of tea).

Landleech upset new laws may prevent overcharging

The comment section is insane. OP is bitching because he got £450/mo more than he was expecting from his INHERITED house, but somehow feels justified saying he should have gotten more, for a property that likely doesn’t even qualify as a 4 bed, and wants help to screw the tenants over, while having proof other properties rented for the lower price.

It’s crazy to me how many are not only defending this, but giving advice on how to dodge the laws. Fuck landlords.
