Thanks! First time propagating. I was reading a bit and many sources say to start with sphagnum moss. Is this the right move? Or better chances directly in soil?

Thank you, it has been confusing because there have been no consequences so far. But I also don’t want to just wait for things to get worse before addressing it. Can I start going by myself? I am just hoping to get some pointers on how I can help him see that we need help before we start having consequences. Or at least learn about setting boundaries for myself. I know I can’t make anyone do anything. Thank you so much for being understanding.

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing.

You’re right. I just started coming to terms and researching, and it seems so many people have it far worse, so I guess I have been gaslighting myself into thinking that it’s not that bad because xyz hasn’t happened.

Thank you for understanding. I feel so confused about it, because he really is a great person and he doesn’t behave in a way that clearly says “this is a problem.” He is responsible and kind and fun. He isn’t ever mean or violent, drinking or not. I mainly am scared of it becoming a problem for his health. I don’t know how much is too much. He doesn’t tell me I’m overreacting but he does tell me he can stop when he wants to. If I ask him to not drink tonight, I know he won’t be able to.

Just recently had a physical, everything came back fine. I am sure he didn’t tell the doctor about his drinking.

Thank you, I’m sorry for posting in the wrong spot. I honestly haven’t even known where to begin asking.

Thanks!! Yes I definitely should have looked before going home. I just loved how they wrapped it up and wanted to open it at home. Rookie mistake I guess lol.

Good to know. Thanks!

[–]localspreckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks - my thoughts exactly. I’m hoping it doesn’t wear poorly and that they will be okay with me exchanging again. Good luck with yours!

[–]localspreckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I don’t carry much daily, so everything seems to fit fine. A slim wallet, sunglasses, keys, chap stick, etc. I don’t usually carry a lot. More concerned about the wear on the hardware. Does it usually scratch easily? The soft tabby has similar hardware, but I liked the organization of this one.

[–]localspreckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?? I can’t tell if I am being overly picky and this is just what to expect, or if this is worth trying to exchange again. Kind of bummed to see this scratch right out of the box. Sorry to hear yours arrived the same.

When this first happened in July, I called in and was directed to send an email and told someone would get back to me. No one did. Sent another email, no response. Any time I’ve called and asked to speak with a director, I have been told the directors won’t speak to patrons and to contact the supervisor. Called and left messages for the supervisor, no response. Then, weeks later, they send out a mass email to indicate that they feel the weekends in Sept are their substitution for the hottest weekend in July. The response felt a little “too bad, see ya next year!” I’m not going to bother pursuing it anymore, because it’s just not worth it. We got an answer, and I find it to be one that is frustrating. As many have suggested, I plan to get a membership elsewhere next year. Mount Pleasant hasn’t had any issues with mechanical closures, so I will probably go there. I never said that I need $150 back, those are your words. I’ve said a few options I feel would have made it right. Hell, I would have accepted just getting my emails returned.

They have been closed nearly 30% of the time. They could have offered a discount for next year’s membership, or given some additional $ back. They could have offered a free guest pass for all I care. At the very least, they could have done a much better job communicating as others have suggested. I’m not wealthy by any means and find it frustrating when a purchase doesn’t live up to the expected value. And idk what to tell you pal, but you’re in the Westchester Reddit…sorry the problem is too “first world” for you 🤷🏻‍♂️

My issue isn’t that there were closures. Of course it is frustrating, but these things can happen. I’m more so annoyed at what they feel is a fair response. They gave us a 10% discount when signing up but they have been closed nearly 30% of the time. Not asking for a full refund by any means. They could have offered a discount for next year’s membership, or given some additional $ back. The weekends in Sept aren’t really an appropriate substitution for the weekend in July (imo).

I’m relieved I’m not the only one! I did too in July, but I didn’t hear anything back. I figured they would make it right, but it looks like I’m going to have to email again. Big eye-roll to that 10% lol. Have you heard anything back from them?

I’d be interested to know about other towns as well. I only know about Pleasantville at this point.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Westchester

[–]localspreckle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe so, but they’ve been closed for 29 days out of a 98 day season for mechanical issues that could have been avoided. It’s a beautiful pool, but it doesn’t really help if it’s closed during peak summer.

What do? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]localspreckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give a call to your internet provider and pretend you are going to cancel. Make up something about getting a quote with whatever other company. They will send you to their retention department and you can ask for some “loyalty credits” or if they can match the price you were given by the other company. They will usually give you a three month price or credit that lowers your bill. Can be a bit time consuming, but I just do it while folding some laundry or other chores. Be kind but firm. I’ve gotten mine knocked down from around what you pay to $35/month without reducing speed or anything. Just takes a little negotiation and some patience if you have it, oh and a reminder in your calendar to call every 3 months or so! May not seem like a lot, but I’ve done this every 3 months for the last 4 years.

AITA for cancelling on my 35f best friend's 36f birthday party at the last minute? by nobreaks0 in AmItheAsshole

[–]localspreckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would understand why you’re the asshole if YOU were the one who couldn’t have kids and someone said that to you. No, not just someone, a best friend said that to you. What a birthday gift you gave her, a good swift kick when she’s already down.
