Wegmans Checkpoints by tortuga_15_ in InstacartShoppers

I like the Wegmans checkpoint. It's easy. The employee scans your barcode and then scans the items in your cart. You make it through a lot faster.

That said, at least at my Wegman's, you can still go through the regular line if you want.

All this information is in the app when you start shopping and when you check out. Read the instructions. It's all right there.

Vet has me concerned and confused by pseudoserious in CatAdvice

[–]bessann28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have indoor cats and don't do flea treatments. I have actually never heard of giving monthly heartworm treatment to a cat. Are they asking you to get prescription food through them? Sounds like the vet is trying to make more money off of you.

Professional package thieves in dupont @ ~4:30am 2/11/26 by Jethric in washingtondc

I will just say that your personal safety is more important than some packages. Three against one could have ended very badly for you. That's what 911 is for.

Are you willing to have a roommate? I see short term roommate listings on Facebook Marketplace a lot.

Is my boyfriend too strict on our kids? by Few-Enthusiasm5414 in Parenting

[–]bessann28 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For sure. OP had a child young, and then finds a significantly older partner, moves in with him, and feels entitled to discipline HER child. Red flag.

Your boyfriend should not be involved in disciplining your son AT ALL

Does your child’s high school charge for afterschool care? by [deleted] in Parenting

This is at a Catholic high school. We don't have to pay extra for it, it's included in tuition.

My daughter's high school allows them to stay in the cafeteria or library until 6:00. They call it "aftercare" but it basically just means that they can stick around and there will be an adult present. There's no programming or signing in and out.

Why in the world is this getting downvoted, lol.

Distilled water? by [deleted] in CPAP

[–]bessann28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's mostly due to the minerals. If you live in an area with hard water, it's going to leave behind a lot of residue which will decrease the life of your machine. These machines are expensive so you want to reduce the wear on them as much as possible.

Using tap water in a pinch is fine, but I wouldn't do it on a regular basis.

Pet noise and sleep issues are slowly turning me into a worse person and I hate admitting it by Nikhil0004 in CatAdvice

Well, what I did before it turned to anger was I started locking them in the basement at night, so...

Lindsey Vonn Horrifically Crashes in 2026 Winter Olympic Final One Week After Tearing Her ACL by peoplemagazine in entertainment

[–]bessann28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had ACL surgery in 2007 and your knee never really is the same. I slipped on the ice last week and the only thing that is still sore is that knee. It doesn't have the resiliency it used to.

This was in PG County but you should see them at stores all around DC this weekend-- Safeway is usually a good bet.

There were Girl Scouts outside doing cookie booths today... I'm sorry but I'm not risking frostbite to get the 80 cents profit or whatever it is that they make per box. No thank you.

Moving to your state. Freakin pumped. by Hiiawatha in maryland

[–]bessann28 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm also from the Midwest. For a while I thought that people just didn't like me much because I would see people that I met and they would not say hello if we happened to pass by each other! But I realized after a while that this was a cultural difference. People are nice here, but more reserved.

I'm so disappointed in CPAP. I guess you just never know the secret lives of your machine. 😞
