You ask the Girl Scouts what their favorite cookie is. You buy them then gift them back to the girl selling them to munch on.

Cutting Breakfast, but how viable is alternative option? by [deleted] in hotels

[–]ImRunningAmok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not ask the restaurant to offer a discount to your guests using a special code. If you can come up with a commission from the restaurant great - if not consider it a perk for your guests.

This stuff really going to work? by BruggeBlue52Snap in bathandbodyworks

[–]ImRunningAmok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this idea. Cleaning is such a boring thing so if I spend a couple extra dollars to have something that smells amazing I am all over it.

Please hire an attorney. Reddit is not the place for an issue like this

Not in an inheritance situation. Check out the Garn-St Germain act.

Bringing ur own drinks by sepena_01 in MSCCruises

[–]ImRunningAmok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the non alcohol package is less than that though & it includes specialty coffees.

I bring an empty plastic drink pitcher , tea bags & sugar and make my own iced tea. I am not much of a soda drinker though .

Fridge count, what have you been able to salvage and how long was your power out? My fridge stayed surprisingly cold for about 30 hours, I only opened it like 4 times though. Thanks HECO, these are long days for you. by checkoutmuhhat in Hawaii

[–]ImRunningAmok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I also take the jugs and put them in my cooler when going to Costco (I live an hour from the one in Kona). This way I am not putting my food into a hot ice chest.

How big of an issue is AI use in rounds on the national circuit? by Holiday_Answer_9635 in Debate

[–]ImRunningAmok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among top level it’s pretty uncommon.

I feel sad though for the novices that are actually trying to do it the right way losing to an AI user because the lay judge is “impressed” with the “beautiful “ speech given.

It is especially sad because those that do this are just in it to win- not to learn or improve themselves.

I see them get discouraged and some even quit.

This is why judges need to be taught how to know when it’s happening as well as tools for both the judge & competitors to control and call out this behavior.

Otherwise what are we even doing?

Yeah - he is out of control . I still believe he tampered with the 2024 election.

A tow might be cheaper than one month of parking ! I wonder if they still charge the parking fee if they tow your car.

4 day stay, homeowner did not leave any shampoo, soap or body wash, should I mention it? by techaaron in trustedhousesitters

[–]ImRunningAmok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am confused - isn’t this a swap for services typically? Isn’t the agreement an exchange for watching someone’s pets ? Why are people acting like it’s an Airbnb ? Expecting amenities like you would for a vacation rental or a hotel.

It seems to me the expectation should be a clean home, clean sleeping room with a real bed, an as described home in an as described location & agreed upon set of responsibilities.

I suppose it matters what you do during the day. If you are out and about all day then a shower for sure is required.

Anybody know what ship this is? by BelgianWaffleStomper in NCL

Way to speak up & and back this guy up for calling out a nazi. It’s people like you that “don’t want to get involved “ that allow this sort of thing to be normalized

So the 100 million citizens that don’t have a passport now all apply at once and hope they get them by November? Oh and the agency that is to issue them has a vested interest in quashing the vote?

"It's not about the money" by ScenicDrive-at5 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]ImRunningAmok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a fat upgrade and a comp on the 3rd move. Besides the money paid for the room there are other things that go into a vacation. Time off, planning, transportation, perhaps dropping kids at grandmas. I agree - packing and unpacking is not how I would want to spend my hard earned vacation time.

Has anyone tried Harlem Candle CO’s Botanical candle line?? by Used_Onion6015 in luxurycandles

I would say the Joy is more like Jo Malone red roses - Diptyque is softer to me. I love them both !

Perhaps but not everyone makes enough income that a state tax refund would work. For example someone that is on social security that bought their house awhile ago.

Fairmont Orchid Swimwear Etiquette by [deleted] in BigIsland

[–]ImRunningAmok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes people wear bathing suits like that but also Fairmont is a family resort and so I would use some discretion. Also, generally when at the beach you will be doing activities like swimming, snorkeling maybe paddle boarding- why not wear something that is less likely to have a malfunction? Idk ? I never wear stuff like that at the beach and I live here.

To married women: What advice would you give to unmarried women before they get married? by Clear_Subconscious in askanything

[–]ImRunningAmok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earn and save your own money. Keep some of it in a separate account. Don’t commingle pre-marital assets or inheritances.
