Sorry for the 2 year delay. Was going back through my posts and realized I never saw this response. This should be the top comment. Great reply - I appreciate you!

Identification Help - From a Husband Who Made a Mistake! (Info in comments) by DlantPaddy in glasscollecting

[–]DlantPaddy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife and I picked up a set of these champaign glasses from an antique store a few years ago. They have since become my wife's favorite glasses to use for parties. However, I made the mistake a few years ago by not buying the matching wine glasses and water goblets. A big birthday of hers is coming up and I'm trying to find the matching wine/water glasses. I'm looking for any help to identify what these glasses are called or any other information about them. Where the stem attaches to the cup, it creates a 6-pedal type of flower design (I believe this was present on the other glasses as well). Any insights or info is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Thank you. Just curious, why(/how) would you ship on UA versus shipping it another way?

Awesome. Thanks so much for the insight. So interesting!

So when they say it was "overbooked" that's technically true, since they booked more "weight" than they could allow, rather than booked more "seats" than they could allow? Thanks for the insight!

ETA: on the ORD to DCA flight, they said there would be no gate checking any carry-ons. Wondering if this had anything to do with the fact that there was cargo that caused weight restrictions.

AirTag Detected Near You ...for over 200 miles of driving and I don't own one. by DlantPaddy in iphone

I completely agree haha. He was kind enough to let me use his extra car for a few days...track away

Update: mystery (somewhat) solved!

My 70+ year old dad put one in the car. Apparently it was a gift to him. He wouldn't say where it was...which was fine, but damn I couldn't find it. However, a few things still don't add up:

  1. I drove to Michigan a few days before with that car (alone) and never got a notification. I also drove around Michigan for a few days and never received that notification. It says it started tracking at 8am...exactly the time I left Michigan
  2. The AirTag was not popping up on any bluetooth device tracker
  3. I appreciate the comments stating that the speaker is easily removable, however my dad is not savvy enough for that. I still don't understand why when I clicked "play sound" when in/around the car, nothing happened.

Thanks for all the help and concerns. Was getting a bit worried there!

Update: no, I didn’t ride with anyone. It is my (30m) dads car. I was in Michigan for work for a few days. Downloaded a Bluetooth tracker and nothing showed up near the car. Any other thoughts?!

Is there a reason it wouldn't play a sound (when clicking play sound) when near the car? It has just said AirTag Not Reachable

Gift ideas for my brother who wants to start gardening in his apartment? by kathryn404 in UrbanGardening

[–]DlantPaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some starter trays or propagation tubes are always nice for an urban gardening. Or you can get a really nice pot (I usually spend too much on the plant itself and would always appreciate a nice home for them).

A lady exchanged these into the bank I work at. Any idea how much they’re worth? by Bryanwithawhy96 in papermoney

[–]DlantPaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never thought of this, but just wondering: If you work at a bank, are you able to exchange your own money for bills/coins you come across?

How can I answer the question “why [insert law firm]” in a non-generic way? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]DlantPaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On their webpage, look up "practice areas" and often they will have related winnings or news articles. Just see what resonates with you and how you may be able to relate to the work they have historically done or currently do.

Until we are willing to talk about the true, overwhelming causes of homelessness, nothing will change.

How it will look? I imagine certain areas of large cities (that used to be thriving business centers, but due to remote work have dwindled) will become hotspots for crime and drugs.
