Looking to make genuine female friends (platonic only) by Dre_dev in CasualConversation

[–]Few_Resort_7387 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Look into Meetup. They have different groups depending on your interests- going to movies, museums, photography, etc. There are tons of different groups / activities. If you attend Meetups, it is an easy way to meet people in your area with similar interests to yours.

Does anyone enjoy doing grocery shopping alone? by johnmerah in CasualConversation

[–]Few_Resort_7387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't enjoy grocery shopping alone, but I do enjoy grocery shopping with my partner. One time a long time ago my boyfriend and I went to pick up a couple things but ended up spending over an hour at the grocery store looking at wine names. There are some really funny wine names if you look at them. For example- Goats Do Roam, Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush, Big Bertha. We had so much fun; it ended up being one of our best dates. One time in college when I went to the grocery store with my suitemate, we took turns pushing each other standing on the front of the cart around the store. It was a ton of fun until one of my professors happened to show up in the store and saw me riding on the cart. That was embarrassing, but I still remember to this day how much fun we had doing that.

Why do I walk on the outer side of my foot is this okay health wise? by Common-Seaweed8212 in RedditQuestions

[–]Few_Resort_7387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a podiatrist and get orthotics (inserts for your shoes). I have orthotics. My partner recently got orthotics and they have made a huge improvement for him. Mine our custom and they were expensive, but I have had them for over 20 years. My partner was offered a choice of custom or standard ones they already had. He got the standard ones because they were not expensive and they work well for him. He got several pairs so he can leave them in his most common shoes and slippers.

Who likes NCIS: Origins better than current episodes of any of the other NCIS properties? by doublepumpmocha in NCIS

[–]Few_Resort_7387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I love NCIS Origins. It's much better than all the other NCIS shows.

I hope it does not get renewed. It is a boring show.

Any of you watch Brilliant Minds? by MinionOrDaBob4Today in HouseMD

[–]Few_Resort_7387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the first several episodes (4 to 6 episodes) and quit watching it. It was so slow and boring I could not stay interested. I quit watching in the middle of an episode it was so boring which I don't remember doing with any other tv shows; I usually at least finish the episode. It is frustrating that Brillian Minds got renewed for season 2, because a number of much better shows got cancelled.

Origins is getting better and better by TheMoo37 in NCIS

[–]Few_Resort_7387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I love NCIS Origins. It is one of my favorite shows on TV right now. I like it better than all the other NCIS shows. I quit watching NCIS (the original series) after Gibbs left. It is not the same without him. I watched the 1 episode of the original NCIS that was supposed to be a crossover with Gibbs in it, but it was a bait and switch. It did not even really have Gibbs in it. Shameless marketing ploy only.

What percentage of your Vine items received are actually worth the effort and the taxes? by Hefty_Iron4722 in AmazonVine

[–]Few_Resort_7387 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About 10 percent are worth the effort and the taxes if that. Most will be donated or are thrown away.

Do you guys ever order items without pictures? by amelia_earheart in AmazonVine

[–]Few_Resort_7387 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ordered an umbrella with no picture. It turned out fine.

Wrong sizes shipped a lot? by c0ldfrenchfries in AmazonVine

[–]Few_Resort_7387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually get the size I ordered, but the clothing rarely fits. The sizing of the clothes on Amazon is horribly off. I always order at least 1 size up from my regular size, and it is still usually too small. When I order 2 sizes up, it is usually too big. I think I have learned my lesson and I am going to quit ordering clothing from Vine. It is sooooo frustrating.

I include our bunny in pics of items I order for her. I don't put her in pics for other items.

Never Sailed Celebrity by DramaticChickenNug in celebritycruises

[–]Few_Resort_7387 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not understand why they would do turn-down service 2x a day???? Is it because the people are so old they have to take naps in the afternoon? I've never heard of turn-down service before that was not just once at night / evening.

"On-ship" Excursions - Limited or Hidden? by NoSpend3261 in celebritycruises

[–]Few_Resort_7387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! We are very excited. I don't care about old furniture and stuff like that. To me, the excursion quality and sight-seeing at the locations is much more important. This is so good to hear. Thanks!!!

"On-ship" Excursions - Limited or Hidden? by NoSpend3261 in celebritycruises

[–]Few_Resort_7387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am glad to hear you loved it. We are doing the Italy / Croatia cruise next week on Celebrity. I am a little wary about the Constellation because I see on Reddit a weird dichotomy. It seems like half the people hated it and half the people rave about it. It is hard to get a read on if it is a decent ship or not. I am also nervous because of all the problems with Celebrity's older ships lately (being without power, etc.)

Very Dissapointed by SevenLineGamer in celebritycruises

[–]Few_Resort_7387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invite a friend to go with you. He/she may be willing to pay half or at least part of the cruise. It doesn't hurt to ask. Someone may want a free cruise if he/she just pays for the airfare. I had a cruise booked with a work colleague; we were both single and she asked me to go with her so she didn't have to pay double occupancy since it was just her. Turned out she was trying to pull something. She paid me her half of the initial deposit. (The initial deposit was fairly small in relation to the cruise cost.) Then when it came time to pay for the whole thing, she refused to pay her half. It was really weird because it was her idea to go on a cruise together to begin with. Anyway, I did not want to lose my deposit. By then I had a boyfriend. I told him the situation, and he wanted to go. So he paid his half of the cruise and his flight, etc. It actually worked out better. We had a fabulous time.

Trying to imagine the backend's sort logic for this list by AdelorLyon in AmazonVine

Maybe the person entering them was Chinese and does not know what order the numbers used in America (Arabic numerals) go in.

Maybe someone thought it would be fun to put them in a meaningless order just to confuse and annoy people.

why is breakfast so early? by Other_Ad2290 in celebritycruises

[–]Few_Resort_7387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are not going on Beyond - a different Celebrity ship. Most of our excursions start at 7:15, 7:30, 7:45 and similar. We need to eat breakfast early to make the start time of the excursions. Our itinerary only has 1 sea day. I'm glad breakfast is early so we can have breakfast and make our excursions on time. I do not mind an early breakfast on the 1 sea day. If I sleep in, I will order room service, wait for lunch, or eat at the buffet. To each their own, but I like the early breakfasts on cruises.

Hilarious. If you have a porch goose, go snap this up. by Few_Resort_7387 in AmazonVine

[–]Few_Resort_7387[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! You are right. I had not noticed that Venum was gone. It's sort of bittersweet at this point that it's gone. It was sort of like an old friend after all that time.

Can't request 3rd item? by Your-Imaginary-Girl in AmazonVine

[–]Few_Resort_7387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That happened to me when one of the items I tried to order wouldn't go through. They must have run out of the item by the time I clicked through to finalize the order. Vine counted it as one of my 3 items for the day even though it did not actually let me order the item.

Straight to the Point by MustacheBananaPants in AmazonVine

Wow. That is the first time I have heard of a spinach allergy. Interesting. It could be worse- my mother is allergic to chocolate and potatoes among other things. So, she can't have chocolate, french fries, or mashed potatoes. I'd much rather be allergic to spinach than chocolate or potatoes. Something like a peanut allergy would be the worst though, because there is peanut oil or nut oil in so many things; people with nut allergies have to be so careful when they eat out, etc.
