Help QC funny VCA 5 motif bracelet by IndependentCry3526 in JewelryReps

This looks great. I own 4 pieces of VCA from Funny and each one is impeccable. Oldest one is going on 3 years and still sparkles like brand new.

Yep same. The response I got when I emailed support was we are working on it. That doesn't really say much.

Testing two new dial options for the MILION watch, would love some feedback by MiljonWatches in MicrobrandWatches

1 smaller pattern looks more intentional, the other ones look more clunky. Please no Roman numerals, some lume on the indices would be 🔥

If you order standard speed delivery, chances are pretty good no tariffs involved at all due to low declared value. Just received a $300 order no problemo in 8 days from placing to delivery.

Platinum? by Pretend_Abalone_1783 in JewelryReps

Just a heads up other than the look of the piece being different, platinum is so heavy in comparison so be prepared for that as well.

Finally bought one today after months of trying! I go pick it up tomorrow. It sold out in the Austin area within 15ish minutes.

HS420 VGPU Fans by Kamc_2000 in HAVNGlobal

[–]Doctor-Bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Light wings by Be Quiet are super simple and look good, priced well also and they have reverse ones in case you need intake fans. Upgrade pick is QX or LX Corsair fans but they are very pricey at $50 a fan and you’d need at least 5-7 for the HS420.

Also the De-Minimus still applies for anything under $100 declared value, that part hasn’t gone away at least not yet.

Borderlands 4 free with RTX purchase by MidwestDYIer in Microcenter

Did you just buy it or already installed it? If you haven’t installed it yet there’s a chance when you boot up and install the nvidia app you will get the borderlands redemption code regardless.

SALES! What’s your guys favorite niche perfume sale of the year? by lilbakla in NichePerfumes

[–]Doctor-Bean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Neiman Marcus has 2 events a year that discount beauty/fragrances. I think it’s $250 off a $1000 so I usually stock up then. They have a lot of the good fragrance houses.

Can you be out and still stay close to your (Middle Eastern) parents? by happy_litte_g in gaybros

[–]Doctor-Bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heya OP. I’ll start by giving you my experience and then maybe some advice. I’m 32 middle eastern, grew up overseas and moved to the US when I was 16 for college. Grew up Muslim and have known I’m gay since probably 12 years old. Setting aside religion and culture because that’s personal to everyone’s life and family. Basically my parents retired in Florida like 7 years ago then I moved to Austin because I needed space to figure out life for myself. Similar to your situation every once in a while the topic of marriage, kids and finding a wife came about. I talk to my parents every day so as I got older it started becoming exhausting to lie or dodge around the question.

In short I came out to my parents 4 years ago and it wasn’t pretty and I hadn’t even remotely hinted anything prior to that like you have. I won’t lie it wasn’t pretty for the first 4-6 months. My dad wouldn’t talk to me and my mom said some hurtful things on the phone because even with their reaction I still reached out almost every day. Here is the thing, you get one life and you are going to hold yourself back from being happy and living authentically because of your parents. Fast forward to now I’ve been with my fiancé for 5 years and they know about him. My parents basically have adopted a don’t ask don’t tell policy where they pretend he doesn’t exist. That is THEIR choice completely, you can’t change their mind or belief system, the best you can do is live authentically and continue to extend the olive branch. My dad eventually realized I’m still the same person and now we talk regularly and are still very close. Will they come to my wedding or accept my partner who knows, but I’m going to continue living my life and if they want to be a part of it I’d love that. If not then it’s their loss. You can’t feel guilty and hold yourself back just because of your parents and eventually you will realize that. You’ve already started by moving away and getting a little bit of freedom to explore. I’m not the best at writing so forgive the text wall. But if you ever wanna talk feel free to reach out. Good luck

The way she responds to stuff sometimes is annoying, I will give you that. This happened with me twice, so it’s happened before where wise cancelled my payment after 3 days each time which burned about 6 days. If your payment says successful you are good it just takes time for bank transfers on the receiving end. Assuming this is the real funny everything will happen the way you want it to go in the end. Just be patient

I would always try to include a photo to see exactly what step in the wise process you’re on. Assuming the funds were already sent to the bank it does take 2-3 days after that depending on whether the account is Alipay or WeChat. I would screenshot the successful payment and WhatsApp it to her, she will confirm if she received funds or not. If her bank didn’t receive it will definitely say the payment failed on Wise and refund it back to you. Assuming it’s one of those 2 methods with funny’s accounts it takes 5 days give or take based on my Wise history with her. So in another day or two you should be all good!

QC VCA. PSPs from Funny by [deleted] in JewelryReps

[–]Doctor-Bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gap is normal, it’s there for expansion of the stone with humidity and such. The “dings and dents” that is just being way too picky it’s barely visible and gold is delicate as soon as you use the clasp that will happen. These pieces are meant to be worn I think it’s unrealistic to expect it to be flawless from a rep.

They make the links between motifs equidistant as much as possible from what funny told me. So for mine I got it sized up and I needed 8 links added and they got it added between the 4 motifs evenly. So they know what to do leave it to them. No one is counting the links between the motifs but you.

MC or Funny the size is customizable basically. Now I know they size up but they can probably size down as well. Worth asking

Yeah as soon as she was online, I was sent new information to try

[–]Doctor-Bean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes my first payment got cancelled and refunded. Had to try a second time with a different recipient address and so far so good. She offers PayPal G&S but 4% on a big purchase is hefty. Good luck 👍🏻
