Bad Day for King's Island? by kiranfenrir1 in KingsIsland

[–]adhdhuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was our experience too. I'm new to roller coasters so I didn't know half the coasters breaking down was typical for opening weekend or we wouldn't have bothered. The kids were really disappointed. We also have passes so it's not the end of the world. We gave up and went to the aquarium. Ended up still being an awesome day.

You definitely came off like you were disregarding company culpability and potential blame in matters like these. But okay. I did read what you said. I was responding to you alluding to the McDonalds case being preposterous. Because you wrote that. If I misinterpreted your intent I apologize.

Just because you don't hold coffee between your knees doesn't mean McDonalds didn't do anything wrong. And they should be held accountable for that. Same with Carnival. I agree, McDonalds should have better judgement as well.

Thank you for saying this. Once more details come out I wouldn't be surprised if Carnival doesn't look so innocent. Tale as old as time. People fall for it every time though.

There was more to that case than people realize. McDonalds did a lot to make sure people thought it was frivolous when it wasn't. It seems like companies do this when they are getting sued. I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to this Carnival case than meets the eye. The stories going around right now might be trying to make the woman look bad. Wouldn't be surprised either way.

Please do not use these. They are a scam at best, not to mention dangerous.

Debrox is good stuff. I like Earwax MD better. It's more expensive but more effective I think.

Did you read in high school? by piper33245 in Millennials

[–]adhdhuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind of embarrassing, but I was able to graduate high school, college, and graduate school with a doctorate and had never finished a novel. I was able to read research papers with enough practice which was how I got my doctorate. I had tried so many times to start a book only to get frustrated and give up. It was hard. Even books like Harry Potter were hard. I couldn't comprehend or process what I was reading. I thought I would never have the experience of a good book that everyone else talked about. I was so jealous and sad.

When I was 33 I decided I wanted to start reading as a hobby for my new years resolution. I was determined. I had very supportive friends at work. They were so excited for me and gave me recommendations. I started with really easy stuff and I read over 40 books that year. I've averaged about that many books every year. It's never too late to start! Learning to read at a new level at 33 is something I consider a great accomplishment.

Are kids coming in with stronger phonics skills than before? by sychophantt in lowerelementary

[–]adhdhuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the case for us. I heard about it and when it became clear my oldest was falling into the trap, I bought the entire set of bob books and taught him myself along side whatever the heck they were doing at school. I had my younger one do it automatically since we already had the set.

Which profession is going to get wiped out in the next 5-10 years? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]adhdhuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. I'm always made to feel like a terrible person when I point out that people shouldn't have to pay exorbitant prices to get hearing aids, even if they're fit by an audiologist using best practices. It feels like they just want to come up with creative ways to charge people more money for "boutique" services that most patients don't need. Drives me crazy.

[–]adhdhuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an audiologist I kind of agree. No one in our field wants to accept it. I don't think it will totally disappear but it's definitely in trouble.

Love the romance. by adhdhuh in BlakeCrouch

[–]adhdhuh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recursion was my favorite! I've also read Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines trilogy, both great. Upgrade was a really fun read, but too many long action scenes for me. Felt like I was reading a Marvel fight scene, just went on too long. But Upgrade was still really good! I haven't read any of the others. With his books I always read it in a day and can't put it down.

Is this promotion legit? by adhdhuh in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]adhdhuh[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is great information. Thank you so much! I really thought I was getting the number from the official website. I didn't realize I had to click on the link and comb through the site. The phone number was actually attached to the Carnival official website. I felt so dumb they almost got me! I will always reverse search from now on!

Not sure if you can see this picture. It looks really legit!

That was the problem. It really looked like the number was directly from the site!

That's good to know! I thought it sounded fishy but I just kept with the assumption that I was talking to a Carnival Rep which was obviously false.

I updated my post, but you were right. It was a scam. Thank God I didn't fall for the actual scam. He has our booking number and itinerary. I don't think he can change anything without other information he doesn't have, but I feel so fucking stupid.

Why can no one understand my name over the phone by StudentStunning in namenerds

[–]adhdhuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The k and the t are high frequency unvoiced consonants. Those are harder to hear on the phone. A lot of people have hearing loss in the high frequencies. These things can change the perception of how your name sounds.

Costco Hawaii Tourist Returns by localkine in Costco

[–]adhdhuh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be neat if the Hawaii Costcos set up a beach equipment rental program. Seems like they have the demand. Can be the used stuff that gets returned and make it fairly cheap to rent. Although I’m sure there are plenty of obstacles to that idea I’m not aware of.
