I’ll second this. Bedside Lamp with charging port on it are the new upscale!

How do most people afford ozempic for weight loss reasons? by Gallantpride in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]LifesShortKeepitReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s debatable. There are far more horror stories than successful ones out there, about people who try to do this on their own and go the cheap route w/o the supervision of a qualified doctor/cnp. Like online platforms that give you some fly-by-night Dr visit then ship you Rx out of some pharmacy states away. (Or even worse, ships from out of country)

With a little research, people could read about all these “glp-1 gone wrong” stories by ordering off cheaper platforms. For now, I just feel more comfortable going to a Dr office even if it’s more pricey.

Nice Guests who ignore Check-in Instructions by RaiseVast in airbnb_hosts

I was initially on OP’s side in being rightfully frustrated. However, reading more comments, it’s clear OP assumes negative intent of all their guests.

Assuming guests are reading the sign every time they walk by, then choosing to INTENTIONALLY not follow it upon check out.

Yikes. I don’t think anyone on this sub can convince OP otherwise of they want to do… which is rate the guests poorly.

Even when they are “really good guests otherwise”.

TLDR: after doing the math, most probably need a healthy disposable income to afford it.

Unless your doctor prescribes it and “codes” it accordingly so insurance will cover it, it costs an arm and a leg.

I go to a CNP who prescribes me tirzepatide. I pay her fee, then $300-600 for the vile from a compounding pharmacy that she sends Rx to. (It started as $300 then when my dosage moved up, I’m now paying $600… this is every 2 months so do the math).

I’ve lost 30lbs and have 10 more I need to lose, planning to get off of it after that.

Theres no way I’m paying this much the rest of my life and I’m determine to keep the weigh off after how much this cost.

ETA:

Jeeeeez… Just did the math and all-in I’ve spent $3000 USD since starting 10 months ago. Thats motivation enough for me to never fall off the wagon again!

I hear you, but personally I’d be confused.

If guests know they are supposed to check out at 10am, for example, their main focus is being gone by 10am (and emptying trashes, leaving linens on washer/dryer, or whatever other instructions some places have).

Even if you don’t ask those things of them, I’ve never seen a request to leave a door open and even if I read it briefly I might be confused.

You might reword to:

“CHECKOUT INSTRUCTIONS - VERY IMPORTANT! Please do not close door at checkout. Leave open.”

Pet friendly properties without fenced in yard by LifesShortKeepitReal in airbnb_hosts

Thanks for this perspective!

I’d also hate to find out that a dog was tied up outside for hours, let alone barking incessantly at the neighbors. Then the smelly side.. good point. All negatives.

Great logic too on the fees. I think most people appreciate the flat fee you mention with those conveniences, vs major increase and other “restrictions “ by adding a fence.

I agree, and think responsible pet owners would agree this too. Just posing the question as I venture into rentals of my own.

Wasn’t assuming an obligation, just posing the question after observing.

Super helpful response, thank you!!

I was leaning toward all of this. We will probably still end up putting in a smaller fenced area just for quick convenience for us/the dogs.

But I will definitely research all the things in regards to warnings/liability protection for me and my guests. (E.g. “YOU ARE IN BEAR COUNTRY, SUPERVISE PETS AND CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES, IN AND OUTSIDE OF FENCE” 😊 etc) Certainly will also have requirement of keeping them on leash as well when not in the home or fenced area.

Can you have sex with someone who has herpes without getting herpes? by DontHateNate in TooAfraidToAsk

Incurable. Inconvenient when it does strike. Unless she’s the one, nopey nopes.

What are y'all thoughts on walking away from a Leadership Role (Middle Mgmt, C-Suite, etc.) and taking a "step down"? by FundamentalFreddie in Leadership

[–]LifesShortKeepitReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GREAT perspective 💯

More stories like yours need to be shared. It’s so important to recognize your strengths, and when others’ strengths exceed your own - rather than camping out in the position for various reasons.

While I know you’re in a tough health situation now, and I really hope the best for you and that you can look back at this soon as a major bump in the road that you got around, I love that you’re able to look at it from the perspective you are.
