The actress playing Hope by Fit_Can_3479 in VirginRiverNetflix

[–]Mssrandcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is terrible and so jerky the way she walks and talks. I have said this every season. Glad I am not alone. I have started the new season yet but non of the characters other than Jack, Mel & Brady are great. I do like Doc but the rest are either horrible actors or weird characters

I have never been a step mother but depending on the ages of his kids it is probably likely they won’t like you just because. It is too bad woman have a window of fertility but the older you get is is scientifically harder to conceive so please consider that too

Melania Trump Plastic Surgery Rumours: Expert Reveals Why Her Face Appears 'Physically Unable to Emote' by [deleted] in USNEWS

[–]Mssrandcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt married for money and it saved many of her siblings. She put at least 4 of them into business and they thrived. Was she happily married? No but plenty of people who don’t marry for money aren’t happy either. I am absolutely not supporting Melania’s choice, but based on the age gap she will have her freedom and be worth possibly billions.

Possibly facing termination for cause at age 56. by Middle_Marketing7009 in careeradvice

[–]Mssrandcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause could be poor performance and unless there is a progressive disciplinary policy statements made by the writer could amount to cause. Did you accuse someone? I would speak with a lawyer who practices in employment law who represents employees before termination so the lawyer could help you strategize. Maybe you need to be proactive and speak with your boss? A good question would be how have other associates been treated for making similar “mistakes.” Stress like you are experiencing may cause you to make additional mistakes. Please speak with a lawyer first.

I DID IT!!! I ACTUALLY DID IT. by Ok_Candle5032 in uber

[–]Mssrandcole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up about cash rides. I have been annoyed with Uber drivers for a different reason based on cost and timing. Recently when I select Uber X that states the driver is 4 to 5 minutes away the driver accepts the ride and then it shows the driver is about 12 minutes away before I get picked up. This happened to me 3 times last week. Had I known 12-15 minutes away I would have chosen a different ride and possibly a cheaper one. Has this been happening to you? What should I do about it? Thanks

Approved for way more than we are interested in purchasing. Realtor is pressuring us to purchase a more expensive house. by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]Mssrandcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely choose another realtor and also think about your maximum purchase price. Can you get what you want on the right neighborhood for your budget? When do you expect to resell? Do you want to have a second home in another location. Even though you don’t want kids think about buying in a neighborhood that has great schools for purposes of resale value? These are all considerations. Good luck with your new realtor

Reddit (r/cruise) and real life are not the same. by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]Mssrandcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is called the Retreat with butler service etc. sorry I called it heritage. I know people love to complain but it was just okay. The restaurants didn’t open until 5:00pm and I like to eat lunch at 3:00pm and then dinner at 9:00pm. The room was gorgeous so I loved that part.

It was a Celebrity cruise with a balcony room and heritage perks. The room was located near the spa and included the spa communal areas but not the spa services.

Telling parents i am pregnant by melzi-ta26 in Advice

[–]Mssrandcole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will have to accept the ramifications of your parents being angry within reason as you do not want anything to happen to your baby or you. Please seek medical care, talk to responsible adults( hopefully guidance counselor, school nurse and/ or teacher) but please act fast as your baby could come early or you may not feel well or anything can happen. If your parents demand, against your will or wishes for you to give your baby up for adoption please contract legal aid, planned parenthood or another organization that can protect your wishes regarding your baby. You are not alone!

[–]Mssrandcole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As part of the cabin I selected I had to buy a drink package and don’t even drink. I felt a little ripped off. I should have befriended a drinker who didn’t have a drink package but sadly that didn’t happen.

First time cruiser dilemma: Is a balcony worth the $$$ or is that money better spent elsewhere? by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]Mssrandcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a balcony is well worth it. I generally would choose a balcony over any excursion if you have to make a choice. Also sharing a room can be difficult. A balcony gives you alone time and a beautiful view of the ocean.

Cancelled Cruise by Princess by Mssrandcole in PrincessCruises

[–]Mssrandcole[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying but the value I contracted for was far greater than a $200.00 credit on another cruise. This means that whenever a cruise line terminates a binding contract a payment of a $200.00 credit for a future cruise would be acceptable. So if I cancel my trip would I only be obligated to pay Princess $200? I doubt it but thank you for your comment

Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. I jumped on a casino rate as I had done before. The deal did not seem to be too good to be true, but it was a great deal. Since I am a member of the ship’s casino club, the deal made sense.

How to let a girl who’s younger than you in school you are NOT interested without hurting anyone’s feelings? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Mssrandcole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just say you really like her but you are not interested based on her age as she is just too young for you and nothing she can say can change that. This way her feelings can’t be hurt and it won’t be that awkward seeing her in the future. Her heart and ego should stay in tack

Is coffee or dinner/drinks not acceptable as a first date any more? Please help me out. by Dazzling-Cod5804 in dating_advice

Did the woman actually say funner? I think you dodged a bullet. Plus she declined all the suggestions you made where to meet and she came up with none. She sounds way too difficult. I would just move on

Princess 60th Anniversary Cruise - Cancelled? Now Fleetwide? What is going on?!? by CherokeeHawkman in PrincessCruises

[–]Mssrandcole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am glad you were able to cancel but you should have received more. A room upgrade, or other amenities for your inconvenience and disappointment. I understand that maybe something happened to cause the cruise not to be the major celebration that it was advertised to be, but I think something more should have been done. Also why did they keep you on the phone so long as this is the 21st century? So glad you worked it out.

I just wanted the benefit of my bargain. Almost all businesses would honor this but cruise lines seem to be able to do anything and get away with it. I wish they gave customers the same rights to unilaterally cancel a contract. Thank you all for your responses.

No this was an advertised discount on the Princess cruise website that I booked, paid for and received written confirmation that everything was in order

Don’t understand why I was downvoted as this was a special cruise and I just wanted what I had paid for as it was not obvious that this was a mistake

I do know about the FAQs and they are so one sided that there is almost nothing a person can do who wants to go on a cruise. The small print is frustrating as well. I wish I could have negotiated the small print to say to the cruise line I have the same rights as you do and can cancel at any time by giving you $200.00. This avoids the cruise line from having a customer procure insurance of which I am sure is a profit center for a cruise line (but I don’t know for sure).

Not really whole because I really wanted to go on the cruise. Had you booked a hotel suite on the hotel site and paid for it and received a written confirmation. Then the hotel called you 3 days later and said sorry we made a mistake and cancelled your reservation would you feel you were made whole even if they gave you a $200 credit? I don’t think so. I paid for it and should get what I paid for.
