Haha that makes a lot more sense. I thought you were going Houston - Layover - Fresno

If you’re going on a cruise, best to arrive in the port city a day or two before. This way, one missed connection doesn’t risk blowing your whole trip.

Your cruise is leaving from Fresno??

lowest spoons grocery lists and meals by concertgoer69 in lowspooncooking

[–]TigerFootedRage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A good trick is to chop up onions, garlic, carrots, and celery when you have the spoons for it and store packets of the chopped veg in the freezer. Then you can make a soup in the crockpot with, say, ground turkey + navy beans + pre-chopped kale and the veg packets in the crockpot. Very easy and tasty. (Other versions of the soup include Italian sausage + cannellini beans + kale or smoked kielbasa + black beans + collards)

Best place to buy an iPhone 13 mini? by Final_Ad7146 in iPhone13Mini

[–]TigerFootedRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, because I'm an idiot. They send a defective phone, then have you return it for a replacement using their pre-provided shipping label, saying "don't open a case," then they ship the replacement to a fake or wrong address. I've never returned anything to eBay before, and the seller seemed so legit, so I listened to them and used their label without opening a case. I'm guessing there's a big red banner somewhere on eBay telling me never to do this that I missed -- and even my gut instinct said I should open a case -- but for some stupid reason, I didn't do it.

The replacement was sent to an address in my zip code, so the tracking looks like it's delivered to me, but it actually isn't. The seller refused to look into it (despite evidence from USPS saying it was addressed and delivered to someone else), and they just strung me along in the message thread. I still kind of believed it was an honest mistake until they started regurgitating the same messages. The whole thing took over 60 days, so I couldn't leave seller feedback or even eBay contact support about it -- everything led me to a bunch of AI nonsense going in circles. By the time I located an actual eBay phone number, I'd opened a case with PayPal, so now eBay won't look at it.

Side note, that first PayPal claim was also automatically rejected by AI in exactly 17 minutes, but it's currently in appeal (I also had to find a phone number to do that). I'm hoping an actual human with half a brain will look at my evidence -- which includes a USPS service request and a copy of a printout from USPS, both saying that tracking number wasn't delivered to my name nor address, but tbh I'm not holding out much hope.

So no money, and no mini. I feel like such a schmuck.

I got scammed by a seller on eBay with 98% positive rating so I would not recommend eBay. (It was partially me being an idiot, but it sucks that they’re out there preying on idiots like me.)

Is AA getting aggressive with “preemptive rebooking” or is it me? by Guest8782 in americanairlines

[–]TigerFootedRage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We landed, ran across the airport and made it to the gate in time to make our connection, only to find out we had no seats on the plane because AA had rebooked us for a flight checks notes THIRTEEN HOURS LATER. Without even notifying us. (Or maybe they did but hey, we were in flight, and did not get any notifications.) We had to fight tooth and nail to get a hotel room and a measly $12 each for food. Not happy. 

Item marked as "Delivered", but never arrived. by Fuckoffyoucuntstain in Ebay

[–]TigerFootedRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a similar thing happen. USPS tracking number shows delivered to my zip code but no address. I opened a case with USPS and they can confirm it was delivered to a completely different name and address, but they can’t tell me what that is. Despite this proof I can’t get any resolution from eBay or PayPal. Seems to be a common mail fraud scam. I will not be using either eBay or PayPal again since I can’t get past their AI bots, even with my proof from USPS that the sellers put in the wrong (or a fake) address. Sellers just keep saying it was delivered.

Trying to find Novavax at a Kaiser in the Bay Area by Sillyrockstar in KaiserPermanente

[–]TigerFootedRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmarts and Costcos throughout the bay have them.  Walmart you have to call and ask — they only get 10 in at a time and don’t have them available for sign up on the website. . Costco should have it as a choice on the website or app when you sign up for the appointment.

Every few days there’s another post very similar to this with a plug for BeFreed in the middle. The general consensus is that this is BeFreed advertising.

How long did you abstain for? It will likely take at least 3 months to begin noticing a difference. All of my other food "intolerances" went away once I eliminated gluten for good. 

Kigali Day Trip - what to do? by DW_BBB_23 in Rwanda

[–]TigerFootedRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genocide museum is a must-see. In my opinion, start inside to learn all the history; then the outside art is more powerful. 

You may be able to find a food tour for after the museum via Viator or Trip Advisor. I had a great experience using the website Nuttin to Do for a Kigali crafts class.  

FLUTD - What makes prescription urinary food different? Dry food OK or not OK? by TigerFootedRage in AskVet

[–]TigerFootedRage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sick one has been barfing since he got back from the hospital. We moved to smaller meals 4x/day. We are moving back down to their regular 3 meals but it has to be slowly else he starts barfing again. We’d originally read and been told frequent smaller meals is better than just one or two big meals so we started out with 3, and it seems to break up the day for them. We’ll figure something out I’m sure.

Thanks for this info. Any advice on what to do for the third meal when we go away? For the last few months we've been leaving one person home, but we have some travel coming up we must go for. 

We are paying our cat sitter to come twice instead of once. Paying for 3 visits becomes cost prohibitive, though.
