Enough is ENOUGH
Pest control comes yesterday and were supposed to do a heat treatment and instead do some chemical spray BS and guess what? Today I noticed another bite mark on my foot so thats 3 bites in one week and now I dont know if it was from last night and if the spray actually worked or not or if it was from the night before where i got bit the 2nd time and ended up smashing the bug on the floor that leaked blood everywhere. Now because I dont know if it was from last night and if the spray worked I now have to live in constant anxiety from here on out until I get bit again and until i can move out from this hell hole. Not to mention, the pest control people literally come in and spray my bed and leave it soaked from the side downm I couldn't believe my eyes. God knows what the hell I'm even inhaling at this point in this contaminated room and god help this carpet I even walk on because just yesterday I killed a massive cockroach on it.
God help my blood supply. How the hell have I even made money the past 2 years playing blackjack with all this adversity and getting cheated every weekend and holiday weekend in this mob ridden mafia rigged japanese chinatown piece of ____. Just goes to show how great I really am. The amount of patience and discipline ive showed these past 2 years to still not give up in these conditions is something of a fairy tale. Theres literally nothing i wont be able to achieve after this debacle.
P.S. you dont understand how hard it was to prevent myself from using profanity in this post.

Perfect. Just perfect, ZK.
I've been told a couple of scorpions under the duvet tends to lower the amount of bed bug bites, as does sleeping in a wet suit.
Perhaps you might consider spending more than $15 a day on your residence.
Quote: ZenKinGJust goes to show how great I really am.
I agree. Of all the things about you, going a couple of years with bedbugs is definitely what shows your true greatness.

Sooner or later every conversation comes
down to bedbugs..
Clearly, the only explanation is the ZK curse.

Not necessarily.
Maybe the bugs are just drawn to his awesomeness.
Quote: DRichWhat is interesting is that I have lived in Las Vegas for 29 years and I haven't seen nor been bitten by a bed bug.

That's because you're not the greatest at what you do. If you were you'd stay in short term rentals and enjoy the benefits.

That was much more the cliche
50 years ago than today. And
even moreso 100 years ago.
Hmmm.Quote: ZenKinGOr you could work for a droned out employer slaving your life to an alarm clock and boss each day you wake up. Yikes.
Owning an alarm clock ( - ). Boo.
Waking up without other species between my sheets ( + ). Yay.

Speaking of bedbugs and sheets. Men have
been right all along it seems, in not being
good at making our beds.
It turns out that when you get up, your
sheets are damp from you sleeping in
them all night. The dampness holds
bacteria. If you make the bed right
away, the dampness doesn't evaporate
and the bacteria grow and grow.
If you leave the bed unmade for a
few hours, or never make it, the
bacteria die. I haven't made my
bed in 40 years.
I told this to my wife who makes
her bed immediately on arising.
She said she'd rather have the
bacteria than an unmade bed.

I know. It's tough making a lot of money working 4 days a week watching people like you melt down, with the company matching 5% for 401k, having 200 hours of paid time off, having medical, dental and vision insurance, a house with no bedbugs, a new car that doesn't break down and no debt except for house payment.
It's a rough life I tell ya.

But whatever. From what I can see the way that you live your life in order to claim freedom isnt making your quality of life and happiness better than anyone who is a slave to an alarm clock, especially if they like what they do.

The last survey I heard at the end
of last year, the majority of people
in the US are happy with their jobs,
way up from just 2 years ago.
I did get bitten all over by something at a hotel one time and it was absolutely terrible.
If I ever got bedbugs at my house I think I would have to burn everything.
I hear it's extremely hard to get rid of them once they infest your place.
I just don't know how anyone could sleep in a place with bedbugs. That would drive me crazy.
Quote: AxelWolfI have never been bitten by bedbugs in any place I ever lived, and 'm not one to wash my sheets and blankets all the time. I'm not a bed maker either. And if course I always snack in bed. If I didn't live with someone it would almost never get done unless I knew someone was coming over. I would just get new bedding once in a while.

Bed bugs dont come as a result of being clean or dirty, that's only in relation to cockroaches. Bed bugs just come from travel and getting into your suitcase and following you to a new place where they then lay eggs and cause infestations etc.
And yes they are extremely hard to get rid of. A good heat treatment usually does the trick and kills the eggs but for an apartment complex all it takes is one unit with bed bugs that will always infect neighboring units that were treated and are an endless cycle of hell. I dont even know what to say or do anymore. No apartments will lease to me unless i pay everything upfront which im not doing and i dont want to live with roomates so im stuck being left in these sh**holes.
So depressing.

Everything you stated is monetary based. Life is so much more than that. Youll realize that when you're 70 and the illusion of retirement they sold you your whole life is all bull****. Retirement and true wealth is a state of mind and how you live your life and not about the digits in your bank account. All you have at that age sitting in your rocking chair or at the beach is the moments and memories you created and are proud of achieving throughout your life. Doing something different than everyone else. Having something unique about your life. Etc etc.

Do you at least change the sheets?
Quote: cmlotitoDo you at least change the sheets?
They can't change themselves, and
I don't have a house keeper. If I
don't change them, who will.
In fact I just got a set of high
count bedbug free sheets last
week. Very nice.. 1500 thread
count from Overstock..

Become a drone for a month. Get a couple paychecks. Instant apartment. Or just make a paystub and have someone answer a phone for you. What is so hard about this?
Quote: WalterWIsn't a single house cheap to rent in vegas?
I would say Vegas rents are no longer cheap just like the buffets. You'd be hard pressed to find a decent 1BR apartment for less than 1000 month. Houses that are bare decent are in the 1400 range.
This is exactly what I did to get one of my first apartments before I started APing. At the time I had a Job but they wouldn't rent to me because I didnt make enough.Quote: MaxPenOr just make a paystub and have someone answer a phone for you. What is so hard about this?
I didnt want to mention it because It may be illegal, I have no clue if it is or not.
Oh come on Mr. conspiracy, You should know damn well a bunch of dirty rich people who had bedbugs paid off the department of heath to say that just to save them from embarrassment.Quote: ZenKinGBed bugs dont come as a result of being clean or dirty
Let me guess, you think clean kids get lice just like all the dirty kids.

Actually according to Google, lice don't care whether hair is dirty or clean, they just want to suck scalp blood(Like Scalp Vampires I guess)

Yes, you have mentioned this before in one of my past threads and its been on my mind, but I never decided to do it as im not sure what job to actually do and cant even suit up for an interview because I lost my only suits that i brought with me from NJ and dont feel like buying any again. Yes I 'lost' it because i left it in a previous apartment when I moved out. $300 worth, still pisses me off to this day.
Maybe ill become a pizza delivery driver for a couple of weeks or so, that doesn't need a formal interview.

You are going to need to show income at least 3x your rent so keep that in mind. I would just go the fake paystub route myself.
Interviewing at McDonalds, they probably just wanna make sure you’re at least wearing shoes.

I used to be in pest control, about 2000 we noticed bed bugs were coming back. About 5 years before the general population did. A few theories about why it was happening, but 2 main ones. Supply was coming from more overseas travel and more immigration bringing them in.
The other was that pest control itself changed. In the 1990s there was an end to "baseboard spraying" which was a standard. Quick spray on the perimeter of the room. People were getting afraid of chemicals and said there was no reason for it. The industry got away from it. In the end it was probably one of those things that was started for a good reason and everyone forgot why we were doing it, so practices changed.
Sorry to say, but we hated calls like yours about "bites" people were getting. Once a whole apartment had to be torn apart, new paint, new sealing of everything. The guy was still getting bitten. I would suggest you may need a new mattress set, and maybe leave the plastic on. Moving to more detached residence may be needed as you will never control what is living next door.
Just some thoughts.

Having just returned from my lovely vacation with my lovely fiance, I am thankful my monetary based life allowed me to enjoy a week on the beach eating abundantly, drinking like a fish, and.... I'll keep it PG.... And I got this by being a doctor helping people through what is often the worst day of their lives. My fiance happens to have a job that directly helps people too (dentist). And I'll be retiring at 59, not 70. I don't want to list the other achievements in my life, but I am googleable, if that is a word!
I guess I do regret wasting my life being a doctor and didn't do something valuable for society and others such as counting cards in smoke filled casinos trying to hide what I do from the people I 'work' with everyday, hoping they try to stop me so I can tie up the court system with my useless lawsuits.
And if anything I do in life requires me to have intimate relationships with bedbugs then I know I will have proved my worth.......
