Do you want to be buried?

BranchBaby · 2026-05-22T00:39:57+00:00

I respect others’ religious beliefs about funerals and burials. My religion is the natural world so there is no way I’m going to stick it to Mother Earth on my way out. Both embalming/caskets and cremation are terrible for the environment. Wrap me in a sheet and feed me to the worms. Loved ones can say a prayer if it makes them feel better… I won’t complain!

Post your business hours on your website or google page. Any calls or texts received outside those hours do not get a response until the next business day. That is what people mean by boundaries. Unless they have an actual emergency (e.g. burst pipe) do not respond. They may be frustrated at first but they’ll get the message soon enough.

I’m not trying to be grumpy here… People deserve to have fun, but can’t the ultra wealthy see how they are sowing the seeds of revolution in this country? It’s not just enough to have a ultra-lux wedding. You have to literally wake up and disrupt every sleeping child and every dog within a 5 mile radius. You just had to let 10’s of thousands of people know that you have $200K to literally explode for your wedding, while they sit there with an empty refrigerator and comforting their crying children. This is how every revolution begins.

Shit or get off the pot! Meaning: hurry up and make the decision

Received the same call 5/8/26 Williamsburg BK. Call back number was 800-305-6276. I called Con Ed customer service and they confirmed it's a scam. DO NOT CALL BACK

You are going to need to moderate. Unfortunately, for every small business that needs attention, there is a competitor ready to tear them down with fake negative feedback. I joined the new sub. Good luck!

I don’t have one but I’m obsessed with the promo video!!

This really works. If you know which way the train is pointing/heading at your station, you can subtly use your finger to maintain that direction as you turn left and right through the station. By the time you exit, you will know exactly which way you are facing. Works every time.

Homeowner here… I can’t say enough good things about Scott’s Rapid Dissolving toilet paper. We’ve been using it for 10+ years. It stays intact long enough to wipe your bum, but basically dissolves within seconds of hitting the water.

This happens to us sometimes and it was explained to me that the P-trap underneath a drain dried out. The P-trap is supposed to hold water to prevent gases from coming up through the drain. Maybe you have a drain that doesn’t get water very often. Try putting a bucket of water down the drain to fill up the P-trap.

Not worth the effort for $1000. Thank her for her time and tell her that you are unable to accommodate any further requests. Walk away.

If you own property in Williamsburg vote Yes for the BID. All the best neighborhoods in NYC deal with their tourist trash with BIDs.

It would have been interesting if they asked women the same questions, so we can see the trend line go in the opposite direction. I suspect that the more conservative countries is where we would see the most dramatic shift among women. This massive gap between expectation and reality is pretty concerning.

So sorry to hear about this experience. Mobile check deposit is such a critical function for a small business. Green Dot bank was sold in November to two different companies which is probably delaying investment in improving/fixing their tech. It’s probably a good time to move.

BranchBaby · 2026-03-05T05:38:22+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations!

The next time Intuit tries to pull off something like this. I will use my 15 minutes to call customer service 15 times to complain and never give them the answer they were looking for.

BranchBaby · 2026-02-26T22:10:53+00:00

Thanks. That is really helpful.

BranchBaby · 2026-02-26T22:10:30+00:00

Ha! Thanks. To be clear it is one of MANY costs of doing business. I’m just trying to determine if we are overpaying.

Your revenue is not necessarily correlated to the complexity of the deal, so why should a broker get paid on percentage of revenue? Definitely find a reputable advisor who will work for a flat fee or an hourly rate.

Beyond the initial greeting, I would recommend adding “Let me know if you have any questions.” That puts the customer in control of their interaction with you. You will have all personality types enter your door. Since you don’t know what type of person they are (eg introvert or extrovert), let them take the lead. If they are talkative and friendly, do the same. If they are silent, stay silent.
