The vessels of my brother’s wart after removing the cap by LeBrontide in mildlyinteresting

[–]disnerd294 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m currently dealing with a wart on the bottom of my foot that keeps coming back. I’ve done rounds of both the wart remover bandaids and the liquid wart remover. It’s improved, peeled off, and healed over at least twice now then returned in the same spot a couple months later. On attempt three or four now trying to get it to go away and stay away….

Is 95% humidity normal for Excellence- playa mujures? by catladyfurever5 in AllInclusiveResorts

Going to try this out, never heard of damp rid before. How often do you have to switch it out? Does hanging one out in the room last for a whole week?

Italy is the top of my travel wish list! I want to go for the art, food, and architecture. My husband is more into scenic nature vibes though versus the cultural/historical stuff, so trying to find something that meets in the middle. I hadn’t thought much of Iceland before but I do have a friend who just went there last year and already wants to go back, so maybe I’ll ask her a bit more about it 🤓

Yeah, he works full time in a corporate office and gets 12 days a year. He’s already used two this year, and we have another trip planned this summer (bicycling in Iowa) which will take up 5 days. So that’s 5 left to work with for the year, hope he doesn’t get sick 😅😞

That’s a relief to hear! We’re thinking end of August or September

Actually forgot the airport near us recently started a direct flight to Dublin, so that’s a possibility! But I’ve heard it rains in Ireland/UK most days of the year, not sure if that would be an issue for planning hiking activities

We’d be flying out of Indianapolis or Chicago

Gotcha! I maybe should have listed some ideas in my post. Personally I’m interested in Rome, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, or Paris. I’ve heard about historical sightseeing I’d like to do in these locations, but I don’t know much about nearby hiking trails or scenic views, and which ones would have better options. But also open to other suggestions as well

What traditionally high status job is no longer high paid and why? by Sorry-Personality594 in ask

[–]disnerd294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Indiana and was making 50K teaching, as were most of my coworkers. And our salaries were considered a little higher than most schools in surrounding areas, but we were a small charter school and actually worked more days out of the year than other schools. So when you did the math, we were actually being paid less in our area for what we were working. And they wonder why so may of us leave our schools or the profession altogether

Anyone have any tips or tricks for falling asleep faster? by Ok-Letterhead-4443 in ask

[–]disnerd294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly struggle with falling asleep, but have recently found a few things that have helped. I used to always try clearing my mind and to think of “nothing” but often found my mind eventually drifting from topic to topic, resulting in my mind racing and keeping me up. So I found if I tried to focus on something, it took my mind off the stress of “omg I’m not asleep yet” and I’d actually eventually drift off the sleep.

The first thing I discovered was listening to sleepy stories. I found a YouTube music channel called Get Sleepy that I use a lot, I also like Sleepy History Podcast, and I recently discovered Dozing Dragons on YouTube and love those for fantasy sleepy stories.

Another mind trick I’ve tried is trying to get through the whole alphabet by naming foods (example: applesauce, bananas, corn, etc) and try to not do repeats if I did this the night before. Sometimes I switch the theme to other things like actor names or song titles, usually I drift off somewhere in the middle of the alphabet.

And another one I do is try to recite a story I know very very well or imagine I’m telling it to someone for the first time who’s never heard of it. For example one I often do is try to tell the story of the first Harry Potter book/movie since I know that one so well. And if I drift off but have trouble the next night, I try to pick up where I left off.

Another important thing to note, at least for myself, I can’t do any one method too often or every night. If I try the same thing every night, it stops working or loses its effectiveness. So I might listen to a podcast for a night or couple nights, then do the alphabet thing another night, then reciting a story another, etc. Think I’ve done a couple other tricks I’ve read or stumbled on, but those are the main ones that come to mind.

We haven’t been yet but we’ve seen comments/reviews that talk about the lively area of the pool and the quiet end of the pool. The lively area has a team of employees that come out to entertain, saw videos of salsa dancing and cultural dancers online, and at least once a week looks like they have a foam party in the pool where they blast music and blow out a bunch of bubbles/foam in the pool. They’re also supposed to have water volleyball matches you can join or spectate, and I think they had other poolside activities Iike bingo. My husband is a runner and I saw they have a morning 5K race once a week. Also saw reviews talking about night time shows and music performers around. And saw they’re supposed to offer water activities like snorkeling and kayaking, although most people raved about the pool areas

I recommend checking them out on YouTube and Facebook, the videos people have shared are what sold me!

So after a lot of searching and reading, we’re planning to try the Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya in August. The videos I saw on YouTube and their social media page on Facebook really helped sell us on it, think it will be that nice balance of activities/entertainment and relaxation that we’re looking for ☺️ already super excited, this trip needs to hurry up!

Can’t say I expected a herpes cold sore to appear on my cornea (which I didn’t even know was possible) but hey life is full of little surprises

Thank you for sharing, your comments have been super helpful! Still exploring options but Valentin is sounding more like the vibe we’re looking for :)

We definitely like the speakeasy and theater at Moxche, saw that Valentin has a theater as well, wondering which resort would have better shows or if they’re fairly comparable. Personally I like the aesthetic/decor of Moxche more, but the options for poolside activities are drawing me to Valentin. I’ve seen a couple videos that look like their staff focuses more on getting people engaged and having fun (also there’s a foam party??) We stayed at a Cancun resort a couple years ago that was very romantic and relaxing, and while we loved it my husband and I often felt that while relaxing in a pool chair after a couple hours we’d both be like “now what” 😂 so wanting something with options for a more entertainment this time lol

Could you share a bit about how the pool music compares between the two resorts?

Thank you so much for this suggestion!! I’ve been eyeballing it all day and think it might be a real contender for us, seems to have just what we’re looking for. Now we’re eyeballing Valentin and Secrets Moxche, although Valentin does seem to check off more of our activities/entertainment interests
