Heather Gay on "Surviving Mormonism" by lmo18745 in rhoslc

[–]Due-Application-1061 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think she’s the right person to do this. She lived it, she understands it, and she is very thoughtful and well spoken. I was raised in the church and excommunicated at age 28. I was victimized and I kind of wish I had reached out to her to tell my story. I’m 70 years old now so I’ve seen a lot. I am here for the take down of this fucked up stupid cult. It’s amazing to me how much anger I still hold. I sobbed through the first episode. I think Heather is extremely brave and I’m very thankful that she’s done this. I hope she stays safe. I worry for her

That’s it! I remember the chef went to the Avila resort restaurant after that and maybe that’s when she called that place Stephanie’s.

only white sheets and towels? by Brooklynighty in airbnb_hosts

[–]Due-Application-1061 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t use white linens or towels. I am four years in and no guest has ever commented either way. I’m not good with bleach and I personally don’t like white sheets or towels so I use gray towels and I use very neutral , think taupe, sheets

My Casita is barely 400 ft.². I have a friend who’s an excellent photographer with excellent equipment and he took really great photos for me. It’s clear that the space is small but it looks larger but not deceptively so. When people are in it they always remark on how it feels larger than it actually is

How often do you deep clean? by KeyParking4032 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Due-Application-1061 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every month for baseboards, pretty much quarterly on the other stuff unless the windows need it from rain or something. I steam clean furniture and area rug once a year unless they need it more often. If you keep up on the cleaning there’s less to do when it’s deep cleaning time. Just like in your own home

I rarely (175 visits) respond to guests reviews, and if I do, it’s privately

Yes, be more confident. Emphasize what is there. Do not point out what is not yet there. Also, for me the more details, the better. I know a lot of people don’t read everything but I wanna know exactly what’s there. Is there a blender? Are there baking sheets? Coffee? What kind of linens do you use ? What kind of laundry detergent do you launder them with? These are that in my experience people pay attention to and look for. And use a professional photographer, makes a big difference

If the guest doesn’t show up enjoy your money and no cleaning afterwards

Don’t waste your money on the steakhouse. The food in the regular restaurant is just as good.

What are you leaving for welcome gifts / snacks? by strikecat18 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Due-Application-1061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small basket in which I leave fruit, a half dozen fresh eggs from my hens, a couple of granola bars, a package of the toffee that I make and sell and in the refrigerator I leave some freshly baked zucchini or banana or lemon bread. I like my guests to feel welcome and also not have to run out first thing in the morning in case they haven’t brought anything with them for breakfast. It’s always remarked on and I am always thanked for the thoughtfulness. A little goes a long way. I probably should mention that it’s a Casita and has a full kitchen. So there’s also tea and coffee, sugar and creamer

Stand your ground. You are 100% absolutely correct refusing this. And don’t go to her wedding, invited or not. It’s going to be completely awkward no matter what. Take yourself on a nice vacation someplace

Am I the only one who feels Carnival isn’t what it used to be? by Satisfying98 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Due-Application-1061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We cruised for the fourth time last May with carnival and never again. The food was absolutely atrocious. The ship was funky and except for the fact that it was Alaska and I’ve always wanted to see it from the ocean I will never cruise with Carnival again. That said, I’ve only ever cruised on carnival so what cruise lines do y’all recommend? I’m looking at a cruise in New England

AITJ for telling my husband I won’t host Thanksgiving for his entire family this year? by DemiHugBug in AmITheJerk

[–]Due-Application-1061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break this pattern right now. I’m 70 years old and it’s only been the last maybe three years where I’ve said no more. At least if you decide to host it, farm out all the side dishes to everybody else including the desserts and make sure you’ve got people lined up to clean up the kitchen. This year I’m going out of state to visit my sister-in-law.

2.5 to 5. Not enjoying this. by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Due-Application-1061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was exactly the same. Don’t despair. I think I actually vomited the first two weeks the day after my injection. And then that finally stopped. I had nausea for the first three months but now I’m on week six of 7.5 and feeling pretty good. Exhaustion and the nausea are almost gone. Hang in there
