Brianne Lindenau - S3E5 cut at the very end, "This conversation is probably not gonna make a lot of sense to you."

I seriously questioned why she was cut. The season did not really focus on her, it focused on the other rookies, so we really didn't get to learn much about her.

They really did not give much of a reason as to why she was cut. I am wondering what the heck happened! Or if they just HAD to cut, and for whatever reason, they chose to cut her over someone else.

Started cruising in 2023. Royal, Norwegian, Carnival - When did buffets decline?

My husband went on a Carnival cruise about 15 years ago. He remembers that the buffet was amazing.

He hasn't cruised until we got married and started cruising in 2023. He is a buffet person and has been so disappointed by the buffets on every cruise line we've tried.

I've asked him if maybe he was younger in the Carnival cruise, and his food standards were lower, so maybe it wasn't as good as he remembers. He said no.

I don't have anything to compare it to, but the buffets are really not that great. Royal was ok.

Were the buffets ever as amazing and my husband remembers? Did it start post-COVID?

If I tell husband, he will be hurt. But I am shouldering this alone.

Ongoing issues with MIL. She is passive aggressive, overly opinionated and pushy. There are also issues with both of my SIL. It has been very difficult, hurtful & stressful for me. I'm sure you all get it.

She has also made several rude comments to my parents. They do not feel welcome or comfortable around her.

For example, on mother's day, my MIL said to my parents, "You should be with YOUR daughters, and I should be with my daughters, and MY SON."

My husband is happiest when everyone is all together (his family and mine), but clearly there are cracks. I have hardly involved him in any of this, and when I have, he has not responded well- he goes on the defense and does not want to hear it. I have not told him how my parents feel, but now I am left alone playing this "between" game (navigating get togethers and making excuses between his family and my family).

If I tell him about how MIL has treated my parents, he will feel hurt; it will ruin something that he loves (holidays and spending time with everyone together). But if I don't tell him, I have to continue to play the "between game" and shoulder the burden and hurt alone. I'm stressed out about it and angry that his mom has caused this.

Obviously... today is a holiday so it's stressful for me.

Any insight to offer?

S2E7 Chandi's mishap- opinion...

Chandi made a mistake for sure.

BUT... I do think this all goes back to the immense pressure these women are under. Chandi was juggling 3 and even 4 jobs, plus DCC. I think that's what this ultimately came down to.

Too much pressure + having to still survive financially in the world, which whoop! Goes back to pay. If they had been paid fairly, and could truly dedicate their time to DCC, I think the pressure would be less. They could focus on DCC and recover physically and... MENTALLY!

Happy for all of them that they are getting paid better now!

I'm late to the party, S2E5 pay confrontation with 3rd yr vet Amanda

I just started watching the show. I'm on the episode where the 3rd year vet has a meeting with Kelli and Judy about not being booked, which leads into her hinting about if it's retaliation about the pay issue.

And Judy says, "Why do we want people to quit their full time jobs, when that's what's so impressive about y'all?" LMFAO! GTFO!

Judy then says she has been in the same boots... Girl NO!! Not with 2020's inflation, cost of living, etc. Times are different! Back when she was a cheerleader, you could survive on one income, and I am almost positive Judy said she was married while a DCC!

Judy been drinkin' the DCC kool aid for too long! What a joke!

Then Kelli FLIPS it on her, saying that another teammate said that Amanda was acting arrogant. You could see in Amanda's reaction that whatever it was was obviously a misunderstanding. Kelli out there on some toxic, manipulative nonsense!

Anyone know if any of the hot bar foods are made fresh there? Specifically the healthier items like veggies, tofu, quinoa salad, etc?

Not talking about mac and cheese, chicken wings etc which I heard come in a bag frozen. I am talking about the foods that you would consider "healthy"? Does it all come frozen on a truck or is anything made there?

Instagram won't send verification code to my cell phone, business account disabled

I have a personal Facebook, business Facebook, personal IG and business IG.

I received an email from IG and a phone alert to verify my identity for my business account. Problem is, when I hit the prompt to send to my cell, the code never comes!!

This happened to me a few weeks ago with my Facebook account.

I am locked out of my business IG and that's partly how I get clients.

Any similar experiences?

Water softener- Should brine draw ever be before back wash?

We have a Leaf water softener and have had ongoing issues. The tech switched it to brine draw first then backwash. I am reading that it's incorrect. He also had to override it to make it go first.

Anyone have any experience?

Critical partner, issue leaked into bedroom & affected sex life. As a slightly sensitive person, how do I get past this to improve our sex life? HELP.

38F and 45M. Together 10 years, married 5. You are going to read negative things about my husband in this post, but please keep in mind that he really is a wonderful person, solid and loves me. If he wasn't, I wouldn't have stayed.

  • Husband has the critical / stubborn / hardheaded / blunt personality type.
  • I have the sensitive / defensive / passive / can't speak up for myself personality type.
  • Examples: He would constantly watch what I'm doing and suggest other ways, shove me out of the way & take over doing something, etc.
  • We have BOTH CHANGED & improved drastically, but those core personality types are still there.

Point is... it leaked into the bedroom. I was afraid / nervous to touch him because he would criticize me. I can't get off with him unless I use a vibrator.

Examples: He said things like, "Don't touch it like you're gonna break it!!!!" I said I was going to get off on top, he scoffed and said "yeah right."

It has been THREE YEARS since I touched him... he does all the work and we always do the same 3 positions. I don't initiate, I don't touch him down there. With other people, I would get off easily on top. It's insanely difficult for me to do with him because I'm not comfortable / have mental blocks due to his critical personality type.

Since then, I have learned to speak up for myself and have gone to bat FOR MYSELF. He has changed a lot. But even though he apologized multiple times, he still has that critical core personality type, so I'm still uncomfortable!!

I feel like now he's just thinking the critical things but biting his tongue.

HOW DO I GET PAST THIS & MAKE OUR SEX LIFE BETTER????

We are both so young and love each other. I don't want to waste these years with sex that could be 10 times better :(
