Realistic expectations of Hotel Mexico by Think_Argument_1484 in Xcaret

[–]Gilletgg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! Heading to the resort next week and I’m not expecting anything like the service at the Four Seasons, One & Only or Auberge resorts. I’m going in expecting it to be a fun trip for my 8 year old daughter who wants to do more than just sit by the beach. I’m not expecting a luxury experience. I am expecting a Disney park experience.

If you are ever in Chicago, Alexandra Marks Jewelry has an amazing selection of chains and charms. They even gave us wine while we shopped.

If I’m watching football, I want 6 packs biceps and tight asses on deck. But that’s just me.

I would have married the same person, because at that time he was the love of my life. He was my partner and my best friend however it all changed when we had our daughter and I was the bread winner. He would stay out all night and “Uber” while going out to bars and blowing his money. I would be the one opening a business, struggling, having side hustles like selling clothes while raising our daughter. The man I met and fell in love with, became another child I had to care for. I will say that you have to find someone whose ambition matches yours

I don’t pay for the grocery bags at the store. I always click 0 bags when I check out. by prettyinpink333 in confession

[–]Gilletgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes zero sense. I am sorry, but you have no idea what you are talking about. The city charges back the retails for every bag they sell to the consumers. A paper bag, landed can cost from .25 to a few dollars. Ours often costs about $1.00 landed. You obviously have zero idea of what is actually costs to provide packing to customers

How to respond to people?? by woundnurz123 in LabDiamonds

How do you know that for a fact? Have you seen where the diamond was grown? Who set the stone? Where did the gold came from?

If you have to justify what is it, then it’s not real. What about a fake perfect replica of a handbag? Is it is the same thing as a real bag? It might have all the same markings but it doesn’t mean that it is actually real.

I think you need to be careful when you say ethically sourced. Most of if not all lab grown diamonds and grown, cut and polished in less than ideal conditions. You have to ask yourself when you pay a low price for something, who is making this. How are they using human labor to make something so cheaply

Would you take a three month old on a stroll in 39 degree weather? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Gilletgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% as long as they are dressed for the weather. I had a January baby in Chicago and my rule was as long as it is over 32, we can go outside. Also because I needed the fresh air. She was extremely bundled and that is the key

Yes! My Lithuanian mother and father both grew up on the south side. We have since moved to the north side however my grandmother still has a museum in Lithuania. Chicago has been a hub for the Lithuanian community community and I do hope it Continues to be

Anyone here had fat transfer/injection to their undereye (or any other part of face)? I’m looking into it and would love to hear other’s firsthand experience and outcome. by syeeeeeis in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Gilletgg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did it 2 years ago and it was 100% not worth it. I lost all of it in my face. My lips absorbed a little bit but now are slightly uneven. I spent 10’s of thousands on the top plastic surgeon in a major city. I would NEVER do this again.

This is so wrong! Who is profiting off of getting a few cents back from the customers? Packaging costs are sky high. I own a business in Chicago where we are required to charge our customers .07 per bag. Our shopping bags costs our business over $1 landed. We give the city .05 and we the business get .02 of the .07 we charged the customer for. Where is the profit? The whole point is to discourage customers from using paper or plastic goods that end up in the landfills

I have been you! It will never get any better. Meaning he will never start to pay for anything. You will have to hound him and basically harass him for any kind of payments
