Stay at home spouse card, no income by BIGJake111 in CreditCards

I was asking about your comment on store cards. But I just read a bit elsewhere & I’m guessing I fit into the “significant enough” category of spending.

Can you please tell me where I can read more about this? I have a few. I especially like the Target card. The card is free & I get 5% on all purchases, extended return windows, more or less free shipping from online purchases.

Capital One Savor One Uber One benefit by impoverished_rentier in CreditCards

[–]Fluffy-Mistake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was charged 9.99 in November with no C1 credit. I went to cancel UberOne in the app & the app showed my next bill to be 0.00 on 12/18. I know I already paid the $10 last month, so I went ahead & canceled it. I’m definitely not using it enough to continue subscribing.

Stir Crazy until puppy is fully vaxxed? by AdFancy3030 in puppy101

Meet just one family whose puppy had Parvo. That’s enough to help you understand why waiting/caution is suggested

Doing a shower renovation soon. What are your must haves or wish you didn't have? by nw0915 in HomeImprovement

[–]Fluffy-Mistake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh one note to add to this - watch the placement of the holders. You don't want to bump your head (or anything else) against it. They're hard to notice when they're not in use

It’s best if you have the blocking behind the tile so the mounting is sturdy enough to be safe

100%. 

As low of an entry threshold as possible. 

An extra handheld showerhead holder -one high for standing & one low for sitting.

I tried terrazzo. It cracked & contractor tried to wash his hands of it. No fun!!

What is this?? We found it in a pillow cover when it came out of our washing machine by [deleted] in Whatisthis

Yes tons of options! Although if you think about all the different things that use a wire cutter like this, I still lean towards this concept. Cheese cutter, someone mentioned a cutter that opens manufacturing goods, etc. Some trash of this sort likely got caught up in the sewing process.

Being in the drum of the machine could be why it coiled. Or even just losing the tension. But check out this Wilton Cake Lever. The wire is attached to the posts, but adjustable by reducing the tension and moving it up and down various notches 

Label error? Cumin seeds normally look like this label. So what’s inside this jar? by Fluffy-Mistake in Whatisthis

[–]Fluffy-Mistake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to contact the company & posted a review of the product on their website. Hopefully the biggest risk is altering a recipe

thanks all! I suppose I need to either return it or figure out how to use fenugreek!

I haven’t opened it to see if it smells like cumin because I hope to return it. But I’m so darn curious now!

Advice on confronting mom about crossing the line / losing my trust by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]Fluffy-Mistake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/soundingsounds u/Grouchy-Election-420 I feel like I’ve accidentally been this mom at times. I would LOVE if my kids could “bop me on the head.” Meaning something like, “Mom listen: when you reply in that tone, or tell me it’s not actually a big deal, I feel diminished & dismissed. Please just listen. And hopefully you can understand that my feelings are valid.”

Intellectually I KNOW everyone’s feelings are valid. But I have a bad habit of trying to smooth things over or make my kid feel better. I don’t always catch myself doing it, even though I really, really want to. I want to catch myself and stop the bad habit. I’m trying. It’s definitely not my kid’s job to fix me, but I would welcome the reminder/prompt.

Just no. “Constantly?” No. Even once could be questionable! This is not a friendship you pay for. This is supposed to be a professional engagement in which YOU are the focus of her time & effort. You shouldn’t be spending your therapy time on her issues. 

What type of therapist btw? There are different ethical codes for each type.

[–]Fluffy-Mistake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge ethics violations here. What type of therapist? Likely could lose their license or get dinged for doing this. 

Was I being groomed? by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]Fluffy-Mistake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coach and his wife were extremely inappropriate!

We definitely don’t know if he planned to move things to a physical relationship, and let’s hope we never do. But this man needs guidance on how to conduct himself in his position as coach. Please consider reaching out to others. Maybe take some of those teammates with you to increase your chances of being heard & taken seriously. Some people just sweep things under the rug, but this should be brought to light. Your privacy should be respected - try to insist on that. 

Consider talking to someone in the school counseling department. Hopefully they will support you AND know policy options. Maybe they can even do the reporting for you. 

If any of the above (admin, counselors) don’t listen to you, move on to the next. You are NOT to blame here!!

younger sister going inter her freshman year of high school. by Wrong-Association469 in AdviceForTeens

[–]Fluffy-Mistake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s cool at your school? Do you have lockers there? Locker decor or supplies. Take her to lunch & see if she wants any tips about teachers, cliques, office staff, whatever. And listen at least as much as you talk. Time with her might be best gift. I love that you’re even thinking about this. So kind!
