The Westin in Buckhead has bedbugs. I have bites all over my body. No one will return my calls about this.

I talked to a buddy that works in hospitality about this. He said hotels are really scared to acknowledge bedbugs because it launches a whole big thing. Also, apparently people try to commit fraud all the time to claim bedbugs (or whatever) because they know it’s such a big deal.

That sucks though. Good luck

To prevent infesting your own home, you really have two options. Burn all the clothes exposed to that room as they can harbor eggs which last through washing machine. The other option is to bring it to a dry cleaner and tell them to use the highest possible heat to remove bedbugs from your clothes.

@D2, from what I understand, the amount of heat necessary to sanitize your boots, would destroy the leather. So we may as well just throw them out and replace them, than take a risk.

@A1, man I wish this was a hoax. I’ve been camping, I live in Texas, I’ve been bit by mosquitos, fleas, ants, and this is so much worse. Whatever these bugs bite you with, itches like I can’t even describe. I’m almost on Day 5, and I am still struggling with how bad it itches!

Update, fam!:

As you all likely predicted, the insurance guy is a weasel. In his initial request, he asked for screenshots of the value of my items, to calculate the amount required to replace them.

So I did that. I took pictures of every item, with respective pictures of the items’ cost to replace, I even created a spreadsheet for him (because of course I did 🙄).

Well NOW he is completely changing his story, threw out some random, arbitrary number, and said that “without receipts, we would have to apply some sort of depreciation.”
What??

A. Send me screenshots of the value of the items, to calculate the amount required to replace them.
B. Send me receipts of the items, to calculate their depreciated value over time.

Those are two completely different requests, with two completely different intentions.
I’m totally fine with providing receipts. I’m also understanding of depreciated value. What I don’t appreciate, is the misdirection.

Super odd update - the bites on my hand are making a comeback. The itchiness was so strong last night, that it woke me up from a dead sleep. What. The. Hell.

like

In these situations, I would gather as much evidence as possible. So PSA for future bed bug infestated travellers - in addition to pictures, I would take a video of the bug, the room, the room number and the hotel. That way they can no way say it was fake. And share the crap out of the video if they don't respond. I have done the video route before and received 50,000 SPG points and one night refunded (in points).

Uhhhh what the heck

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober?

Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend.

Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this.
