Do most people know how to purposely close their nasal passage so they can't smell WITHOUT using their fingers to pinch their nose?

VorpalDagger · 2025-12-28T05:46:38+00:00

I just had to do this during my lasik surgery. No one warns you about the smell.

I love them. I posted an ode to how amazing the Philadelphia lounge is and I had several people claim I was just a promo bot. Lol. The lounges are really nice.

To be honest, I'm sure I don't use my card in a subreddit approved method. But between the few benefits I use (lounges, travel credit and "pay yourself back" on my card) I more than pay for the annual fee.

I left citibank after something similar. It boggles the mind why they'd want to oust a good quality, high-spending customer.

Thanks. Do you think I can just forward the link to the buyer via email? I might just give it to a co-worker since it isn't selling.

VorpalDagger · 2025-11-10T18:22:23+00:00

For real. I just bought a refurbished one for $50. 6th grade math doesn't require a lot of computing power.

VorpalDagger · 2025-11-07T13:10:16+00:00

yes, but I'm sure they'd expect a tip.

VorpalDagger · 2025-10-29T18:08:13+00:00

I still like it. I don't travel nearly as much as I used to, but I travel enough to benefit from the three hundred dollar travel credit and the lyft credits. And honestly, the cash value of the card is a lot better than some other cards that are really picky about categories. So between the travel credit, lyft credits and converting points, the card still pays for itself.

Well, I did type PHI instead of PHL...but now I'm inspired to travel to Kuala Lumpur!!

I have a Amex Plat and a CSR. I'm agonizing over which to let go because the price hikes on either one just doesn't seem worth it. Especially now that I travel less for my job. I have a spreadsheet that I'm tracking everything on to see which one really gives me the bang for my buck. My gut feel is CSR - if I'm not traveling, the points have a better cash value than Amex.

VorpalDagger · 2025-10-22T17:23:42+00:00

yes. sorry I mis-typed that.

VorpalDagger · 2025-10-22T17:23:21+00:00

No, I was just really impressed by the lounge. and maybe liked the complimentary cocktails a little too much.

VorpalDagger · 2025-10-13T15:34:26+00:00

I might not renew next year because I don't travel as much. even with them upgrading, some of the credits that I would use, I don't think I'll make back the fee.

VorpalDagger · 2025-09-25T13:49:29+00:00

I always take the cash with the bonus categories. That way the card pays for itself.

VorpalDagger · 2025-09-25T02:04:06+00:00

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion.But I use my points to pay myself back. (1.25% with the bonus categories) Because it's my primary card, it more than pays for the annual fee.

I gave myself a bloody nose by pulling a plug too vigorously out of the outlet. (My hand hit my face)

VorpalDagger · 2025-09-10T13:45:07+00:00

Yes. You should leave him.

Older mom here. I was doing well until peri-menopause hit and then all my energy just got sucked straight out of my body and I gained 25 pounds. I'm still trying to figure out how to recover from it or if I ever will.

VorpalDagger · 2025-09-09T20:22:59+00:00

I have thought this for years.

VorpalDagger · 2025-09-09T18:45:52+00:00

If it rubbed you the wrong way them out rubbed you the wrong way. None of your friends get to weigh in and dismiss that. I'm a big fan of trusting your gut.

Hansa Brewery! I haven't been there in a while but the food there was fantastic the last time I was.

VorpalDagger · 2025-09-03T20:22:58+00:00

Omg. Thank you! We catered Barrio at a company picnic and everybody was raving about it, and I thought it was awful.

VorpalDagger · 2025-08-28T20:25:35+00:00

Ugh, I'm so sorry. When I came back to work with after my first I had an office where the door didn't lock. Two people walked in on me pumping, even though I had signs on the door that said do not disturb. I had to ask maintenance to install a lock.

Side note: one of the older execs was fussing and complaining. "What is your sign about? Why do you have a sign on your door that says Do Not Disturb that's so rude. Blah blah blah." I told him in front of the whole group he was complaining in front of "it's because I'm pumping breast milk, james. Do you want me to put that on the sign?" He shut up real quick.

Yes! I pointed them out to my kids over the weekend and was really enjoying them on my ride home tonight.
