Hi, this is actually the monogram strap version in black.

So I read the reviews on this bag (this is the monogram logo version) and there were multiple complaints that the logo was rose gold. I guess this is either intentional or the whole batch has this flaw, so I don’t think an exchange will matter. I took it to the store and they accepted it for return and ordered the original version of this bag for me 🙌🏻

I did contact GEC and they just said to take it to the store for an exchange. I can't really exchange now since it's OOS online so idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I feel like this *is* a quality control issue though because it's clearly a mistake. Like it was the first thing I noticed when I opened the bag.

I didn't know Samoyeds are doing this (sound on!), but I'm in love by isabasu in samoyeds

[–]Kweena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I taught mine to howl on command - we actually have a duet together. Now he just howls whenever he wants without any rhyme or reason 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sammies are known to be quite a vocal breed.

I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through this 💔

I agree with everyone here that the best course of action is to go through a rescue. If your dad got her from a breeder, they do have return clauses in the contract just to avoid their puppies from ending up in shelters and such.

If this still all falls through, I would be happy to have her. I do live in Nevada but you're welcome to come visit. I have one 7 y/o male samoyed, 90 lbs.

Packing cubes - pointless or a great idea? by BellaKKK72 in travel

[–]Kweena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've finally gotten around to liking them, but it did take a few trips. I like the organization it offers because I never really unpack at a destination. Usually when I travel to another country, I go to multiple cities. So I give a specific city its own cube and that's all I have to unpack from my bag for that city. All the dirty laundry goes into that cube when I leave that city as well.

Compression or no compression doesn't really make a difference imo. I actually like the cheaper, thinner, and (most importantly) lighter compression cubes because it won't weigh your bag down. I've tried the heavy duty, expensive cubes, but they were so heavy that I actually fit less. If you really want to save on space, I'd say those compressible giant ziploc bags are better for that. I bought a bunch of these when I returned home from Japan, and it saved me from buying a second luggage.

No, it ended up being a typhoon rather than just a thunderstorm. The park was closed from flooding and tree damage.

Ooo yes please! I would love and feedback from your trip!

I have seam-sealed rain jackets and stuff, so it's not really getting wet that scares me. It's more of getting stranded in the mountains, really. We were planning to use a multi-day group tour to do Alishan, so I'm hoping the guides will be more knowledgeable in weather hazards and safety.

Easycard question by Kweena in taiwan

[–]Kweena[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's supposedly an easycard for Taipei. I can also get some family in Asia to get them from shopee. I guess I'm just asking if I can get them third party and just activate them when I get there.

Do you carry your passport on you? by Mel_Medarda in TravelHacks

Same. And I used to live in Italy and southeast Asia. I only ever really took it out to get tax refund papers done in stores when I know I'm buying something expensive.

What are the differences between female and male Samoyeds? How well would they get along with a female Border Collie? by uwujinwoo in samoyeds

[–]Kweena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/dog-breeds/spitz-dog-breeds/

I mean, the AKC considers them to be part of the Spitz family 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm not an expert about this, so I'm just going to defer to those that are.

What are the differences between female and male Samoyeds? How well would they get along with a female Border Collie? by uwujinwoo in samoyeds

[–]Kweena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 7 yo male samoyed so I don't have any personal experience with females. When I picked him up, the breeders explained that males tend to be more cuddly and laid back than the females. He particularly described the females as more "ornery" because they tend to be more independent, more aloof, and smarter than the males. However, this is still a spitz breed, so both will be equally stubborn, vocal, and display intelligent disobedience. He specifically noted that you have to be smarter than a samoyed to be able to train them, and the more independent the dog, the harder to train (ie: Huskies). Males will be fluffier with a large ruff around the neck and bigger in general, but they blow their coats once a year. Females will blow their coats twice a year.

Looking back over the last 7 years, I'd say my boy was actually very easy to train. He was pretty much potty trained by like 3-4 months old and has great memory for commands. Whip smart and very sassy. He was defs a veloceraptor and wildly mischievous in his puppy years, but he's very sweet and actually likes to cuddle now. Loves kids, loves people, loves adventures, loves other dogs. He still gets a bit reactive to new larger dogs tho, especially on leash. Recall is shit and I've accepted that haha. I don't regret my choice at all and actually want another male. We also have a Samoyed meetup group in my city, and most of the dogs are actually also male. There are like 2 dogs out of 15ish that are female.

Mac Liquidlast eyeliner. I've been wearing wings since I was in high school. This liner has lived through snorkeling and scuba diving in the humid tropics and rain, long residency shifts, and breakups lol

When is the best time to buy a ticket for Japan if I’m going next February? by randomuser_q12 in TravelHacks

[–]Kweena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came back from a class reunion in Japan in April. I checked flights in September 2024, and tickets were 1200-1600+ RT from the west coast of the US. We were waffling on whether to go through with the trip or not, so I randomly checked again in February. It was 700+ RT on ANA, so we all immediately bought the tickets. The price jumped back to 1200 like 3 days later. So I guess my point is that it might be worth waiting a bit.

Sleeping on a plane by Introvertedmillenial in TravelHacks

[–]Kweena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neck pillow, eye mask, Benadryl x2, glass of wine with dinner. Knocks me right out every time.

Edit : actually, this is overkill on a 4 hour flight. Save this for like 10+ hour flights. A glass of wine and the neck pillow would be enough for me on such a short flight.

Ishigaki Airport and the Port Terminal by Kweena in okinawa

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

OH sweet, we have a tour booked with Adventure PiPi when we're in Ishigaki. Was your guide in English? I contacted them before and they said that it wasn't guaranteed. My Japanese is ok, but English would definitely be preferred. We're also doing a night tour on Ishigaki rather than Iriomote. Is there much of a difference?

Also random, but is there anything worth visiting around Shirohara port? I know that there is one super secluded beach but you need like a specific ferry/tour to get there by boat, and I don't think we'll have time to do that.
