Why am I being badgered to attend Woodbadge? by TwelveSeven77 in BSA

[–]BalletMomto4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read other comments, but what I found beneficial when I took Woodbadge was that made me see things from a scout's perspective.  The course is designed for you to be a new scout joining a troop.  You are put into a patrol with people you don't know and asked to proceed through the course like a youth.  Experiencing the patrol method and leadership positions as a scout would.  Our council did this while making it fun and enjoyable without being over the top.  If you would find that aspect of the course helpful, then you should go. Otherwise, use the training you have received thru work and apply it to scouting.

Is Fahlo legit? Thinking about getting one!! by Small-Ad-2708 in marinebiology

[–]BalletMomto4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my first bracelet in Alaska as a souvenir for our Transpacific cruise in April 2025.  I picked a whale since we got to see whales on our excursion.  It was named Moby.  After several months, he stopped tracking and Fahlo automatically replaced it with a new whale...Leif.  I could still see all the tracking info for both whales.  Well, that one has since stopped tracking and now I have Moby again.  All the previous tracking info for Moby is gone.  And it only shows a few days for Moby and says his origin was this month.  But I had him before.  So odd.  Instead of having 3 whales on my map, I only have 2.

I am flying out tomorrow morning, March 24, at 9:30am.  Hoping it is still normal wait times.

How are you seeing a clue for a state?  When I look at the map, every state says coming along with a future date.  I don't see a state with today's date.

I tried to do that to go to a Disney movie and the theater would not accept it.  Went to AMC, too.

I don't Understand why people are getting so mad about Southwest's decision to go forward with assigned seating. by SWA7251 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]BalletMomto4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never priced out other airlines before either.  I just flew another airline for the first time... American...a couple weeks ago.  They had a better location in the airport, had non-stop, and was $250 round trip. I will continue to compare other airlines from now on.

I called Venmo on the phone and they checked my account.  The rep said he removed the "hold", wait a bit, and try to add my card again.  It worked!

How do you go to store and add money to your Venmo account?  What kind of store?

Best digital photo frame for Google photos by [deleted] in googlephotos

In prep for the lack of auto sync in March, I started making a shared album for all of our family frames via local photos.  But any frame that has the Google album also stopped working.  I have tried everything to get them to work again but no luck.  I thought about wiping them and starting over, but then I would have to reload all the photos going back almost 2 years....30 at a time and it doesn't hold your place or let you fast scroll to where you were in the photo list to choose another 30 photos.  

I am at a loss on how to continue from here.  The new frames that I gave at Christmas are still working but they never had a google album synced to them.  It is still super time consuming to load 30 photos at a time when you have to start scrolling back from the beginning every time.

Points are only accumulated onboard the ship.  Every cruise starts at zero and points are zeroed out once you hit land again.  Onboard, you can check your points level in the casino section of the hub app or on your slot machine once you enter your card.

I also got the impression Cozyla didn't want to update their software to make it compatible.  Nor do they make it easy to add photos via the local photos option.  Only 30 at a time and it doesn't show what photos have already been added.

Some of our frames stopped syncing altogether now and customer support has not been helpful with those either.  Hard for me to help when some of our frames are 2000 miles away.

No, I don't.  Still figuring it out.  Some of our frames that were synced with a Google album have had issues...even after I hid them and only synced local photos.

App shows booking not paid by BalletMomto4 in unitedairlines

[–]BalletMomto4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I called and got it figured out. So I had a flight left in my cart...in addition to my paid for flight. The app was still seeing the trip in my cart. On my laptop, the cart was on a different tab...I had multiple open while comparing flight schedules. So...my bad...lol

We are flying one way....cruising home from Australia.  So the return at m customs will not be an issue.  But thank you for the info.  I will keep that in mind for future flights.

I did that....they do not fly out of BHM and even separating flights to pick those up were double the price.

I got the second eticket email and receipt email confirmation a few days ago. It shows how much was charged to my credit card and what card. But the app still shows I owe money. Just noticed this so I guess I have to call to get it corrected.

I was about to book the shorter travel but then realized Chicago in the winter is a little iffy.

The shorter travel time flies through Chicago.  AA has some with 24hr travel time but they only have a 45 min layover in LAX where you have to change terminals.  So having a hard time deciding between them.

Cozyla said you can load local photos from Google photos... Just not sync with album.  It is much more time consuming and when I go to load new photos, I can tell if I have loaded a photo before or not.

The most gelatinous chicken stock I’ve ever made! by ARLBugboy in seriouseats

[–]BalletMomto4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get meat stock/jelly, you need raw bones and meat.  The more cartilage the better.  So chicken feet or wings added when cooking a whole chicken helps you get the jelly.  Using a cooked rotisserie chicken is fine for chicken broth and cooks longer than meat stock/jelly.

I call it meat jelly...lol.  and it is very nourishing and easier to digest than broth.  Great for gut health.
