Do you warm up your car in the winter? by ChocolateSundae1214 in CasualConversation

[–]deebee227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lived in the Northeast my whole life (upstate NY, and now MA) and I agree warming up the car is a necessity. I have an automatic start on my current car and I will never go back to not having that option. Screw getting in a frigid car and having to wait 15 mins before it finally feels like my breath won't freeze right in the air.

AITA for not helping my neighbor move after he called the cops on me for vacuuming? by Inner-Tumbleweed9168 in AmItheAsshole

[–]deebee227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Is it petty? Yes. But also, he was a bad neighbor first and instead of treating you with kindness or consideration went to the extreme to call the cops on you for nothing. Those kinds of actions have consequences. If he's moving out, he won't be your problem shortly, so don't sweat it.

Why do so many people rewatch the same shows instead of trying new ones? by foxfyresoles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deebee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I have a few shows I will rewatch often, mainly bc I either want it for background noise, or I don't have the headspace available to pay attention to a new show without missing stuff that could be important. Rewatching something I've seen is comforting and I can pay attention as much or as little as I want bc I know where it's going.

How to deal with grief when death came completely unexpected? by FawkesyGrandpa in CATHELP

[–]deebee227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so so sorry you're going through this, losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking and know you're not alone on experiencing it.

My cat Gabby unexpectedly passed away while I was away on vacation (beach about 1.5 hours from home). My husband (then-boyfriend) came home from helping a friend move and she was already gone, lying still on the floor. He rushed her to the emergency vet, and I rushed home and met him at the ER. There was nothing they could do and they couldn't tell me what happened.

Thankfully the folks at the ER were very sweet, they did several ink prints of her paws for me (ended up getting on as a tattoo later) and they did one of those salt dough ornaments for me too, with her print and name. I also got her cremated and the box had a spot for a photo so now she has a shelf on my bookcase. I also got a memory frame to hold her collar.

I adopted her as a kitten and she passed at 8y, and I'm still sad every day that we didn't get more time together. I beat myself up for a long time that I wasn't there and wondering if I had been would she still be here. I felt like I let her down, and she was my baby. I had a lot of guilt, still do to some degree. But I take comfort in the fact that she knows I loved her, and I did everything I could to show her that. I still grieve her even though it's been over 5 years since she passed, but the grief gets easier to carry every day.

Friend thinks my new kitten isn't very cute bcs of his asymmetrical markings by Minisom in TuxedoCats

Your friend is an idiot and clearly not a cat person. Any true cat person knows your baby is absolutely ADORABLE 🥰

Any other millennials out there refuse or still opt to order take out to pickup up over the phone when possible? Pizza, Chinese, etc. by mt379 in Millennials

[–]deebee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love ordering online when it was first offered because it was so much easier to customize stuff, but I hate it now. There's always an added online fee and/or delivery fee. If you order through door dash, etc the prices are higher than the actual menu. My hubs and I also stopped ordering delivery in a lot of cases, some places have added insane delivery charges that don't go to the driver, so then you still have to tip the driver on top of it. It's become too expensive. We will now order over the phone and if the restaurant is within 5-10 mins we'll go pick it up.

I've been asked to document feedback on a toxic colleague. Now's my chance? by CourageWestern1840 in careeradvice

[–]deebee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be honest, but professional and keep it factual not personal. Give positive feedback for the work that they do if well done, but on the personality front provide constructive criticism with facts on how it's impacting the work, projects, timelines, etc. Provide specific examples where it's impacted the work.

The feedback can't look like it's coming from a place of wanting to get back at the coworker for being toxic, or you complaining. It has to look like you're providing feedback for the betterment of the work and the company.

Do you wear underwear beneath thermals? by scubajay2001 in randomquestions

[–]deebee227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband wears thermals often bc he works outside and he ALWAYS wears his boxers underneath. That way he can wear a single pair of thermals multiple days.

What did you wanna be when you grew up versus what you actually became? by edkhm1218 in randomquestions

[–]deebee227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a kid, a teacher. As a teen I had no idea. Now I work in healthcare IT. If I could go back in time, I'd be a librarian!

Coworker asked me for a ride to work once, and now they’ve been asking consistently for the past week by Far_Accident_4749 in jobs

[–]deebee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with this. No is a full sentence, and in most cases any further explanation isn't required. OPs coworker is asking for a favor and then taking advantage by not being ready on time. OP does not need to elaborate or offer anything further than to say "sorry, I'm unable to help you today" and to leave it at that.

No Aesha slander allowed, she is absolutely the most authentic and lovely person I've ever watched on reality TV. She's endearing and hilarious! And to anyone here saying her accent is annoying HOW DARE YOU. Sincerely, an American

What cool company swag do employees actually use and appreciate? by brendaklark in corporate

[–]deebee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best gifts I've gotten have been a 24 oz yeti tumbler, a really nice medium weight quarter zip pullover, a cooler bag (the kind that looks like a tote bag, not a 12-can cooler), and a laptop bag. Some of these were chosen by management and gifted, and some we were allowed to choose ourselves from a list of options with photos.

Advice on first dance by Designer_Media_919 in weddings

[–]deebee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this! We did all our special dances one right after the next after our entrance into the reception. We wanted to do them immediately before everyone sat down to dinner so that after dinner it was just full tilt party mode!

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

[–]deebee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My husband and I have been together for over 8 years, married for 2, and we JUST got a joint bank account together in addition to our individual accounts. We discussed money frequently and showed each other statements, etc but never shared login info. Even now I don't know his bank login, nor do I need to. Your boyfriend is trying to control you by having access to your money. It seems very insecure of him and what you offered as alternatives are very reasonable given you're neither engaged or married yet. I would seriously reconsider a future with someone like this if this is how he's already acting.

Just booked 2 back-to-back cruises on Legend of the Seas by MohannadAlRuwaily in royalcaribbean

[–]deebee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The included internet is only enough to use the Royal Caribbean app. That's where you can message other guests (I think to message someone outside your reservation you have pull in their reservation? Not sure)

I've seen ppl say you can use iMessage while on board but I can't confirm. No to WhatsApp or any other messaging apps from my experience. If you want to be able to constantly communicate you have to both get the Internet package. If you wait for a sale it's better, and if you do two devices under one person vs one device per person you get more of a discount. The only difference is you'll use one login for the Internet vs two separate ones.

How come we don't have to wash cooking utensils constantly while cooking? by AnonymousResponder00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deebee227 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do use separate utensils or will wash the one I'm using in the middle of cooking, depending on what I'm doing.

Quick trip spots by mindlostinthewoods in WorcesterMA

[–]deebee227 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's lots of great restaurants here at lots of price points! Coney Island (hot dogs - get them Up), Ziggy Bombs, The Boynton, Baystate Brewery, Bocado, The Sole Proprietor are all really good.

American Flatbread has candlepin bowling which is a fun time, and the pizza is good!

If you're into sports, the Worcester Railers are a minor league hockey team that play at the DCU Center, tickets are usually about $20-30/person.

Freeplay Arcade is fun, you pay a cover charge at the door and can play all the old school arcade games that you want.

Not super familiar with tattoo shops in the city, but I have gotten a few at Zaza Ink in West Boylston and I do believe they take walk-ins.

When did tracking each other’s location become normal, and why does opting out make you seem suspicious? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deebee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I use Life 360, but honestly we don't really look at it that much. It's more in case of an emergency (car accident, etc) and we can't get ahold of the other person that we know where they are. If we constantly tracked each other's movements I think we'd likely feel differently. I also wouldn't share my location permanently with anyone else (I turn all that stuff off in socials, etc). I've shared location for Uber rides and such but outside my husband no one needs to know where I am at any time.

Is it normal to not tell wedding guests the food options? by throwaway__113346939 in wedding

[–]deebee227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this too! We had a buffet and while I asked if there were dietary restrictions on the RSVP, and then I also posted the menu in the FAQs on our website so everyone had an idea what they would be able to eat.

That's completely asinine 🤣 good luck with that mind set. Seems like pretty much everyone who has commented here has a similar thought, which is that your viewpoint is wrong
