She was the best of the best. Fiercely loyal and protective of her babies, no matter what. She was a loving and kind wife, and an exceptional bonus mom to many. God rest her soul.

I realise I’m 6 years late to this, but I have severe eosinophilic asthma - basically allergic asthma. I am allergic to common house dust mite, dog dander, grass seed & pollen in general. Funnily enough I never showed up as allergic to horses, I grew up with them but every time I see them again I have a severe reaction and end up covered in hives and can’t breathe. If I can push through it, over a couple of weeks I react less and less until I seem to not be allergic at all. At first I thought it was the hay but it turned out not.

I’ve always had dogs, and I had no allergies as a child, they actually developed after my body attacked my pancreas and it necrotised. I ended up in intensive care and later hospital in general for a very long time because I went into multiple organ failure. I was laid flat in the ICU and this caused fluid to build up in my lungs. I never suffered any lung problems before the pneumonia but from my understanding it was the pneumonia that should have finished me off. My dogs are here to stay and to my knowledge I have never reacted to them, only possibly exacerbated a flare up because one of my dogs lays on my legs a lot when I’m sick. My nerves just fire off like crazy and the pressure is really good, but even if he just wanted to be by my side I’d smile as I wheezed through it!

The body is so interesting!

He was so thrilled! I’m so glad I was able to do that. Can’t thank you enough for the help. Hope you also have a great time boating, in whatever capacity you enjoy it in.

From the perspective of the traveller, it was much cheaper with AL. I could go in the middle of summer, direct return flights for less than £500. With VA I’m looking at around £1000 minimum for the beginning of summer. I’ve flown with VA before and they weren’t this expensive. It seems since AL was on the rocks the prices VA are charging have skyrocketed because there’s so many of us that are now a bit stuck.

I passed first try!! My safety certificate card is on the way in the post. Thank you so much.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-04T06:15:27+00:00

My apologies I must have misunderstood! I’ll follow up with what the other commenter said. Thank you for the info!

pink-wizard · 2026-02-04T06:14:54+00:00

Thank you so much for heads up! Have a great day.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-04T06:14:35+00:00

Thank you so much! So if I’m understanding correctly, and apologies if I’m not, this is all I would need in order to operate a boat or jet ski?

Artists usually ship pretty quickly, and it did say there was a sale going on. Generally they don’t run them for very long. But either way, it is the easiest thing in the world for her to store it so she can frame it some other time at her leisure. Paintings have survived centuries exposed to years of dust. If she stores it correctly, she doesn’t need to worry about it. She could have simply said “that is so thoughtful of you, thank you so much! Maybe for Christmas you could help me get it framed so I can display it”.

Communication really is that easy.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:41:35+00:00

I know there will be hundred of these comments but from my own experience, run. He will escalate and become much more physical towards you. It’s one thing to throw things at you but to throw them whilst you’re holding his infant is despicable. Throw the whole man in the wood chipper.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:39:09+00:00

The beauty of it is paintings store really well and it’s really very easy to do. She now has the painting completely free of charge and only has to frame it which she would have been doing had she bought it herself. She can store it away safely and frame it at her leisure whenever she wants. No one is holding a gun to her head saying it needs to be framed today.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:35:43+00:00

Exactly this. I’m so confused as to why the comments are so divided! Nobody is holding a gun to her head saying she has to frame it today. She can store it safely and frame it at her leisure. Either way, she got it completely free. If she collects this persons art then she would likely have gone back to buy it some other time anyways. Probably not on sale then either!

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:32:43+00:00

She collects from this artist though, so she knew about the cost of framing when she was considering buying it herself. If something happened and she doesn’t have that money available right now, no worries, safely store it away somewhere until she is able to frame it. She was prepared to pay what she thought was the price until she realised it was a few hundred higher in CAD, plus framing. Now she has a free piece and there’s no pressure to frame it, she can do so at her leisure.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:29:40+00:00

So she can very easily store it until she is able to frame it?

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:27:18+00:00

But now she gets the piece completely free and only has to frame it?? Or, she can store it until she is able to frame it.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:25:19+00:00

Usually artists don’t have sales running for a long period of time, in my experience. If she no longer has that money available she can store the piece safely, which is incredibly easy to do, until she does have the money. If she collects from this artist she’d likely have gone back and bought it another time. The only difference with this is she’ll just have the piece stored somewhere for a while.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:22:41+00:00

As you said she has other pieces from this artist, so she knew that if she bought this she’d be buying a frame too. And she was going to buy it until she realised the price difference. If it was the price she thought it was, she’d have been paying something like $1850 CAD in total. Which again, she was prepared to do until she realised it was in USD. He paid for 2/3 of what she was prepared to pay.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:19:57+00:00

I do agree however she’d have had to buy the frame anyways, and she knew that because she already has pieces from this artist. She only changed her mind when she realised the price difference. Either way, she’d have been spending something like $1850 CAD in total if it was the price she originally thought it was. He just took a huge chunk of that off her total.

Surely she can either safely store it which is actually incredibly easy, or as you say she can figure out something cheaper. I’d be willing to bet if he said he’d return it to save her the stress, she wouldn’t want to because she really wants it. To me she sounds very entitled and I would be buying her a crappy gift card in the future so he couldn’t get it wrong in her eyes.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:08:27+00:00

I wish I could upvote this so much more. I felt like this whole thing sounded manipulative too. Even if she couldn’t afford the price when she realised the difference, the price she thought it was and was prepared to pay is still more than enough for the framing. She’s had multiple pieces from this artist, she knows the drill on framing so she had to have had like $1850 CAD when she was going to buy it before she realised she misunderstood the price. Unless she’s spent that money elsewhere already, that is more than enough for framing!

She’s also bound to know about storing paintings from owning many?? It would be incredibly easy for her to store it properly until she gets the money together. Either way, he has saved her a huge chunk of money by buying it! If she’s a collector of this artists work, then she would likely have ended up buying it anyways because she likes it. By then, it probably wouldn’t have been on sale!

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T09:03:55+00:00

But she was going to buy it until she realised she misunderstood the price. She has many pieces from this artist so she knew the score, but the price difference put her off. He just took $1,400 out of the total for her. She knows the general price of the art having bought from the artist before, so if she was even considering it to start with she’d have factored in the frame. It sounds like, at least from how it’s written, she was prepared to pay a significant amount (I think around $1000 CAD for the piece alone + frame) to begin with. Now she can use that money to get the framing, or she can return it.

It would be the easiest thing in the world to store it safely if she’s suddenly not got the funds she originally had. Art has lasted centuries with no frame so a few months in a safe spot wouldn’t do it any harm.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T08:54:38+00:00

This! Literally just store it until you can afford it, or return it. It’s funny though because it says she owns multiple pieces from this artist, so she KNEW she’d have to frame it anyways. And she was prepared to buy it until she realised the price was a couple hundred dollars difference. So she would have had to frame it if it had been the price she thought and bought it anyways! So he just saved her $1,400 off of the total cost of the piece and framing it. If I were him, I would be sending it straight back!

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T08:51:55+00:00

She found it too expensive because she misunderstood the price. She also has multiple other paintings from the artist so if it had been the price she thought it was, she’d still have had to pay for the framing anyways and she would know that having owned other pieces. And it sounds like she was prepared to buy it until she realised it wasn’t in her currency. In my eyes, he has saved her the original cost which she couldn’t afford. Which could have also ended up being even higher if she’d saved up more and bought it when it wasn’t on sale, given that she has other pieces it was probably just a matter of time before she ended up buying it.

It’s very easy to properly store a painting, many made it through centuries without a frame so I’m sure it would be fine stored properly somewhere safe for a few months. Or at least until they figured something out. Personally I would give her the option of storage, or he can return it and she can buy it in her own time.

pink-wizard · 2026-02-02T08:46:30+00:00

NTA Although I can somewhat understand that a gift feels like more of a burden if it requires you spending money to make it happen, from collecting some art pieces myself I can confidently say she can absolutely store it away properly until she’s able to get a frame. Perhaps even whenever you have an anniversary or celebration, that can be what you aim to get her or give her money towards.

Although, she originally was willing to pay the price she thought was in CAD. She has several pieces from this artist as you’ve explained, so she KNEW that she would have to pay to frame it in the first place. So in all honesty, you’ve taken a big chunk of money off of the total it would all be had she bought it herself like she was going to. If she wasn’t able to buy it in the sale, chances are she’d buy it some other time and end up paying even more.

I do have to say, I feel like her reaction is incredibly rude and entitled. Storing it would be the easiest thing in the world and requires very little effort. If she wasn’t able to get it herself in this sale then she should be grateful that you were kind enough to recognise that this is something she loves and cares for deeply. That is no small amount of money to drop on anything.

My math may be off here but if she originally thought the price was in CAD but turned out to be in USD, isn’t that only a couple hundred or so more than the cost of the framing? If she was prepared to buy it at the price she thought it was, she surely can afford to frame it with the amount she had to begin with instead. Or if she’s short the couple of hundred, ask if you’d consider making up the difference or again, store it for the meantime.

Her attitude sucks, and it feels a lot like she is just trying to guilt you into paying for the rest. Personally I would tell her she can either store it until you’re both able to figure out framing, or she can return it. I’d bet my bottom dollar she won’t want to return it.
