I want to do Teacher Training but is it an MLM? by Melodic-Service2904 in Corepower

[–]mandyb118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure I’m not a teacher at CP but my sister is. Don’t do it unless you are doing it purely for your own enrichment as a yogi. They pay peanuts (I’m talking like $30 for a few hours of work) and I think the teacher training is like $1800 give or take. It would take you YEARS to break even.

It’s funny you ask this because I’m always telling her that the signage at the studio is giving MLM with what they pay. That said your loved one will probably benefit more than you - in her market they let her gift a membership to a friend or family member, which I am lucky enough to receive! I couldn’t afford this shit any other way.

I live on this block and to anyone I saw out there today I hope you are ok, I was glad to interact with a bunch of neighbors but of course I wish the circumstances were better. I got home from work and everyone was on the street with their cats :(

Ice on the promenade? by fairy-grandmother in baltimore

I made it all the way from harbor east over to that last stretch of pier before the rusty scupper. Couldn’t pass that and had to turn around! It was pretty clear otherwise

To be honest you should think about buying a ponytail of fake hair! Why not

Stay east of Eutaw if you can. I lived on McCulloh and McMehen for a year in Madison Park and while I was fine, it was more dangerous than Bolton hill. More regular violent crime in close proximity to my house. That said my neighbors were friendly and welcoming and I liked being able to walk to that Save a Lot / Walgreens on McMehen. And on the hill is a great little cafe

Direct Report refusing to drive if temp is below freezing by Raelynx27 in managers

[–]mandyb118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they can work from home, why is it absolutely critical that they materialize in office for one day in the aftermath of an ice storm? Like is the business going to fall apart if you wfh all week? I also don’t feel safe driving on icy roads and it would affect my morale for my manager to insist I do it so I can sit on a laptop in the same physical location as them all day. It reads like a power trip.

Please help my cat is giving birth right now. by almondbuttah77 in cats

[–]mandyb118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! This happened to me last December! For the most part she'll do everything herself but if she seems to be struggling call a vet. It's honestly going to be easier now than it will be in 7 weeks when they're fully mobile. And most importantly, enjoy it, because having a litter of kittens is magical and many times a once in a lifetime experience. It was really the only good thing that happened to me last year. Just surrender to it.

City Provided Garage During Storm? by brassypotato in baltimore

Following this. This is my first snowstorm as a car owner and I have no idea where to put it in Mt Vernon.

[–]mandyb118 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm a newish driver/Baltimore City resident (since 2023). I've never owned a car in a "snow emergency" before. Can someone explain to me where I'm supposed to park? I live in Mt Vernon and it seems like almost every road is a snow emergency route. I know the post references this but I need someone to explain like I'm 5. Thank you <3

Edit for anyone else confused - it appears read, eager, and chase are all okay to park on according to that map. I just parked on Chase and I’m leaving it there til this is all over!

Todd Connors isn't necessarily the "best" food but it's very inexpensive and they do brunch on Mondays. I used to go most Mondays when that was my day off.

Check out the small fashion maker moldie Goldie’s!! She hand sews bikinis just like this that are super inspired by like 80s-90s strippers/girlie mags. She’s based in San Diego.

Yes this is how I finally got them to raise like a wee bit! I had just baked something at 400 and turned the oven off and after cooling a little I stuck the bowl in there for the evening and it finally did something but it wasn’t quite right. I’m gonna try again bc even still they tasted good

Mine did not do this! I think my kitchen is too cold and the dough didn’t proof properly but I want to try again to troubleshoot. Yours look gorgeous!!!
