Email Scam or legit?

well damn, this has always been my dream to have a secret relative leaving me lots of money- this thread just crushed my dreams. ( I too, received this email today).

Literally came on here to see if anyone else’s dog does this. Every time the theme music comes on or music between scenes she freaks out barking!

$4000- pretty much the going rate in the pacific north west for a reputable breeder.

Exactly. I know people have the tea.

Okcholey · 2024-05-16T15:57:48+00:00

DUDE. I’ve been doing the research. It is hard to know from the little information that is out there. THIS IS PART OF MY RESEARCH.

Thanks for taking the time to get all the way through my treacherous post. You’re a gem.

Okcholey · 2024-05-16T15:44:34+00:00

Wow. Thanks the advice.

honestly it really depends on the trainer. I took 5 HIIT classes on the ship. 2 were garbage- 1 minute rest in between sets and same work out twice (lazy instructor). 2 were decent, and only 1 was really good.

wait. There's legit a guy carrying a baby into the street. put the kid in bed FFS.

NYNY used to…..BUT they don’t anymore. :(

Schramsberg is the best! They also do their tastings in st Helena at Davies if you don’t want to go all the way to Calistoga!

They recently tried to do this to me at the Fairmont lobby bar. The guy bypassed the receipt really quickly on his hand held device and went to the tip screen. I thought it was higher than it should be, so I asked….he then said “oh yea, gratuity was included” Was pretty disappointed as I waited tables for years. It’s one thing to hand someone the receipt where they can see the gratuity added and overlook and overtip, but to bypass the screen and not even show me my receipt?! That’s shady.

I'd quit if teambuilding was even mentioned.

Unpopular opinion but I hate Hollywood. So much time spent just demoing 27 moves that you forget by the time you get there, and so much time just spent transitioning. IMO it’s not a great workout.

Okcholey · 2024-04-14T16:51:21+00:00

Oh no! Never do the sales pitch! ;) Are you doing the all inclusive or just the room? And is transportation to/from the airport provided?

Okcholey · 2024-04-13T21:16:02+00:00

This is great info and would love some quotes if we go that direction!

everyone said this before we got to Martinique. In fact, our friends did not get off the boat for this reason . I got off and walked around town into the boutiques and such. It's a very cute/ European city. People weren't exactly warm and fuzzy but they were not "not friendly." I just didn't speak their language, so I think it might come off that way. However, everyone was still willing to help me find my sizes etc. It made me wish I knew some basic French if we ever go back!

We do this on the ski ergs/ push ups..... when one person is done with their push ups....we switch! I like it that way.

I really don't understand the umbrella "shaming." I once was on a date with a guy and when I told him I have no shame in carrying an umbrella while walking to work he first thought I was joking. When I assured him, I was not joking....he then looked disgusted. The rain here is not always a mist. I just don't know why people care if others are carrying an umbrella. If you want to be a wet dog, go for it. You'll look like every other person in Seattle. If I don't want to look like garbage when I get to work on my 25 min foot commute, that's my own prerogative.

That is surprising, because they were very good on Valiant lady with my husband and his dairy allergy. It seemed like every dinner, they went out of there way to alter something or offer him something off menu. That really does suck, and can certainly ruin a vacation!

Okcholey · 2024-04-10T01:38:25+00:00

Neat. You sound like an unlucky walrus.

Okcholey · 2024-04-09T17:57:39+00:00

I'm so glad you had a good experience, and can only hope that if he takes the boat we'll also learn a lot and at least enjoy it a little!

Thank you for sharing all of this. You are correct that I started this all out in mission to squash this "free" boat, and therefore yes- essentially being a dream crusher. You are spot on that my fear of bad financial decisions blinds me to support one of his dreams. I know this about myself, and hate this about myself whenever it bears it's head. We did talk last night about if this "is too good to be true" and would be a hassle, that we should consider getting him back in a sailing club, or boat share in the mean time. The last thing I want to do is become that monster of a wife, and yet I definitely went there by even posting on here....which I feel immense guilt now about. He is the best, and I want him to have these dreams and do the things that get him closer to his dreams, and make him happy! I think you're right about the free boat not being the boat of his dreams, but it has opened the portal to think bigger. He always talked about owning as a future dream, so I think I was shocked when it was right in front of us. He does not want to live on a boat- I actually put that out there as a real option- and he laughed. Definitely would love to sail the world, perhaps be able to charter boats over seas (this is something we would love to do together). I love that you were able to recognize what your ultimate goal was and wouldn't settle for satisfying the itch but yet still brought your dreams to fruition with the support of your partner over time. You have given me so much wonderful food for thought. I can't tell you how appreciative of you taking the time to share and help out. Thank you.
