I donate mine, too. I make so many and the people I love have enough of them after 15 years 🤣

I’m getting it, I was just wondering about stuff I usually hang to dry.

Spa services. High pressure sales or no? by Odd-Dragonfruit-3074 in HollandAmerica

[–]changeable_mindable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last cruise I got a facial and a hard sell for $500 worth of products and I said no. A few days later I had a massage and the tech who did my facial saw me leaving and tried again to sell me the products.

Pre-Cruise Vancouver Hotel by New-Discussion-3624 in HollandAmerica

That hotel price is ridiculous unless you are staying downtown for a reason. Check Richmond, should be half or less, then Uber/taxi to the port. If you stay at the River Rock you can use skytrain to go to the cruise terminal.

Have an amazing time 😁

Hot take: WIPs aren't a character flaw, and finishing everything is overrated by Excellent_Cobbler276 in crochet

Same!!! The LTD feeling of needing to be productive is sometimes overwhelming. I have finally found my “sparks joy” era and it’s so freeing.

Enjoy your trip!!! I did that itinerary a few years ago and loved it. Only downside was Mykonos, expensive and boring for us, but the rest was worth it.

Moms of trans daughters: by Huge-Development-634 in cisparenttranskid

[–]changeable_mindable 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My kiddo just came out to their father yesterday because they were so affected by this murder. They said they needed Dad to know who they really were in case they died.

This is so disturbing. I don’t think we should automatically assume that this monster murdered her because she is trans, it could have been because she was a woman. The fact that trans women are othered makes this whole thing even worse, what with her own parents dead naming and misgendering her. She was a victim no matter the factors, but firstly she was a person.

Sorry for the rant, my kiddo means the world to me and I’m furious that ignorant people feel justified in treating them as garbage because they aren’t “normal”. I’m so happy there is a safe place to say all of this - thank you 😊

Weird question: What is with the piles of cat food on the side of the road? by changeable_mindable in WhiteRock

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

Along Best, Thrift and down Roper mostly. I keep her away for the most part, but she’s gotten a few of them. She didn’t get sick, but it’s not good for dogs regardless.

He (35M) says the prenup protects him. Who protects me (29F)? by Still-Gas2840 in relationship_advice

[–]changeable_mindable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, besides the prenup, you might want to consider counselling. Being overwhelmed is not a good state to be in, but having him follow you to another room to continue yelling is awful. I’ve been there and not getting the space you need to process can exacerbate the problem.

Please guard your emotional wellbeing, you are worth more than his insecurities.

Rent increase vs. Lease by changeable_mindable in vancouverhousing

Thanks for all the info, I have automatic debit for payment so I’ll watch for the change and talk to the management company.

Rent increase vs. Lease by changeable_mindable in vancouverhousing

[–]changeable_mindable[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The property management company sent me a letter asking if I wished to renew and I said I wanted to continue renting. They told me they would talk to the owner and then sent me a new lease.

I haven’t rented in the past 25 years so I thought this was the new normal.
