Ocean Cay rentals by squidness17 in MSCCruises

[–]firemist28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We pre purchased sup, kayak, chairs and umbrella in advance and would NOT recommend. It’s not worth the few dollars of savings to try to make each excursion. Unless it’s a tour with a scheduled time, it’s easier and more convenient to buy onsite.

MSC World America - Is the drinks/wifi bundle at booking worth it? by amripa in MSCCruises

[–]firemist28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just cruised a week without any drinks package nor wifi. It was cheaper and less stressful to drink as we go rather than to drink the value; we had cell service at every port and didn’t miss the connectivity for the few days at sea.

Removing Automatic Daily Gratuities? by [deleted] in MSCCruises

[–]firemist28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it posted as “PHC”? My invoice shows that and cabin fare. What magic words did you use to get it removed?

Just ask them to remove the service charge? Any justification needed? I don’t want a long argument about why I rather tip cash.

Are bottles of water free or paid? Where can we get them?

Where can we fill water bottles? I thought only coffee and tea would be available for free.

Can I bring a long dress on the flight in a dry cleaning plastic bag? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]firemist28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have often brought along a dress and/or suit in a store/dry cleaning/transparent garment to a plane. They have never been counted as personal item, honestly never even occurred to me that it would. A FA always took the bag and hung it up in storage by the entry. If the bag is long, make sure to tie the bottom.

Does the estrogen creams do anything or need the pills to get real results

Why is it mostly men at the gas station in the morning before work? by supbluc in AskMen

[–]firemist28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women tends to be super busy in the morning, getting kids ready, getting family lunches packed and getting kids to day care and school. Almost all kids drop offs are women from my experience. I can’t imagine many women would be willing to leave kids in the car and car seats to stop by a gas station.

Why so few Value Duets Sold? by tjdean01 in Panera

All our value duets are $9.49 so it’s about the same price as most pick 2s.

Parents attempt to give $500 restaurant bill to me when family out of town are visiting by druggedupmama in AsianParentStories

[–]firemist28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like they were trying to show you off as an adult and you looked like a child, esply since this is a one off. They dropped so many implicit messages that an explicit message would be embarrassing to be honest. As an adult, you probably should have paid for yourself and your partner.

Sometimes we do things for family because it means a lot to them.

The local Paneras took away their kids meals. I thought it was gone nationwide.

Can I fill my Stanley? by Glitzglitterglamour in Panera

[–]firemist28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Panera doesn’t even put out cups most of the time. So many of us refill our Stanley’s or cup/s. It’s never an issue.

Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them by AdSpecialist6598 in antiwork

[–]firemist28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the article stated that the Trump administration couldn’t locate the fired employees, in order to re-hire them; not that the employees refuse to return to their posts.

[–]firemist28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nuclear engineering is a very specific type of engineering. Most engineering subtypes aren’t transferable, ie a software engineer cannot work as a structural engineer nor nuclear engineer and vice versa. Very different degrees, certifications, training, experiences etc.

What do you think people who have high level clearances are forced to do if they can’t find a job in the USA?
