I tried their home & auto insurance once. It was just Allstate. Then they sent me a letter in the mail one day asking me what my relation to [my mom’s name] was. I called their customer service line to tell them it was my mom, but I’m a grown adult and she lived in another state, so why were they asking? A few weeks later, I got a letter stating our insurance was canceled because I never responded about my relationship to [my mom’s name]. I did though? And again, why were they asking? So I had been driving around an uninsured car, living in an uninsured home, for however long it took for that letter to arrive at our house. Never again.

Reply to LPT: How to support someone grieving: the process is not linear and often takes longer than people think (even, and sometimes especially, when the relationship with the deceased was painful or estranged). A year may seem like a long time since a death, but to the grieving, it can feel very recent. by survivalothefittest
Sending much love to everyone in here, life is amazing and extremely hard at the same time. I personally lost my little sister to a car crash when she went to travel the world that broke us all, then my uncle and nan who had been pillars for me over my life passed away within a few days of each other, hopefully they are somewhere together having a laugh, drink and playing some new and old school music together. Hang tough everyone we all got this 💪💪❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

I totally agree, a superior who does not recognise his limitations and on top of that takes bad corrections from his employees in essence, is a bad boss.
However, going further, the idea is to make these corrections in the right way and at the right time. I agree with another comment here that it depends on the context.
Things that don't make much sense can be overlooked, things that are too technical have to be corrected, no matter the time and place, but always taking care of the manner.
In essence, a good boss will recognize these actions positively and will reward and encourage his employees to be like that.

This will depend on how one was raised, and their view and respect of authority.

Reply to comment by IncomprehensibleGoat in LPT Request: How do I stop my thought carousel? by travelcasket
Yes, this!
We don’t have to believe our thoughts. Our brains produce unhelpful thoughts all the time – and there’s nothing helpful about a thought spiral, especially when you’d rather be sleeping.
Notice when the thought first arises, and give it a label “wrong path” or “mean thought” or whatever. Then remember that you decided to take a different path – maybe imagine yourself exploring in nature to find a new path.
There are lots of ways to use metaphor and visualization (if that works for you) to help manage the unhelpful thoughts.
You can also think about what you’d tell a close friend if they were having similar thoughts. Or what your young self needed to hear as support.
Look into CBT for more info.
Good luck!

Hey I actually have this! You get it through the executive membership though.
The company isn't owned by Costco, they just offer members special discounts. Used to be called Ameriprise but now they're called Connect.
I live in Houston and drive a 4 door sedan. Annual for me is about $1200 and I have basic coverage. I'm sticking with this company still because a kid crashed into me 4 years ago, totaled my car, and this insurance made everything SO easy. They got me a check within 4 days, no questions asked.
Best experience with a car insurance company I've ever had

Reply to LPT: When you’re traveling, don’t bring all of your charging cords individually. Get a surge protector and plug them all in to that, and plug the SP into the outlet at your destination. Saves a lot of annoyance trying to find an outlet for each cord around the room. by [deleted]
also. take a multiple outlet power board with you. then you have multiple charge points with the use of just 1 power comverter for that foreign country

So your partner gets time off from work, but you don't?
Have him take the baby out for a walk in the stroller or to the park while you do a quick clean. Have him pick up lunch or dinner while he is out. Then when he gets back you can all relax together.
He can throw his own clothes in the wash. You are presumably washing your own clothes and his child's clothes, why can't he wash his own?

People just have a hard time understanding that not everybody wants/needs kids. We own a dog and that is already a hassle when going on holidays or wanting to sleep in. Can't imagine having to be responsible for another human being. People who want that in their lives, sure, go for it. Just don't feel the need to convince others.

Absolutely agree with this LPT. People need to respect others' decisions and boundaries, especially when it comes to personal topics like having children. It's important to support your friend's choices and remember that happiness and fulfillment can be achieved in many different ways. Pressuring someone or constantly asking them the same question can create unnecessary stress and make them feel invalidated. Just be there for your friend, regardless of their choices, and let them live their life the way they want to.
