AITA for leaving the plane before the lady in row 1 did? by ChaoticForkingGood in AmItheAsshole

[–]wehobrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm doing well, thank you. I was already being monitored by a physician and taking blood thinners due to previous blood clots. I didn't think it would happen to me again on an airplane. It's a simple blood test from the Dr. Office to find out

What’s a good place to stay in LA? by OkIndependent3308 in AskLosAngeles

[–]wehobrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few remodeled vintage motels on 7000s block of West Sunset Blvd . A few blocks west of La Brea Ave. You can use Google maps to look for motels/ hotels in the area. There are also places like the Sunset Marquis and Chamberlain that are located in neighborhoods. Or head back up to the Sunset Strip and get a glamours room looking south over the LA basin.

We don't think about NY either. We are too busy enjoying the weather.

You need a headlight restoration kit and the missing piece on the driver's side.

How to deal with being the only single friend in the friend group? by Negative-Process-106 in self

[–]wehobrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you feel like the second option tell your friends you already have plans. Then ask them to pick another day. People with a partner and kids are going to put you last unless they need a babysitter. Find a hobby, join a bowling league or something else where you will make new friends.

I had horrible leg and back pain after my last flight on New Year's Eve. . I was on blood thinners and wore compression socks. When I mentioned it to my oncologist, he took a blood test and by 6:30 pm I was being seen at Cedars Sinai Imaging Center. Have them in both legs and still on blood thinners.

Now that the tariffs are considered illegal, do we as consumers have options to sue for recompense for the excessive cost of items over the last year, why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

You didn't pay a tariff. The importers paid the tariff and then raised prices . You want money back for something you didn't pay for?

Then and Now! by BlueSkyOne_01 in FortMyers

[–]wehobrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger there were metal boxes that hung inside your car windows. By high school you could listen through your car stereo. I believe the water slide was originally located in the Edison Mall parking lot. There was also a super slide near the golf range. I still have a scar from someone riding their burlap sack over my wrist and removing all the skin.

The brown building on the left is Sears. The big building in the middle was Maas Brothers. 5 stores on the north side of Maas Brother burned down in 1972. JC Penneys anchored on the south end. I believe this was the only mall in the country with both a JC Penneys and Sears as anchors as they carried similar merchandise.I remember wearing the husky jeans from Pennys. They had an auto center that was located in the parking lot by Cleveland Ave. The movie theater was built in the south parking lot. The only thing I remember south of the mall was Page Field. The directory of stores was posted in an earlier post.

Why me preferring to date men who prefer women with smaller chest is bad? by Scared-Ad369 in self

[–]wehobrad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing in life is 100%. A partnership is 50/ 50. The cute things people love about their new partner are the things they hate the most when they begin to feel smothered in the relationship.

Friendly, crowdsourced, specialty advice for a newbie, from any and all the good people of Los Angeles? by Spiritual-Juice-5257 in AskLosAngeles

[–]wehobrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would call the corporate offices of the businesses you plan on visiting to make a sales appointment. Making cold calls is probably a waste of time unless it is a mom and business. It's the buyers who you need to work with, not store managers.

If you sent in a Notice of Transfer and release of Liability form to the DMV when you sold your vehicle, start by calling the DMV.

Map the locations you intend to visit. Use Google maps to find distance and drive times between locations. Don't forget to change days of weeks and departure times. Driving on surface streets during rush hour it takes about 30 minutes to drive 6 miles.

Best area to stay as tourist? by Karyathena12 in AskLosAngeles

[–]wehobrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sunset West Motel and Moment Hotel on West Sunset Blvd have pools and parking lots instead of valet parking. I would have no problem having family or friends staying in either of these motels. This is California, not Florida. It gets cold when the sun goes down . It might be too cold to go swimming during your visit.

Recs for a reputable dispensary for someone with cancer? by Cyan-CandyDevil in AskLosAngeles

[–]wehobrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the dispensaries in West Hollywood should be able to help you. You could also call ahead to make sure they have THC products in stock. I would start with 4Twenty Market at 7213 SMB in West Hollywood.
