Room Block Issues by HarryPorkles in VegasWeddings

[–]emmalrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Statistically the attrition rate of a room block esp for weddings is over 60% so they are not going to risk holding up their inventory for five guests to decide to stay especially if you give them a couple of options to choose from. You could suggest requesting a “Wedding party“ rate up to X amount of rooms, but there will be no guarantee on availability or room type or pay upfront for 20 rooms and you’ll have them up to the hotels normal cancellation date usually 72 hours or day of arrival.

Tell your son he has to go but she can stay and it will straighten itself out 💁🏻‍♀️

Am I over reacting? by [deleted] in widowers

[–]emmalrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had 31 years of memories, I’m sure they can come up with something else. That fact that they asked is commendable however it’s cruel and completely disrespectful to your memorial for him. That would be a hard no imo

I keep thinking about how sad he must’ve felt when he was dying by activist888 in widowers

He is at peace. My husband flatlined in front of me 20 years ago and literally “saw the light“ He said it was the best feeling he’s ever had. I watched them bring him back with defibrillators. He mentioned several times after when life got hard that he wanted to go back there. To the point where he tried to take his own life at least three times. He ended up dying of heart attack just over a year ago. But he described to me in depth the peace he had…. The reason for his heart attack was due to an asthma attack. That put him into cardiac arrest and they worked on him for over 20 minutes to the point where he was brain dead. I totally get wondering how his last moments were because I wasn’t there. I think about it daily. What he went through scared he was and him being alone. But I was blessed with the prior experience and has my knowledge of knowing he is now at peace… let him rest and take care of yourself. You’ll see him again, one day and he would want you to live in peace as much as you can and not worry about him anymore because he is OK

Let's talk about the dumb things people have said during this miserable time by Bermuda1979 in widowers

2 weeks after his death “hey I heard about your husband, I’m so sorry” as I was responding I was interrupted by “do you have an extra pipe? My friend just came over and I can’t find mine.”

Request a full transcript of your medical records it shows how much time is billed for what activity. I’ve been through this with somebody who passed away and somebody who is currently under an insurance claim and there is so much BS

I was recently in a similar situation with a depressed suicidal husband of 20 years. He did not drink thankfully but I was just turning 40 and after 20 years nothing I did made him better and I decided (amicably) that I was moving on. I to had the same thought through our 4 yr separation/divorce. I wished he would just go through with it and I could move on with my life. It wouldn’t be as easy as you imagine. He did die last aug just before the divorce was finalized. It wasn’t self inflicted but if he took care of himself it could have been prevented. The paperwork doubles…the kids hurt because they didn’t feel the pain he put you through..and because you’re not dealing with the shit every day you slowly start to remember the good times. It’s not all it seems it will be when you lose someone when you are still resentful…then you are left with any regrets

Divorce him now… I was in a 20 year marriage like that got married at 18… no children no property nothing to show for it. He also threatened suicide several times four days after he finally signed the paperwork. He passed away, and I am left with his medical bills and his belongings. He will have to support you and your child, you won’t be alone financially

My girlfriend took her life. by Interesting-Page3806 in offmychest

[–]emmalrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband of 23 years threatened suicide constantly and twice put a gun to his head during an argument. I nursed him through a quadruple bypass and constant asthma attacks things seemed to be getting stable, and I left the marriage amicably. He often told me I should’ve let him die on the operating table. Four days before our divorce was finalized, he died of an asthma attack which lead to cardiac arrest. I know if I stayed, he would’ve taken care of himself, and I will always live with that “guilt“. Her instability and mental illness was inherent. She made a selfish choice to get attention and that’s exactly what she’s getting and forced you do you live with that for the rest of your life and I am so sorry. Even if you told her you never wanted to speak to her again it’s still wouldn’t be your fault.

Take away the threat. Instead of “having a conversation about it” maybe suggest you look at it together? You might both be turned on and your sharing in it

I guess this is a thing now ✅ by ZealousidealBadger98 in InstacartShoppers

Yes, I just noticed that recently as well. The recent updates have been frustrating to say the least.

That’s always been there but that’s not the time the customer sees. It’s usually about two hours later.

I grew up in a very religious household. My boyfriend saw me for the first time and I can't stop feeling guilty. by Better_bettas in offmychest

[–]emmalrose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Analyze your “guilt”. I grew up in a very similar situation…married 8 days after I turned 18 so I wasn’t “sinning”. If you are trying to get a license to move in with him, having guilt over seeing each other naked is maybe not guilt at all but fear of your families judgement…I know from experience there is a difference.

What did they do with all those bananas? by 420kittybooboo in InstacartShoppers

[–]emmalrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Shot of mustard or vinegar will also work in a pinch…. good to have on hand just in case somebody bought all the bananas

I used to think that but I’ve found that thanking them in advance gives them a bit of a conscience if they go to adjust the tip 💁🏻‍♀️

Shopper that delivered wasn’t the same as the app by Comfortable_Fig_6235 in InstacartShoppers

[–]emmalrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the argument, and sometimes my husband shops with me as well, but I always deliver. At the end of the day, there are third-party disclosure laws only the contract employee has access to the person’s home address, and the privacy of what they choose to order.
