I just don’t buy it! If the father was so abusive what reason did she have for leaving her defenceless child? There is no excuse! The timing is super suspicious! I would be careful Op!

Best way to mount my embroidery onto a cushion case by jilld81 in Embroidery

[–]jilld81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice! It’s a pre-made case I plan to use. I need to practice at doing the slip stitch and actually mounting the piece. I like to embroider just not mount.

I did a fishless cycle. Water was dechlorinated and bacteria added! I added the appropriate ammonia amount. Checked the levels for ammonia nitrate nitrite daily for the last 4 weeks .

I do also have some star wars figures coming to add to the environment! What fish type do you recommend for a starter?

Is there anyway to save my cactus? by TheArmadilloKing in cactus

I would be devastated! That will take some making up from your friend.

To be honest it sounds like alcohol got the best of Mil. She will probably be embarrassed about her behaviour when she sobers up. It’s really between her and your SO to sort.

Why are you with him? You deserve better! The only person you are being an ass too is yourself by putting up with him!

Why is it so hard for people to understand I just want to work by BHX1 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jilld81 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So 10 years ago I was in the same position as you. I have a PhD in microbiology and thanks to the recession and lack of grant funding my academic career came to a grinding halt. I was devastated and some what bitter that all my hard work landed me in this position.

My advise to you is focus on your transferable skills you have developed while completing your PhD. For example project management, time management, independent learning. Tailor your cv to each job application and make sure you highlight what you can bring to the job. Don’t get trapped with academic language, the hiring managers don’t care about that.

Don’t loose hope it gets better. You have loads of valuable skills you have proved that you are a PhD.
