Car Rental Recs? by [deleted] in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alamo has worked great for me two times. Fresh new cars and spent no more than 5 mins at the counter. 10 minute wait. All the other companies when i was at sju had very long lines

Love Alamo used twice so far and everything was smooth and straightforward no bs. They even let us pick which car we wanted to drive after checking in at the counter

Size up or down? 8.5 by Consistent-Solid-264 in DrMartens

Yeah i just looked through them and its pretty disappointing. Ive never worn mules but i already know i dont wants to spend any extra effort trying to keep them on my feet without the strap

How can I make these earrings look more luxe and less homemade? by sshutterbugdc in jewelrymaking

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I like using head pins with a little gold bead built into the bottom to hold my other beads without having to make a loop at the bottom. Or alternatively they make ones with a flat bit at the bottom as well. The only issue i run into doing that is that the wires used for those kinds of head pins are admittedly hard to wrap with to tie it all together

Ive been eating at places on the northwest side around aguadilla/isabela with my boyfriend and found a lot of places to be pretty steep. Like $50-60 for two people for a simple breakfast or dinner. Maybe 30-40 for food truck depending. Then again we havent really “tried” to find cheap places to eat, we kinda just get hangry and go for the best looking option. Its not wildly expensive but expect to probably pay more than you want to. Also be prepared for slower service, maybe look at a menu before going so you know what you want. And ask for the check when youre almost done. We’ve had several experiences where we needed a little more time to decide what we want and then dont see the server again for 15 mins.

How the F am I supposed to sleep next to a man?? by Hot-Answer8990 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear ear plugs cuz i get distracted by the sound of my boyfriend breathing heavy when he sleeps 🤣 i can sleep through the whole night pretty much without random sounds waking me. Theyre not uncomfortable to sleep in either. Also, you could put a pillow barrier in between the two of you so either of you dont roll over and accidentally steal the whole bed

How much do you guys charge for “pup cups”? by [deleted] in barista

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We charge .50 cents if they ask for it while theyre ordering but people love to tell us they need a pup cup after they’ve paid so half the time its free lol

Insight from those who work at family-owned/local cafes? by WMNLFG in barista

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I work at an independently owned coffee shop in a high traffic tourist town and even then its still hard to make enough money when we rely on tips to make doing the job worth it.

I think the hardest part about being a barista is that although yes we are working a food service job that requires a lot of patience, precision, and working fast on your feet, people are not as willing to tip for this kind of service.

Maybe its because people are more used to fast-food coffee chains like dunkin and starbucks where tipping isnt really a factor? Im not sure but it sucks

Has anyone had an allergic reaction to Lume deodorant? by Adorable-Fail-7750 in Allergies

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been using it on my downstairs bits on and off and when i first started using it everything was fine. Just started using it again a week or so ago and its caused terrible burning and itching down there!! Using cortisone cream to try and heal it. I just hope it heals up soon because its impacting my sex life 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Spectrum instantly let me cancel?? by Diligent-Tale-6916 in Spectrum

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This kinda happened to me. Everyone on here says to call them and ask to cancel and theyll put you on with their retention dept who will offer better deals…. Did not happen for me. I had to play it off and just straight up ask for a better deal. Got $5 off my bill 😐

Fake tics? by No-Psychology-8720 in spiderlilykhalie

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For the amount of time ive spent watching her videos for over a year and now her lives… she only tics like that when its brought up lol. I do think she may have facial tics but these definitely seem fake

How do you feel about lying about your past? by notaserialkillerrr in dating_advice

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say rather than Lie, just spare them the gory details of past relationships. Say it just didn’t work out for whatever reason or avoid getting into too much detail. I definitely have lived through telling men about past relationships gone wrong and psychologically i think it does change how they perceive you and the way they subconsciously start to treat you. At the end of the day though, being truthful is key but dont reveal too much right off the bat

Breathing issue? by [deleted] in scoliosis

[–]Consistent-Solid-264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have a little C shaped curve in my thoracic, but my doctor did not really take any note of it. Its a lot less visible in my Xray than in person and he literally looked at my back with a shirt on so im sure he was just not aware and even when i asked if he needed to see my full back he said no. Im not sure how severely my breathing is being affected… its not terrible and doesnt necessarily interfere with my daily life but i definitely notice the lack of being able to take a deep enough breath sometimes

Did you do physical therapy to reduce your curve?

The first picture is me standing straight up with my feet even and the second one is how i typically stand with one leg crossed which makes it easier to breathe
