2023.03.29 02:05 red-0405 27 [M4F] SOMEONE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT
Once upon a time, there was a tall, nerd, and not-much attractive guy pero pwede na who woke up one morning, looked at the sky, and thought, "Well, this sucks." He knew there was only one solution - to turn to the all-knowing oracle of modern dating: T̶i̶n̶d̶e̶r̶ Reddit lol.
With his trusty cup of coffee in hand, he set out to find someone who shared his thirst for knowledge, someone who could keep up with his nerdy quirks, and someone who he could eventually take on 'friendly' dates (whatever that means). He wasn't in a rush to jump into anything too serious too soon, but he knew that someday, he wanted to find someone he could build a meaningful and caring relationship with.
So if you're a fellow lover of coffee, learning, and all things nerdy, this tall drink of water might just be the partner in crime you've been looking for. Dating at times feel like a job hunt doesn't it? So I thought it’d be fun to write it in a mock format just like a resume! LOL

About me
An old soul as older people I spoke with would say, into business and investments, frustrated law student, can drive a fucking 10 wheeler truck, no ex issues or sabit, can provide a certificate of no relationship (kahit wala naman nun haha).- I'm 5'10", medium built if that matters, resides in quezon city
- I'm an INTJ, Aries, if you’re into MBTI and believes in horoscope.
- Loves to read self-help books as I love to learn and motivate myself along the way.
- I'm the kind of person who doesn't follow the herd blindly, even if it means standing alone in a field of conformity. My principles are like a compass, always pointing me in the right direction, even if it's not the most popular route. In short, I'm not afraid to swim against the current, as long as it's in line with my beliefs.
- You could say that my communication style is like a triple-layered cake: serious, meaningful, and sprinkled with a healthy dose of humor. Sure, I may come off as awkward at times, but that's just my way of keeping things interesting. After all, who wants a bland and flavorless conversation when you can have a deliciously complex one? So, if you're looking for someone who can engage in a thoughtful discussion, crack a few jokes, and still leave you with something to ponder, then look no further.
- I'm what you might call a clean freak with a creative streak. As someone who's a bit OC (okay, maybe more than a bit), I can't stand to see a messy or cluttered home. But don't worry, I'm not the type to wait around for someone else to do the dirty work. I take pride in noticing when something needs to be done and taking care of it without being asked - it's like a satisfying little victory every time. And when it comes to interior design and home decor, I'm practically a pro. I'm always on the hunt for the latest and greatest tools and gadgets to keep things looking fresh and stylish. So if you're looking for someone to spruce up your space and keep things sparkling clean, I'm your go-to guy.
- I'm not in the business of putting people down - unless we're talking about the volume on the stereo (badum-tss!). But seriously, I believe in treating others with kindness and respect, even when it's not the easiest thing to do. After all, life is hard enough without having to deal with someone else's negativity. So let's lift each other up instead of tearing each other down, shall we?
- I set feasible goals and actively pursue them.
Here's a list of my favorites:
| Movies/Series | Music | Places | Activities | Books |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Godfather | Radiohead | Paris (not yet) | Cycling | The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday |
| Sherlock | Eraserheads | Coffee Shops | Painting | How to Win Friends & Influence People |
| Castaway | Chicago | Cebu | Roadtrips | Meditations by Marcus Aurelius |
| Forrest Gump | Ebe Dancel | Japan | Diving | Start with Why by Simon Sinek |
| Homeland | Urbandub | Rome (not yet) | Piano | Atomic Habits by James Clear |
| Before Sunset | Frederic Chopin | Canada | Travelling | How to think like a Roman Emperor |
| The Office | Eminem | New York (not yet) | Cooking | Letters from Stoic |
| Big Bang Theory | Dr. Dre | Maldives (not yet) | Film & Photography | 48 Laws of Power |
| Breaking Bad | Elton John | Marrakesh (not yet) | Badminton | The Intelligent Investor |
Pros:
- Responsible (Good credit score, no debts, no criminal records, and self-reliant)
- Curious type of person, who's ready to listen and craves to learn a lot of things
- Doesn't do drugs and is not a heavy drinkealcoholic.
- Respects your views and accept healthy criticism.
- Actually appreciating the things you'll do for me, and showing it. If you cooked a big dinner, saying thank you is nice. Doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen is even nicer, and in my opinion, should be the norm. The cook doesn't clean. If someone does something for me, I'll show them that their effort was appreciated instead of just accepting their generosity and then running off back to whatever I'm doing.
- Accepts responsibility for one's own actions and does not try to blame everything or everyone else.
- Doesn’t play online and computer games
My preference:
- Someone who has a strong passion for accurate and comprehensive learning, maintains a normal BMI, and is beautiful and easy on the eyes - I believe that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes (no offense intended towards plus-size women!).
- High standards for what she wants and is not afraid to communicate it.
- Craves knowledge too. Love and isn't afraid to try new things
- Passionate and proud about something they've been working on/have done/are planning to do
- Confident about what they want but isn't in-your-face about it.
2023.03.29 01:57 chi-bacon-bits Retaliation for complaint?
Background: I work as a front office supervisor in a hotel in downtown Chicago.
About a month ago, I placed an official complaint on the property’s F&B manager for verbal harassment after he threatened me for withholding security keys to our back door. Recently, we had a dangerous encounter with a trespasser who made his way onto the guest floors and tried to break into some rooms. I was the one who caught him when I was doing a floor check. As he was being escorted off property, he mentioned he had a gun on him. This terrified me to my core and I think about this moment everyday I’m at work. My direct DOP made it very clear if I’m at work, the security keys are to be on my person and it is up to my discretion who gets the keys. This particular manager likes to sneak in through the back door to have his smoke breaks and not mention when he comes to and from work. The night he made the verbal threat, I told him he’s not getting the keys he said “well, see what happens tomorrow”. I filled a complain the following week with my DOP and my GM.
In the meeting, I mentioned that when they speak to him about this, that he is only allowed to talk to me about work related things and small talk is out of the question. Surprise surprise, he put in his 2 weeks during this meeting. This past week was his last week at work.
As I was leaving work this past Wednesday, I found my car driver mirror completely broken off as it was parked in the employee spots. Unfortunately, no cameras are in that area so no luck with any footage. When I went back into work to talk to my GM, this manager immediately chimed in to get other camera footage from neighboring buildings and offered his advice on how to fix it. He was not supposed to even talk to me but decided he should give his unwanted opinion.
It didn’t click until recently, but I can’t stop thinking he had something to do with the damage to my car. I am now $700 in the hole and things are just getting put together piece by piece. Maybe he wasn’t actually the person to do it but there are plenty of homeless people around the area that would do something like this for a measly $10. Maybe I’m completely overthinking it. Only my car and his car were in the parking spots when it happened.

2023.03.29 01:29 AnotherAnonymousOne Salford Lads: The Rise and Fall of Paul Massey (UK True Crime)
I’m the narrator for this true crime audiobook written by Bernard O’Mahoney. Synopsis below:
“When legendary old school villain Paul Massey immersed himself in the murky world of his modern-day counterparts, he was executed with a machine gun on the drive of his home. Contained within this audiobook is his story.
“It is a story that will horrify the non-criminal mind and lay bare how Massey unwittingly became the architect of his own demise. Massey was not the only casualty of a toxic feud that had ignited between two Salford gangs following the most trivial of disputes. John Kinsella, a close friend of Massey's, was gunned down in front of his pregnant partner. A seven-year-old boy and his mother were shot, a hand grenade was hurled through the front window of a family home, an attempt was made to behead a man with a machete, and an orgy of beatings, stabbings, kidnappings, and shootings were carried out in the name of respect.
“In today’s underworld, the old school criminal code has been confined to the bin. Being known as a hard man once demanded respect, but no more. Guns, and having the mindset to use one, often for little or no reason, has become the norm. Drugs are the currency, and death often the penalty for a discrepancy or misdemeanour. It is an unforgiving world that Paul Massey helped to create, and a world that ultimately resulted in his death.”
It’s available to purchase on iTunes and Audible now - this is the Audible link: https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Salford-Lads-Audiobook/B0BZ2JHWWV
Furthermore, I have ten review codes to give away. All I ask in return is that once you have listened to the audiobook you leave an honest public review.

2023.03.29 00:33 SaraWillson_ The house is in shambles, and you need to turn over the property?
 | As tenants, we understand the importance of returning the property in the same condition in which we received it, as part of fulfilling the lease. Many landlords set rules and requirements, including cleanliness, at the beginning of the lease. submitted by SaraWillson_ to u/SaraWillson_ [link] [comments] Within leases, it is common to find a series of rules and requirements, such as the obligation to deliver the property in the same condition in which it was received. For example, if the owner hired a company specialized in professional cleaning at the time of renting, he may require in the contract that at the end of the lease a professional cleaning be performed before the handover of the property. However, these clauses may vary depending on each landlord and what is agreed at the beginning of the lease. https://i.redd.it/f7ckr5vb4kqa1.gif If you find yourself in a situation like the one mentioned above, and you need a professional cleaning before handing over the property, I recommend you to hire the services of Quick Cleaning. They are experts in the field and offer chicago move out cleaning service. Their team of professionals will make sure to leave everything spotless and in the best conditions, so that the owner will not have any complaint or inconvenience at the moment of receiving the property. In addition, moving can be a tedious process that consumes a lot of time and energy. For this reason, it is very helpful to have a cleaning service that allows us to focus on other important aspects, such as moving furniture, clothes, food, organization, the vehicle, among others. Delegating the cleaning to professionals allows us to save time and ensure that the property is left in the best possible conditions. Usually, at the moment of renting a property, a security deposit is given to cover possible damages or a bad cleaning. If we deliver the property in perfect conditions, we can recover this money, which is of great help when we move and need to buy things for our new home. Therefore, it is important to hand over everything in good condition to avoid the landlord making excuses and withholding our deposit. To ensure a good cleaning, it is advisable to hire the services of the company I mentioned above. |
2023.03.29 00:15 AffectionateLet1024 Medical (dental) legal advice
Okay this is a long post. But I do not know if I am right or wrong so I would like different opinions and suggestions. Timeline is from September to now so when I say it's a long rant, it really is.
I'm an international student in Chicago and do not have dental insurance. In September I started experiencing pain in my left bottom teeth region. I detected its tooth number 19 and after reading through reddit, UIC was the cheapest and the best rated option for me to go to. I book an urgent care appointment near the end of September and the student worker detects cavity on tooth #19. She cleans and does temporary filling. She states that to have a permanent filling, I need to be a permanent patient there. Meaning I need to have my xrays taken and have an evaluation which takes time. She also states to come back in 6 weeks to have a permanent filling.
I leave with relief that atleast I won't be in pain. I tell her I'll become a permanent patient. I pay and get my xrays done (around mid of October). They approve me to be their patient and I end up going for their evaluation on the second week of Nov. I go for evaluation where I find out I have a bunch of other cavities. The senior dentist comes and tells me throat looks swollen and red and I need to be cleared for a medical consultation by the senior dentist (I also tell the senior dentist that I have a history of cancer sores in my throat but at that moment I didn't have any). So now I book an appointment for a primary care for the first time in the US (around 3rd week of November). Co incidentally I had a very sharp right pelvis pain as well during my medical consultation. The gp tells me your throat looks fine to me right now and any infections that you could have had could be due to cavities and he did not understand why the senior dentist needed consultation clearance. For my pelvis pain he orders a CT scan and bunch of blood work, he suspects appendicitis. I told him I've had same pain a month ago as well. Anyways, before the scan I find out its for $8,000 and my medical insurance will only cover $350, the blood work came around about $500 after the insurance covered, so I choose just to get the blood work. (Note my sister is a doctor and she told me to get the blood work done before the scan as she suspected it could be kidney stones) I go for the tests and wait for my blood reports. My blood reports come that same evening and mostly all the reports are normal except C-reactive protein and eGFRprotein were slightly high. I observe my pain and its fades down and completely goes away by night. The plan was to go to the ER if the pain ever returns, at which point my insurance would cover it 100%. The next few mornings I monitor myself and there's no pain at all, and I haven't had that pain since then. The gp had signed the medical consultation form that I needed for my dental clearance. I'm mid moving apartments at this point and I lose that piece of paper (worst mistake I made was not to have a picture of the paper). I ask the GP to fill the paper again, to which he refuses and says if I don't get the CT he won't fill and sign the paper (basically he voids the first note he made). I know the gp was protecting himself as well but I honestly have not had this behaviour from a doctor before.. and I have lived in the middle-east, asia and europe before. It literally felt like 'you wont give me what I want, then even I wont give you something you want'. I try for the student dentist to speak to the gp and the gp tells her im not clearing her for the dental work because she didnt make it to the scan (first time in my life i experienced a doctor refusing his word but idk how things run in America). This is now mid of December. I tell the student dentist that I do have tooth pain for which I have proof of on texts. I end up going to another gp (who also states that cavities can cause mouth infections), she runs tests again which all come normal this time and clears me for dental work. Also turns out my pelvis pain was ovulation pain according to a gynaecologist. At this point (first week of Jan) I tell the student I'm still in pain and she said temporary filling can stay long and the tooth was cleaned and the pain can come from the tooth adjacent to it which has a decay as well. I go to UIC in the second week of January, 15-16 weeks after my temporary filling was done. She does my permanent filling and does cleaning of the teeth. She rushes through the cleaning and says ill complete the full procedure of cleaning next time you come. All this time I think she's been helping me so I cooperated a lot as well. I know the medical consultation were also my fault as I misplaced the paper so im fully responsible for that.
But im still in pain after the permanent filling. So sept - January.. still in pain. I spent $500 at UIC and I am in pain. I don't reach out to her again and decide to go to another dentist now. The new dentist tells me there's a lot of tartar buildup around tooth 19th. She tells me the cleaning was not done properly and the filling is also not right. The dentist cleans as much as she could and prescribes augmentin and calls me back. (This is third week of Jan). The pain goes away idk because of pills or the proper cleaning? When she calls me back she says she'll re-do filling for #19 and does filling for #18. When she opens #19 she says there's a lot of decay that was left behind and is shocked as to what was done. She even does a hole on the side of my molar which was never done at UIC. She shows me the color inside of the tooth and explains the difference between a decay and normal tooth structure. But the decay was very close to my nerve, she tells me she's trying her best not to reach the nerve but if the pain still persists then I need an RCT. She gives me another round augmentin as an insurance if the pain persists. (4th week of Jan) This is also when I tell student dentist what the second dentist has claimed and done. She apologies and says she's sorry and admits she rushed the cleaning, but says the doctor checked the tooth at every point during the filling and it's unfortunate I had to go somewhere else for my pain. I ask her simply if I can get reimbursed for my money because I didnt get what I was supposed to (which is relief lol) she says 'You came in for an urgent care appt back in sept we took an X-ray of the tooth bothering you and there was a cavity there so we treated it. We do not provide cleanings for an urgent care appt. I don’t think we can offer reimbursement for everything but just see and ask'
Now in the meantime, I am trying to call UIC customer service. Left voicemail in December to get help, no one ever called back. Left emails, no response. Then in February I find out about UI health and someone answers my calls (first time talking to someone about my experience other than the student dentist). They take a note and I get a call from the department who handles the Dentistry. She asks me what has happened, I tell her all the above. She asks me what I want now, I tell her I want my money back. She says she'll speak the the doctor in their department. The doctor asks for my xrays and doctors note from the other dental clinic. I send them on 1st of March. No reply for 2 weeks after sending many follow up emails. I get a reply back mid of March that she herself was on vacation for 2 weeks. Note: no out of office automated email lol. Then mid of march she says everyone's on Spring break, wait for 20th March for doctors to come back. I follow up, with initially a response to wait. Followed up several times later, no response. I email her saying 'I'm in a lot of pain and I need a root canal. Can you please help me with this? If not I need a supervisor. I can not wait further. I have been suffering since September. I'm a student myself and im on a visa. I am taking ibuprofen and tylenols everyday since September which has its own side effects. I'm at the verge of crying. I can't even get help from the UIC customer service side now?' Got an answer today saying 'Doctor reviewed your x-rays and took in consideration your concerns. He determined that the refund we would only be provide to you for the prophy (cleaning), which was not finished by the student. For #19 filling, which you informed us that after being seen by the outside provider you are now in need of a root canal and based on the x-rays provided, we would not be able to do a refund since we were not given the opportunity to see you for the toothache prior to seeking care elsewhere. Unfortunately at this time we see no wrongdoing on the student’s end based on what we stated “the x-rays we would once again not be able to provide a refund for #19”.' I have sent her a proof of the doctors note saying she did code D2392 and it was completed. And my prescription.
Now I do not know what to do.. should I leave everything, and continue with my money gone to waste? Or should I fight? What are my rights as a patient? Or am I wrong? I take tylenols and ibuprofen for my pain daily. I am not mad at the student i know shes learning and i get it, but there are so many senior dentists there who looked at me.. and this was the result? Did they look in rush because they have so many patients? I don't know what to do.. obviously I can't afford a lawyer to start a case so yeah im just lost.

Then in February I find out about UI health and someone answers my calls (first time talking to someone about my experience other than the student dentist). They take a note and I get a call from the department who handles the Dentistry. She asks me what has happened, I tell her all the above. She asks me what I want now, I tell her I want my money back. She says she'll speak the the doctor in their department. The doctor asks for my xrays and doctors note from the other dental clinic. I send them on 1st of March. No reply for 2 weeks after sending many follow up emails. I get a reply back mid of March that she herself was on vacation for 2 weeks. Note: no out of office automated email lol. Then mid of march she says everyone's on Spring break, wait for 20th March for doctors to come back. I follow up, with initially a response to wait. Followed up several times later, no response. I email her saying 'I'm in a lot of pain and I need a root canal. Can you please help me with this? If not I need a supervisor. I can not wait further. I have been suffering since September. I'm a student myself and im on a visa. I am taking ibuprofen and tylenols everyday since September which has its own side effects. I'm at the verge of crying. I can't even get help from the UIC customer service side now?' Got an answer today saying 'Doctor reviewed your x-rays and took in consideration your concerns. He determined that the refund we would only be provide to you for the prophy (cleaning), which was not finished by the student. For #19 filling, which you informed us that after being seen by the outside provider you are now in need of a root canal and based on the x-rays provided, we would not be able to do a refund since we were not given the opportunity to see you for the toothache prior to seeking care elsewhere. Unfortunately at this time we see no wrongdoing on the student’s end based on what we stated “the x-rays we would once again not be able to provide a refund for #19”.' I have sent her a proof of the doctors note saying she did code D2392 and it was completed. And my prescription.
Now I do not know what to do.. should I leave everything, and continue with my money gone to waste? Or should I fight? What are my rights as a patient? Or am I wrong? I take tylenols and ibuprofen for my pain daily. I am not mad at the student i know shes learning and i get it, but there are so many senior dentists there who looked at me.. and this was the result? Did they look in rush because they have so many patients? I don't know what to do.. obviously I can't afford a lawyer to start a case so yeah im just lost.
2023.03.28 23:39 AffectionateLet1024 Rant/advice?
Okay this is a long post. But I do not know if I am right or wrong so I would like different opinions and suggestions. Timeline is from September to now so when I say it's a long rant, it really is. I don't drink nor smoke.
I'm an international student in Chicago and do not have dental insurance. In September I started experiencing pain in my left bottom teeth region. I detected its tooth number 19 and after reading through reddit, UIC was the cheapest and the best rated option for me to go to. I book an urgent care appointment near the end of September and the student worker detects cavity on tooth #19. She cleans and does temporary filling. She states that to have a permanent filling, I need to be a permanent patient there. Meaning I need to have my xrays taken and have an evaluation which takes time. She also states to come back in 6 weeks to have a permanent filling.
I leave with relief that atleast I won't be in pain. I tell her I'll become a permanent patient. I pay and get my xrays done (around mid of October). They approve me to be their patient and I end up going for their evaluation on the second week of Nov. I go for evaluation where I find out I have a bunch of other cavities. The senior dentist comes and tells me throat looks swollen and red and I need to be cleared for a medical consultation by the senior dentist (I also tell the senior dentist that I have a history of cancer sores in my throat but at that moment I didn't have any). So now I book an appointment for a primary care for the first time in the US (around 3rd week of November). Co incidentally I had a very sharp right pelvis pain as well during my medical consultation. The gp tells me your throat looks fine to me right now and any infections that you could have had could be due to cavities and he did not understand why the senior dentist needed consultation clearance. For my pelvis pain he orders a CT scan and bunch of blood work, he suspects appendicitis. I told him I've had same pain a month ago as well. Anyways, before the scan I find out its for $8,000 and my medical insurance will only cover $350, the blood work came around about $500 after the insurance covered, so I choose just to get the blood work. (Note my sister is a doctor and she told me to get the blood work done before the scan as she suspected it could be kidney stones) I go for the tests and wait for my blood reports. My blood reports come that same evening and mostly all the reports are normal except C-reactive protein and eGFRprotein were slightly high. I observe my pain and its fades down and completely goes away by night. The plan was to go to the ER if the pain ever returns, at which point my insurance would cover it 100%. The next few mornings I monitor myself and there's no pain at all, and I haven't had that pain since then. The gp had signed the medical consultation form that I needed for my dental clearance. I'm mid moving apartments at this point and I lose that piece of paper (worst mistake I made was not to have a picture of the paper). I ask the GP to fill the paper again, to which he refuses and says if I don't get the CT he won't fill and sign the paper (basically he voids the first note he made). I know the gp was protecting himself as well but I honestly have not had this behaviour from a doctor before.. and I have lived in the middle-east, asia and europe before. It literally felt like 'you wont give me what I want, then even I wont give you something you want'. I try for the student dentist to speak to the gp and the gp tells her im not clearing her for the dental work because she didnt make it to the scan (first time in my life i experienced a doctor refusing his word but idk how things run in America). This is now mid of December. I tell the student dentist that I do have tooth pain for which I have proof of on texts. I end up going to another gp (who also states that cavities can cause mouth infections), she runs tests again which all come normal this time and clears me for dental work. Also turns out my pelvis pain was ovulation pain according to a gynaecologist. At this point (first week of Jan) I tell the student I'm still in pain and she said temporary filling can stay long and the tooth was cleaned and the pain can come from the tooth adjacent to it which has a decay as well. I go to UIC in the second week of January, 15-16 weeks after my temporary filling was done. She does my permanent filling and does cleaning of the teeth. She rushes through the cleaning and says ill complete the full procedure of cleaning next time you come. All this time I think she's been helping me so I cooperated a lot as well. I know the medical consultation were also my fault as I misplaced the paper so im fully responsible for that.
But im still in pain after the permanent filling. So sept - January.. still in pain. I spent $500 at UIC and I am in pain. I don't reach out to her again and decide to go to another dentist now. The new dentist tells me there's a lot of tartar buildup around tooth 19th. She tells me the cleaning was not done properly and the filling is also not right. The dentist cleans as much as she could and prescribes augmentin and calls me back. (This is third week of Jan). The pain goes away idk because of pills or the proper cleaning? When she calls me back she says she'll re-do filling for #19 and does filling for #18. When she opens #19 she says there's a lot of decay that was left behind and is shocked as to what was done. She even does a hole on the side of my molar which was never done at UIC. She shows me the color inside of the tooth and explains the difference between a decay and normal tooth structure. But the decay was very close to my nerve, she tells me she's trying her best not to reach the nerve but if the pain still persists then I need an RCT. She gives me another round augmentin as an insurance if the pain persists. (4th week of Jan) This is also when I tell student dentist what the second dentist has claimed and done. She apologies and says she's sorry and admits she rushed the cleaning, but says the doctor checked the tooth at every point during the filling and it's unfortunate I had to go somewhere else for my pain. I ask her simply if I can get reimbursed for my money because I didnt get what I was supposed to (which is relief lol) she says 'You came in for an urgent care appt back in sept we took an X-ray of the tooth bothering you and there was a cavity there so we treated it. We do not provide cleanings for an urgent care appt. I don’t think we can offer reimbursement for everything but just see and ask'

I ask the GP to fill the paper again, to which he refuses and says if I don't get the CT he won't fill and sign the paper (basically he voids the first note he made). I know the gp was protecting himself as well but I honestly have not had this behaviour from a doctor before.. and I have lived in the middle-east, asia and europe before. It literally felt like 'you wont give me what I want, then even I wont give you something you want'. I try for the student dentist to speak to the gp and the gp tells her im not clearing her for the dental work because she didnt make it to the scan (first time in my life i experienced a doctor refusing his word but idk how things run in America). This is now mid of December. I tell the student dentist that I do have tooth pain for which I have proof of on texts. I end up going to another gp (who also states that cavities can cause mouth infections), she runs tests again which all come normal this time and clears me for dental work. Also turns out my pelvis pain was ovulation pain according to a gynaecologist. At this point (first week of Jan) I tell the student I'm still in pain and she said temporary filling can stay long and the tooth was cleaned and the pain can come from the tooth adjacent to it which has a decay as well. I go to UIC in the second week of January, 15-16 weeks after my temporary filling was done. She does my permanent filling and does cleaning of the teeth. She rushes through the cleaning and says ill complete the full procedure of cleaning next time you come. All this time I think she's been helping me so I cooperated a lot as well. I know the medical consultation were also my fault as I misplaced the paper so im fully responsible for that.
But im still in pain after the permanent filling. So sept - January.. still in pain. I spent $500 at UIC and I am in pain. I don't reach out to her again and decide to go to another dentist now. The new dentist tells me there's a lot of tartar buildup around tooth 19th. She tells me the cleaning was not done properly and the filling is also not right. The dentist cleans as much as she could and prescribes augmentin and calls me back. (This is third week of Jan). The pain goes away idk because of pills or the proper cleaning? When she calls me back she says she'll re-do filling for #19 and does filling for #18. When she opens #19 she says there's a lot of decay that was left behind and is shocked as to what was done. She even does a hole on the side of my molar which was never done at UIC. She shows me the color inside of the tooth and explains the difference between a decay and normal tooth structure. But the decay was very close to my nerve, she tells me she's trying her best not to reach the nerve but if the pain still persists then I need an RCT. She gives me another round augmentin as an insurance if the pain persists. (4th week of Jan) This is also when I tell student dentist what the second dentist has claimed and done. She apologies and says she's sorry and admits she rushed the cleaning, but says the doctor checked the tooth at every point during the filling and it's unfortunate I had to go somewhere else for my pain. I ask her simply if I can get reimbursed for my money because I didnt get what I was supposed to (which is relief lol) she says 'You came in for an urgent care appt back in sept we took an X-ray of the tooth bothering you and there was a cavity there so we treated it. We do not provide cleanings for an urgent care appt. I don’t think we can offer reimbursement for everything but just see and ask'
Now in the meantime, I am trying to call UIC customer service. Left voicemail in December to get help, no one ever called back. Left emails, no response. Then in February I find out about UI health and someone answers my calls (first time talking to someone about my experience other than the student dentist). They take a note and I get a call from the department who handles the Dentistry. She asks me what has happened, I tell her all the above. She asks me what I want now, I tell her I want my money back. She says she'll speak the the doctor in their department. The doctor asks for my xrays and doctors note from the other dental clinic. I send them on 1st of March. No reply for 2 weeks after sending many follow up emails. I get a reply back mid of March that she herself was on vacation for 2 weeks. Note: no out of office automated email lol. Then mid of march she says everyone's on Spring break, wait for 20th March for doctors to come back. I follow up, with initially a response to wait. Followed up several times later, no response. I email her saying 'I'm in a lot of pain and I need a root canal. Can you please help me with this? If not I need a supervisor. I can not wait further. I have been suffering since September. I'm a student myself and im on a visa. I am taking ibuprofen and tylenols everyday since September which has its own side effects. I'm at the verge of crying. I can't even get help from the UIC customer service side now?' Got an answer today saying 'Doctor reviewed your x-rays and took in consideration your concerns. He determined that the refund we would only be provide to you for the prophy (cleaning), which was not finished by the student. For #19 filling, which you informed us that after being seen by the outside provider you are now in need of a root canal and based on the x-rays provided, we would not be able to do a refund since we were not given the opportunity to see you for the toothache prior to seeking care elsewhere. Unfortunately at this time we see no wrongdoing on the student’s end based on what we stated “the x-rays we would once again not be able to provide a refund for #19”.' I have sent her a proof of the doctors note saying she did code D2392 and it was completed. And my prescription.
Now I do not know what to do.. should I leave everything, and continue with my money gone to waste? Or should I fight? What are my rights as a patient? Or am I wrong? I take tylenols and ibuprofen for my pain daily. I am not mad at the student i know shes learning and i get it, but there are so many senior dentists there who looked at me.. and this was the result? Did they look in rush because they have so many patients? I don't know what to do.. obviously I can't afford a lawyer to start a case so yeah im just lost.
2023.03.28 23:19 showMeYourCroissant Where some of you guys find all those people who care about you and want to be friends?
I'm going to sound bitter as hell because I am.
I quite often see posts from people here who have friends who care about them and want to spend time together or despite literally not talking with anyone getting nice people who make effort to know you. I've got dumped very fast after I'd started showing signs of being depressed or stopped having anything interesting for them to say. And I was not even whining or being negative but soon I was watching them completely ignoring me and going to talk with people who had more interesting lives (having boyfriends, going out, travelling)... and I guess that's fair. Why would you waste your time on someone who has nothing interesting to you going on in their lives?
Like, I've never met a person who asked me about anything in my life except of "you don't have a boyfriend, right?", "wow, you live alone, no boyfriend? and you're ok with that?, "do you even leave your apartment?". No one ever asked me about my hobbies and interests, I'm not exaggerating. And no one wants to tell me about things they're interested in, only if I directly ask but they won't come to me after to tell me about some cool movie they watched or to show me a thing they crafted.
99% of people show no interest in me and even if I meet someone who is friendly, they lose interest in me pretty fast, despite me being friendly as well and making effort to know them. I've been trying for like 7 years but now I have basically nothing in common with an average person of any age. I think I actually started developing AvPD because it actually started happening from my earliest teenage years but now I think I lost this battle officially.
I guess people outright see that I'm a boring person who has nothing interesting in their lives and they don't care about my "personality" and thoughts. It's funny how people say I'm kind, helpful, have good sense of humour and so many interests but none of it matters in the end.
When I read posts about how some avoid their friends who are making so much effort to still keep in touch or people who don't leave their houses getting dates and people wanting to know them, I feel like an actual walking talking bag of garbage because people do not care about me no matter what I do. After all these years I actually believe I am one because I've seen nastiest, meanest and most boring people get attention and love, and I'm a subhuman.

2023.03.28 22:49 Ling0 Rough Timeline of TN Events
With all the information coming out about the instagram message and police response, I put together a somewhat accurate timeline of everything based on CCTV footage and police body cams as well. Had to do some math based on a clock on the wall and what it looks like, I'll make a note of where that is. Anything with notes is clarified at the bottom.
** AH whereabouts are uncertain after this point
*** Clock on wall when officers arrive appears to show rough time of 10:24 AM. Bodycams did not show timestamps so officers movements were calculated based on video timestamps.
Entire event took ~30 minutes, police arrive within 10 minutes of call, AH stopped within 5 minutes of officer arrival. So far no timeline of when victims were shot. Compared to Uvalde, these officers arrived slightly later but resolved the issue in a fraction of the time. These officers deserve SO much credit for their actions.

PENTAGON JR. vs REY MYSTERIO Semi-Final Match in the AZW World Championship Tournament
The match starts off with a show of respect by the two luchadores before they lock in, Penta managing to display his higher strength off the bat, throwing and dunking Rey around before Rey counters with a big superkick. It doesn't take a long while before both men start picking up the pace, where we get to see all kinds of Takedowns, Arm-Bars and Drop Kicks from each individual, Rey almost getting a win with a West Coast Pop and same for Penta, getting a real close 2 count with a Canadian Destroyer off the middle rope when Mysterio manages to put his leg on the bottom rope.
Near the end, Penta lands a pretty strong Sling Blade and goes for another one but Rey ducks and hurricanranna's Penta into the ropes, sets it up and lands a 619, followed by a Springboard Splash that allows him to get the win. Mysterio defies all odds and reaches the finals!

Well Hayter's gonna hate
Britt looks in confusion as Jamie Hayter comes out as the second participant. They knew they would be in this match but not that they will kick off. Hater strides into the ring, and both women shake hands, wanting to make this match as fair and real as possible.
WOMEN'S GAUNTLET MATCH No.1 Contendership Match for the AZW Women's Championship
Britt Baker vs. Jamie Hayter
They both take their time before locking in, each shoving and punching the other, buying time and dealing low damage as either was not in the mood to really hurt the other. The match turns into a chop fest afterwards, with both women eventually picking up the pace, and we start seeing Lariats, Suplexes and Kicks. Near the end stretch both women are all fired up, and Baker lands a Curb Stomp t get a 2 count, She sets up the lockjaw but Hayter rolls her around to get the 3 count!
Baker stands there shocked as she lost but accepts it slowly, patting on Hayter's back saying well done and leaves, but did not look happy

Asuka!
Hayter smiles and screams "come on" as Asuka does her walk and enters the ring, looking fresher and fiercer than before!
Jamie Hayter vs Asuka
Asuka dominates Hayter the beaten up Jamie in the first few minutes but Jamie eventually makes a comeback, suplexing Asuka on the turnbuckle and lays down a barrage of kicks.

The Crowd erupts for the Samurai Queen!
Hikaru Shida makes her AZW debut and walks into the ring, having an intense stare down with her fellow Joshi !
Asuka vs. Hikaru Shida
Shida gives Asuka a minute to breathe and prep herself before the two women lock in. Shida, obviously gets the upper hand off the bat, landing a picture perfect Vertical Suplex for a 2 count. Shida shows her immense strength and beats up Asuka for a good amount of time before Asuka sneakily locks the arm bar, followed by a Roundhouse kick when Shida gets out of the submission. Asuka lays down a barrage of attacks that Shida takes head down, including kicking out at 2 after a Spin Kick. The match goes on for a few minutes before Shida hits the Shidax Q for a very close 2 count, followed by Asuka trapping Shida into an Angle Hold, followed by a German Suplex and an Asuka lock that Shida fights against for a while but ultimately gets knocked out.

So with what he has, he wants to make the best of it. He wants the title and give his legacy one last badge, this is Mysterio's last swansong.

Our favorite Cowboy!

ACE AUSTIN vs, 'HANGMAN' ADAM PAGE Singles Match
Ace rolls out of the ring and mocks Hangman initially before Hangman chases him and slams him into the barricade. Hangman beats up Austin all across the ring before sending him inside but eats a basement dropkick on his arrival to the ring. Ace picks up his natural speed and nails a perfect Corkscrew Senton. He goes outside and mocks Page's finisher, before hitting a Springboard Leg Drop for a 2 count. Austin punishes Hangman for a while before Hangman counters with a Lariat.

(8:00 Minutes)

Hangman kicks Austin out of the ring and asks for a mic
Hangman : (breathes) This guy, right here, tried to mess with me and keep me away from my title. He got what he deserved. Guess who has something he did not deserve? (Stares at the crowd) JAY WHITE! I know you are watching and you know that you ain't worthy of holding that belt. Come on out and face me like a champion should!
Knife Pervert!
White comes out with his Intercontinental Championship and smirks.
White : You got balls to call me out like this Hangman : Oh yeah, I've got balls, unlike a certain snake standing in front of me. I just beat up your precious lackey and made the statement I needed to make. I am done repeating the underdog Hangman Page story again and again, No no no, this time around, I want to make the statement from the get go. Give me my match at the pay per view Jay White : You didn't make any jackshit of a statement. Congratulations you won but that ain't enough for you to order me to give you a match. Hell, years ago I already proved you ain't worth jackshit and White is the bigger star. You can make these idiots in the crowd believe that you have grown, but in my eyes, you're still the pathetic undercard guy. As for a match at the Pay Per View.............. Maybe just maybe I will give you your match. But I need a couple of days before I decide -
White drops the mic and at that moment Chris Bey comes from the behind and blindsides Hangman with Ace's stick, knocking him put and laughs over Hangman's limp body as White poses!
(Segment - 5:00 Minutes)

FIGHT OWENS FIGHT
Kevin Owens makes his way to the rings, followed by Sami Zayn. They soak in the welcome chants from the crowd before Kevin starts off by confirming that yes, Kevin and Sami are here at Arcade Zone Wrestling as a duo. All their life they've made their debut in every company beating the living crap of each other and it was about time they understood that they peak together
Sami continues by saying that the best possible way they could make their mark as a duo is by going after the best team in the business and that's how he convinced Kevin to confront his friends, The Young Bucks and they wanna talk.
Superkick PARTEY!
The Bucks join KO and Sami in the ring. Matt and Nick nod at the duo and greet them with "Steen" and "Generico". Sami cuts them off immediately and corrects them is Generico had his happy ending and he is not that man which Bucks reply with "Suureee" and wink
Bucks starts off by saying that they are happy that the ROH and PWG guys are finally back under the same roof and are happy they are here as a duo but! They are not ready to give them a shot at any gold purely because unlike The Bucks, KO and Sami are friends who tag together, not a real tag team. KO and Sami argue by saying that they have better chemistry than teams with decades under them and yes, they do make a good point. And to get those titles they are ready to prove themselves in every way possible, even ready to face the Bucks in their strongest domain and reach the absolute height! The Bucks think for a minute and nod.
"Like Gentlemen, no more playground backstabbing, let's show the world who wins, blood brothers or brothers forged in friendship" and KO/Sami shake the hand. They all look to the back and get the confirmation - They will be facing each for the AZW Tag Team Championship at the Pay Per View! And since they wanted the strongest Bucks' domain, this will be a Ladder Match! Only on a condition that the winners will defend the titles week in week out to give the other teams a fair shot!
(Promo Segment - 6:00 Minutes)

I AM PHENOMENAL
It's time for the MAIN EVENT!
Someone's gonna get the f'in head kicked in
Bryan Danielson walks down to the ring to the awaiting Styles as the two veterans of the industry, ready to square off one more time - This time for a shot at the AZW World Championship by facing Rey Mysterio in the final!
AJ STYLES vs. BRYAN DANIELSON Semi-Final Match in the AZW World Championship Tournament
AJ does his pose to taunt the crowd, only to be dropped by a arm-drag and then Bryan does AJ's pose to mock him. Styles, pissed, goes right after Bryan in an aggressive way and the match kicks off with full speed. Styles controls the opening half of the match, keeping up his pace, even nailing a perfect Pele Kick into a knee-strike combo and lock in the calf-crusher which the technical master Bryan manages to escape from and lock in the Triangular Choke which Style uses to pick up Bryan and slam him into the corner. The match goes on for a few more minutes, Bryan suppressing Styles' fast paced offense with his holds and fierce chops.
The last stretch gets intense as Bryan goes for the Lebel Lock but Styles evades, and lands a good punt across Bryan's face, goes to the side and nails a Springboard 450 Splash to get a very close 2 count. Styles puts the pressure on but Bryan somehow evades and hits a Dragon Suplex, followed by a perfect Running Knee but Styles rolls out of the ring. Bryan goes outside but Styles slams Bryan on the steel steps and gets back in, nailing Bryan with a Styles Clash as Bryan comes back in for a 3 count! Styles is going to the finals!
AJ Styles def. Bryan Danielson to advance in the AZW World Championship Tournament!
Styles smiles at the shiny belt at the ringside as we confirm our main event for our first PPV AJ Styles vs. Rey Mysterio for the World Championship!

The match turns into a chop fest afterwards, with both women eventually picking up the pace, and we start seeing Lariats, Suplexes and Kicks. Near the end stretch both women are all fired up, and Baker lands a Curb Stomp t get a 2 count, She sets up the lockjaw but Hayter rolls her around to get the 3 count!
Baker stands there shocked as she lost but accepts it slowly, patting on Hayter's back saying well done and leaves, but did not look happy

Jamie Hayter vs Asuka
Asuka dominates Hayter the beaten up Jamie in the first few minutes but Jamie eventually makes a comeback, suplexing Asuka on the turnbuckle and lays down a barrage of kicks. Asuka regains her focus after that and a spinning fist followed by a Spin Kick does the job for her as she pins and eliminates Jamie.

Shida gives Asuka a minute to breathe and prep herself before the two women lock in. Shida, obviously gets the upper hand off the bat, landing a picture perfect Vertical Suplex for a 2 count. Shida shows her immense strength and beats up Asuka for a good amount of time before Asuka sneakily locks the arm bar, followed by a Roundhouse kick when Shida gets out of the submission. Asuka lays down a barrage of attacks that Shida takes head down, including kicking out at 2 after a Spin Kick. The match goes on for a few minutes before Shida hits the Shidax Q for a very close 2 count, followed by Asuka trapping Shida into an Angle Hold, followed by a German Suplex and an Asuka lock that Shida fights against for a while but ultimately gets knocked out. That's it, we have a winner who started at 3!

Hangman : (breathes) This guy, right here, tried to mess with me and keep me away from my title. He got what he deserved. Guess who has something he did not deserve? (Stares at the crowd) JAY WHITE! I know you are watching and you know that you ain't worthy of holding that belt. Come on out and face me like a champion should!
Knife Pervert!
White comes out with his Intercontinental Championship and smirks.
White : You got balls to call me out like this Hangman : Oh yeah, I've got balls, unlike a certain snake standing in front of me. I just beat up your precious lackey and made the statement I needed to make. I am done repeating the underdog Hangman Page story again and again, No no no, this time around, I want to make the statement from the get go. Give me my match at the pay per view Jay White : You didn't make any jackshit of a statement. Congratulations you won but that ain't enough for you to order me to give you a match. Hell, years ago I already proved you ain't worth jackshit and White is the bigger star. You can make these idiots in the crowd believe that you have grown, but in my eyes, you're still the pathetic undercard guy. As for a match at the Pay Per View.............. Maybe just maybe I will give you your match. But I need a couple of days before I decide -
White drops the mic and at that moment Chris Bey comes from the behind and blindsides Hangman with Ace's stick, knocking him put and laughs over Hangman's limp body as White poses!

FIGHT OWENS FIGHT
Kevin Owens makes his way to the rings, followed by Sami Zayn. They soak in the welcome chants from the crowd before Kevin starts off by confirming that yes, Kevin and Sami are here at Arcade Zone Wrestling as a duo. All their life they've made their debut in every company beating the living crap of each other and it was about time they understood that they peak together
Sami continues by saying that the best possible way they could make their mark as a duo is by going after the best team in the business and that's how he convinced Kevin to confront his friends, The Young Bucks and they wanna talk.
Superkick PARTEY!
The Bucks join KO and Sami in the ring. Matt and Nick nod at the duo and greet them with "Steen" and "Generico". Sami cuts them off immediately and corrects them is Generico had his happy ending and he is not that man which Bucks reply with "Suureee" and wink
Bucks starts off by saying that they are happy that the ROH and PWG guys are finally back under the same roof and are happy they are here as a duo but! They are not ready to give them a shot at any gold purely because unlike The Bucks, KO and Sami are friends who tag together, not a real tag team. KO and Sami argue by saying that they have better chemistry than teams with decades under them and yes, they do make a good point. And to get those titles they are ready to prove themselves in every way possible, even ready to face the Bucks in their strongest domain and reach the absolute height! The Bucks think for a minute and nod.
"Like Gentlemen, no more playground backstabbing, let's show the world who wins, blood brothers or brothers forged in friendship" and KO/Sami shake the hand. They all look to the back and get the confirmation - They will be facing each for the AZW Tag Team Championship at the Pay Per View! And since they wanted the strongest Bucks' domain, this will be a Ladder Match! Only on a condition that the winners will defend the titles week in week out to give the other teams a fair shot!

AJ does his pose to taunt the crowd, only to be dropped by a arm-drag and then Bryan does AJ's pose to mock him. Styles, pissed, goes right after Bryan in an aggressive way and the match kicks off with full speed. Styles controls the opening half of the match, keeping up his pace, even nailing a perfect Pele Kick into a knee-strike combo and lock in the calf-crusher which the technical master Bryan manages to escape from and lock in the Triangular Choke which Style uses to pick up Bryan and slam him into the corner. The match goes on for a few more minutes, Bryan suppressing Styles' fast paced offense with his holds and fierce chops.
The last stretch gets intense as Bryan goes for the Lebel Lock but Styles evades, and lands a good punt across Bryan's face, goes to the side and nails a Springboard 450 Splash to get a very close 2 count. Styles puts the pressure on but Bryan somehow evades and hits a Dragon Suplex, followed by a perfect Running Knee but Styles rolls out of the ring. Bryan goes outside but Styles slams Bryan on the steel steps and gets back in, nailing Bryan with a Styles Clash as Bryan comes back in for a 3 count! Styles is going to the finals!
AJ Styles def. Bryan Danielson to advance in the AZW World Championship Tournament!

2023.03.28 21:43 princess_raspberry12 By the time you even get the Overpowered Extras, you'd be burned out and have NO use for them.
Why do i need to learn the game inside out to get Cat ears/handcannon/Chicago typrwriter?
You're forced to speedrun the game (which is fine), and doing this means you have to route and know whats coming, what to loot and where specific things are, all puzzle solutions , when to fight when to run what enemies are dangerous etc. if after doing ALL of this and speedrunning the game on the hardest difficulty; WHAT fun would using infinite ammo/overpowered weapons be? What use would the provide?
You'd waste hours and hours doing the aforementioned things, just to finally get the extras and you would have spent more time grinding for them than actually using them?? REALLY leaves a soured taste in my mouth.
Why would i use bonus weapons ? i thought the idea behind overpowered bonus items was to make the higher difficulties a cakewalk to complete challenges?
Theres no whimsy, theres no dopamine rush, nothing to look forward to. "ive beaten this part in record time and have beaten the game 30 times but NOW i get to finally use this weapon!"
Think about it. I'm not mad, I'm just gonna get the unlock all DLC and do my first pro mode run with the unlocks because at least it would be NEW EXCITING EXPERIENCE WITH WEAPONS I NEVER USED BEFORE IN A NEW SETTING IVE NEVER TRIED.
and that's the bottom line to this. There would be more fun had using post game weapon in your first pro run than there would be in you 10th run where you know EVERYTHING there is to know about the game.

2023.03.28 20:37 swingerlover THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF LOVE SPELLS #lovespell #lovespells
 | https://preview.redd.it/0apt40ofesj51.jpg?width=935&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8900ff69b29746913f2d020247934d364e36f7e6 submitted by swingerlover to occultspells [link] [comments] The erotic attraction spells also known as love spells, can be traced from the syncretic magic custom of Hellenistic Greece- which included the Hebraic and Egyptian features as recorded in texts like the Greek Magical Papyri and also on amulets as well as other artefacts that date up to late third century A.D. The magical rituals continued to impact on private custom among German society, in Gaul (for Celtic people) and Roman Britain. Erotic magic exhibited gender responsibilities in classical Greece and dropped the contemporary misconceptions on gender lines and sexuality. According to the University of Chicago’s Christopher Faraone- a classical professor, there was a clear distinction between magic practiced by both genders with men practicing Eros and women Philia. Indeed, the two kinds of spells can be linked to gender responsibilities in Ancient Greece. Because women depended on men, they used philia. From ancient times, women weak and utilize any means possible to maintain their spouses. At the time when men had the liberty to leave their wives as they wished, the use of philia was necessary. With that, most women chose to use it as a way to maintain their beauty and as a source of peace of mind. Make Men Faithful Women used philia magic to make their men faithful and stick to them. Elementary beliefs on sexual attitudes in Greece were rejected by the discovery of the philia love spells, rituals, and potions. Rather than applying it as a means of getting sexual pleasure, women used the spells as medicine or therapy. Women used philia spells to try to conserve their beauty and remain appealing. This can be related to general medical usage by women. In ancient Greece, most women used spells as a kind of therapy. Despite the form of spells and whether they worked or not, there was something special about them- they made the users feel more contented with their situations and have the feeling that they have some powers over the prevailing situations. In that case, magic works just like regions. In a nutshell, prayers and spells have a lot of similarities in that both bring the tranquility of mind and they both use something spiritual to command something that is presently unmanageable. https://preview.redd.it/0pk3wcelesj51.jpg?width=918&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a686da4befcd7a4e5c0a707ab5e83679f576be4 For men and prostitutes, Eros spells were mainly used to serve an entirely different role in ancient Greece. They were mostly applied by men to introduce lust and enthusiasm into women, directing them to accomplish the men’s desires. Without some kind of powers like that exhibited by spells, women felt insecure that is why they would strive to seek the affection producing spells. While men experienced a free life where they chose what they wanted to do, women on the other hand were relatively restricted. For instance, they were required to serve only one husband and home. This prompted women who were not practicing prostitution to apply eros magic to meet their sexual demands. Women in love Magic. Malleus Maleficarum of 1487 best illustrated the view of women in the Renaissance. The introduction part of the text presents the sexuality of women with respect to the devil. In his book, Heinrich Kramer wrote, “All witchcraft originates from sexual desire, which in women is unquenchable.” At this time, men of the Renaissance fretted the sexual capability of the opposite gender. They linked it to the devil and thought of them as sexual associates to demons. The book, Kramer narrates a case where a witch got her powers by summoning the devil to get into sexual relations. By the use of her sexual powers, she acquires power, therefore, viewed as evil and a threat. To confirm this, in most of the witchcraft prosecutions submitted before the Holy Office (in Roman Inquisition), women were accused using their own sexuality to bind their lusts and sexuality. From Ancient experiences and stories, it is evident that Love Spells had a great impact on love matters. Like today, it was respected and feared by people. Also, it was used by others to fulfill their sexual needs where possible. Love spells are deeply rooted to the lives of most people. Therefore, even in the contemporary world, many people can still relate to it. Although there has been a lot of transformations in terms of lifestyle and the view of people on supernatural powers, love spells can’t be underrated. Want Izabael To Cast a Spell For You?

2023.03.28 20:17 SaraWillson_ You have to hand over your apartment to new tenants, but it's in disarray?
 | As an owner of several rentals, it has happened to me that my tenants decide to leave, but they hand over my property in questionable and very dirty conditions, they don't seem to care about the deposit they gave in the beginning, when this happens I prefer not to get into conflicts and I just want them to leave as soon as possible, so I can rent. submitted by SaraWillson_ to u/SaraWillson_ [link] [comments] https://i.redd.it/vy34voyjuiqa1.gif Some may think that the deposit money would be enough to cover the cost of repairing and cleaning up the damage caused by the tenants. However, on many occasions, the money is not enough and we end up spending more than we would have saved if the tenants had simply cleaned the place before they left. When we find ourselves in this situation, we look for high-quality cleaning services at affordable prices to save money without compromising the quality of the work. Personally, I recommend Quick Cleaning to everyone I know for these types of jobs in Chicago, as they offer a Move Out Cleaning service Chicago that leaves everything spotless and their prices are the best on the market. I have had the experience that some tenants behave irresponsibly and leave my property in a very bad state when they leave. Sometimes, these tenants can be troublesome people and to avoid conflicts, I prefer to hire the cleaning services of a reliable company on my own to ensure my safety and comfort. |
2023.03.28 19:52 eskimoboob Illinois Senate proposes bill that would crack down on “fake” women’s health centers
State Senator Celina Villanueva (D-Chicago) is sponsoring bill SB 1909 ( https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/103/SB/PDF/10300SB1909lv.pdf ), which is titled the “Deceptive Practices of Limited Services Pregnancy Centers Act.”
This bill takes direct aim at shutting down fake “medical” centers (aka “Pregnancy Crisis centers”) usually created by religious organizations that use coercion or misinformation to persuade clients that abortion is not available for them. These centers purposely mislead clients into believing they are receiving medical assistance and accurate medical information.
However, these “clinics” do not require licensed medical staff, and the volunteers usually do not have any medical certification at all. Although medical equipment may be used (sonograms), the volunteers can not accurately measure the age of gestation.
Usually, these “clinics” falsely inform their clients they have already passed the available window for safe termination. Inaccurate 3D models of mature fetuses are also displayed to the client for emotional manipulation. These clinics use other coercive measures by promising discounted infant supplies at their “boutiques”, only if clients return for their “parenting” classes. Some “clinics” try to appear non-threatening by using home-like decor to give the impression that clients can trust the staff like they would a family member.
SB 1909 allows the Illinois Attorney General (AG) to investigate all centers it believes are providing any wrong information or omitting any correct information in any form (advertising, speaking to a client, offering services, denying services, answering questions, etc.). If it is determined there is a violation of this Act, Pregnancy Care Centers can be fined up to $50,000 per incident and clients may take centers to court for other civil penalties with the AG’s blessing and detailed documentation against the centers.
This proposal will likely be called in the Illinois Senate Executive Committee ( https://www.ilga.gov/senate/committees/members.asp?committeeID=2902 ) hearing scheduled for 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 29.

2023.03.28 19:25 NewNegus01 Sold myself short
In my personal statement and diversity statements, I spoke about when my Ethiopian father and I were hit by multiple semi-trailers on the interstate just before the start of undergrad. He gave me chest compressions for thirty minutes thinking I was dead, and then miraculously managed to bring me back to consciousness. I sustained a traumatic brain injury with bleeding in my brain stem and corpus callosum, consistent with a diffuse axonal injury. I shouldn't be here at all, let alone applying to law school. I wanted to use this experience to fight for people in the courtroom who were hurt by corporate and government abuses of power.
I have been in the worst mental state that I've ever been since the accident because I sold myself short. I had multiple people on this sub tell me to blanket the T-14, and I was under so much stress that for some reason I thought I would leave schools untouched in case this cycle didn't work out. That was the worst mistake of my life. I only hit 8 of the T-14, barely any of the T-6, I didn't think I was good enough and it would be a waste of money. I had the Michigan application literally complete and ready to send out and didn’t do it because of this logic. Seeing other applicants on this sub now with stats just like mine, 3.93, 16low, getting into schools like Yale, Columbia, Chicago, I know that if I just would have tried, especially towards the end when my app material was actually good, I would have gotten in. I got an interview with Harvard in February for god sake. I have no other acceptances to work with Northwestern, and if they aren't willing to negotiate with me, I don't think I'll be able to afford to go. Now with affirmative action ready to be banned, I don't think I will ever stand a chance at those schools again, not at least with a 10 point boost on the LSAT, a new personal statement, a new job. I don't know what else I would talk about besides that accident, it was the defining moment in my life. I put so much effort into this whole process and I feel like a failure. some of my applications had no titles, went over the page limit, simple mistakes that if I would have fixed I probably would have gotten in. After the Harvard/Berkeley waitlist, and Cornell reject, my family was so disappointed, wondering why I didn't apply to more schools. Shit, I almost withdrew my applications multiple times because of my indecisiveness, I would have never put myself through this and applied this cycle if it wasn't for our god forbidden supreme court. I don't think I'll ever forgive myself for this...
I’m trying to focus on what I can do now, but I can’t keep my mind of the past. These were grave mistakes.
(UPDATE! For some reason after posting this Northwestern decided to hit me with a THREE YEAR FULL TUITION SCHOLARSHIP!!!! GOD IS GOOD!)

2023.03.28 19:15 False_Temperature_95 Losing my mind over a friendship
Hey everyone I’m new around here. I have BPD and either a full AvPD diagnosis or possible NPD traits (I’m still being evaluated to determine). Got diagnosed first 2 years ago but I quickly dropped out of treatment. I didn’t want to think of myself as having a disordered personality, but it’s only gotten worse for me. I’m now 23 and ready to figure out what all of this means for me. I’m too anxious for relationships, so I get attached to friends and dependent on them instead. I’m not sure what to do.
I live in contradictory hell with these disorders. I feel that I’m taking advantage of everyone just by wanting to talk to them. Everything I think and feel is ‘wrong’ and I want to get away from it. But my feelings are so strong it’s unbearable. Even happiness feels like pain. I’m hating closeness and trying to stay away as much as I can but the other side of me is always getting way too close in the relationships I can keep so they don’t leave me. Hating talking personal about myself but I’m also making the relationship too much about me and can’t stop talking. Then obsessing about myself and thinking everyone should care about my problems, but simultaneously they all despise me and I shouldn’t talk.
I contradict myself constantly. I’m in a terrible mental state, considering a hospital stay. Problem is I’ve never been and keep telling myself I’m not bad enough. I’d be ‘stealing resources’ for my own selfish problems. But I can’t clean, I can’t eat, I can’t work, I can’t leave my house. I’m fucking miserable and struggle to see any point
I hate to vent to my best friend because I feel like I’m taking up too much space for my troubles, but then I don’t even improve. She has so many problems of her own, and she takes the time out of her day to consider me a friend. I don’t deserve this but I’m filled with joy/trust. But I’m also sick to my stomach because I know she’s going to leave when she discovers I’m a terrible person and that I don’t change. That I only care about myself. I can feel the abandonment creeping towards me and I want to die. I’m watching myself ruin everything from third person with the popcorn in hand.
I feel like she’s only my friend because she (falsely) believes I have potential. I’ve somehow manipulated her into thinking I’m a nice person. I feel like I’m so much worse than she thinks. I can’t understand why someone would care about me. I get her texts saying I need to try to get help RIGHT NOW, take charge of my life and make a decision for myself, and instead I just want to sink into the ground and die. I feel like I’ve done something really wrong (making it about me) and I should stop talking to her
I don’t know. I’m not really sure what the point of this is, or if people will even read it. Just shouting out to anyone I suppose

I live in contradictory hell with these disorders. I feel that I’m taking advantage of everyone just by wanting to talk to them. Everything I think and feel is ‘wrong’ and I want to get away from it. But my feelings are so strong it’s unbearable. Even happiness feels like pain. I’m hating closeness and trying to stay away as much as I can but the other side of me is always getting way too close in the relationships I can keep so they don’t leave me. Hating talking personal about myself but I’m also making the relationship too much about me and can’t stop talking. Then obsessing about myself and thinking everyone should care about my problems, but simultaneously they all despise me and I shouldn’t talk.
I contradict myself constantly. I’m in a terrible mental state, considering a hospital stay. Problem is I’ve never been and keep telling myself I’m not bad enough. I’d be ‘stealing resources’ for my own selfish problems. But I can’t clean, I can’t eat, I can’t work, I can’t leave my house. I’m fucking miserable and struggle to see any point
I hate to vent to my best friend because I feel like I’m taking up too much space for my troubles, but then I don’t even improve. She has so many problems of her own, and she takes the time out of her day to consider me a friend. I don’t deserve this but I’m filled with joy/trust.

2023.03.28 18:56 thehatstore42069 Pay in Detroit worse than other cities?
Got my advertising degree and I feel like it’s worthless unless I leave the city for like Chicago or something.
Working as an intern rn at rocket but only making like 16.50. I can see the writing on the wall and people are getting canned so I’m looking for a new job, but everything is around the same pay.
I get it’s higher than min wage but it’s not anywhere near enough to have an apartment or anything. And it was the best paying job I could get out of a ton of options despite having a BS. I used to work at a grocery place for $13 an hour. How is that allowed?
I guess my question is. WHERE ARE ALL THE JOBS? Who is living in these expensive run down apartments? Is Detroit even real?

2023.03.28 18:52 bryanfromtejas Looking for roommates!!
Not sure if this post is allowed but I’m not selling anything, just wanted to find someone who’s in Chicago for the summer who would be willing to be roommates with me in a 2 by 2 in downtown or river north maybe slightly north or west and then once I leave I find someone or we both find someone you know who’d be down to live with you for the remainder of the year.
I’m a graduate of UT going to NYU next year and in my free time I love to hang out go to bars and tbh really really love the food in Chicago and the views of the lake and river 😭

Right now I have two offers after withdrawing from my A’s at KU, OU, Baylor, and ASU. I am interested in doing Pub Interest but doing BL for firm that deals in Labor or more progressive clients would be nice. I have an internship with the local PD office this summer. Overall I want to help people and not hate my fucking life. I like DC, Boston, Philly, and Chicago in the long term but will live anywhere I applied the next 3 years. W&M offered me $$$, and when I first applied it was one of my top choices. They were also the first to accept me, my gf has family in VA (we are from FL), my mom is gonna live in VA Beach, and it’s a great school. However Wisconsin offered me a full ride. They are also a great school, Madison is a great city, easy access to Chicago, UW was one of my top choices for Undergrad and my dad’s family is from Milwaukee. From what I have researched both have a great PI culture and people seem to love going there. (Also i’m a big football fan and both teams, for their levels, are on an upswing). Last thing to mention is i’m waiting on decisions still.
Likely to Accept/WL+ : Northeastern
Likely to WL-: Penn, Columbia, NW, UVA
Idk: ND, GW
W&M has their $750 Seat deposit due this Friday, so I feel like I need to decide between Wisco and W&M before then, and then I can think about if I want to go to NE, GW, or any of the others.
