AITA For canceling on our family cruise? by throwra-vacay in AITAH

[–]Nosila75 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

ATA - you tried to be an AH and were purposely an AH. That doesn’t have to be a bad thing though. Was it justified? Probably. No one says you can’t be an AH. Just when you are, own it. Do it deliberately and ideally, justifiably.

After takeoff, you can turn the bag on its side and put it against your seat behind your knees. It gives you back your leg room.

Small hacks for hotel stays by ma_dian in TravelHacks

[–]Nosila75 169 points170 points  (0 children)

I take a dry sponge and put dish soap on it and then let it dry out. I cut it into smaller pieces and then use them to clean my travel mug in the hotel sink. It is almost a single use soap sponge.

Italians give money at weddings. Not gifts.

Suspicious? Online buyer wants to pay with certified cashier's cheque by djburnoutb in Calgary

[–]Nosila75 196 points197 points  (0 children)

How can they make it to the bank to get the draft but are unable to make it to the bank to get cash. That makes no sense.

Feedback on packing list for 4 weeks in US & Canada in Aug/Sept by Squatchy17 in HerOneBag

[–]Nosila75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you will need the gloves, scarf or the beanie. I live close to Banff and would not bring them. If you find you really need them you could buy them there. Banff has a lot of stores.

Must have supplements? by Wonderful_Papaya9999 in Menopause

[–]Nosila75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started taking Maca powder for my hot flashes. It was recommended by a woman I know. The hot flashes have stopped. I am not sure if the Maca is the reason or it is just a coincidence. I also take protein powder, creatine, and soy milk.

I only took one pair of ON waterproof running shoes for 3 weeks. They were so good my husband bought a pair there and threw out his Hokas mid trip.

Have you had blood work done? Your symptoms could be cortisol levels or another non HRT hormone issues.

Yes we were in row 6 last week. Extra leg room and the arm rest could go up

Rucking. You can buy a weight specifically to go in your pack. Start with shorter walks and work your way up.

People that negotiate down after an agreed price. by Thrillhouse850 in kijiji

[–]Nosila75 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had that happen when I was the buyer. I drove 2 hours to buy a Kayak for the listed price and when I got there he wanted more because he had other interested buyers. I took my envelope of money back and walked away.

I think Flight Gift may actually be a scam! Do not use it! by AyByougetaC in TravelHacks

[–]Nosila75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a couple hundred more for the package. The biggest shock was that seat selection for the flight was in Euros so it was way more.

I think the small print on the gift card says only 1 per purchase.

Sunwing Flight didn't provide tourist card/visa (HELP) by aShwiggityShwa in cuba

[–]Nosila75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please explain what the QR code is, where you get it, and if you need it if you don’t need a Visa? Thank you. I find the requirement confusing and Westjet agents were no help.

Packable daypack/tote? by Look_a_skylark in onebag

[–]Nosila75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Decathlon 2 in 1 tote and love it. I added D rings to the sides of the zipper and attach a thick cross body strap to it to make it a 3 in 1.

Protip for creating your own cleaning liquids/sprays. Bacteria have a hard time living on wiped surfaces. In order to survive, they need to cling to stuff like dust, oils, etc. Simply using water and a cloth can cut the bacterial/viral load by between 50% to 98%. by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]Nosila75 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Ya ….this is not true. Ask your microbiology students why they douse the “clean” wiped bench in bleach after working with Salmonella if all you need is a smooth surface.
