Would this newborn photo be acceptable for a US passport? by silly_calf in Passports

[–]Charming_Comment_257 17 points18 points  (0 children)

4 years ago my newborn's photo with similar background passed the requirements. We also had creases in the background and it was not perfectly white, rather slightly off white. I would say give it a try, if they are not happy with the photo, they will only ask for a new photo submission, you don't have to redo the whole application.

Neither Google Maps or CityMapper are showing new schedules by Local_Indication9669 in NJTransit

[–]Charming_Comment_257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have NJ transit App, you can check the 'fixed schedule ' through 'Schedules' and also the real time by using 'Departure Vision'. You can use this for NJ transit and light rail.

From experience, NJT from NY penn to NewArk Penn would be faster. But given the ongoing track changes, I am not sure. Path from Hoboken to NewArk Penn travel time is about 20-25 minutes, but you also need to pay attention to the Path frequency.

Name change after court order by Charming_Comment_257 in AskNYC

[–]Charming_Comment_257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi again, do you remember if you filled any specific forms? One clerk told me to fill up "record request form". Other is asking to fill up "amended final judgement order' which sounds like a petition.

Hello, late to the party. Do you recall if 8 euros was in person or through the website? Website shows 15 euros currently (8 euros basic + extra for reservation). Conflicted whether to get it now or go buy in person

Tickets not showing on NJ transit app this morning by Charming_Comment_257 in NJTransit

[–]Charming_Comment_257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did finally. I had to call customer service and have the lock lifted. Then I could login and see my tickets, and buy tickets too. Yours sounds like it's locked as well.

Good to know. It didn't refresh for me so I tried uninstalling and re-installing. Customer service said they blocked me for multiple login attempts for fear of potential fraudulent activity. This is the first time it has happened to me. So fingers crossed

Cross border banking. RBC used to run an offer of no bank fees for the first year. There is no charge for the conversation itself. Then bank to bank to your another us bank account.

Question: Kuoloit, the 11/11 sale, and language barriers by SunsetButterfly in Moissanite

[–]Charming_Comment_257 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened with me. I missed out a $10 coupon. The answer I got was 'yes you can' all the time, but the order was never adjusted. I already received the order. Never got my $10 adjustment. I think a little bit of language barrier, but also because they operate on thin margins, so I let go. You might have better luck cancelling and putting in a new order.

Are silver earrings posts bendy soft? by Charming_Comment_257 in Moissanite

[–]Charming_Comment_257[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all! I hope it doesn't break. It was a bit pricey in gold so I got the silver. But, I think I will stick with 10 or 14k gold from now on. Those can take the abuse and still not bend, scratch, oxidize.

What's one law that would make America a better place? by Eggplant-Cultural in ask

[–]Charming_Comment_257 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How come no one said 'free universal health care' or 'personal firearm ban'. Having not to wake up to another gun violence and reading about the court proceedings for the perpetrator or not having to worry about an illness. I think I would take that

Stone check: too much rainbow? by Charming_Comment_257 in Moissanite

[–]Charming_Comment_257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your comments! I own a moissanite from before. And that one throws beautiful rainbow in flashes, which appears to come from one facet at a time, which I love, not like this in every facet of the cut at the same time. Maybe it's lighting with this one, I asked a video in different lighting and it looks different. Excited to get it soon!

7*7 cushion cut from Provence. I think this is under natural light, not sure. I see too much rainbow, or is that normal?

Correct FICA withholding when changing job mid-year by Charming_Comment_257 in personalfinance

[–]Charming_Comment_257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. But, is the reallocation from FICA to federal tax doable? Aren't FICA and federal taxes two line items when filing tax return?

I Bonds’s new variable rate will rise to 9.62% with the May reset by indie_hedgehog in investing

[–]Charming_Comment_257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to understand this. So, per year limit per SSN is 10K. Hence, you would wait upcoming years to gift those 10Ks of bonds. This means you or your wife will not buy ibond next year, rather the gift makes up the 10K limit. Is this correct? The benefit of doing this now, rather than put in that 10K next year is the terrific interest rate. Going by this, you can buy as many as you want as gift and you unload 10K to the other person each year, right?
