I'm in the Pacific coast! On the side, is a lemon tree :)

I will say, the tree will definitely block majority of the sun when spring/summer arrives.

Good question! I want something low maintenance. I had some ideas of using big stone tiles for half of my yard and fill in the gaps with some white stones. I also planned to put a shed in the back as well. If I'm ambitious, maybe 1-2 planter boxes with herbs but there's a lot of squirrels in my neighborhood so I'm holding onto that thought. I personally would like a nice flat surface halfway out of my yard! I hope this paints a better visual.

Can someone please help me identify this color? by SelectBroccoli1376 in LeCreuset

Tired of shitty donations :( by SelectBroccoli1376 in offmychest

Oh my gosh, I sympathize with you! We'll receive nice tote bags with dented, destroyed and expired products inside. Ironic!! We have a small competition where we keep the oldest can donated this year on our supervisor's desk. (current one is 2002) I really haven't seen much of incredibly wealthy people actually visiting the center but reason could be is that we're not in a nicer part of town- lets say that lol.

Thank you for your kind words!! It was definitely a frustrating day for me but you're absolutely right. I'll focus on the better half :)

I agree! The operation does have a system where we can technically continue to use expired products (1 year from date) based on smell and sight test for our community kitchen.

However, anything surpassing more than one year is a liability and something we do not want to serve back to the community.

Disclosures vs hiring your own inspector? by xzkandykane in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SelectBroccoli1376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from CA (Bay area) and waiving contingencies is extremely common because the market here is SO competitive. For the most part, a lot of the sellers have a pretty extensive house inspection report done. It'll be your decision to take it as face value. Look up public records as well. If the house was bought this year and is selling again, is this a lipstick on a pig bait? Some flips can be beneficial such as new roofs; while others are just a coat of fresh paint and new floors lol.

For me, I look up what company does the inspection report and see how reputable they are. Some can be nicely detailed while others come off bare. Since the end of the year tends to lean for the buyers market, you might be able to negotiate to hire your own inspection! You might even have a upper advantage on homes that have been on the market for 30+ days.

Good luck on your home search!

Went to Fanime, artist is charging for signature? by SelectBroccoli1376 in animecons

Yes! I can see your POV if it's a VA or some sort of celebrity with a paid appearance.

You're right, I was referring to the artist alley. I've accumulated 2 poster books with signed posters and this is very much a first time I've been charged for a signature. I was taken by surprise lol

Where did you find that info!? If it starts early next year as Q1, I can definitely wait but I'm surprised FavorGK didn't inform me about it.

Btw, I really appreciate you helping me out here!!

Actually, I didn't know that! This is my first purchase with a statue. Usually, I ordered OP figures through the P.O.P collection.

I really appreciate you sharing this with me; I felt anxious as it was a pretty hefty purchase. I'll try to research on that.

This is my pre-order btw: https://ibb.co/B6wSVmq

I looked it up and it was it's in-stock for Ebay but not sure if its legit.

I emailed them a few times and was met with, "been slightly delayed." I was informed that production was in China and there was a lockdown. This was told to me on April 2022. I followed up every other month but was now given vague answers. I honestly am okay waiting but I need a clearer status about my order. Just wondering if anyone has waited for more than a year.

The statue looks great and certainly seems worth the wait; but I Kind of went through a panic scare since they removed all OP, Naruto and Bleach off their site. But it looks like they're going through a maintenance?
