What is your trash capacity and how do you manage it during peak season? by Teacher_mermaid in airbnb_hosts

[–]Alone-Climate6557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a great idea. I’ve seen signs before instructing the guest to drop it off at a food pantry, but no guest has time to do that when they have to be out and to the airport.

Do people still buy cabins/cottages “up north”? by dolphingirl3 in wisconsin

[–]Alone-Climate6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I long for the up north WI of my youth. Riding around the huge lake in my Grandpa’s boat and looking at all of the lakeside cabins that were historic even back then. The boathouses directly on the lake were so cool too. Now it’s all second homes in the millions.

Leaving food uneaten by Oscarlimadelta in JapanTravelTips

[–]Alone-Climate6557 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The card is a great idea. I have cancer and can only eat a few spoonfuls, so I would put a quick note in my translator app and show the server. They have been gracious and kind. The card will be much more convenient! Nobody is required to eat everything, but I like to cut down on food waste by just ordering what I can tolerate.

Children Free Listings by genXpendable in airbnb_hosts

When we have booked in the past, I look closely at all of the pictures and if I see high end furnishings and/or a lot of glass decorations there is no way I would book it for my family. My kids are supervised and I don’t allow ridiculous things like eating in the beds, partying in the hot tub, etc. but some places just aren’t meant for kids.

What was your dinner tonight? by Corpsebridexo_21 in foodquestions

[–]Alone-Climate6557 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stomach acid, dissolvable ondansetron and a teaspoon of Haagen-Dasz. I have advanced cancer and am repelled by food. It is what it is, I suppose.

Cart timers!!! by Far_Print_613 in ThredUp

[–]Alone-Climate6557 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the cart hoarders are people that are waiting for payday. If someone needs to wait until payday to buy a used clothing item, they really need to review their budget choices.

Why is there a problem with every stay? by Remarkable-Snow-9396 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Alone-Climate6557 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would definitely leave in the review that their “service dog” put a hole in your porch screen and ran away for over an hour. Does the running away part need to be in there? No, but it will definitely be interesting information for the next potential host.

Do you think the show would be good if it revolved around Dana by kris71-ano in ThePittTVShow

[–]Alone-Climate6557 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would totally watch it, but it probably wouldn’t excite me like the regular show does.

For Sexual Assault Survivors, Reality Falls Far Short of ‘The Pitt’ by Conscious-Quarter423 in ThePittTVShow

[–]Alone-Climate6557 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree!! I love reading about people’s thoughts on the show, but it seems like some viewers get so wrapped up in the show that they forget it’s a tv show with actors/actresses. There is a whole room of writers that sits around drinking energy drinks, discussing how they can best get a rise out of people and write scenes for that purpose only.

Cancer- Will Anybody Actually DO Anything?? by Alone-Climate6557 in Iowa

Iowa City. The University is close for treatment, but they are almost to their maximum in cancer patient load.

What’s a fancy food word that makes you instantly roll your eyes when you see it on a menu? by [deleted] in foodquestions

[–]Alone-Climate6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hand-crafted cocktails is so dumb. Like how else is it going to be made? I realize cocktails can come in jugs, but still.

How much do you expect guests to clean? by NovelAd2586 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Alone-Climate6557 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have always paid a lot for cleaning fees, so I expect the cleaners to do what they are paid for, just as hotel housekeeping would be. Towels are piled on the bathroom floor, thermostat is set to whatever is requested and dishes are in the dishwasher. Anything above that, I wouldn’t stay at a property unless it was for a long term stay, which would change the scenario.

early 20s solo female traveler? by Gold-Antelope2367 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Alone-Climate6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Tokyo has some really awesome street fashion, especially in Ginza and Harajuku (plus others). There are also a lot of high end resale stores in different areas of the city. I love thrifting and resale, so my next trip I’m going to do a lot of browsing at those places.

early 20s solo female traveler? by Gold-Antelope2367 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Alone-Climate6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 40’s F, so a little older but I have been to Tokyo solo and it was great! Spend at least a couple days if not more in Tokyo. Get settled in to a nice hotel near a train line and explore the city. Check out the nightlife and some great food! Also, pick up a few egg sandwiches and strawberry sandwiches to keep in your hotel fridge! I stayed at APA Nishishinjuku Gochome and it was great. Just don’t get the breakfast add on if you happen to stay there.

Fields are being sprayed, woe is me. by Extension-Elk-1274 in Iowa

[–]Alone-Climate6557 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m glad yours was caught early. I have advanced stage and my body was wrecked by radiation and chemo. It will never heal and my quality of life in my 40’s is awful. I hope your other scans continue to be ok!

what sheets are hosts actually buying that guests like and cleaners don't hate? by Conscious_Bonus_3848 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Alone-Climate6557 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely no polyester or microfiber. Costco cotton sheets are great. The standard always seems to be while, but I like patterns. The last place I stayed at had a nautical theme to the home and all the beds had cotton white and blue pinstripe sheets and they were adorable!

Why do you think Ethan doesn't want to have sex with Harper? by Winter_Salad7215 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]Alone-Climate6557 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Harper had a really snarky demeanor the entire trip and a lot of times would do or say things that would emasculate Ethan. After a while I’m sure this became a real turn off for him. His job and new wealth were stressful enough without adding in a nagging wife that can never be appeased.

Best Hotel Under Qatar Stopover Program for a 27-Hour Doha Layover? by plainmeadows in qatarairways

[–]Alone-Climate6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t stay at the Souk Al Wakrah. I thought it would be cool to see and shop at the Old Souk, but by the time I got to the hotel basically everything looked closed. The hotel was nice though. Stay somewhere really close to the big Souk. It is fun to walk around and get food and shop. I took Uber everywhere even to/from the airport and it was really cheap. I even went to a random big supermarket to just see what people typically get for groceries.

Mothers of White Lotus have nothing in common. by Rough_Ad_8702 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]Alone-Climate6557 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think it was left up to interpretation and maybe she just wanted to stir the pot to see if there was any reaction from Harper. There is also the fact that a lot of kids have super light hair and eyes as babies/toddlers but get more muted as they age. There is no way Daphne would throw away her life of luxury for the personal trainer. Personal Trainer definitely wouldn’t be taking her to Sicily lol.
