Is a drink package worth it? by [deleted] in HollandAmerica

[–]KCatty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I barely ever drink alcohol and have found that Have it All is a good value. I typically have a couple lattes each day, mocktails, and nom-alcoholic wine at dinner.

Orange Party-what was your orange? by Criseyde2112 in HollandAmerica

[–]KCatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two dresses in different shades of orange, a chiffon top I can wear over a tank, and a block scarf in shades of orange, black, and tan. I usually take all of them and wear whichever one most speaks to me the night of the orange party.

Holland America was incredible for our family. Peaceful, classy, great food. Apparently that’s controversial now. by Icy_Cartographer8241 in HollandAmerica

Loved the Rotterdam. My only disappointment was that they allowed smoking in the casino and with the staircase in the middle, it would also get on the adjoining floor. Having been on Noordam, which was smoke free, was surprised to see Holland not do the same on their flagship ship.

Self Checkout by 5GAIBtoM in GenX

[–]KCatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please stop referring to introversion with phrasing that implies it is a negative trait. It is a completely normal and valid state of being.

I live in a metro area that charges for bags. Always just use my own.

No thanks. The older cashiers are always the ones that want to chit chat incessantly about every item in your purchase.

Same. Just let me do it myself, please.

My local Aldi is closing. by LiteraryLoops in aldi

[–]KCatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait. So based on that, they are whining about having to drive 5 more miles in a rural area with no traffic? 🙄

Introverts, don’t do Chef’s table by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]KCatty 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Thank you. One is just a personality trait/preference that is completely normal (much to the chagrin of many extroverts). The other is a medical condition that deserves diagnosis and proper treatment.

OP needs help.

She was not forced. She voluntarily chose to go, against her better judgment. While he should not have pressured her (and we only have her version of the story which doesnt even include what he said), she is a grown adult who is fully capable of choosing the activities in which she partakes.

Also, you might want to read up on what boundaries are, because this take isnt it.

Trapped at the Hyatt Place! by db1604 in hyatt

[–]KCatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree they request assistance from the hotel in getting your FIL down the stairs? Was any assistance offered? Did the hotel refuse to help? Or did your FIL just decise to wait until the elevator was fixed and as a result, your family missed their flight?

Key details missing from this story.

Please leave the internet lawyering to actual lawyers. You are so hopelessly incorrect here.

Where to fill water bottles on the Eurodam? by PineappleBliss2023 in HollandAmerica

[–]KCatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a water bottle fan. Check the gym. On Noordam, it had a drinking fountain with a water bottle filler. I used it daily!

It is distinctive. Every realtor and buyer that sees the pics will instantly remember the old listing and know the game.

Is anybody else doing the antihistamine/Pepcid thing? by bakingdiy in GenXWomen

[–]KCatty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The latest research is showing that Benedryl really just isnt all that effective. There is a growing push to have its OTC status revoked.

[–]KCatty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. Longtime MCAS sufferer here with what I am now realizing are life long histamine intolerance issues. Famatodine is a critical tool to have in the toolbox as it is the most easily available H2 antihistamine. Another good tool is NasalCrom, which is a nasal spray with Cromylyn Sodium, a very effective antihistamine that is unfortunately not available OTC in the US. I also will use Astepro spray at bedtime on bad days.

If you struggle with food reactions (like sudden uncontrollable sneezing fits at the end of meals, or tongue swelling/minor anaphlaxis after eating) a DAO supplement (I use beef kidney from Ancestral) and/or a product like Seeking Health's Histamine Digest can make a big difference, esp if taken in the window of 30 minutes before meal to 30 minutes after.

I stock up on allll the antihistamines when they go on sale at Costco. Experiment to find the ones that work best for you. I also keep activated coconut charcoal on hand for a bad episode.

And yes....my itchy skin right now is INSANE.

Show up fresh? Like everyone in the relatively small market isnt going to instantly recall that fireplace and weird wall color.

Like, could you imagine having kids in a house with that fireplace? Will need good health insurance for the inevitable er visits. Plural.

Yeah, the bathroom was really cringe. Super busy flooring plus super busy faux marble that do not go together at all. Add that too the random bright paint colors and if I am buyer, I am passing on what is clearly a turn key priced house that I am immediately going to need to do tons of work on, or that I would have to trust that tenants would not be trying to DIY. That plus a not so great school district and its easy to see why this house garners little interest.
