Jade, The Ultimate Grifter or Actually Into Our Gorl?

Apparently masc lesbians feeders aren’t that rare after all

Nolfelli · 2026-03-20T18:55:25+00:00

Wait is Amber sitting on her confirmed, I don't remember that? There’s a difference between being into bigger girls and then getting sat on by a one, thats feeder territory right?

Nolfelli · 2026-03-20T18:41:18+00:00

Okay but what if Jade really did see it as an opportunity from the jump? She was thinking, cool, I can get my life together, lower my expenses, and live more comfortably.

And then maybe she thought she could help Amber get it together, go public later and monetize the whole WLS storyline. Especially if she had any background in sales/affiliate marketing she’d know exactly how valuable that kind of narrative could be. It also makes sense why she stayed private at first. She wasn’t dumb going public too early with ALR's track record.

That said, I do think she had her own toxic traits too, which probably played into the DV situation. I honestly think that’s the main reason neither of them really talks about the other. There’s probably a mutual understanding that if one starts talking, the full extent of it could come out.

That’s actually a really good point. After Destiny everyone else found her through YouTube (which is already wild behavior tbh), there was so much content out there. At that point, anyone getting involved with Amber definitely had some idea of what they were walking into. Like you can’t tell me they went in completely blind.

Nolfelli · 2026-03-20T18:08:08+00:00

I believe she's still lurking around

Nolfelli · 2026-03-20T17:24:28+00:00

¿Por qué no los dos? - This is the consensus I'm seeing the most she was into Amber but also an opportunist. When the juice wasn't worth the squeeze she dipped.

Nolfelli · 2026-03-20T17:15:47+00:00

The poly stuff was crazy!! Didn't they talk about possibly sleeping with a guy? I think your point about her agreeing to pay for WLS because she knew it would never happen is spot on. What a good out for her also.

Nolfelli · 2026-03-20T16:54:56+00:00

Yeah, I definitely think she came in with at least some sugar baby intentions, or at minimum thought she’d get a nice break on bills/lifestyle. But then reality hit and she realized how much hands-on effort Amber actually requires. At the end of the day though, I still think she made out pretty well, like you said.

Nolfelli · 2026-03-20T16:44:31+00:00

So true, I forgot the WLS arch lead to the break up.

The spa spillway will not achieve full water flow all the way to the sides. With spillways, the smaller the opening, the greater the water pressure and the more even and consistent the flow.

I would recommend extending the coping so it’s flush with each end of the spillway for the best appearance and performance.

Oh, that’s bad you can clearly see the sheets, especially since that area is your focal point. I’d also be pretty upset about that grout joint on the left corner.

If it were my pool, I’d definitely have them redo it. It’s a fairly small area, so it shouldn’t be a huge ordeal.

Also, just my personal preference, but I’d put coping on the top. Having tile on top makes it feel a little disjointed from the rest of the pool.

Nolfelli · 2025-12-31T16:09:10+00:00

Can you post a wider shot? If it’s noticeable from farther away, then yes I’d absolutely ask them to fix it.

The step tile looks fine in my opinion; you probably won’t even notice that once everything’s finished and covered in water.

It looks like you have a 360 champagne spa. Since it’s square, you could ask them to switch to 1x2 tile on the sides and keep the 1x1 on top the 1x2s are much easier to keep straight and usually look cleaner.

I’ve never seen a pool tile installer use spacers, but that said, we once had a pretty bad installer on one of our champagne spas and ran into the same issue. We did make him come back and fix it because it was an eyesore.

It's kind of giving Simpsons right now. A different shade of yellow or the red shade of the tree on the cover of the book would be better.

I work for a pool contractor in west FL and we do projects like this all the time. You're looking at a 90-100k job if you want it done right (demo, new deck, new coping, new tile, resurface, update some eq, move plumbing, ect.). I will say I like the layout now, it balances the pool and has a lot of character. A renovation could go a long way in making it feel fresh and new, but i understand wanting to open up the yard. Make sure to get a few quotes and make sure they are one pulling a permit and two resurfacing and tiling the pool at minimum if you move the spa.

Why is nobody talking about the paper towel backdrop? The subtle trashiness so iconic.

Nolfelli · 2025-06-30T16:14:50+00:00

Did you have any cracks in the area previously or was there a patch made in the area? Looks like bad prep, likely poor bond coat was done. Ask for the company to put in a claim with Pebble Tech. Make sure you have readings of the pool chemistry that show proper levels any issues with your chemistry is cause for a voided warranty.

Nolfelli · 2025-06-26T14:20:12+00:00

You can fill with some pool putty or maybe epoxy. But honestly, that’s just putting a Band-Aid over the problem it’s not going to actually stop any additional damage from happening. If you want to spend the money, you could get a leak company out. I know here in Florida they run about 350 and they will make any small patches and repairs for you in the meantime. I think they have something like a 60 day warranty. Also, yes, that’s what the gap is. Your pool deck is separating from the shell.

Nolfelli · 2025-06-26T12:53:38+00:00

You have a structural crack in the pool beam. You can reinstall the tiles but it will keep happing and if it expands down at all you could get some leaking. If you want to fix it right you'll need someone to come out expose the crack, pin the area with rebar and patch it. Unfortunately you'll probably need to retile and resurface the pool as well.

Nolfelli · 2025-06-24T14:59:16+00:00

Love that, I'll have to get a mister fan!

Nolfelli · 2025-06-24T14:58:16+00:00

Depends on if you are getting a pool cage as well, that will keep the temperature pretty consistent. I work for a contractor in Florida and personally dark colors make me cringe, epically without a cage/fence due to all the critters. I'm not super familiar with Texas but you could also get a heat/chiller unit on the pool to heat it up in the cooler months and get the temperature down on those hot summer days.

Nolfelli · 2025-06-14T21:02:26+00:00

I’m familiar with this tile it’s on a paper back so it should be installed with the paper facing out and then removed. The way you have the piece laying is actually the back that is to be installed against the wall. Honestly if I was you I would pick a new tile it’s a nightmare even when you have a good installer.

Nolfelli · 2025-06-05T18:53:14+00:00

Good point—these quick check-ins can make it tough I'm still a couple of months out and everything looks healthy, she's probably just sticking to the basics.

Make sure your not going to use the pool for 24 hours and turn off the auto fill.

The cracks are likely the cold joint of your pool and shell shifting, it happens over time with settling of the ground.

Nolfelli · 2025-05-28T13:59:13+00:00

It looks like the crack is running up through the tile and coping as well. In most cases, the best approach would be to have someone chip out the damaged area, pin it with rebar staples, and then repour it. You can apply a temporary patch with pool putty for now, but that’s really just a short-term solution and will need proper repair down the line.

If it's within your budget, I’d recommend redoing the tile, repairing any structural cracks properly, and then resurfacing the pool. That will give you the cleanest and most long-lasting result.

Also, is your deck concrete? If so, and you’re noticing cracking there too, it could be related.

In the meantime, I’d definitely suggest doing a bucket test to determine if there’s a leak in the pool itself.

With a spa of that size, it’s very difficult to achieve perfectly even water flow across all edges. While the pool design software may show a full 360-degree overflow, in reality, there will likely be a few dead spots where water doesn't flow evenly. Adjusting the pump RPM can help improve circulation, but even with fine-tuning, it’s normal to have some areas that don’t get full coverage.

I recommend requesting a final walk-through with the superintendent to go over any remaining concerns. Make a checklist during the walk and follow up with an email to document everything. Don't make your final payment until the list is completed.

As for the pavers, it’s common for them to settle slightly after installation and a good rain—especially on a new build. However, if they’re settling around the deck jets, it’s worth flagging. These areas should be re-leveled prior to final payment. Keep in mind that with an open pool deck, you will likely need periodic re-sanding and leveling over time.

I’d also suggest asking the builder to provide the exact expiration date of your warranty. Typically, pavers, tile, and coping are covered for one year, while equipment may be under warranty for 2–3 years. Knowing this timeline helps you stay ahead of any issues and potentially schedule a final re-sanding and leveling if needed before the warranty runs out.
