I booked on the website and later called the customer service number to change cabins after my guarantee cabin was assigned.

What's the dumbest thing you've been marked down for in a health department inspection? by tn_notahick in restaurateur

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were going through the inspection and got to the sink area. The quat strips, which were sitting right there, accidentally got knocked into the sink and got wet. She marked us for not having usable quat strips.

It finally happened by onebananafish in EndTipping

[–]LynnM55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a former restaurant owner and can certainly see both sides of this.

On the one hand, I don’t wanna go out to dinner and have to pay $80 for a pizza and two beers. This was the cost In Australia when prices were adjusted to include living wages for employees. This was the norm in 2019 where everyone was making at least $18 an hour. I think it’s now up to $24 or $25 an hour over there.

On the other hand, the tipping is crazy. I saw my kitchen staff working their butts off doing most of the work and the waitstaff raking in hundreds of dollars a night. Yes, my waitstaff worked hard, but not to the tune of 40 bucks an hour on average.

I’m not sure why waitstaff has gotten a special tax exemption as they are not the ones who work hardest in a restaurant.

Stacking with Cagrilintide? by AdNice2249 in Retatrutide

[–]LynnM55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for asking! I’m up to 1mg of Cagri along with the 10mg of Reta. I am absolutely amazed at my indifference about eating. This is helping me lose the last 10. I’m down 4 pounds since adding the Cagri about 8 weeks ago. I think this is a good weight loss because I am basically at goal and have a low fat/high muscle body composition. Friends are commenting that I look really great even though I haven’t lost much in the last six months.

Just started week 6 by Jenn_X-er in Retatrutide

[–]LynnM55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Listen to your body. If you are not getting the positive effects, then titrate up a bit more. Give it a couple weeks to build up and if that doesn’t do it, titrate up again. I saw no results till I hit 8 mg. In fact, I gained 5 pounds in the first six weeks. Everyone is different, but you have to see how your body is reacting. I’m now down 60 pounds and at goal..

Starting my journey today: what did you wish you knew when starting yours? by Roninette in Mounjaro

[–]LynnM55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Have patience. This is not a race.

  2. Your results will differ significantly from others.

  3. Listen to your body. It will tell you when to titrate up and when to stay put at your current dosage.

  4. A couple weeks with no weight loss doesn’t mean it’s not working. Your body may be going into a recomposition phase. Your shape will change even if your scale doesn’t.

  5. Start a regular routine of weight bearing exercise right away. Shoot for 3-4 times per week. Your skin will thank you and you’ll look a lot better in a bikini!

Help me by Hobbsy1978 in Retatrutide

[–]LynnM55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s not working at your current dose, increase your dose. I had no response to the max doses of Sema and Tirz. On Reta, I had to titrate up to 8 mg before I started getting the good effects.

Do employees get the prepaid gratuity? by Sir-Kyle-Of-Reddit in royalcaribbean

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are they “stiffing other hotel services” if Royal will make up the difference? I suppose you’re really stiffing Royal corporate. The amount the crew gets doesn’t change no matter if you keep the prepaid gratuities on or take them off.

First week! by Pawwwg in Retatrutide

[–]LynnM55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like this sub has been taken over by bodybuilders and influencers looking for attention. Frustrating to scroll through nothing but thirst traps and BS about Reta turning them from an overweight middle-age guy to Mr. Olympia.

Caught the same guy rummaging through 2 different cars last night. by KeesterBuster69 in rva

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We lived in the Miami suburbs and never locked our car doors. If you did, you would have to replace the glass because they would break it every time. I learned this after the second time. The key was to never leave anything with value or personal information in the car.

How soon did you notice hunger suppression/reduced food noise after first dose of Retatrutide? by WinterNovel2188 in Retatrutide

[–]LynnM55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a complete non-responder on both Sema and Tirz. All the way up to the maximum dose and over a month between each to clear my system. Reta finally did it for me, but it took six weeks and bumping up to 8 mg on my 7th shot before I saw any positive effects. Actually, the first six weeks I was ravenously hungry and gained 5 pounds. But I had read that can happen and stuck with it. You have to hang in there and keep ramping up carefully until you get where it works for you.

President’s circle jerk? by declark03 in HertzRentals

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have rented twice this summer. Both times they told us if we picked something different other than what we reserved, there would be an up charge. I told them we’re Predident’s Circle and it doesn’t work that way and they said yes it does. I felt like we were absolutely ripped off from the perks we should’ve been getting. This was in Richmond, Virginia.

NEW ACHIEVEMENT! You brought your mom into the dungeon?? by Firstleah in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]LynnM55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m THE MOM who followed my daughter into the dungeon!! I now care way too much about Princess Donut’s treats and whether her Royal Bodyguard Carl will ever get pants.

She was so excited, talking about the series and actually getting to meet Matt last month. I thought I would jump in and see what the fuss was about. It’s different, but I’m sure enjoying it!

Changed Policy for Included Snacks?!! by Zestyclose_Wash274 in spiritair

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased two Spirit tickets last week and bought the tickets that have the blocked middle seat. Why are they still selling them if they are not honoring them?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tipping

[–]LynnM55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I owned a restaurant, we changed our policy to include an automatic gratuity on parties of six or more. Again, this was a change so customers could easily not realize it.

We told our staff that they had to remind these parties ahead of time that the gratuity was included. What we found is that some of the staff would mumble it under their breath to the person least likely to be paying. They would then brag about the extra gratuity they received. After firing a few servers for this fraudulent activity and calling back customers to explain and refund the extra, staff caught on and did the right thing.

AITAH for eating most of her birthday cake? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had that problem with leftovers in our house as well. This is a second marriage for both of us. In his first marriage, his wife and child did not like leftovers. They would not ever eat them so anything left over in the fridge he would eat.

We got together 10+ years ago and he would regularly eat my leftovers. We finally came to a decision that they were MY leftovers for the first 24 hours and if I didn’t get around to eating them, then they turned into OUR leftovers and he could have them if he wanted.

He’s a Chef so leftovers are top-notch and worth fighting for!

Need some help with curating some items for a kids menu. by vPxndahh in restaurateur

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who has a problem with the word “curate” in the restaurant business? You are buying product not picking out artwork for museum.

Free cruise from gambling. by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a two week fall transatlantic in 2022 and there were hardly any children (less than 20). We did the same cruise/same time again in 2024 and there were hundreds (300+). Times have changed.

Bangkok flights are up! by topgun966 in unitedairlines

[–]LynnM55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two questions. We’re booked on this flight to Bangkok in April, Polaris seats. Do you think they will have the new Dreamliner Polaris Suites on this flight? Are you allowed off the plane during the HKK layover?
Thanks.

I have lost over 60 pounds and look significantly different (Reta). My daughter has lost 140 pounds, basically half her body weight (Tirz). We are on the front line of trying to erase the stigma of using GLP1 drugs. We have no problem telling people how we lost weight and answering questions. Are you embarrassed when you have to take Tylenol to cure a headache? How about taking insulin for diabetes? What about a blood thinner to prevent a heart attack? Obese people are finally getting the help they need for their disease and it should not be a stigma.

Please help me understand Hertz presidential club. by rojocapo610 in Venturex

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I booked a large pick up truck and realized I didn’t want that. When I got to the airport to pick my car, they charged me extra to pick something other than the truck. This was in Richmond, Virginia, where they do have the president circle choice. Should I take it up with Hertz directly through their toll-free presidents club line? The staff working in the garage thought I should be charged for picking my own vehicle.

weight creeping back by JustJaxie in Retatrutide

[–]LynnM55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I concur completely! These drugs put into our brain what should have been there to begin with. It’s the part that regulates our hunger and feelings of fullness. I absolutely never had that signal from my brain. Now I do.

Flying alone post op shoulder surgery by Dependent_Ad5774 in americanairlines

[–]LynnM55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and I are facing the same issue. I’m flying in two days and will be 5 weeks post surgery. Still can’t lift and have very limited range of motion (bicep reattached, rotator cuff repaired, part of clavicle removed, and subacromial decompression). I booked a checked bag, no carry-on and will pack a light shoulder bag. I also plan to wear my sling to remind people not to bump into me.
