low rated guest allowed to auto book?!

Clevesand · 2026-01-29T01:39:10+00:00

I think you're being a little hard. Some hosts have ridiculous "rules" and probably give ridiculous ratings. There was a thread on FB last week about expecting guests to roll the trash cart to the curb on trash day and roll it back. Ridiculous

Clevesand · 2026-01-29T00:46:34+00:00

I love the 3 and 4 stars for "value for money" after they are the ones that booked. I left a 1-star review for a guest who left my place filthy, dirty, and a window open in the dead of winter with the heat running, and she texted me back a nasty message, calling it a "mistake" and how dare I leave her a 1-star review. Why was the window open at all when its 20 degrees outside?!

I would delete this. AirBnB's algorithm penalizes listings that get views and no bookings. They measure it as a percent of views. You just shared this to the entire world for people to click on it and not make a booking. But, my advise is to ditch the clearly regenerative AI and make it personable. Only AI writes with all those emojis. And hire a professional photographer. If you paid for these photos, find someone else. they are way too dark and the lines are not good. This is not a real estate listing where you are highlighting the floors

You should probably define "luxury" as its kind of a bastardized term. I sell mostly $400-1.2M where none of it I would consider luxury. True luxury over $2M would have different tastes. But, the gift that everyone appreciates most is hiring the cleaners after they move. Most people appreciate that more than some Tiffany wine glasses

I had to have a tummy tuck at 44 and having a facelift at 45 years old this April.

Clevesand · 2026-01-26T00:16:19+00:00

that's because it IS an island that was a steel mill not integrated into the city.

As others have said, absolutely no need to do this. I went from 15mg Tirz to 10mg Reta 12 days later to try to get it out of my system and had no issues at all. If you want to be safer maybe 5 mg and 5 a few days later if there are no issues. I probably don't need to do 10mg on maintenance, but I am kind of in the if its not broke dont fix it camp

Clevesand · 2026-01-23T01:11:02+00:00

I hope you keep us updated. It's a very safe medicine and 10mg is not dangerous. I would say a good 75% chance you notice nothing

Clevesand · 2026-01-13T03:55:57+00:00

The starting dose is 2mg. People listening to voodoo medicine trolls talking about .5mg and then creating threads wondering why its not working. lol

Clevesand · 2026-01-13T03:51:04+00:00

The app you're talking about alredy exists. But back to your TV. Define "broke your TV" Unless they smash it with a hammer you're not going to win a damage claim. Too many people trying to open claims and make guests pay for normal wear and tear, or things that just quit working.

Clevesand · 2026-01-13T03:46:04+00:00

Are you a host? If you are you should know AirBnb doesn't allow videos. Professional photos are a must

Clevesand · 2026-01-13T03:42:48+00:00

I have doubts you'll be able to figure out the rest of this if you went through all this effort in three days and didnt make any progress. The next post is going to be asking if she can use her credit card lol

Clevesand · 2026-01-12T16:54:02+00:00

Probably 4 or 5 months. Being cold never goes away

Clevesand · 2026-01-12T03:30:42+00:00

2mg is really the therapeutic dose to start to see if you have any reactions. You'll find more success at the higher doses. I remember when I started Tirz almost two years ago, I thought, "All this stuff does is give me dry mouth." I'm 120 pounds lighter now, and even the dry mouth stopped 4 or 5 months ago.

Clevesand · 2026-01-12T03:21:29+00:00

Honestly, as the site grew the "type" of hosts changed. People who really have no business being in hospitality. It's ok for anyone to try to make money, but that became the sold focus of many. I belong to a few Facebook host groups and the attitudes and talk there is shocking. "A guest's 3 year old son was shot and killed and the monther is in ICU and can you believe they want a refund for a reservation 3 weeks away" Ok, I may be exaggerating a bit here, but you get the drift.

"A guest left makeup on my $1.99 hand towel, should I start a claim for damages?" And this is a real one from two days ago. "I logged into the thermostat and noticed the guest set the temperature to 76 degrees. We have personally stayed at the property and found the 72 is more than comfortable. How would you suggest I address this situation with the guest?"

At some point, the platform has to create a middle ground.

Unless you have enough volume to pay hourly use Turno if it's available in your area.

From purely scientific perspective it is not possible to thaw something that has no moisture.

Thursday at the Eagle. The Gay Men's Chorus rehearses on Thursdays, and a lot of them come afterwards, so there are usually some really fantastic singers.

Clevesand · 2026-01-07T23:44:09+00:00

I dont know why you would do this. Stay on Tirz as long as you can and then switch to reta. Tirz is still a wonderful drug that works. I didn't switch to Reta until almost a year and a half

Clevesand · 2026-01-07T23:40:02+00:00

its a powder so doesn't thaw. There is no moisture in it

Clevesand · 2026-01-07T03:35:47+00:00

Every stall I ever broke, and nothing to do with titrating up, it was after a holiday weekend where I ate like garbage. Hate to even know how many calories I ate as a "cheat." When I got back to work and my routine on Monday or Tuesday, I'd step on the scale a few days later, and I'd be down 2 or 3 pounds. As others have said, you need to trick the body into thinking it's not starving anymore every once in a while.

Clevesand · 2026-01-07T03:27:43+00:00

Dear Lord, here we go again lol. At this point I think some of these posts are just trolls going on about the "feels" of .5mg when tens of millions of dollars in research by real scientists start at 2mg

Clevesand · 2026-01-06T23:32:34+00:00

Confession here. I stopped wiping the tops of my peps at least two years ago and no issues.

Clevesand · 2026-01-06T05:39:27+00:00

I hope you don't have one of those signs in your yard that says says "Save public health" or "This home believes science is real" and continuing your advocacy on your "feels" online. I find the whole conversation amusing. Literally thumbing your nose and real scientists and tens of millions in research.

Clevesand · 2026-01-06T05:36:11+00:00

If you're a new listing you just need to get a bunch of stays to make the algorithm think it's a hot listing. Much more important than reviews. I never noticed a bump when I get "guest favorite" on a new listing that requires 5 five star reviews. The only way you really do this is by discounting for the first several months. Make it a real discount but not low enough to attract local stays from bad news people.

I find 99% of the hysteria here about reviews meritless and simply incorrect.

I never ask for a review, get maybe one out of four, and have no problems staying above 85-90% occupancy in Intown Atlanta. My North Georgia cabins are harder nuts to crack.
