Is there a store that has their own logo stamp that I can add to my notebook? Kinda like how some stationary stores have them for travelers. I know Outpost Stationery in Seattle has one, but I'm looking for one local.
I feel like I'm always the person putting in the effort to try and meet up with old friends, such as suggesting to catch up over coffee. Same with new friends when I try to go to meetups and other social events. However, I feel like all of my efforts get unanswered. I always get a "I'm busy" response. And I understand that people get busy, but I feel like this is the answer I'm always met with. I've been putting myself out there for almost 20 years and I'm almost middle aged and still don't feel like I've made a friend since college. I just received a 'return to sender' for a birthday card I sent to my old high school friend I haven't been able to talk to ever since she had her first child three years go. Is it honestly me? Or do I just stop putting in the effort since I'm not getting a response?
Did the city just start taking away the pay stations and replace them with the 'Pay by QR code' signs? I'm seeing less and less of them. I don't mind paying the $2 for street parking, but I prefer to pay by cash or card, not QR code.
Im recovering from being sick all last week and wanted to know where to get something healthy like a wrap. Places like The Chopped Leaf are closed today. I just dont want to eat the junk food my dad stocked up on while i was sick.
I've been sick all week with a fever and really bad cough. No one has taken care of me. I asked my dad to get some food for me that I can eat with my sore throat, but all he has been offering to get hotdogs or burgers or Taco Bell. F*ckin Idiot! No one eats those foods when they're sick, especially since I have a sore throat and coughing up so much! Couldn't even go to the store before they closed for the holiday to atleast get soup for me! I've never been so angry before I yelled at him at the top of my lungs that I could allow. Told me to cook food for myself if I was hungry because he and my older brother have been eating left oevers. I don't have money to order expensive doordash. I don't even have money to move out of my abusive livign situation. And he expects me be his nurse/chef/maid next week when I'm all better like nothing has happened.
I never received my special edition art book; the delivery carrier left it outside the door of my work place building when it was closed. There were even delivery hours on the door. I already submitted a ticket with the carrier. The pictures submitted by the driver even had the sign. Is there anything else i can do? I'm angry that i spent all this money for this item and waited all these months and I don't get what I paid for.
EDIT: I don't live in a safe neighborhood so that's why I usually have packages sent to my work place.
I've done a solo trip before to Japan in 2023, but this will be my first time traveling to Europe. My tentative schedule was to travel either late October or early November. I know the weather will be rainy and I'm used to the grey clouds and rainy weather. I don't speak any of the languages of the countries that I will be visiting. I'm worried about safety since I will be 37/F/African-American descent. Also pick pockets and people who would try to scam me in the streets. I'm well aware of the 'don't talk to strangers who come up to you' rule. And I'm completely sober; I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, or do drugs so I would be doing things that don't include those activities.
Paris, France | 3 days | Louvre, Eiffel Tour, Versailles Palace
Prague, Czech Republic | 4 days | Charles Bridge, Old Town Square
Berlin, Germany | 5 days | Brandenburg Gate. Tempelhofer Feild, etc.
Will this be enough time in each location? Will I need a SIM card for each country or could I just get by using wi-fi? Is November too early for the Christmas markets? Are the majority of places using card? Have stores moved on and not use cash anymore? Is it just electronic payments? I don't have electronic payment or pay by phone; I still use cash as my main source of payment where I live. I plan to take public transportation while I'm in these countries such as the metro and trains, but if it is late at night I would get an uber.
