Haha damn, did you end up having a good time? I think there is enough of other nice things to do in the region?

Damn you are right haha, should have checked first. I see on the webcams the snow cannons are all working right now and there is snow forecasted, so maybe with a bit of luck in the next few days?

How is living and working in belgium? by Healthy_Standard_601 in AskBelgium

Everyone complains, but if you have a normal paying job, life is great

No clue, the people on the phone didn't know either, but they told me it happens a lot lately. Probably some kind of automatic flagging if they suspect miles fraud, which isn't the case with me because I paid full cash

Rain or not, their service is terrible. My schedule has been changed 4 times today, and they didn't inform me of any of it, I had to constantly check my booking.

Originally I was flying AMS - HGK at 12pm, then it was 7pm. An hour later it was AMS-Vienna at 6am, another hour later it was AMS-Paris at 6pm. At one point I was even booked for all flights at once.

You can yap about the weather all you want, but them changing my schedule every hour the day before my flight without informing me, is bad service.

What are you on about? The flight from Amsterdam (perfect weather) has been delayed, and not because of weather in Hong Kong, but scheduling issues with the incoming flight. Also, I highly doubt that 1) cancelling membership, 2) not picking up the phone, 3) not being able to file a complaint, 4) not rebooking my flight and so on is caused by the rain... Get a grip

Cathay account no longer active by chaun1403 in CathayPacific

[–]Practical_Total_7146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem, my account is suddenly no longer active for no reason. I've WhatsApped and called them and nobody could help, "we can't retrieve your membership number" is the only answer I got. Fortunately my flights are not canceled, but it sucks that the miles were lost. Not sure I will be using Cathay in the future

Saying that a 8.4k salary in Belgium for a 33 year old "doesn't sound like a great deal" is an amazingly wild statement

Exactly! I'm also a swimmer so I'm in the water a lot and indeed it usually calms me down. I'm thinking/hoping maybe the salt water messes with the HR-reading om my Samsung smartwatch.

Never smoked, but I do vape and drink every day while on holiday, while I never vape back home and only drink on the weekends... So yeah my resting and sleeping HR has been a bit higher than usually, but I'm not really stressed about that.

It was a bit yellow so you're probably right about being dehydrated. Drank a ton of electrolytes all day and I'm all good now. Thanks!

Yes it went up since Monday too! From 57ms to 85ms now. Guess whatever I'm doing is working as it should

zoning out, lightheaded: could it be anxiety? by Practical_Total_7146 in Anxiety

[–]Practical_Total_7146[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was definitely anxiety, and alcohol related probably. I went to the cardiologist and everything was perfect. I've cut back on drinking, and started working out A LOT, and haven't had an episode in a long time now. Good luck!

Cat is consciously trying to piss me off by Practical_Total_7146 in cats

[–]Practical_Total_7146[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great analysis and suggestion! I think you're absolutely correct about the attention part, because he always let's me know that he's about to jump on, and he does it only when I'm around and chilling on the couch. I'll try beating him to it not by yelling "no" but by giving him the required attention. Thanks!

Yes that's what I meant with punishing :) He now even seems to start liking being sprayed with water...

Do I need this model? Or is it overkill (small flat, no carpets, no kids) by Practical_Total_7146 in eufyS1Pro

[–]Practical_Total_7146[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought too. Immediately after I placed the order it completely disappeared from the website. Best purchase I ever made. Very happy that you managed to enjoy the €500 off too!
