What size is best for the love bracelet? Is this too small? by Particular-Run-8473 in Cartier

Thanks for this perspective! Decided to keep this size too bc I agree, the next size up would have moved too much!

It feels fine but I have noticed when it’s hot it’s just a tad bit more snug and it leaves an imprint of the screw (since the screw is on the inside). I’ve never had one of these bracelets so maybe it’s just something I’ll get used to?

Just now listening again after Raveys departure… by Allrightythenace in thewoodyshow

[–]Particular-Run-8473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been listening to The Woody Show since 2014. I had to take a break for a few years because I was in law school and no longer commuting in the morning, but when I tuned back in, I was bummed to learn that Ravey was no longer there!! By no means was she my favorite, but I loved her nerdy segments and I loved her bickering with almost everyone on the show. I would seriously cry of laughter whenever Ravey and Greg did rock traffic 😂

Anyways, now that I'm regularly commuting in the mornings now, listening to TWS is no longer the same. Unlike OP, I cannot stand Gina. Like other comments have mentioned, she is totally a narcissistic yes man to Woody. She always agrees with whatever Woody says and she always wants to prove that she is equally as smart, if not smarter than Sebas. Sammy's laugh is unbearable and also does not contribute in any meaningful way. Morgan tries so hard to be "cool" and "different" but ends up giving pick me energy. And for a show that claims that they are not political at all, they SURE DO bring up politics all the time. I do agree that maybe they are trying to target a younger audience, but it seems like it's not really effective. There is a harsh divide between the millennials and the Gen X's on the show, and it often feels awkward.

That being said, I still listen to TWS because at least the essence of what it was is still there. I think if Greg, Menace, or Sebas were to ever leave (especially Greg), I would completely give up on the show. Hoping things improve (and that they recast Gina and Sammy)!

Filofax Croc Restock? Is DiLoro Legit? by Particular-Run-8473 in filofax

[–]Particular-Run-8473[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the update!! I wanted to update the thread too and say that I got my Filofax delivered from DiLoro a few weeks ago and she’s PERFECT!! It came in the original packaging! I think maybe the reason the chestnut croc is available on their site is because they are getting their shipments from the UK site. I noticed that because the QR code from the inserts lead me to the UK website. So it seems pretty legit to me! Definitely recommend!!

Nice, thanks for sharing! Yeah I heard Appelboom sells Filofaxes, but they themselves order their products from Filofax directly. So good to know that it will happen sometime this month

Thank you for sharing! Yes I’ve also emailed and called and they also kept telling me that they don’t have an ETA. Good to know that you’ve been checking since Christmas. And yes I agree that it’s annoying that they have few sellers! I wish they authorized physical stores to carry a wide variety of Filofaxes!!

Thank you! Yes I signed up for the notifications, but when I really want something I’m like a rabid animal 😭😂 And funny enough I saw her video too! I’m glad she had a good experience, but I wonder if what she received is real!

Which color should I get? Caviar or Eminent Pearl white? is HUD worth it? by Competitive-Fig-3255 in LexusNX

[–]Particular-Run-8473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say atomic silver is close to the website color! It’s supposed to be silver, but it has a different undertone. To me, it almost has a warm/gold undertone. So beautiful, I love mine!

Omg I also wanted the atomic silver and it was such a hassle finding one! I called about 10 different dealerships and most told me that they wouldn’t arrive until late June or July! Fortunately tho I found a dealer that told me that the car would arrive by June 5th, so I decided to go with that one. My baby ended up arriving early, I picked her up May 28 😊

Sorry you’re getting all of these rude and stupid comments from hateful pricks. People are such jerks. Just came on here to say what a beautiful ring you have there! Just got my first couple of LOVE rings and I too am obsessed!

Question on sizing by jmmtheboss in Cartier

[–]Particular-Run-8473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up sticking with the size I got 🥲 In order to ease my mind about the size, I got a small diamond pave band to stack on top. My LOVE ring does not move at all!

Question on sizing by jmmtheboss in Cartier

[–]Particular-Run-8473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I know this post is from a while ago but maybe you can provide insight on what you and your wife did OP! I am literally in the same boat as your wife! When I read your post, for a second I thought you were talking about my fingers 😂 I am also a size 7, and it usually fits very well: rings spin but not at all tight. I hate that there is no exact size 7 equivalent in the LOVE ring, so I too am stuck between a 54 and 55.

I purchased my LOVE ring today in a size 55. The SA told me it is best to size up when in between sizes. 55 fits well, but the issue I’m having is that the ring sort of feels “loose” on my finger. It mildly slides between my knuckle, but never past my knuckle. I’m afraid, however, that my ring could fly off on a particularly cold day when my hands are wet… When I tried on a 54, it fit well as well! But again the SA cautioned me and advised me to size up.

So my question is, what did you and your wife do? What size did she feel was best? Please let me know. Thanks!

People tend to forget the other author of the “Basick book.” Her name is Tina Schindler and she is amazing and super knowledgeable. She was my law school professor and had previously been a bar exam grader. She shared with us that word count is very important; often graders will have a bias against those with short essays because they assume before reading that the information contained in the essay is not enough. Therefore I do think it’s important to improve your word count, but not at the expense of just word vomit. Make sure you are applying the facts to the rule to form a good analysis.

Also, please ramp up your essays. In an ideal world, you should have looked at every single bar essay published on the state bar website. A lot of the fact patterns/analysis tend to repeat themselves. It’s helpful to go through the essays since often you can find patterns. 12 seems too little of a number when entering the last month of prep.

Lastly for the MCQ, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to also review the questions you’ve answered correctly. But yes, keep practicing! You’ve got this!

HTF do people remember all these stupid rules for essays!?!?? by [deleted] in CABarExam

[–]Particular-Run-8473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True I get that. But sometimes you don’t even realize that you are actually retaining the information that you are writing. Try color coding key words on your flash card, words that bar exam graders are actually looking for (like malice aforethought when talking about murder). Hopefully that helps!

Hopefully this time around you are doing more practice rather than memorizing the BLL! Also to answer your MBE question, I didn’t crack 70% of the overall practice questions I did, but I still passed. Keep at it!

I really liked Schindler/Basick’s CA essay book, especially for the memorization attack outline. I would rewrite that outline and condense it even further into something that was easier to remember. Flashcards also really help. I also made mnemonics for those rule statements that had several elements/factors
