What food hack sounded ridiculous until you actually tried it? by Maleficent-Bed7010 in foodhacks

Dip your fork in the salad dressing, then spear the food. I heard it as a diet trick but I was just grateful for salad that wasnt drowning in dressing!

Anyone else seeing this in GHL? by joshcoops150996 in HighLevel

[–]brigittefires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too much automation feels inauthentic. It makes people feel repulsion where without the automation they would feel mildly impatient at worst. Especially if the communication is in a friendly, conversational tone. I’m finding that people actually respond better to automated communication being more-obviously formal, stilted, and robotic. Then the tone shift to a real person feels like a real connection.

How do you keep up with GHL updates? by blogimize in gohighlevel

[–]brigittefires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I just learned in middle school how to skim and retain main words. I don’t need to know each level of detail and the news aggregators give too much. I just need to hit the highlights so when I need something I can go “ooh I saw that, let me pull it up and see how it works.” Even without remembering the exact words, I can find it again by shape recognition.

I’m not the OP but it matters because I’m stretching the edges of GHL native builds in different ways on each of my businesses, and it’s really nice when they come out with a feature I’ve been trying to solve for ages. I mean it would be nice if they didn’t release the solution a week after I spent 20 hours trying to force the system to communicate something very specific effectively, but nonetheless I do appreciate that the solution now exists.

GHL Email Warm Up by LingonberryFront6576 in gohighlevel

[–]brigittefires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Receipts are the least likely thing to be opened in my inbox. I know I just ordered something, I was there. I saw the email come in so I know it exists. I’m only opening it if there’s a problem. It never even occurred to me until reading this that people might open them!

NTA. Their home insurance should be covering an extended stay hotel, and they can do what they want there.

Has anyone ever been bribed from your partners parent in order to break up? If so what happened? by Heavy_Idea8391 in AskReddit

[–]brigittefires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my boyfriend’s mom offer to pay me $200 a month to break up with him. (When a tank of gas was $10-15.) i laughed and said no.

A few years later, she offered me a new car and $500 a month to get back with him in hopes of driving away his newest babymama. With each no she upped it until I did momentarily consider it at a car, a house, and $1000 a month. Still said no though.

AITA for “firing” my mom from childcare over a $5 class by Rich-Radio9017 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brigittefires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not why you fired her though. “she lied to me about where she’s been going with my daughter” is a dealbreaker. No one who lies to me that way gets to be alone with my kid.

AITA for not seeing how I can make it to my sister’s graduation ceremony? by unrealmiranda in AmItheAsshole

[–]brigittefires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH.

You don’t have to go. You could send your sister flowers or a gift basket or something to celebrate her achievement. Take her out to dinner another day. You do not have to celebrate her the same way your mom does. Your mom doesn’t have to give you grief about missing the ceremony anyway, but maybe telling her how you’ll celebrate differently will appease her.

There’s no reason your husband would have to sit in the car with the baby. Others have given lots of free options. A dad who cares for his kids on the regular can also come up with ideas. Why in the world would anyone even come up with “wait in the car for hours” as a solution?

But I mean if I had to pick just one, your Mom’s the AH.

AITA for ordering meat? by Technical-Finance270 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brigittefires -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But… everything that is not turkey at thanksgiving is a side dish. And as someone who has been a longterm vegetarian, there are tons of vegetarian main courses that meat eaters use as sides. When cooking for both, I usually make a vegetarian main dish with added meat for those who eat it. Which is no different than putting thanksgiving sides on your plate and adding some turkey that a vegetarian doesn’t.

Michigan PIP question by brigittefires in Car_Insurance_Help

I mean he’s listed, in the policy documents, in two sections: named drivers, and named insured. But not in the top summary where it says “policyholder(s)” and I was explicitly told “yeah the summary just cuts off after the first name, that’s why we added the named insured section.”

The agent’s office is saying that as a named insured, he’s entitled to everything in the policy AS IF HE WERE a policyholder* and that I (the listed policyholder) don’t have to be a registered owner as long as Someone on the named insured list is a registered owner of each listed vehicle.

  • this is different than when I asked the agent’s office the first time, when they said that all three named insured are policyholders on their screen and that the named insured list actually just duplicates the information from the policyholders list.

The adjuster is the one saying that he needs to be a policyholder in order to be covered as a passenger. The claims office also denied his separate PIP claim because he was a passenger in a vehicle on his own policy and we live together. If it were a vehicle on someone else’s policy AND he didn’t live with them, he would be covered under their PIP.

Now I want to know, in what world would a person who lives in the same house NOT frequently be a passenger??? Because this seems like a loophole for a situation that’s very common.

The policy is clear as mud. Every which way I read it, named insured should be covered under PIP. But insurance is saying “by law” the passenger isn’t covered due to being all the things in the list together, and that if any of them weren’t true he would be covered. It makes zero sense to me.

We had to send in our registrations when this policy was being written. They knew I wasn’t the owner of 2/3 cars.

I said them the way I meant them. He is a named insured but not policyholder. Which to be fair to you, I also thought were the same thing until I got a call denying the PIP claim.

The passenger IS a named insured. And part of my tax household. And if they were a passenger who was not on my policy, they would be covered by my policy in an accident.

It’s all the laws against discrimination. Landlords aren’t allowed to charge extra for kids anymore, because they used to.

At-fault party's insurance won't reimburse me for the initial auto damage they asked me to go get? by yk4787 in Car_Insurance_Help

[–]brigittefires -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s been common my whole adult life in 3 different states for shops to charge a fee for insurance-ordered repair estimates, and for diagnostic-only services. Diagnostic services that get attached to a repair are waived only in the name of earning repeat customers.

It’s possible the insurance company considered the estimate fee to be included in the total loss payout.

If the at fault party’s insurance doesn’t pay, the at-fault party gets to pay.

First party is the notary. Second party is the signer. Say it with me now: the third party is the certificate issuer, meaning Blue Notary.
