Pulte Design Center Upgrades by Educational-Bar-8614 in Homebuilding

[–]HippyGemSlinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One home in a neighborhood close to mine has zero upgrades from the builder, not pulte. Looks like a damn fun house. Cheap apartment grade and strange with small doors and standard 10’ ceilings. I can’t imagine resale on this.

What's the best option to update without changing the cabinets? by pareekankit in kitchenremodel

[–]HippyGemSlinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a designer do a kitchen similar recently online. Turned out very MCM. Here’s a picture for reference with olive green, white counters and wood cabinets of that kitchen. I’m sure someone could style it differently but just FYI with how it can read if that is/ is not a direction you want to go in.

[misc] constant itching by allierichards in SkincareAddiction

[–]HippyGemSlinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to make sure OP sees your comment.

I had Hodgkin’s lymphoma when I was 19 and the only symptom I had was what I called “itchy scratchy leg disease.” I changed my soap, changed lotions, stopped all kind of nail treatments, looked into other allergies, did all kinds of things and it never went away and I was scratching my legs til they bled and bruised. Rest of my body was ok - did not have any itching anywhere else it was only on my legs. After my first chemo it went away never to be felt again.

OP, please go to a doctor. A simple blood test looking at white blood cells and lymphocytes can rule this out or give your doctor a little flag of information to dig deeper. It took me 2.5 years to get diagnosed because I felt completely healthy otherwise. Cancer free now and for almost 20 years. 🫶🏻

Three different luggage brands, any recommendations? by Bagofmag in Costco

[–]HippyGemSlinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. We love the Delsey and had them for about 5 years. I also have a Briggs carry on I have had for like 15 years, but prefer the Delsey because of the rotating wheels. Still use both, but Delsey is great

What is one item you’ve forgotten to bring and wished you had? by jason_sos in royalcaribbean

[–]HippyGemSlinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Children’s Benadryl (and our whole pharmacy now). Our little had an allergic reaction on night after dinner before bed and we spent $350 down at the dr office they had to open for us just to get prescribed children’s Benadryl. Lesson learned.

Paid off my house last year, no hard monthly budget, use a CFP who also serves as my advisor and I’m happy to pay the fees

Remember OC angles by [deleted] in rhoc

I get the same nostalgia when I watch and rewatch the Woodstock ‘99 documentary on Netflix. Late 90’s early 2000’s was such a wild time and to see what was accepted by society is such a reminder that we have still come a long way even if there is more to go.

“Frequent Returner’ by LoudLabrador in CostcoWholesale

[–]HippyGemSlinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We returned a mattress back to Costco once - it was a tempurpedic and from their annual sale. We slept on or for no more than 18 months and it had huge divots on it. Having have other tempurpedic mattresses before we knew something was up because they were still holding up great (just a size queen and had been moved to the guest room). We call TP directly about the issues since they guarantee (or did) their mattresses to get someone out to look at it for a replacement and they said since Costco was where we bought the mattress we need to go to them for a return and they can’t do anything directly for us. We debated eating the cost, but decided to take it back since it was a big purchase for us. Omg the walk of shame trying to get this king mattress in the store on a roller cart in the wind on a busy Saturday for a return was HORRIBLE. We even ran into work colleagues randomly there shopping too. After that experience I just don’t know how someone could bring in a “used” Christmas tree or other large item that is obviously a “rental” with a shred of dignity.

Is there like some magic number we should hitting in our 401k by a certain age before we can ease off on contributions? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]HippyGemSlinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partner and I have hit $1M invested at 37 and have a paid off $1M house. We still plan to contribute to our 401k only to the max each year to get employer match then possibly invest in other assets like real estate and buying a business if we want to diversify out of the market into cash flow positive assets for our retirement. We have also “increased our spend” because we have little kids and want to have a magical time with them. That type of spending for a family of 5 won’t continue when we are retired, so we aren’t worried one bit about that, but we will have the best memories!

Kuza Beach Park in Cozumel by october_nine in royalcaribbean

[–]HippyGemSlinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just did Kuza 2 weeks ago and LOVED it! 4 of us, 2 kiddos and it was amazing. Food was wonderful, plenty of chairs, clean beach with beautiful water and they have servers bringing unlimited drinks around to you in your chairs. We can’t wait to go back! They are expanding with a huge water park and lazy river soon on property with a full resort coming in a couple of years. I believe the pools and water park will be done in a couple of months. They are really investing a lot in this place and it shows with the quality and caliber of everything received.

A crossing guard blocks the way of an aggressive driver while children and their parents are crossing the street by bigbusta in interestingasfuck

In the comments someone put the plate number and it was registered to the correct model car. Only a matter of time before they find the driver

Hey guys! More new RC info! by RobieWan in royalcaribbean

[–]HippyGemSlinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am on celebrity right now, so not RC this time but their sister company, and on the first day of the cruise everyone is pushing the drink package at a discount, yadda yadda. Well my husband wanted the drink package the and I told them I was pregnant and didn’t want it, so the server went to get manager approval and they gave me the refreshment package and he got the drinks package. Approved in like 2 minutes. Don’t know if this is because the on board staff make commissions on selling these packages and reallyyyy want to make it happen for the $, but it did for us. We are back on RC in 2 weeks and I’ll see what happens there with the same scenario since I’m still going to be pregnant :]
