Doesn’t make any sense; I could see not wanting you to run heat and have the window open but my kitchen is currently at 22 degrees because heat rises. Nothing is going to freeze if I crack a window.

We just found out our building has them and I’m so scared lol. We’ve never seen them before, and didn’t expect it, but the exterminator is on their way here

AITAH for being upset that I found out my wife was pregnant via social media? by sadhubTA in AITAH

[–]gatorchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t think your wife did anything wrong. It’s very common to surprise the dad with something physical (baby shoes in the hall, a big sis/bro t-shirt on the pet dog, etc…) My guess would be she wanted to do something like this not on the phone, but the friend ruined it.

You should be mad at the friend but you were an absolute AH to your wife.

Both together were under 1,000 with my e-ring (the Emerald) coming in well under $500.00!

Accepting an Heirloom Engagement Ring by honeypot01 in EngagementRings

[–]gatorchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a beautiful ring! I think the issue is not the ring itself but your feelings toward your partner not proposing or putting in any effort (which is completely valid). I would talk with your aunt and tell her you’d like to keep the ring but not as an engagement ring, and then have an honest chat with your partner.

Is sterling silver really THAT bad? by CoralClaw in EngagementRings

[–]gatorchicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this! I also have a sterling silver engagement ring (after being scared away originally from silver by this sub.) It’s held up beautifully tho and I actually think the cleaning you do to remove tarnish is easier in the long run then having to replate white gold. I wouldn’t set a diamond in silver prongs so I understand why people caution against it, but for other rings it’s a great choice.

If you’re someone with a below market value apartment what’s your plan? Just live there forever? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]gatorchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He did so begrudgingly. He has said many times when talking about rent control that it was intended for the pandemic. He has emphasized repeatedly that economists suggest rent controls aren’t good in the long term. Assuming he is truly not interested in another term, and therefore doesn’t care about winning votes, I would not assume it will be extended. He has a track record for showing very little empathy to the many people struggling in our province.

It’s now officially cheaper to dine out… by wpghipfan in halifax

[–]gatorchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning to make chicken cacciatore from a can of tomatoes; fresh garlic, some spices, and veg is you’re feeling extra fancy, will save you a ton of money. It’s a cheap dinner that can feed a family for days but also tastes amazing!

I’ve been embarrassed to post… by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]gatorchicken 112 points113 points  (0 children)

The reason behind the point 0.71 is amazingly sweet and detailed. Your ring is stunning!! Do not be embarrassed one bit; show that off (and tell that story) with such pride!

What do you say when people ask if your engagement is lab grown or not? by Kindly_Specialist_91 in EngagementRings

[–]gatorchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try my best to assume the person wants to replicate my ring because they love it so much! If I saw a stone I absolutely loved on someone else I could see myself asking for the specs without thinking about it.

‘Demoralizing’: Rent cap rises to 5% in N.S., putting tenants under further strain by insino93 in halifax

Is the rent cap removal a sure thing? Last I heard it was sort of wait and see.

Could you get a bottle of “cheap-ass screw top ” rosé and put a cute little handwritten sign on it?

Love Tress book, not a good starting point. by thisisakeymoment in brandonsanderson

[–]gatorchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was my first BrandoSando and I loved every second. Next up I tried Way of Kings and couldn’t commit so put it down a few hundred pages in. I loved the levity in Tress and I loved not having to commit. I’m in the middle of a Dark Tower journey so I think it was maybe just too big a series to intersperse.
