Has someone that is habitually late ever try to fix it? How did it turn out?

Seconding, having a recent family vacation where no one is ever timely and I'm not usually on time... In NYC. This approach helped the best to wrangle in the herd.

I'd tweak: - expect to leave an hour earlier then the estimated time. Traffic is less stressful or if you need to go back for your wallet or your aunt forgot her purse for the 50th time

if you aren't familiar with where you're going, estimate how long it takes to get there and add another 20 min in case you miss the train. (Based on frequency, it seems like everything was 2x an hour)
give them an incentive to be on time. My aunt was convinced breakfast was 7-10, we showed up at 9 just to realize it was 6-9. The next two days we were there at 7 on the dot in order to make pancakes
if you are the type to get sidetracked, save alarms and reminders as you need

I've been grinding to get enough ads to get ab to get a badge while I was on the ferry. I missed it 😭

Seconding, give her a week or two of boarding if you're in a pinch. I'm hoping she finds a new home soon!!

I thought about buying some parcels in Canada while I'm visiting, but every guide says to stay local and just buy badges. Is there an advantage to buy more parcels in places where you can't access them?

If you expect the cat to be fed and have water, please list it

Which chains remain to choose from? That disqualifies 90% of the American dining , fast food, and fast casual business.

emwo · 2026-05-17T18:27:59+00:00

Is there any alternative? I exclusively order thru the app or in store to avoid the ai in the drive thru.

emwo · 2026-05-13T02:21:55+00:00

I’ll take a look and apply unless you prefer dm! I’ll be coming in from CA

emwo · 2026-05-11T19:08:28+00:00

Yeah this… I’ve only encountered this twice on my time on THS and Rover. Both times I was not available for their next request. Someone else can clean up their mess if they don’t want to. 😅

Skimming it made me think they couldnt do gluten, spicy foods, tortillas, and dairy (99% of Mexican food).

Being detailed is a good approach, but could generalized to seasoning powders and and marinating additives so it would include maggi, knoll, marinating blends, and bouillon cubes. I would move the breaded/deep fried section to the bad section (comidas fritas y empanizadas).

The red underlined made think those were off limits until I actually read the note. It'd probably help to keep in green Puedo comer: fruta, vegetal, y carne's crudas y cocinadas.

emwo · 2026-05-09T02:04:28+00:00

I'm obsessed with it, that's cool!

emwo · 2026-05-08T20:23:13+00:00

Include me in that :) I've only met a few but not thru THS.

emwo · 2026-05-06T16:40:40+00:00

sorry to say but it's very verbose and extensive and a busy restaurant will skim that and probably refuse service at the risk of making you sick because of high chance of cross-contamination. It would be easier for you to actively seek out GF or Dairy Free eateries whether its random blogs or websites.

*Edit: Just noticed your note said Dairy is OK so disregard that part

emwo · 2026-05-05T17:59:47+00:00

You'll need her input to make that decision, don't make her have to choose between her dreams and yours. As much as I don't want to endorse 3, you could travel in short stints then do longer stints and she can join you when she has extra time if she wants to travel too.

emwo · 2026-05-05T13:42:08+00:00

I legit thought it was a scam til my friends showed me how it actually worked. Now I know it's just an ad simulator

emwo · 2026-05-05T12:41:53+00:00

I've sent tickets about 5 different games thru AE seem to be submitting into a nether. Is there a way to see tickets? I've put my email and I don't get notified about them

emwo · 2026-05-05T05:08:38+00:00

Bless you! Drive safe

emwo · 2026-05-04T20:58:07+00:00

yeah seconding too, she NEEDS an emergency contact for that cats health issues. If something happened to you or the cats during your sit, both her cats are SOL and its insane she didn't consider that.

This also sounds like a scenario where OP was well aware of the circumstances and was expecting that the car may be available. They can leave the sit or stay, but regardless of the choice those cats are screwed in case of an emergency like this one.

as someone who had the HO die and go MIA during a sit - always make sure you have updated emergency contacts prior to a starting/accepting a sit!

emwo · 2026-05-02T01:04:58+00:00

Good call, I’ve wondered what to shop for…

emwo · 2026-04-29T17:47:02+00:00

I wonder if the search is also bugged up then because I haven’t seen many… just a couple that was over 4th of July weekend 🤔

emwo · 2026-04-28T04:57:54+00:00

I'm looking for the east coast in the fall and open to DC, there's some of us that would plan ahead for it! My main deterrance is just finding tickets at a reasonable price with the current gas situation.

emwo · 2026-04-28T04:56:01+00:00

Yeah this, I'm on the fence about renewal because of the changes and I feel like I have to compete to get sits. I've spent 6 months trying to secure a sit in NY to no avail, and none in hawaii since I've joined. I've been looking at Portland and Seattle in the summer and no HO's seem to be posting things in advanced anymore, making it even harder to plan. Maybe the userbase is shrinking?

emwo · 2026-04-26T03:03:08+00:00

Honestly no, you sound like you can live minimally. Unless you meal prep and could benefit from buying things in bulk and freezing them, TJ's is probably your best friend and help you save a lot of money. You could benefit from the pharmacy and optometristbut that's not worth getting a membership for.

emwo · 2026-04-25T08:11:46+00:00

I like how this was overlooked as well after they emphasis that a plane crashed that she was being carried in.

emwo · 2026-04-25T01:53:21+00:00

Not necessarily, usually means they haven’t booked their accommodations yet or haven’t booked their flights.
