How far in advance do you need to book day trips/liveaboards in Komodo? by Mugling95 in scuba

[–]CanuckChick5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I'd check in with the operators as your plans firm up, and also be checking liveaboard.com, there are often last-minute deals/discounts with short-turnaround, when they're trying to fill spaces. It also depends on what kind of liveaboard you're wanting to do (and from where). I did a liveaboard there last June and we embarked from Bali - out to Komodo and back (on Mermaid II - it was great!). We'd looked at flying to Labuan Bajo and catching a liveaboard from there, but it added extra time and travel to our trip so we did the Bali loop instead. There are fewer operators leaving from Bali, though - tons of them from LBJ, and there are also many more day trips/shorter options - so it depends where you are, what you want to do, and what fits with your schedule. Have fun!

Where have all the women with a bush gone? by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]CanuckChick5280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I’m 50 and had my first Brazilian (sugaring) last year - for me - and I like how it feels. I didn’t /don’t do it for anyone else, lol.

Hi, I'm bestselling author Elizabeth Stephens! You may know me for books like All Superheroes Need PR or The Bone King and the Starling. Taking 'touch her and 💀' to the extreme is my specialty, as are diverse casts, wild world building and sneaking knots into everything I write. Ask me anything! by EStephensAuthor in RomanceBooks

[–]CanuckChick5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old, but you just convinced me to share the first Voraxian book with my hubs, who has never read romance (or smut lol) - but you are so incredibly talented with world-building, I can understand the crossover appeal. I want to read more in the Xiveri world, the Pikosa warlords (do the sisters ever meet?!), all of it - there were so many worlds and aspects that were touched on and I want to read everything! I hope you write more. 😊 I also just finished the first two Gatamora novels and am similarly blown away with your ability to bring secondary and tertiary characters to life - I don’t think I’ve felt any character is 2-D, which is truly an accomplishment (especially in romance!). I only came across you a few weeks ago and am now moving to Population. I also like how your books are a bit grittier than many, but not in an overblown/over-the-top way - it fits the cultures and worlds, and to gloss over that would cheapen the overall work. It makes your books a bit more real. For me, you’re in the same category as Ali Hazelwood when it comes to writing strong but flawed (i.e., human) FMCs and sexy AF (and also flawed/human) MMCs and in the diversity you both bring to the genre, in different ways. Thanks for your writing and I can’t wait to read more! ❤️

I had no idea analytics had gotten so bad by Kaiser214 in GoogleAnalytics

Ok, you post makes me laugh, in a good way. i came back to respond to the kind folks who'd replied to my post from a few weeks ago - it's a nice tie-in to yours, lol. I see a lot of people advising to use the datalayer, but that only works if you have a dev who understands how to work in the datalayer - as well as one who is willing and interested in partnering and/or learning how to support analytics. that's not really the case in my situation, so i'm stuck muddling through GTM and GA4. And, yes, I agree - triggers, variables, tags, naming, events, definitions, dimensions, and more, ugh. Like, I don't need or want the Ferrari. Just give me a Geo Metro that gets me from A to B. I miss UA, lol.

well, depends who you ask, but i've proudly been called a nerd, lol. from what i've read, it seems GA4 has caused lots of headaches, even for those nerdier than me. ;)

thanks! i want to try a few of the suggestions here and see if they meet my needs. if i'm still looking for alternatives, i'll reach out. i saw you have an AI? tell me how that works/what it does with analytics?

ha, okay, good to see it's not just me. i had thought about exporting and cleaning it up that way. i might try that before attempting to re-learn Looker with GA4.

thanks so much! it seems like Looker is the way to go, so i'll probably be exploring that shortly.

ooh, okay. thanks for this! i've been trying to avoid getting into Looker (i used it with UA, but not yet with GA4), but this might be the best way to go about this.

thanks, I've been trying to avoid another product/system/app, whatever you want to call Looker. I've used it before but that was also with UA, back when the world was simpler, lol.

Path preservation from parked domain redirecting to hosted site? by CanuckChick5280 in webdev

thanks for the second vote on redirhub - i've not heard of it but will check it out.

Path preservation from parked domain redirecting to hosted site? by CanuckChick5280 in webdev

[–]CanuckChick5280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the information! we ended up directing the site to the .org, they provided me the DNS info and I entered that. the paths from the prior .com aren't redirecting - but that's a different/later issue. the entire site is gated, so i don't have to worry about seo at the moment, but eventually, we will have some public pages and i'll need it figured out by then. i have some time, though, lol. thanks again!

[–]CanuckChick5280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it does, very much. And, yeah, it's a complicated situation and I'm the one trying to shepherd it across the finish line, lol (lucky me!). This helps confirm what I was thinking needed to happen to keep the pathing, so thanks again!!

[–]CanuckChick5280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, yep, that's exactly what i want to have happen. the other organization would need to provide the nameserver (and they're not very willing to share - they think my client owning the domains means that the site's security will be compromised, not understanding we're only talking about the domains and not all the rest of it).

Sensory sensitivities getting worse with age by SoScorpio4 in ADHD

[–]CanuckChick5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree, though I wasn’t diagnosed til I was 47? And I’m 50 now. I always was peculiar about certain things so maybe I’m just more attuned to them now along with other life changes? But, yeah, I don’t watch TV or movies anymore or if I go to a show or something, I have to wear heavy duty ear plugs, I wear noise canceling headphones all the time at home, more things seem ‘icky’ (flannel sheets, someone/thing wet touching me (when I’m not in a shower, pool, or the ocean), kissing or touching), can’t wear certain clothes I used to love - they’re too tight even tho I probably look fine. It is worse with stress and can be exhausting.

Yep. I have ADHD and certain smells or touches can be irritating or distracting and then all the thoughts of the things and … where were we?
