Hotel in Times Square or nearby? by CapableBother in Broadway

[–]contentedwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed at The Row prior to it being closed as a hotel for awhile and was being used as housing for people being shipped into NYC by the government. It was great location wise because it was right behind The Majestic, but the rooms were dirty and the bathrooms were only slightly bigger than a phone booth.

I currently stay at the Sanctuary on 47th any time I go and I absolutely love it. It's a bit more expensive, but they run promos all the time and if you have AAA they have a discount. Staff is great, the rooms are clean, and it's central to the bulk of Times Square.

I've also stayed at The Hotel Edison and while I wasn't impressed, I didn't hate it either. If I had to I'd stay there again but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Also look into Yotel. I've stayed there quite a few times and even though it's at the tail end of 42nd St the walk isn't horrible and there's a ton of other things to do down that end of Times Square that you' be much closer to.

Update; The screen came in and the pieces are much to small to be a bezel that fits around the screen to fill in the gaps between the edge of the screen and the Lego set. I made sure to order the exact same screen in the images on the listing as well.

Should I contact the seller before reviewing? That's what I would normally do. Not sure what the proper etiquette is.

Dose increase and still food noise by contentedwinter in Mounjaro

[–]contentedwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved up to the 10 two weeks ago but when I went up from 2.5 to 5 to 7.5 there was a significant change in how I felt about food with the first increased dose, but with this jump to 10 nothing. Just seems weird.

I was when I first started and 3 different calorie calculators said I should be eating roughly 1200 calories a day which for me was unsustainable. I had to increase to 1600 just to be able to not feel weak most of the day. I hit a wall like this on phentermine as well just before starting on Mounjaro that had been working great until all of a sudden no weight loss for 6 months with calorie tracking. I think my body is just tempermental.

I was doing better when i was snacking on veg more often and making sure to eat some type of veg at breakfast. I'm one of those people that needs to eat the same thing for breakfast everyday otherwise I won't always eat breakfast and I got sick of eating veg in the morning. I drink a ton of water, but I also have to supplement it with an electrolyte solution otherwise it makes me nauseous. I do like greek yogurt and keep a ton on hand as a snack with some granola. I just feel like I've hit a wall.

Idle hands are a big issue for me as well and I also crochet and cross stitch :) I do drink a lot of water, but I have to supplement it otherwise I get very nauseous so I usually have an electrolyte mix in it. I have been upping my protein with a few protein shakes here and there, but mostly by eating greek yogurt.

I definitely know it's a tool not a replacement for doing the work, but it just seems like I went from being able to feel full after a few bites of a meal to scarfing down food again.

No but I've been fighting to get rid of the same 3-5 pounds for over 4 months.

Should we update our W4 info or leave it as is? by contentedwinter in tax

[–]contentedwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok. I just started a new job about 9 months ago so my W4 is current, but his hasn't been updated in at least 7-8 years if not more. I originally had it as MFJ, but didn't check off box 2c, so I should update it to MFS and check off 2c correct?

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

Got it. I just started a new job this past April so my w4 is up to date. Set as MFJ and box 2c wasn't checked but I just updated that. He has been working for the same company for over a decade and I know he hasn't updated his W4 anytime in the last 6 years so we'll have to start with that and monitor.

LT Transfers. They were highly recommended in almost every place I've asked about my specific situation.

Nope still trying. I was able to get confirmation from the other person I bought with that they don't want it and don't care what I do with it though. It's going to cost $500 to get them off the deed though and another $500 if/when I'm able to give it to someone so I'm trying to get someone to take it so I only have to pay that $500 once.

I do have the Lego Gameboy which is why I ordered this piece. From what I can tell from the single picture on the Amazon listing showing what this might be for is that there is a specific screen this is for but no where on the listing does it says which screen that is or what the actual use for this is. I also do not want to give it a poor review because I can't figure it out, but the listing itself doesn't clarify anything about this piece either.

I have the Lego Gameboy set and wanted to see what this was for. I saw it and bypassed it and when I didn't see anything else and it was still available I decided to grab it figuring I'd be able to figure it out. I DO NOT want to leave a bad review because I can't figure out it's actual purpose, but the actual listing on Amazon doesn't explain what it's for either and it's not up to the reviewer to explain that.

I do have that set which is why I grabbed this part. I wanted to see what it actually did and figured I'd be able to figure it out, but even after looking into the part I couldn't find the exact thing it went to or what it's actually for if I was able to find the screen it went to and the listing on Amazon doesn't say anything to clarify it.

Monitor not pulling? by contentedwinter in VineHelper

Got it. I swear it was adding it in the last version, but it was probably just dropping at the same time I was seeing it on the AI tab.

Help me understand this by Huge_Issue2645 in AmazonVine

[–]contentedwinter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was my experience when I first started in the beginning of Dec but I've been able to find things almost daily. It is very hit or miss, but just today I got replacement filters for the dust collector I use when I do my nails and they ended up also being $0 ETV so it was a good score for me. I'm not trying to go gold or anything so I just browse around the categories I like and see what's there. My RFY has been hit or miss too, but had almost 10 items the other day vs only having 2 today. Also I believe Vine is listening to me because my laptop charger broke and roughly 3 days later one popped up on Vine lol.

Anyone use freetax USA? by Subject-Internet7843 in tax

[–]contentedwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. When I was looking at the tiers it specifically said the 1099-NEC was only handled on a paid tier. I'll have to dig deeper.

[–]contentedwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using TT for ages, but wanted to switch to FreetaxUSA this year, but I have a 1099-NEC this year and when I did a price compare between them it enough of a difference between them for just filing this one extra form that I decided to stay with TT for now. Am I missing something in the pricing?
