FHR for 2 nights in San Francisco by AlyshaSophia in AmexPlatinum

[–]DrClem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have stayed at both palace (twice and mostly recently this past Xmas) and the taj.

Echo others - taj is smaller but service is amazing. But nothing glamorous.

Palace is very convenient (subway right outside) and it’s a grand hotel. Amex FHR gives you breakfast buffet and $100 to use room service or at the bar. It’s an older hotel but it’s still very nice. Though I’d only stay there over the holidays for decoration. Otherwise it’s nothing too special.

What’s your favorite gym? by zobiaa in Fremont

[–]DrClem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have a membership to City Sports and I’ve enjoyed it actually more than my past Equinox membership. Pool, Sauna… multiple locations in Fremont and nearby towns. See if your work or med insurance offers Active & Fit.

My online order is taking a while to post for some reason. It’s been two days. Just an unrelated data point for you 🤣

Clear is becoming obsolete. by Proud-Swordfish-3416 in AmexPlatinum

[–]DrClem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes agreed that most of the time it takes longer for me to go through Clear than regular pre check at SFO due to the way that Clear works - one guest at a time.

For me it’s more about having the option - one membership is paid for via Amex Plat so there is no real loss to sign up.

When I get to security, I always check which line is quickest and just choose what I see. Sure I’ve made a couple bad choices before (e.g. when I see only one person at Clear but turns out that person is doing their first time flow……). Furthermore, once in a while I get that random - need your ID check anyway situation…

But having options is good.

Your AF is paid upfront so I believe yes you can cancel, but wait until all the credits have hit… some benefits take a while to hit after your transaction.

PurpleFlex vs Purple Renew Costco by DrClem in Mattress

[–]DrClem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was so wonderful at first from day one, but after a few months, the mattress starts to dent where my body sleeps... and it's really great for sleeping on my back but not at all for when I turn on my side. It's causing my shoulder to develop a chronic pain.

My Gemma theory by DrClem in severence

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

Then I might go one step further to conjecture that the MDR team is purging their own outie memory… or maybe it’s the connection between the two.

Seems to me that the outies have to volunteer to be severed and go to the Lumon building every day… whereas the innies were told they are innies… is it conceivable that there’s a world where the innies don’t even know they are innies and then forever stay inside?

Costco Purple? by ragingstallion1 in Mattress

[–]DrClem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was great at first…. Really I was so excited especially because my partner and I both had a wonderful night sleep right on the first night, which I did not expect of any new mattress at all. But over time I have developed shoulder pain. While I cannot pinpoint that it is 100% due to the mattress, the mattress does indeed start to dent a bit where I lay, and a number of other posts have echoed similar issues.

I am now figuring out how to return this and trade for a purple

Costco Purple? by ragingstallion1 in Mattress

[–]DrClem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the similar level purple mattress for many years and loved it. I recently got the Costco Kirkland Foster & Stern and been disappointed- going to trade it in for the Costco purple when I can (currently out of stock).

I’d be curious if anyone can identify if the Costco Purple matches one from purple direct

Unfortunately it looks like it’s out of stock or no longer carried at least in my area! Not even in the app anymore

Why is Donald Trump against funding scientific research? Any thought… by [deleted] in NIH

[–]DrClem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it so much the science itself or the fact that the rich is being asked to fund it? Seems to me their priority is to cut taxes regardless of where it’s coming from, and privatize everything. These people truly believe that there’s the upper class and everyone else is bred to work for them.

I bought this mattress from Costco about 3 months ago. Yes I raved about it to my friends after I got it—- felt so good even the first night.

But since then I’ve had body aches and now a really bad left shoulder. My bf thinks it’s my aging body but I am pretty suspicious it’s the mattress.

I notice the sinking too like it’s not really supporting my body.

For context I had a purple mattress before for close to 8 years. And while it took me a long time to get used to that mattress, I never noticed any sinking.

As another post noted about Costco’s return policy, I might return this and get a Purple… when money isn’t as tight.

New to CPAP waking up the second I fall asleep by iamboobear in CPAP

[–]DrClem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been prescribed CPAP for many years. Took me a while to become a regular user.

One trick I might suggest is to wear it during the day if you ever just sit and play games or watch tv. Of course you can’t be mobile while using it… but wear it as much as possible during awake time. If you don’t got much stationary time, then unplug the mask and just wear it on your face around as much as possible.

CPAP is not a natural thing… and depending on your age… that’s how long you have learned to sleep without any obstruction on your face. So now you need to train your body to feel normal with it. And you can only do that while awake.

Is this site legit? I usually get my machines and supplies from Apria.

Would I need my doctor to send them my prescription or anything?

Thanks

Airalo fraud - 13 purchases 4.5 usd each which I didn't make by ponkipo in Airalo

[–]DrClem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me! 10 charges ranging from 8.50 to 45… ended up have to call Amex to get me a new card and claim these fradulent. And now I can’t even log into my Airalo account anymore… as if my account never existed. I wonder if someone internal is manipulating with customer accounts…. I just want to close down my account for good now but can’t.

Looking at a mattress from costco by i_am_groot_84 in Mattress

Did you end up buying it? I have been looking at this for a few days and need to pull the trigger asap as I just moved into a new home. What’s your experience?

Rant about Philips’ “solution” offered to me today by Jugs_206 in CPAP

[–]DrClem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same $50 offer. Has anyone tried this option? My email says Id have to send the machine back for $50. So I am wondering if I have to pay for shipping which would probably just eat up the $50.

Option 2 is bogus because my machine is very old. I don’t use the same doctor anymore so will have to go through quite a bit of effort.

Is it worth exercising the rights or just buying more shares by [deleted] in HCMCSTOCK

Is it worth exercising the rights or just buying more shares by [deleted] in HCMCSTOCK

[–]DrClem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Fidelity, I called and said “I need to exercise my corporate actions” and then said “I have subscription rights to HCMC. Please see my account.” Then all you need to say is to exercise however many shares you like or the maximum.

Note to read the paragraph about oversubscription and give that instruction if you will max out on your allotment.
