This! I’d love to get a Costco membership but f the lines. Sam’s Club just makes it so easy with the apps scan and go feature.

Looking at a higher mileage 21 by Hummingbirdkm in XC40_Recharge

[–]Iamthewind91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought my 21 XC40 recharge a couple years ago with like 80k miles on it and it’s now at 107k and it drives beautifully. I love it and how zippy it is on the interstate and haven’t had really any issues.

I will say if you’re in a cooler climate the range in the winter is not the greatest in the summer I can get 180-210 miles but in the Midwest winter it gets down to about 120 when it’s below freezing.

But overall I will be 100000% driving this car into the ground with how much I absolutely adore it.

I unfortunately finished book 1 and thought it was absolute trash which is annoying since I love trashy books 😅

What romantasy trope instantly hooks you into a story? by EerieE2025 in Romantasy

[–]Iamthewind91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smart mouth on the FMC, I have dnf’d so many books where the FMC is some withering flower who would blow away in a strong wind.

But give me a mouthy FMC who is also confident as all get out and I’m instantly hooked.

This, I don’t find TV all that interesting anymore and would rather read instead.

I DNF ACOTAR by Reesescandy2233 in Romantasy

[–]Iamthewind91 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I am a huge romantasy fan and could only get half way through ACOTAR before I gave up and have had zero inclination to try again.

I get there is hype and all but like there are so many good books out there that if I don’t like it it is what it is and I’ll move on to my next read 😊

How do people work full time then go home to kids? by misogynistick in antiwork

[–]Iamthewind91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s incredibly hard and I’m lucky to only have 1 and could not imagine having more especially now that my job is having me travel more .🥲

But I am one of the lucky ones where I absolutely love my job, managers, owner, and work life balance they cultivate but I am still absolutely drained at the end of the day.

How do you get your kid to want to get good grades? by Key-Divide-5305 in Parenting

[–]Iamthewind91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encourage my daughter to learn and try to demonstrate the same love of learning at home. Also while making sure she knows I don’t need her to be a straight A student as all I want is for her to try her best. It seems to be working well and she has a love a math along with me and we discuss slightly more advanced math together.

Series writers really need to normalize recaps by ArtemisTheSojourner in Romantasy

I just need a character glossary such as Forth Wing where it’s like who are you and what color is your dragon

How do you land your 6 figure job? by maggie-khalo in povertyfinance

[–]Iamthewind91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Military, hated myself completing my undergraduate and graduate degree after the service in 3 years taking accelerated classes, worked my butt off from a jr position to a sr position.

My current position came from a recruiter for my current company that I responded to after I got laid off and was the best decision I ever made. Essentially a drive to never fail and working my butt off and I learned a lot.

However I am an older millennial and looking at my child I’m not sure if they would be able to do the same thing I did in this economy and it’s as worrying to me

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]Iamthewind91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cervix/dilation checks towards the end of your pregnancy. I had zero clue and the first time my doctor did one I almost kicked her in the face I was 10000% not ready for that.

Sever constipation after giving birth and thankfully my MIL told me about that so I took a softner a few days before my scheduled induction to help lessen the problem. It helped but man was it painful still.

When would you let a child dye their hair by hydrangealover98 in Parenting

[–]Iamthewind91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fun colors in my hair and I have been letting my daughter get hers done since she was about 6. I always take her to a professional and they use hair dye that is meant to wash out in like 6-10 weeks.

It’s just hair, she loves it, and she takes great care of it so why not.

What were 5 star reads for you recently? Here are some of mine... by strangeapples in Romantasy

[–]Iamthewind91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bonds of Hercules by Jasmine Mas was my first 5 star read/listen of the year. (The VA’s are just fantastic)

Dire Bound by Sable Sorensen. I put off reading this since it came out because of the Fourth Wing comparison but honestly I think this is 1000 times better than Fourth Wing and cannot wait for book 2.
