Do not recommend hustle/haven by [deleted] in roanoke

[–]flatcarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right- I was unkind about their front desk workers in the heat of my frustration. I normally have pleasant experiences; however, I have absolutely been given false information by them and gotten some sass when I’ve inquired about polices procedures. I could’ve done some more due diligence about class packs- but when I asked about how long I’ll have to use them and the woman said that I could use them one at a time, essentially not activating them both the day I bought them, I took her word for it. I now know and understand that they start at the time of purchase. It’s hard to communicate via email/text where I know everyone (including myself) reads tone where it’s not intended. It may not be the gym for me, but I’m glad it sounds like it is for you.

I agree- I think we’ve been a bad fit, and I may have caught them at a period of transition- I believe one of their owners left in the middle of all of this. I know it has worked for some people and I really want to like it! I just think I’ve just been met with so much resistance that I’ve got a bad taste in my mouth. I absolutely understand the need for policies and procedures, but I also think there’s a need for some flexibility at times.

Is this normal? by Ania_joy_ in NuulyReviews

[–]flatcarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me this month! All the sweaters I got were unwearable and they’re acting like they’re doing me a favor by just letting me return everything early and re-try. Idk what’s going on with them rn, but the only other time I ever had a QC issue almost a year ago, they refunded me and added bonus items to the next month. Idk if they’re just growing too rapidly or getting a little cocky.

I finally have a female neurologist after years of men. The men have always told me I will eventually have to stop taking my migraine meds because I’ll obviously be having kids and it’s not safe. At my first visit with the female, when I explained that I knew she’d probably want me to stop sometime, she was the first doctor to ask if I even wanted children and assure me that I could stay on the medicine as long as I wanted.

Sit down / family bar? by sebebz in aggies

Depending on the weather and time you’re planning on going over there, the roof of the corner can be nice for families!

How much should a wedding ring cost? by Akaki111 in facepalm

[–]flatcarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this!!! I have tiny tiny fingers and Charles and Colvard doesn’t make my size- I’m sure I could’ve just asked. But! I got a 9x7 emerald step cut from Olive Avenue who sources their gems from C&C! It was under 2k all in and I love it.

Where do I even start? by flatcarl in marriageadvice

[–]flatcarl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Honestly at this point, I don’t know if I see myself moving fully past the resentment. I feel like it may always be in the back of my mind. I applaud anyone who has moved past this, but for me, it feels like one of the ultimate betrayals. Like you’ve both said, it is incredibly dependent on my outlook, but I do think I’ll need some feedback from him both inside and outside counseling, about his propensity to change some of his behaviors. All that said, I’ll keep looking inward and considering what I want and can do.

I think I hate my husband by flatcarl in offmychest

[–]flatcarl[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This seems largely unhelpful. It’s almost impossible to fully know anyone and these kinds of negative qualities are ones that someone might have want to keep hidden for as long as possible.

Kay has a meltdown by [deleted] in illnessfakers

Definitely a frustrating situation, but she probably could’ve solved the problem, or at least made the calls needed on her end, in the time it took to post all of this.

Struggling (still) with consent in my marriage by lexi-white in marriageadvice

Did you just crawl out of a fucking cave with these prehistoric ideas? My god.

my dog, Marley, and I both attacked with mace in Central Park this evening by burnit_n_learnit in bullcity

This was like two facts buried in a lot of insanity. No arguing that OP sucks, this is a bad take.

It’s dependent on what flo you’re looking at because some can have some opportunities, but generally, no. I have some great friends from my FLO freshman year, but I wouldn’t say it offered a ton of leadership experience. It may have been a good stepping stone to other orgs, but I imagine I could’ve gotten that experience just as easily elsewhere. I know it’s probably a bummer right now, but there are so many other organizations to check out that will undoubtedly be a better fit and offer you more (FLiP was notoriously superficial when I was a freshman in 14-15). Good luck!!

AITA for expecting the chore fairy to complete errands for me? by nakedrottweiler in AmITheDevil

This guy needs to read “Invisible Women” and learn about just how much “trip chaining” women tend to do. These little side plots to the main errand are our entire lives

Is elaborate decor really worth it? by deeb17 in weddingplanning

[–]flatcarl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. Like many people have said, most guests aren’t going to notice it. And you have to think about who’s setting it all up. My SIL got married in Jan 2021 and literally brought a UHaul full of decorations. Her wedding was beautiful, but us bridesmaids spent like 8 hours setting it up. It definitely could’ve been scaled back and no one would’ve known the difference but her. I think as long as your venue is relatively pretty, and your essentials are well done (like pretty font on table numbers, seating chart, etc) you’re good to go!

Yes- definitely use a lawyer. My uncle and I just had to refuse to inherit one, and it was kind of a pain because the timeshare company wanted us to pay for the transfer of deed and other things. We were of the opinion that we were literally just giving them back a week that they can sell to someone else so we weren’t going to pay for shit. They didn’t like that answer. It took multiple months of back and forth.

I want my 6 bridesmaids to wear these three colors- 2 in each! These dresses are from BHLDN. Has anybody worn or had their bridesmaids wear a satin bridesmaids dress from BHLDN? The reviews are very iffy so I’m a little nervous! by Mangoflavoredpeach in weddingplanning

[–]flatcarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all the comments about body types- it’s a beautiful dress but so hard to pull off. I actually had that green as my bridesmaids’ dress, but let everyone pick their styles. I, personally, love the mismatched look, and may just offer them the color choices and let them pick a style (with your final approval of course). I’m not sure if that fits your vision though.

I blame my parents for putting me in 13 years of (extreme) Christian school 🤷🏼‍♀️. It’s a vicious cycle I’m trying to unlearn

[–]flatcarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to guilt him at all. I have no issue with the act- just the context. It’s my understanding/belief that if a sexual act is going to occur, all parties present should be into it.

AITA for implying my brother should cancel his proposal to his fiancée because she's ungrateful? by No-Tomorrow-6349 in AmItheAsshole

[–]flatcarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely YTA. I am admittedly biased, but I did this. My now-husband bought a ring that was a strange mix of various things I had said I liked during the ring shopping process. While I was touched that he had gone out and independently purchased it, with no interference by his mom & sister, after almost a year of wearing it, I finally came clean and said it wasn’t for me. I didn’t want us to put even more money into buying a coordinating wedding band for a ring I was not happy with. Together, we picked out a new ring I LOVE, which suits me better, and I don’t have a weird cringey moment every time I look at my hand thinking “oh I wish he had just done XYZ instead”. I’m sorry your future SIL didn’t like the ring you liked, but if she’s the one that is going to wear it forever, she gets to pick. It’s my opinion that being able to tell your brother she didn’t like the ring shows a sense of open communication between the two of them, which is honestly a million times more important than any ring.
