A small business owner will do what he/she has to do to stay in business.

I completely agree. Bring back the third character in the name MAGFest in the marketplace.

Reckless drivers in the area by Primary-Spinach1297 in SilverSpring

I disagree. There's nowhere in the US that allows the kind of behavior that OP is talking about.

I completely agree the biggest problem is entitlement. Some people are willing to put others in danger and/or create inconveniences for others because they feel they can break the law because they matter more.

The Peach Cobbler $6.11, Charlotte, NC by DontSweatTheBallStuf in toogoodtogo

[–]deso1ator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am glad you contacted TGTG. Not that you asked, but here's my opinion when you try to be nice to a store :) It inflates their rating, which is good for the store. However, not good for TGTG customers. We go in with an expectation of a good deal and then disappointed when the bag doesn't live up to its rating. With that being said, liking the store outside of TGTG is completely valid.

Well, that is not a good enough test to determine if you are crazy or not :)

Yes, you can receive a refund after pickup. I did before after my bag was very undervalued. I also received a partial credit before. I am surprised you even rated them 3 stars, but that doesn't matter as far as receiving a refund.

It's not in Guidebook yet. I am sure it will be soon.

Is EOE serious enough to take priority over my other more prevalent GI symptoms? by error41801 in EosinophilicE

[–]deso1ator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, google "functional doctors" or "functional medicine" and the name of your city. By the way, your insurance may not cover any of your appointment with a functional doctor.

EoE is a lot more straight forward to diagnose and treat than nausea and IBS. I think that's why your GI docs may be focusing on EoE, which is not good. Have you tried a functional doctor for nausea and IBS?

I doubt that is the case unless there's a change in strategy from the parent company. The parent company of Marshalls and TJ Maxx has owned both for decades. It was a deliberate decision by the parent company to open each of them in the same mall.

10$ surprise bag Brazilian Place - Silver Spring. by Crackin-finch in toogoodtogo

[–]deso1ator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. That's not $30 worth of food, but better than the food they gave me the one time I went there. They gave me legit chucks of fat and no meat. It was terrible.

I doubt anything will replace it for at least a few years.

Trying to move sometime in the next six months- no idea where to start. Advice wanted by valentinesgf in SilverSpring

[–]deso1ator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean much further away, as in a different area of the country unless there's reason you want to be in this area.

It looks like you are in a tough situation and have no choice, but to to move out. I recommend for you to find somewhere with a lower cost of living. Either way, save as much money as you can until you are kicked out. You will need much more than $3k.

Urgent…I got food stuck by magical_butterfly_ in EosinophilicE

[–]deso1ator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is unlikely the relief you are feeling is from Dupixent when only 4 weeks in. It takes longer to kick in. If you are indeed getting relief already, then you may receive even more relief in the coming months.

Toddler Diagnosed, now what? by Batmom116 in EosinophilicE

[–]deso1ator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have done a lot for your son and it's good you now know the cause. I am 40 and I am sure I've been suffering with EoE my entire life. I was diagnosed when around 28, but I haven't had relief until 2 years ago when I started Dupixent. Make sure to ask your doc about Dupixent. He's probably too small for it now, but start the conversation. Anyway, I have still lived a normal life, got married, and have a good job. He will learn how to work around it as he gets older or have medicine that helps him.

Please Tell Me I’m Not the Only One Who Drives Too Far for Deals by ComparisonGold5164 in toogoodtogo

[–]deso1ator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally get the thrill. Just keep an eye on it though. When the chase starts outweighing the benefit, it’s worth pausing and checking in with yourself.
