To keep things brief, my dad used to live in Las Vegas/Laughlin. He had a history of dementia that had a pretty rapid onset and had about 3 strokes in the last few years of his life resulting in aphasia.. All of his kids, including myself, live in California. He would constantly move because he didn’t want to pay very much for an apartment, and would always find a better deal somewhere else. He was stubborn and would still want to do things himself and live alone, and there wasn’t much we could do even though we tried almost everything.

I want to say a decent amount of his things are in a storage unit. I unfortunately can’t remember where, but all I know is it’s in Las Vegas. I had to help him once as he couldn’t speak to one of the employees properly.

We recovered his car that had a lot of his belongings, but we know for a fact that he probably still has stuff left in his storage unit. We’re assuming he had what was most important to him in his car.

Is there any way we can find out where it is? Or is this a lost cause? Would we deal with any difficulties in terms of getting his stuff?

Currently making a humanoid pokemon cosplay for Pokemon worlds, and I’m in the process of making pretty hefty animal ears on a headband. I don’t think I plan on wearing a wig, so it’s basically just a headband attached to my own hair. In terms of weight, it’s probably going to be pretty similar to structured miku twin tail wigs, but I know a good amount of those use PVC piping glued into the wig base for structure.

My partner and I are traveling in August to SF and I was offered a SUA by a friend to use, the standard suites seem okay at this location but the premium suites seem to be in another world.

If we use the SUA, does that lower the price to upgrade to a premium suite? Or is it still the same price to upgrade no matter what room you start with? I tried to ask the staff at the hotel we’re staying at over text, but they didn’t answer my question and just kind of gave me a copy and paste response

No matter how often I clean my cushion and sanitize everything, cushion foundations are the bane of my existence and keep breaking me out. Even when I cleanse and moisturize my skin diligently.

My main issue is, the formula for the JSM cushion is PERFECT. Genuinely my skin has never looked so great, and I always get complements when I use it. It gives me the worst cystic acne though and it’s definitely because it’s a cushion foundation unfortunately. I don’t notice this on non-cushion foundations. I tried using the Unleashia cushion because it was advertised as hygienic but the finish is so bad on my skin…

Anyone know of a formula that’s similar to the JSM essential skin cushion? I was thinking of getting the bottle foundation from JSM, but $48 is a little steep and I’d want to be able to know if it’s similar before purchasing. I’m also looking at their new PDRN skin tint and it seems really promising as I have dry skin.

My dad had passed away suddenly earlier this year in April, and was divorced from my mother. He lived a couple states away with my aunt, and we had brought his car recently and his personal belongings over to my mother’s home in California as he had no estate of his own. We unfortunately didn’t know that he was paying this car off, and it got repo’d in the middle of the night 3 weeks ago.

My mother unfortunately didn’t have enough space in her garage for all of his belongings, so a good amount of things were still in his car. Lots of old memories, a lot of vintage devices that we remember from our childhood, and keepsakes.

My oldest sister is authorized to pick up his belongings, and it’s been a difficult and complicated process.

We ended up having a fight over this, because she doesn’t care about his belongings at all, doesn’t want to deal with it, and had said some incredibly hurtful things to the rest of the family that can’t ever be taken back. She’s also purposely omitting info about the proper documentation and forms for his life insurance and federal pension. To be quite honest, I don’t want to fight over money. I just miss my dad and want his things back.

My middle sister and I however care a ton about his old items and the memories behind them, but we don’t have authorization from the financial company or the repo company. My sister is purposely omitting info she has gotten from them on where his personal belongings are out of spite.

I’m assuming we’re out of luck right? I doubt there’s anything we can do to get his stuff because we’re not authorized on his account. I thought I’d reach out here just in case, just as a last hope on what else we can do.

My partner and I are going to SF in August for an event and I booked a standard room at GH at the beginning of the year with points. I wanted to try the Embarcadero but it seems the hotel isn’t available all for our dates and SOMA wasn’t available for a points rate at all which was a huge bummer.

I’ve heard mixed reviews on the Grand Hyatt in SF, and most of the positive reviews are from suite bookings. I’m a little worried that our room won’t be nice, or service won’t be good now. Has anyone here stayed in one of the bay view king rooms? Were they nicer than the standard rooms? I’m considering upgrading if so, but want to make sure it’s worthwhile to upgrade.

I live in a coastal tourist town that is pretty common for destination weddings. Due to the state of the economy and housing costs, I still live at home with my parents but I’ve been petsitting on Rover for about 2 years now. I’ve been really happy with the clientele list I’ve built and I genuinely love and appreciate a lot of my regulars. The locals in my town are so sweet and kind and it’s made me really love doing this gig.

I made it very clear in my profile that I don’t do hotel petsits, but people are so persistent. I mainly don’t do it for safety reasons, but I’m very adamant about doing meet and greets to vet both the client and their pet. With 4th of July coming around I’ve gotten a handful of hotel requests and most of the time people are respectful, realize they didn’t read my profile, and go on their merry way.

For some reason I have 2 requests right now that are just persistent on me making an exception for them. One of them even sent me a long paragraph about how they have two daughters and totally understand if safety is a concern and still wants me to book with them. I get the reassurance, but the blatant ignorance with just not listening to me telling them no is frustrating. I get that I can just reject and archive, and I absolutely do! It’s just this happens more often than not, and I don’t really know how to curb it.

Considering getting an IPL for my bikini line because I hate stubble, and it tends to grow back super fast there. I don’t necessarily mind waiting a long time for results (6mo-1yr+) but when using an IPL after shaving, does it get rid of stubble?

My main thing is also even after just shaving, there’s plenty of visible stubble under the skin that I’d like to get rid of, I thought about waxing again but I’ve gotten an ingrown hair or two and want to avoid that scarring. Maybe I’m just not shaving correctly?

I just got a $2800 housesitting request for a little under 3 weeks and I originally was very excited to see if things worked out at the meet and greet. I got the request, but I’m away from town for the week due to a funeral and had explained this to the client. She asked me if I could facetime and then do the meet and greet when I come back, which… I guess is ok but I don’t really want to facetime during such an important time to reconnect with family. I compromised and said I’d be fine facetiming next weekend, and then she proceeded to ask if I was free tomorrow. Before this, I had literally communicated I was not in town and away for a funeral. She had given condolences and immediately right after was when she asked if I was available tomorrow morning 🫠 It just feels a little insensitive and I kind of just feel like I should just not go through with this.

Any idea how to give a kind… response to walk away from this? 😭

update: I should’ve clarified I don’t care about the money. Yes $2800 is a lot. My dad died and the last thing I can do right now is communicate with someone who keeps pushing me to facetime them when I said I was unavailable. The sit isn’t until early September. I just wanted to post this for advice on how to best respond to REJECT the booking.

Just doing a pulse check to see if anyone’s gotten anything yet since the interest list closed up yesterday. AFAIK the multi-day passes had a small batch sent out the day after, so if anyone would like to chime in if they’ve received emails yet 👀 I’d love to keep tabs on how this is being spread out and keep everyone updated!

Hi, sorry if this isn’t the correct place to post but my father passed away recently and we just got his ashes. A few family members wanted to have him memorialized in jewelry with the little containers to store ashes. We also are planning on scattering some of his ashes at sea. Does anyone know of a good place where this can be done? Could most funeral homes do this?

Just always thought it was interesting that people would agonize and meme about how bad Emaj is to play, I just never got used to it and did what I assume is an inversion with 4442… I mean it doesn’t sound insanely different but maybe I’m not thinking hard enough? Idk! Was just curious on what yall think about it and what you prefer to play :)

Just a random thought I had, they were just normal people too. I feel like people being parasocial and digging up pictures of mods just went too far, even if we were all kids.

For the past 3 days and nights, a cat has been showing up at our front door and sleeping outside our home. We left her some water and a small amount of food every day, and she doesn’t seem like a normal outdoor cat. She seems really uncomfortable outside, and keeps yelling to come into our home. As much as we’d like to, we already have a cat that hates other cats, and a dog.

I ended up looking through my local nextdoor group and found out that multiple neighbors have seen this cat already. She’s been brought to the local humane society about 3 or so times, and picked up by her owner every time. It’s clear that their cat doesn’t come back to their home at night, and they just seem to be letting her free as soon as they have her again.

I’m getting worried as we have a high population of coyotes in our neighborhood, and it’s only been getting worse. A few neighborhood cats have already died in the past two years. Is this neglect? What can we do?

After deciding between a baritone and a 3/4 guitar and waiting a couple months I think I’m set on moving forward and getting a baritone— I saw that Pono makes a slightly larger baritone and thought that was pretty sick. I currently only have a soprano and a concert ukulele and wanted something that was bigger and had a richer tone.

Anyone know of any other baritones similar in size to Pono’s? Trying to find something at least under $250-$300.

Hi all, I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask. Tried to post this in r/woodworking but I didn’t have enough karma as I don’t have any experience with woodworking. My dad passed away a little over a month ago and we’ve been discussing what to do for his memorial. I figured this would be the next best place to ask… even though it’s not necessarily about a regular life sized boat.

He would always mention that he wanted to have a viking funeral and be set ablaze at sea. That’s illegal, so we can’t do that. He was also cremated, so we only have his ashes. We were thinking of setting his ashes out at sea, and I had thought about making a wooden boat to try and at least honor his wishes as best as we can. I’m thinking of those viking pyre boats you can put ashes in, but afaik we may not be able to light it on fire so I’m struggling to figure out what materials would be best.

Our local county permits the service in general and we did reserve a private charter, however the boat needs to be biodegradable and ocean friendly. I know that there are some business that specialize in making these memorial boats, unfortunately it’s something that we wouldn’t be able to afford. I also thought the idea of making it ourselves would personalize it and make it more memorable :’)
