This is a little different than other cancellation threads, so looking for some insider help on what to do next. Booked a Springhill Suites in Manhattan on Marriott.com months ago for this week Tue-Thu. On Saturday received a weird email from an individual who looks to be a front desk worker:

We are unable to accommodate your reservation at our location, however, we have referred your reservation to our sister property Double Tree Times Square West, located at 350 W 40th St, New York, NY 10018. Double Tree is delighted to host you and has agreed to keep the same rates for your reservation. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we hope that you e

Hi folks, I recently relocated from SMF (where Southwest has been great) to RDU (where Delta is king). I used to do a lot of business travel so have A List Preferred and Companion Pass and lots of leftover points and credits (expiring sept 2022). I will get A List Preferred extended through the end of next year but likely not the companion pass so I am looking to switch loyalty. My two flights with Delta this year have been pretty nice.

I can status match challenge to Gold Medallion but would need to do 15,000 MQMs or 15 MQSs and $1500 MQD or waiver within 3 months to keep that. I do not have any immediate travel booked and business travel is unlikely for the near term future.

I’m also

Was at NC Trail Days in Elkin, NC this weekend and there was a local vendor there selling a product called Nature's Dual Fuel which I couldn't find any info about on here but thought the community might be interested in. It was like a granola that had been ground in such a way that it could also be used as a fire fuel in any number of biomass stoves. The guy was primarily using a Solo Stove Lite but also had a couple homemade stoves made from cans and screen material that looked clever on their own. I tasted the peanut version and it was very tasty. Not sure it would make a full meal replacement but the guy recommended putting it on top of oatmeal for extra calories and flavor in the mor

We are relocating to WF in 2 weeks. We’ve already visited a few times so have a vague idea of what we’re getting into and have done a ton of research, but I would love it if this subreddit was more active so I’ll start with a few questions I have for now.

#1 - What do you like most about Wake Forest?

#2 - What one thing would you like to see changed? Please try to keep this to something attainable that the community or elected officials or somebody could accomplish like “the lights on Capital Ave should be timed” rather than pie in sky like “make traffic go away”.

#3 - Where is the best happy hour in Wake Forest? Bonus points for half priced appetizers and drink specials but more inter

Hi there. Wife's 2014 Jeep Cherokee is getting bought back as a lemon. We love everything about the car except the transmission (though the third one has been much better thus far). Fortunately we are getting a nice settlement, but unfortunately we have to go through the hassle of finding her the right vehicle again. Also unfortunately, my wife is insanely picky. Given the problems (and success of the lemon law), she is not looking for used. I think we've literally looked at every new possibility, but maybe I'm missing something?

Requirements:

• Light duty four wheel drive, all wheel drive, super duper mega active traction, etc. She commutes to occasional light California snow dur

Hi folks. I've finally become annoyed enough by the rotated letters on the keyboard on my 1948 SC Silent. It started with 1 that I didn't mind and now two more have started to move. Does anybody know how to fix this? I'm afraid to unbend the metal ring for fear of making it permanently loose, but is it as simple as that? I know my typewriter repair guy has a key tool, but can I do it enough on my own with basic tools without risking damage?

Thanks!

I just bought a 1953 Remington Quiet-riter. It worked ok out of the box after a fresh ribbon, but I gave it a good cleaning hoping to improve the clarity and consistency of a few letters.

Certain letters (specifically e m q p 1/2 and a) typically print faded on the lower half, maybe even lower-right. I'm fairly certain my technique is the largest contributor, as a perfect single stroke comes out nice and clean, but I'm wondering if there's an adjustment that needs to be made. It's like it's not square with the platen angle. With a few exceptions, it seems to me like it's mostly the arms on the outside edges that have to swing across to hit the center if that makes sense and makes a diff

I am an adrenaline junkie at heart and I've run out of ways to get my fix but I'm hyper-motivated right now.

I've already done the obvious things: mountain biking, dirt bikes/atv's, rafting, kayaking, hiking, camping, bungee jumping, go-karts (indoors and out), car racing, motorcycles, paintball, rock climbing, ziplines, open water swimming, surfing, hang-gliding, airplanes and sailplanes (dad is a pilot), hunting & fishing, etc.

Anybody have anything new for me to try? Bay Area to Tahoe, Redding to Fresno preferred but please throw out any suggestion. I'd like to try land sailing, cave repelling, paragliding/motoring, indoor skydiving, etc. if anybody has any recommendations.

I will be in West Palm Beach, Florida next month and want to do a hog hunt. I'm looking for somewhere free-range (or really large area) spot-and-stalk rifle preferred archery optional guided with basic processing help. Any recommendations?
