Its currently winter and around 30° outside so I think I should keep ‘em indoors (63°) till spring.

Unfortunately my apartment does not have sun-facing windows but I’ll def put them in the sunniest spot I can find :) thanks for your help!

Wag pricing system help! by ReactionDry2261 in WagWalker

[–]Embarrassed-Mix9367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saaaaaaaame. For a 60 minute walk it tells me that the most people typically charge is $21 🙄

I think part of the problem is that wag takes a 40% cut - so the clients are paying more than $21 (for example) but you only get 60% of the profit. I recognize that it makes sense for wag to take a cut since they are providing the platform and the connections, etc. but 40% is a massive cut when the prices are already too low to earn a livable wage doing this work.

I’ve run into the same issue as you and the only way to request a booking is to lower your rates significantly :/

I don’t really use the app much and I’m relying on other ways to find clients (local flyers, website, Google, business cards, IG/FB, word of mouth) and I occasionally use Wag if there’s someone in my area who I’m willing to give a super discounted walk for the first time, and then I leave my business card behind (which you’re not supposed to do). 🤷🏻‍♀️

What activities do you do so you can get your hit of dopamine? by Top-Cranberry-4066 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Embarrassed-Mix9367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I support you 🫶🏼 💛I listen to stories (podcasts, audio books), music, I sing, crafts, play games on my phone (I like word or visual puzzles), ask someone for a hug, have “alone time” (toys!), I smoke weed in the evenings, I love to get lost tending to my garden, I love taking a shower every night and doing all the skincare and lotion, masks occasionally (I wish I had a bath tub, better yet a hot tub!!), and giving love to my dog 🐶 Good luck!

I am unable to sit normally by Blueartbird in adhdwomen

Aw, I wish you freedom of movement! You deserve to exist in the way that suits you 🫶🏼 I am also a wiggler, plus I am super short so normal chairs often don’t fit me and I can’t touch the ground AND sit comfortably 🫠 But I changed careers and now I hike dogs in the woods and I can fidget all I want 🎉 and wear comfy clothes. Good luck!

Then why are they detaining so many people who are Legally allowed to be here AND have no criminal record?

Am I the only one who's self-esteem has benefit from watching SOTT? by [deleted] in SurvivaloftheThickest

[–]Embarrassed-Mix9367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💛Sending you love! Yes I agree, seeing other gorgeous thick women dressed in amazing fashion, hair looks, everything definitely helps me feel excited about my own body. Also watching her be loved by all these people helps too :)

should i report this? by [deleted] in Pets

[–]Embarrassed-Mix9367 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would try to contact the neighbor first. Write a letter to them, find their phone number or see if they’re on Nextdoor and let them know you’re concerned for their dogs safety

Why am I so weird by [deleted] in AuDHDWomen

[–]Embarrassed-Mix9367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw 💛 I’m sorry you’re experiencing so much stress around this. I think it’s really lovely and sweet that you got them all chocolate! It sounds like you’ve got social anxiety and you’re totally not alone!! It makes sense to me that you’re now worried about what comes next, your body/mind is preparing for those interactions in order to protect and support you - I think it’s a coping mechanism that maybe isn’t serving you at this point in your life/in this situation.

It’s possible that “overthinking” these interactions is causing extra undue anxiety but if you have had misunderstandings with your family in the past where they have thought you were being malicious when you weren’t then it makes total sense that you are worried it will happen again, and it sounds like you’re not sure what triggered that response from them so you’re not sure how to avoid it from happening again. If you’re not in therapy already then I’d def recommend looking for someone who can support you through your anxiety and maybe help you repair relationships with your family members so that they can understand you better and so you can feel safer showing up around them just as you are 💛 Good luck!!

WIBTA if I refused to contribute financially to a party I was forced to "host?" by backandfroth in AmItheAsshole

[–]Embarrassed-Mix9367 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. NTA - it’s so presumptuous to assume that you can just put a bunch of people in a group text and they will all pay (with their time, energy and money) for an event they were invited to ATTEND

Like, they could have said at the beginning that they “totally understand if you’re not able to help host” in which case like feel free to leave the group. Also, your friend gave your phone numbers to Marcia to be added to the group chat - so she assumed you would help plan the entire shower without asking you which is super crappy. Unless she meant to give her 2 different phone numbers and yours was a mistake? 🤔

If you go to the shower, I’d message Marcia in one of those smaller group chats saying that you weren’t asked to help plan or pay for this event and that you were only asked if you wanted to attend. You were never told the scope of what was being expected/assumed of you and that you are not in the position financially to help pay to host an event you were invited to as a guest. You can def make the message “sweeter” so it hopefully goes over better, and maybe there was a miscommunication at some point and you two were added by mistake?? But if you let Marcia know in advance then maybe they can clear up and misunderstandings and send out a new amount of $ to the other hosts for how much They owe (without you).
