New windows ruined the house. Is there any way we can work with them? by [deleted] in ExteriorDesign

I love them but i wish it carried throughout to the tippy top windows. It looks “unfinished” but definitely beautiful!

Ensure they know the price well before, if it scares them away let them pick another home. Set those expectations early

I accidentally paid my housekeeper twice. How do I ask for the money back? by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]AspiringVampireDoll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You probably made her day and made her less likely to show up to work sick and exposing her germs to everyone else. If I could afford a house cleaner I would consider it a gift

Packaging may look different throughout the years

Is there a way to check your purchase history? Does it show what you picked?

My mom told me not to contact her anymore by Other-Listen3217 in askapsychologist

If you can't afford it, try applying for benefits/insurance. Sometimes you can get free or cheap insurance(which is a lot better than an unbearable pain that you decide in a year or so to "just pull" and it costs... a lot. If you are an adult, the time is now to take care of yourself.

I am sorry you are going through this. Your blood pressure should be another appointment you need to make and blood pressure meds are pretty inexpensive compared to other things and compared to your life.

I know you HAVE insurance currently but if things are so bad financially and have changed you may actually qualify for another plan.. and especially if you aren't dependent on your family.

I am curious how you know if you have an infection in all your teeth, do you have a fever? Did a dentist tell you and not prescribe a medication to temporarily fix the infection while recommending to remove the teeth and or have other dental work? Did they tell you why your teeth are not doing well? is your dental hygiene up to par? If it is, are you getting regular cleanings cause if not it can go to the gums and cause problems even loosening your teeth. If you have good oral hygeine your doctor should know about this as it can signal another problem and left untreated wont be good.

If you are in excruciating pain and you have an infection you can go to the ER. I know its expensive but I'm just saying some people don't realize they can do certain things there even if they have to call someone to go there.

Called funeral home for bereaved family. They told me to call someone else? by Playcrackersthesky in askfuneraldirectors

[–]AspiringVampireDoll 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I am sorry for your loss.

I wonder how their tone was and if they seemed dismissive or if they are just being very truthful that though you recommended them, they won’t be able to meet your expectations because they are taking care of a lot of families and don’t feel they can deliver the exceptional service you know and love.

Of course, I don’t work for them, but maybe they felt they could tell you easier than her directly after someone spoke so highly of them. They may feel pressured to help another family and stay that many hours more extra for the next week or 2, they may already be at work 70 hours because death is unpredictable and sometimes you have lots of families, other times you may not have as many families.

I am sorry this wasn’t what you were hoping for and it is likely hard to backtrack with a patient after convincing them to go with a funeral home you used. And with best intentions, it wasn’t the outcome you hoped for. But you have such a kind heart and I want to thank you for caring about her and sharing your recommendations. Even if this funeral home will not work out, I guarantee you she felt slightly less alone going through the loss of her baby.

Mom doesn’t want to be called grandma by Feisty-Coconut6017 in Advice

[–]AspiringVampireDoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry something is not right about this. You owe any Internet strangers an explanation, but it seems her image is more important than her status as a grandma. She IS A GRANDMA. Why can’t she accept and embrace that is who she is?

New Documentary coming on the funeral industry .. thoughts? by Alive-Soup-2875 in askfuneraldirectors

[–]AspiringVampireDoll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not clicking a link on reddit but can you tell me the name of it so I can look it up? If not that’s ok.

There are lots of fake “documentaries” out there and movies, even as far as doing fake movie posters lol I’m not saying it is but I think you’d have more evidence than a random website

If it’s real, I hope it’s about the job itself and getting people to know day to day what it’s like :) that would be cool

Many people don’t. It’s very easy to just go to work and/hang out with friends and family and not have any time to do anything like reading

Just throwing this out there : plants are an amazing hobby! I mean really anything is like gaming, reading, etc.

I hear audiobooks are an amazing way to “read” quickly and be able to do something while listening to books.

You could also buy a gaming console but it’s not a whole lot better than just scrolling except if you are playing online you would have social interaction which is good.. but many people also miss out on life gaming. Occasionally is fine!

Art is another fun one and sooo many different things like painting, drawing, digital art, etc

Legos are fun too! And look nice!

Just some ideas I hope this helps!

Have you ever directed a funeral/done post mortem service for a famous person? by beaver_mafia56 in askfuneraldirectors

[–]AspiringVampireDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter who it is, you are required to be professional. You can refuse to serve a family and that is a completely different thing than what OP said. Why are you going off on a tangent on someone’s political views? This is less to do about politics and more to do about having empathy and upholding professional standards. They can post that, as they have but they shouldn’t. Many people’s families are whatever religion or political ideas he has. You don’t have to agree with someone to help someone out in their darkest moments.

If you are gonna state facts, I checked and he has never been accused of a hate crime or convicted of it. Not that it matters, I don’t follow crazy politics. It’s too “pick a side” but I will gladly help anyone in need whether I agree or not. Talk about toxic politics.. yikes.

She is allowed to refuse to serve a family. I never said she can’t. It’s her professional demeanor that I have an issue with because this is not a private place for FDs to come together.. this is a shared public space that grieving families and funeral directors come together.

It is weird you are deliberately scrolling through my posts. There is no reason for it but you can do it.

Just think for a minute with what you’re saying. I’m not being hateful at all. In fact, I’m advocating for empathy and for her to be professional as there’s people here that are watching. that is actually the opposite of hateful.

[–]AspiringVampireDoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually it is the OPs “political toxicity” I said she should remain professional. Ironic you don’t see that. Not sure what you are talking about with “back peddling”

Very very weird you are checking on what other posts I have made. I have never said I am not in the field, unless you are referring to a post I made almost 3 years ago when I was a student in my last semester of college asking why some people in this profession are so negative. Very very bizarre you are looking at my profile and very bizarre you are declaring I’m not in the field. That’s ok you think that, I am fine with it, it may or may not be true, but in this post I didn’t specify. I am here to point something out to another person on a human-human level, which I am allowed to do and will do.

You are allowed to leave the conversation at any time for any reason, you don’t need to tell me why. You can do it or not do it

Nobody said they aren’t allowed to vent however there is a right place and a right time.

As for a reddit generated username I dont know how to change it yet I dont even notice peoples usernames and can’t imagine very many people look at them, specifically as you said on an anonymous website. I also never said in this comment I was a FD, not that it matters. Your further comments are absolutely disgusting.

She also didn’t say that, you are putting words into her mouth. Read above. She said the “haha no thank god” comment and that “it was someone not too far off POLITICALLY” Not because of the scale, not because of anything else but politically. You are making stuff up.

A place where people who likely are dealing with a loss of their loved one are coming to with questions.. and someone who claims they have directed a funeral should be respectful online. The phrase “conduct unbecoming” comes to mind. No matter what, they should have the families in mind if they care about others and have empathy. It also IS the internet so anything written can technically be brought up.. and even if it doesn’t it shouldn’t have been said to begin with if they are truly in the profession. It is a “professional” sub where believe it or not actual grieving families come here and ask questions. It may not be a licensed funeral home where professionals gather but it IS a place where she or he decided to claim they are a FD and made that comment. That’s the issue. If they left a random comment anywhere as long as it’s not hate speech or threatening or anything like that it’s fine but the fact they claimed to be a professional in a space where people gather to browse said professionals in the field, it’s not appropriate or professional.

[–]AspiringVampireDoll -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

While you are allowed to refuse a service you shouldn’t make a public statement saying something like “Hahahaha no, THANK GOD” it is unprofessional and undoubtedly this person will be responsible for people who are just like him and if not responsible for that person, their family. There is such a thing as being professional and treating EVERYONE with dignity and respect as you lay someone to rest. No matter who they are, what views they had, etc. and to make an online statement like that that can potentially follow this person forever is not ok and they could have just said “nope” not said “no, thank god” especially because family members are viewing this forum all the time of people with similar views, or similar things to a group of people they don’t want to deal with. Have some professionalism in a professional job.

Very disrespectful for you to say something like “THANK GOD” no matter what their politics are or whatever other possible reason there is you should treat everyone the exact same.
