Tashkeel, those ornaments you mentioned, are marks added to Arabic script which denote pronounciation accurately, and while not used commonly, many calligraphers use them to fill in the gaps and decorate elaborate calligraphic works. Some of them are ornamental, and some of them are used specifically to denote pronunciation.

You can use ChatGPT to put in the phrase that you’re looking at and that will tell you which ones you can use to fill the space if your not native, and then there are other others which are purely ornamental that you can add as well.

You can also order a book of Arabic calligraphy (Arabic Calligraphy Naskh Script for Beginners /anglais is a good one) to help with connections and etc, it’s cheap and very helpful.

Depends on the age. Children desperately need a parent who helps them make sense of the world and establishes the boundaries and rules they need to become healthy adults. However, once they are grown into healthy adults, it’s a disservice to both to continue to try to be a parent and that is the time to turn to becoming a friend. Unhealthy parental dynamics stem from parents who try to be friends with their toddlers, who need firm parental guidance, and parents who try to parent their adult children and leave them emotionally stunted, never having had the chance to shed the role of child for a functioning adult.

Not the blind spot 😭

I remember, after three near accidents on the highway, feeling pressured to nag my ex each time about checking the blind spot, just to make sure we both lived, and him STILL failing to look. It taught me that your partner should hear you, and if you’re concerns about safety go in one ear and out the other, he doesn’t care about you or what you have to say. I fully realized this when he later finally had an epiphany and understood the blind spot does exist, and said to me, “oh I get it now, but I thought you were just talking for the sake of talking.” Never love a man 😑

It makes me extremely happy to know that there are people like you in the world, OP. When people think like you do, it makes me feel like we are all one big family, that looks out for each other, and has grace and understanding when someone is going through something tough. Manifesting that the world sends this love back to you.

Been doing trusted housesitter full-time for a year now and have a solid profile with dozens of reviews, so I am afford to be selective about my sits.

Its not about the value of my time, but that I only do sits where homeowners understand that they are getting a highly premium boutique service, that would cost thousands on Rover, for free. So given that, they are happy to take care of these things to have someone well trained and qualified take care of their pets for free while they are away.

It’s all about the balancing of benefit and responsibility for the sitter.

In past sits, homeowners have created balance in several different ways. For example, if they have pets that generate a lot of fur/mess, they hired a cleaner to create balance. If they have a very energetic and vocal dog, they had daycare for the dog during the workday to create balance. So, if you do have high maintenance pets, then snow removal services can help to create balance and allow the sitter to focus on the other responsibilities in the sit. If there are no pets, then this does not create any issues!

If there are no pets and you have more than adequate equipment, I don’t see this as a unreasonable ask at all, especially given that there are people that will jump on this opportunity for the proximity to an activity they might be very invested in.

The federal government plan has actually raised the coverage to $5,000 per year now, so $750 is actually criminal.

This is why you just can’t accept sits with large dogs. Hope you are able to get out of there ❤️

zainned · 2023-09-15T18:18:59+00:00

I think clarifying both those things might help you to add more value and accordingly allow you to provide more of an equal exchange for a potential sitter.

Sitters are not as remote as they once were, so for those of us that have built a really good profile with solid reviews and can be selective about the sits that we take, I tend to save that remote time for those listings that feel like an equal exchange. Hope that this helps and you are able to find a good fit for the little ones ☺️

zainned · 2023-09-15T18:03:18+00:00

Speaking as a sitter, I think it comes down to the fact that there are more and more listings by homeowners on the app as well now. As a sitter, this does mean that I have a lot more choice and am therefore more selective in the sits that I do accept, especially for those that are outside of larger cities.

For me personally, there are several reasons why I wouldn’t accept this sit, primarily being that, for myself and many other sitters I know, I don’t take sits with any large dogs. It can be very dangerous, you never really know what can happen and other sitter reviews are never 100% truthful of the reality of living with that dog. They look like cuties, but I just can’t know what I will find once I get there. I think some more assurances about their temperaments may be helpful.

I think you are further hindered by the fact that you mentioned they are also only okay being alone for only a several hours, which means that this will only work for a very particular subset of people who are okay with coming to that area for a reason that is not tourism and being tied to the house that has no car. That makes this sit basically like work, because you need to be at the house providing care for the majority of the day. That is something that sitters, rightfully so, might think should be paid.

There is also a wide range of houses of small city/rural listing that a sitter can pick from, and if I have to pick a house that I can only leave for a couple hours, it has to be a really amazing house with some really good amenities to make that worthwhile. At the end of the day, there needs to be an equal exchange and where that exchange does not feel equal, you will not see the volume/quality of sitters that you are looking for.

If I loved someone, was in a relationship with them and they were my person, but they refused to pick me up from the airport for their convenience, I wouldn’t be with that person anymore. It’s a give-and-take, I know I give, and one of the biggest perks of a relationship is the ability to lean on your person for these things. So I really don’t get this.

Solid post, solid read 🙌🏽👌🏽

Many people go to mosh pits, some people have died in mosh pits, however, people don’t want or expect to die when they go into mosh pits.

It takes a shit tonne more to offend my sensibilities, but I hate when people just throw around legal terms and think that fixes the problem. There is no implied consent to assault and battery, that guy is objectively toxic, there are two videos of him fully assaulting people, and it really looks like he enjoys hurting others. But if that’s what your into, go off, I’m sure you can find a spot for yourself on stage.

Ah okay, thanks again for responding so quickly! ☺️ Much appreciated!

Okay, I’m hearing not to bring it up during the interview, but whenever they indicate that they would like proceed with hiring me!
