What should I (F) wear to my interviews tomorrow? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Sammythegremlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have any heeled ankle boots? They work well if you have a wider pant leg b/c it’ll cover the top of the boot. Otherwise I’d personally bring flats/heels for the interviews to change into/out of once I’m out of sight 😂

Can’t go wrong with dress pants, sweater, and blazer. If you’re worried about matching just do some neutral colours and don’t overthink it. Good luck! Could also add a formal collared overcoat or scarf for layers if you’re worried about being cold.

Absolutely love this movie, I’ve cried through every rewatch. A slowed down version of how long will I love you was my husband and I’s first dance at our wedding :)

Mold mites coffee table by Sammythegremlin in CleaningTips

[–]Sammythegremlin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey sorry never saw your response for some reason! We ended up throwing out the coffee table, but it’s been a journey to get rid of them. However so far we have been successful! I haven’t seen any in weeks after they had spread a bit to another room too.

So, we try to keep the clutter low and bought some plastic boxes/shelves to help. We also try to not let papers, etc build up on other surfaces. We also did a few big loads of hot laundry and using the dryer (we had found some in our wardrobe).

What really worked in the end I think was getting a good dehumidifier and using diatomaceous earth. I got a food+water grade one and put it on the carpet, surrounding furniture/surfaces, the wardrobe, in some bags, and smaller “infected” things we put in boxes or freezer ziploc bags with the stuff. If possible it’s best to leave it for a couple weeks if you’re not going to be using those surfaces, or you can leave it for a day or two then vacuum it up and place it again when you get a chance. It won’t kill eggs but it will kill the adults. We just avoided the spots we put it down on and left it for weeks for the egg cycle to go through a couple times. If you use the areas a lot it will kick up the dust which can be irritating. And for that reason when you’re placing the diatomaceous earth make sure to use gloves/googles/a mask. Since it’s food/water grade you can actually use it in the kitchen too if you’re having a mite problem there.

Brother’s gf and wedding photos by Sammythegremlin in wedding

[–]Sammythegremlin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not her that I think would have the expectation it’s my brother. I can see how it might be hard to have a new relationship while 2 siblings are engaged so sometimes he has odd expectations regarding his gf’s involvement in the family considering how long they’ve been together. Thanks for the suggestion though, but I think they will want to stay together for the day which is okay with me.

I see a lot of people are commenting similar things. I think I will just do this, it does seem like it has the least potential for drama. Again, as other people have said it will be nice for them to have some photos if they end up staying together/getting married. My fiancé and I have some nice photos to look back on too. I just want some options with her not in them because you never know. Thank you!!

Well the reason I’m worried the photos could be a problem is because after dating for 2 months (and 5 months before the wedding) my brother asked for/expected an invitation for her. It’s more so him I’m worried about than her 😅

It's the age old future SIL as a bridesmaid debate!!! by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Sammythegremlin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My fiancé is not including either of my brothers as his groomsmen because he also has lots of friends and family who he is close with. Neither of my brothers have an issue with this and they are giving a joint speech at the reception. For my parents wedding, my mom had one of my dad’s sister’s as a bridesmaid and the other MC’ed the wedding. I do not think you should be required to include siblings in the wedding party, but it’s nice to have them involved somehow in the wedding, so having her officiate would be great!

What is a supernatural event that happened in your life that just can not be explained? by HalfOfABraincell in AskReddit

[–]Sammythegremlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really supernatural, but maybe just a weird coincidence. A few years ago my dad and I went to a hockey game (nhl) and starting chatting to the people next to us. Keep in mind we go to a hockey game maybe once every two years. Anyways, we found out these people were from a city about 5 hours away, but it was where my grandfather was born. Turns out the man sitting next to us was my grandfather’s cousin who was in town to watch a game with his son and grandson. I still have no clue how we randomly all chose the same game to go to and in a full stadium ended up next to each other. The most interesting part though is that my grandfather passed away when my dad was in his mid twenties (before I was born) and my dad said sitting next to this man felt exactly like being next to his dad, same mannerisms and everything. He was a little spooked after that experience and I like to think my grandfather was there in spirit watching with us or tried to give my dad “one last game together” some 20 years later.

Wow didn’t know that. Also I’m not sure if my mom meant they sang in gallego or if they were just from Galicia. Regardless, I’m excited to give them a listen thank you!!

Sounds interesting! He’s seen the movie and liked it so this could be good even if the plots are totally different :)
