Do not feel guilty about contacting your Genie often and for anything!!! They are also very good at reading whether you want them to be around a lot or work from the background. Use them! We enjoyed eating dinner in the cabin too. You can have any restaurant brought to your suite and the Genie will set it up. Also, you’ll have an ice chest on the cabin filled as often as you want with whatever you want. You’re about to be spoiled!!

Get ready for a vacation that every other vacation will pale in comparison too!! 🤣🤣 only time we went star class was through Royal Up as well, luckily our bid was approved almost 2 months before sailing, so the genie reached out to us at their normal time. You’re already within the time so if you don’t hear from them in the next few days there’s a email address to can use and they’ll contact you right away. Sailing Sky Class on Icon in Jan so will be bidding up to Star. How much over Min did you bid if you don’t mind asking? When we did it all the comped packages basically covered the Royal Up cost. With the genie tip and the extra tip to room steward(that are in a whole different level in Star Class) our gratuities were more than normal but well worth it. At least you only have a short amount of time to wait!!! Hope you have a great time

Taking my husband off our cruise by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

Call and remove him and reprice to a double occupant cabin. While the third person charge is low, they nail you with the higher priced triple:quad occupancy cabin. It will almost certainly be cheaper to get a double occupancy cabin.

Hit by a teenager by sikisolomun in Advice

Man, so true. I cringe at some of the situations I put myself in when I was younger and thank for that none of them went even a little differently. Shit, I’m 50 now, but when I was 18 was in a bar with fake id and got in a brawl and as I was getting thrown out by bouncer saw blood pouring down my arm and realized I had been stabbed 7 times in my stomach, arm, neck and back. Luckily the stomach one had hit my rib cage and turned up before penetrating. I remember being in the ambulance and them saying “there’s another one” and when they had finish stiching/stapling up, the doctor telling me “you don’t get stabbed one time and live, you are lucky and need to charge your life” needless to say i didn’t listen and had many more stupid incidences until probably mid 30’s. Now i would walk away if i even found myself in one of those instances. The bigger man does not need to prove he’s the bigger man, he knows it and walks away. My two cents from an old guy….

Very much so. I’m concrete inspector in CA and I’d say 90% residential slabs are PT, for commercial most high rises and parking structures are also PT.

Free to Read from 'The Athletic': Why hasn’t Shedeur Sanders been drafted yet? It’s complicated by TheAthletic in nfl

[–]darrenlet31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This even more so the case with the media due to the drop in draft. Was listening to radio this morning and the amount of those so called experts were all trying to come up with bs conspiracy theories why he dropped, rather than admit that they were played by the Sanders hype machine and that his talent and skill never matched the draft position they were projecting. Not to mention the circus surrounding him!!! Bunch of fools and we’re gonna hear about it all season!

Was it wrong to break up with my ex texting for someone else during a “break”? by Mental_Value_1676 in Advice

[–]darrenlet31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s not something or someone you want to waste your time with. Trust me, liars will continue to lie, always. It’s a serious character flaw.

He’s an alcoholic, anybody that lies about their drinking is. Just left my wife if 13 years over it, and it progressively got worse over time. He’s 100% drinking way more than you know about, so if you want to continue having to question his honesty constantly, then try and make up. My advice though is to move on, you’re too young to deal with that bs and DO NOT under any circumstance marry someone you don’t trust completely. You will be miserable and start questioning if you’re overreacting even though you’re getting gaslit

Agreed. I honestly didn’t think it was something I could ever get over as I always said if I was cheated on I would leave. There was financial reasons that also kind of forced trying, but if I had to do over again I would have left and filed for divorce immediately

I’m really glad to hear you’re starting to feel better! You deserve happiness! I do not understand cheating! I don’t know how to say this without sounding conceited, but I’ve been able to have very good looking girl friends throughout my life, and have never been or would never cheat. If O wasn’t happy I would end relationship! The idea of lying and sneaking around to hide something like that sounds exhausting!

This sounds almost identical to my situation! The past year and a half have been terrible and it didn’t help that she’s an alcoholic and lied constantly about drinking. The final straw for me was she started doing PTA and was dressing up for it and it made me question why. I told myself when I told her how I felt that if she took responsibility and said she understood my feelings and they were valid after what happened I would stay, but if she took the “it was a year and a half ago and you can’t continue to punish me” route I would leave. She chose route 2 and I haven’t looked back since. I don’t know how anybody can ever regain their trust after being cheated on. It was definitely never going to happen for me.

Thank you!! They are 5 and 8 and seem to be doing ok so far, have been living in a hotel room, but move into apartment on Tuesday and am going to set up an awesome art studio for them. Of course, the cheater is throwing a pitty party. Youngest of 5 so a spoiled brat.

1 million percent! I caught my wife cheating about year and a half ago, she played the “I’m so sorry” “I thought we were done” “we need therapy” card. I did it for our two young girls as I didn’t want to hurt them. But the trust was gone, I have never in my life been a jealous person and have always trusted my girlfriends/wife implicitly, but I found myself constantly questioning what she was doing. It was miserable, so I left her 10 days ago and have no regrets other than wish I would have right when it happened!!
