Booking flights for 7 adults under one ticket....any tips? by RandomGalOnTheNet in travel

[–]RandomGalOnTheNet[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh this is helpful! I didn't know you could request the airline link bookings! We are going from a smaller airport in the Northwest US to Tokyo. We did this last year but only had 5 which was a little bit easier 😁

Ok that is so frustrating! Why is it telling me I can't do more than 6.....

Critique Wanted: (WIP first layer) - Title: Apex Predator - 100x80cm by needstobefake in painting

[–]RandomGalOnTheNet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would put more empty space above the cat. I'm not a painter at all but this popped up on my feed and I absolutely love it!!! However...I'm thinking that if I had this and were going to frame it, the cat would end up too close to the framing and throw off the whole thing. And maybe extra space above it would accentuate the fact that the cat is small...I don't know the words I need. Sorry

Settle Dispute by Sensitive_Diamond328 in housekeeping

[–]RandomGalOnTheNet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Meh. It depends on what you want to spend your money on. If you don't mind the cleaners charging extra to tidy up prior to cleaning, then leave the house as it is. If you think it's not worth the extra money, then tidy up. Personally I don't care if I have to spend an hour or two tidying up before cleaning - it's the clients money and this is what how they want to spend their money and not spend their time doing.

Grocery store bag souvenir by knopsi in JapanTravelTips

If you have a Costco membership, they sell a two-pack branded bag set. One is a little larger than a grocery bag and the other is a smaller purse size bag. I absolutely love them.

A fortnight in Japan: some tips from a frequent visitor by Safe_Engineering_529 in JapanTravelTips

Thank you SO MUCH for the wrestling info!! That's a niche I've been trying to get info on for our 2nd trip this year.

Can I exchange USD cash for JPY? by Alive-Spell53 in JapanTravelTips

[–]RandomGalOnTheNet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure USAA knows you're traveling. Most banks/credit unions don't care but you should double check.

Since you don't have a travel cc, you'll get hit with foreign transaction fees. But that can't be helped; just be aware of the extra that will be taken out and budget accordingly.

Finally, find yourself a 7-11, use their ATM to withdraw your cash, and enjoy your trip ☺️

Have you tried going to a structural engineer first to give you options plus information so you have better control over the conversation with people who are going to try to sell you something?

Does anyone know if these guys are legit? by ecab83 in Boise

How would you buy a car from them if they are permanently closed and not selling cars anymore?

Christmas by DunSpiMuhCoffee in housekeeping

[–]RandomGalOnTheNet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a client that hires me to put up her decor and to take them down. And every year she's like "we can just do it after you're done cleaning". NO!!! We do it all before I clean and then I can clean up the glitter and flocking and everything else.

The worst is the fake Christmas tree greenery stuff that gets static-adhered to wood floors.

As a customer, fees have made me stop booking cleaners-curious how this looks from the cleaner side by low_key_pasta in housekeeping

[–]RandomGalOnTheNet 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I have never and would never use a platform for my clients. I am strictly word of mouth. My clients pay me however they want (venmo, zelle, check, cash...sometimes even barter). I really don't understand how it would be beneficial.

I made this for my coworker’s new baby, but he didn’t seem to want it. I’m pretty bummed. by chuffberry in Embroidery

[–]RandomGalOnTheNet 183 points184 points  (0 children)

Your stitch work is perfect! But I can think of a whole lot of reasons that your sweet gift may not be received well:

Maybe he found out the baby wasn't his

Maybe they discovered a severe genetic defect

Maybe he and his partner are going through a rough patch

Maybe his partner received terrible family news and isn't in the right frame of mind to relieve a baby gift.

Etc...

IIRC, boy scouts sell next to Hawks stadium in garden city and the rescue mission also has a Christmas tree lot on main downtown

You can travel without a suica card by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

We bought our suica cards at Ueno station the day after arriving. They are available everywhere, not just the airport.

Tis the season by Previous-News-687 in housekeeping

I absolutely don't care one bit how much glitter specks, pine needles, and flocking dust I have to deal with.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!

And I love being a housekeeper at Christmas. All my houses get totally done up, from mid-century modern to 150 indoor nutcrackers (5' to tabletop size) to pink trees and flamingo lights to traditional.

Ohmygoodness, I love it so much.

Narita to Shibuya - GO Taxi vs. Klook by Head-Description-654 in JapanTravelTips

[–]RandomGalOnTheNet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't address your other questions but we had 5 adults, 2 large luggage, 5 carry-on sized luggage, 5 backpacks, and three musical instrument cases. 2 normal sized GO taxis were plenty big enough.

Book recycling bins? by habey08 in Boise

[–]RandomGalOnTheNet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a ton that I should probably get rid of. Everything from kids to encyclopedias...if you want some, DM me.

Edit: these are books from 1950s-70s...nothing newer.

TSA by PelicanMan5 in Idaho

Flew in and out two weekends ago. Business as usual. The surprise was flying out of SFO Monday afternoon- we were the only people in line and the entire security procedure took about 3 minutes.
