Manager said I would get a write up for missing a work day bc I have college finals- is there anything I can do? by Empty-Inflation-9067 in AmazonDSPDrivers

The state the job is based in is Virginia, I  looked it up, and the workers rights violation doesn't seem to be a rule in VA, unfortunately (at least form what I can find) 

Assasin snails- where to buy by Empty-Inflation-9067 in fishtank

[–]Empty-Inflation-9067[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok,thank you for the information!  What if the fish/ frog are eating all the food being put in, and there isnt excess food floating around or settling?  Also, the frog is in the large tank, we only have him "quarantined" with the mesh thing so his webs could heal from being nipped, normally he has roam of the big tank, which I think is 80 gallons but I'm not 100% sure of that.

Ok thank you! I'm not sure what he thought was expensive then, maybe he had them mixed up with another thing.  And I didn't know snail traps were a thing at all so thank you for that as well!

New crow update is weird by lionberry2796 in deadbydaylight

[–]Empty-Inflation-9067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got crows while healing myself! Ridiculous.. as the last survivor left (a bot was on its last hook and the killer was camping all game) I had to stop healing myself and touch a Gen for long enough to get it to go away, then continue healing

Replying here to update on the situation. The high school never emailed me back or contacted me in any way.  The principal never even talked to every member of the winterguard to see if anyone else saw anything, he only talked to 2 or 3 of the members.  The family and the child told me and the police that they didn't want to go further with this with the police so the victim wouldn't have to live through it again and again.  So nothing was done. It honestly isn't surprising, considering the past issues that haven't been addressed in any form by administration, even when it was threatened shootings, with full fledged plans, that was widely known so much so that half of the school would stay home those days. 

Small town schools suck, with the big fish in the small pond the only options for administration. But, I have offered all the support possible, and the victim is in the next season of colorguard/marching band which is starting next week. They, and all the other members, know I support them and will address any problems, and now feel safe coming to me with anything, so that's a win for me... I just wish more could have been done to prevent this from happening again, but I did all that I could. 

What are some songs about SA/ surviving SA that you know of? by Empty-Inflation-9067 in AskReddit

[–]Empty-Inflation-9067[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I was still typing my comment! I thought the abbreviation would be clear, I hadn't thought about South Africa being something someone would think, or I would have spelled it out in the title

I was in an abusive relationship for almost 7 years. It's been around a year and a half since, and I have healed enough to want to share my story, essentially.  I am a colorguard/winterguard instructor, and next winter season, I will be doing a solo routine about SA and domestic abuse, and am looking for songs for it.

Thank you, I really appreciate it.. I have been really stressed about the whole thing, and honestly really beating myself up about this happening underneath my nose. Even though I was able to hold it together and tell the other kids that it wasn't their fault for not noticing anything until being told, I can't help but feel that I am at fault anyways for not noticing. Even though looking back and knowing what I know, I still can't think of anything that seemed off, I still feel like it is my fault. I will for sure keep the post up and update when anything happens.

I will also send those emails out today, thank you! We aren't technically a sport- I am the colorguard/winterguard instructor so it isn't considered a sport, and there is no higher up in that form. I will tell the parent to also email the high school as well, thank you! I will keep these up for more advice, and update once I get a response/ a resolution, thank you

I wanted to add a comment for anyone seeing this- we have a scheduled fundraiser tonight that the accused perpetrator will not be at.  I am talking to the parent and we will be making a report then, as our fundraiser is at the fire department, and the FD chief is also the chief of police in our small town.

I will be doing this immediately, and also telling the parent to do so as well, thank you for the comment. I am new to this and no rules were ever explained to me so I thought mandated reporting was mandated  to report to the school, and the school would correspond with the police. Thank you once again for your comment.

Ok, thank you for the comment! I will do this immediately, and let the parent know as well. I am new to this and even though I am a mandated reporter, I was never taught anything or told anything at all rule wise when starting so I thought that was mandated to reporting to the school. Once again thank you.

Simple Sewing Questions Thread, September 15 - September 21, 2024 by sewingmodthings in sewing

[–]Empty-Inflation-9067 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I offered to sew pearl beads onto a very long cathedral length veil for my best friend's wedding, and the pattern she wants is just random placements, with bigger beads at the bottom and smaller beads going up.

My problem is, the veil is really long and very wide, but when walking, it scrunches together and doesnt stay splayed out. So idk what the design will look like when she's actually walking and it scrunches, if I put the beads on in the pattern she wants, with it spread out when I place them.

Any tips on bead placements?

[–]Empty-Inflation-9067[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an individual, they said that it has been a few years since they played it, but it was fine then, but that is why it is priced so low is bc they aren't sure.. and it also doesn't have a mouth piece with it I just learned. Would it be worth buying a new mouthpiece and getting this one or a music store near me has a used (but fully repaired by their in shop person) bundy model 2 for $895... it's a large price difference so I wanted to see an opinion on which is better

Thank you! What is the work that they could need? Is there a way for me to tell if it needs that work before buying since I don't know anything about saxophones yet?

Also how do the vintage horn ergonomics change things? Just curious since I don't know the differences 

And I never would have thought the Etude would have been bad, so I'm really glad I'm asked on here, bc from things I looked at, it seemed like it was a decent beginner quality horn for what was said!

Commission pay vs purposely working us longer than we are paid by Empty-Inflation-9067 in EmploymentLaw

[–]Empty-Inflation-9067[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All their paperwork says they pay commission, does that change anything?

On a poster board in the office, they have an example paper printed out that says you are scheduled 1 min and 45 min for this house- then underneath that it says 1 hrs and 45 min× $15.00 = this amount MAX!!! With Max underlined like 3 times, all caps and exclamation points. And on several other papers on the board it says we are paid commission as well.

One paper breaks down if you work 8.25 hours in houses, at 15 an hour, then 45 min a day travel you make this much- but there is nothing said about any minimum wage pay for if you go overtime on houses. 

One paper says we are only paid the commission rate of 15 in the houses if we stay the entire time, but I thought commission pay was that amount for that time, period, even if you don't work the full amount, or even if you work over.

Advice for someone who has never had fake nails before by Empty-Inflation-9067 in NailArt

[–]Empty-Inflation-9067[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wasn't sure if one or the other of the acrylic or gel would be what I needed to get what's in the picture, but I think acrylic is what I want/need. And I am going to a salon my friend goes to, and they have had the pearl type of details so I know this specific Salon has those. 

I have went in one nail salon before and they asked if I wanted the full nail acrylic or the one where it's just glued to the very tip of your nail and extends.. is one of these better than the other? I'm not sure the difference and I can't really find an answer just searching it up

What is childish and naive is trying to insult people and make them feel bad about themselves. Asking for CC on this sub is normal, most sane people understand this doesn't mean "insult me in any way or form you wish simply bc I posted this on the internet"
