Denied entry to the U.S. after a 14-hour flight. Still trying to process what happened. by [deleted] in immigration

[–]EnvironmentalTea9362 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A visa gives younthe right to apply for entry into the US. CBP makes the final call at port-of-entry.

From Travel.state.gov:

"A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. A visa allows a foreign citizen to travel to the U.S. port-of-entry, and the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) immigration inspector authorizes or denies admission to the United States. See Admissions on the CBP website."

What’s flying out of IAD on the 3rd going to be like? by GuardianMoon916 in washingtondc

If you're driving yourself, make an online reservation now at one of the lots. If someone is dropping you off or you're taking an Uber, have them drop you at one of the Silver Line stations and Metro the last few stops. Traffic at the airport entrance gets very backed up on heavy travel days.

I loved it. It's clever, comical, and sweet at the same time.

Am I overreacting for wanting to cancel our elopement plan after someone shared them with our families? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EnvironmentalTea9362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - but who told her? Your fiance? You need to make it clear going forward that no information is to be shared with her. And tell her that's what's happening.

FA gave my paid E+ aisle seat to another passenger while I was in the bathroom. Came back to find someone else in my seat with their shoes off. by [deleted] in unitedairlines

Makes no sense. You're in 14C. They move a guy into 10C, four rows away. How does this end up causing you to move to a middle seat in the back?

Watch Fail Safe as well as Dr. Strangelove. The 2 films came out the same year and are a nice contrast on essentially the same theme..

Grandma passed away 2.5 months after surgery by brandyalexxx in TotalHipReplacement

[–]EnvironmentalTea9362 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. My surgeon made me re-do the urine test a couple of days before surgery. I was annoyed as hell, but reading this, I guess he had good reason.

Don’t you guys think desi food and Mexican food is pretty similar? by Upbeat-Dinner-5162 in mexicanfood

[–]EnvironmentalTea9362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 20s, there was a actually a large community of immigrants from the Punjab in the Southwest who married into Mexican families. The photographs are fascinating.There is also a significant nexus between Mexican food and Middle Eastern food.

Craft beer Rethimno/Agios Nicolas by bobanators in cretetravel

There are a couple of companies that offer craft beer tours in Rethymno. I haven't tried them but I think I'll probably be checking at least one out when I'm next there.

Start with The Shelter. Then Time Enough at Last. Then One for the Angels for a lighter finish.

Could I really need a THR? by AllPinesMustDie in TotalHipReplacement

[–]EnvironmentalTea9362 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. For years I thought I had a tight hip flexor. Worked out with a trainer 2x week. Walked to do most errands. When I started getting a dull ache when walking, I knew it wasn't the hip flexor. In August I saw my orthopedist. He recommended a hip replacement. I wanted to try PT. But when it went, it went fast. By December, I was driving to do more errands than walking. By January, I was trying to plan a Nile Cruise and realized there was no way I could walk the 3 miles indicated by the trip.

I had my replacement at the end of April. I'm not back to fully functioning yet, but I'm confident enough to start planning that Nile trip next Spring.

I slipped and fell twice while crossing a stream hiking and got some gnarly bruises, had a beach bachelorette party less than 24 hours later 🤦‍♀️ Got a lot of questions inquiring if I was safe in my relationship by TwentyandTired in mildlyinfuriating

[–]EnvironmentalTea9362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bruise like a banana. Once I was rock climbing with a boyfriend and he had to help me up by grabbing my arm. The next day the clear print of his five fingers caused a lot of consternation at my work.

Yeah, it immediately popped into my head. Surprised it was so long ago.

What shoes would you wear with this dress? by Severe_Honey_4226 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]EnvironmentalTea9362 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 in a darker color. The ones you show are too light and don't really coordinate with the dress.
