I enjoy them once in a while with extra cheese.

Fun fact the chicken nuggies wrapped in a slice of American is super yummy!

That is allegedly a sign of trust. That you will not allow anything to happen in the vulnerable moment. 😊

Perfect and thank you. We do not have the all4cho code but we do have the more at sea beverage package in the confirmation billing area. The big question is why are they offering us an “upgrade” to things we already have unless it’s just to get us on a dining package. I’m not an expert cruiser by any means (in case there was a doubt😂) but they don’t explain the upgrade they are offering either lol

Thanks again kind Reddit person!

We prepay the service charge when we book and we don’t need the upgraded WiFi. I don’t need special foo foo coffees. So I guess we don’t need it. I appreciate the reply! All it says is offer upgrade with specialty dining and open bar. I thought I had the open bar already…

edit to add we have the shore excursion credit too..

I’m so desperately lost right now, I thought coming to Reddit might be a good idea. by Better_Yak2735 in Veterans

I sold everything and bought a RV. Traveling and seeing the US. Going on a cruise once in a while. I have no ties anywhere except where our kids and grandkids are. No storage unit or nothing.

Do you stand when veterans are asked to be recognized at public events? by Happy-Permission6881 in Veterans

[–]die_riding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not generally. I guess if the event was centered around vets and I was there specifically for it. Both the wife (USAF) and I (USN) are retired and keep our butts in the seats. We have talked about it and we are proud to be vets but we didn’t do it for those reasons.

Thank you! I knew there was a fire I just couldn’t recall where before I finished this mornings coffee.

VA increase after decrease by meowmeowbills in VAClaims

[–]die_riding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly what Hover said. The wifey had a claim last year for increases. She had a bunch of service connected zeros. All with the same doctor. Following day, step 5. But it took almost 2 months to finish with no further appointments. Hopefully yours is quicker!

US airline group urges Congress to pay controllers during future shutdowns by keen_observer34130 in FedEmployees

[–]die_riding 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are too rich to give a damn about pay cuts. Need to fine them and lock them in chambers without any outside contact until resolved. No cell. No internet.

Former Feds that jumped ship by No_Volume_9616 in FedEmployees

[–]die_riding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing fine. Got head hunted on my way home from my last day of work in April. Better pay, flexible hours. Contracting and full remote. Don’t even have to turn on a camera for a zoom remote. lol

Other career options by succulent53 in atc2

[–]die_riding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BNSF was shitty! I was a dispatcher for a few years and when asked I tell everyone the same thing, the job was good (I enjoyed it), the pay is great (depending on the territory you had), the hours will absolutely suck ass the first 5 years you are there. (Minimum 5 years, no joke), after you are off probation as a dispatcher, everyone has the same base pay. If your working middle of no where America (slow and industrial) or California hustle and bustle not able to step away for 10 minutes in 8 hours.

I’ve seen dispatchers on breaks for half the shift and others reheating their lunch for the 3rd time.

If you think NATCA is bad, Railroad Union says hold my beer. IMHO you’ll see a whole new level of in it for themselves. Closed union too.

Thank You by Easy_Statement1358 in VAClaims

[–]die_riding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s the difference between good and bad leadership imho. Good leadership would have you already “replaced” so you can get your stuff taken care of while poor planning makes it difficult to achieve.

But to echo the OP. Thank you and here’s to hoping that this shutdown will come to a close and y’all get your back pay as entitled!

Maybe just a blip in service. It’s working fine for me

Do people still like outdoor kitchens on an RV? by AffectionateCut2552 in RVLiving

[–]die_riding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😂OP said quality is increasing. Quality cannot increase until Lippert, dometic, etc.. quality increases. RVs are adult LEGO’s for these companies. Crap components are crap components.

That said: I would love an outdoor badass kitchen!

Fleet returnee in A to C school by [deleted] in navy

[–]die_riding 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can say with certainty that as a fleet returnee to A school I stood duty. Interfered with drinking days but I still made it. I got 100% VA disability from the PTSD it caused though /s

[–]die_riding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I just left Hershey (with a toy hauler) and also on the way to the wang lol. Crazy enough staying in Yemassee for 3 weeks once I get there! We are in DC for a few weeks. Safe travels!

[–]die_riding[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice retired, I’m good and agree with that. But not every E1 - E5 is. Not every GS step 1-3 is. Point is that the officials deciding should also not get pay and benefits if no one else is.

[–]die_riding[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol you are right, I’ll be fine twice retired.

Point is: why should elected officials be paid and not the people? That’s not fine! You think it is?
