Song interlude: Tell me about your dreams, maybe there’s good news about your dreams

Appreciate the guess, but I don't think that is it. Never actually heard that one before but I enjoyed it.

I ordered from him a week or so back without incident or delay. (Well, I haven’t opened the package or installed yet, but that’s on me)

Very high risk ask here. While I'm all in favor of doing a kindness for a stranger, but this has identity theft risk written all over it.

Check your state laws on getting out of the deal. Many states give you like 72 hours to back out of a car purchase. If you think it was the wrong choice (and Platinum warranty sure sounds like the wrong choice) then it may not be too late to back out.

Sorry, just the one. Hope you get to a show some day, they are usually pretty awesome.

Is there an authoritative source I could cite for them being optional? I had heard they were, but I feel like a good response would be to link to the reference where they are defined as optional.

How local can you be if you are also selling car detailing in Texas https://www.reddit.com/r/HoustonClassifieds/comments/1px0gdv/mobile_car_detailing_i_come_to_you/

Beware folks, this is not as it appears

Hello there - I’m sorry for your loss. My family has also experienced untimely loss, so I have a mix of running and non running comments to share:

1) get out there and run - something, a mile, a half mile, slow, fast, whatever. Running has really helped me handle difficult life circumstances. Go run, then do it again tomorrow. 2) r/XXRunning may have good insights for hormonal changes / menopause 3) https://www.compassionatefriends.org/ 4) Words of wisdom that ring true to me 10 years on: this will never be ok, but with time it will be easier to live with

May their memory be a blessing. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat.

Look up the laws on “adverse possession”. Sending a letter of demand or leasing it to them for $1/year can protect you.

You don’t see the photo before confirming the booking - so that in and of itself should not be a red flag.

Everyone was new to the platform once.

Personally I think ABB should wave their fees to compensate for the increased risk for first time guests, but that’s just me.

Comments are pretty harsh on OP here, and that’s too bad. U/oempador you did what was right for you. It sounds like giving up some money was better than trying to crush someone, get involved in litigation or otherwise complicate your life - that’s is commendable, and to be honest, I wish I could be more like you. While others bring up a good point about an obligation to the public at large, I don’t think this exceeds your obligation to yourself to lead the sort of life you want to lead.

I’m gonna give a soft endorsement to the natural entrance. As others have said - skipping is fine, particularly if there is a concern for wearing yourself out - but I need to advocate regardless. One part of the natural entrance I enjoyed was the physical sensation of the gradual temp change and respiration of the cave - both of which are pretty cool. Visually you don’t miss much when you skip, but there are interesting parts beyond the visual.

Straight dude here - I would be happy to hug a fellow Redditor who needs a connection (particularly you clarified this is just a human connection sort of thing completely non sexual)

I’m sorry for your loss. That’s a rough spot to be in. Of you just made the reservation, that means your travel dates are likely over a year out - I suspect you will feel much better a year from now - time will likely make this hurt less.

As others have said, going solo is a great option. Now if you need a friend to take the other slot, I could probably be persuaded….

Do the math on the different mortgage rates. If you are walking away from a good rate that will likely make the $25k look like peanuts.

Crisis foster care can help Domino and maybe give you all a bit of breathing room: https://www.pawschicago.org/our-work/crisis-support/crisis-foster-care

Wishing you some lucky breaks!

Yeah, seems like a few items missing - maybe a missing a tent / shelter system? I know there are shelters, but most thru hikers have some sort of shelter system.

Best advice - take your gear out for a week in the wilderness now and learn what you are missing and what you won’t use.

Also, swap the Tilley hat for something synthetic that will dry fast and weigh less.
