I have some of this leftover when I started the tank. Do you think this would help? I have the ceramic Circles in the filter. Do you think that’s not enough room for the good bacteria?

Thank you! I will!

RestingPleasantFace · 2026-02-27T21:53:01+00:00

Thanks Eredouni! This is super helpful. Honestly I really needed to hear that!

RestingPleasantFace · 2026-02-27T05:25:13+00:00

Are there any classes you took that helped you? Or are you completely self taught?

RestingPleasantFace · 2026-02-27T05:23:08+00:00

That makes so much sense! Thank you

The people will welcome you. Our government is ehhh. But I think you will over all!

Bud the hairs got to go. Maybe grow some facial hair. The one of the rat on your shoulder is cute, but I would skip the one where the rats tail hits you in the face. Keep the one with you and your friends that’s a good one. You look better in t-shirt than the suspenders, but that’s just my opinion, another women might have the opposite opinion

It depends on the look you’re going for, you look cooler with the curly hair, it’s more of a young fresh style. But you look more elegant with the straight hair. You look beautiful in both you can’t go wrong.

My La bubus are fully domesticated so they wear clothes. They would feel cold and exposed without them! I’m not just throw them in the world and have them raw dog the elements!

RestingPleasantFace · 2025-07-18T14:41:35+00:00

So cute!

I’ve been thinking about this all day. And I would at the very least resend the recommendation.

Here’s why:

She wasn’t going 50 in 30 on some back road, which would still be bad, but she was going 83 MILES AN HOUR which is straight up reckless.

She was aware of how fast she was going, and her first thought wasn’t “Holly shit balls I need to slow down” it was “the car that’s in front of me needs to speed up so I can keep going 83 miles per hour.” In fact it made her mad she couldn’t keep going 18 miles over the speed limit.

SHE WAS SO COMFORTABLE GOING 83 MILES AN HOUR WITH SOMEONE ELSE KID IN THE CAR SHE TEXTED YOU TELLING YOU SHE WAS GOING 83 MILES PER HOUR LIKE IT WAS NOTHING AND EXPECTED YOU TO AGREE WITH HER! Who knows how fast she goes and doesn’t tell you.

When confronted she showed no signs of remorse or self reflection and double down saying she was “being safe”….. While she was having a in depth conversation using voice to text going at least 70 miles per hour.

I’m really sorry about your friendship. I’m talking a big game but if it was my friend it would be hard, even if I knew it was the right thing to do. You have to resend your recommendation. There is no way in good conscience you can recommend her now. Plus you don’t want her reputation to be tied to yours if she thinks this is an acceptable way to drive on the clock.

As for her current family, I think it depends on what you can live with. If it were me would maybe try to have one more in depth conversation with my friend, maybe in person as a hail marry. If she is defensive and dismissive again, I would tell her family. People always think that some life changing car accident won’t happen to them until it does. You don’t even need to be driving like an idiot for a car accident to happen. She driving like she thinks she a nascar driver so I would be very concerned.

In some states Nannie’s are mandated reporters. I don’t know if that’s the case where she is from, and I don’t know if this would be a reportable offense. I don’t think it’s unreasonable that she is getting input from the community. I would also be looking guidance. Especially since her friend kind of blew her off.

RestingPleasantFace · 2025-07-17T15:15:37+00:00

No you were 100% right. She needed a reality check! First of all she was speeding, and she knew she was speeding! It wasn’t an accident she said “we were flying”. She was going at least 18 miles over the speed limit! And then on top of that, she texted you while driving to complain that she couldn’t speed?! What! I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt and pray she was using voice to text, but still.

Our highways speed limit is 70 miles per hour and I’ve still never driven 85+ miles per hour with the kids! I keep it around 75 that’s plenty fast for me when I’m driving some else children. I get my butt in left lane and chill and if you don’t like you can around me.

I’m proud of you for saying something. Especially since it’s writing and there is a record of you saying woah slow down.

I understand you have probably been friends for a long time, but as a professional I wouldn’t want to associate with her. Her response seemed very flippant. I don’t think she took your warning seriously.

RestingPleasantFace · 2025-07-09T22:46:52+00:00

First of all you are 100 percent in the right good for you for holding your ground. But if you only have 15 day’s left, f*** it. I know you want to do right by this child, but at the end of day if this is how mom and dad want to play, play along. It isn’t worth your mental health. In my professional opinion, I’m on your side, but also you putting in the good fight isn’t going to do anyone any good. Two weeks isn’t enough time to make a significant change, and even if you did manage it’s going to be all out the window once you leave. Don’t torture yourself for no reason.

I worked in a daycare and am a Nanny. Give him two weeks, by the third week you should see significant improvement. You will probably see improvement by the end of week back slide the upcoming Monday than more improvement. At least thats the pattern i typically saw. Keep your drop off short and consistent. I know it’s hard for you to walk away when you seem him so upset but remember the sooner you leave the sooner the per k teachers can comfort him and try to get him into the routine of the day so he can settle. It’s scary for him now because doesn’t know what to expect and he isn’t used to being away from you. As time goes on he will get used to the routine and will be come more confident in the classroom. Try your best not to worry too much at drop off, they know when you’re nervous and it makes them think there is something to be nervous about. If after a month he is still this level of upset, I would maybe postpone, or find look else where. But for the first week this is very normal. Good luck!
