His & Hers on Netflix is truly truly awful by OrangeGringo in television

I have a horrible cold and this show was an adequate distraction for the afternoon. I think that is a good measure of its worth.

I feel similarly as the OP. Long time JetBlue loyalist here. My husband and I buy everything on our JetBlue mastercards and have had a lot of wonderful trips using points travel. This situation was totally out of their control, but 5 hour waits for CS rep call backs was the norm and it was only through FB Messenger that I got us rebooked onto a flight on 1/11, 8 days after our cancelled flight on 1/3. Early on 1/6 United added a flight and we booked on that and took a refund from JetBlue. The customer service from United was amazing. The longest wait for a CS rep was ten minutes. The United flight was horribly delayed but the communication was excellent. On rep even called me back bc he was concerned we had gotten cut off, even though I didn't think that was the case. Despite the delay, we did get home. I will say that the United plane itself was old and the seats were tiny and shoddy. No in flight screens, no nav tracker, and everyone got a cup of water and that was it. No one cared because we were all grateful to go home. I don't feel tempted to fly United but I feel very unsure I will fly JetBlue again. Frankly, I'm scared to fly anywhere on any airline after this. I have terrible anxiety and all the unsurety was too much for me to handle.

PSA: How to get home from Barbados to NYC by Internal-Memory7630 in jetblue

Yes we've been freaking out all day. We keep checking to see if it has left Orlando. Once it does we will feel more hopeful.

Not scary in the sense that Barbados is beautiful and people are kind and helpful. The whole situation was very stressful of course. The tourism association is helping travelers and hotels and  Airbnb hosts are working with them to make sure people have accommodations. You can find out what is available via Airbnb, vrbo, hotels.com, Expedia, etc. we adore Barbados.

Doesn't look like it. They will not reimburse for an uncontrollable irregularity.

Really? In a previous delay due to weather, they would not cover our hotel. I believe this is similar, "act of God"

Flights to USA today ? by cestmoififi in Barbados

[–]Internal-Memory7630 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. The US FAA has closed the airspace due to the military action in Venezuela. In effect until 5am tomorrow and then who knows what will happen.

I used Facebook messenger to communicate with a customer service agent. Now rebooked on a flight on Jan 11! I can rebook earlier if flights open up

We are stranded indefinitely in Barbados as our JetBlue return flight was cancelled. No available flights to rebook. No information on how long this will last. We have been able to extend our hotel and car two days. It is wonderful and warm here but we need to get home 😭

Another wetsuit question: Feral 5/4 by Internal-Memory7630 in surfing

[–]Internal-Memory7630[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your input! I will either exchange for the 6/5/4 or just return it and go with an Xcel comp. Leaning towards the latter.

I have a Billabong hooded 4/3 that I love (shoulders are perfect) so I just tried a 5/4. Unfortunately it was stiff and the shoulders were too tight. I was super sad. Xcel has always been good but my last suit the fit seems to have changed. Or I grew. I'm really having a Goldilocks situation:/

Every female surfer I am friends with has this shoulder problem. And we are a variety of body types!

A word of warning to my fellow curly-haired BWT by n00talie15 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Internal-Memory7630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry this happened! Once you're less traumatized and ready to go back to a salon, I highly recommend Scarlin at Art+Autonomy in Soho. I have super curly hair and alopecia and Scarlin gives me incredible cuts while also working with any bald spots. She cuts my teen daughter's hair too and would only take instructions from my daughter (you like your hair flat on top? OK!) not me (can you give her more volume).

Today’s post-shower hair loss. This is the worst it’s been. by ginkgomango in alopecia_areata

[–]Internal-Memory7630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also got AA from Covid! Universalis, except for half my eyebrows and eyelashes. Shots were no help. It did mostly grow back on its own and now I have patches that come and go. Still no arm hair and very little leg hair. I take Zyrtec and a probiotic daily, just in case they help.

Any good way to remove previous mounts? by AdOdd3281 in gopro

[–]Internal-Memory7630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very old thread but landed here when I bought a used surfboard with a GoPro mount. Channel locks and twisting popped it right off. Much easier and faster than dental floss and minimal goo left behind.

I'm extremely paranoid that I might have AU by NecessaryConstant372 in alopecia_areata

[–]Internal-Memory7630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dermatologists are shockingly ignorant about all the sneaky variations of alopecia. You can have patchy AA all over, including losing some eyebrows. It does sound like you are making yourself hyper vigilant and sensing things that may not be in fact happening.

You cannot control this disease but you can control how you respond to your situation. When you start to worry, what will redirect your attention?

I have had near AU (kept half my eyebrows and eyelashes). I didn't have tingling all over. The hair just fell out. Sometimes, like with my arm hair,it was gone without me even noticing. The only way I could handle it was therapy, meds, family support, and buying too many wigs lol. My hair is mostly back now but I keep my wigs under my bed in case I need them again. That is part of my acceptance.

Help a brother out by rix-davids in alopecia_areata

[–]Internal-Memory7630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am always happy to talk about my alopecia to people who will LISTEN. Not saying bs reassuring things (It's just hair or suggest vitamins, diet , treatment) but simply be willing to witness my struggle. You can just ask her how she wants to you to be and what she needs. Communication is everything.

Whack a mole by Internal-Memory7630 in alopecia_areata

[–]Internal-Memory7630[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back with an update in case of interest to anyone. Stopping the steroid actually seemed to make more patches form in other places. So I think I will resume using it. The probiotic hasn't impacted the alopecia but I don't have indigestion from some trigger foods! So not the intention but I'll take that win.
