was out running errands and she texted me; simply was asking what kind of butter and sour bc team…this is the entire conversation

I’m an MD anesthesiologist and was on a trans-Pacific flight when a woman on the other side of our airplane went into respiratory failure. She was suffering from severe hypoxemia at our cruising altitude in the setting of chronic lung disease. Long story short, she ended up completely losing consciousness and she stopped breathing for a short while, so myself and a couple EMTs had to physically carry her to the emergency exit aisle and perform lifesaving measures on her for just over 2.5 hours, as we were almost at the exact midpoint in our flight. In the end she regained consciousness and we safely transferred her to paramedics at the receiving airport, but we were physically breathing for her for the entire 2.5 hours she was in our care. If we hadn’t been there, she would have certainly died on the flight.

At the end of the flight, immediately after we handed off care to the paramedics, the flight crew started deplaning passengers. I hadn’t been at my seat for the last 2.5 hours so I had to rush back and hurriedly pack my belongings amongst the crowd of passengers. In the commotion, I inadvertently left my new Bose headphones under the seat in front of me—something I never would have done if I wasn’t taking care of someone away from my seat for hours. I didn’t discover they were missing until we were already on our connecting flight. After multiple phone calls and emails with United Airlines, they have informed me they can’t locate my exact pair of headphones without a serial number (which I cannot provide) because they have too many pairs of lost Bose headphones, and there is nothing else they can do…so I am out a new pair of headphones.

Tagging as mildly infuriating because obviously it is my fault that I left the headphones and I don’t have the serial number to locate my specific pair. Also, I can definitely afford a new pair of headphones. However, the fact that they have multiple pairs of headphones at the airport and they can’t return any of them to the owners without a serial number, and also the fact that this situation only happened because I volunteered to care for this woman, I think classifies it as a mildly infuriating first world problem. Thanks for listening to my rant haha. I just want my headphones back United!!!

I don’t really know what to make of this but my gf is gothy so she might make use of it. This is what they sent her dad’s ashes home in.

I censored the screen for privacy. Whenever he smokes he puts his phone up in the window like that, I am just patiently waiting for the day it falls so I can laugh and say "I told you it was a bad idea" tbh. Btw he'd have to jump into the neighbour's workshop to get it back, that thing down there is not our garden.

Lips will be dry for some time..

A while back, I made a post in here about my child's rough experience getting promoted at the martial arts school she was attending.

To summarize, they had recently changed their promotion requirements to be moved from a white to a blue uniform to be more difficult in order to ensure the kids were ready.

She didn't pass the first time she was tested and initially told that she didn't pass the second time either - this obviously led to a lot of tears before it was realized that apparently the instructor had misread the test and she had made a passing score.

The post got a lot of attention at the time, and when I shared this story, I got a lot of feedback from some people who were concerned that the school's process of multiple uniforms, with multiple belts per uniform, being charged per test, having to pay for extra private lessons to catch her up, etc. made the school a "McDojo." I didn't want to believe that, because I thought the head of the school was a legitimate and reputable guy and she had been going there for 4+ years - the people there seemed sincere, it didn't feel like the goal was just to make more money.

Fast forward several months later, and I'm here to say that I wish I had listened to those warnings. 😞😖

Once she got her new blue uniform, she didn't receive her new belt as expected a few months later because they said she hadn't attended enough classes... she missed one that month... OK, we'll try again.

The next month, she didn't get promoted again because they said she didn't earn it, wasn't performing well enough. OK, that's unfortunate, we'll try again this month... 🫤

That brings us to today. Several other definitely mildly infuriating things happened today.

She went to her testing day, and didn't get promoted again. In fact, none of the kids in blue uniforms did.

Why? Well, explained the instructor, the blue uniform kids are now on a longer cycle to get promoted and can only be tested by the head of the school himself. Where is he? He's on vacation. No promotions today.

This was apparently a recent policy change and took us, at least, completely by surprise.

Then, when they did promote a couple of lower ranked kids, they explained they would now be giving effectively "half-belts" - inserting new belts with stripes in between where they didn't feel the kid had fully earned a new belt. Another change that seemed to lengthen the timeline, and reminded me of the warnings.

Then, and in my opinion most blatantly, I overheard the instructor explaining to another concerned parent how they would now be prioritizing kids who attended *more* than 8 classes a month for promotions - so instead of twice a week, three times a week. However, you have to have to pay an additional cost over the base fees for your child to attend that much.

These three factors made the decision to pull her out of the school tonight seem obvious. And even then, there was a final, infuriating postscript - I was told that we would continue to be charged for training for an additional two months because we apparently have to give 60 days notice. That's another $200+ out of our wallet.

We're considering what to do now - find a different school? Take a break? She would like to continue in martial arts, but we're definitely a little demoralized by this and worried about trusting another school again that might turn out like this.

They have been here for 15 minutes, sitting outside the car. I guess it’s a good thing I don’t need to go anywhere. 🤷🏽‍♀️

You can see him still in action in the first pic. He left them like this.

The result? some parts were overcooked while the rest was undercooked, we couldn't finish all of it so we had to throw some of it (Fortunately they didn't cook a big portion, I HATE WASTING FOOD)

Luckily I was able to pull over safely and change it but I cut the hell out of myself in the process. Hopefully you guys enjoy my “masterpiece” lol

no to other flavors but this bag was literally just full of watermelon and grape not even a single green

Seems like a design flaw
