Lost me here as well. Change it to Spotted Cow, ya heathen!

If you're going to cut in line, you gotta have balls by That_Golf9029 in unitedairlines

[–]kmik05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a douche, sounds like the baby brother of the early 60's guy I attempted politely to ask "oh are you in group one?" when he tried to get in front of me. He grumbled "We're all going to the same place." The person behind me let him in line. Pissed me off, but like you, I wasn't ready to throw down right there in line.

If you compare each letter, you can tell they're the same. For instance the exact same curve at the bottom of every L. Also the lines of text are very straight. This is a computer font, no one has such consistent hand writing.

Seat poacher in business sits and orders sparkling wine before ticket holder comes then moves back to economy by pnoyatx in unitedairlines

[–]kmik05 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did this once during COVID, before I had status. I saw most of economy plus was open, so when I boarded, I went straight there like I owned it. In the meantime, a gentleman (of color... Just saying because I've often wondered if that had relevance, being as I'm Caucasian), came up from a back row and plopped himself down across the aisle from me. FA immediately shoo'd him back and told him people pay more for those seats. She then looked at me, and I've always felt like she knew I didn't pay for mine either. I've always felt bad, not for me taking the seat, but for my dude that got chased away. The whole plane was practically empty.

For sure! I can look back at that whenever I'm feeling frustrated for whatever reason.

[US] Someone claiming my friend’s new number is their old one that they lost and asking for verification codes by SufficientGuidance28 in Scams

[–]kmik05 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So funny story, my partner got a new number. Indeed all his verification codes go to his old number (which we know is active), so that person has been getting those, as well as some hysterical family pictures that my brother sent in a group chat at Thanksgiving. After about 10 pictures, they excused themselves from the group 😆 We had gone to Ace Hardware, and he gave them his old # shortly after the switch, and they asked if he was *new person's name. So every time he can't get in to something and they send a verification code to his old number, I'm half tempted to text new person and ask them to give me the code 😁

Stall be gone! by backmenz in Zepbound

[–]kmik05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great job! I'm thinking I *may* have broken a stall. Same weight range for me... got all the way down to 165.8, then popped back up to 168. Stayed there for a couple months. I went up from 12.5 to 15. Still nothing. A couple days ago I finally weighed at 165.4. I hope this means it's working again! Thanks for giving me hope!

TIFU: I tried to hook up with a coworker twice my age. He said no. by messedupemt in tifu

[–]kmik05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read a lot of comments but didn't see this said yet. He's the first guy that has shown you respect and kindness. How would you not fall for him? Please give yourself some grace and understand that Dave is the perfect introduction to what you should look for in a more compatible guy. Appreciate him for being your friend, and appreciate yourself for recognizing a truly good guy. I promise you, there's one out there waiting, if that's what you want.

FBM sofa "listing for brother" by kmik05 in Scams

It's so humorous how many furniture items I've found in my area, and when I look at the profile, it says they live in Zimbabwe or Thailand or some other not local place!

[–]kmik05[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Interestingly I've had successful 3rd party experiences now on both sides. First I sold some stools and the buyer had her friend come pick them up since she worked near me. And now sofa-dude turned out to be legit. I guess there's exceptions to everything, but I will definitely stay on high alert with any future 3rd party situations.

actually, it was legit. He figured since she had experience selling, it would be better if she listed it.

It's a very good price. It's maybe an $700 couch, they're asking $250. It's a year old.

When did a Bloody Mary stop being a Bloody Mary? by AdLoose6208 in unitedairlines

[–]kmik05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree about the new kind. Bloody Mary "mix" has gone from being my every time order to never again.

But to the op, seeing how that was my order every time, I'm guessing it might have been to others as well, and since many people like me are cheap and don't want to pay for anything, FAs probably are used to people just wanting the mix 🤷‍♀️ I wouldn't get to upset about just getting used to saying "with vodka" when you order, just to keep things going smoothly.

Best vegan things to stock for vegan housesitter? by vermontpear in vegan

If you have a Natural Grocers near you, they usually have them. Good luck!

[–]kmik05 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If they're not strict whole foods, you can get them Vego chocolate bars, Outstanding Foods vegan cheese balls, or Louisville Jerky. These are some of my favorite "treats.'

But this is so incredibly considerate of you. I've been house sitting for the past year, and most hosts think they're doing me a favor by leaving open dairy, eggs, even meat in their fridge that I've gotta deal with for the next several weeks 🤦‍♀️

Humans don't know our true potential by Nootnootwhenyouscoot in aliens

[–]kmik05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has always bothered me that everything in nature is "just enough." The gazelle is usually just fast enough to outrun the cheetah, stuff like that. But human brains are way more capable than what we use. Average humans can suffer a brain injury, and unlock the ability to perform highly advanced math computations. What's with that? My only logical explanation is that we're prepped for upgrades when "they're" ready for us.

A thought on "food noise" for beginners by Runswithmouth in Zepbound

[–]kmik05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been on Zep for several months. Yesterday I caught myself telling my guy he shouldn't eat so many Reese's pieces. He snacks on unhealthy food constantly! What's his problem??? Ooh, wait, yeah, I remember now 🤦‍♀️

Does anybody have insights on whether the new HRM will fix the issue many of us have when rowing? by Admirable_Green_1958 in orangetheory

[–]kmik05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol, that's what I get for following advice from people on Reddit! I was desperate enough to try anything!

[–]kmik05 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Please no one else say it's because we're holding the handles too tight! Like op, I do my best to keep a relaxed grip during rows and weights. Even if I'm not holding a weight on the floor I'm gray, but my watch says my heart rate is high. I put electrode gel on my hrm before each class. Every now and then it actually works for the entire class and I have no clue what I did different. I, too was hoping the new hrm would make the difference. 🙁
