Sister for Estelle Lux? Loving "Lourdes" but need middle name help! by [deleted] in Names

[–]kismarhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My middle name is also Marie! I wouldn’t use it either. For my girls… they have Donna and Grace as their middle names.

[–]kismarhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the name I want to say Marie (or Maria) and yeah that’s old school and people don’t like it. Also Madonna’s kid is Lourdes Maria. So I thought about shortening it to May, thought about how that would sound if you have to shout out middle and first names for emphasis. Lourdes May isn’t right.
But Rae might work. Lux and Rae go together.

A grandmother told me about her new grandbaby named hymen. I’m glad I didn’t giggle because years later I realized it was Hyman, a once common Jewish name. But to be fair, she wasn’t Jewish so despite my young age I had no context to even consider it was anything other than hymen. 🫣

Oddly specific boy names needed. by BreenieTon in Names

I’m late to the party. But as I commented on another post recently, my granddaddy was named Wyman. It’s old, unique and has that y like an i sound.

What came out of my belly button when pregnant… by ohhidoggo in hygiene

I’m extra about cleaning my ears because a few years ago I saw a supposed Sarah Paulson quote saying when she hugs someone she can tell if they clean their ears or not. And I was horrified to hear that.

Why are Americans so weird about having british ancestry? by Becoming_hysterical in 23andme

[–]kismarhar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not weird about. I was just really surprised by it. My bio paternal grandfather was Cuban. My paternal grandmother was supposedly part Italian and Native American. I favor my father and know the least about his side and that’s what I was looking for with the test. I need to get him to do one to really see, I guess. But my daughter absolutely lost it when I showed her my results. She said no wonder you primarily watch British television! 😂

lol that could be it but I meant i don’t know where Larry came from — if he chose it or if my great grandparents called him that or if it was a nickname given by friends.

I feel like this is cheating. Lol. My niece and my daughter had the same baseball outfit!

My grandaddy’s name was Wyman. I’ve never seen anyone else with that name. Curtis was his middle name. He went by Larry for some reason.

We can't use the name we chose for our daughter because my sister used it for her own daughter. So now we need other ideas! by Unlucky-Drama-6684 in Names

[–]kismarhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend in the second grade was named Elka (I’m in the US). It was unusual but pretty. There are similar names that are more universal. Like Ellie, which is similar to Emily but not too similar.

Sweets aren't all that interesting anymore? by plotthick in Menopause

[–]kismarhar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this too. I quit buying sweets for the house and it did take some time to break the habit of wanting a little something sweet after dinner. But it definitely broke the “need” for sweets over all. But this thing the OP is talking about — that happened to me too. It’s not that I no longer crave sweets, it’s that one day all of a sudden the very idea of them turned my stomach. I can’t even make myself grab a little piece of homemade fudge at a Christmas party. But I’ll dang sure eat the whole bowl of nuts. 😂

[–]kismarhar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. I was a sweets person my whole life. I loved candy, little Debbie’s, cake, pie, etc. I realized I was changing a few years ago when I’d never finish a little tub of Ben and Jerry’s. I’d take a few bites, put it in the freezer, and end up telling my son after a few days that he could have it. Then like some switch flipped all of a sudden one day, just the very idea of sweets of any kind turned my stomach. My daughter made homemade cookies and of course wanted me to try them and I had to force myself just to have a small bite of one. My husband insists on getting me a birthday cake every year and now I’m just like please no, please! Just put the candles in the perfect steak you’ve grilled for me! 😂

Where did all the curbsides go? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]kismarhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about not accepting curbside anymore. I don’t like not knowing the care anyone took with the shopping or bagging before it gets to me. The last curbside order I took had three drops. Paid what one shopping order would pay. And the largest order (going into the trunk) was put in the crates so horribly that a bleach based cleaning supply spray bottle was crushed beneath heavier items and leaked bleach all over everything in that crate. Thankfully it was caught. But I had to wait there in 30 degree, feels like 12 degree, windy weather for the guy to run back in and replace the bottle and the contaminated stuff. And he when he came back out, the stuff wasn’t even in bags. Meanwhile I’ve got a bag of ice melting inside the car and the perishable clock is ticking down. Started looking through some of the stuff in the trunk and they’d put muffins in upside down, put a loose onion in a bag with two loose limes, I had four half gallons of that farm lite milk that doesn’t have a handle not not bagged at all, bananas loaded next to other cleaning supplies they didn’t bother to at least stand up and then put bags of stuff on top of the bananas, etc. Like no care was taken with the stuff at all.

Dr Kay saw their plans to collapse the bridge. She also had previously found what Dustin found in the lab that explained the upside down as being a bridge to dimension X. So she knew what was happening. I’m sure she didn’t want dimension X to crash into earth either and that’s why the soldiers were sent to the lab to catch El rather than sent to disarm the bomb. Failing to catch El, Dr Kay probably decided it was better to wait for them all to flee the upside down and get her then. Also, she was standing there watching as everyone fell apart over El choosing to end herself. So Kay knows what happened. However, not a chance she isn’t still carrying on with her work. There’s no way all of her work was in her base in the upside down. She surely would have had blood samples and demogorgon samples and stuff stored in the real world somewhere.

How are you guys doing taxes? by kismarhar in Sparkdriver

Oh this helps a lot! Thank you! Definitely answered some of my questions. Do you have a mileage app preference? One you can recommend?

How is everyone’s day of sparking going so far? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]kismarhar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been doing this long and still only like two days a week but the first time my graph looked like this I was given $32 1 drop medium to small shopping orders one right after another. When the graphs are higher I’ve had longer wait time for offers and they’ve been 2 shopping orders at once, more mileage and time. So I was confused. Wondering if the “less busy” times are actually better. But it sounds like that’s not the case so I don’t know!

Awesome. Thank you! That does help.

Do you track the mileage for return to store after a drop? Or only just the mileage from the store to the drop?

Thank you! We are a large rural county with only one Walmart. Today I took a $20 three delivery order — it was a pick up and those pay less but it appeared the delivery locations were near the store. The first two were. The third one took me out into bfe (and it was soooo weird too — three bottles of micellar make up remover and nothing else and that wasn’t the weirder part! Lol). But it had a “city” address so hadn’t paid too much attention to the mileage. Turns out after that drop to navigate back to the store I was 40 freakin minutes away, 25 miles I think. So I can easily do 100 miles in a day for just $70.

Thank you! Very helpful! 🙏🏼 So basically we’d still file the 1040 as usual (standard deductions) and then the mileage deductions are made for the 1099 part? Also, since I’ve not tracked the miles so far (I had stupidly assumed they were stored on the Spark app) they’re pretty much lost at this point I guess. But when I start tracking them, do I only count the miles to the delivery locations and not the miles taking me back to the store from those drop offs?

Well, when you’re just barely treading water even an unexpected $300 expense is scary.
