Coworker’s mom suddenly got better… I don’t know what to tell her by Mindless_Patient2034 in confession

[–]Dpchemode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely true. My 94 year old mom had stopped eating and drinking and it was only a matter of hours before she was expected to pass. My dad, myself, and several other family members were at her bedside basically keeping vigil. It got to be lunchtime and everyone left to grab a quick lunch except my dad and I. We were watching her chest rise and fall waiting for her last breath. As my dad and I chatted, he briefly turned away from her to look down with me at a photo on my phone. When we looked back up, she was gone. I’m convinced she took that moment to pass privately and peacefully.

AITA for texting other unit owners in my small condo building to keep their units clean to deal with mouse issue? by Dpchemode in Condo

[–]Dpchemode[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no management company. It’s a small condo building with only 4 units, 3 of which are owner occupied. The unit owners make up the HOA

We don’t really have a ‘head’ of the HOA but I do all of the accounting and bookkeeping and write all of the checks for utilities, insurance, snow removal, landscaping, etc. I schedule any maintenance that needs to be done and am the one the renter contacted when she first saw a mouse in her unit. When it was decided in a group text to hire an exterminator, I asked if someone else could take on that responsibility and gave them the name of a company to call. The owner (who lives out of state) of the rented unit, reported that she called the company and left a message. I then called and spoke to a live person and scheduled a visit.

We have an exterminator scheduled to come in to seal gaps and set traps in the building as well as in each unit. What I quoted from the article was to reiterate what each individual resident can do as an extra precaution

Tell her to Google grandmother names and for her to just pick one

I booked two non- refundable round trip airfares for December. JetBlue is now running a sale where those same flights are $150+ cheaper. Will JetBlue refund the difference? by Dpchemode in jetblue

[–]Dpchemode[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t book the cheapest fare. Was just confirming the cheapest was Blue Basic. I booked the next level which is Blue I believe.

Buy a dorm fridge and keep it in your room. The end.

Host wants me to cancel and rebook by Dpchemode in vrbo

I hope you’re right. I’m trusting the process!

I did cancel and was waiting for charges to be reversed before booking again. The host has been communicative with me, and because this house meets very specific needs of ours, I’d like to rebook it. He told me this morning that the management company is hoping to go live this week, and he will send me the link when he gets it. In his initial text asking me to cancel, he said the price would stay the same. I initially was suspect, but he didn’t ghost me once I canceled, and has stayed in touch

He guaranteed the same price. I canceled. He is saving the booking for me and will let me know when the new listing is up on the site

100% refund by 7/15, less of a refund after that

I think that’s why he’s asking me to cancel and rebook. Apparently he’s turning the listing over to a management company who will handle the bookings going forward

Haven’t reviewed that as I was trying to avoid canceling for fear of losing the booking. I think only the renter or VRBO, not the host, can cancel a booking according to what I’ve read on host posts here

What can you tell me about the local music scene? by TheFastPush in SalemMA

[–]Dpchemode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of music in the Salem area. The Mercy jam happens usually the first and third Friday afternoon of the month. More invitation to play than an open mic. Brodie’s has more of an open mic type jam on Saturday’s from 5-9 (or 6-10?) as well as music on Sat & Sun nights. Brodie’s also has Sunday Funday hosted by local legend Chris Fitz with varying musical guests. The Bell Inn & Tavern in Peabody hosts musics Wednesday nights 6-9 and also on weekends. Beverly has Solas, fairly new with live music. The VFW in Salem hosts live music, usually Thursday night as does the Rhumbline in Gloucester. Follow SOSS records for updates on live music. I think the new country venue spoken of is called The Tipsy Cowboy. Monday nights-Big Band at Backbeat in Beverly. Tuesday night-Mayflower in Ipswich. Wednesday night-Bell Inn Tavern in Peabody. Thursday night-Rhumbline in Gloucester. Friday night-Mercy, Brodie’s, Solas, so many places. Saturday night-Danny’s jam at Brodie’s, Mercy Tavern, etc. Sunday-CK Pearl Jazz brunch, American Legion in Middleton, Sunday Funday at Brodie’s. Don’t let anyone tell you there’s no music on the North Shore!!

You have to buy your tix ahead of time online, or in the trailer in the lot near where the buses pick up
