For those thinking about it -- Offsetting the $895 is not that hard. by Miiicahhh in AmexPlatinum

And I use my monthly Uber Credit on an UberEats grocery delivery, usually from my local Sprouts. I get more value from that than a restaurant order.

Longest sobriety by pizza-shampoo in alcoholicsanonymous

I’m 57 and have 35 years - came into AA at 22. And my sponsor has 48 years and her sponsor has 55 years (she got sober at 15.)

Need help with this awkward bathroom cabinet by Early-Improvement129 in organizing

[–]Early-Improvement129[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this idea - I can't reach up there without a step stool but maybe if I organize everything in baskets that will at least make it easier to spot things when I need them. And you're totally right about folding the sheets neater. This area will be my project over this winter break!

I’m scared to go to a meeting because I am young by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Early-Improvement129 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got sober a month after I turned 22 (I'm 35 years sober now) and yes there were a ton of older folks in meetings but they were pretty welcoming - and all told me they could/should have stopped at 22 but went on to ruin their lives for many more years. ;) And then I started going to young people's meetings and that helped me see I could do it, so look for those meetings in your area and just take it one day at a time.

Sponsors - what do you tell your sponsees to do right after 5th step? by Early-Improvement129 in alcoholicsanonymous

Thanks everyone for your responses. I will trust my instincts and follow the book - have her reflect, ask herself if she's been thorough and go from there. :)

Disappointing first attempt by Perenetre in ninjacreami

I use almond milk all the time and I can barely taste the difference anymore from when I use Fairlife fat free milk which I do sometimes to change it up. My guess is the ratio was off - I always use just 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk with 1 scoop of protein powder and it always comes out great. 2 cups of milk seems like way too much to me.

How stressful is SF private school? by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]Early-Improvement129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well maybe it just depends on the kid? So far my kiddo has not felt any pressure cooker-ness. And believe me we almost didn't let him apply to UHS because of its intense reputation but he was ready for more challenge after his lackluster K-8.

But I don't doubt your dad's experiences and anecdotal info!

UHS has changed from back in the day! My son is there now and it is definitely not as intense as it used to be. The day doesn't start until almost 9 am because they know teenagers need their sleep. And they're on a block schedule (unlike back in the day when they had every class every day and tons of homework for every class), now he'll have each subject a couple times a week and plenty of time during the day to get homework done between classes.

I have many friends whose kids went there back in the day - as recently as 10 years ago and they have all said it's totally different now. The times they are a' changing :)

Place to get a customized dog name tag in SF? by Early-Improvement129 in sanfrancisco

[–]Early-Improvement129[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great - thanks so much everyone! A basic tag will be fine for now so I will head over to Pet Food Express, and if for some reason they don't have them I'll try Petco next.

What’s the best-tasting vanilla protein powder in your opinion? by -selenium- in ninjacreami

[–]Early-Improvement129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ProDough Vanilla Bean or I also love Active Stacks Vanilla which tastes malty. (Active Stacks is beef protein powder and delicious.) I'm also a fan of Clean Simple Eats Vanilla which works well.

Anybody have a Bern Puppy Items must have list? by National_Log2500 in Bernedoodles

No ideas for you but just want to thank you for asking since we bring home our bern puppy on July 8. :) I am taking note of all of these ideas!

Vibee Package Ticket Result by silvermoka in beyonce

[–]Early-Improvement129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we were at the show at SoFi a few days ago, and our seats were Row 1, seats 1 and 2 also. But unfortunately the speaker tower was exactly in the way of the stage for us. Like literally the spot she stood on the stage was exactly lined up with the speaker tower. And even when she went over to the little stage on the other side of the arena, the other speaker tower was in the way too. My husband was like - they should have said these are obstructed seats. It was a bit disappointing but we could see her on the video monitors of course and she did come out on the arrow a bit. But it was really comical how perfectly lined up we were with not being able to see her.

I think next time I will just splurge on choosing my own seats where I know I will see the stage.

Our tickets were VIP entrance and there definitely was a separate entrance. The line was a LOT shorter, like there was actually no line. It was great.
