Suze, I only had two, that guy, and a woman from New Zealand, 'cause really, who wants to come to BI?

After I hadn't logged in for a year they suspended my account.

While I was in Europe I met a crazy Japanese guy that was riding a bike around the world, doing magic tricks to get money for food, and sleeping on couches most of the time. If he couldn't get a couch, he slept in parks or fields.

Sillies- I need some advice....something happened yesterday...actually quite a few bad thing but here is the overall one...

I brought home this huge roll of bubble paper from work- bigger than me, two of us lugged into the house. John then left to run to the store for gas in the car so we wouldn't have to go out of our way in the morning. So I was on the phone with my mom and I was standing leaning on our counter and I noticed our sofa had been moved...now we have this sectional so it was just the one end. The odd thing was I know John and I didn't do it..John is really strange about things being straight and nice....So as I looked closer- the coffee table had been moved (you could tell by the imprints in the carpet....) My lighthouse end table was moved and so were the decorations around it and they were sitting next to the coffee table. So I felt a little strange and I quickly hung up the phone with my mom and called John.... He came right home. IN the meantime I called the rental office, and the manager answered. When I asked if they had been in the apartment they said yes. But they went there by accident. The manager said the staff went in the front door and right back out. This is not possible- since we are 2nd floor so you come in the front door downstairs and then come up the stairs to the living area. When I said the furniture was moved around- he seemed surprised but not concerned. So I said well even if you came in by accident you sjhould have left a note. He said well I asked them if they left a note but they said no so I was expecting your call....Now I am thinking a good manager would have got to me before I had to call them....but nothing. So I hung up and I just felt so invaded.

John got home and we realized more furniture had been moved. SO he called the office but he was gone for the day.

I feel like my privacy was invaded....so now what?

Then we call John's dad to wish him a happy birthday and we find out he lost his job that day...he was with a company for over 25 years. Now his dad made a good point- John's check books had been on the counter- so who knows if they took info. My house is in such an uproar right now due to the moving this week that is hard to tell if anything is missing....

So our plan is if we dont hear from the rental office we are claling the cops....what do you think???

are you and John home or at work today

you might have said

with the issue of the check book and apt in a mess for the move things could be missing you don't know about

My first reaction would be to call the police so it's on record and since the apt man has gotten back to you and expected your call.........he should know who was in your apt there for if things are gone and the police have been notified......if things were stolen they might not try to use them as they know it was reported.....and your going to be out of there soon.

just my 2 cents.

CarlaB Enthusiast

I agree. Document who you talked to and at what time at the office ... what they said. I'd hand them a copy and have them sign that they received it. Make them know you're serious.

It is probably something "innocent" like checking to see if the carpets need cleaned .... but still they should have told you.

I agree, call the cops. The man hasn't behaved in an open and trustable manner.

elye Community Regular

Call the cops, Amanda. . . .... . even though you won't have to worry about this landlord for much longer, his less-than-professional behavior should be acknowledged, I think, to the authorities. . . . ......

Jestgar Rising Star

Alright, I'm having a crappy morning.

Cats and stew and computers DO NOT mix well, and likely, only the cat will survive.

Shirts made with two layers of material are a really dumb idea.

flourgirl Apprentice

I'll put in my 2 cents.....they're right. Call the cops so you at least have a complaint on record. It's good that you won't be there much longer....you wouldn't feel safe in your own home anymore. It IS a personal violation.....and it's wrong of them to be there (on accident? come on..) and to not inform you. They would not have had any reason that I can see for moving anything around! I'd be madder n heck ifn it was me :angry:

My studies.....I'm taking an on-line medical transcription course. At this point I'm learning the programs with Microsoft Office....which is way cool. Even the word program has changed so much...so many options toys to play with. I've always had very physical jobs....and I just can't do that anymore. I think this is a good field to get into, and I can always extend my studies to medical coding. My goal is to work from home at some point.

Yes, the picture is my backyard. I love the deer....except when they eat my plants. I have a beautiful, (at least it WAS beautiful) Camelia. The deer love it. I got them to leave it alone long enough for all of the leaves to grow back...but it's now completely bald again!!!! We have also had visits from turkeys, quail and a bear (last march). Wonder if he'll be back this spring!

As soon as weather is warm y'all are invited to sit on the deck, sip iced tea (or what have you) and watch the birdies (and of course, get psilly!)

Amanda, call the cops! You won't have to worry about this landlord much longer, but it should go on public record that he has acted so unprofessionally... . . ..

Ta-reeeesah, have you spotted any nekkid Polish men out there? Whatever you do, DO NOT sign up at Couchsurfers - - you'll be looking out your window at your gorgeous landscape, waiting for deer, quail and bears, and there he'll suddenly be. . . . . . ..

Have not yet had any nekkid any-bodies pop up (nor poop up) in my back yard!

:lol::lol::lol:

Although it could prove to be quite an interesting focal point in one of the gardens....depending on what they looked like :ph34r:

Company is gone. Really enjoyed them. I was hoping for a kwiet afternoon....buuuuuttt noooo...oo.they've been building in the neighborhood all summer....but at the far end. NOW they are digging up the ground and blasing the rocks, and of course not only dynamite but a hydraulic hammer, two lots down. At first I thought the noise was in my front yard. Yeow what a noise :o:blink: At least it's not warm weather when I want to be outside. (I didn't even know it was a vacant lot there, thought it belonged to my neighbor <:shrugface:>

Unfortunately I don't think there is much you can do about this. I do some contract work with a few apartment complexes and this is pretty standard practice. It's likely in your lease agreement somewhere that they can enter your apartment at any time for any reason with or without notice. Most complexes are very good about notifying residents ahead of time but don't always when unscheduled maintenace is necessary. If something is missing you can file a police report but the apartment technically owns the apartment so you'll be dealing with your insurance company. The law is on their side. It is one of the downsides of renting.

Regardless of whether or not you choose to notify police or give the apartment people a hard time, John should go as early tomorrow as possible and close those bank accounts, and get new bank account numbers. If he explains to the bank what happened they should be more than helpful.

True . . . but unscheduled maintenance like your furniture needed to be moved??? . . . doesn't hurt to talk to the police and they most likely will tell you that there is nothing they can do unless something comes up missing. But the whole situation is suspicious . . . why on earth would they move your furniture???

I agree. They should have left a note or called or something.

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.

      Your goal is not to be a good puppet, there is no gain in that. You might want to restart the ones that helped.  It sounds more like you are suffering from malnutrition.  Gluten free foods are not fortified with things like Thiamine (B1), vitamin D, Iodine, B1,2,3,5,6 and 12 as non-gluten free products are required to be. There is a Catch-22 here.  Malnutrition can cause SIBO, and SIBO can worsen malnutrition. Another possibility is side effects from any medication that are taking.  I was on Metformin 3 months before it turned me into a zombi.  I had crippling side effects from most of the BP meds tried on me, and Losartan has many of the side effects on me from my pre gluten free days. Because you have been gluten free, you can test and talk until you are blue in the face but all of your tests will be negative.  Without gluten, you will not create the antigen against gluten, no antigens to gluten, so no small intestine damage from the antigens.  You will need to do a gluten challange to test positive if you need an official diagnosis, and even then, no guaranty: 10 g of gluten per day for 6 weeks! Then a full panel of Celiac tests and biopsy. At a minimum consider vitamin D, Liquid Iodine (unless you have dermatitis herpetiformis and iodine exasperates the rash), and Liquid Geritol. Push for vitamin D testing and a consult with a nutritionist experienced with Celiack Disease.  Most blood tests don't indicate nutritional deficiencies.  Your thyroid tests can be perfect, yet not indicate iodine deficiency for example.  Thiamine   test fine, but not pick up on beriberi.  Vegans are often B12 deficient because meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy are the primary souces of B12. Here is what I take daily.  10,000 IU vitamin D3 750 mg g a b a [   ] 200 mg CoQ10 [   ] 100 mg DHEA [   ] 250 mg thiamine B1 [   ] 100 mg of B2 [   ] 500 mg B5 pantothenic acid [   ] 100 mg B6 [   ] 1000 micrograms B12 n [   ] 500 mg vitamin c [   ] 500 mg taurine [   ] 200 mg selenium

      Hi…Just a note that if you have an allergy to sulfa it’s best not to take Benfotiamine. I bought a bottle and tried one without looking into it first and didn’t feel well.  I checked with my pharmacist and he said not to take it with a known sulfa allergy. I was really bummed because I thought it would help my energy level, but I was thankful I was given this info before taking more of it. 
    • Wheatwacked
      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D.   By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease.  You got it from your mom or dad.  Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms of dementia.  I know that for the 63 years I was eating gluten I got dumber and dumber until I started GFD and vitamin replenishment and it began to reverse.  Thiamine can get used up in a week or two.  Symptoms can come and go with daily diet.  Symptoms of beriberi due to Thiamine deficiency.   Difficulty walking. Loss of feeling (sensation) in hands and feet. Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs. Mental confusion. Pain. Speech difficulties. Strange eye movements (nystagmus) Tingling. Any change in medications? Last March I had corotid artery surgery (90 % blockage), and I started taking Losartan for blood pressure, added to the Clonidine I was taking already.  I was not recovering well and many of my pre gluten free symptoms were back  I was getting worse.  At first I thought it was caused a reaction to the anesthesia from the surgery, but that should have improved after two weeks.  Doctor thought I was just being a wimp. After three months I talked to my doctor about a break from the Losartan to see if it was causing it. It had not made any difference in my bp.  Except for clonindine, all of the previous bp meds tried had not worked to lower bp and had crippling side effects. One, I could not stand up straight; one wobbly knees, another spayed feet.  Inguinal hernia from the Lisinopril cough.  Had I contiued on those, I was destined for a wheelchair or walker. She said the symptoms were not from Losartan so I continued taking it.  Two weeks later I did not have the strength in hips and thighs to get up from sitting on the floor (Help, I can't get up😨).  I stopped AMA (not recommended).  Without the Losartan, a) bp did not change, after the 72 hour withdrawal from Losartanon, on clonidine only and b) symptoms started going away.  Improvement started in 72 hours.  After six weeks they were gone and I am getting better.

      Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.
