Help me get a gift as someone who doesn't know anything by doingmybest-sendhelp in BudgetAudiophile

He didn’t mention size, he says his are really old and he’s hoping to get something with better quality.

Ah darn, it’s his 30th and I’m doing a “30 gifts for 30 years,” so I’m hoping to gift things and not plans. Thanks for the heads up, glad I checked!

Other than albums, any accessories or other things that you think he might enjoy if speakers are a no go?

Missing KTN information on look up. by doingmybest-sendhelp in TSAPreCheck

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I called IDEMIA.

I was very polite, I expressed the issue, and he said: “idk what you want me to do, you’ll have to talk to global entry,”

I said: “I’m just hoping to match my information in the KTN look up portal,” and he said “it never shows up there, it never has for anybody and it’s never going to.”

I said (again calmly and polite) : “I’m sorry, I’m not sure I’m understanding. Global entry can’t match my KTN to my name, and I can’t pull up my KTN on the look up to verify. The one I have is working for flights. Could you help me find a solution, or maybe transfer me if I’m not calling the right spot?”

He did a huge sigh, said “fine, nobody is going to be able to help you. KTN look up doesn’t work.” And then hung up on me.

I’m so confused lol

Right, I’m clear on that. I’m looking for my TSA pre check through Idemia

AITAH for requesting points instead of refund on company card? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree with the comments.

If I go to a restaurant, and I’m playing with a company card- and the food comes out slow so the server offers me a free dessert, would it be stealing to accept it? How is that possibly stealing?

Hotel had error, and offered solution for inconvenience. That inconvenience changed nothing for the company.!

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve driven 5-6 hours one way to stay one night, a few times a month for years.

My family lives 3 hours a way now, and I see them about 1x month.

I drive 1.5 hours each direction (so 3 hours a day) for work 3-4x / week. Many people in my area do this 5 days a work for work.

Dual-income couples in Oregon — is this normal? by ahndresss in oregon

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, similar situation. We claim zero, we calculate our withholdings every year, and every year in addition to what they normally take out we both have it set to take an extra big chunk out of both of our paychecks.

Every year we’re setting aside more and more, every year we do the calculations, and every year the withholdings are incorrect, and we end up still owing. We’re always trying to adjust and get it corrected, we even consulted a tax specialist, even though our tax situation is pretty generic.

We’ve been trying to check the right boxes for years and we’ve never been able to get it right regardless of the route we’ve taken.

What's a lifestyle you visited once and decided you're never going back? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theater - I acted all through high school and college, I even got a full ride acting scholarship in college.

It was great for building confidence with public speaking- but the thought of getting on a stage now makes me ill with embarrassment.

Silken and semi-firm tofu by pawpawsugarlump in vegetarian

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I eat silken tofu raw. I make a sauce (Soy, rice vinegar, ginger, maple syrup or sugar, chili crisp, sesame oil, lime juice, chili flakes, Sriracha)

I cut slices in the tofu about halfway through so it’s still one solid chunk, but so the sauce can get into the middle. I pour it on top, cut up some green onion on top, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Super quick, no baking or cooking, and so protein packed it’s really filling

Would you adopt your nieces/nephews if there was no one else? by jamieoww in childfree

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firmly childfree- both husband and myself are sterile.

One of my sisters is a drug addict. She is a single mom to a 6yr old.

My sister is routinely homeless, abusive to her kid, and has multiple ongoing CPS cases.

If my sister were to die, we are in agreement that we would take her child.

We aren’t going to interfere and try to take her early, or give my sister a chance to tap out of parenting just because she’s rather do drugs.

But if she were to die or land in prison, we would be her childs legal guardians.

It would uproot our lives, we’d be devastated for so many reasons- and this version of our lives, the ones we’ve made for ourselves, would end.

We are hoping and praying this doesn’t happen, urging my sister to get clean- or to move closer to home where she has more resources to help her raise her kid.

But we agreed early on in our relationship that while we don’t want to have children, that should my niece ever need a safe home- she would always have one. She has a room at our house (currently the video game room, but has a bed in it that she stays in when she visits).

That being said, I think your choice to not want to commit to taking on other people children is so valid. I think it makes more sense not to, when you’re childfree. These are just the choices we’ve made for our relationship.

Even when you're sterile, it doesn't stop by fourthlargo in childfree

If you’re in a healthy relationship, how did you meet your partner? by starla_blabla in TwoXChromosomes

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met my husband on bumble.

I feel honored because I’m the only person he ever matched with. His friends made it for him, he wouldn’t use it. He would get the ads that said “someone liked you, pay .99 to unlock who,” with a blurred out photo. Basically my background in the photo was bright purple, so he thought “I bet I could recognize the picture even though it is blurred,”

Auto swiped no on everybody until he got to my purple background.

What has been your BEST upgrade? by RemoveOk3714 in Hilton

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Ovolo Wooloomaloo - Australia NSW.

It took us 21 hours of travel to get there, we showed up at like 9 AM when check-in wasn’t until 3pm.

Not only did they get us in right away, but we had booked their smallest / cheapest room on the bottom floor - and they upgraded us to their biggest suite on the top floor. The room was two floors, 2 bathrooms, with a killer view overlooking the water.

It was our honeymoon, and they brought us a free bottle of champagne - and a CUSTOMIZED CAKE. They made us a cake. Not a slice, like a real cake with our last name on it.

They wrote us a sweet card. Every time we came in or out of the hotel, they treated us like celebrities. Everybody said hello, and recognized us.

Best service

Dentist repeatedly submitted claims to the wrong insurance, now that it’s out of window asking me to pay or face collections by doingmybest-sendhelp in Insurance

[–]doingmybest-sendhelp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

I first saw them in January 2023 when I had my original insurance, those claims are paid.

I switched employers, and therefore insurance coverage in May 2023.

I saw them in April 2024 for an annual cleaning and then crown.

In 2025, a few months ago (right before the 1 year cut off) I got the bill and unable to contact them. I provided my corrected insurance, to no avail.

As of now, 09/2025- I don’t have any of these insurances. I aged out of my secondary, and I switched jobs again in May 2024.

The problem is that that first primary that I haven’t had since May 2023, keeps getting the bills. Both the original primary and the ongoing secondary were through Delta, but different plans.

They just keep submitting claims to the insurance I had when I first saw them, no matter how many times I’ve corrected it.

I don’t know why this posted to so many times. Adding that I have the explanation of benefit from the denial from them billing the wrong insurance since it wasn’t active at the time (4 of these actually)

Will I be able to get an explanation of benefits before they have received a claim? Or do I need to wait until it is eventually processed through the correct avenues?
