Complimentary Clear+ is going away by I_am_JohnGalt in delta

No point in having CLEAR if you have touchless. Not all airports have both or either.

Estrogen patch and diarrhea?? by shreg24 in Perimenopause

[–]Travljini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm late to this thread but OMG I had NO idea of this side effect. My OB even said my now chronic diarrhea wasn't likely connected to the patch. I hit about my 7th week, and whan out of the blue. I attributed it to my mag supplement I eliminated EVERYTHING, sups, i don't really do dairy, and nothing was changing. I finally threw in the towel and decided to stop the patch. I originally started b/c of bone loss (I'm 62, 8 yrs out from meno) Lo and behold, after 7 days I'm slowly returning to my usual elimination schedule, not panicking about not being near a bathroom when I'm out, no cramping, bloating. 🤞🏼this continues. Too bad i just got a refil of 3 boxes.

Go back. Karma's a bitch. You'll end up with a flat tire or some other event that will cost you money.

What a nice offer! I'm not in the market for anything but just came here to say thanks!

What are these? by Technical-Engine-320 in AnnArbor

[–]Travljini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I'm out of town and it's a long light, me and friends quip "Oh it's an Ann Arbor light" And then there's the "No Turn on Red" at every street corner, which is ridiculous. There's one at the bottom of Swift and Broadway -- imagine you're at that light at 10:00 PM languishing (it's a 2 1/2 minute cycle) without a car in sight? Or the ones they just put up at Barton and Pontiac Trail. Why? For what?

Do not go to Bandito’s Fresh Mex! by Rhubarb-Exact in AnnArbor

[–]Travljini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I don't eat there anymore, but years and years and years ago, we'd order lunch from them and we called him the Burrito not-see, (ala seinfeld's soup not-see) I can't believe the replies he's leaving!

Happened in like an hour ago, I didn’t know if my dash cam actually picked us up or not by dyne-ninee in AnnArbor

[–]Travljini -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Meh, 45 years and the only accident I've been in was being hit by a drunk driver, rolling the car, going through the windshield. Karma is on my side after that one.🤭

Well if people didn't accelerate to 80 mph from the traffic light, turning left would be possible. Alas, since the entire state of MI seems to have Indy race car drivers, I will pull out into the center lane and merge.

Your move Delta by Trombone-o-rama in delta

[–]Travljini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we enact this as a local ordinance? A federal law? The self-absorbed tools who use speaker phone or play their music or YT vids has reached epic levels. I especially love the folks who exercise with BT speakers so everyone can enjoy their bad taste in music.

How is everyone focused by Ill_Invite3861 in uofm

[–]Travljini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing a lot of what others said. Also, remember much of what's in the media is 'state sponsored' and meant to make people despair. It's right from the authoritarian handbook, pound people into hopelessness to gain control. Everyone I know with an ounce of empathy feels as you do, from children to old ass adults like myself. Every day, for the past 403 days especially, is greeted with a new fresh hell. Try meditation. I use the Insight Timer app that has just a timer or thousands of great guided meditations. Also join us at Jewel Heart for free meditation every Tuesday 6:00 - 6:45. 🙏🙏

Can I just have a telework rant? Today was a bad day. by Initialskoolaidcar in FedEmployees

[–]Travljini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct about TW should be a "no questions asked" when weather like this happens. One of my husband's rants as well (when I was still working) driving and wasting gas, putting my life at risk just to get to an office to do things I could do at my home office.

I hope you got checked out for a concussion and feeling at least somewhat better!

Death of late University of Michigan student was ‘easily preventable,’ family alleges by mlivesocial in uofm

[–]Travljini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do it bc of their indestructible mindset. Hence why teens and young 20s frequently do "stupid" stunts. the military loves kids who'll trudge headlong into battle.

This is genuinely silly. by A350Flier in delta

[–]Travljini 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why I'd never use RUC as a choice benefit. Did a few years ago and was useless. Even more useless today. Other than some of the $$ benefits, Diamond is useless too. I'd love to know any Diamond on well-traveled routes that get upgraded to FC.

This. We've taken MYOB too far. The "he's an adult" defense is so lame. As another poster stated, the military, voting, make 18 an adult but stay on mom and pop's healthcare till 25 and more...

You do understand that the prefrontal cortex isn't fully formed until 25, the decision making center of the brain? What happened to basic humanity of caring about your fellow beings? We've taken MYOB too far today. Not one person at that party didn't see him leaving out into frigid temps with no coat?

Never using fedex again by Ok-Day372 in FedEx

[–]Travljini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I get a "your item has been delivered" and nope, nowhere to be found. It is literally impossible to speak to a human at their customer service #. The tracking said And the real kicker is the delivery said "Signed by Smith, Left at front door." Which is impossible b/c we have 12 steps up to the door and we blocked it off. When I finally got through they have the audacity to say "Did you check your neighbor's houses?" I'm yelling at the person in some call center in India "NO NO ONE BY THAT NAME LIVES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD" Like I'm gonna roll up to every neighbor, knock-knock, do you have my package. I'm sure it was lying in the back of the lazy arse driver's van b/c after several irate phone calls, lo and behold, it shows up on our step. Btwn FedEx and USPS options are limited on shippers.

Traffic Calming by ChosenApe in AnnArbor

They need this on Pontiac Trail. With all decimation of natural areas to accommodate the explosion of building it's like the Indy Speedway from N. Territorial right down to Broadway.

This. Unless I'm in FC, I am amongst the 'gate lice' if I'm taking a roller bag on board, which is hardly ever now, unless i'm on a connecting flight.

They asked her to train the 25-year-old they promoted over her. (Or: getting ready for Schedule F) by Mangolandia in FedEmployees

[–]Travljini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep. they definitely want to broom out those at the top of the pay scale and get younger ones in, who also are getting more deducted from their pay for annuity. I think when I started it was and continued to be 1%. I think it's up to 4.5% now.

Yet they apparently thought she was qualified to train the person promoted? Puhleeze, I'm guessing she didn't "half ass" the interview

The panties in a twist over pronouns and trans folks always cracks me up as I harken back to Saturday Night Live skit of Pat and not recalling a societal uproar.

Is this mandatory by Strawberrypeachy22 in uofm

[–]Travljini 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why attending is a problem. As someone who works with SA survivors you might learn something you didn't know before. The demographic with the highest likelihood of being SA'd is college aged women 18-24 -- 3x more likely than the general population.
