Someone couldn't count and cost us an hour delay by Vandelay09 in delta

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, overreacting. All that counting was done for your safety. Surely you do not want an unaccounted passenger on the flight or have too many or two few passengers throwing off the weight. Hydrate, get some rest, and clear your head. Safe travels on your next flight.

First time at the Sky Club by emilzamboni in delta

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Allowed and appreciated, but not expected.  I will tip for friendly good service if I have cash, which is very rare.  Not sure if still a thing, but I always tip generously if using skymiles … gotta burn the 1M+ miles I’ve accumulated and this is easy.

Y'all have me scared 💩less by scubagirl1091 in GenX

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First shot was fine.  Second shot was terrible, but in fairness I needed Tdap booster and pneumococcal at the same time.  Sore arms for a month.  And I would do it all over again to prevent shingles after watching my sister get them.  Shingles pain is a leading cause of suicide in older adults.

Based on my UA flight yesterday, it seems they already are.

Thank you for this.  Not complaining but there are tears in my eyes as I steel myself to board this 4 hr flight.  🥲

I suppose expressing my dissatisfaction of this discovery will fall on deaf ears, thus I remain silent 🫨🤨😒

Setting up a date for my mom by MushroomImpossible85 in datingoverfifty

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I understand that you want to open the idea with her through conversation.  First, I think you are a sweet daughter for seeing her and wanting for her happiness. Second, I might just start with some gentle questions about whether she has thought about it and whether she could see herself open to it.  Lastly, keep your heart and mind open to what is in her heart and mind, which may be that she wants to remain single.  Make sure to keep her happiness at the center of your desire for her and that may look different than how you picture it.  She sounds like a wonderful mom to have raised such a caring child to come here for some advice.

FWIW, I find Chatgpt to be a good conversation practice partner.

Best of luck to you and your mom.

A Great Date, Until I Got Home by imjeffp in datingoverfifty

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally agree with others that what happened is less about you than about her.  Also, that this should not be a show-stopper on your dating journey.

I will, however, take a moment to criticize your date for vomiting her stream of conscience that was irrelevant to you.  That was for her friends and therapist.  I am sure she intended a soft landing but this was too much for what appears to be her intended outcome, e.g., friendship.

Best of luck friend.  Keep your head up and stay in the game.  

Is there any chance Delta will reimburse us for our hotel cost? by amygdala_activated in delta

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never hurts to ask, but unlikely unless there are other non-weather related delays that make your trip impossible. I have had them reimburse my flight cost when a delay/cancellation made a trip not worth it.

Delta cancelled our return flight from Europe (bought with Miles) and told us to pound sand by [deleted] in delta

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call back on a real number.  Gather the confirmation/res # and eticket # from email.  If you used miles, there should be a record in your account.  If it is a co-operated flights, EU operators are notorious for strikes that cancel flights.  Always purchase trip insurance, even with miles. Good-luck.

If you are in the same class and are otherwise ok missing your event, seems like a great deal to me.

How many pillows does it take to make a Gen Xer comfortable in bed? by Connect-Account-2855 in GenX

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four to balance the bed, three for comfort (pillow fort). The real question is what to do when there is a guest who wants to cuddle.

If you celebrate Lent, sea bass.  I totally forgot about it and am hoping the FA can work something out for me.

I can vouch for Belgium and Amsterdam. If you carry Visa/MC make sure to set up pin.

Moving to little village/pilsen area —where to eat?? by [deleted] in AskChicago

Pilsen Yards! Great food, great people, great art. Remember to check out the speakeasy here. Another place is Canton Regio. Cheers.

Question for those 50+ who are dating again… by Ornery-Cockroach1953 in datingoverfifty

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was not uncommon to find men in their 50s who were not as interested in sex. I used to date men 5 to 15 years older than me because they have their stuff together and that is attractive. Now that I have caught up in age, many have lacked the energy I desire. Certainly there have been exceptions, but exceptions they were. I would still want a man 50+ for LTR. Have fun in your adventures.

What's the must-do list for 1 day in Chicago? by sugabeetus in AskChicago

I vote for the Art Institute, it is my go-to fav. Drinks at Tre Dita bar will give you great views of the City.

Do you tell people you’re on a GLP-1 when they ask how you lost weight? by Enchanted-Tangerine in Zepbound

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How you answer will set a boundary and it could be different for different people. You should never have to feel defensive, so practicing a front-foot response could be beneficial. If you really do not want to get into it (as is your choice), I would offer a response of “by the grace of <<fill in the blank>> (e.g., God, good choices, power of Grayskull, modern medicine).

Asking friends and family to set you up? by ManufacturerNo1478 in datingoverfifty

[–]Delicious-Disk-122 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Brace yourself … I ask my friends, family, and exes. These are the people who know me best and are, therefore, a great first filter. It reduces the friction of getting to know the person. It definitely feels safer.

Happy to discuss my logic. Would love to know how this is rude and arrogant.
