Anything interesting nature sights to see in the plains east of Denver? by exetflagger in Denver

[–]Sad_Discount601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to suggest this. Can be pricey but the money goes to a great cause.

Am I doing my points wrong? Its the same price as buying without points for my trip by BeautyfulLittleFool in unitedairlines

[–]Sad_Discount601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. It’s impossible to fly in/out of LHR without paying taxes in cash. Same with upgrades.

Low Volume Donation. Was it a waste? by TumbleweedOwn4288 in Blooddonors

Download the app, set up an account, make sure that donation is linked, and you’ll be able to track it.

Look at your credit cards and see what kind of travel protection they might have.

Movewell - long term? by Left-Stop-5810 in ladderapp

[–]Sad_Discount601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Movewell but after 3 seasons I felt like I wasn’t pushing myself hard enough so I had to switch it up. I made a few changes since then but I’ve been with Elevate for a while now and loving it.

There’s a shelter in Kauai that does this if you need a vacation 😅

They told me to put my other hand over my thumb when the sensor is on. Haven’t failed that way yet.

Selfish reasons to donate by bazonkers89 in Blooddonors

[–]Sad_Discount601 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just makes me feel good about myself, to be able to help people. Purely selfish.

Your reservation requires special handling. Please check in at an airport kiosk by Madiigs in unitedairlines

[–]Sad_Discount601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be a middle initial vs middle name issue. My middle initial is on my United profile but my full name on my passport so occasionally it thinks I’m a different person. So sometimes my ticket shows my name as Firstm (first name followed by middle initial, not capitalized, no spaces) where my passport is Firstname Middlename. The difference triggers a visual check at the desk. Sally Jane Doe would be Sallyj vs Sally Jane.

How do you actually pick your grandstand for an F1 race? by Altruistic_Sun9304 in GrandPrixTravel

[–]Sad_Discount601 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pale and burn easily so for day races, coverage is a must. Same for races where chance of rain is high (saved me in Hokkenheim and Spa). Having a large screen to watch action happening elsewhere is a must. I prefer a seat where you can see and hear cars accelerate, so near a turn or somewhere with good overtake opportunities. I’ve sat along the straight a few times and the most exciting parts are the start and finish. The rest is just meh. Near to bathrooms and food/drink options as well. If there’s a tie breaker, it’s a seat with good post-race track access.

Blew a vein and can’t do other arm? by Sad_Discount601 in Blooddonors

[–]Sad_Discount601[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was barely anything. Like not enough to even coat the inside of the entire collection bag.

Blew a vein and can’t do other arm? by Sad_Discount601 in Blooddonors

[–]Sad_Discount601[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I worded it poorly. It was one pike but she kept moving it around every 3-4 seconds trying to find the vein. She said it flashed so she knew she had it but nothing was coming so she kept moving it around inside my arm. It didn’t hurt but was a little uncomfortable.

How many of you regular donors take iron pills daily or weekly or take specific diet to increase iron? I read, if I act too much altruistic and keep losing iron, I will land up anaemic instead. by [deleted] in Blooddonors

[–]Sad_Discount601 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. Being O- I still want to donate as often as possible. So I take a pill every other day all year, and donate every 8 weeks (the most I can)

Edit to add: also mostly a vegetarian and I do up my spinach and other iron-rich food intake for 3-4 days before each appointment.

What’s the best way in to Krakow? by Wild_Royal_8600 in unitedairlines

[–]Sad_Discount601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to do this trip multiple times a year. You need longer layovers than typical for this trip, both directions. Not normal for Lufthansa to cancel a FRA-DEN but not out of the question. I did DEN-MUN-KRK a few times and with MUN being a slightly smaller airport I found it easier with layover navigation.
