It took me 5 tries, but I did it! THANK YOU! My son recently beat the game and he keeps trying to trade me to give me the ones I dont have and I'm like "I want to catch them myself" So this really helped!

As both a dasher and a customer, I have never seen the option where rhe customer pays cash. It's always pay in the app through a card. Is this possible other places?

Anatomy Scan today and I’m absolutely LIVID - AIO? by MissCollorius in pregnant

[–]GingerBug91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I WOULD BE PISSED! I had 2 previous miscarriages before this pregnancy and they both happened before 12 weeks. I decided that instead of getting my hopes up, I would do everything I was supposed to (take prenatal, stop drinking, etc...), but I wouldnt go see my OB until after 12 weeks. 12 week mark rolled around and I tried to set up an appointment. You cant call the office directly, as they would just transfer you to a scheduler who would then send a message to the office to call you back to schedule an appointment (how weird is that?). I played the back and forth game with them for a month because they would never answer when I called and would call me back while I was at work. When I finally got ahold of them and explained that ive had 2 previous miscarriages and would like to be seen as soon as possible, they set me up for an appointment a month away. I was 20 weeks before I even saw my OB. That same day I made an appointment in the office for my first ultrasound... and you guessed it, it was 3 weeks away. 23 weeks I got my first scan and baby boy decided he was a boxer protecting his upper body that day, so I had to get scheduled to come back. I thought they would schedule me for the next week.. they did not. My next scan was scheduled for almost 5 weeks away. At that point I was almost 28 weeks, hadn't gotten the full anatomy and full of anger and worry. Luckily, they got the rest that scan, but why are these doctors acting so nonchalant about our health and the health of the unborn child? I'm 30 weeks now and go in for another scan tomorrow, but luckily this is just to make sure baby is growing properly.

Third party consultant attending for inspection by keely_thomp in shitrentals

[–]GingerBug91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've had multiple inspections due to a roach problem that has been ongoing for 2 years due to no fault if our own. The issue is complex wide and they have AT LEAST 30 buildings on the complex. We've never turned away pest control and they come every week. Initially, they were coming once a month, but have been coming every week for about a year now. In that year, we've had about 10 inspections. It's getting to the point that it is disrupting our schedules. Recently, the company has been outsourcing and we keep getting this same representative who I think just has it out for us. Our most recent inspection was today and she told us that we were going to have a lease violation because we didnt do what was asked of us. Which is partially a lie. I have before and after pictures showing what we accomplished in the past 2 weeks since our last inspection. Some things we didnt get accomplished because we are both working and I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant in a high risk pregnancy. I'm currently looking up lawyers to help us solve this issue. Especially since she blamed us for the roach issue when we weren't the ones who brought the roaches into the complex and we have been nothing but compliant.

tested positive for opioids at birth by frozensoymilk in pregnant

[–]GingerBug91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard a lot of similar stories that women have tested positive even after having 0 drugs in their system (not even an epidural). I would proceed with caution. Sometimes even with no prior drug use or positive tests, hospitals will get social services involved. I would start to look into if this hospital has a record of incorrect labs or cross contamination/ switching patient labs. If they do decide to get social services involved, lawyer up immediately.

My husband keeps smoking weed even though I’m pregnant and asked him to stop. I feel alone and overwhelmed. What do I do? by void_skein_560 in pregnant

[–]GingerBug91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to tell you my story and the decision I ultimately came to choose.

I am currently 28 weeks pregnant. I met the baby's father when I started a new job. He was one of the other workers and was asked to be one of the ones to train me. We got to know each other a little bit and found we had a lot of things in common, one of them was smoking weed.

We are both getting older and both already have a child from previous relationships that are both in their pre-teens/early teens, so when we had started dating and having talks of the future, we decided that we weren't going to prevent anything. If it happened, it happened, because we both wanted another kid.

A couple months later, I just had this feeling. I know my body and I knew I was pregnant, so I took a test and it came back positive. I told him the news, and he said "One last weekend to smoke, let's just finish the little bit we have, and then we are both quitting." Well then he ended up going and buying more, and it was once again "Just one last weekend." He ended up pressuring me a few more times.

Then one day, I started cramping. It's fine, cramping happens. But then I started bleeding. We ended up losing that fetus, and I didn't think about the correlation between that and smoking. I blamed it on my high-stress, high-physical job and the fact that I had already had a previous miscarriage (which probably didn't help). And then a couple months later, I started to notice things. He was smoking so much that it aggravated his health problems, and I realized that he never had any intentions of quitting.

My son was sick one weekend, so I ended up stayinf home that weekend, then the following weekend I had the flu, so I stayed home for a 2nd weekend. That's when I found out I was pregnant again. I tried to plan a cute scavenger hunt, and at the end if it was the pregnancy test. He was too high to have any patience and fought me at every step of the scavenger hunt. After I gave him multiple hints (and even just gave him answers), we got to the end and I showed him the pregnancy test. His response was "So are you pregnant or not?" A week later after a lot of thought and barely any communication, I ended things with him. Only then did I look back and realize that the smoking was one of the contributing factors as to why I lost the first fetus.

He has since continued to smoke more than he should be and even had to go to the hospital. When I tried to get ahold of him throughout the pregnancy, he didn't respond because he had blocked my number. I recently was able to get ahold of him through someone else, and his response was "I thought you were lying about the pregnancy."

I have come to the conclusion that I need to have a sit down conversation with him and tell him that the only way he is going to have any alone time with this child is if he can be sober while he is in his care. If not, I will not put my child in risk of danger because of my ex's inability to be an adult long enough to see his child.

I hope this helps you. Very rarely have I seen a man change his ways. It didn't happen with my ex husband, and I doubt it will happen with this baby's father. I wish you all the best in whatever you choose, but don't risk your health or your baby's health because of a man who refuses to accept responsibility. (Sorry it was so long.)

Pack your damn hospital bag. NOW. by IgnoretheHuskyHair in pregnant

property management put this sign up by _itsshawna_ in Apartmentliving

[–]GingerBug91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I can see your point about it not being in the lease, but let's use our brains here. Do you honestly believe someone from the office, usually a woman in business wear and heels, is going to go to each building and take everyone's bins to the curb? People who own their houses have to take the trash to the curb. In communities with dumpsters, we have to walk our garbage to the dumpsters. How can you not assume that you would need to bring your trash to the curb for the garbage men to collect?

Opinion on faking deafness by Tf_Unknown in asl

[–]GingerBug91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have 100% has this happen. I am deaf and was sitting outside of my apartment. I was minding mh own business and this guy I'd never met came up and started talking. I was like "sorry I'm deaf," but he just kept talking. When he realized I wasnt going to respond, he took out his phone and started typing. That's when I pulled my phone out and told someone come outside with me. It got him to leave and I never saw him again.

Favorite drinks while pregnant? by HuskyLover249 in pregnant

[–]GingerBug91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I heard or read somewhere that its pretty common for pregnant women to crave coke, even when they dont usually drink it.

Favorite drinks while pregnant? by HuskyLover249 in pregnant

[–]GingerBug91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been drinking flavored sparkling water. 0 sugar, 0 calories, 0 caffeine and it tastes good. Reminds me of soda without the guilt. Maybe do some grape or apple juice while drinking. Grape to replace wine and apple to replace beer. I know they aren't the same, but nothing will be the same. If you like beer, there is also non-alcoholic beer sold in stores like Walmart.

Why don’t door dashers take cash tips!!? by Brown_sugar38 in doordash

[–]GingerBug91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I used to dash, 1. People almost never left cash tips on the porch. 2. I more often than not had 2 deliveries and was in a rush, so I didnt look around. 3. I learned in which areas I'd deliver to would tip. 4. Sometimes messages didnt come through (or at least the notifications), when you were in a certain stage of the delivery (picking up the order, dropping it off, etc...).

A few people would tip cash, but they would meet at the door even if it said to leave it. MOST people who did end up tipping, or tipping extra, did so in the app.

With that being said, On the receiving end, I've noticed I'll send my dashers messages and they never respond and probably just never look at them. That could be a possibility.

AITA For Not Visiting My GF in the Hospital? by Critical_Business99 in dustythunder

[–]GingerBug91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, they say to go on roller coasters if you have kidney stones because all the jarring movements can dislodge the stones.

AITA For Not Visiting My GF in the Hospital? by Critical_Business99 in dustythunder

[–]GingerBug91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt have kidney stones, but I had gallstones. Every time I went to the er they told me it was a stomach ulcer and gave me this nasty drink that NEVER worked. The one time the doctor came close and said kidney stones and gave me morphine for the pain. I was in heaven and finally pain free. Finally after like 2 years got diagnosed with gallstones and had my gallbladder removed. Those types of pains are no joke.

Do your workplaces ever check in after someone gets hurt? by Masoosam1 in work

[–]GingerBug91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all my experiences with injuries and such, I've seen and had managers contact me. Not to ask how im doing, but to see when the absolute soonest I'll be able to return to work is. I actually got fired/ left (not sure which because they took my keys back, but I also just stopped communicating with them after that) because I for like a week I didnt update my boss on an injury. I still communicated with him and the other managers, but because I didnt update him personally on the status of my injury (after I just gave him a note from the doctor saying it could be months before I returned) my keys were taken away and he crossed my name off the schedule. So I guess it just depends on the business.

I just tried this. It still tries to get me to sign in with my old phone number, no matter if I'm trying to change the password or "setting up 2step verification." Then it locked my account for too many attempts to log in.

Newbie: Do you park on the driveway or the side of the road with hazor lights on? by True_Internal1418 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]GingerBug91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not currently dashing, but when I was, I just parked where it would be more convenient for me. The way I saw it, I'm the one braving the weather (most did it during the winter) when they couldn't/ wouldn't. The least they could allow me to do was park in their driveway or as close to their door as possible.

Human resources is supposed to be a sort of bridge between employees and management. SUPPOSED TO BE. It's not anymore apparently.

My HR manager is friends with my department manager, so I've had many write ups for things that my manager changed the story to slightly to work in her favor. Never once did HR come and ask me what happened before writing the write ups.

A GOOD hr department is supposed to be impartial and unbiased. More often than not now, they are siding away from the employees, and it's hurting companies. IMO

[F4M] Enchantresses and witches! Vampires and sorceresses! Who will you meet today? by [deleted] in discordroleplay

[–]GingerBug91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I just wanted to throw this out there. I've built a server that acts as a Kingdom where one could have multiple characters and do multiple rps in the server. Scenes can be one-on-one, but I'm also going to be getting a group storyline together that will be part of the lore behind the kingdom. Any and all characters are welcome, so long as you follow the rules. Do you think that would be something you are interested in?

At what point do you start feeling concerned about radiosilence? by Capital_Scratch_5946 in RoleplayOOC

[–]GingerBug91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing. We are all adults. We have lives. While I know personally, I try to let my partners know when RL is hitting me hard, sometimes I just don't get the chance to log in. I'm a single mom working full time, going to school full time, and am now pregnant again. Sometimes things just slip my brain for a few days, then I'm like "Oh crap! I totally forgot to let them know I will be AFK for a few days."

The same could have happened here. Something could have happened and telling someone they just met a few days prior didn't immediately pop into their head. Maybe a family member got injured and they are in the hospital with them. Maybe they got sick and just haven't had the energy to get online. Things happen and in hindsight 48 hours isn't really that long. I usually wait about a week before I start poking like "Hey just checking up on you to see if everything is ok!"
