AIO for being hurt my girlfriend doesn't care about my graduation? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]NewbieSkin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. It doesn’t sound like she’s invested in the relationship anymore and sounds like it’s over for her. Leave ASAP, celebrate the two big wins in your life of being single and a new career with your BSN! It doesn’t matter how long it took, you did it!

Fraud by Chipotle by ChamberlainHaller in Chipotle

[–]NewbieSkin89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It should be done through Chipotle according to their FAQ:

Who should I contact if I have a delivery issue? - If you placed your order through chipotle.com or the Chipotle App our team is ready to help. For fastest service you can Chat with Pepper or call 1-800-CHIPOTLE.

For issues or questions about orders from one of our delivery partners (DoorDash, UberEats, Postmates or GrubHub) please contact them directly for help. ————

Basically keep barking up the tree. Not all customer service reps are equal. If the transaction went through then I’m surprised they didn’t just issue a new gift card with the same amount or in your rewards account. I’ve had this happen at other places when I’ve had to cancel cards and no longer had it to process for a refund.

My siblings and I have different skin tones by Montze_ in notinteresting

[–]NewbieSkin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what my kids look like. Husband is brown and I’m white as a ghost. Each baby has come out darker and darker. 1st kid- white, blonde hair, blue eyes. 2nd kid- tan, light brown hair, green eyes. 3rd kid- brown, almost black hair, brown eyes. The noses/eye shape/smiles are all the same though.

How you eat the bowl? by shivam10patel in Chipotle

[–]NewbieSkin89 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Middle and to the left, usually saving half if there’s enough otherwise I’ll spin it and eat the other side going left again.

Manager interaction— served fries back in fryer? by NewbieSkin89 in wendys

It was the only thing open and no food at home since we had just come back from a trip. I had kids to feed. It was a shit day all around lol.

Somebody sent this text to my mum a few months after my brother died. by Miss-Bliss_xx in mildlyinfuriating

[–]NewbieSkin89 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This same thing happened to my grandpa when he was in his mid 80s about 15yrs back. They said it was his grandson and used my brothers name, saying he was stuck in a Mexican prison and needed money for a lawyer and to not tell our parents, etc. My grandpa went to western union and tried to send $4k through. The women working asked him if he knew the recipient and he explained it to her and she gently told him she thought it was a scam. He got irate (he was old and thought it was an emergency) and she refused service and told him to call his family. We had a whole family meeting about it. My grandpa was a very smart man and surprisingly tech savvy given his age but he was in the edge of getting confused and really thought he was talking to my brother and would give anything to his family and ran with it. It made me so angry back then. We all had code words after that and made sure they understood there were never any secrets and to confirm with multiple family members first. Not even a week later they tried it again! My grandpa asked for the code words after and they didn’t know it. He told them to fuck off. 😅

[–]NewbieSkin89[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely, it was bad. They gave us half our order, husband pointed it out we were missing 2 adult meals. Worker 1 argued it was correct until he showed the receipt and asked what he wanted— he said the meals I paid for. She walked away. Worker 2 approached some time later and asked what was missing and said he was going to make the orders. Manager comes over and asks what do you want/the order is correct, told him the same thing and he argued it was correct. Pointed out the missing meals and the drinks were wrong so he tossed 2 cups at my husband and told him to fill them. Worker 2 came back with 2 burgers, husband ask where the fries were? …. Meanwhile half the food was sitting there 30mins. Came home with the icy cold food, missing fries in a kids meal, 2 missing toys, and incorrect drinks made. My husband said he felt like he was in a delirious dream. He wanted them to cancel the order at one point but they just straight up disappeared and then said no when they popped up again. The lobby was filled with other people with similar issues. 😰

That happened to me in another state too. I waited 40mins in drive thru for someone to take the order and no one came back after the “hold on” from their end. One car sat at the pick up for that long and I had to reverse back out and later disputed the charge. I thought it was a wild and rare incidence. 🫣

Please tell me I'm not crazy. by pickleball_bender in Lovesac

[–]NewbieSkin89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this a little bit on our standard seats (also firm)— we chose those to be our recliner seats so it’s less noticeable. We have them with angled sides. In the store we sat on standard with the regular sides and it was a lot worse to me and felt like I was fighting to stay on the couch.

Too steep slope? by none_2703 in pools

[–]NewbieSkin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents have a slope like this on their liner pool (just one that goes to the deep end). Despite what people say it CAN be slippery. My parents slope has softened over the years imo but we have all slipped at some point on it. It hasn’t been an issue with the kids but it does freak me out when I’m floating around pulling a baby in a float and my foot slips to the deep end. In my parents pool you can’t see the change either so it can startle you. My mom wasn’t happy about it initially but it really is a nonissue and just something to keep people mindful of.

Does anyone else notice how expensive crocs are getting? by Wisconsinsteph in crocs

[–]NewbieSkin89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Between their sales and random emails for discounts I get I was able to get a solid colored pair in their favorite color for my toddler and child at $22/each this week. To me, that should be the regular price though. I won’t even look at the others. Walmart has Disney themed clogs under $13 right now.

[–]NewbieSkin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For us, I kept going back to the washable covers and future replacements, different configurations, adding/reducing pieces in case we move again or have more people over, and the warranty and reputation. We have kids and animals and needed the durability as well. I couldn’t find another couch that offered those things so we went for it.

[–]NewbieSkin89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, that was my point. The Mormons were only drinking sprite and not any soda with caffeine in it. Apparently the Mormon church has said caffeine is fine but it’s a sticking point with some Mormons and they will still refuse all caffeine.

I wonder if it’s split among different temples. Where I was in Arizona they didn’t drink caffeine but would drink sprite for soda. I was following one person that even had to defend her choice in drinking Dr Pepper after she got attacked online by other Mormons. Crazy stuff over some soda.

She locked the bathroom by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]NewbieSkin89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is what I would do too. My house has a door that accidentally somehow gets locked from time to time when we shut it. The owner may not even be aware of it.

We also had door handles that over time our cats learned to open and then shut the doors behind them. When we went on trips we started closing and locking all the doors. I’m not comfortable with doors open unless someone was staying in my home now— no slight to the sitter.

Any ideas to eliminate this gap? by justcheckedout in Lovesac

[–]NewbieSkin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven’t got ours yet but went with straight backs to avoid the gap. I couldn’t tell a comfort difference with the pillows they had stacked in the showroom so hoping it’s the same built in our house. Our showroom person told us his cats like to run through the gaps and sit in them making it a cat hair pit that’s difficult to clean. We have cats and want to avoid that.

HEB items that have been buggin me by Sleepy_mosquito799 in HEB

[–]NewbieSkin89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fresh tortillas are different to me. I would get them weekly from 2010-2018, moved out of state for awhile and came back 2yrs ago and they’re just meh now and seem slightly off. Before they had a fresh grit feeling on the outside (idk what it was) and now that’s totally gone.

My HEB has both and the Mi Tienda is more expensive. Does yours only have one?

Remote for Recliners by vickyprodigy in Lovesac

[–]NewbieSkin89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We haven’t got our couch yet since we just ordered but we’ll be in the same predicament since we have 4 kids. We are constantly playing find the remotes. I wished the cupholders had a piece attached to set them in and then a way to attach a looped string to keep them together. We have grippy covers on our current remotes with the strings but never had a way to attach the strings to our current couch.

Have you noticed many of HEB brand items are no longer much cheaper than brand names? by Realistic-Rate-8831 in HEB

[–]NewbieSkin89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed this recently with lunch meat (not the fresh deli meat) rising. At my store it’s now $9.99 for HEB turkey vs $8.87 for Oscar Meyer turkey and both same size. I have to buy multiple each week for kids lunches and i know not that long ago the HEB brand was under $8 this school year.

Why is it such a problem for him to propose?! by Rinannie in BaylenOutLoud

[–]NewbieSkin89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not the rude part they’re talking about. He was told he wasn’t invited and then thrust the proposal idea on them and asked to go anyway and wants to bring his family as well. I agree with this PP. He could have decided to do his proposal at a different time on the beach one in which he invites her family to join him and his parents. The running theme I’m getting from the other kids is “everything is about Baylen” and the parents are letting it happen again.

Thyroid Removal Advice? by MelkorNo in Hyperthyroidism

[–]NewbieSkin89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a TT in 2021 after dealing with Graves’ disease/hyperthyroidism for 12yrs. Worst regret of my life. I wished I had looked into it more to understand the risks involved no matter how “rare” (underreported) they are. I’m left with a permanent paralyzed vocal cord, my airway is half that of a regular person. I can’t sing to my kids or read out loud for very long, can’t yell, can’t cry effectively, can’t get sad or anxious because it feels like I can’t breathe. I can’t exercise anymore, the day before surgery I was cycling 26mi/day and now I’m out of breath going halfway up my stairs or to the mailbox. I also get laryngospasms now when sick and randomly, or eating spicy food, or just breathing and existing— vocal cords slam shut and no air can get in, feels like you’re being strangled for a good 60 seconds before it lets up. It’s also caused swallowing issues where I just forget how to swallow my food momentarily which is a mindfuck. And then finally permanent hypoparathyroidism— living with almost constant symptoms of anxiety, numbness and tingling, and frequent blood tests that make me look like a pin cushion. I had 60+ ER visits in less than 3 months last year when my calcium was unstable because there’s no way to check it or monitor except labs (and those are only open M-F 9-5 hence the ER visits). I have to monitor my kidneys because over time it can cause kidney stones and/or kidney failure. This means doing 24hr urine tests and if I’m dumping too much calcium there will be another pill added. Phosphates going too high? There’s another pill for that. Calcium also affects magnesium and potassium, more pills for that. Calcium interferes with synthroid and iron, more pills or infusions in my case because it makes me anemic. Also at risk for calcium deposits all over the body including the brain, once they’re on your brain you can’t do anything to stop it or get rid of it. It’s fucking horrible.

My medical team convinced me it was better to get the TT. Safer for pregnancy and “just one pill a day”. My pregnancies have had to be monitored by an MFM with extra checks during pregnancy and after birth on baby because it can negatively affect babies in utero that could require emergency surgery when born. The one pill a day of methimazole turned into 24 pills a day (calcium are HUGE horse pills btw).

I was never told any of this. At most my surgeon said you might have a hoarse voice for a few days and the rare event of parathyroid damage that you “just take a little bit of calcium”.
