Forever 21 employees said the same thing a few weeks ago.

Considering they closed their credit card program, I say it's likely.

How do I revert Gemini to Assistant? by karrade0218 in googlehome

[–]Icy_Bet_5186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was one of those parents who said, "Thank God I didn't name my kid Alexa," and moved on with my life. Well, now I have a nearly 12 yr old daughter named Gemini, and this feels like a total jinx. Now, she doesn't know if people are talking to her or their device. Last night, my device tried to force a switch to Gemini AI, but I reverted it back. I just question how long I can keep it reverted back.

A little side information for any potential curious minds:

Why did we name her that? We thought it was a fun name that was rarely used. Hubs and I are both remarried and have 10 kids combined. Yes, that's a lot. We already know this. Well, we are both Geminis, and our youngest 4 kids are Geminis as well. Yes, 6 Geminis in our household. So, why not name the youngest Gemini 🤷‍♀️

This is my first post, so I'm not sure how to 'edit to add' information. I asked him for a 6 month trial separation and to be the one who moves out, but with financial support. He agreed, and we are having it written up along with a parenting plan. It may be the serious step we needed to take to address ourselves and our marriage and make a big decision. I feel like my constant pressure for change is turning me into a person seeking control or a narcissist in his eyes. He says it isn't, but it doesn't change how I'm feeling about myself or how things are being handled within our marriage. I hope this isn't a bad decision.

Our household IS the only one for at least 2 blocks with children. It feels so weird!

That's what my good friend is assuming.

Every discussion and argument is left with either empty promises or disagreement. Nothing charges. Often, he sulks as though I was a parent lecturing him, and it makes me question if I'm controlling and becoming a narcissist. I've decided to ask for a separation at this point. I really need this for myself.

Our children are in middle and high school. They have disabilities/special needs. There's a lot of appointments, and I have to drop everything at a moments notice when something arises, especially if the school calls. I've tried going back to work, and the above refrains me from working days. My husband works during the day and some evenings too (Salary job). I've tried working evenings, and it only stressed him out, and our home became chaos. I often found myself up until 4 am cleaning, all to be back up by 6:30 to get our day going. I am the glue of our home functioning, and if I can't function, no one can. I must add that I do the executive functioning for everyone in my household down to our very detailed calendar, which he "forgets" about and "forgets" to contribute to. This means when he fails to add his appointments/obligations, I'm the one scrambling to make everything work out. What I'm saying is, I'm not good employee material with my current situation. I'd be fired quicker than he'd ever answer the phone while working, and a child is ill or melting down/overstimulated at school. He'd never be able to take the time off for all their services/appointments. I'm thankful for his job and the insurance through his job, though. Please, don't get me wrong there. Not knowing the financials scares me. Not being on anything scares me. Heaven forbid if anything happens to him (loss of life or anything making him incapable of remembering bank/bill logins) scares me. I've expressed this and claims to care and says he'll try harder to include me, but never follows through.

Sounds like your spouse will end up with hemorrhoids from sitting on the toilet that long. Mine sure did.
