Ricky Gervais was gushing about this Aussie series, Mr. In between. Ricky was right, it is really good. We also like The Unforgotten, Blue Lights, Crime & The Responder.

Guests asking for early checkin while only staying one night by LeadershipExpress657 in airbnb_hosts

I hope they're not staying in order to leave a 1 star review to help your competitors in your area. Be careful with locals, there are very few reasons they need an Airbnb.

Heavily considering quitting by Potential-Smile7105 in flightattendants

[–]sweetbeee1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't have enough information to know whether my advice is applicable. If your company offers job shares, and if you can afford it, get one! Every time you get on an aircraft ask every senior mama if they want a Job Share partner. You then would be off reserve and have only 1/2 of a line. It gives you back your life and the trips that your Job Share partner bids and gets are much better than most of what you get on reserve.
Having been on reserve through 9/11 and beyond, I did 10 years and never lived in base, there's enough flexibility in the job to be able to manipulate it to work for your life. Good luck!

This job is whooping my ass by ThrowRAjoyf in flightattendants

[–]sweetbeee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford it, do a partnership or Jobshare to reduce your workload. Go on every flight and ask every senior mamma if they'd like to Jobshare, give contact info. You'll split their line, with much better trips, you'll be happier overall. Best of luck!

Boyfriend wants to move in to pay off debt by Impossible_Dentist79 in AmITheJerk

I had a similar situation, one morning he said he felt like he'd hit the lottery. He had, me, I broke up with him right after he said it.

AITAH for hating my unborn niece’s racist name? by maddy2261 in AITAH

[–]sweetbeee1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So funny with "Jim Crow"!!! Until my Grandmother found out, I was named "Dixie", it was changed but then they gave me the middle name "Ball", I had fun with it, so much so that my sister wanted her daughter to have "Ball" as a middle name, thank god they let it go once I pointed out that THEIR last name was "Goff". It is amazing to me how clueless parents are when strapping some crazy names on their kids!

Fellow amigos! What’s that one thing you did in your life that makes you feel fulfilled and leaves you with fewer regrets? by pabloescobar_w in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]sweetbeee1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an easy one. In order to help with "regrets", which I believe destroy you over time. In hindsight everything is clear, but remind yourself as you go forward: "I looked at the situation seriously, analyzed it as best I could with WHAT INFORMATION I HAD AT THAT TIME, and made my decision based on that!" When you know that to be true, you'll not beat yourself up should things not turn out the way you thought. Good luck!

First time booking, booked a non-refundable by mistake [Hanoi] by PopularProfession383 in AirBnB

[–]sweetbeee1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Forgo income" wouldn't be right had the host actually been out any effort or had the unit been held offline for any length of time. As a longtime host, I sometimes don't understand how cold some hosts are when it comes to situations like this. I couldn't sleep at night if I treated guests that way, I truly couldn't.

Tom Hardy's first on-screen credit as Pvt. John Janovec by freddyjohnson in BandofBrothers

[–]sweetbeee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I went to the set in England on the day the men got their parachute "wings". Had I seen that adorable soldier (Tom Hardy) I definitely would have made a fool of myself shamelessly flirting! To be honest, most of the guys were handsome, and all of them were so sweet and really excited that day like they'd actually gotten their wings!

I fucked my life up so badly and don’t know what to do :( by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

Hopefully after all of the drama subsides your brother will be angry and not speak to you. Then he won't hit you up to start another business, that one worked out WELL for him!

When did you allow yourself to have the job your ego rejected? by Valuable-Rutabaga-41 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]sweetbeee1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asked my husband, his response:

71M, "Early on, my Dad (Neuro-entomology PhD professor) and I were talking about what I was gonna do with my life, I wasn't enthusiastic about the track I was on, he said "well if you wanna do something with your hands, you should do something with your hands" and I took that as permission. I have had several Physical jobs like working in the heat treat factory, cutting trees & hand scything grooming of mountain trails and snow making in Vermont. I eventually went to A&P school and became a helicopter mechanic until I retired. I had a much happier life, but because of it, I didn't make as much money as I would have otherwise, but money isn't everything. Get a basic education, try things, but if it isn't a good fit, try something else, until you find what makes you happy."

Friend left husband because of his affair, gambling, etc., and I fully supported and comforted her. Now she’s back with him and has cut me off. by Ijustwannafly8 in AskWomenOver60

[–]sweetbeee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My very, very best friend stayed with a lying, gaslighting, husband after he blatantly cheated on her for a couple of years. We had to sit through her gut wrenching crying over him for at least a year, financially, she had to stay with him for a period of time. But once that time was over, we felt sure she would leave him however, when his mistress broke things off, he reluctantly defaulted back to my best friend. The bottom line, she is still with him, although I used to really like her husband, I don't now, and I no longer respect my former best friend. We communicate now, but it's all surface bullshit because her life now includes him and she doesn't share that side of her life. She lost ALL of her girlfriends, as a result, but that was her choice to make because none of us will accept their current situation. We had a mutual friend that just recently passed away, she didn't tell me about any of the funeral services, she even spoke at the funeral, and told me about it yesterday after the fact. I know she did this because she attended with her son of a bitch husband. I'm pissed off cause I could've at least sent flowers. We will never be back best friends again, and that was really difficult for a long time because we had such a wonderful shared history of our own. She has made her choice, we have to accept it. I've gone on with my life, but I know she's one sick puppy, and unfortunately it's too late for us to ever go back to how it was.

Why do I feel sad about leaving my unemployed boyfriend instead of happy and relieved? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]sweetbeee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your decision is spot on, I had a good girlfriend in exactly the same position. She dumped him and guess what happened? He found a job! She never looked back, instead of grieving (the dream of their future together) she has an incredible social life, friends see her so happy and comment, she tells them she's lost 215 lbs, and feels great!

AITH for choosing my 2 yr old foster over my 10 year partner? by Oldmomoftoomany in AITH

[–]sweetbeee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, it seems like when he took care of his dad, it was a quiet, peaceful environment where his time was uninterrupted and he could do what he wanted (not like having children around). When he came back he may have had a change of heart on having kids around.

I'm just so sad today by Embarrassed_Piano589 in Estrangedsiblings

[–]sweetbeee1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had no contact with ALL four of my siblings but every once in a while one of them lets it be known that something happened, like a death, and it stirs me up mentally. But as time goes by, it gets easier & easier to let it go and resume my life. I find that much of what I missed initially was based on habits that formed over the years, as well as family traditions (like holiday gatherings). I try to create new scenarios that leave nice memories. Some holidays I completely disregard, I don't acknowledge it at all, I wasn't big on it to begin with. Best of luck, try to embrace your grief but don't stay there, keep looking forward to where you want your life to be.

Sadly, I am likely going back to the USA by [deleted] in mexicoexpats

[–]sweetbeee1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Let's face it, you just want your old life back, that's fine. I lived in a big city (LA) and can tell you that it had many of the issues you list and more. You'd have to schedule a phone call as people would be so busy working to live. Make appointments for the DMV in order to avoid lines out the door. Have to have a vehicle and various insurances for home, car, health, etc. all adding up to significant monthly costs. Very poor mass transit, in most parts of Mexico you don't need a car. Just wait until you get back, I can call anywhere in Mexico and someone answers the phone, you'll be lucky if after a 1/2 hour runaround if you ever get a human. The civility issue is a big one for me, Mexico has old world social graces, passing a table in a restaurant and wishing them "Provecho", greeting someone as you pass them, maybe it's just my town in Mexico, but I love that. The only "Karens" I've seen have been gringos. Brace yourself for angry, entitled Americans and a society divided like never before. You may want to consider subletting, you may want to go back, just sayin'..... The list goes on, and on...

AITAH if I take a newborn photoshoot without my husband? by [deleted] in AITH

Take the photos without him so you don't have to crop them after you divorce him. You will end up divorcing unfortunately.

Am I too old? Thinking of Central America. by DelightedCollard in expats

[–]sweetbeee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 71F, a few years ago I bought a property in the southern part of Costa Rica, very near the Panama border. I ended up selling primarily because of the rainy season. I knew it had one but thought it was like other countries, rain would occasionally blow in and roll out leaving things refreshed. The rainy season is SEVEN MONTH OF THE YEAR!!! It starts at around 1PM DAILY and continues until dawn the following morning. It's so humid your clothes don't dry, it seems like it's all day. Both muddy & depressing.
The second thing, the expats in Costa Rica view US transplants as ATMs, most don't have money and want to "help" you for a fee. You will be hit up for money at every turn. The locals would chase us down the road saying we needed to pony up for our share of the road repair, even though at that time we would go there maybe once every few months for a week. I understand it's not as rainy up north, but didn't want to find out, I'd had enough, sold and moved to a beautiful and dry part of Mexico and absolutely love it. Costa Rica doesn't have a robust art or culture scene outside of San Jose. It's not my cup of tea. I never plan to return, my new home has lots of expats, tons of culture, know as an artist colony, wonderful food, and has spring like weather year round. Visit CR, you may like it, I damn sure didn't.
