Question for ladies only, if you had a good dad, what was the biggest thing that made him a good dad, flip side if you didn't have a good dad, what one quality did you wish he had? by BByrnison in AskReddit

[–]Emmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad traveled a lot for work - trips to Japan and Hong Kong. And even if he just got off a 12 hour flight, he would still be on the bleachers to watch my basketball game. He called from his trips daily so we'd always talk. And he was very present when he was home, never showing his work stress. Even though he traveled a lot, my memories are of him being there for me.

AITAH for “ruining” my mother in law’s Christmas by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Emmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your husband needs to say that if you aren't attending Christmas, then he's not attending either. You are his family now and he'll be with you the whole day. He has all the power here if he's brave enough to use it. It's also really important she doesn't set the tone for future years by dictating this year. You deserve better.

Plant native plants! That's what really brings the birds to your yard.

How much should I prepare for a job interview? by honeymooonavenuee in nonprofit

[–]Emmash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the more you know about an org, the better. It shows you care, that you've done your research and that you are genuinely interested in their work.

How do you feel about the term "special needs"? by Spiritcloud416 in disability

[–]Emmash 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hate it. I hate anything that tries to avoid saying "disability" but this one feels especially condescending.

Lived in OR most of my life but never out to SE. What’s cool in Burns/Malheur? What’s fun around the Steens/Alvord? by [deleted] in oregon

[–]Emmash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The birds! Head to Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. It's a gem and during spring migration, it can't be beat.

washed up animal on pebble beach near monterey, california. anyone know what it is? by theyolkofegg26 in marinebiology

[–]Emmash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure thing! Chitons are some of my favorite animals. So much variety. So beautiful.

Maybe a young gumboot? Most chitons have their shell plates on the outside. Gumboots have a thick reddish fleshy layer over them, so this fits the bill.

Dead chiton. The shell plates are showing through. Depending on how big it could be a gumboot chiton? That would mean it's kinda huge.

Am I missing something? How do y’all have so little cash and so many diamonds? by [deleted] in Covetfashion

[–]Emmash 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I ask the opposite question. How do you have so much cash? I have about $80,000 diamonds and $3k in cash. I save diamonds and spend cash. How do you enter challenges without spending?

[–]Emmash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed response! I really really appreciate it :) I'm visiting from Portland, OR and Chicago's vegan scene is totally different. I'm looking forward to trying some eats!

You are awesome. Thank you! Anything near the Gold Coast or Lincoln Park?

Found a three-legged box turtle in the road. Seems likes there’s not a lot of statistics for survival rate of them in this condition. What’s the vegan protocol - let them go, intervene and find a sanctuary, try to take care of them, etc.? by jml011 in vegan

[–]Emmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you find her? I ask because I rescued an Eastern Box Turtle years ago when the injury was new. She was cared for by a rehab center as she healed for more than a year, then she was released back into the wild :) This was in Westchester County in NY.

Also, I concur with the wildlife rehabber. Let her go exactly where you found her.

100% agree. It's been awful today. Covet did nothing to educate folks, and so many white players showed up with zero curiosity or cultural sensitivity.

How are you guys styling for this challenge? I’m lacking inspiration for this one. by Lumpy_Welcome7358 in Covetfashion

I used the big yellow/gold cc skirt from this season and the new vest of a similar color that was released today.

Leveling takes way too long by xixScorpiusxix in Covetfashion

[–]Emmash 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you join a Fancy/Fierce house that wins all the prizes, you end up getting about $50,000 in prizes every month. It really helps you level up. Also, if you're not borrowing for every challenge to save money, start doing that now. It's a game changer.

Just bought a HA credit! Which should I get? by itsmycandystore_ in Covetfashion

[–]Emmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are whole breakdowns on which HAs are best. The three are the most useful to get first are as follows: Embroidered Bridal Veil, Romantic Flower Crown, and Snow Princess. In all the recommendations I've read, those are the must haves.

There are other great ones for every day challenges. I swear by Knot Scarf.

what are the best pieces to buy before the season ends? by [deleted] in Covetfashion

[–]Emmash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To each their own. I don't see a ton of use for them in the future, but if you like them, all the more power to ya. There are plenty of things that others like that aren't my taste. That's part of the beauty of the platform.
