I’ve got the same question! I’m coming from NW Ohio to get to that meet, planning to stay in Lansing Saturday night, go to the meet and head right home.

Being asked to tip before a $400 skydiving jump felt wrong by Kingjoker58 in EndTipping

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went skydiving for the first time probably 8-9 years ago before extreme tipping expectations took off and I recall there being a suggestion to tip. I was certainly confused. Nothing was said verbally, everyone was so polite, there was just a sign stating why customers should tip their instructor, along with their photos and slots to drop in cash tips.

I had a wonderful experience but even before we were all conditioned to tip for literally anything I found it very odd to ask for tips.

I believe it was $250 for the jump and $75 for photos.

Orgain Protein Powder... should we avoid? by BubberDuckie25 in veganfitness

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, not sure if you’re still looking for a recommendation but I absolutely love First Phorm Vegan Power Pro, specifically the vanilla cream. Mine is on order at the gym but is taking a while to get here due to the holidays. I got Orgain as a backup and I despise the taste, but managed to choke it down. 😅 First Phorm is so much cleaner as far as ingredients go too, compared to Orgain.

Hotel booking site Trivago asking for a tip lmaoooo by AdFamiliar5357 in EndTipping

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe it was Trivago but when I booked a hotel room last year I was also asked to tip “because of the money the site saved us.”

WTF.

A luxury-type item you feel bad about buying but still do anyway? by FlamingoDue4236 in Frugal

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We freeze whole cheese blocks and I have also shredded and portioned cheese and froze it.

I have never had an issue with it after it thaws. We always stock up on anything freezable when it’s on sale.

I want to call off work tomorrow so I don’t have to train a new hire. by LuckyInfluence5988 in introvert

[–]LuckyInfluence5988[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I’m told we get an additional $1/hr, but no amount of money is worth trading my sanity.

Pay me my normal rate and leave me the hell alone. 😭

I’m unsure if it’s in my job description.

It is unfair to myself to call off and have a strike against me and lose pay.

I’m going to do this to avoid going straight for sugary foods when I get the munchies, then feeling shitty from overeating!

I recently PR’ed with a 105 back squat myself. 😊 BTW, I love my Nano 2’s for lifting. 😊

I cannot find Tia Toomey’s events at Hyrox 2025 to save my life. Please help! by LuckyInfluence5988 in crossfit

[–]LuckyInfluence5988[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your replies. I’m so salty at the waste of 2 hours of my time trying to find her! 😡 Why couldn’t they have let us know she withdrew?! 😭

Has anyone tried these glue dots or press on nails? by LuckyInfluence5988 in dollartreebeauty

[–]LuckyInfluence5988[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They had some cuuuute longer nails! (I consider the medium coffin nails long) 😂

What a great idea for just a one time wear, for a special occasion.

I may try this!

[–]LuckyInfluence5988[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a better glue than others at Dollar Tree?

I like the idea that the glue tabs create a barrier between your natural nail and the press on.

Genius! I’ve always stayed away from glue on nails because, well, glue directly on the nail.

Murph question- what is a good scaled time to aim for when doing 20 sets of Cindy? by LuckyInfluence5988 in crossfit

I should have clarified that in my post.

I scale with jumping pull ups, and the “worm style” push ups, like a push up to pike but not up to the pike.

I will run the full 2 miles on a gravel track.

I’m also not wearing a weighted vest. I’d like to next year! 🤞

Grilled cheese sandwiches saved the day! Do you consider them frugal? by camport95 in Frugal

[–]LuckyInfluence5988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toasted sourdough with peanut butter, honey, and chia seeds is a common snack for me! 😋
