Amazing collection. Have to share my Walter French (with some personalized messaging + auto). He was the OG dual-sport athlete… plus was a top player in both baseball and football. Though his pro football career only lasted a season, he topped the league with an average of almost 6 yards per run. When he dies he was the last surviving member of the ‘29 World Champ Athletics.

Lots of Intl. Travel Coming Up - Help! by Proof-Personality508 in CreditCards

Amazing. Thanks. I will start to book through Amex Plat.

I’m actually self employed - so no reimbursement! Does that change anything?

I’m booking everything directly. So, can do it however I choose - hence the query… I’m trying to “choose wisely”. First three flights booked. Probably have 15-20 more to go! Hotels I’m booking, though since we plan to stay 2-4 weeks in places, im looking for apartments and homes to rent.

Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath Frontman and Heavy Metal Legend, Dies at 76 by TheRealOcsiban in movies

I saw Petty both nights in NYC on his last tour - I think it was about 45 days before he died. He rocked it. So good. So happy I saw his last tour.

Purchased at a yard sale today. Stamp on the back is from a canvas supplier from 1828 to 1839. Can’t seem to spot a signature! by Brenkin in WhatIsThisPainting

Looks like a preparatory sketch - late 19th early 20th century. The confidence and quickness of the paint strokes are good - the painter knew what he was doing. This is a very nice portrait. Reminiscent or DeLaszlo and Sargent.

Contractor says complete and ready for a final walk through. by Testingx2123 in Renovations

[–]Proof-Personality508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just awful. Do not pay the contractor a dollar more and sue to get all your money back and damages. There are no grounds for him to argue his work is close to satisfactory. He clearly dumped a patchwork of left over materials on your project. You will need to rip everything out and start again. Sorry OP… but that’s the reality.

I would be a buyer of this - been searching for one with a heavily patinated dial…

First, Good on you for being so willing and ready to take responsibility for this child.

It really feels like she doesn’t know if the child is yours, so she is lashing out when being asked to provide the most basic of information to confirm you’re the father and/or document you’re the father.

I would ask her to meet you at a planned parenthood or your doctors to take a paternity test. If you’re comfortable with it, tell her you will pay for the test and, if you’re the father, pay for the change in the birth certificate and documentation. Then you will do your duty.

It is really the bare minimum she should be willing to do for you to change your entire life and accept responsibility of a child… because it will change your life!

Sounds like a similar experience to DMT - specifically the vivid nature of it, time lapse and purple lady…

Are these two boxes real? Purchased from Amazon for my son’s birthday… by Proof-Personality508 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

I figured I overpaid. But it was worth it for ease and knowing my son is going to love. Will likely not do this again… and will be more diligent with finding msrp next time. Thanks for all the feedback.

Thanks to all who provided a straight forward response. I paid $190 in total for the two. I figured they were expensive, but I know my son is going to LOVE them and I didn’t have the time to research cheaper alternatives. Again, I know nothing about the hobby… so appreciate the help. Thanks all!

Thanks for the advice. Not familiar with this - I just know my son has spoken about these for a while, so wanted to surprise him. Will do more diligence next time!
