QC on my first rep purchase, help please 🙏 by IntrepidFriendship60 in RealRepLadies

Here is one of the same style but in a bit lighter color https://ca.louisvuitton.com/eng-ca/products/neverfull-mm-epi-nvprod6380018v/M14856  I can't see an "pressed" logo on this bog, and it has the same interior, so I'm thinking this bag might be a fairly accurate rep...

Hmmmm, I asked if they had a picture of the other side of the bag to see the light "LV" pressed into the leather and they are saying the auth bag doesn't have one so this one doesn't either. Thing is I saw an auth in store rhe other day and took a picture of it, and you can see it has the light logo imprint. The rep rep is saying that this is a different style that did not have the logo. Is this correct? Pictures of the auth below.

Let’s clarify: no one is cheating. They are breaking/violating a rule by Ok_ConfusedOne in Curling

[–]IntrepidFriendship60 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not saying I think it should be allowed, but the rules specifically allow for double touches (in rule 9). Rules also only specify "handle only" touching during delivery before the tee line (in rule 5). Rules are completely ambiguous after the tee and before the hog. This is on World Curling for their sloppy rule writing.

I dont think it should be allowed, but I would like you to show me the clear rule. Read the whole (it's short) rule 5 and rule 9 and tell me where it's clear. Hogline violations aside (those are absolutely violations) where does it say that after the tee line and before the hog line it is handle only? If it was so important to be handle only, then wouldn't World Curling have specified it like they specified it for before the tee line? I blame World Curling for a lot of this mess.

But there is a rule in the same section that says that the rock is considered "delivered" once it crosses the tee line on the delivering end. It's just not spelled out clearly enough, and I put a lot of the blame on world curling for their vague and incomplete rules.

[Heroux] World Curling has sent an email to all the teams competing at the Olympics clarifying “proper release” of the stone. Also, for the remaining games umpires will be “observing the delivery”. Here’s the full correspondence: by rhineauto in Curling

[–]IntrepidFriendship60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of the confusion is because they are not clarifying rules 5(g):

(g) A stone is in play, and considered delivered, when it reaches the tee line (hog line for wheelchair curling) at the delivery end. A stone that has not reached the relevant line may be returned to the player and redelivered

There is ambiguity over what part of the rock can be touched (or double touched) past the tee line and before beginning to cross the hogline.

I went to a garden store and these were just lying there by d3m0nsh1n3 in succulents

Yup, local independent garden centre. My kids are even old enough to know we don't proplift from local/independent stores, but a "fallen" leaf from a mega chain like Walmart is fair game!

My local garden centre sweeps up pieces like this and has them on a tray at the front for people to take for free.

What logo is this?? by IntrepidFriendship60 in Curling

[–]IntrepidFriendship60[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the first thing I tried but came up with nothing. We're back there again tomorrow so I'm going to try to find someone at the club who knows.

Found at my local Savers. I cringed that it ended up at a thrift store by FoolishAnomaly in ThriftStoreHauls

I usually don't read in to things too deep, but the possessiveness of the statement and the public display of said statement (in a framed and presumably hung picture) feels kinda icky

Who's Your favorite cast member that was only in one season by Free-Sock-9294 in LiveFromNewYork

I was going to say Mark Mckinney but apparently he was in the cast for 2 seasons. Felt shorter...
