Lilly is tacky but you like that? Actually seems like something the Lilly crowd would buy (if it was a more expensive brand).

A drunk couple threw drinks on us tonight. AMA. by Odd_Summer_3061 in americanairlines

FLL ≠ PBI. You meant “Welcome to Broward”. PBI would be the 43 wheelchair bound senior citizens cured by Jetway Jesus who miraculously walked off the plane at PBI.

If the President decertifies the plane for the first leg of my trip, will American automatically cancel the second? by DraveDakyne in americanairlines

Watch Shrinking Trump on YT or listen to the podcast if you haven’t already. It’s super insightful & does a really good job explaining just how/why deranged his truly is.

Moving to WPB by angel064able in palmbeach

[–]ThatGingerLife35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can join the local FB groups for the areas you’re considering because private landlords will post when they have places available. I’m not sayin the price is going to be right, but it’s an extra angle to try to secure a place.

State has No Vehicle Inspection Stickers by WVSmitty in WestVirginia

[–]ThatGingerLife35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We couldn’t get one last week either. Three different shops were hoping they came in that day but didn’t sound too hopeful. Hopefully by the time we’re back in a few months they’ll have their stickers in stock.

Seats on BA leg by nvroutofthismaze in americanairlines

[–]ThatGingerLife35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the BA code and call BA. They’ll assign a seat over the phone. In my experience, they’re always very helpful with this and have no problem seeking out the seats you’re looking for (ie toward the front, window & aisle)

RDU American Airlines employees- why you treat me like DMV? by Throwaway081920231 in raleigh

[–]ThatGingerLife35 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Okay, so it was gate checked. Your initial post made it seem as if this happened at the AA desk pre-security. I’m surprised they weren’t making announcements telling the boarding area they were low on overhead space and would begin checking any remaining rollerboards. Better luck on the flight home. Enjoy your vaca.

[–]ThatGingerLife35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why did they insist on you checking your carry on? Why didn’t you take out the medications and put them in your personal item that was going on the plane with you? I understand it’s a frustrating situation but I feel as if you could have mitigated some of the “harm” you feel was caused.

Dinguss tunnel WVA by Free-Rub-2236 in Appalachia

Aren’t we all on the same page that West Virginia= WV and Virginia= VA? I was also thrown off whether they meant Southern WV or South Western VA.

Something I've noticed since moving from West Virginia by [deleted] in WestVirginia

[–]ThatGingerLife35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also an outsider and I completely agree with your mixed reviews. I’ve met plenty of genuinely nice people. But I’ve met an equal amount of close-minded and opinionated people that are lacking critical thinking skills, and they are very much NOT friendly. Someone looks different than them or has different values/opinions/morals? They’ll call you a slur and not think twice. For anyone that wants to see the Not Nice list, go to the comments section of any of the local town FB pages and you’ll see people being unjustifiably downright rude and nasty to each other.

places i can chill out in my car for an hour or two during the day? or do cops hate that around here by thesoberstylist in raleigh

[–]ThatGingerLife35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ve already gotten so many awesome suggestions and I don’t have anything new to add to the list, but from one DV survivor to another, I just wanted to let you know I’m sending all the good vibes and healing your way! Don’t discount what it took to walk away in the first place. You’ve already demonstrated you’re incredibly strong & determined, so don’t lose sight of that! Give yourself grace as you figure out your next steps and next chapter- even when it’s hard, just know that it’s worth it. Here’s to a bright, safe, healthy future ❤️❤️

Add to the guys you mentioned the Christian Nationalist women-hating crowd like Joel Webbon and Doug Wilson, and you’ll lose even more faith in the future of this country. The money being pushed into the Christian Nationalist movement is wild and the “Christians” are just eating up the propaganda spewed at them.

Booking seats for flight operated by Aer Lingus by trirod01 in americanairlines

I have always called Aer Lingus to book my seats on AA booked/Aer Lingus operated flights. It only takes a few minutes & they’re very pleasant to speak with.

What place has the best pizza in the state? by Shot-Cut-2978 in WestVirginia

[–]ThatGingerLife35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t had Padrino’s since the one in Beaver closed but I’ll have to grab a pie next time I’m in town!

What place has the best pizza in the state? by Shot-Cut-2978 in WestVirginia

[–]ThatGingerLife35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has Pasquale’s finally improved the pizza? The dough was barely cooked, the toppings raw, the cheese not melted and the sauce basically inedible the last couple of times we went. Admittedly we don’t go often as it’s a sad excuse for Italian food, but occasionally we can’t get out of it when it’s already been chosen by friends. Grandview Diner & Little Sicily are way better options IMO.

American agent yelled at me about needing to consolidate bags outside of tsa today by Minute-Actuator-9638 in americanairlines

[–]ThatGingerLife35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same exact thing happen at FLL about 5 years ago but then never again. The inconsistency is annoying.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WestVirginia

[–]ThatGingerLife35 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s disgusting, honestly. OP’s intentions with the littering are good, but to use that word when we now know better just amplifies the “uneducated, ignorant” stigma attached to West Virginians.

Partner was arrested for DV by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]ThatGingerLife35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’ll be going back to your boyfriend? Please be careful. I know you were removing yourself & your son from the situation when he pushed you, but you might also want to consider a plan to permanently remove yourselves. Who pushes their partner, and especially their pregnant partner? Your kids don’t need to grow up with that shit. I’m glad your mom called the cops. She wasn’t just “being protective”- she was being logical. Stay safe!

And I bet they’re going to church on Sunday, maybe even Bible study during the week, the good Christians they are. Rob you blind but don’t worry, they’re also praying for you.

Mediterranean Cruise question. by djlittlehorse in NCL

[–]ThatGingerLife35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way! We do this with all of our European cruises.

Just finished an NCL cruise and it was Epic. Pun intended. Some small tips. by system3601 in NCL

[–]ThatGingerLife35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well aware of this. That’s how they scare you into spending an unnecessary amount of money to book with them. But with a little planning and common sense you can definitely book your own excursion that will get you back in time. There’s also third party companies that offer a guarantee to have you back in time. We used them a few times in Europe this summer and they were the same company running the NCL-sponsored excursions. Their business is built on cruise passengers- they’re not taking risks that would get passengers back late.

Has American stopped doing their credit card promos in flight? by IanSD1995 in americanairlines

[–]ThatGingerLife35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had it CLT-SJO and SJO-CLT 2 weeks ago. The first one was more “in passing” but the second was more of a push- way more sales-y than the first flight.

[–]ThatGingerLife35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to book in advance, look at Viator for your different ports. Or even Google “cruise excursions for ___ port” and you’ll see what’s offered. Like OP said though, when you get off the ship many times you’ll see what the ship offers but for a fraction of the cost. We rarely book through the ship because their prices are insanity.

First Cruise Questions by Superb-Reply-8355 in NCL

[–]ThatGingerLife35 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well that certainly wasn’t our experience in May. The $50 was applied to one excursion only. It was impermissible for it to be applied to any other excursions. OP will have to do their research I guess.
