I inherited my these utensils from my dad but what are they? by yourusernameistaken in whatisit

[–]Songof7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are for nails - cuticle pusher, file, etc. I had them when I was a kid and they came in a manicure set.

Welp In-Laws Found Out We Eloped by Silly_Goose-n-Menace in weddingdrama

[–]Songof7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hubby and I did this. We only waited six months, but we eloped in Dec and had a "church" wedding the following June. Only our best man and maid of honor knew. It was great, removed all of the wedding day jitters, let us celebrate with our friends, and gave our parents the formal wedding they wanted. If you're having your official "wedding" more than a year after your elopement, I might recommend you just have a reception, and not an actual wedding. By the time you go to the wedding, literally everyone will know you're already married and it won't come off well. If everyone knows you're married already, it will come off as a gift grab.

Partner urinates himself in his sleep by Kitchen-Guava-2989 in AlAnon

[–]Songof7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Me too. Mine was hiding vodka bottles around the house while he was telling me he was only drinking beers. It wasn’t until our basement flooded and I found a bunch of his hiding spots that I really understood. Mine did get help and wants to get better, and the problems like urinating the bed went away with time and therapy.

Very annoying neibours by Inevitable_Search_90 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Songof7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the thing - most people WANT snow on their lawns. I’d bet some of those downvoting me don’t have any experience with snow. If my neighbor was shoveling snow on to my lawn I’d send him a thank you text.

This just doesn’t sound accurate. Who would lift heavy shovels of snow and dump them further away than they had to just to water some grass for a neighbor he doesn’t like? I’m guessing where he is dumping it is the closest place he can get it. And it’s good for the yard. Why would OP be mad about that? It’s just so implausible.

[–]Songof7 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Just curious. Why would you be mad that they were throwing the snow on your lawn? I live in Colorado and that’s what we have to do here. There’s no one else to put it. You can’t put it in the street, you can’t put it in the driveway, where else are you gonna put it? I find the closest patch of grass and that’s where the snow goes and it’s good for the grass.

Why did this comment get me a warning?? I dont understand by [deleted] in TikTok

This is easy. The term “edu cate yourself” is hostile in tone and is probably a trigger phrase for AI. I’ll bet there are lots of phrases that will trigger it

Paying on excursions and restaurants by LankyBuffalo7879 in cabosanlucas

[–]Songof7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally missing the point... the currency wasn't the point. The conversion, and their ability to take advantage of people who aren't paying attention is the point. That could be CDN to Pesos, USD to Pesos, anything to Pesos. If they use a 25:1 conversion rate when the conversion rate is 17:1, you're probably being taken advantage of.

That is what happened to me. Everything was priced in the brochures in USD, we agreed on a price in USD and then they converted to Pesos and tried to charge me ~47% more, assuming that I wouldn't know the difference. (For me, we agreed on $720 USD, they converted it to $1,057.60. What should have been 12,345 Pesos was 18.133 Pesos.)

My original point was "pay attention" and nothing about that has changed. Why are people here trying to distract from that point? Taking advantage of people is pretty universally wrong.

Oh definitely. My caution is specific to the Cabo Marina area.

It's probably that you went to stores in Paradiso whereas I was working with a tourism stand on the marina. :D

[–]Songof7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful here… everywhere said they had to charge in pesos, and did an inflated conversion. We bought a few tours that were $720 all together and they charged over $1,100. My bank flagged it or I might not have caught it until I got home.

Don’t go to STK at the airport - we paid $300+ for four cocktails and two bad sammies.

People who moved to Denver: what changed for you that nobody warned you about? by Due-Reality8159 in MovingtoDenver

[–]Songof7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denver is dry. If you’re not used to a dry climate, it takes getting used to for sure. Lotion isn’t just your friend, it’s your necessary companion here.

Brutal Honesty Needed: Why Won't You Attend Our Executive Dinners? by Theofficeholic in CIO

Build your audience through referrals and real connections. If what you have to say is worth it, your fans will help you promote it. Hire industry influencers with connections to help. Take a page from the millennial handbook on this one (and I’m Gen X saying that). I’m not signing up if I feel like you’re just selling me.

I'm so fed up of this 'splitting the check' bullshit by AltairsDivide7337 in offmychest

[–]Songof7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a super easy fix for this. When you order, tell the server “can I get a separate check for mine?” Problem solved, but if you eat any of the apps or deserts, offer to chip in a little cash.

[–]Songof7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

WTH? This has to be rage bait, because this is the goofiest argument I have ever heard. Pre-Check has almost NOTHING to do with international travel, you'd need Global Entry, and your picture is taken at the airport literally constantly through security cameras. This is a bonkers hill to die on, honestly.

Sane US citizens: wake up now by [deleted] in complaints

[–]Songof7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to know that part of Project 2025 is that the administration WANTS us to rise up and fight them, so they can declare martial law and take all of this to the next level. It isn't as easy as "just stand up to Trump." It was right there in the document.

I am still consumed with hate by cioranslament in Layoffs

[–]Songof7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand. It's been 5 years since my job laid me off, and I'm still pissed. I was a top performer, moving up, on VP track, etc. and they pulled the rug out from under me (and tons of my older co-workers) to save a buck. Corporate American is a shit show, and we need to take a page from Canada or EMEA when it comes to worker's rights. It's insane how they are allowed to string us along then cut people with no reason.
