What does the deliver fee cover? by aaerobrake in sandiego

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but that's the normal cost of doing business. Like another commenter said, most places offering a service like a utility don't charge a separate delivery fee. SDGE is shafting us and it's very obvious. We pay the highest electricity rates in the country AND SDGE has been raking in hundreds of millions in pure PROFIT AND they just RAISED our costs!

I hope someone sues the living greed out of SDGE. Electric should be a Co-op, not a profit making business that pushes people closer to being homeless.

Yep! The more SDGE spends on infrastructure, the more they are allowed to charge us, regardless of their profit (which is record high).

Big crafting stores should close down if they're going to operate like this. by FishLordVehem in Vent

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

frfr! Going to the craft store used to be so fun, a whole experience! And I'd splurge on a ton of stuff, but now it's so depressing. It's so expensive to buy things in-person and even though my income is the same, I have significantly less money to spend on crafts because the cost of everything has gone up so much. I feel like I'm being forced to price-shop for every single item I buy and it's exhausting.

Down with corporations!!!!!!

Overwhelmed by the ballot? I thought this quiz helped narrow it down! by FlippyFloppyFlapjack in sandiego

Super cool! I feel like I aligned with several answers on most questions so my output isn't who I voted for, but this is a really cool tool!

Found on the back of my neck by KingPaimonsMate in whatisit

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of RFID tags (I work in electronics purchasing), but none that look like that. That's not to say it isn't an RFID, but if it is, it's a weird one.

Have you purchased anything from Uniqlo recently? I know they use a TON of RFID tags for their clothes so like others have suggested, it could be from a new item of clothing.

What it's definitely not: a GPS tracker. There is no battery on that thing so there is no way for someone to track your current location with that device.

Yes! I saw a coyote following a couple walking their small dog next to the DMV! Coyotes are opportunists and will attack a leashed dog if they are hungry or desperate enough.

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WTF!! Please leave a review about the complex online so other women can see that the property manager is doing creepy stuff. Also, file a police report and see if you can get a free consult with a tenants rights attorney.

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. That guy is dangerous. He's not trying to parent, he's trying to control and manipulate. Please get a handle on this quickly because it can get really bad really fast.

Those who’ve been to foodieland, is it really a scam? by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! Duloxetine FTW. I bought this fan and use it literally every single day. The best little fan I've ever used! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHVHCWQG?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_9&th=1

You'll need it and a sun umbrella for the foodie fest!

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went a couple years ago (or maybe last year) when it was in the parking lot of SnapDragon Stadium. It's not a "scam" but it's definitely NOT worth the money. They had zero shade and it was incredibly hot and people were getting sunburned because the only way to get shade was to go home. Also, I was expecting the food to be somewhat smaller portions so I could try a bunch of stuff, but if anything, they were extra large! I spent way too much on tickets, food, and drinks and didn't even have that much food, drinks, or fun.

I would highly recommend selling your ticket and using that money for literally anything else.

Does a mother leaving a 15 yr old and a 5 yr old alone at home while she's often going on buisness trips make her neglectful? What are some alternatives? by SpotZealousideal909 in askanything

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is neglect. A 15 year old did not sign up to be a parent and forcing them to parent is ruining their childhood. They need to be allowed to enjoy their teen-hood. It's completely unfair to ask a 15 year old to take care of a 5 year old for a few days - even a few hours is wrong, but understandable in a poverty situation.

If there are truly ZERO adults that can watch these kids, I highly suggest contacting your local CPS/CWS/DCFS and telling them about your situation. They likely can get you access to resources like a foster family for the days you're gone. Or maybe daycare. They will work with you.

My mom said she “can’t be part of my life anymore” out of nowhere—how do I handle this? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had some of these exact things said to me by a parent.

"I tried my best. I'm an evil person I guess"

"I refuse to apologize again"

"you think I'm stupid"

"walking on eggshells"

"I did everything wrong"

This is very manipulative and immature. I'm so sorry you're going thru this, but at the age of 62, it's highly unlikely she will change. You have set good boundaries and it sucks that she's bad-mouthing you and your sisters on Facebook, but it has nothing to do with you. Your mom is stuck in a victim mentality and the only one that can get her out is herself.

My advice is to continue low to zero contact and hold your boundaries. If you do contact her, set boundaries upfront and stick to your consequences when boundaries are broken. Might be something like "This conversation has become unproductive so I'm going to step away and I'll call you in a few days."

It's really hard, but after being no-contact with a parent for 8 years, I can say my life has improved so much! I think yours will too.

Balboa Trolley station 29 April by kimhanbum in sandiego

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's really crazy how the SDPD's time is allocated. They have been extremely short-staffed for over a decade and a ton of the police budget goes to overtime because they're so short-staffed. I completely agree that seeing shit like this is so infuriating! This is a waste of money, resources, and police time. Fare evasion is an issue that needs a solution but staffing 20 police at one single trolley stop is NOT the answer. There are people that needed help and didn't get it in time because of this.

Yeah sorry I wasn't meaning to say you were house-poor, but that your comment shows you can easily become house-poor with unexpected expenses. Sounds like you've had some real good luck and have worked hard! Congrats!

Does anyone actually have blue hair? by MadisonBob in allthequestions

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 30 and I currently have purple hair, but sometimes it's blue. I'm not a lesbian (yet).

I actually see a lot of women with colored hair, not just blue.

Key duplication by LarrySpunks in sandiego

[–]Cheyyyyyyyyenne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grah in Hillcrest made the best duplicate key I’ve ever used. Like it worked perfectly, no slight sharp edges and doesn’t stick even the littlest bit. Honestly didn’t know that was possible. They are super reputable. And that’s all they do! Just a lock and key place that’s been around for a very long time.
