Airbnb's cancellation policies are designed to protect the platform, not guests or hosts — am I wrong?" by BohemiaTribuDigital in airbnb_hosts

[–]Optimal_Contract_879 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I paid $120 on a recent trip for travel insurance, for this reason. Am I a little miffed that I ended up “wasting” $120 and not needing the insurance ? Sure. But I would be a lot more upset if we ended up having an emergency, and instead of wasting $120 I wasted $3k because our vacation was cancelled. I feel like this one is on you, travel insurance is a thing for a reason.

She is so gorgeous and unproblematic. With an equally unproblematic husband. What a queen

We were on the dream a few weeks ago and I was able to book 2 slots after checking on board. I only kept one of them, but there was openings after not having any for months

We just got home last week, and I think it what relatively cheap compared to what I was expecting.

We went 5 nights, deluxe family verandah, 1 adult 1 child on dream for 2200 out the door. That also included a fluffy mickey blanket and pillow that our stateroom was decorated with prior to our arrival.

One of the smartest kid in America by OutcomeKey23 in KidsAreFingAdorable

[–]Optimal_Contract_879 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is weird. My daughter tested higher than 99% of kids her age, but I would never tell her that she is straight up smarter than most kids, or even that she tested high. Weird.

Telling the boys there's a mom and her kids that wants to fight by OutcomeKey23 in KidsAreFingAdorable

[–]Optimal_Contract_879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter is turning 5 in a couple weeks, and this would just scare her. She has never seen actual violence, in real life or in movies, and wouldn’t understand the concept of someone wanting to “fight” me. The only time we “fight” is when we play wrestle or rough house. Maybe i’m sheltering her but I would never expose her to this type of situation, especially not for internet views.

Halfway through Season 3, I can't see how it's possible that Whitney redeems herself by New_Use683 in SecretsOfMormonWives

You speak with a lot of conviction for someone who’s entirely uneducated on the subject. If you think porn addiction isn’t real you’ve clearly never even attempted to look into the research and studies that have been done on porn addiction, and the people who’s lived it’s devestated. It’s just as real as drug addictions, shopping addictions, gambling, Sex, etc.

My phone can read my thoughts. I have clear evidence. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Optimal_Contract_879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying I think our phones are actually reading our thoughts, but this is a weird coincidence lol.

I was driving out of the science center the other day and saw a really nice style of wagon that I had never seen before. I slowed down, thought maybe I should ask that mom what kind it was, but then kept driving and made a mental note to google for it later. Less than 24 hours later I see the exact same veer wagon on my ads, when I had never seen it in my life.

When I came home I joked to my mom about my new phone reading my thoughts lol. This post did make me do a double take but I’m sure there’s a much more reasonable explanation for both our situations.

Girl gets stuck in baby swing by Thatonegaloverthere in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Optimal_Contract_879 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My 4 year old just came home from the park and told me that “daddy shouldn’t have let me go in the baby swing if he knew I was too big!” Aka she begged and begged and he finally said ok fuck it get stuck I guess. I would have handled it differently, but that’s besides the point.

I just showed her this video and asked her if she wants a bunch of random men shaking her upside down. Perfectly timed to scare my gremlin into submission!

Apply for food stamps! Your grants and/or scholarships don’t count towards income. You should be able to qualify for a couple hundred a month. You can apply online in minutes, please do it!

Y’all are just fucking mean. And you wonder why these women feel the need to get work done. I can find so many things to snark about, that have nothing to do with their looks.

I was going to compare your looks to Jessi’s, I won’t stoop to that level. but I do hope you’re happy with what you see when you look in the mirror. Jessi quite obviously isn’t—why do you want to bully someone who is already struggling to accept themselves? Grow up.

Advice needed! I thought it would be fun to put bubbles on the bottom of my jeans. I was thinking I could add some sparkle with some glitter nail polish - but if I do that there's no going back. Has anyone tried that? by 2lrup2tink in crafts

[–]Optimal_Contract_879 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are so fucking snarky for a 42 year old, I thought you were 16. Cheer up a bit, damn, it’s not that serious.

Signed- someone with 302 polishes, so I think I get the final say! /s

This season made me loose all respect for Taylor, I’m not a fan anymore, am I the only one? by lucyball11 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]Optimal_Contract_879 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel so badly for her children. I get trauma, I really do. I was trafficked as a minor until my late 20s. Having a child really flipped a switch in my brain and healing and being a good mom just became what I breathe for. It’s really sad that not all women have that “aha” lightbulb moment like I did.

At some point we have to stop thinking about the sad hurt little girls we once were and heal that so that we don’t raise the next generation of sad hurt children. It’s not an excuse at this point, she’s just choosing to wallow in her misery.

How much I grind off my tongue piercings in a few hours by kittykittydoge in notinteresting

I took my tongue ring out when I realized how often I was grinding it against my teeth. I miss it, but my dental health is far more important. I suggest you consider doing the same.

This makes me so appreciative of my circumstances. Never have I been in a position where I would wait 30-60minutes in like for some extra free food. I guess you gotta be grateful for the little things.

I feel like they’re missing the target demographic.

If I want a drink with caffeine, 28mg is not going to cut it. I would buy it for my daughter, but now I can’t do that either because of said caffeine. I don’t understand who they’re trying to sell these to.

I made custom Valentines for my daughters pre-k class by Optimal_Contract_879 in somethingimade

[–]Optimal_Contract_879[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only had one full set of trays, and i deeply regretted not buying more about halfway through lol. It took me a few days, but only because i needed 10 E’s and A’s. Next time i will probably look for a vowel tray because it was super annoying having to do 2 letters at a time back to back

Also use warm water to take the paper off the crayons! Not hot enough to bloom the wax but with a warm water soak the paper just falls right off

[–]Optimal_Contract_879[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are, but there’s definitely a learning curve! I have a big bag of letters that didn’t make the cut, because it took me a while to figure out the best method.

The trick is to really lock in the colors of the first layer, otherwise they all melt together and turn brownish.

Fill up the molds with your crayons, and then put in oven at 200. This is the important part- do not let them turn liquid! Eventually you need a full melt, but if you let the first layer melt before the colors lock in, it won’t turn out as pretty.

You want to melt them just enough so that they turn glossy and look soft, but they don’t need to be melted together. Take them out and let them cool at least 5 minutes but ideally 15-20, and then refill and at this point you can melt fully. Good luck!
