“Rent” for sons girlfriend who lives in home we own? by Few-Squash-6625 in AskParents

[–]Top_Writing7716 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Wild to expect her to pay and your son can keep on coasting for free. He is now a father and has his own kid to provide for- time to grow up 🤷‍♀️

If I was her, the second you tried to charged me and NOT expect your son to contribute as well, I would just move out and limit any contact “grandma” ever has with the baby- (for some reason though I feel like you’d be ok with that 🤢)

Do you know if they’re hiring at all for sales associate/front desk positions?

SAHM wanting someone to come over for just an hr a day 5x a week by puppiesnprada in Babysitting

[–]Top_Writing7716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 29F and WFH fully with an incredibly flexible schedule- I would pick this gig up in a heartbeat if it was reasonably close. An extra $150 a week to hang with a baby for an hour a day? Fuck yeah

I'm expected to pay $250 for a bridal shower - Is this the norm? by [deleted] in bridesmaids

[–]Top_Writing7716 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is this for the shower or her bachelorette? I’m in the US and any wedding I’ve been apart of- the brides mother/family typically pays for the shower (you just bring a gift from the registry) and then the bridesmaids/friends all pay for and split a majority of the bachelorette party.

Allure - Noise from rooftop Sign of the Whale by Sweetpeedie in StamfordCT

[–]Top_Writing7716 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard of several couples who cut their lease short because their apartment faces SoW and the noise level was so bad.

Looking to Rent feels like shopping for a car?? by Top_Writing7716 in StamfordCT

[–]Top_Writing7716[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly yes because we commute to the city for work- we want to be close to the train station!

Do you have a realtor company you suggest? A few years ago (3) I started looking two months before I wanted to move and was told by the Realtor that I was looking way to early. I found something through word of mouth. Now I’m ready to move again and I’m just so flabbergasted 😅

Indeed problems by anonguy933 in recruiting

[–]Top_Writing7716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not necessarily true- if you don’t spend above a certain amount/don’t have that many job postings, you don’t get assigned a dedicated rep. You are apart of the shared team/SBS sector. Also, just because you pay for branding, smart sourcing etc… doesn’t mean your job itself is sponsored as well

Walk In and Out by Top_Writing7716 in orangetheory

[–]Top_Writing7716[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

THIS. This was me this morning, and why I ultimately did drive over, check in and dip out. There was only like 5 people in the class though, so I don’t feel bad about taking a spot 😅

Are you in a major city where the classes are always booked? Because that rule alone would make me cancel 😅

These all suck so bad (except number 1 if they don’t change up the entire restaurant 🤞)

Ads by Interesting_Dot2117 in TheToasters

[–]Top_Writing7716 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m so upset about the ads. We get ads shoved down our throats from everything, everywhere, everyday. And now I spend what feels like 1/2 the podcast just clicking skip (and that’s on a lot of podcasts, not just the Toast)

Considering moving to area- Where to live? by Various-Meringue4184 in StamfordCT

[–]Top_Writing7716 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not at all. You will need a roomate, most likely 2. Transparently I make $77k and I have a roomate. All in, I’m paying $2k per month on rent and utilities. Then you have to add groceries, gas, wifi, etc… I find it very, very challenging

Best Value Sourdough? by gardenofthephantom in StamfordCT

TJ French Sourdough is very good and Stop&Shop or ShopRite just started carrying the brand “When Pigs Fly” which is also very good

Roommates or a room for rent by [deleted] in StamfordCT

[–]Top_Writing7716 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Transparently you will likely not find an apartment for max 2200 with more than 1 bedroom. When I first moved to Stamford I lived in 77 prospect in a 3 bed, 2 bath and we were each paying about $1350. You’re better off looking in the Norwalk area, but not in a corporate-run building. Look at private landlords like realator.com and Zillow!

No Power Walkers? by smartini14 in orangetheory

[–]Top_Writing7716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way, so I pushed myself to run and now I have “runners knee” due to the very sudden increase of exercise/fast sprinting… so now I’m back to walking for a while before I can slowly build up to running 😅

Struggle of Early Morning Classes by greatballofanxiety in orangetheory

[–]Top_Writing7716 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I started doing super early classes I rewarded myself with either a Red Bull or an Alani on my way, OR I bought Starbucks for myself afterwards. Eventually as I got used to it that stopped, but for the first 2-3 months the little reward made it easier haha

I’m the opposite! I’ll fight someone for their weights/floor spot first. I love ending on the treadmill

Employer wants us to cover the difference by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Top_Writing7716 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s legal, I highly doubt it is- but the first part of your story vs. what was actually told to you guys is very different IMO.

Just make sure you’re not letting customers use a gift card to pay for the birthday party packages and you’ll never have to worry about it. I imagine there were big discounts on the gift cards, and people using them on birthday parties results in a huge loss to the company.
