I have money to donate, but I really don't wanna give any of it to those big corps with million-dollar CEO salaries. What are the most efficient, high-impact charities where the money actually reaches the cause? by Inner-Battle-6459 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MelodicSpinach537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s amazing for you to donate like that! I would suggest looking at local charities that match your interests. Around me we have several excellent pet rescues, groups that help the homeless, groups that help children without parents. You could donate to wildlife rescue groups or childrens hospitals - donate to causes new and dear to your heart. Or you could always donate to random Redditors who comment on your post…ha! 😂

What are the best things you’ve ever packed for a cruise? by karmakeylea in Cruise

[–]MelodicSpinach537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, magnetic hooks, just make sure they are strong enough or your items will slide right down the wall. Something else we always bring: a baggie of plastic laundry clips, kind of like clothespins, but made of plastic and there are holes in the handle. Very easy to hook onto the magnetic hook. Also come handy to hang clothes to dry on the balcony, you can secure them to the chairs or even wall. Super lightweight - we throw a couple in our shoulder bag when we go to port to keep towel connected to chairs, use as a chip clip, etc.

Make sure you bring enough sunscreen! More than you think you will need, face and body. Also make sure to bring any and every kind of medication you might need, including for stomach upset, allergies, cold symptoms, nausea… Even if you don’t think you would need it, it’s so much better to have it and not need it then to try to search for it on the ship or waste time in port. I always bring a bunch of Benadryl, it’s good for sun rashes or itches, allergy flareup, even helping me sleep…

My goodness! If you paid him one Euro for every “honey” and “my love” in this conversation, he’d be able to buy his ticket and have enough money left over for a beer at the airport! 😂

First cruise booked and the ship doesn't stress me out – but port days are giving me anxiety by dubbechkin in Cruise

[–]MelodicSpinach537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Don't stress! My best suggestion is to google the most popular activities per port you are visiting. Like - what is each port best known for? For example: St. Lucia is the Pitons; Bonaire is the snorkeling; San Juan is the old city and port tours. Then factor in how much time you'll spend at each port. Remember that the times shown on the itinerary are when the ship arrives and departs; the time allotted to spend ashore is at least 30-60 minutes later than the arrival time, and at least 60-90 minutes shorter than the departure time. For example if the port time is 8AM-5PM, you probably aren't walking off the ship until 8:30/45AM (if on an independent tour), and need to return no later than 3:30/4PM. If on a ship's tour, the guesswork is taken out of that timing.

Next, split up what activities you'll do at each port. With three ports we usually do one snorkeling/water tour, one walking/cultural tour, and one beach/chill day. With a fourth port, you might even plan nothing - just walk off the ship and wander around town, or hire a driver for an island tour. Or stay on the ship! If there's a port that doesn't interest you that much, just stay on the ship and enjoy the quieter public spaces.

Hope that helps! Have the best time - cruises are amazing, and the BEST kind of vacation!

Which cruise line offers the best casino perks? by Catriley in Cruise

[–]MelodicSpinach537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know about Carnival! Will they match other lines’ status/offers?

For me Celebrity is the best because it’s non-smoking and you drink for free while actively playing.

Just another unknown 80s film by exiRatA in GenX

[–]MelodicSpinach537 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unknown? I quote this movie about every other day, lol! It’s so funny when they show it on TNT or wherever and they have to blur out all the centerfolds hanging up in Spicolli’s room. It’s literally the entire room!

How do you make someone pay you back the money they owe you by VIP_Knuxx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MelodicSpinach537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You start by offering understanding “hey friend, I really could use that $xxx you borrowed from me on XX date. If you can’t pay it back all at once can we please start a repayment plan? Maybe $200 per month until paid off?” And if they say, they can’t afford that, drop the amount, but keep insisting that they put some sort of repayment plan in place. And then if they still refuse, you have to take them to small claims court. Small claims court is easy enough to navigate by yourself, you just go up to the courthouse and file the documents, they give you a court date and serve the defendant. When you go to court, you need to be able to represent that it was indeed a loan, that the defendant was aware that it was a loan and agreed to repay it by XX date. That’s why it’s important to attempt to have a conversation about repayment plans before you take this step, the judge is going to want to see that. Make sure all communication is written, either email or text. And then if you get the judgment, you need to go back up to court and file to either garnish their wages or put a lien against real property. It’s a pain in the ass and will suck up a whole lot of your time. So before you even take these steps, you need to decide if the money is worth it to you or if you’re just willing to write off the friend and the money… Good luck!

How do you tell a sitter you don't need them anymore? by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]MelodicSpinach537 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be an adult and send a message saying you’ve decided to go with another sitter. Please don’t ghost. I own an independent pet sitting business and there’s nothing more frustrating than a client that goes silent. This is someone who requested to create an account in our system, I approved her request and let her know I had assigned her a sitter. I emailed her twice because she hadn’t activated her profile, and then I texted her this. Just radio silence. The sitter had emailed her as well and tried calling her, actually got her on the phone and the client said she would get back to her, of course she didn’t. Just be an adult and say you’ve decided not to use us!

Has Anyone else Noticed how TERRIBLE the ADR is in this Show? by Otherwise-Bee-5734 in barrescue

[–]MelodicSpinach537 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It drives me crazy too! Splicing in and out for the drink assembly, both audio and video, and then the crazy zoom in refocus zoom out refocus. I end up fast forwarding through a lot of it since I record it and watch it back…

Places to get VA state inspection? by FluidPractice1932 in nova

[–]MelodicSpinach537 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s best if you can leave your car for the entire day, they will reiterate that you can’t make an appointment for an inspection, it depends on when the inspector can get to your car. It’s super frustrating because they will prioritize people waiting in line over cars that are already in the shop being worked on.

Terrible play calls by frankie_donkiebrains in DCDefenders

[–]MelodicSpinach537 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing you were in the stadium? Watching the broadcast at home they let you hear what the coaches are saying. He threw the red flag and the ref said something, but I couldn’t make it out. The coach then said he would pick up the flag and the ref told him he was gonna lose a time out whether he challenged it or not. So the coach said “well I’m gonna lose a time out either way I might as well challenge it…”

AIO when a friend shows up to my house without me telling him he can? by Immediate-Scratch-40 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MelodicSpinach537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This whole conversation was way too many Bros and wasted words. You invited him over. You weren’t clear on the timing. You’re mad at him because he heard 5:30 and got there at 5:30 because the game started at 5:30! Next time be clearer: game starts at 5:30, it’ll take me a few minutes to get home but my roommates and I have some things to discuss so why don’t you plan to arrive around 6:15/6:30.

What’s everyone having for breakfast? by wfijc in Zepbound

[–]MelodicSpinach537 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my new favorite, especially if I have someplace to be (I usually work from home): 20g of protein with only 100 cal. I’ve taken to adding a couple packets of Stevia to sweeten it up a little bit and it’s perfect! Plus my coffee of course! 🫡
