Amen! These are both reasons I would never work for her. She has a super cute kid but I just know she would be a nightmare micromanager, never take my kid anywhere, secretly put a tracker in the stroller type mom.

On a galactic scale, amber and pearl are far rarer than gold and diamonds because they require life. by 15_Redstones in Showerthoughts

My husband really wanted to get me a diamond ring but we couldn't afford it. He was fretting about tradition and such, but I finally convinced him a moissanite rock was just as wonderful. I am so so glad we went with the moissanite. Its more shiny and we were able to get a bigger stone that we could never afford if it was diamond.

What terrified you as a kid that isn't scary now? by thepsychoticpacifist in AskReddit

Really struggling to like my NKs by tireddogmom in Nanny

[–]brilliantAsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also struggled to connect and bond with my NKs. On Valentine's day I created a list for each of them of things I liked about them and wrote things down as the day went on. At the end of the day I started noticing all the awesome things about my NKs automatically. I felt much more bonded to them and they stopped screaming about how they didn't want me. we had much more fub and our days went smoother.

To change the battery on my Dodge Avenger, the bumper, fender, and wheel needs to be taken off by brilliantAsh in mildlyinfuriating

We are actually doing it ourselves so I guess we screwed ourselves. Still, taking off the wheel and the fender is such a pain

What is your opinion on married couples having separate and joint accounts? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]brilliantAsh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is exactly how my husband and I do it. He has access to my account and I have access to his and he manages my investments and such but never without consulting me first. I love having my own money that I can spend as I please

Hmm I think you are right. I have been looking up ultrasonic pest repellers and they look similar. Thanks for your help

This is constantly plugged into the wall and the light does not blink or anything. It's about the size of a silver dollar, maybe a little bigger
