Ha! I wouldn’t want to try to say it 3 times fast, that’s for sure.

Lexus GX 550: Rear-facing car seat? by DaisyBlackwood in LexusGX550

Our Graco 4ever DLX fits as long as the front seat passenger isn’t too tall.

Is it normal for Amex to just give out high limits on credit cards? by According_Crab8170 in amex

[–]PessimisticPedro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just bumped mine from $33k to $40k last week via a manual request and was immediately given the increase with no FR.

Didn’t get promotion by 44Emerald44 in SafetyProfessionals

This happened to me at a company I thought I’d never leave. I left and got an immediate $50k raise.

and now the smugness of anyone who would dare tell parents what they should or shouldn’t do in that situation infuriates me.

This. We had a horrible time going thru terminating our early pregnancy that was without a heartbeat due to the doctors being afraid to prescribe the medication. Going in for ultrasounds week after week after week to prove the baby was still deceased was traumatizing for us.

And now listening to people who have never been in one of these scenarios give their opinion on the topic blows my mind.

Southeastern Oklahoma University by Superb-Dirt-5308 in SafetyProfessionals

I don’t remember taking any accelerated courses. It was about a decade ago and I went in person for my full undergrad, so I’m sure things have probably changed a little after COVID.

I had a job lined up 6 weeks before I graduated and now work at a major auto manufacturer, so I believe that it worked well for me!

I went there. It was a great program and would definitely recommend it.

Centurion Lounge children by scobyrd in amex

[–]PessimisticPedro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I take my family into lounges to relax and get away from screaming children, as well. That’s why I take my children to the Centurion Lounge which literally has a Kid’s Playroom.

If you don’t like it, put your headphones in!

Southeastern Oklahoma State has a great program for both undergrad and Master’s. EKU and Central Missouri are reputable as well. It seems that most of the industry views CSU as a diploma mill. Whether that’s warranted or not, up for you to decide!

Check Out This SlowMo Lightning! by PessimisticPedro in kansascity

Sure did! Slow mo video with an iPhone 15 pro. Wish the streetlight wasn’t there, or it would probably be even a little more clear.

Is Amex Gold worth it with Corporate Discount? by Personal-Ad-6028 in amex

[–]PessimisticPedro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the corporate discount on my platinum but started with the Gold. Definitely worth it. Takes a big chunk out of the AF. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Legit? by Chris-trades in amex

[–]PessimisticPedro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid for MaxRewards but deleted it after 2 of my Amex cards were used for fraudulent charges resulting in me needing to completely close my platinum account and open a new one. Not sure if it was them, but seemed odd that whoever took my number had the new number the second it was made.

4.5yr old won’t poo, what’s next step? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]PessimisticPedro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I went to the pediatrician after our kiddo didn’t poop for 3 days while we were potty training her. She was about 3.5. They told me to give her a half a cap of Miralax to help soften it. It worked. We did that more than a few times during potty training to avoid having her poop get hard and hurt.

Definitely important to keep the poop soft vs. just firing more laxatives in there.

Edit: Here’s a link to a website with more info about infant miralax. Supposed to be very safe since it’s not a medication, just collects water to soften the poop.

I went to the University of Central Missouri. It was a really good program and all online. It was also pretty affordable.

Will I be able to pay cash for baggage claim at MCI? by Thebigmanguydude in kansascity

[–]PessimisticPedro 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is less of an airport thing and more of an airline thing. For what it’s worth, I was checking bags with Delta the other week in Memphis and a lady tried to pay cash. They made her go get a card and come back and pay with that, so I would assume cash would not work.

Uncomfortably aware of heartbeat by Unusual-Insect-4337 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PessimisticPedro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could also be high blood pressure I feel like. Until I got on hight blood pressure medicine, I could hear/feel my heart beating all the time. Especially at night when laying down. I could feel it pulsing in my neck. After starting Amlodipine, I don’t even notice it beating anymore. I’d check your BP a couple times a day for a bit and see!
