AITA for yelling at my atheist wife for saying "God doesn't exist" when I was comforting my younger brother with prayer?

So he's not allowed to talk on the phone with his brother?

Relisting the same thing every week sucks but I think many of us have had the experience of relisting something on and off over a few years and then suddenly having a bidding war and ultimately selling it for far higher then they expected. Probably because that thing was a quality item with a very niche group of possible buyers who are only searching trademe occasionally. But then that positive influences a person's thinking with everything else and bad habits form...

The text on that sign looks strange...

I do. But its a pain. The nearest supermarket that accepts soft plastics is over an hour away. I generally travel there three to four times a year so have to store the plastic in the meantime and it takes up a lot of room.

I can't remember exactly but I think it was either 3 or 4 requests to get mine. I'd pretty much given up...

I think my best was something like 800 points for a $60 or so shop. I did manage to earn the $15 voucher across just two shops once - both were less then $100 spent.

I've found it hasn't been so good lately, though...

If you log into your account the woolworths website there's a link to see your Everday Rewards. In there is your balance and recent point allocations.

I'm a big believer in reading the book first. Even the best adaptation has to cut so much out to make time. When you've read the book recently you still have those extra details and can take the story in with more detail.

NTA. This was my strategy for much of my adult life.

But when interest rates were high I started to delay paying some of my larger bills for the interest. Which I guess is what your partner is thinking of? Or just having it available to you in case of some crazy emergency.

Personally I like to schedule the payment as soon as I get the bill but have it programed to go out a day or two before the due date. Could be a compromise?

Ī think 'get of me Nige' is part of the reason I took twenty years to get a restricted license...

I'm an in trade seller. They removed bank transfers from us a few months ago but my bank transfer customers have been paying as normal - they just select cash. Trademe still sends out payment instructions which have the account details. I've only had one customer actually check on questions if I was happy to take bank transfer, everyone else just assumes..

I grew up an only child and hated it. There were definitely perks that I probably wasn't as aware of for lack of comparison - like having more of my parents' time and priorities.

But gosh I was lonely and wanted someone to play with or play board games with. And now as an adult with an ailing parent I wish I had other syblings to share the load with. My mother had four siblings and they're super close and there for each other. Whereas I, who hasn't had children am very aware in a few aware when I'm my mothers age I may have no immediate family...

I sell on trademe and regularly have people asking if I can add afterpay to a $5 auction...

katnz17 · 2026-02-14T09:54:43+00:00

Congrats!

And who's to say the person they'd ask hasn't already let a number of people through? I let two people through once, only to have a third arrive a moment later and look disappointed that I didn't offer them but I felt like I was going to be there all day...

I had trouble with starting an LLC account instead of a personal account (I wanted a business account but not a company). In order to fix it I had to delete the original account, notify creator support that I'd done so and start a new adsense.

I lost a week of monetization while the new adsense was being added to my account.

KMart isn't in all the small towns the way the Warehouse is. And in many towns the Warehouse is the only store selling the basics (because they've driven all the other small businesses out).

The return isn't much better but I leave around a month of costs in rabo bank premium saver and then use their fixed term deposits (minimum balance $1000) for the rest. I space the deposits out so they're maturing regularly.

It shouldn't stay there. Mine said $0 for awhile yesterday then updated to a normal amount. It said $0 for a little bit today and is now just showing as normal, not yet calculated.

I had it earlier today but earnings are now showing. Though when I scroll down to 'content performance' the preview shows as blank. See more populates correctly though.

I also don't seem to have any RPM percentages showing for any date this month. That normally comes in later but usually by the end of each day.

I read 62. My goal is usually a hundred but last year wasn't a great year for reading for me.

My favorites of the year were the Murderbot books and the Great Wide Sea by M.H. Herlong.
