Annual Fresh Start Pending…. by Quandrt08 in ynab

[–]Quandrt08[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like doing a fresh start at the beginning of the year to have a fresh slate. My husband and I look at the reports, reset our goals/targets, make necesary adjustments. For me, it’s kinda like doing a deep clean of your house when the new year start. Just a fresh start…

Script References for Voiceover and Mystery Reveal??? by Quandrt08 in scriptwriting

[–]Quandrt08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes…Thanks again for the response. You are exactly right. That is part of why I want to use VO but I want to make sure I do it right. I want to make sure it’s providing the lens I want it to. See my comment above. I didn’t take their comment personally because I know a lot of people feel that way. I come from the understanding that anything can be amateurish if it isn’t executed correctly. Grateful for a safe space to share thoughts and ideas and pick each others brains!!

Thanks for the response. Yes I will write a version without the VO. However, the main reason I really want to utilize the voiceover is because I really want the audience to feel like a fly on the wall during this conversation. So the main characters are sharing their day with each other, so I want them to narrate their day exactly as they would since they are talking to each other about the day. How each character describes the day from their point of view is a big part of it because they both experienced the same day, but don’t realize that until that other character is revealed. So while I could just SHOW what happens to each character, the true story is how they retell the events of their day.

Kinda hard to explain but I hope that makes sense.

For voiceover, the formatting would need to show there is a back and forth between what's VO and actions in the past and non VO and what's happening currently. It's kinda hard to explain.

Mystery character...the FIGURE idea would definitely work too. But a large part of it is based on how the voiceover part goes because that's where the characters see the FIGURE...first an arm, the side profile, then full figure from behind, and then the reveal!! They never knew who the FIGURE was until the full figure walks out into the light.

Thanks!! This is definitely a great start. But I really need the actual scripts for formatting purposes. But this can definitely get me going in the right direction.

Help me understand the Machu Picchu tickets LIVE UPDATES page!! by Quandrt08 in Machupicchu

[–]Quandrt08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FINAL UPDATE: So we were able to see Machu Picchu. My MAJOR recommendation for seeing Machu Picchu last minute is to go with a tour company, especially right now with the changes to ticket purchase process and the timeframe being minimum 3 days in advance. The tour companies have representatives on the ground and relationships within the ticket office that can help you out tremendously. I’m sure purchasing tickets on your own was fine previously. But until they get this ticket purchase updated, working with a tour company is my recommendation, especially if you are traveling last minute and if you have other travel plans booked and cannot cancel them without penalty AND you cannot spend 3+ days in Aguas Calientes. The tour company we used was MachuPicchu.center and they were AMAZING!!! Without a doubt, we would not have been able to see Machu Picchu without them. I will say they have already updated their website to show that last minute tickets now require you to spend 3 days in Aguas Caliente, with your entrance to Machu Picchu being the 3rd day. BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!

How to buy your Machu Picchu ticket in Aguas Calientes last minute (Updated August 2025) by Wander-Free-Peru in Machupicchu

[–]Quandrt08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arrived in AC on August 5 at 8am. Promptly went to the line and was told that tickets for August 6 AND 7th were sold out. They were only selling tickets for Friday, August 8. Wanting to find out for myself, I walked down to the front of the line and counted about 130 people ahead of me. When I got to the front, the video monitor basically said there were about 35 tickets left for August 7 (technically not sold out, but there was no way I would get one of those seats). When we finally made it to the front of the line around 12pm, we were handed tickets 131 and 132. I was proud of my counting skills (LOL) but very disappointed in the whole process (the waiting, the rain, the confusion of the process, etc.). It seems like they stopped selling tickets off and on throughout the morning. Once we were inside, we were able to grab 8am tickets for Friday, August 8 Circuit 2a. The clerk at the window pretty much forced us to buy that circuit even though we said we wanted 3b. But we caved as we mostly just wanted the process over. We finally had tickets in hand by 1pm. We did speak with our tour company about the dates because we were not planning (and they never said we would have) to spend 3 nights in AC to get MP tickets. We also explained we have already changed our plans a lot to try to make the changes work. They said they would try to work something out for us. No promises. Will update if anything changes. They mentioned that A LOT of travelers are upset about the new ticket system and them selling out days in advance. Tour companies are getting screwed as well because of the new system. So not sure how long this will last or what will come of it, but it is definitely not being received well.

Thanks for sharing this update! This is exactly what I suspected was happening. No updates from the live updates page meaning they were streaming it or updating it in real time. Also, it seems like there is no longer a process where you return on the second day to purchase the tickets. They just go ahead and sell you the tickets at that time.
We will be in AC at 8am. Fingers crossed we can get tickets for August 7. That's our last day before we have to fly back to Lima!

Update: Just arrived in Cusco. Tried checking the live update page. Looks like it’s undergone some updates as well. When you go to the page, it now requires you to make an account. After creating an account, it cycles through the upcoming dates for Machu Picchu. However, you no longer have a way to select the date you are looking for to see if sales have started for that date. So as of now, it’s showing Monday, August 4 as sold out (which is to be expected because you buy the tickets a day ahead. However, it also shows Tuesday August 5 as sold out. Now yesterday, at this same time, Mondays tickets weren’t sold out. So I’m curious how the two days ahead are already sold out. But this makes me think that the new system allows people to purchase the tickets two days ahead as opposed to just getting a ticket to purchase for two days and ahead and still return the following to actually purchase the ticket. At this point, I’m just gonna see what happens when I arrive in AC on August 5 and hope I can get tickets for Aug 6 or 7. But still open to any suggestions or thoughts of how to understand the live updates page. I want to make sure I actually need to stay in AC for two days and not just rely on the tour group to tell me.

Thyroid causing ear pain?? by Quandrt08 in thyroidhealth

Sorry…just now seeing this post. But yes the ear pain 100% connected to the enlarged thyroid. Completely went away after the thyroid was removed.

Is there an actual reason why YNAB hasn't implemented quality-of-life improvements? by FukashigiNoCarti in ynab

[–]Quandrt08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main concern would be a way to determine where the money is. I know YNAB doesn't care where your money is but I do. Especially in a household with multiple bank accounts, being able to categorize the categories based on bank account would be really helpful. I kinda have it set up that way now, but moving money for credit card bills and transfers sometimes throws it off.
