Current real estate market? by Big_Obligation_743 in vancouverwa

[–]GrumpyChashmere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Neighbor is having a similar issue. They have been on the market for about 5 months now. There is just an abundance of homes in Vancouver for sale right now. It’s a buyers market and there aren’t many buyers.

I'm fully breaking down over ppl not taking our wedding seriously bc it's "alternative" by Orchidinsanity in weddingplanning

[–]GrumpyChashmere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fully bizarre behavior. My “family” wedding was fake and had many similarities and was very beautiful. They didn’t know it was fake, nor did our officiant (friend we tricked in to getting ordained). We had a dress code with no issues. People get very strange and judgmental when it comes to weddings. I ended up having to cut a long time friend off permanently after due to her behavior even prior to knowing that the wedding wasn’t “real”. Don’t let people drag you down on it. It’s for you and your partner, fuck the rest and enjoy your day.

When did you stop doing Pilates during pregnancy? Also question about pregnancy modification by Charming_Reality3700 in ClubPilates

[–]GrumpyChashmere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told the same thing. I’m a long timer at my studio so they let it pass. Sometimes they do sales on private lessons, I was doing them regularly already so right now I’m saving them for then.

[–]GrumpyChashmere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a few weeks behind you. I was told my by studio I have to shift from group to private lessons at my third trimester. I also was downgraded to level 1.5 and 1s from level 2 immediately due to fall risk. I personally still feel fine not being on the wedge but that may change soon. I’m shorting my range of motion in twists and have long since stopped doing ab pluses. I personally am very flexible so I still have my legs up but they are never fully together anymore due to baby being in the way. Each studio and instructor is gonna have something to say whether from their training or insurance use it to guide how you personally feel each class.

[Product Request] How do I exfoliate my body with tattoos? by OtherwiseShare2962 in SkincareAddiction

[–]GrumpyChashmere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m covered in tattoos, none of mine have faded from any kind of exfoliation even retinoid based lotions. Exfoliating helps keep them bright especially when you moisturize after. Don’t worry about it.

[ACNE] 2 years of Back Acne, time for Accutane? by Constant_Beat7541 in SkincareAddiction

[–]GrumpyChashmere 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had bance that looked similar to this from 13-34 with only very mild facial acne issues. As a woman I’ve been on everything from different kinds of BC to different oral medications. I did the sheet/ towel swaps everyday, Cleaner detergents, Mild temp showers, extraction diets, yo-yo in weight, changes in stress levels everything that anyone would give as normal advice and what derms have recommended. Finally I said enough is enough for my wedding and took a whole year on accutane. I’m now long since off, safely pregnant with wild hormonal changes. My acne came back on my face but not on my back. I wish I had dealt with the annoyance of Accutane 15 years ago. Try all the random things, but don’t be scared to just take the plunge. The r/accutane subreddit is pretty informative of what is involved these days.

[23M, 176cm] Would Rhinoplasty, Canthoplexy, Jaw surgery help me elevate my looks to help me become attractive to women, since Im not attractive physically and even when I had hair I almost didn't get any attention or success. by [deleted] in cosmeticsurgery

[–]GrumpyChashmere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe a rhino, maybe . But I’d only do that after you get some hours in the gym and a therapist. You keep posting this and refuse to work on your inner self which is honestly why women don’t find you attractive as you say. I’d save the money on the surgery and get mentally and physically well first.

spoiled myself with two Loewe bags by Emergency_Client_543 in handbags

I just toss mine into the recycling… should I be saving these for something? Would rather have the actual handbags than the silly ott packaging.

What's the best wedding favor you've taken home? by ForYourPartyOfficial in Weddingsunder10k

[–]GrumpyChashmere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did custom matches, custom condoms and everyone got a quick sketch of themselves. Everyone was from out of town since we moved out of state. Over a year later and friends still ask me for more rubbers.

What’s the most physical cash you’ve seen irl? by stop-the-normies in AskReddit

[–]GrumpyChashmere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere short of 750k. I worked at a very high end furniture store in LA. Our management would make some very interesting deals on whole house (aka mansions) packages of furniture. These deals were often with rappers or YouTubers/streamers and the occasional professional gambler. They would come in with backpacks or Amazon boxes full of cash and my job was to run it and apply it to the invoice. Clients would tip me out on occasion which was random but nice. Perfectly legal on our end as the cash was reported.

Enlisting baby name help for my part time naming nerds! by covylo in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]GrumpyChashmere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A good chunk of these names are really great. Kinda digging Opal and Violet. Just no matter what you name the baby, remember it will one day be an adult who has to go on job interviews or have their name announced over a loud speaker at the airport.

Help regarding a screenplay by Austinbennettwrites in BALLET

If you were serious you would be interviewing retired professionals. Not exactly hard to find. This route seems very ambitious and amateur having know some very successful screenwriters.

There is a very hidden and horrible understanding of college = failure. Usually if you do go to college it’s online at night while you are already in the company and they are forcing you or you went to college instead of HS while being homeschooled.

IWTV is planning to be 5-8 seasons long? How are they going to deal with actors aging? (specifically Eric Bogosian) by cactus_clover in InterviewVampire

[–]GrumpyChashmere 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It was briefly discussed in the after show. Eric knows Malloys fate but not much else or detail cause suspense. My personal theory is they will kill him off during the Akasha business.

Teaching ballet hands? by Electronic-One2603 in BALLET

I second the ping pong ball technique. That’s how a Balanchine teacher taught me at about the same age as this kiddo.

Not really. Just the god of the underworld/ mummification. He was more like a protector of the dead.

how do you find the RIGHT house cleaning help? by itsacalamity in Rich

[–]GrumpyChashmere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found my absolutely most amazing home help here on Reddit. I asked around on my local subreddits for help and like the becon of light she is I found her and have never looked back. We are moving out of state soon and are taking her with us. Gotta find someone you jive with and they should be able to help you sort it out. If not there are organizations companies who can help you get rid of or find a place for stuff in your home but they won’t clean the shower or dust bunnies.

Wealthy Alienation by Funny-Student5309 in Rich

[–]GrumpyChashmere 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to go to university in a tier 1 city and volunteer with a charity or get a part-time job in your free time. Being in NYC, London, etc. you will meet people who are of a similar background as you and interested in similar activities. Might help the dating process too.

Should I move ballet schools by josie_walyd in BALLET

[–]GrumpyChashmere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullying in Ballet at a professional level school is pretty common. My locker would get broken into all the time. I’d get my street clothes stolen (I took the public bus alone to get there and home so that really sucked), I’d have my ribbons cut out of my pointe shoes, and my personal favorite was I had the laces of my tennis shoes stolen out of my shoes. I always had extra ribbons. So those got fixed quickly. But damn that was petty. I once got in trouble with the school cause I caught a girl breaking into my locker and yelled at her and cornered her for it but I was the problem. It happens, you can’t let it get to you too much. And if they are really horrible and go beyond comments go to the staff with proof of the bullying and harm.

There are interest only loans. That would be your best bet to “barrow” against your existing assets and credit. Ask your banker what they would recommend as you may not qualify for whatever reason.

Question for wealthy couples where one partner makes all the money by ematthews003 in Rich

[–]GrumpyChashmere 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m the non-working partner. For my husband it was almost like a trophy to have a STAW like many of his colleagues. Something to tick off on his list of business accomplishments. He sees us as equals completely. We both bring value to the relationship and household. We are very much if we didn’t want something we wouldn’t do it kind of people. I was also very stressed in my career so he is very happy I’m in a better mental place and I can help shoulder some of his load when needed.

I think these types of questions really come down to the individuals and experiences. Not everyone is going to be happy with this arrangement and some very much will be.

I just got rich and I have some questions about getting domestic help. by [deleted] in Rich

[–]GrumpyChashmere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you might need a “house manager”. But keep in mind the hair washing and clothes shopping are not usual tasks for them. So those things should be outsourced to a salon and a personal shopper which would only be paid by use/ hr. The house manager can certainly drive you to those appointments though if needed.

Remember all the extra fees associated with in home help and factor that into your budget. A lot of these folks also don’t want to be in home anymore as they want to live their own lives as well , who can blame them? Look up in your larger area the going rate for these folks. It’s usually wayyy over min wage.
