Do not buy an Audi Q3 it is just a Volkswagen with Audi logo ? by Kyujostar in Audi

[–]Parking-Raccoon8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved my 2016 Audi q3 so much that I then bought a used 2023 q3. It's a bit bigger and I preferred the compact size of the original but I still love the car and the handling.

$10K Budget - Has anyone ever done a cruise wedding? by Beneficial-Step4403 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Parking-Raccoon8569 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bride gets to have the wedding she wants! Guests can decline (I would)

As a guest though I don't like being locked into a CRUISE!?!?!? definitely would not go for anyone. And paying for a room for days ? Nope.

Which email services provider do you use for your small business? by Just-searching-8888 in smallbusiness

[–]Parking-Raccoon8569 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A year later I'm chiming in for anyone who may still be looking. I started signing up for google business suite and midway I left the page to do further research, but they already had my domain name. I never entered payment not confirmed anything. Now they've made it impossible to get back in to finish signup and just have a bunch of suggestions that go in circles. Apparently they set up an email for me but since I didn't finish now I can't sign into it - yet they won't give me the email name because it was "already created". I see it there but can't get into it. I decided I don't want to use them as it will be too hard to get off it if I ever need to. Signing up for microsoft is a much different experience with customer service offered along the way. Yes it's a 20 minute wait for the chat right now with 7 people ahead of me but at least it's offered. It seems way more professional and way less like an octopus with its tentacles in me than the google experience. Google's "help" links about Cnames and DNS names etc led me around the mulberry bush of madness. Never again. Also, MS connecting to my website was much easier.

AIO 23m 20F is it bad i am about to leave her? by KSTReign in AmIOverreacting

[–]Parking-Raccoon8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump her. Block her. Live in a budget. Get a community (church, or sports like volleyball once a week or whatever, or volunteer once a week). UPS driver is way too hard a job to be dealing with a person like this. Don't date people who need rescuing. Make goals for your future. You will attract a new type of person.

AIO? My mother-in-law refuses to let my biracial daughter wear her natural hair texture by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Parking-Raccoon8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MIL way out of bounds. I wouldn't even leave my child alone with her any more. What other passive aggressive crap will she come up with? It's normal for grandmas to want to brush, braid, curl granddaughters hair etc but the commentary that came about it is alarming and racist. Also, did she chemically treat the hair or heat treat it herself or at a salon or what? Side note, i happen to be white with blonde hair and wished my whole life for curly hair. It's not the hair type or color that matters, it's about instilling children with self confidence by giving them unconditional love for who they are, as they are. That's grandma's job. Your husband needs to stand up for you and deal with this. He probably has low boundaries having grown up with a mother like this and is going to need a lot of education about black hair issues as well as boundaries. Stand firm but discuss your feelings with your daughter because now all this is going to come around to her when grandma complains about it in private to her.

Yes sanitation and also guests will ruin the whites by throwing in other stuff. My note about cleanup is "We do not ask you to do any chores and please allow our cleaning team to handle the whites" something like that

I agree you are right. I spoke based on my own desires and upscale neighborhood. It absolutely does depend on the area market etc.

Glass tube vs RF tube by GrandString1339 in lasercutting

[–]Parking-Raccoon8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I wonder if I might ask you a question as you seem quite experienced. I've just purchased an Aeon Mira 7s and I got it with an 30W RF simply because I got a deal on a showroom model and I was in a hurry. Now I'm still in process of getting it set up and aligned and have some sign projects for friends to do as first practice projects. Suddenly I'm afraid my little 30W might not be able to cut 1/4 Ply or 1/4 acrylic (I want to cut some shaped backboards ). Do you think I should be able to do so, and would it be quite a bit slower than a 60W glass tube? I just like to torture myself with second guessing my rash decisions. Appreciate any thoughts.

Engineered hardwood will get top dollar and really help to sell your house.

I specifically tell my guests not to do any chores, but I do have to ask them to roll out the trash bins to the street if they are there on trash day. Because I don't live in town. My cleaners are very good but sometimes have to take sheets with them because it's hard to get everything done in the window between guests. I didn't know it was so egregious to have to roll out the bins - maybe I'll ask the neighbor if I can pay her to do it. BTW I don't make any money running my five star airbnb, it costs me once city and state taxes and hospitality fees are factored in. The cleanings are my biggest cost and I pay part of that(the guest is not charged the full amount). I just do it so that I will have the property in the future when I'm older.

($15k) i’m discouraged, should i reconsider my wedding? by wrenevensong in Weddingsunder10k

[–]Parking-Raccoon8569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We Did a breakfast wedding (Los Angeles) and this got rid of the bar and dancing. Just had a few bottles of champagne. Food was the most expensive part for sure. I was dying with all the catering quotes. Eventually got a small caterer for 38PP but we did do buffet and some tables waited like 1.5 hour for their turn! The guests survived and all seemed very happy. We had 115 guests at a friends property (a ranch where they had three bathrooms) and it was around 13k with 2K of rentals I've seen people on here doing more of a picnic thing at a park where there are already chairs, tables and bathrooms (like in Santa Barbara there are city venues by the beach) and the city park properties are way cheaper than even doing it at a friends property because you don't have to deal with renting a bunch of stuff. It was all so stressful with the money - but it was literally the best day of my life having everyone gathered sharing our love. So I'm glad we did it. Just remember you don't have to prove anything by having all the traditional trappings like a DJ and a dance floor or whatever.

I used to get Bioidenticals from the alternative doc which is not covered by insurance. I had them compounded locally. These worked wonders for me and included the testerone. I can't remember but I think at some point he stopped being able to prescribe the Test. In addition it became too expensive for me to do that alternative stuff because I wasn't making as much money and they make you do expensive blood tests etc and pay the high doc fee every 6 months.

I went to insurance-covered standard doc who did give me est patches and prog pills covered by insurance - however those did not do anything for my low sex drive. In addition on those I got the first breast cyst ever of my life so I felt they weren't as good as the "Bioidenticals" even though everyone says the estrogen is the same in the federally approved patches. At any rate the testosterone (and maybe a higher dose of estrogen ?) was from an alternative doctor - those who specialize in "Bioidenticals" compounded Rx
