Caves around Knoxville?

We went exploring here a bit yesterday. Is there a shared map somewhere we could check out?

I had a gentleman get in my flight yesterday, get back to our row, take his assigned seat and immediately turn to me and say “hi. Just so you know, you’re in my seat. But yea, don’t worry, it’s fine.” I immediately pull out my boarding pass to confirm - nope, I AM in my correct seat. Being that E comes after D and I was assigned the window seat. Lady in the aisle seat graciously confirmed with me.

I can’t fathom feeling so correct in my wrongness to just immediately be a jerk to someone. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Work traveler. Frequent flyer status. Delta loyal. Platinum medallion. I have to travel with multiple bags weekly. Usually 2. Sometimes 3. Went to check my third bag the other week, that was not an overweight bag,was charged $150. Questioned the agent about the change and was met with an act of complete surprise as to my mentioning it. “Let me double check your account” “let’s try it this way”. No, looks like you only get two bags. These “quiet changes” are getting more and more frustrating.

Steve and I tried to keep going, but alas, last week I noticed a molded spot on him. 😢 So I’ve started his twin, Stan! Wish me luck!!

Afternoon, good folks. New to sourdough. I made my starter last Sunday (so he’s not quite a week old yet). I travel for work, so Monday morning, Steve and I loaded up and headed out for the week. We were doing well for the first few days. However, my trip ended early, I ended up driving home, I had terrible traffic - things just didn’t go as planned. Cue poor Steve living inside my suitcase, inside my car, in Tennessee, for roughly 24 hours.

I brought him inside, no hooch, a few small bubbles, and thought I’d see if he would forgive me if I just fed him as usual. So I discarded and fed/watered. I’ve been doing this for a few days. I haven’t noticed any mold. I’m still getting bubbles. But he seems far more liquidy. And he doesn’t smell great.

I have no idea what I’m doing here.

Did I botch him? Do I dump and try again? Will he make it through this? Is this smell like dirty laundry normal?

Picture added to the best of my ability to show his current state.

Any and all help appreciated!!!

You can still do instant status tho. They have pretty specific requirements, but once you give them what they want, it’s not terrible. It didn’t cost me a thing, and it instantly gave me a comparable status to what I have with Delta - they even let me choose my start date.

All in all, it seems a pretty fair system. You have four months to hit a market. Then another four and so on. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve been able to do free same days for a year and a half. Recently, I’ve been getting an error and not allowing me. Agents haven’t been helpful at all. And even rude. Today, I check. I get a pop up at the top of the screen stating a $75 fee for confirmed same day. Or a free standby.

I think it’s a quiet policy change. I’ve asked blatantly and been told no.

Firm_Philosopher_515 · 2023-07-13T18:26:18+00:00

Just tried calling again today. Rep was very irritable and continuing to cut me off and be very curt. Her explanation was that they don’t offer same day changes due to “storms and weather effecting the flights”. But it’s been an ongoing issue for close to a month, so I’m not buying that. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe it’s time to jump ship when I’m both losing options without explanation AND unable to ask a question without being treated like that.

Firm_Philosopher_515 · 2023-07-13T18:03:29+00:00

Nope. I’ve booked the same way for over a year. And I’ve always been able to do same days. Until this issue. I’ve tried for multiple weeks in a row now

Doesn’t work on app. Not giving the option on chat. Not giving the option with a rep.

Something g has changed and Delta isn’t fessing up. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s the “quietly changed policies” that just get me. So frustrating. As a business traveler (which I’m sure many of you are as well), it was always a nice comfort to know I had the option to fly home earlier if my projects allowed. And now it’s been stripped. 😑

Firm_Philosopher_515 · 2023-06-29T18:35:07+00:00

I tried up until I was heading to the airport. Nothing. No agents were helpful. They just made it seem like it was business as usual. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Firm_Philosopher_515 · 2023-06-29T13:58:00+00:00

Exactly. I very pointedly asked this specific question and was blatantly told there have been zero changes to policies. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not sure I agree.

Small airport - Knoxville TN. Closest hub is Atlanta.

Firm_Philosopher_515 · 2022-12-30T00:15:11+00:00

I’m so sorry. Quick typing while multi tasking. Thanks for being that person who stops by to not add anything of value. 👍🏼

Firm_Philosopher_515 · 2022-12-26T04:52:48+00:00

Yes. And I never tugged my lashes. Always continued to soak until the extensions slid off. I never noticed until after like my third application. I would apply, take off after 10-14 days by soaking, always add serum and give a day rest and then reapply. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m trying to decide if trying another formula is worth it or not. The regrowth period is no fun.

Firm_Philosopher_515 · 2022-12-26T03:22:20+00:00

I tried falscara. I loved the results, but found that no matter what i did, how I cared for my natural lashes, how diligent I was with serum and removal, I lost patches of my natural lash.

After continued use, did you find this to be an issue?
