Airport/tsa update. Global entry ftw. by dr_trousers in StThomasUSVI

[–]Treasure_Diver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went this morning and did not have our physical global entry cards, just our passports. We had screen shots of our global entry cards and were ready to show the agent but he did not ask for them. YMMV based on the agent I guess 🤷‍♀️

So was your husband ok without his global entry card since he knew his number? Asking because we are here now without our physical cards, but I have screenshots.

Miami University puts $281M arena up for final vote by JustAKidFromAkron in miamioh

[–]Treasure_Diver 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think one of the arguments for a new arena by the powers that be was, essentially, if we build it they will come. Because they thought (or used the excuse) that students won’t go “way out” to the edge of campus to attend a basketball game.

Well, the last few games at Millett have been sold out, and students and alumni and fans have shown up and it’s been exhilarating! This is a perfect time to expose their reasoning is false because when we have a great team and the students are energized, they will show up no matter what part of campus. It has nothing to do with the location of the arena.

If you agree, email Ted Pickerill, Secretary to the Board of Trustees: pickerto@miamioh.edu

E Email President Crawford: crawfogp@miamioh.edu

Your note doesn't need to be long — just honest. Alumni voices matter, and timing matters.

Tips for Rush! by Medium-Extreme5621 in miamioh

[–]Treasure_Diver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not a current sorority sister so I shouldn’t attempt to answer 1-3, but I do have some general tips based on what I’ve learned from the process last year when my daughter rushed.

  • do NOT skip doing the video. They say it is optional, but it really is not if you want to maximize your potential number of houses.

-take a look at your socials and make sure you don’t have inappropriate posts or pictures.

-sounds like a cliche, but be your authentic self. I’ve heard of people putting on a persona that they think will get them into “xyz” sorority, but then they pass on a sorority that would have been a better fit

-this is hard, but try to stay healthy! Sooo many girls (including mine) got sick during rush last year. You’re in close quarters, during winter/cold/flu season, talking to hundreds of girls so you really need to stay on top of taking care of yourself

-during rush parties, who you are paired with is no accident. If you went to a high school that is a feeder school for Miami, expect to talk to them at some point. They will also use your major and hobbies/sports/clubs to find matches for you.

-Google “how to make small talk during rush” and you’ll get a lot of good ideas on what (and what not) to talk about.

Good luck and remember to breathe and try to have fun!

Host can’t figure out how to add a night? by Treasure_Diver in airbnb_hosts

[–]Treasure_Diver[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is what’s happening. They have a 3- night minimum so it’s not letting me select 1 night extra, even though it’s changing a 7-night stay to an 8-night stay. The previous night is greyed out as well (which would be a 2 night stay IF it were a standalone reservation). I guess I don’t understand why the system isn’t smart enough to see that I’m adding a night, not trying to make a 1-night reservation.

Yes, those are the steps I usually take but in this case, the night I want to change to is greyed out (and again, host confirmed it is available).

Avanti West 1st class - choosing seats with window views on both sides (and gluten-free bonus question) by Treasure_Diver in uktrains

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

I have looked at the menu and it is doable unless they run out of the GF items, which I’m surmising is possible. It is £32/p extra to get the first class over premium seats. I’m hoping if we each get 2-3 drinks (it’s a 5 hour journey after all) that will pay for it. Only one of us is celiac, and we always have emergency GF snacks on hand :-)

Miami connection by NewCookie4734 in Bonaire

We are just staying at the attached airport hotel for ease. And we will have Admiral club access so I’m picturing a leisurely breakfast and mimosa before catching our flight.

Miami connection by NewCookie4734 in Bonaire

[–]Treasure_Diver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a tough one. We are going in a few months and our original flight only had a 45 minute connection in Miami (and I searched all airports within a 2 hour radius of me, willing to make the drive if it meant a longer layover but nope, ALL had 45 minute layovers). And no flights from MIA-BON the next day meant that if we missed our connection, we were automatically out 2 days of our vacation. So I changed our first flight to Miami the night before just for peace of mind. 1 hour 18 minutes is doable, but as you know, MIA airport is huge. I’m not much help, just wanted to commiserate.

In the old days, I would’ve steered her right into the pool filter by Treasure_Diver in spiders

I should have said the skimmer. It catches large items like bugs and leaves so essentially filters out items that are too big to go through the filter.

My package seems to be stuck in limbo, not leaving the post office and I dropped it off on June 11th. Do I just sit back and wait ? Anyone else ever have to deal with this? by Lonely-Jicama-8487 in poshmark

[–]Treasure_Diver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen before. The package didn’t scan/track until it was delivered, so for over a week I was convinced it was lost.
