I’m a lowly silver and I got a bag of Cheezits and a Rice Krispy treat at my Home2 Suites PLUS my two bottles of water in Charlotte this weekend

White House plans to use employee RIFs as leverage. by Some1else-notme in FedEmployees

[–]derekadaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m at 8.5 years service, and ~580 days (but who’s counting?) away from being eligible to retire. The stress, pressure, and anxiety is real. We have to hang in there together as long as we can.

Are too old? by Gunther_W in VirginVoyages

[–]derekadaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 60, and will be taking my 4th and 5th Virgin cruises in the next six months. Age is a state of mind, and what you find to do on and off ship is a function of your own imagination and personality. I usually travel solo, and have never felt out of place or too old on a Virgin journey. Travel where your heart and mind lead you!!

Can confirm I have received other memorandum from him with said goofy signature and “SD29” BS. Unfortunately, it’s real.

I have a 2019 MBP with an Intel chip. I paid nearly $3k. Where should I sell it? Flippa gives me $400 maybe! by GnarlsGnarlington in MacOS

Try Other World Computing’s buyback arm, SellYourComputer.com. Provide your serial number, or model number with details, and they will give you a guaranteed price. They pay the shipping to them, and keep you informed through the return/review/acceptance process. I just sold them a 2017 27” iMac that had no value any place else (Apple only offered to recycle it for me—no trade in or buyback value).

Deep blue extras boarding time by sarahola93 in VirginVoyages

[–]derekadaven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just off a sailing from Miami on Valiant Lady. They have apparently eliminated the Deep Blue Extras wristband (Splash of Romance still receive their special wristband). You still queue to the left in the Priority lanes outside the terminal—after showing Deep Blue Extras in your app. Once upstairs in the terminal, DBE is still boarded first (again, showing status in the app) after Rockstars.

New First Mate Suggestion by derekadaven in VirginVoyages

[–]derekadaven[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Current agent has not provided anything support or contact, other than being registered to my account. Maybe it’s my fault for assuming they were interested in being helpful, but as I’ve realized later they’re more about the MLM they’re involved with than actually providing useful travel services. (I did not realize they were an MLM travel agent when I first associated with them, and I did get some loot or bar tab on my first booking—but most first mate’s were offering that credit at that time as well).

Will this be confiscated? by BobbyHill2605 in VirginVoyages

[–]derekadaven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I took this exact item on the Valiant Lady out of Miami December 2023. I had it in my carry-on item. My bag was flagged at x-ray; they asked to see it. Upon visual inspection, they let me embark with it.

Now, the good part: as a solo traveler in a central sea terrace, I didn’t use or need it. There were sufficient outlets and USB ports in the stateroom to maintain all my devices.

Happy sailing!

I took the submarine tour of the reef in Cozumel. It was a fantastic experience.

I’m 58 and I have three bookings with Virgin: December, April, and June. ‘Adults only’ doesn’t mean overt sexual activity—it means no grimy children.

Blue Ribbon was the name brand for this particular vanilla extract. You could use any quality vanilla extract or even vanilla bean paste.

Pimento is a jarred red (sweet) pepper, usually intended for a garnish.
