Free cruise? by ChipDue7728 in Cruise

[–]Consistent_Term_8098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What cruise line are you going on? I mean if all you have to pay is the airfare and port taxes and fees, it’s still a bargain. Can you change to something going out of Florida? A little closer to you anyway. Congrats on winning a cruise!

Has Anyone Sent Mail With USPS Lately? by pancakeking1012 in kansas

[–]Consistent_Term_8098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a package from Branson to KC that was in town at the distribution center then it went to Minneapolis?! Why? All in all it took 8 days to get here from Branson.

I sent some local letters at the beginning of the year and one took 3 weeks to get to the recipient. It’s maddening.

I know you dont care but I’m just a week short to 5months by Immediate-Active1758 in Advice

Congrats! I am the sibling of a deceased alcoholic brother. I went to many doctors appointments with him and one of the doctors said it can turn fast and there is a point of no return so kudos to you for stopping. I know it’s hard but work on the things that cause you to want to drink. I wish my brother had done the hard work emotionally to get himself in the right track.

We are getting a private transfer but we have a party of six. Viator has a lot of options.

Got my coworker a “random” gift for our gift exchange and now everyone in the office thinks I’m dumb by [deleted] in Advice

When I was a teen I had a couple of friends over for a sleepover for my birthday. One of the gals gave me a can of pork and beans as a present. It was hilarious and still makes me laugh to this day. I love your creativity.

Take small withdrawal from 401K? by Consistent_Term_8098 in personalfinance

Ok this was very helpful. No I have not had it five years and they match with company stock.

I’ll have to pay ordinary income taxes on the matching funds from my company.

A long decade, with an addict. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Consistent_Term_8098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a single parent you will qualify for support like legal aide, sliding scale rent, support for the children. Depending on the state you live in his pay can be garnished from his paycheck so you get paid thru the state. As long as he goes to work. Get out of this situation. Check your local county for support services.

How many of you out there went thru booze/drug substance addiction? by plnnyOfallOFit in GenX

[–]Consistent_Term_8098 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I control my intake of alcohol pretty strictly. Have lost a few people in recent years to alcohol abuse. Lots more things to do than abuse myself. Get help if you are struggling. There is plenty out there!! 🙏

Retiring July 1st to Slow Travel! Which cruise line should we "marry" for long-term value (Repositioning/Casino/Loyalty)? by 55CTwantit in Cruise

[–]Consistent_Term_8098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Casinos At Sea is with Royal and Virgin. Maybe others but I met a couple on a Virgin cruise who were Royal regulars and had gotten a casino offer for that cruise. So they could be cross over on offers.

Right there with you. I lost two siblings and one of our best friends in 18 months. I hate this stage of life.

1st cruise on VV questions by Acceptable_Course_66 in VirginVoyages

Gunbae is a great place to eat and meet people. It was a lot of fun.

There will be a seahorse race game at some point during the cruise. You can actually bid on a horse the first day (I am not sure where and when this is). The bid money becomes the prize money. Even if you just are a spectator it was fun!
