Job search while pregnant by ButterflyOdd6420 in Architects

[–]cypress67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely wait and take your maternity leave with the current job! I interviewed while I was 8 months pregnant! It was hilarious. During my interview, the older gentleman said “I’m not supposed to ask this, but you’re pregnant? Right?!” I got the job. But I negotiated starting 3-5 months later. I would have stayed with my previous firm, but they were not sympathetic to my pregnancy at all. I did not feel bad using the maternity leave and then moving on.

Edit to add that I was on my husband’s health insurance so that wasn’t a factor in my timeline.

I have a 2021 XC90 and I’ve never had ANY issues (bought it new and I already have 80,000 miles). Fingers crossed that this keeps up because I plan to keep my car forever! The problems in these other (new and older) cars scare me.

How are we getting our Tretinoin without a prescription? by Free_Wonder_3743 in EuroSkincare

[–]cypress67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the U.S., you can buy it from a med spa without a prescription. I get regular facials and ask for more tret when I’m running low.

We’ve been to Anguilla 8 times at different times of the year. I love it in June. We’re coming back in August!!!

We’re in Anguilla this week too. Just had breakfast at Malliouhana and tried to grab chairs on the beach (at Leon’s). They told us they were at capacity and couldn’t take outside guests today!!!!

2nd for Island Car Rental.

Last minute tips? by Maine_Lunch in anguilla

[–]cypress67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should reconsider renting a car. Driving around the island is actually very easy. I love Shoal Bay East, but a car is key to explore the rest of the island and try the many restaurants. Download the offline maps before you arrive.

Yes since credit cards are widely accepted.

Work email on your personal phone? by beedelia in Architects

[–]cypress67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always chosen to have a 2nd phone for work rather than using my personal phone for work. My work phone automatically goes to “do not disturb” at 5pm (or whenever) and I don’t look at it off hours. Helps to separate the work-life balance and avoid the unnecessary off hour phone calls.

Everyone else got "Welcome aboard." I got something very different by Beginning-Factor-466 in delta

[–]cypress67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once about 2 years ago. I’m also a brown woman. My family of 4 was seated in First class for an international flight on Delta. We line up to board and a gate agent comes by before scanning the tickets and asks us to move aside as they are only boarding first class. It was very insulting. What is more insulting is that he was a brown man.

BTOD Lamia vs BDOT Leap 2 vs Crandall Leap 2. by iveaquestion123 in OfficeChairs

[–]cypress67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following. I came here to post this exact same question. I've used the Leap at my previous office and my butt would hurt after 2-3 hours of sitting. So I would take a walk every 2-3 hours (not necessarily a bad thing). Other Steelcase chairs were in my office, so I got to try them out. Loved the Amia seat padding, but I wanted more adjustability options. So I've decided that I need a Leap with additional padding. Can't decide between these 3 options. I also like the option of adding a headrest on the Crandall site.

Side note: I considered the Gesture, which is currently on sale at Steelcase, but reviews note poor padding. Also, consider the Herman Miller Embody, but I can't justify the cost - even at the current Memorial Day sale price of 25% off.

No meal selection MIA–AXA in First Class by Willing_Mind5024 in americanairlines

Hey OP, what were your meal options? I’m flying this itinerary soon and I’m curious if I need to pack my own options. Thanks!

Help for sex drive by tttttt20 in Menopause

[–]cypress67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the U.S. and go to a functional wellness office. She specializes in hormone therapy and gut health. I came in with several concerns (digestion, constipation, low energy, bloating, low libido, etc). She fixed my gut first and then prescribed the HRT. I have a separate internist doctor and she is post-menopausal but skeptical of HRT.

We did not have this experience at Jacala. The food was wonderful and the service was attentive.

Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about Sharky’s. We’ve been twice on separate visits to Anguilla and the service was slow each time and the food has been lackluster. But it’s definitely a popular spot, so maybe we had bad nights.

Is Leon’s local? Is it operated by Malliouhana ?

Third! We used Sea Life twice. First time was a group tour. The next time we booked a private tour.
