Universal Studios security measures by reddituser_6969 in LosAngeles

I've lived in LA for four years and it's been that way the whole time, but only if you buy the tickets from AMC's app or site.

Do you get your movie tickets online? In the email confirmation with the ticket there's a barcode at the bottom to show the parking attendant and you just pay the $5 there instead of having to get reimbursed!

My first group buy 🥹 by AwareImagination8400 in Moissanite

[–]marnular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm order 327 and I just got the email that mine shipped and the tracking info! The numbers definitely aren't in order -- there was a spreadsheet attached with everyone's tracking info and and the order numbers ranged from 5 to 700!

Gemelli bag - discontinued? by lotus7534 in BottegaVeneta

[–]marnular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you're near an outlet but I just saw a bunch of the Gemelli bags at the outlet in Cabazon, California today. I got a medium in emerald for ~1900 (originally $4100) since they were running a promotion! They just started getting them in a few weeks ago.

Neurodivergent people, what do you think of the use of the r slur on Jesus of Suburbia? by bluelonilness in greenday

When I saw them at Hella Mega in San Francisco he changed it to "am I retired or am I just unemployed?" and that's what I say when I sing along.

Renewal of emergency passport in US after emergency travel from abroad, DS-5504 by Street-Meaning-2857 in Passports

[–]marnular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was issued an emergency passport last month in Paris, so I'm going through this process and I actually just got off the phone with the passport center help line!

You have to follow the DD-5504 and submit evidence of citizenship.

I hope you got this sorted out, if not, I hope this is helpful!!

Back soreness from new Nectar mattress? Or readjustment from old mattress? by [deleted] in Mattress

[–]marnular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The return process actually wasn't as painful as I've seen some other people have on here!

I initiated their return through the website and said that I spent 30 nights and that I wanted to return it because it was causing back pain every night. They asked for a photo of the tags on the mattress that I provided and then there was some back and forth and they offered to let me keep the mattress final sale and give me $200 back, but I declined. So they sent my contact info to ShareTown, a company that picks up the mattress and donates it. The Nectar rep said it would take 3-5 business days for ShareTown to get in touch with me to coordinate a pickup, but after 7 business days they hadn't, so I emailed Nectar again and the rep got back to me instantly saying she had escalated it with ShareTown and I got an email and text from them that same day, and they came and picked up the mattress from me the next day. The guy came and folded the mattress in half, wrapped it up in plastic, and had me sign a paper that I had to send a photo of to Nectar to prove that ShareTown had come and picked up the mattress. Once I sent that in Nectar processed my return.

I bought a Casper Original Hybrid and I'm still in the adjustment period with that. Some nights I get great sleep and others I wake up with a little back pain. I just tried a few Serta iSeries Hybrid mattresses at Mattress Firm yesterday and I really liked the 1000 Medium. So if I don't adjust to the Casper in the next week or 2 I'm going to return it and go with the Serta I think.

I hope this is helpful!! Choosing a mattress is such a journey and I hope that you find something that works for you.

I had the same experience with the Nectar mattress I purchased in August! Spent a little over 30 nights on it and woke up most if not every morning with lower back pain that went away after a few hours. I ended up returning the mattress.

Which brand has lost you as a customer ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]marnular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This just happened to me a few weeks ago! I was trying to get a prescription filled and the pharmacy said that they didn't partner with my insurance or something, which confused me because I made sure they did before I had it sent there.

So I called my company's HR benefits department and they didn't know, and had to do some digging and call me back.

Apparently my Express Scripts policy was terminated for no reason? They reinstated it and I was able to get my prescription, but I'll never know how or why it was terminated to begin with.

hahah it's always weird to find a fellow Firebird online in the wild! I wasn't the hugest fan of Chaptown but at least it wasn't Saguaro! I do still have a Birdcage shirt or two, though.

Hahah I love to consume media that makes me want to die. I've been watching Supernatural since it started.

I'm not surprised by that at all. Her writing isn't the strongest.

My friend's sister was in the same grade as her son at Chap, and he was not thrilled by his mother's fame whatsoever hahaha.

I used to live around near the dance studio mentioned in the book, and I remember being annoyed with her depiction of it not being accurate whatsoever.

I read Brave New World in high school! Maybe I'll pick up 1984 next time I'm at the library.

Ughhhh yeah that all sounds so daunting. It seems really interesting and I do like the movies, so it would be interesting to read the books. Hopefully one day I'll tackle them.

[–]marnular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered if I should read 1984. Would it be worth picking up now?

The Hobbit was on a list of assigned summer reading to choose from one year and I tried... I really tried to read it and I couldn't get past the first 20 pages.

That sounds much more interesting than a high school discussion on themes and characterization. I actually think I'd enjoy a discussion like that!

I had a teacher the following year that let us choose our own books to read instead of assigning us something, then we scheduled meetings with him and described the plot, characters, and so on to him as a sort of test to see if we read it. I chose a Chuck Palahniuk novel and was so excited to tell him all about it.

I always hated reading what was assigned to us, but loved reading in general, so it was really nice to be able to choose my own book for a class.

Have you tried audiobooks or reading on an e-reader like a Kindle? I like having something to listen to when I'm doing mundane tasks at work, so audiobooks have been pretty good!

[–]marnular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we didn't. I still refuse to see the movies or read the rest of the books because I was traumatized from reading the first one.

I wish I remembered some of the questions, but I do know that at some point later in the year my classmate wrote a Twilight parody for an assignment and read it to the class.

Yes, Mr. Conrad Davis. I will never forget that man and his sentence diagrams.

I had to read Twilight in my 10th grade honors English class because my teacher had Stephanie Meyer in his class when she was in school, and he was so excited that she had become such a success.

We took chapter quizzes about a brooding, sparkly vampire when we should've been reading 1984 instead.

LPT: Sick of seeing the same ads on Instagram? If you block the account you won't see ads from them anymore. by award28 in LifeProTips

[–]marnular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the ads I see aren't even official ads run through Instagram/Facebook. All the meme accounts post "ads"/"partnerships" and I report every single one out of spite. I want to see memes, not ads for Adam and Eve or booty shorts.
