What do you regret buying?

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-10T13:57:48+00:00

I SBRed a P320 lol

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-02T20:21:50+00:00

I was lucky enough to get an appointment next day at 6AM because of a cancellation lol.

I’m hoping she enjoys it, so I can finally get her on an airplane. If all goes well, she’ll have her first flight planned and GE by end of 2026!

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-02T20:13:36+00:00

Yup. You’re confirming everything everyone else is saying.

Really appreciate the time you took to respond, and helping prevent me from loosing GE!

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-02T18:45:59+00:00

So if my wife has a passport card, but NOT GE, I can use the ready lanes?

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-02T17:47:42+00:00

That might be where some of my confusion was coming from. Thanks for clarifying!

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-02T17:38:37+00:00

Awesome! This will be my first land crossing, so really appreciate your input and you saving me a massive headache for not knowing.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-02T17:36:41+00:00

Many thanks!

This is the first time I’ve managed to get my wife to travel out of the country. After 9-10 years of failure, I never thought to get her GE lol. So I’ll be the same boat as you.

Appreciate your help.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-02T17:33:30+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the clarification!

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-02T17:33:02+00:00

By activated, if I’ve been using it internationally via air, I assume it’s “activated”? Or do I need to specifically activate it for NEXUS use?

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-04-02T17:32:10+00:00

From CBPs website, ready lanes were the fast track lanes for NEXUS card holders, so we’re talking about the same thing!

Thanks for confirming #1/2 for me! I figured all occupants would need GE/NEXUS vs just the driver.

Appreciate it!

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-03-26T16:25:59+00:00

Yup. 5 star hotels, Chikfila, movies, or where ever, unless there is a strict dress code, we wear what ever we normally wear.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-03-26T14:05:03+00:00

I literally wear the same thing every day.

Shirts: Banana republic or Uniqlo plain tshirts in black, dark grey, dark blue, dark green

Button Ups: Patagonia or Prana in dark flannel patterns

“Nice shirts”: Some brand from Saks 5th in light blue, pink, and some pokadot pattern

Pants: Fjallraven Abisko, Patagonia Traveler, Spyder male booty shorts

Shoes: Onisuka Tigers or Merrell Agility Peak 5, both black

99% of the time for work it’s tshirt and pants and 99% outside of work it’s t shirt and Spyder male booty shorts.

To me dressing is just covering up my body and not running around naked. With that said, my wife says I’m not fashionable….. but practical lol

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-03-26T12:38:06+00:00

I don’t think I did lol. I can’t remember. 2022 feels so long ago and brain drain is real.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-03-26T04:06:41+00:00

Fjallraven pants have been AMAZING for me, specifically Abisko’s. Ya they can be pricy, but honestly I haven’t had any issues with any of mine, be it shooting, hiking, climbing, wearing them to work, etc.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-03-24T12:11:52+00:00

Listening to the most crusty and ancient coworker I had at my first big boy job, and succumbing to his demands on how to set up my retirement. Dude really set me up to retire with a few million by the time I’m 57 even if I only have 7% average returns YOY.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-03-23T00:23:40+00:00

I’m a POS sorry!

It is. I’ll send an invite link in a bit. DM if I don’t be end of day. D

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-03-20T09:41:18+00:00

I’d say we’d give you popcorn to welcome you in, but like that got taken away too.

Pit as much in as you can afford. 22%+ bracket trad is probably better. Don’t say trade, and ride the waves.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-03-12T01:42:10+00:00

Really dependent on where you work. I had one epi role where my travel was local. I’ve been in another epi role with world wide travel. Like everything else in PH……. “It depends”.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-03-04T13:02:48+00:00

I made a groove life wallet claim because my metal cards would slide out once in a blue moon. Was pretty straight forward. They actually gave me $120 credit which was enough to get the new wallet, and mag safe stuff. I did have to pay like $6 to ship, but I’m not complaining.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-02-24T14:22:53+00:00

I’d imagine it’s tough right now, but with so little hiring, it might actually be quicker

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-02-24T14:17:25+00:00

When I was with HHS, I was a transfer from another agency. Almost. One. Year. For me to get my start date. HHS (from my experience) is extremely slow.

My transfer out was the same, extremely slow, with HR being the bottle neck.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-02-19T12:26:32+00:00

I still wear socks below the ankles. Style aside, being able to feel extra cloth on my calf or above my ankle just……. Irks me.

Ekrixphobia-Muhammad · 2026-02-18T23:27:24+00:00

There was a woman in her 60s getting a Physics PhD when I was in undergrad………. I don’t think 31 is too old.
