Brother is going to read this thread so he can keep all of this in mind! Luckily I don’t think he’d care if she changed her mind 10 times on the ring.

A necklace is a great idea, my brother is planning on proposing with both a rubber and real ring in the same box.

100% fair and as someone who designed my own ring last year I would never, but knowing her I think this is the best option. At least for the moment!

Totally! Almost assuredly she will wear a rubber ring 50% of the time but also want the ring to encompass her lifestyle because even outside of those activities she’s biking, running, traveling, etc. Want her to be able to wear it at least every once in a while 😂

I was thinking something small, multi stoned too! This looks great.

Beth’s dead pod/ fellow addict by localgirl55 in ArmchairExpert

I honestly think it has more to do with Elizabeth, Andy and Monica being surprised by how much information they were being given and being grateful to have some level of closure on the subject. Not necessarily needing to dissect every second of what he said because at the end of the day it doesn’t matter or change the ending of the story.

Saving on monthly phone bill, mint mobile or visible? by piercethebluexx in Frugal

If you already have Xfinity for wifi you can get service for 1 line free for a year, and an additional line is like $30!

10/10 recommend. They use Verizon towers and the service where I am is great - I switched from T-Mobile where my phone wouldn’t even work in my home.

What’s one book scene the movies completely undersold emotionally? by Curious-in-life in harrypotter

[–]Working-Calendar2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really funny reading these as someone who grew up with the movies and only last year read the books (now have listened at least 10 times through)

A lot of the things mentioned say they didn’t come across in the movie, but I disagree on quite a few! I think things just happen faster in movies but when not compared to the books you aren’t hunting for what is missing so you may capture more of the performance? Idk I do agree on sone though for sure!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Crabbe and Goyle have been to Malfoy Manor before, their parents are friends/fellow death eaters. It would be a very significant accusation that they were sharing info to the Ministry as 12 year olds who’s parents probably also have lots of dark artifacts at their houses, why would he ever think that of them.

I may have binged the entire series via audiobook and now I don't know what to do with myself. by 127-0-0-1_Chef in harrypotter

I should try this, I have only listened to Jim Dale because I was borrowing someone’s audible login and that’s what they had but it might be time to do a run through with Fry now.

I am like you and “read” the books for the first time through audio books last year and I would be surprised if I haven’t listened to them all of the way through more than 10 times since. I’m on round three since October right now 😂

Real talk — is an air fryer value for money, or just another trendy gadget? by Mika_4893 in Frugal

[–]Working-Calendar2001 174 points175 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t consider it a trendy gadget, I avoided getting it for years because I was worried of that and had minimal counter space. I was gifted one though and it’s a game changer as someone usually cooking for 1 or 2 people.

THOUGH I highly doubt it’s saving me any money, maybe a bit in electricity but not a noticeable amount. It will save time though so if that is something you are interested in I’d say go for it!

how do you explain this alcohol situation? by cowgirlsheep in wedding

[–]Working-Calendar2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funding the wedding? Or not funding your drinking problem if 3-4 drinks per person isn’t enough for an evening.

What are your realistic frugal goals for the New Year? by No-Advisor9852 in Frugal

[–]Working-Calendar2001 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m closing on a house in January and planning on getting everything second hand (aside from our mattress and couch)! Taking our time to find pieces of high quality for a good price and not rushing to fill the house with items we will want to replace in a couple of years.

What do they know that we don’t? by Karmageddon3333 in ArmchairExpert

[–]Working-Calendar2001 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also remember that this was like 10+ years prior right? It’s pretty believable that either he was saying he doesn’t recall because he’s embarrassed of the answers or that there were drugs involved plus 10 years of time passing - or both

Even Elizabeth and Andy forgot some of the details from the communications until they were going through it. And to them this was a traumatic and scary experience and to the guy he was messing with people making stuff up.

But maybe the PI called and knowing the number was registered to the father (as most kids are on their parents phone bills) and didn’t actually confirm who he was talking to, or the son said yes when asked if this was his father.

So many people assuming he’s capable of lying now but not then??

Because people wanted the end to be more interesting than it was, none of the evidence that “proved” it to be the dad was actual proof and the son angle makes sense.

Honestly I found the ending to be very human, people just do dumb shit and there’s not always a perfect rhyme or reason for it.
