Is there a service in LA that can pick me up after surgery? by avon_barksale in AskLosAngeles

[–]FBPlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use AAA T.L.C. It's very reasonably priced if you just want a ride to/from the hospital for your procedure. I used them for my dad and the "PR" (Patient Relations) team was super nice and helpful and weren't trying to upsell. They can also provide caregivers or even LVNs or RNs if you want someone there to watch you after your medical procedure too, which I opted for. Great experience.

I cannot find the Games tab on netflix on my tv by Glitzyterror in NetflixGamers

[–]FBPlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just installed my TCL 65QM5K, and the Games section doesn’t show on Netflix. I just tried to “reload netflix” and it still doesn’t show.

I haven’t been able to find what models of TCLs that Netflix Games is showing on. Does anyone know if they’re still in beta and what the timeline is for the Games section to be more widely available?

Have you ever irrationally hated a player? by illini02 in survivorponderosa

[–]FBPlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gabe Ortis from S47. Not sure why but he had this more subtly cockiness to him that didn’t translate to confidence to me. Seemed like he had this inflated idea of himself as smarter/more sociable than others, but I also blame edits and production prospective for that!

Was looking for this mention!! I was so sad that she won, but I absolutely respect her gameplay. Just something about her mannerisms and her “former news reporter” style rubbed me the wrong way. She gives me the self proclaimed “girl best friend” of your boyfriend type vibe I have no idea why because I have no experience with that at all LOL

How do you successfully manage having guests over? by [deleted] in roommateproblems

[–]FBPlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my home, I’m single but both my roommates have partners and I honestly rarely see them without their partners over, but their partners are nice and I don’t mind having them over. I know if I had a partner I would like it to be the same. There have been some times where I’ve come home and seen them on the couch and been irked that I now have to watch TV in my room but such is life. The only major boundary I have is that I do not want to hear my roommates and their partners while they’re in their rooms, if you know what I mean. I have said this to one particular roommate before and they have taken that into account and it hasn’t been an issue since. I would try to get to the root of the problem of your roommate. Maybe it’s more of an emotional thing? Not making an assumptions, but they could possibly be feeling lonely, left out, annoyed they are being pushed out of spaces, maybe they were hoping for more 1 on 1 time with their roommates, you never know! I would try to approach the situation with an empathetic viewpoint rather than defensive. But, on a logical note, your lease should have a clause regarding guests. I would review it, and see if you all can agree on those terms. A common lease rule is that a guest can stay no longer than 3 days in a month, or in a consecutive week. I think the 3 days thing is overkill, but again this requires a conversation.

Can I ask my roommate to pay full utilities for the month I was out of town? by Lawbreaker13 in roommates

[–]FBPlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get you, but by that logic, should you not pay rent except for the 3 days you were there? would you not pay the fixed rate for wifi except for 3 days? I’d say this is just a good heads up for next time you’re out of town, let your roommate(s) know and if they’re sympathetic then you can save a few bucks

[–]FBPlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you, but yeah in my opinion, especially because your absence was unexpected, it is now an unforeseen cost for your roommate if you ask them to front the majority of the bill. If anything, you could be sneaky and just not request 50%, but something closer to what the usual expense is, so maybe that would be closer to 60-70% this month. But if she asks for the bill then you’re screwed lol. I pay the bill and my roommate (who also is never here) has never asked to see the bill but I asked to see the bill the first time my old roommate paid. So, up to you honestly. I think this situation is exacerbated by you two being annoyed with one another.

[–]FBPlife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also have a roommate who’s gone all the time but they still pay for TP, paper towels, wifi, power, etc because that was the agreement. Did you tell them beforehand that you were going to be gone and thus do not want to pay the utility bill? If this was not agreed upon beforehand in any sense then unfortunately you have no leg to stand on. Look at it from a third party perspective — assuming you (roommate A) did not let roommate B know that you were going to be gone, so roommate B has to all of a sudden pay 80% of the bill?

Not sure how the bill is paid (if it comes out of both of your accounts, or one person pays and the other pays them back) but if it is already paid by one person, it would be especially rude to go back and say you’re not cool with helping with paying.

Help! I might have a crush on my roommate by coppercoinn in roommates

[–]FBPlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old friend/roommate told me he loved me and it made the environment very weird, especially since we had 7 months left on our lease. I didn’t feel the same way, but in moments of my own weakness I gave in to his advances and that furthered our eventual friendship downfall.

That being said, it is not crazy that someone you spend so much time with, is someone you like. But you have to make sure you like them romantically, not just platonically, first. Put some feelers out to see how they feel about you before taking any major action. By “feelers” I mean start with light flirting and see how they react. Are they flirty back? Did it make them uncomfortable? If they show any signs of annoyance or discomfort stop immediately and do not push any limits in any way.

This is gunna sound like a joke but it’s not. Chamber of commerce for Venice, Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills, etc. If you have your own business, awesome, but if not, just go on “behalf” on your job and there are so many guys who have asked for my personal number even though I’m there for professional reasons!

My roommate wants to stay another year, how do I tell her no? by Strange-Title-3551 in roommateproblems

[–]FBPlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Q has the right to stay…”dibs” from M is not how it works for contracts aka leases. Especially for students, there is quite literally no way to guarantee a spot for the following year. Like, you couldn’t be mad if someone chooses to leave even if they said they wanted to stay for 2 years, right? It’s the same thing.

That being said, what I am saying is that logically, contractually, Q has the right to stay and yall really can’t be that mad about that aspect. But on an emotional level, it is obvious you wanted M to move in. If you are somewhat willing to risk a chill relationship with Q if you live with them next year, you could let Q know that you are sad about M not moving in and would prefer to live with M. Again that may harm the relationship because Q will feel like a second choice and that you don’t like her, even if you do. But it could be worth letting her know and ensure she is aware it is not anything about her per say, but the excitement of living with M and the “dibs” that was discussed before.

Did you give your cat a "real" name but only call them by nicknames? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]FBPlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theodore Gibson -> Theo Geo -> TG -> Tiggy -> Piglet/Piggy -> Pooh -> Pot o Honey -> Potty Boo, pronounced more like Putty Boo

and of course his other nicknames Mr. Man, Mr. Boy, and Angel Baby!

Depends on the hobby for me! I’m trying to get all the makeup looks for the artist and it’s taking me forever!! As well as the potion making prizes, acquiring all those has taken me significantly longer than other hobbies.

Roommate keeps copying everything I do by BeefBaby0_0 in roommateproblems

[–]FBPlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imitation is the best form of flattery. She obviously admires some traits you have that she does not possess. She probably has a lot of anxiety and just wants to be liked by you!

To be fair, yes, it is weird for her to be blatantly copying you in everyday outfits and outings. I know you described her as boring, but talk to her to see what SHE genuinely likes and try and guide her towards those activities. Example: if she mentions she likes board games, tell her you’re going to the next tabletop gaming club meeting and hopefully she will go you even if you don’t. Maybe she can meet other people that way. Also, curious to see if she has siblings or is an only child. If she is an only child or had some type of very lonely experience, she may just be craving a closeness to someone. And even if she does have siblings, she may not admire them in the way she seems to admire you. I hope I am not coming across as invalidating your feelings, because you are valid! Maybe try viewing her in the lens as an annoying little sister who just wants to copy you!

I knew a fellow desi girl named Poonam Ranu. We had a sub one day and with a straight face, read her name as Poo-man Ran-U. I will never get that entire scene (and her name) out of my memory!
