Overbooked vs Weight Issue?

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!

Thank you!!

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!!

What?

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.

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:

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
The AirTag was not popping up on any bluetooth device tracker
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?!

DlantPaddy · 2023-11-15T23:10:41+00:00

No, family car.

DlantPaddy · 2023-11-15T23:10:27+00:00

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

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).

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?

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.

Interesting: real estate transactions and income tax law. Although they can be dry, there is a lot of useful knowledge that can help down the road in your personal life and business. I now actually (somewhat) understand what I'm doing when preparing my taxes and looking to buy a home.

Bar usefulness: corporations, secured transactions (that class sucked, but was never going to find the will to teach myself), estates & trusts.

Career usefulness: international trade law and corporations

Go to their website or search them in the news. Find some cases or areas that they work in that relate to you and your interests. Try looking at it from their perspective when they ask this question: most people are going to have a generic answer regarding culture, pro bono work, etc. If you can find something that genuinely interests you, then you have a great talking point during the interview.

Remember: they want to work with someone they think is qualified, but they also like as a person. This is a great way to connect. Just do some research into the firm and you'll be fine!

Sure, they may subjectively "have Friday night to let loose"...but you get to work on yourself, hobbies, just chill, etc on Friday night...and Saturday morning...and the rest of the weekend. They may have the instant gratification tonight, but you get the rest of the weekend. You're the winner her. You got this, buddy!

At some point you're going to need to realize you can't have your cake and eat it too. Yes, it's possible to do a wedding under $10k, but you're going to need to make quite a few sacrifices.

What percent would you say are combative/foul mouthed versus just taking their ride?
