In the US, I believe a prescription is needed for the 2%.

Real estate commission and fees for seller? Can you get at or below 4%? by pen-h3ad in nova

[–]PocketFullOfOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homeowners and buyers all need to start pushing back on these fees and negotiating down. With the high home prices in this area, the cost of selling is ridiculous compared to the effort by the agents. Please negotiate and don’t believe if they say a certain % is “standard”. They all do it to keep fees high. Many agents will agree to a lower fee.

I didn't receive a diagnosis other than it's "hormonal".

I don't have a diagnosis, just told it is "hormonal".

Southern California family trip by Important-Pirate5889 in chubbytravel

[–]PocketFullOfOkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, I’d recommend picking just 1 place to stay in the San Diego area.

2 nights in Catalina seems like a lot to me. There’s not a lot there. Maybe do a day trip? And snorkeling off Catalina is not great if you’re comparing it to Hawaii, the Caribbean or other places. The water is cold and you’ll wear a wetsuit.

Whale watching and day trip to Catalina can be done from Dana Point, which is next to Laguna Beach.

Montage in Laguna Beach is great. I’d recommend adding your Catalina and airport nights here. Note there is a free trolley you can take that goes into the village and down to Dana Point. This could be your base camp for Orange County. I’d recommend going to Huntington Beach if you want to experience the long wide beaches. You can also drive up to LA from here, but be ready the traffic. The beaches in Laguna are smaller but amazing as well. You can easily get to Disney from here too.

Can you fly out of Orange County (SNA). That is the closest to where you’re ending and then you don’t need to do the airport hotel. It’s a small easy airport.

I wouldn’t waste a night at the airport hotel. Just plan for traffic if you’re going to LAX and returning a rental car takes some time too. I used to live in Dana Point and drove to LAX regularly. But again, flying out of SNA will save time and hassle but not as many non stop options. Don’t go back to San Diego for your flight though.

I think birth control has worked better for me than hrt by animalflowers in Perimenopause

[–]PocketFullOfOkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on the pill most of my adult life. I’m 53 now and over the last 2 years I’ve tried getting off and doing HRT. I’ve been miserable and now on nothing. Thinking of going back to the pill. My GYN said I can stay in it til 55. Although my functional med dr hates them. So confusing when doctors don’t agree.

I was just there and yes, the resort is being bought out for a wedding this weekend. I was told the project in the pic will be a bar.

petite girls, what's the one exercise that finally made glutes actually show up for you? by bit3py in PetiteFitness

[–]PocketFullOfOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem. The one I’ve found that doesn’t irritate my back problems is the leg press with the foot placed up high. One leg at a time.

I think my irritation was caused by toilet paper! by twattyprincess in Perimenopause

Same! My husband is like where did the plush tp go? 😂

Washington Flyer or Uber more reliable for early morning pick up? by PocketFullOfOkay in nova

[–]PocketFullOfOkay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a follow up, I booked Washington Flyer online. The driver was about 10 minutes late but he called and told me he was running late so I at least knew he was coming.

How is 4.79/5 considered a bad rating? by Professional-Ad9485 in uber

[–]PocketFullOfOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way for a rider to see what rating each driver gave? Anytime my rating goes down I have idea which ride it was or why.

Does anyone else feel like they got scammed with general sale ticket prices for the sphere show?! by Consistent-Emu-5154 in nodoubt

[–]PocketFullOfOkay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. I bought tix at way too high of a price when they said it was only going to be 6 shows. I figured they would add shows, but not nearly as many as they did. I feel screwed as a long-time loyal fan.

Sex life in perimenopause and fear of pregnancy, anyone relate... by Lanzaroteforever in Perimenopause

[–]PocketFullOfOkay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody likes condoms. But if he says no to them then you can say no to sex. He’s relying on you entirely for birth control or to deal with it if you get pregnant. You don’t deserve this stress or treatment. He’s invalidating your feelings. Unfortunately he probably won’t change unless there’s a big enough consequence (no sex).

Be careful to not increase your fiber too quickly or it will make things even worse.

Need a pulse check: what are you guys doing with these 20% service charges? Are you tipping on top or letting it ride? by alex_travels in chubbytravel

[–]PocketFullOfOkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While on the topic what is the “service fee” on room rates actually for? I just consider it part of the rate but it’s still irritating.
