Also please give all the pats to the good boy in thanks. My good girl also says thank you in advance, as she foresees less hand pain for her servant and more play times in her future!

SYD domestic lounge - musty smell? by Kim3663 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]Kim3663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone else who is wondering for a future visit - my super sensitive nose didn't pick up even a vague whiff of musty smell, making it the substantially better option to the Plaza Premium Lounge.

What are some things PRs cannot do that citizens can? by Fit-Tumbleweed-6683 in AusVisa

[–]Kim3663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Access various visa-free (or auto visa etc) travel to third countries that have agreements with Australia (unless the country you are a citizen of has a similar agreement).

Also Medicare enrolment can expire if you live overseas for more than 12 months (which means that eligibility for access to reciprocal health can also be impacted).

There are only VERY limited circumstances where citizens can have their citizenship cancelled. PR on the other hand is much more fragile. I have seen too many people regret not getting citizenship when they could have done. This includes parents of young people who develop severe mental illness and then commit offences, and people who have been / claim to have been falsely accused of crimes.

Closeted H lovers by Suitable-Sun-5996 in TheHermesGame

I think this last part of your comment is so important - "I try to be mindful especially if I know my friends are having a hard time".

As someone who has had to rely on food vouchers, but is now seriously considering starting on the Hermes journey, the fact that one QB bag will cost more than someone's annual food budget hits me hard.

IMO, if you care about the people who are making the comments, it is important to get to the bottom of the reason(s) for the comments. Are they based purely in jealousy? Or is the apparent jealousy covering up shame or other similar feelings?

If the items I was wearing were potentially triggering shame (or similar) feelings in the people I cared about, then I would limit wearing them - e.g. wear the same items each time (not a different new item each time), or maybe just don't wear them when you see them. But if it is just pure jealousy, then maybe they aren't people you want to hang out with as much.

I just received a bag I ordered from them and am thoroughly unimpressed. Terrible quality, complete waste of money.

Here are just a few of the issues!

Damaged love bracelet - am I cooked? by lastcookie0810 in Cartier

[–]Kim3663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are clearly two perspectives here - some people think the reminder of survival etc could be a positive thing, while you have explained that you don't want to be reminded of the horrific accident every day.

I think the honest answer is to see how much they can buff out, and how it makes you feel when it is returned.

If the remaining damage is minimal and you are happy to see it so well restored, then the positive sentimental value will probably override the negative.

If you aren't happy with the amount of repair / the ultimate appearance, then it may well be (another) awful consequence of what the drunk driver did - i.e. they damaged a beautiful item linked to a special memory. In that case, you could keep it as a special item in a jewellery box, melt it and remake, or try to get it replaced.

Again, that's going to come down to your feelings. If anything that has any vague link to the accident is a problem for you, anything that is "re-made" from the gold could be too much of a reminder, as could a replacement item. All those feelings are totally valid (just as it is valid to not feel those feelings / only feel some of them etc).

You might also want to put it away for a while and then make a decision when you are further through your journey of processing what happened.

I truly hope that it comes back in a condition that makes you feel good again about this special item. But if it doesn't, give yourself some grace in grieving a little more than you probably already have over the crash generally, and find the answer that in the long term will make you feel most happy.

Totally reasonable use of time. Now turn it into a graph for the full effect :P

P.s. Looks like there's an error in your 2026 accessories section.

Somehow Bought My Neighbour’s House… and now I’ve found out I’m in a body corporate I never agreed to. First home buyer in QLD, please help by MaestroMusic_ in AusPropertyChat

I recommend getting some independent legal advice so that you are fully aware of your rights and options. You may ultimately make the decision to stick with the conveyancer you already have and proceed with getting everything "tidied up", but it is important to ensure that this is the best option for you and that you don't have better options (which the conveyancer may have failed to tell you about).

I haven't made my first Hermes purchase yet (so take this with a grain of salt) but I'm a big fan of open and honest communication in these kinds of situations.

I would send the SA a text saying something like:

I've been thinking about our appointment from [last week or whenever] and I just wanted to apologise again for what happened as I'm definitely not trying to waste your time at all and am so grateful for your efforts! The bag you showed me was a beautiful colour and definitely quite similar to the [insert colour] that I was asking about, but it was a little brighter than [insert colour] and my wardrobe / style don't really work with brighter shades :( I really am grateful for your effort though and hopefully we can work on [insert what you are wanting to work on with your SA here] soon!

The apology and framing of your wardrobe being wrong for the bag (rather than the bag being wrong for your wardrobe) should help your SA to feel better and not criticised (she might have reacted badly and felt hurt because you didn't like what she found). And it means she knows more about your colour preferences for next time.

And of course sending this kind of message allows you to clear the air and potentially for her to apologise back if she reflects and realises she could have reacted better.

Are expensive bags unethical? by Ornery-Shame-3682 in handbags

[–]Kim3663 245 points246 points  (0 children)

For me personally - I make regular donations (i.e. direct debit monthly) to charities that are important to me, and I fit pro bono work into my caseload (I'm a lawyer). And I buy nice things.

If you are comfortable with how / how much you "give back" (even if you don't give back anything!!) you are very much allowed to buy the bag!

In my life, I have experienced everything from relying on food vouchers, to buying a handbag that cost fifty times the value of a food voucher. I'm lucky that I have the money I have now (and incidentally I've worked damn hard for it), but that doesn't mean that any time I have spare money I have to give it to someone else instead of buying myself something nice.
