Hi everyone! looking for honest opinions here like I worry a lot and might be over thinking it but wanted to see your realistic thoughts.

We’re planning a trip to Breckenridge, Colorado for 4th of July and will be driving in from Denver (so a fairly quick jump up in elevation). We’re expected to arrive around 11AM and I’m trying to get a realistic sense of how hard the altitude might hit my mom.

She’s 64, generally healthy, but does have occasional high blood pressure sometimes when she wakes up in the morning. She’s not super athletic but also not sedentary. She also is not medicated for it since she usually gets it in the morning if anything and when she goes to the doctor her BP is normal.

I keep reading mixed things online - some people say it’s totally fine, others say they felt really sick the first 24–48 hours. I just don’t want any like random health complication to come up I’m just really nervous

We’re trying to keep the trip relaxing, not overly packed, so I want to make sure we’re setting realistic expectations for her.

Appreciate any honest input from people who’ve done this drive or brought older family members up there.

So I was responding to a mean person on one of my friends reddit posts - and they responded to my comment with “Sure, [MY NAME]”

There’s nothing on my profile that alludes to my name (atleast I think so) so I’m really freaked out. Has this happened to anyone else arguing with someone on reddit and then somehow finding out your information? Is there a way to even do that?

Have already ruled out that it’s someone that we already know

My immediate friend group from high school (4 girls - we’re still all close and see each other) is going to our friend’s wedding who’s also in our core hs friend group. We’re renting a villa for the weekend.

There will be 7 people total: 3 of us are bringing our boyfriends, and 1 friend is single.

The villa is $2,363. Splitting by room (3 couples + 1 single) would be $590.75 per room. I suggested splitting by person instead, so it would be $337.57 per person. Those of us with boyfriends would pay $675.14 total, which is only about $84 more per couple, but it means our single friend is paying about $253 more than each of us individually just because she doesn’t have someone to split with.

I also pointed out that if it were just the four girls, we probably wouldn’t even be renting a big party-style villa—we’d likely get hotel rooms or a much smaller Airbnb. The villa only really makes sense because there are 7 people.

One friend responded that after talking it through with another friend, she could see the logic and was happy to split per person. But then our other friend said:

“An extra $85 is fine but I stand by my logic that it doesn’t matter if a plus one is there or not 😂😂😂 idk if [boyfriend] can come yet but either way I’ll pay pp.”

That rubbed me the wrong way because it feels like she’s framing it as doing the single friend a favor by paying the extra $85, when I see it as simply the fairer way to split it. I also disagree that plus-ones “don’t matter”

Who’s being more reasonable here?
