What are some tattoo shops that are good/aren't crazy expensive?

I just checked out Banyan Tree tattoo in Lahaina and they quoted a $250 minimum, and I showed them two tattoos both around 2 to 3 inches and she said they would be around $350 each. Which is crazy!! Anyone have any recommendations?

I have food poisoning and cant keep any liquids down. I'm thinking of getting a mobile IV to get fluids, and see if theres any anti nausea meds they can add too.

Has anyone taken anti nausea meds while on Pristiq that are safe?

My boyfriend (30M) and I (28F) ordered Chipotle tonight. He ordered it on his phone and I was on the phone with him while I told him my order. Every time we get Chipotle, I ALWAYS get the vinaigrette. He knows this, and knows I love it, and dont eat Chipotle without it. Whoever is picking the order up has to ask one of the workers for a side of it, because you cant ask for a side on the app. Usually, if my boyfriend is the one picking it up, I always remind him, "hey, can you please get a side of vinaigrette)?".

So after about 20 minutes after telling him my order I realize "oops, I forgot to remind him about the vinaigrette". So I call him, but as soon as he do he gets home. I ask if he got me the vinaigrette and he said "sh*t, no I didn't. I thought about getting it but you didn't say you wanted it, and I didn't know if you wanted it or not."

Before I answered the door, I was leaning towards the feeling that he didn't get it for me, but was hopeful he did. I told him I was upset that he didn't get it. I told him I was upset because I ALWAYS get it, everytime. And just because I forgot to tell him to get it, I would hope that he knows that I would want it and get it for me.

Its not really about the vinaigrette, and I know it sounds so stupid. But to me, its about the fact he knows me, knows its what I always get, and he even thought about it. We've been together 10 years and I wish I didn't have to tell him and remind him in order for him to get me the vinaigrette.

So, AIO for being upset over this?

Something happened on Christmas Day a few months ago that involved my twin sister and I, my mom and her boyfriend, and has since then truly affected our relationship with each other.

My twin sister (28F) and I (28F) went to my mom (55F) and step dads (60M) house for Christmas, along with our boyfriends. We were having a great time. Secret santa, opening gifts and having a good time.

When we first arrived at their house, I noticed all the food was sitting on top of the counter, covered in foil. About 3 hours later when we headed to the hot tub, I noticed the food still sitting on the counter. It was already cooked shredded pork in one pan and baked noodles with shredded cheese sitting on top. Everything was cold to the touch. I am cautious about the food I eat and felt like that was too long to be sitting out on the counter.

At the hot tub, I asked my mom about the food sitting on the counter, and she was like "it's fine", but then hurriedly got up and went back to the house to put the food in the oven. I told my sister about the situation and she was sketched out, especially because she has emetophobia and is scared of getting food poisoning.

Back at the house, my boyfriend and I, and my sister and her boyfriend went into another room to discuss if we were comfortable eating the food. Of course, knowing that my sister has emetophobia, I was hesitant to bring anything up at all. BUT, I was genuinely concerned about everyone's safety. I didnt know if the food was safe or not.

At this point it had been sitting out for 4 hours. We were all hesitant about it. So, we go to tell my mom in a very mindful, respectful, "cautious of her feelings" type of manner, and she immediately gets very passive aggressive and cold, saying "its fine! We can just order pizza. Its fine!".

Then, my stepdad angrily said "NO. We are NOT ordering pizza". Obviously, we told them no, we didnt want to order pizza. We never said we wanted to order pizza or have any other food. We asked them if they felt okay to eat the food. She and my stepdad said they thought the food was okay to eat and that we were being paranoid and ridiculous.

We all understood that my mom put in time and effort to make the food. And we acknowledged that and understood that. We told her this. My mom then started angrily throwing out all of the food. Everything. We never told her to throw out the food. And then...this is when it all blew up.

My stepdad started SCREAMING at my sister and I. Here are some of the things he said: "I'm just going to step in now and say as the MAN of this house, you guys have ruined christmas." (this was all directed at my sister and I, the boyfriends were kind of stepping back from the situation, they didnt want to escalate things further).

He said "This is the most disgusting, terrible, disrespectful thing I have EVER seen in my entire life."

"You guys are so paranoid, googling things that aren't true, it's ridiculous". (He was talking about us googling what is safe to eat or not).

My sister and I stayed calm, responding maturely to de-escalate the situation. We were making faces like we were astounded at how he was speaking to us and he would say "look at the face you're making right now. Ugh!" But he was also making faces, scoffing at us when we would respond calmly. He didnt like that.

We have never been talked to like that in our lives. My sister and I calmly said "we are going to take a walk and cool down" . I don't think my step dad liked how calmly and maturely we were talking to him and handling things, it made him more angry.

Eventually, after minutes of being screamed at, my stepdad said "we think its best if you take your stuff and leave" . We apologized, saying we know how hard my mom worked and were so sorry the day ended this way. As we left, my stepdad screamed to my sister and I "you guys need to do a LOT of thinking. You need to know what is reality, and what is not reality. I know you have your issues that you need to resolve (talking about my sisters emetophobia and my anxiety issues). So, we left. What was supposed to be a wonderful Christmas day was left in screaming and tears.

It's been about 4 months since this happened. Since then, we've met up with both of them to talk it out. My stepdad gave us the typical narcissistic apology of "I'm sorry what I said made you feel that way". Typical. Things are a bit better with my mom, but we have yet to be invited back to their house.

Unfortunately, I think every get together now is going to be uncomfortable, especially since most of them involve eating food, and honestly I think what happened will forever change our dynamic. I'm hoping that time will heal our relationship with my mom and stepdad, but for now, nothing is the same.

I've been working a part time job as a cashier at an airport. Since working there, there have been many issues with the company, communication, and the customers.

To start, the customers are incredibly rude. I honestly should have expected this, seeing as its an airport and people are stressed, but I guess it didn't really cross my mind. I actually didnt even start as a cashier, I started as a stocker, but then switched to cashier after back issues.

I haven't worked a customer service job, especially as a cashier, so everything was new to me. Most of the customers are rude, blunt, pissy, and just awful.

The company itself is awful. They say they care about their employees and pretend to, but there is literal proof they dont care at all. They dont supply us with the supplies we need to do our jobs. Most days, they dont supply us with bags to give our customers. They dont supply us with utensils. So when a customer rings up a yogurt and a counter full of items, and I have to tell them "sorry, were all out of bags. We also dont have utensils for your yogurt", obviously the customers get pissed and take it out on the cashiers.

The communication is also awful. There are so many times when no one shows up at the end of my shift for the shift change. There are also times where I have to call the manager on duty to ask for my break.

Today was my breaking point. I actually put my two weeks in about a week ago, so I only had 6 more days left to work, but after the events of today, I just had enough.

They put my in a very busy store, all by myself (because lots of people called off). So I had to ring out stressed out customers, the line out the door. I had to tell customer after customer "Sorry no bags" "Sorry no utensils". This one customer bought a cactus, but we weren't supplied with the correct size boxes to put the cactus in, so I had to put his small cactus in much too big of a box.

The customers were rude and taking their stress out on me. I ended up crying in the middle of ringing up customers. It was terrible. So at the end of my shift, I handed in my badge and name tag and told them today was my last day.

I do have guilt because I have a complicated past work history, and a pattern of quitting jobs. A lot of it had to do with social anxiety reasons. This time it was for those other reasons. I just couldn't force myself to work for a company that is so awful, even if I only had 6 days left.

Do you guys think I made the right decision? Should I feel guilty?

Long story short, I know my boyfriend will be proposing on our upcoming trip and I'm pretty sure there will be a photographer there.

I know I shouldn't even care about it and just be in the moment, but I am nervous about being photographed. I am really awkward in front of a camera.

I also hate smiling with my teeth for posed pictures, and I feel like you kind of have to for those types of pictures.

I know I really shouldn't be worried about this but my anxiety is getting the best of me.

I just want to be in the moment and not even worry about the photographer but I'm already anxious over the thought of it! Any advice?

I'm a newbie and have never gotten my nails done at the salon. I want to get these nails. What exactly do I ask for/what color to pick out? Is this dip? My nails are super short but I definitely want to add length like the photo

I want to going to the salon and getting my nails done. Honestly, I haven't been to a nail salon in years and want to feel confident about knowing what to ask for. I want to get dip nails with tips....is this right?

Do you need to make an appointment or do you usually just walk in?
