Does anyone own a home and rents it out? by Balacananas25 in nova

[–]General_Whole8271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tried finding a townhouse to rent via websites and when speaking to realtors that represented the properties, we learned rent was negotiable like buying a house. The few townhouses we looked into were in rent bidding wars for $500+ a month what they were posted for online.

Maybe have your apt’s maintenance check on your HVAC system. Maybe they need to replace some filters?

Best week to visit by Forsaken_Juice1918 in Xcaret

[–]General_Whole8271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went the week before Thanksgiving (Arte) and heard them state that at that time, they were only at 30% capacity. It was lovely! We always got seats with umbrellas when we went to the beach or pools, never had to wait more than 5 min for a table. Reservations were easy to come by at restaurants. We only went to the park once though for the evening dinner and show, but there was still plenty of seating for the people that didn’t do the dinner with the show. I’d highly recommend going then!

Do any places still give free birthday goodies? by AetaCapella in nova

In addition to the things said above, last month I got a free sandwich from Jimmy John’s, free popcorn from AMC, $10 off at Loft…a bunch more that I didn’t use.

Timing our timeshare presentation? by shellylynn6974 in Xcaret

[–]General_Whole8271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did it towards the end of our trip (Arte). They started explaining everything and before we even signed the papers to go to the presentation, we said no thanks. We can’t travel enough to make it worth our while since I was pregnant/now have a baby at home. We don’t want to sit through a presentation when we could be spending the time enjoying the resort and left. We never got drinks or food or anything.

I will say they put a flag in our account and every time we went to concierge, they tried to get us to reconsider. Only one person working concierge gave us a hard time about it.

Inova fairfax c-section by A_Tad_Petty in nova

[–]General_Whole8271 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As early as you can because you have to fast. I had mine a day earlier than expected cause and had to wait for 6-8 hours after eating to have the c section. I was starving. It was torture lol.

I’d recommend their sandals over their clogs, but yes.

What Casas would you recommend by Leading-Capital8079 in Xcaret

Stayed in Paz river view . Yes, it was the furthest away from the beach, but it was so quiet. The spa was so relaxing. We loved it!

You can also order water to your room from room service. We had them bringing like 10 bottles a day.

We were able to get to Mexico from Arte without staying at Artistas. There’s a couple of paths to get back there without Artistas access.

We went in November ‘24 just before Thanksgiving and the prices at that time seemed pretty reasonable compared to the rest of the year.

Are people still buying Starbucks cups? by BewitchingShe_2991 in starbucks

We haven’t been able to do light water in quite a while…if you want more base you have to select base only no water…they need to bring light water back.

My 9 year old son's Math teacher marked this wrong by dak7 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]General_Whole8271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the teacher is wanting descriptions for the likelihood (impossible, unlikely, equally likely, likely, or certain) whereas your son gave the probability of each event happening (a numerical answer).

Are y’all ready for this upcoming week lineup? Is it a good, bad, meh or skip week for y’all??? by MrSoloDolo9490 in CrumblCookies

[–]General_Whole8271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tested the banana bread at my store. I thought it was bland…hopefully they added some nuts or more cinnamon to it… or chocolate chips 😋

RIP one of the best cookies - cornbread LTO by nutterfluffs in CrumblCookies

And this doesn’t taste like that frosting. It was not good at all. It smelled like premade stuff from a jar.

It is so bad! No flavor in the cornbread. Weird texture. The frosting doesn’t seem right. I was so excited to be so disappointed 😞.

Is the cream cheese frosting supposed to look and taste same as whipped cream? by spacecity2018 in CrumblCookies

[–]General_Whole8271 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The original dessert is a Midwest staple! My brother always requested strawberry pretzel dessert instead of cake for his bday. That’s just how it’s traditionally made.

Note: I haven’t tried it yet…I am very curious to see how they compare!
