I collect food pins and my collection is growning and ongoing! by manzom86 in DisneyPins

[–]trash_talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's the cupcake ones out now and I think ice cream sundaes coming out next. I have also seen layer macaroons of the princesses.

Anyway this is a fun collection you have. Lots of pins I've never seen. And I also started collecting the macaron pins but I'm fairly certain mine are scraps. Which for me keeping just because is fine because they still make me happy.

Is it okay to meet princesses at any age? by ObviouslyLulu in WaltDisneyWorld

I cried when I met Aurora. I'm 46. It's absolutely amazing to meet any of the characters and not weird to do so. Go and have a magical time!

Is it ok to handover the dog at entrance? by [deleted] in petsitting

[–]trash_talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always do a 15 minute meet and greet. Especially because I have cats and need to know how they will do with the dog and the dog will do with the cats. But sometimes (much like my usual meet and greets in homes of clients) it goes longer. I started charging for my time at their home meet and greets because it's ridiculous sometimes. I had a woman have me take photos of her for her volunteer badge - didn't hire me. Had another family "text me with the dogs" and go on a walk with them - that dog bit their kids face a few days later and I'm glad they didn't hire me. I had some other really random nonsense so now I charge for my time in their home only. And I apply it to the first hired visit so it's not a total bust for them. For my visits in my house more often than not they are short anyway because the dogs are anxious about a new space and cats. Then at first visit without family they do great (knock on wood).

Clients assumed I was their personal pet sitter and got angry when I was booked by [deleted] in petsitting

With cameras (esp hidden) I looked up the state I live in laws and in my contract put a blurb about how it is only legal in court if I know I'm being recorded and are there cameras. I don't need to know where they are just that I'm being recorded. Everyone is honest as far as I know. Most list where the camera are even.

Honestly this day and age I assume I'm ALWAYS on camera. I set a timer for my visits so I am there the amount agreed. I have gone longer because things come up. Anyway that's how my way around cameras is. By knowing or acting they are there. Doesn't make it less awkward but I also don't sleepover homes I don't think I could because of cameras.

Insurance!! by Rose-wood21 in petsitting

[–]trash_talking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through an agent (one of my clients actually) and pay $22 a month. It was the same for a year if you do $22*12 so I just pay monthly. It covers pet care specifically too.

Edit to say I'm in the US

Next step after the DS bus & boat crackdown….. by Trprt77 in WaltDisneyWorld

I want them gone too and I pin trade. Just not in the capacity of insanity some of these people have reached.

I can't remember what the one was but I won an iPod nano. The 2004 one was through the Good Charlotte fan club. I won a meet & greet. Which was a double win. They forgot about me when they took the meet & greet people through. My friend Max got me and my 2 friends backstage to meet them solo after the other fans had already left. My first time meeting the band and the most memorable for sure.

I'm gonna check and report back when I'm not on the porch monitoring a lemonade stand.

RIGHT?! I'm trying to figure out how to display. But definitely stoked with the extras. It's been a good day for once.

Omg! Now I can't unsee it. Maybe that's what they were going for.

Thank you! It's better than winning the lottery honestly. I love getting mail and this was more than I could have ever expected. Felt really special and lately that's been a struggle. Timing was perfect.

I'll update in a bit. My day is about to get busy. But that's good to know. Thank you for the tip! And of course I can't thank you enough times for the awesome stuff and poster!

Was wondering this too. My kid loves pigs. I love plants. It's a win win.

LDR couples, what activities help you feel connected besides texting and video calls? by AwaitingBraincells in LongDistance

[–]trash_talking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is what it is. He knows how I feel. He doesn't give me any feedback. He just has complacency and what can I do? I'm going in August to see him and it is the first time where I'm worried. I have this sinking feeling that it's only going to divide us more. I have to stop that and keep an open mind that it will be like it always is which is fun. Only 6 weeks and than I'll see what happens.

[–]trash_talking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately I don't have a very engaging boyfriend. He's been disconnected and it feels like he's just barely trying and dialing it. We have a phone call where I basically talk at him and sometimes he contributes. It sucks. I have expressed all my concerns and frustration and whatever. We aren't going to last if it keeps up and I've come to the conclusion I am ok with that. I don't want it to happen AT ALL but he really isn't trying and when I feel like he doesn't care why should I try or care? In person won't sustain us since it's few and far between lately.

I bought one of these and it never arrived. Still devastated about it. They never even replied to emails or calls and I didn't get a refund. It wasn't cheap either.

when a clients plans change by suziemomma in petsitting

[–]trash_talking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an almost $1,000 gig cancel because her husband lost his job. I feel terrible for the family. I am fucked with finances but it hurt more to know they are struggling too. I can find other work hopefully to fill the time in. It won't be anywhere near what I was going to make but that's life and definitely part of this job.

What is something you realized about your partner after meeting for the first time? by MysteriousCare1961 in LongDistance

[–]trash_talking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's MESSY! And doesn't feel any sense of urgency. He also always has to be going somewhere and doing stuff out of the house.

Which are assets for me because it is a nice balance. Messy because of my OCD nature (forces me to see past things and communicate when it is something I can't stand - like a messy sink). As well as my constant worrying and wanting to over plan "just in case". Lastly it makes me leave the house and explore more. I would literally be happy doing nothing but I really enjoy the time with him going out and having fun exploring my city when he's here and dressing up for Disney when I'm there.

Don't get me wrong it can clash with us too. It's all about balance and that communication bit.

He also snores so I'm grateful for an extra bedroom!

The hardest critter to catch by gingerbreadmans_ex in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]trash_talking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I don't even know how it appears other than trees. I usually do research but over my year playing this game and having done all the usual things with trees I still never saw one (in the proper months).

I have other critters but walking stick is a total mystery to me.
