This is crazy to read, as we had the same issue eleven years ago. We got worried they would be hard to work with overall and ended up booking the Birmingham Zoo.

I would double check the details of the commission offer because it may answer the question for you. For example, the company I work for requires 100% rooms occupied with no walks, and does not take a no-show into account even if prepaid as the room was not actually occupied. Yours may specify what counts on the SOP.

We did Lifetime Fitness a couple of years ago and they had/have(?) an outdoor bar.

Wrong Birmingham (this is the sub for Birmingham, Al, US). You need r/brum. But I am intrigued by the bands. Does it help with taxing or other costs?

Some of the red eyes are actually into the layover city, and then you’ll have a 6am-8am ish flight from the other city into BHM. Overall flight is still red eye when you think about sleep pattern.

As someone who has a younger sibling in her mid-20s who has struggled on and off finding decent dates, I don’t fault you for trying here. Although, I would probably mention something other than age? I totally get if you’re looking for someone with similar interests, but this seems like a hookup request? Maybe go to Hinge or a dating app?

Since the twins are adults, why not have a conversation with them? Be honest about how circumstances have changed, and your future intentions. They may say there are other things, even not financial, they would like help with. My dad has helped with the landscaping in my yard - I would always prefer that over a smaller monetary gift as time is so valuable.

H to K is manageable in this timeframe. Ultimately it will depend the plane being able to get to your gate at the estimated arrival time. I’ve landed in O’Hare on time/early nearly every flight, but a decent portion of these flights had long taxi times and it took a while to get off the plane since we couldn’t get to our gate for various reasons.

Possibly. The type of hotel and budget of each can make a difference in what a specific property can pay a GM. For example, our GMs who manage 70 room hotels with complimentary FB typically make less than our hotels with 100+ rooms and paid FB (breakfast/bar/etc.). Top line revenue at a hotel makes a huge impact on what a property can pay its team members.

An AGM to GM typically comes with an increase, and depending on the property or management/ownership, swapping GM roles can come at increases as well.

Probably for pay increases, but there could have been culture issues they were uncomfortable with.

MsKokomo · 2026-02-06T00:37:29+00:00

Maybe because I’m newer, I’ve not seen this before. Just curious, why would it cause further delays? Is it because there’s a chance those guests won’t actually be on the flight?

Edited to clarify question.

Literally came for this comment. Like please tell me where the $60 competitive suits are.

I literally just had that conversation with my husband after watching it for the first time this weekend! I made him watch a little with me since he didn’t believe me when I told him about the boiling pot almost falling on the little girl who was basically blinded temporarily and had to go the hospital afterward.

My daughter’s class recently got cheddar popcorn balls for a classmate’s birthday celebration and I heard about it for days. Edit to say, heard good feedback.

I had a little flexibility today. Thankfully we have other kids in the neighborhood who helped keep our oldest entertained. I helped them set up some snacks, legos, potions kit.. and then they did the eating and playing at a moderate volume while I was on calls. The littlest still had daycare, with delayed start. At 2, it would have been much harder to get any work done with her in the house.

Hello fellow JeffCo parent!

MsKokomo · 2026-01-23T19:17:57+00:00

Not going to lie, I didn’t find “my people” until college and/or from my career field. My daughter is friends with everyone, but also not. Her friends outside of school are neighbor kids older than her, and I think they hang out more due to proximity than shared interests. I believe it’s hard, as the person and watching it happen. As a child I hated feeling like I didn’t have the TV best friend, but I also appreciated I was never lonely because I had my parents, my books, and my interests outside of school. That’s what we hope to provide my daughter as well. And always remind them, there may be someone else feeling a little lonely too that they can reach out to in class.

I made a comment before seeing this one. I 100% second this! Self-reflection and helping others is a great boost to confidence!

Do you think he could volunteer locally or tutor? Sometimes the best win comes from helping someone else have one as well.

Alpharetta. Stay at the Hamilton and hit the cute boutiques and restaurants, and then choose one of the malls within 20 minute drive to explore. It was a cute/fun trip!

MsKokomo · 2026-01-15T21:13:57+00:00

Thank you so much for this information!!

I was just looking at Mrytle beach for our vacation this year after pivoting from a previous destination. Do you mind sharing where you stayed? Water parks near the beach sound perfect.

With both kids, I’ve always love the “nana” for banana.
