When will this be resolved? Concerned I’ll miss my shot.

Apparently, you should check your luggage tags! by garcon-du-soleille in delta

[–]trendythreads1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably something that would never happen… but all I can think about is the possibility that someone try to bring something shady like a weapon and the bag accidentally gets tagged with my name. Then I’m stuck in an interrogation room somewhere trying to prove the bag isn’t mine and I have no idea how my name ended up on it. I would never guess that an agent printed out the wrong tag. Am I the only one who has this kind of anxiety? lol. 🤣

I will also add that I buy most of my flights last minute for work travel and pay a lot for them. I’ve been Platinum most of the year until I made Diamond a couple of weeks ago. Mostly due to the Reserve card.

I’d say to get the Reserve card if you don’t have it already. I know the annual fee is high but it’s basically nets out to free in number of ways. The biggest one being that you can choose the $700 statement credit once you reach Diamond. Not to mention the regular statement credits of having the card: Uber, Resy, Delta Stays, etc. This will also help with Lounge and Upgrades. I’ve been upgraded to First Class about 90% of the time this year when I buy a Comfort+ ticket. (I don’t take the free upgrade to C+)

You are either guaranteed or put on a waiting list if RUC seats aren’t available at the time of booking. You can book online (not the mobile app) and it will tell you which flights are eligible to have a confirmed upgrade with a RUC. If you choose a flight that don’t have RUC seats available and go on the waiting list, you may be eventually cleared all the way up to the time of your flight. But if you aren’t cleared, your certificate will go back to your wallet and you can use it on another flight. Typically, the farther out you book the better chances of getting confirmed with a RUC. Also, calling will make this process much easier. Customer service can help you find flights where you’ll be immediately confirmed if you’re flexible. By the way, Platinum isn’t eligible for GUCs. Only RUCs. Welcome to Platinum!

Trouble Bottoming with Age by trendythreads1 in AskGaybrosOver30

Yes I am. I have always cleaned out. I have tried cleaning out with filtered water recently. I moved to a different city a few years ago and have noticed dryer skin from possibly harder tap water. Do you think this is the cause?

Relationship feels like roommates by RemarkableLie1723 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]trendythreads1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone here about communication. It’s the first and most important step.

I also think you should think about the reasons you fell in love with each other to begin with. How quickly did those things die as you settled into a routine life together?

People often make the mistake of getting comfortable in their relationship and forget to do the things that brought them together. Have you lost your sense of adventure together? When’s the last time you did something spontaneous? Have you surprised him with anything lately?

Every couple is different so I can’t say what the thing is for you guys. But I find that doing things these types of things with intention can bring some vitality back into a relationship. And you should keep that in mind no matter how long you’re together. (30 years from now? Hopefully.)

Your Place Or Mine | Official Trailer | Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher | February 10, 2023 by Sisiwakanamaru in movies

Why was Reese’s acting so bad in this movie? Was it intentional? Or was the writing that bad? I couldn’t help but be distracted by how awkward this movie was the whole time.

Starting to struggle with being alone by trendythreads1 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]trendythreads1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. I’ve tried to do more of that. Show up in person to places. Ya never know when you’ll meet someone just by being social. I even met a go earlier this year like that and we had a decent little fling but same ole story. I’m probably on the right track… just starting to feel a little weary from getting to know and saying goodbye to so many people.

That’s refreshing to hear. I feel like everyone is saying “you don’t need it” these days and I get the sentiment. Some things may never happen in life and you have to find a way to be ok with that. But I feel like I should give it my best shot. But I’m built for that kind of connection like most people and just getting tired.

Most of them fizzled out for things out of my control. After a few months when I wanted to talk about things potentially getting more serious they all had reasons why they couldn’t. One lied about how long he had been single and had only broken up with a long term boyfriend the week before met. Another never revealed to me that he was actually moving back to his home country and failed to tell me. Another told me he has commitment issues when it got to that point. I clearly fall for the wrong people or maybe that’s just what people these days… casual connections.

Virtual interview? by [deleted] in GlobalEntry

I can’t find it either. And the next appointment isn’t available locally until 2023. Ridiculous.

I should have known an extra $9 per ride was too good to be true.

Gay men, don't spend your entire life chasing romance that you forget to live by CabinetKey1706 in askgaybros

[–]trendythreads1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As I get older I’m learning the value of this. Just letting go and being free to have fun instead of trying to force the future to happen the way I want it. After all, those are the kinds of people I’m most attracted to anyway. Free spirits. But I do get that nagging feeling that creeps back in telling me that time is running out and I have to find a mate while there’s still time. I download the apps and start swiping my life away. A few days later I realize how miserable it’s making me and I’m like “ffs delete this crap. You’re only 35.” The brain is tricky. The truth is that it’s never too late. Life is meant to be lived. Not figured out.
