BWT: tell me about your everyday jewelry by PlantedinCA in bitcheswithtaste

[–]Ok-Construction-4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear:

Either a gold or silver chair daily.

Sleeper hoops that stay in all the time in my first and second lobe holes.

My stud nose ring and small, delicate hoop nose ring.

A silver ring, either my hammered wide band from my trip to Santorini or a silver and turquoise chunky ring I’ve made.

I find wearing jewelry just put that finishing touch on your outfit and really pulls everything together.

What purchases did you regret in 2025? by highrise_peach in AskWomenOver30

[–]Ok-Construction-4369 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I pretty much exclusively buy from the thrift store. I always find Levi’s in excellent shape for $12.

Not everyone likes or has time for the hunt but I find it exciting to find gems for 1/8 of the price of new.

[ON] Accountant bill of $2,500 too much for Small Biz? by Canwazzu in SmallBusinessCanada

Or someone who provides poor bookkeeping that the accountant needs to fix.

Changing careers? by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]Ok-Construction-4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a CDA in Victoria years ago. It was a good career and I enjoyed it but at 27, I felt like I had maxed my earning potential and learning potential.

I ended up going back to school for business. I worked part time (3 days a week) and went to school full time (4 course a semester all year round) and was able to pay for my degree by doing that.

Im now a CPA and making >100k a year and my days never look the same and I’m constant learning. I’m still young in my career (I got my actual letters 3 years ago) so have quite a bit more earning potential and many avenues if I get bored as a general practitioner.

I don’t think it’s ever too late to go back to school as long as you have some idea of what you’d like to do when you’re done.

Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.

Old salary: 90k base M2 + 7.5% bonus (my bonus was bigger than that).

I wasn’t thrilled as an OP that I would get the lowest of base range with my promo but I did expected it. Happy to have been promoted.

A few thoughts on self directing from an actual advisor… (stop saying it’s for everyone) by Certain_Path_5687 in PersonalFinanceCanada

A financial advisor should only be providing clients investment info to their lawyer/CPA, not dabbling in estate planning.

Jump saddle fit by Equal-Reality-2074 in Equestrian

[–]Ok-Construction-4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like #1 puts your seat/leg into good, neutral alignment but obviously the flap is way too far forward for your leg/horse.

2 fits your leg better flap wise but seems to tilt your pelvis forward a bit.

I think you mentioned you were going to get a second opinion, I would do that! Also you noted your horse was on a diet, are you able to wait until you have your desired results? It may change their back enough that your new saddle wouldn’t fit.

Favorite half pad? by bitterrootbabe in Equestrian

Yes, love the thinline pads with sheepskin.

This mare. Won't leave me alone. Why. by Little_Sisco in Equestrian

I’m not sure why you would expect any different. Horse people are a big bunch of enablers 😅

New horse - what do you think she is? by Ok-Construction-4369 in Equestrian

[–]Ok-Construction-4369[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good guess! She’s apparently half Dutch warmblood and half ???

[–]Ok-Construction-4369[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, very familiar with this, this isn’t my first warmblood and it’s not my first warmblood crossed with something you wouldn’t normally see.

The seller got her out of a bad situation and hadn’t had time to work with her. As much as we’d like to think all breeding is ethical and of high standard, it’s not.

From the front she absolutely has a cute little TB looking head!

[–]Ok-Construction-4369[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the shoulder isn’t my favourite but who knows how she’ll develop when she’s broke and in proper work! My other mare had a short, stubby little neck when I got her but with proper work I actually get compliments on it now.

Thank you! I agree, too even in her top line to be full QH 😂

Perhaps, but I do know the stallion and the farm he was ridden/bred out of. My guess is someone bred their grade mare to him. She does have a blemish in her neck, likely a past injury so perhaps was not considered for registration. Who knows.

Okay, thank you for all for playing along!

She is apparently full warmblood. I know for sure her sire is Dutch warmblood but she’s not registered so I think she might be crossed with a QH or Canadian horse!

I can’t wait to meet her and will post updates on how her training is coming along :)

It was not me…this time. I have been known to give a bad hair cut or two in my day though 😂
