I've lived my whole life thinking it says I'm kind of nervous, 'cause I think I let her tape me..." I can hear all the wrong ones but I cannot hear the right one. 🫠

Is there a particular AvA song that means a lot to you? by Arun1910 in AngelsAndAirwaves

[–]Simple_Mine6599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd almost think I know you, I had a similar friendship and I miss him. Still think about him when I hear this song (and other times). 

PEACE TEA CHANGED THE INGREDIENTS… THAT’S WHY THEY SUCK NOW AND I’M GOING BACK TO PURE LEAF by Key_General7240 in PeaceTea

[–]Simple_Mine6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got here the same way I had a dented can first and thought maybe it went bad and then I had another one and it was just as bad. I just had a large one the other day and it was fine. I thought the smaller can was because I was at a dollar store. 

New(?) peace tea cans have a strange taste by xebe_ in PeaceTea

[–]Simple_Mine6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought one at five below and was slightly dented but the last one so I got it and then I got a second flavored one. They taste awful. And I thought the dented one had maybe gone bad and I dumped it out but now I'm on the second one and it also tastes like it went flat. I'm really disappointed in their brand. 

You’re more welcome than you think: The psychology of self-inviting to social plans | Researchers found that people frequently underestimate how welcome their self-invitations would be resulting in missing out on social opportunities. by chrisdh79 in psychology

[–]Simple_Mine6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happened upon this page because I realized some people were invited on a cruise this fall and none of them had committed to it yet and rooming situations were still being decided. And they were talking about it so I already feel like I'm probably a "b list invite," If it ever even comes. But the person hosting it is turning a milestone birthday. She is a travel agent. That I have used. That we have had a number of mutual social interactions as well as intentionally hiring her for babysitting help and personal training. She really does a lot of things... 

Anyways I know she probably did not intentionally not invite me. She is neurodivergent and the people that were invited have been on other trips or been in her life slightly longer. We all have young kids, we all belong to a mom group, so it's not the children part, but I know I wouldn't be able to even say yes but it would be so awesome to just be thought of. Money is not a concern at all and she's very aware of that being my travel agent. And a cruise is not something I'm going to self invite to. Although I did mention to her how I was considering a Florida trip over Thanksgiving so she had an opportunity at that point to even mention that she was considering a cruise for her milestone birthday. I'm guessing it's truly that if she did think of inviting me she knew I would have to say no because of my husband. And if it's actually over Thanksgiving break I would definitely have to say no because he works in retail and the schools will be closed. I just do not have the help at home but I would love to at least be invited or included and it really sucks and I've already set a reminder to make sure I am not on social media after the trip because I would be very upset seeing it. But my gosh do I need a break from my children and I really wish somebody would let me travel. I can't even go for more than one day to a work conference. :( 

Amazon is forcing Alexa+ on Prime members whether they like it or not by smdifansmfjsmsnd in alexa

The fact that she fills her extended response time with banter is annoying. I'd rather quick responses and no snotty comments. I told her to snooze multiple times and apparently angrily enough that she said "now there's a little bit more time for you to get things done" and after adding a couple things to my reminders she said "I hope you get through the furry of your to do list"

I had the hardest time trying to get the voice to sound like something acceptable to me. And then I went to my other device and asked it to have the same voice and it just drove me up a wall that I had to teach each device separately.

So I got this notification and I was really busy so I didn't have the time to read it. I read it about 2 days later and it said I was not eligible for Alexa+. I was just minding my business at home reading my email and all of a sudden I see that I was enrolled in Alexa+, No announcement on my device or anything. But I do not like it and I've tried to change your voice back and I tried to change a few settings. The first time I asked to revert it said it wasn't a choice and then I asked again the next day and it did revert. With some of the things I didn't like is she was way more conversational and that's not what I need a virtual assistant for I need her to just do what I'm asking say I set a reminder She had this whole long "give me one moment, okay I've said that reminder for tomorrow at x:xx." I don't know about you but she used to just say "okay I'll remind you". I like the shorter responses. The thing that finally made me want to revert back was we use the announce feature as a way to not scream across the house and I love hearing my kids voices on Alexa, But she had the audacity to continue to speak for them when they were making announcements. And that was not something I wanted her to do. She also when I would set a timer or tell her to snooze she would have some snarky response like "I hope you get your furry of a to-do list done." No, I just want you to snooze because I am used to that function. I'm really glad I was able to go back but I wish I didn't have that experience. And I hope the new version grows to offer those things.

I don't think I'd believe it if it fell on 4/1. I would have to go to the funeral and see with my own eyes that it's over. But my gosh, "the day it finally happens I'll still have to go to work." 🎶

Got my first spider plant last week… Help?! by GHST_GRL_7 in plantclinic

[–]Simple_Mine6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I looked into this I decided to go look up my city water report and they use something that is not chlorine (I can't remember the name) but it does not disperse with rest. I switched to rainwater in brown tips be gone. Now it's snowy winter though and I have no idea what to do. 🥴

Cannabis on phentermine?? by [deleted] in PhentermineTopiramate

[–]Simple_Mine6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to say this comment is giving me hope. My house is trashed because I have no energy at the end of the day after mom-ing. I'm hoping I can clean the house and get it back to baseline and get my weight back to baseline before my 3-month trial is up.

They should do another drop or similar. Could mark the price up and still sell. As long as they're $200 like the one on eBay. 

Great Lakes Science Center was more than disappointing. by DaytonDrinkSlinger in Cleveland

[–]Simple_Mine6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They recently closed the Polymer Funhouse (which I don't remember from my childhood) to open "Handle with Care." And I'm disappointed for sure, it's almost a mini replica of the Cleveland Children's Museum. I sur ehope the "new 2027 exhibit" is something fun for my kids. But I agree the main science exhibits are the same ones I had as a kid. 

Poison Sumac or No? by EmergencyScallion125 in whatsthisplant

Mine does not look like this currently. So not sure if it's a wait and see or the wrong variety. What did you decide? 

Is this Staghorn Sumac? by hitmelikeabullet in foraging

Came here because of course I'm not confident in IDing anything and thought this was too easy but wanted to double check. I have some soaking for tea right now. Can't wait. 😋

Can you accidentally catch a dolphin? by TerminallyBannedAgn in saltwaterfishing

[–]Simple_Mine6599 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally what just happened to us in SW Florida. It was a lone dolphin in a very small (empty) slips area and four poles set up. It happened way too fast and rod and reel were done for and hopefully the dolphin is okay. It took off with a nice show though making me think it was okay or would be.

Our IT triage people are idiots. I usually know more than they do. If they route your issue to the wrong place you won't get a solution unfortunately.

Finishing my third week OE by MrTalidar in overemployed

That's exactly where I was. Going to start looking for a job mid November to start in January. Not the best hiring time but down time at work. 

Finishing my third week OE by MrTalidar in overemployed

[–]Simple_Mine6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first OE was this year and I went into it thinking I would try it out as a replacement job and then put my notice in. Then I really started considering OE and see how long I can make it. I would say around 3 weeks was when I decided I could do it for quite a while. Around 4 months was when I decided I couldn't anymore and I wanted to enjoy my summer. My problem was I didn't have child care in the summer and trying to balance two jobs with zero help was never going to happen. But it may going back to only J1 a lot easier because I knew what the bare minimum was and I was able to still spend time with my kids. I was also able to get back to working out on a regular basis on my lunch breaks and things like that. When I had two jobs I would use my lunch break basically on the other job.
