@GingerHead Nope. I was told no rooms available and she was offered the exact room I was told they didn't have. 

 

And as much as I would love to be like her, I don't think that highly of myself. Truly just a wording. 


@Laura14 

 

OK, gotcha...that's not good, never heard of that!

 

Did you get that funny though? No room at the Inn, anyone, anyone????Woman Very Happy

@tansy Yes, we were sitting next to each other with our own devices. I never said anything to Hampton. She obviously made the reservation after I called the trip off because I was so mad at being treated second class and her being okay with it.

 

I wouldn't have gone if she didn't beg me to. I get not being able to control the world, but the fact that the haves never step up and back the have nots honestly has really damaged my close relationships. 

 

Not the topic of this thread, but be aware that someone can see a completely different availability or price point at the exact same time depending on who the internet thinks you and they are.

On another note - gas prices are now lower than they have been in 5 years. 


 

 

For me the price for gas is irrelevant. I hardly drive anywhere.


The price of gas affects delivery of goods so everyone is affected, driving or not.

Gas was $2.07 yesterday but it's $2.09 today.

@ThinkingOutLoud 
If you just google the title, there is a great synopsis to read. Additionally, the majority of youtube videos have one underneath each video too.  Smiley Happy


OK - I'll make it more clear. This is a *discussion forum*. People shouldn't be pointed somewhere else to comment on a thread that you start. As another poster mentioned, I'm not going to add clicks in order for someone to get compensated for promoting things.

@ThinkingOutLoud - it discusses Instacart and the way they charge shoppers based on algorithms even though they shop online from the same store with the same grocery list. 

 


NOTE- The video is labeled as a FUNDRAISER for a group called More Perfect Union


Thanks

I don’t doubt that this is probably true.

 

   The issue is that some of us have grown suspicious based on past interactions with this person. No offense person, speak up if you think you've been unfairly labeled...

 

I’ve tried to have conversations with her about her diet  (I'm very interested in nutrition and have experience with a brother on that diet), but she has never once responded to my posts....which are never rude, by the way.

 

Instead, she makes bold claims and, when questioned, simply directs people to watch videos from a particular “doctor.” She never summarizes or explains the content herself, only tells others to go watch the videos.

 

It comes across as odd that someone wouldn’t want to actually discuss a topic they claim to be passionate about, especially when they repeatedly post about it on a forum.

@Kachina624

Are you talking about your car's gas tank or your home gas tank?

I was trying to give people another option to find the story, @GingerHead. I read the OP's threads often. I lived that life pretty strictly for my diabetes and just don't chime in anymore on keto. 🤷‍♀️

@Q-Checker

I have been on the receiving end of being accused of being compensated for my posts here. What happened to a person being innocent until proven guilty? It's hurtful.
