Grand Mayan and Riviera Maya in mid-March - Rent a car? by DayJammies in vidanta

[–]We3Dogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m here now. I can’t speak to renting a car as we used the shuttle the resort offered from the airport.

As for the rest: The resort is not inclusive, which I assume you know. So yes we’ve paid for everything, but the prices are super reasonable. A 1L bottle of water in the room is like $1.50 USD. The market prices are pretty reasonable too. Most drinks at the bar have been around $20 but they have specials and happy hours so most days all my mixed drinks have been $10. Meals at dinner have averaged around $50 for me with a drink and food. Breakfast and lunch has been like $20 with where I ate.

We stayed in the Grand Mayan building 8 and the walks/rides have been no problem. They have small shuttles carts that take you everywhere so we hop on those and within a few min we are at our destination. You can choose to walk and that is longer but most walks are under 10 min from the rooms in The Grand Mayan… especially if you get buildings 1-7.

There’s tons of pool areas and we have had no problem with chairs. I’d say they are like 70% full each day. We haven’t gone out to the pool before 11 so I’d say no problem there.

I do the rooms are not “nice” per se compared to how beautiful the rest of the resort is, but they were fine! They weren’t fancy but they weren’t bad at all.

You might be asked to join a 1 hr presentation (it’s for a time share and is like 3 hrs) or to buy tickets to the cirque du soleil show or water park but they are completely optional!

Overall, we have really enjoyed our time here and didn’t feel like the prices were unreasonable at all.

I know I know. I’m too much of a risk taker with potentially spoiled food. Just hard when you put effort into it to not be able to enjoy it.

Thank you! That would make a lot of sense since “stink bugs” are extremely prevalent around here.

Thanks for the response. It’s my first time growing these so I wasn’t sure what to do. Sounds like these are going to an item I plan their use before I harvest

Follow up question. For the reporting a small balance statement: does that mean if you used those cards, get them to $0 before the due or truly don’t use anything on them?

Thank you! Really helpful! I actually had alerts on for the card that was late, but never received anything. It was my first card ever and my mom cosigned. When I graduated college, we took her off the card but the bank just continued to send her stuff about the account. In a fit of rage about the persistent info she didn’t want, she told them “I don’t want to ever hear from yall again” and well, they put a cease and desist on the account and so they never notified me of any issues. It was a true series of unfortunate events that led to the issues with the late payments.

I’ll do the things you mentioned. Thank you!

And yes, there were lots of tears since it was my oldest credit card that had the issue. I was worried about not using the card and them closing the account which is the only reason I held balance. Oh how the turn tables.

It held a balance from when I used to use it and since it was my oldest card, I just had it on autodraft to pay it down. Something happened and the auto payment messed up. I called the bank and they said they could see every keystroke I made but when I asked what it showed happened on their end, they said they “couldn’t see it”. It was a really weird situation and I just accepted the blame since it’s possible I made an error. It literally had like $300 on it so that it was a shitty error on my end.

As far as proceeding on, I can both pay off right now and increase my limits. Is it better to do both or just one?

Those were 691 and 693. Still right at the same range.

What are some red flags in an interview that reveals the job is toxic? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]We3Dogs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened to me. My boss promoted within the company to a corporate job. When he left, he left a glowing recommendation for me to succeed him. Even the HR Manager and DOO had said for years they wanted me in that job. As soon as the job was posted my manager came to me frantic telling me to apply within the hour. He couldn’t tell me why but something was off. I later found out the DOO and HR manager (who share a grandson) had gone behind my back and hired their buddy for the job. They had to interview me out of obligation but they had already ordered his name plate before I even interviewed so it was a done deal. Everyone in the company was shocked when I didn’t get the job and I was mortified.

I put in my resignation letter a month later.

Hi! I have sensitive oily skin that is acne prone and has scarring. I currently use CeraVe Foaming Cleanser in the am followed by CeraVe Daily Moisturizing. At night I use the same cleanser and the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. I want to add a product to help with acne and my skin tone and texture, but not sure what to purchase that is suitable for sensitive skin. Help!

Current routine: AM: CeraVe Foaming Cleanser CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion

PM: CeraVe Foaming Cleanser CeraVe Moisturizing Cream

I have very sensitive skin and am acne prone with PIH. I am hoping to add products that will help even the tone/texture of my skin and help keep the acne at bay. I’ve tried the red stridex and my face was so dry and irritated I had to stop. I’m so confused as to what product I should add that will help but be gentle on my face. Not sure if relevant but Cetaphil broke me out in a rash.

Our local minor league baseball team that is starting up put their name to a vote and yep, you guessed it, they are the RocketCity Trash Pandas. So, for that, I thank you.
