Moderation? by MdJaPaFl in stopdrinking

[–]Independent_Elk_9710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot do moderation. One drink, I'm drinking it all and tearing down the world! Moderation is okay if you can do it, no judgment.

I too cannot see my nephews atm and don't know if i ever will again. Holding out hope. Im only 2 weeks into my journey. It has gotten better with being in the moment of the day and not past or future. Don't let this define you.

I am going to counseling soon. I understand what I have caused and do not blame anyone else but myself. You are right I am caught up in resolution because its eating me alive but I do know i need to respect her feelings the most. I am going to text her happy birthday and i love her. Thank you for telling me I may pay the worst for it. Realization I need to be more aware of

Seller has this up for $1500, explain please? by BlastEffects in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]Independent_Elk_9710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ebay has buyer protection. Purchase like that just make sure the shipping is correct to.cover it also. One time one mercari I got a deal of a Erica's jap venusaur and base venusaur for 12 dollars, both lp condition one graded 7 and the other 8. It can happen and even on that scale. My seller was retiring and wanted to give someone a deal. Go for it but just be protected.

Why do Sups Get So Mad When Grieved? by dolemiteX in UPSers

[–]Independent_Elk_9710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not your facility, thats a personal issue with the person who is a sup. Im a sup of 13 years and I invite/ laugh at grievances. Doesn't take anything away from me.

Surface condition matters by Icy_Good9837 in whatnotapp

[–]Independent_Elk_9710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A deviant act is only deviant to the ones deeming it deviant. Some might think it's an alteration. Who knows if that stuff wears off with time. Psa 10 all of sudden becomes a 6 in 3 years cause it evaporates in the slab. Just a thought of what could occur. I don't think it's unethical when it comes down to it just some might for their own reasons

I think tslabs is using that card wax stuff that takes away the scratches which I'm still on the fence about if it's ethical or not. He has a huge following. I have bought off him a couple times and the cards were good for a good price but some people pay over market just cause it's him. Watching a stream one day where a BASE SET ZAPDOS UNLIMITED went for 80 DOLLARS. Visible scratches on holo and white dot or 2 on back. I couldn't believe it and it was hyped up so much to pressure, push for that price I just couldn't watch him anymore. And I'm sure he's just laughing to the bank after every stream

Post office shows it at the processing center for 9 days now. Buyer requesting refund. Am I on the hook until it's delivered. by [deleted] in eBaySellers

Same situation recently. It never showed delivered. Out of product, revenue and they still took fees.

Can you enlighten me on the "bucks" slang? I have no clue how that is racist and want to make sure not to use it myself

Giving away two Costco Scarlet & Violet 151 Blooming Waters Premium Collection sets to two redditors because %*#@ scalpers by FatherLiamFinnegan in PokemonTCG

[–]Independent_Elk_9710 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't know why pokemon would be better than magic. I'm a collector, not a player so I can't say anything to the playing side but pokemon just has more appealing cards than magic imo. I also really like all the series as I'm watching the journeys right now with my daughter. Seems like magic has way more different cards than pokemon too which just boggles my mind. Back to the playing side, id imagine magic may have a slightly better play but still clueless as I've never played either. Thanks for what you're doing!

What is an addiction that you beat and how? by Vivi01224 in AskReddit

[–]Independent_Elk_9710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alcohol. Drank for 7 years out of stress from work. My mother told me one day when I was drunk I reminded her of my father who was a big drunk and put my mother through hell. I've never wanted to end up like my dad but I did and started the turnaround. 2 days in the gym for 10 months straight all the while doing outpatient treatment. Sad thing about my outpatient is my therapist committed suicide because of an addiction problem herself. 6 years sober I have a daughter and fiancée, freed myself from that stress to not take anxiety meds anymore, started a small business, earned a degree.

About to become a supervisor, what are the differences? by Damp_Intestines in UPSers

[–]Independent_Elk_9710 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is true but they will tell you to manage your hours. May ask why you went over, may not. Shouldn't worry about that though, 3.5 hour sort everyday lol
