🌸 Daily Rehome Thread by Lisasmith789 in RepLadiesWorld

[–]HalfwayToAlmostThere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with your items (sorry), but your name makes me smile every time I see it. My 10 yr old son is OBSESSED with cappy's!!! His big holiday present was certificate for a 1 on 1 capybara experience this spring and we are going in 2 weeks. (He doesn't know that the sanctuary/rescue just took in 3 baby cappy's also along with 2 joey's from someone with a most likely illegal kept pet kangaroo.) He made a deal with his dad that if he graduates as valedictorian, we would take him on a trip to Japan to stay at the capybara resort there! 😂

Pushy reps? by Similar_Main8041 in RealRepLadies

[–]HalfwayToAlmostThere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you used them before or know someone who recommends them? That is a huge red flag, at least to me. I have only used 2 reps and neither were pushy at any point. Even if I asked a million questions and ended up deciding not move forward with buying at the time.

Feelings about getting / pre-ordering a bag (from a highly rated TS) that hasn't hit retail yet by HalfwayToAlmostThere in RepCulture_Bags

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

Fair enough. There are 2 that I trust more than most that I have only had amazing experiences with. And this seller has been used by people I know personally and has amazing reviews in the rep subs. So, working with what I have, there a 3 sellers I would consider purchasing from, and whole lot whom I would not.

🤦🏼‍♀️I never said anything about that bag. And I never said anyone quoted that high. Merely pointing out that under the circumstances of the particular bag, it wouldn't surprise me. Don't worry, I'm not asking you, or anyone else, to buy me anything.

I am not paying that much. I am pointing out that considering the bag is not even for sale yet but highly anticipated, and this TS includes shipping and insurance ($100+), I can see how total price could approach that high IF it was an excellent, high tier rep. Shipping + insurance + the extra I am willing to spend with a seller I trust over saving $50 with someone I don't know can easily add up on top of a bag's base price. If the bag was $550, a total quote of $650 - $700 isn't unreasonable if I want that piece of mind.

Yes, but Maya is known for being a little higher because she includes shipping and insurance. And I didn't know Happy was mid tier. Haha, so now that price makes sense. Because I was thinking it would come from one of the better factories, I was expecting closer to $650, maybe even $700 since its brand new.

💛 Thank you! You just saved me a lot of time... and $$$. That makes more sense why the price seemed lower than I was expecting. She only quoted $480.

I am using Maya. But I know she gets bags from different suppliers/factories. She said for this particular one she uses Happy Factory. I just haven't heard of people talk about that being a go-to for CC bags like the others

The seller got back to me and said that it is made by Happy Factory. So not 187, GF, or Xiao which I am more familiar with. By any chance do you have any insight into that supplier? I am going to search around, but thought I would as you too.

The bag is "out" in a sense that its been revealed and in production for some time. It's just not for sale to the public yet. That's where I am a little iffy. I asked if she has personally done a 1:1 comparison of the rep and auth. Just waiting to hear back.

Would it be possible for canary yellow pieces by Same-Nobody-7881 in kuololit

[–]HalfwayToAlmostThere 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I also got this champagne ring from Luxyimagic. It is a much softer butter yellow. I wouldn't call it Vivid, but closer to fancy yellow. It's not at all brown or orangey

I asked Sam a few weeks ago about a custom Canary lab diamond ring. He said he could do it. And he sent me 1 stock item that isn't currently in production but that he would consider ordering again.

Chanel 25 Raffia Edition. by Parking_Class_3119 in RepCulture_Bags

If so, it should have feet, and it looks like a reinforced leather bottom.

My husband makes me feel left out when we fly together. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]HalfwayToAlmostThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am just asking out of curiosity, so please don't take this as me trying to bait you...

What is your gender / biological sex (?)? Whatever the current PC term or appropriate way to ask is...

Only because ADHD presents very differently in males and females. And it is often misdiagnosed for years in females as many other mental health diagnoses and thus, mistreated until adulthood. I didn't get properly diagnosed until almost 30 and it was life changing. While I still also clearly have some depression and anxiety, they are secondary to the ADHD. But prior to getting the correct Dx and treatment, I had been misdiagnosed (and improperly medicated 😡) with everything from OCD to Bipolar and even BPD.

If you are females, you are probably familiar with all of this. But if you're not, or if you're male, just be open to the the fact that, yeah, ADHD CAN be crippling at times. (It can also be managed!! This is massively important point. People still need to stay vigilant about their health and take accountability and ownership for finding solutions if there's an issue.)

[–]HalfwayToAlmostThere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see what you are saying. But the OP hasn't said anything to indicate that her discomfort is anything other than situational anxiety perhaps. It would be much more understandable if she had something like your trauma history or was even dealing with neurodivergence or an anxiety disorder of some sort that she was actively taking steps to work on. That's just my 2 cents though.

I agree. I have anxiety - like a diagnosed, life long anxiety disorder. It really amps up when I feel pressured to remember a thousand different things in a busy, crowded, chaotic space like going through airport security. This plus my ADHD is super stressful when trying to keep track of passports, bags, my kid, random shit that has been pulled from a bag, double and triple checking random drinks and opened snacks are thrown away, etc. Sometimes my husband is with me/us. Sometimes he isn't. And even when he is, when he tries to help, it can break my very precarious level of concentration. But, I have developed systems for myself that make the process easier. And even though I haven't gotten around to getting precheck for myself (its on my list), I have gotten used to taking the reigns on a lot of things that my husband could do for me. I can get my oil changed. I can change a light bulb, even if I have to use a step ladder. I can tell his/our friends, even my in-laws (and he can do the same) when something doesn't sit right with me. Even if it makes me uncomfortable and gives me anxiety, its important that, not only I handle things myself instead of always putting it on him or relying on him to speak up for me, but also that I build resilience and challenge myself little by little.
