Their website is vary sparse. I can find very little information out there on them. Any reviews I find are minimal and usually close together in date. Their listed from Stroudsburg, PA and the address on the contract seems to go to a fucking house based on google maps. BBB shows them but an office in Florida (with a disconnected number listed). A website called ripoffreport shows a report of that office being accused of scamming people and shows them having multiple names.

I should have done more research. I was super anxiety driven because I couldn't find a place to move me in time. Now it's Sunday and no companies are open and I'm freaking out. I have little over a week to make a move happen and I don't know waht to do.

Hakuna matata, it's just stuff. Can you find a new one? If not, is everything insured?

Rent a storage unit and take your essentials in your car while you have more time to move the rest of it with an above board operation.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #603 on:** August 16, 2015, 10:52:17 AM »

they claim to offer a basic insurance

i dunno. i left the rep i'm working with a voicemail and an email out expressing my concerns. maybe a bad idea. dunno. i'm pretty worried right now.

Samson Manhug · « **Reply #604 on:** August 16, 2015, 10:57:40 AM »

I think he is referring to renters insurance which will cover the theft of your belongings.

It's a pretty good idea. I have it through the same company I have car insurance through and it typically costs less than $10 a month.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #607 on:** August 16, 2015, 12:42:41 PM »

Yeah assuming you have a car, you could transport your bare essentials (clothes/computers/irreplaceable belongings) and the furniture and other big stuff can go in the hands of the company if you have renters insurance.

The insurance should be effective immediately so you can get it today, it's good to have just for peace of mind so you don't get yourself (too) stressed out about theft.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #608 on:** August 16, 2015, 01:02:21 PM »

Thanks guys. I've talked to some family/friends and I may be just doing it all myself. renting truck, paying some people I know to move me.

It might be good for you, give you an impetus to throw away some stuff you should have thrown away but didn't because you didn't have to. Downgrading to the Commune meant I had to get rid of a lot of stuff I frankly wasn't using anymore (e.g. my console collection).

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that this project has reached a level of being the most toxic I've been engaged in (which, trust me, is really saying something). People have given up any semblance of professional courtesy and are just yelling at each other in the halls. Everyone's on all the time 7 days a week already and there's still 8 weeks left of this.

NO MORE STRUGGLES

I found a potent remedy for my troubles: Wellbutrin, Klonopin, Adderall, Weed, Caffeine, Alcohol.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #625 on:** August 17, 2015, 11:10:03 AM »

Ran into one of my mom's friends yesterday. Both her and my mom have been trying to set me up with her daughter for years. She confronted me at a store while I was talking with a female friend of mine.

"Phoenix, Phoenixxxx! How are you!"
"Oh I'm good how about yourself?"
"I'm good. [insert daughter's name] was asking about you recently!"
"Oh...cool. Well tell her I said hi"
"Your mom said you need a girlfriend *laughs*"

"She said she didn't like your ex gf. You know who she does like tho"

"well...it was nice talking to you...."
"You too Phoenix. See you soon!"

I've met her daughter a few times but we've literally never had a conversation. She's beautiful and very smart but I'm not looking for a gf regardless. If we tried and failed I'd never hear the end of it. No thanks.

I was on Wellbutrin for awhile, definitely found it amplified the effects of the weed.

My fav combo for life is definitely weed, black coffee, and red wine.

Coffee > Mio, but Mio is still good to me.

For me, Wellbutrin evens out the lows of adderall use and makes everything more consistent.

Plus it's good for energy. I hate substances that make you drowsy unless it's some nice indica and even then, that's more of a mellow feeling than being tired af.

I swear I'm over her, but I still get dreams about my old HS GF. It's been 7 years or so yet some deep seated part of my brain is excessively bitch made :'(

The dreams that haunt me most are about the ones where you know things could have worked out, but they didn't for whatever reason.

Just realized I was sitting on a potato chip. Went to the restroom and yes there is now a grease stain on the back of my pants. I had a few chips on lunch but I have no idea how one got on my chair.

between this, the belt fiasco a few weeks ago, and my mom running into me during a recent lunch break and telling me she bought me some shirts (as my coworkers held in smirks)...I'm pretty sure my coworkers must think I'm eight years old.

Once when I was working with people with mental disabilities I wore a shit with the buttons done one off all day. One of my co workers finally mentioned it at the end of the day. All the people with mental disabilities could do their buttons correctly. However sitting on a potato chip is far worse and i'm embarrassed for you.

Also while thinking about that girl and sitting on food, on the grade 7 field trip I sat on a smore right before the bus ride back. Thankfully I sat on both chocolate and marshmellow, since had it just been the former it could have been mistaken for me shitting myself. She tried to make fun of me for it but the marshmellow was my defense.

I also didn't try to eat the smore goop on my ass PD

Wellbutrin is doing its job smoothing out the highs and lows of addy use.

I woke up today early and can get out of bed, have a nice coffee, and not feel like total shit until I take my adderall.

Mental health issues are awful and I feel bad for the people who don't have access to the right meds and CBT, or don't have a support group and other resources.

I am very fortunate and will keep making strides getting my shit together. The pace isn't always what I want it to be, but these small changes will build up over time.

Anyone really struggling, keep being persistent and educate yourself on your treatment. Advocate for yourself when speaking to your doctor.

I've been at it for years and I know it's frustrating as fuck, but the next med(s) you try may be just what you needed.

Same goes for therapists and doctors. If it's not working, find someone else. Someone you're comfortable with that is best suited for you.

For me, that's a sexy older woman who nurtures the soul with CBT worksheets and engaging conversation
