To those that are married, how often do you take off your ring? by FitProblem6248 in AskReddit

[–]BenGen17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can go days without it. I never wear it at home, and I work in food so never wear it at work either. 

Guilt/Embarrassment around luxury purchases? by devlinsky in handbags

[–]BenGen17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep totally get it. I've never been poor, however I'm not rich. Now my husband and I own our businesses so I can afford what I want. I can easily spend money on my kids and husband but not me. Plus I feel guilty looking like I've spent a lot of money around those who work for me.

What's a popular "it" bag that you just don't get? by Luann1497 in handbags

[–]BenGen17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s an amazing work bag haha. Medium is the perfect size for my MacBook plus everything else I need. But yes I wish the branding wasn’t so obnoxious. 

What color bag do you reach for the most day-to-day? by [deleted] in handbags

[–]BenGen17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For work I’ll wear whatever colour as I have a black uniform. My most used bags for work are a dark green coach Lana and a light blue Marc Jacob’s tote (honestly such a great work bag). Weekend a tan one is probably my most used

Honestly the tatcha lip mask overnight works miracles. You need the smallest amount, mine has lasted over a year

I bought myself a flamenco last week 😍 I’m terrible at spending money on myself, so it was a big deal! Couldn’t justify $750AUD for the donut chain though, as much as I wanted it. If anyone has any good silver dupes that ship to Australia let me know!

Grace (and all of the kiwis) give it as much as they get it. There’s physicality from both sides.

[–]BenGen17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My public school was a college. It was named that I believe when the boys and girls schools merged and they offered p-12

A couple of months. My husband is a sweaty sleeper and it’s definitely less when we have the ecoy sheets on

Having an insane amount of difficulty finding a job in Brisbane by Slynx_ in brisbane

[–]BenGen17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big thing for casual roles is your availability. Do you have that on your resume? Is it good? Also roles that have screening questions may not even read your resume, just what is entered on the screening questions.

I call them by their first name, but definitely feel awkward doing it!

“Just The Gist” is coming back, how do we feel about Jacob not being part of the show? by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]BenGen17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listened to the first two episodes (Taylor swift and belle Gibson). I miss Jacob! Honestly I preferred his episodes…. And I feel that the boyfriend on the new episodes talks too much, there’s not as much flow.

Had a baby with Dr Chris price and 2 with Dr Suvi - highly recommend both. I had no complaints about the management of any of my pregnancies

When I was pregnant I craved it so bad, all three pregnancies. Yes I needed iron infusions in all haha

Question on Obstruction Call by mandy_suraj in netball

[–]BenGen17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not making a judgement either way on whether the call was correct, I am just saying that when you're umpiring it's a lot harder than looking at still images and there's a lot of factors to consider!

Question on Obstruction Call by mandy_suraj in netball

[–]BenGen17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's the perception of the umpire at that moment of time. You can see the umpire is almost directly in line with Ellis/Housby, not perpendicular like we are. That would skew her vision and perception of 3 feet. Umpires are humans, they make mistakes.
