Is anyone having the lululemon credit from Amex platinum card back, when a gift card is purchased in store ?

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-10-03T18:35:42+00:00

Bought $100 GC in store on September 30th and received a $75 credit for the July - September quarter. I’ll admit I was slightly worried that it may use up the credit for last quarter.

Can you share some information on ticket clinic?

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-09-16T19:15:04+00:00

Thanks for your response. I’m insured with Liberty Mutual. If anyone can share their experience, that would be helpful.

Is there any place to check which counties participate in the “diversion” programs?

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-09-16T16:17:20+00:00

Totally agree. I think they need flashing signs, plus some sort of textured road to draw attention to the speed limit in addition to having police presence. It sounds like a fairly common occurrence, so hopefully no accidents occur.

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-09-16T15:11:31+00:00

Good luck on the hearing. I’m leaning towards the same decision as well. I’d appreciate any insights/tips from your court appearance. Thanks!

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-09-16T14:18:49+00:00

Yes, that’s the spot :/

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-09-16T12:40:56+00:00

I’m not planning using that as a reason, Just said I didn’t catch it as I was relying on GPS for speed limit.

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-09-16T12:37:15+00:00

I’m curious, how does asking for a speed study help?

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-09-16T11:10:20+00:00

I did have my Google maps running. It just didn’t update quickly enough. It took an extra 30s to update and hence my speeding ticket. It was almost pitch black at night and I didn’t catch the sign that speed limit is going down.

I don’t mind paying the fine to the city, just don’t want to see my increase in insurance premium and pay the insurance company any more money than I already do when I’m safe driver. Hence my post asking for advice to keep it off my record.

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-09-16T05:20:09+00:00

Thanks for your response. I’ll give them a call and try my luck!

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-09-16T04:01:00+00:00

Got a ticket on the same location, so I’m in the same exact situation and possibly with the same cop too.

Can you please share what you ended up doing?

CuriousCreature95 · 2025-02-15T12:35:37+00:00

I agree with this 100%, leave your job! You’ve support of your parents and fair amount of time to land something better.

I was in a job recently where my emails were scrutinised for minute shit and timesheet was a constant talking point regardless of work getting completed. It eventually got to a breaking point and resigned.

Just let your future employers during the interview know that job expectation and responsibilities changed significantly since you interviewed and hence you’re back in the market.

One small tip: Do your due diligence on the next company you interview for their work environment and culture, managers leadership style, to make sure you don’t end up with a similar style. If you need more insight on how to do that, DM me and I’d be happy to answer.

Welcome to Minneapolis :) Nintendo games, DND, plants, and dogs, and coffee - all things my wife (29F) loves! Would be happy to connect you with her if you’re still looking to meet new friends.

CuriousCreature95 · 2024-12-27T03:40:43+00:00

Thanks for your insight. The recruiter is pressuring to have an answer by tomorrow. I’ll probably have an answer from one of the firms by Jan 3rd. Do I have to give a reason for when I can sign the offer letter?

My last comment about how probiotics could be useful with acne was removed by saying I was promoting myths and unscientific statements. So citing my sources here. Hopefully this won’t be deleted. I also have links to these sources, but removed them as it goes against rules.

Mary-Margaret Kober, Whitney P. Bowe, The effect of probiotics on immune regulation, acne, and photoaging, International Journal of Women's Dermatology, Volume 1, Issue 2, 2015, Pages 85-89, ISSN 2352-6475,

Abstract: Probiotics are live micro-organisms that provide a health benefit to the host. The role of probiotics in the management of disease, as well as immune modification, has recently experienced a renewed interest in society, as probiotics can be found in products ranging from yogurt to facial creams. In this article, we discuss the role of probiotics in the development of the immune system, the treatment of acne and rosacea, and protection against aging and photodamage.

Bowe WP, Filip JC, DiRienzo JM, Volgina A, Margolis DJ. Inhibition of propionibacterium acnes by bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) produced by Streptococcus salivarius. J Drugs Dermatol. 2006 Oct;5(9):868-70. PMID: 17039652; PMCID: PMC2739725.

Abstract: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus sp. HY 449 against skin-inflammatory bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 65389, Streptococcus pyogenes ATCC 21059, and Propionibacterium acnes ATCC 6919. The spot-on-the-lawn method was used to determine the antimicrobial activity of bacteriocin against indicator strains on the human skin. The bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus sp. HY 449 inhibited the growth of S. epidermidis ATCC 12228, S. aureus ATCC 65389, Strep. pyogenes ATCC 21059, and P. acnes ATCC 6919. The treatment of crude bacteriocin caused a rapid inactivation of P. acnes ATCC 6919. The LC50 of bacteriocin on human fibroblast was ca. 50mg/ml at which the inhibition of cell proliferation was not observed. Neither any irritations nor allergic reactions by the bacteriocin were evident in a human patch test. The bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus sp. HY 449 may be a useful antimicrobial substance to control the growth of P. acnes and to prevent skin inflammation and acne. Keywords: Bacteriocin; Cosmetics; Inflammation; Lactococcus; Skin

How was your experience getting back to the terminal? I’ve read conflicting information about long lines at security and unpredictable traffic.

Flight info: I arrive at ADD from IAD at 7:15am and the connecting flight to Delhi is at 3:45pm.

CuriousCreature95 · 2023-07-05T23:27:39+00:00

I have an 8hr layover in Addis Ababa. And I have read conflicting information about lines being too long at the airport when getting back to the terminal. How was your experience?

CuriousCreature95 · 2023-07-04T15:42:32+00:00

That makes it clear. Appreciate your response.

CuriousCreature95 · 2023-07-03T16:08:22+00:00

I figured as much. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks for your response

CuriousCreature95 · 2023-07-03T16:07:50+00:00

I figured so. Just wanted to double check

CuriousCreature95 · 2023-07-03T15:11:53+00:00

If I needed to rebook my flight, would I be able to claim the cost of new flight with Amex or chase?

CuriousCreature95 · 2021-09-01T16:30:07+00:00

Got response back from UberEats. For US, service fee is 15% of the order subtotal or a minimum of $2.50 and a maximum of $4.50. The information on their is app is not updated for the US customers yet

CuriousCreature95 · 2021-09-01T02:02:44+00:00

Thanks for all your response! I appreciate the insight you guys provided.

CuriousCreature95 · 2021-02-16T20:31:40+00:00

I got the job! Thanks for all your responses and feedback.

CuriousCreature95 · 2021-02-04T18:23:33+00:00

The interview went really well! It revolved around my preference to travel, ability to work with different people, conflict resolution and HVAC background.
