This is also a prime example of why I have another place I go to when I need recommendations. Now I want to know where you go for recommendations. It’s a NY-related group. You know NY brings the bougie. |

I think the Vegas one was different because she did specifically ask is this an ok place for kids, should we go here? It would have been different if she said "my husband has a conference here so we're already booked". That's when you shouldn't say no it sucks!

Obligatory, you ask for opinions on the internet and you open yourself up to an array of different people. And if your advice didn’t help OP, it could possibly help someone else who’s reading the thread.

It goes both ways though. Like when I posted my handbag thread, I think my budget was $300-$600 or something and people were posting less than $100 bags. I’m like, “That is not what I requested”. Although... I did get a Madewell after my TB so, thank you. But still!! when I see that you have between 300-600 spend I take that to mean the max you will spend. I don’t take it to mean you can’t recommend things under that range. |

If a tea makes your tummy flat it's because it makes you shit out everything you've ever eaten in the last 6 months.

Ok but if I ask for an opinion or advice why answer if you aren't going to answer what the OP asked for? If the others needed advice they have just as much access to making a thread |

Idk, I forget which one people are always saying to me. |

It’s usually just a price difference. |

It turns into board clutter and that's not the kind of HIH I want to live in. Keep the front page tidy! Remember last year when there was a new thread everyday about everyone's SS sleep training journey? Because I do and it was terrible. |

I really liked the help I got for my trip. I used a lot of the suggestions.
I did an AirBNB in Paris and would not do again. It was nice but I'm with Cher. Housekeeping is a must.

Remember last year when there was a new thread everyday about everyone's SS sleep training journey? Because I do and it was terrible. I don't think that would actually happen, but ok I can see it. That being said if I go out of my way to make a recommendation thread it is because I am actually purchasing said thing and like I said for me my budget is firm so it can be annoying is all. We still have a daily randoms thread for people to ask things |

Should I start charging when I get obsessed with a product and won’t shut up about it? You aren't already? AE should really put you on retainer for all the marketing you do for them. There’s a handful of us who are ride or die with AE. So I want my check too. |

And just to be very clear, because I forgot how y’all are. I am not bothered by this, by any means. Simply put, I question a posters intentions when they post things that have 0 relevance to the conversation. An Audi is not relevant to a conversation about $35k-$40k SUVs with captain seats, period.
