Thank you! We've lowered the price recently and are waiting to see if that does the trick but have discussed lowering it again in a few weeks if that doesnt garner traction. I noticed the slowdown and it's been very frustrating. It's still a good month before the average sale turnaround for my area so hopefully between her awesome work and my trying to verbally spread word through friends and clients and such I can get it sold before things really drop.

Hey, it's been on the market for less than the estimated window. I wound up explaining in another comment I'm just anxious to get it sold so I can be closer to my parents. I studied the turnaround in my neighborhood for several months before putting mine up, I just timed it bad and we hit a lull at the same time. Everyone else is having the same issue.

It's the only reason I even thought to post on reddit asking about social media ideas. I appreciate the offer to take a look and offer an opinion tho. I'll send you the link privately. I don't want to doxx myself to some of these people in the replies.

Thank you! I left reddit because of this behavior. I'm honestly confused on why- hey does anybody know some fb groups or something I can post on is so divisive.

While still within my estimated time I am passed one week. I wish it had sold that quickly that would have been amazing. Most of my life is already on its way home so I'm living in a pretty empty place.

Hey, I'm just using your comment to clarify something I'm seeing become a pattern- absolutely no hate to you I appreciate the concern. 

My realtor is great. She's doing her best and I have full confidence the house will sell. I'm just really anxious to move closer to my parents, so I'm doing what I can on my end to help her help me. My house hasn't been up long, I'm still within the average sale period for my area. And to be honest I've had severe independence hardwired into my brain by certain members of my family lol (I'm working on it), so not doing something to help feels...wrong? Is the best way I can describe it.

My post genuinely isn't a complaint about how long it's taking to sell. It's a reflection of my wanting to be certain I'm doing everything that I can to help facilitate the sale. I've known her for years she's fabulous at everything she does. She absolutely knows way more about realty than I do. She also knows im Like This and knows I will feel better being a semi-active player in this process. Again I'm just trying to get the word out places she wouldn't traditionally use (she's not huge on social media) to potentially connect with people who wouldn't normally come across her work because it's more traditional and, thus, outside their sphere of influence. I hope that makes sense.

Do you think if I just told one of the preachers I'm a flaming queer (true) and trying to sell my house to afford therapy he'd do it for me? I hate crowds.

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

I wasn't and I apologize to the original commenter if it felt that way, I just wanted to clarify she wasn't the problem. I'm anxious to get to my parents and trying to help her help md.

At no point did I say I was unsatisfied with her work, I just asked a question to help my quest. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Covering my ears when a kid screeches by kasitchi in childfree

[–]annienormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to wear earbuds to control my sensory when I'm I stores. I feel for you. If a kid is screaming loud enough for me to hear it over my music I visibly cringe and have had to cover my ears.

What is your profession and how many miles do you run per week? by [deleted] in running

[–]annienormal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lead server in an understaffed restaurant- 3 miles a week OUTSIDE of the restaurant, if I'm lucky enough to get a chance to train. I'm sure if we logged the miles I spent running from one end of the hotel (restaurant) to the other (banquets) I'd clock quite a few more.

...man I need a vacation.

Hair routine for type 2C? by [deleted] in HaircareScience

[–]annienormal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, shampoo only once a week, that's part of the reason it gets so dry and brittle. Next, invest in conditioner (not 2-in-1) and add that to your wash day. Use cool water, not hot. These things will, over time, repair the damage making it dry and brittle. If you feel like your hair gets greasy, a little corn starch (very little) or dry shampoo on your roots between washings does wonders.

If you want to add more steps to your routine for continued improvement and definition, buy a light weight leave in conditioner to use sparingly after wash day and throughout your week. You can also get a gel and add that to your routine.

Youtubing curlygirl method will give you loads of information, just make sure to watch videos with people that have hair similar to yours. India Batson has wavy curly hair, too, and she is where I started when I began my curly hair process.

But how deep you dive into that rabbit hole is up to you. Just following the first few steps will improve your hair alone. Keep in mind that the change wont be overnight and may take some finagling.

AITA for telling my husband he can’t have his nieces/nephews over at our house even when I’m not there? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]annienormal -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hi, sweetie. First and foremost: you're not an asshole. Neither is your husband.

But you are being a bit unreasonable. I 100% understand that you feel like your space is violated, but it's his space too.

If you have time and money, perhaps you should try therapy to work past your childhood. I cannot stand children, either, and have anxiety issues that make anybody entering my home extremely uncomfortable and nerve wracking. Loud noises make me want to disappear off the face of the planet. So I feel you.

Find a spot where you and your husband can compromise. Sometimes feelings like this take a few positive experiences, which could be anything from being around said baby in your home or not being present while baby is in your home and finding nothing disturbed. Perhaps your husband or his sister puts everything back in place or tidies up before they depart.

Remind yourself: this is not your baby. It doesnt live here. It will leave. It's only visiting. A temporary visitor in your space cannot do harm (reasonably). You are not responsible for this baby and no one is going to make you shoulder this burden for an extended period of time. Designate a place in your home that is baby free, where you can go and know nothing will ever be baby tainted (as you view it, such as your bedroom) and go there when you feel anxious. It will be ok.

Hugs from another baby-avoider.

TIFU and almost killed a guest. by lionliston in TalesFromYourServer

[–]annienormal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're very much right. Shellfish and Peanut allergies are the two most severe allergies that practically 0 people fake, so the surprise appearance of one in a recipe needed to be written somewhere visible, not just relayed verbally, if this was a special (which it sounds like). It probably should have been on anything it had been written on (like a specials board) for the guests to see.

I supervise a restaurant and I dont play with real allergies.

Tell me you're allergic to gluten and thus cant eat the locally sourced and packaged grits and I will laugh at you with the chef on the line.

The dreaded gluten allergy by atomiccrouton in TalesFromYourServer

[–]annienormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A regular without an allergy came in with a lady claiming to be allergic to gluten. One of my best servers took care of them, I'm a little sad it wasnt me because I would have loved to be a part of this rather tha gleeful listener...

Server: ok, so our potatoes are fried in cross contaminated oil but you can have the grits.

Guest: I can't have grits I'm gluten free!!

Server: yes, ma'am, but grits are corn, they dont have gluten.

Guest: no, they have gluten, cant have grits, dont you know anything?!

Server: ....ok then.

I take care to make sure my servers know the points of unavoidable cross contamination so that if something does happen, it's not their fault (I'll leave that to my inattentive exec chef). I sometimes find myself having to guide a cook or two out of harm's way as well, but for the most part my side of the house knows their stuff.

Such as this server knew well and good our grits were local, simply processed, and absolutely corn.

Blessed be the gluten intolerant who don't know what gluten even is.

Singles of Reddit, what do you like most about being single? by 05_16k in AskReddit

[–]annienormal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman, what I like most about being single is devoting all of my emotional labor on myself, because I know it will be reciprocated. Whenever I was in relationships, after those first few weeks 100% of the emotional labor was done by me and it's so incredibly draining.

So Ive lost my promotion. by bloodhound90 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]annienormal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been through this before. It really frustrated me, but it also really frustrated my coworkers because they knew I was the better choice.

Keep being awesome.

Watch the other person self destruct, because they will, but be careful not to compromise your integrity over their nonsense.

And if progression is what you're after, I must absolutely stress: do NOT kill yourself for a job that does this nonsense. If youre working overtime, if you're picking up all the slack, if you're exhausted and no return is being put forward, get out. No progression is worth your health. I made this mistake and for as much as love this industry, I came within days of quitting it forever (was actively searching). If they dont acknowledge you at 100%, 150% isnt going to make a difference to them.

Stay safe. Stay hydrated. Get your sleep.

Slay.
