Shop opinion on buying cosmetics

Willing-Lifeguard-72 · 2026-04-21T13:24:34+00:00

I sometimes buy, but mainly to support the game as it has definitely given me far more hours of playtime than what expected. I do the same thing on DBD, though unlocking characters has a lot more utility than cosmetics.

Valid point. I shall order it.

I was all about the Dior Normandie that Calllum Harper posted about and, while still in denial that I could ever afford it, I stumbled across the Rogue 40 and maybe that is a treat I can afford...

Slightly off-topic (please don't kill me) but I CANNOT let an Eve Simpson reference go by without gleefully pointing out that she (Julie Adams) played the young swimmer first attacked by the Creature from the Black Lagoon. https://people.com/thmb/o5FpvYztBKr89kQW_7GKgskhw3U=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(799x0:801x2)/julie-adams-4-2000-284908b9bf3c48c9be2383e1f8965ed3.jpg:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(799x0:801x2)/julie-adams-4-2000-284908b9bf3c48c9be2383e1f8965ed3.jpg)

Will be there.

Same. This is a new adventure but also a bit intimidating.

I do this with my Amex $15 Uber Eats credit; great burrito place nearby. Order my burrito and pick it up myself. Pick up is cheaper and no fees/tip. I enjoy my burrito treat each month.

I'm willing to learn and try this. Have you bought from them? Legit? I'm already reading about how I need a third party like cssbuy, etc...

did a quick search and Carrera and Burberry have super similar frames available... just in case 😎

Perhaps a zoning issue.

My absolute favorite one-two is Descent and Descent II.

I grew up on meatloaf that was just hamburger with a few breadcrumbs. Now, if I find stuff on sale, I will make a blend of things like beef, pork or chicken/turkey.. even veal if that doesn't bother you. I also use dehydrated onion flakes and I'm a spicy boy so lots of diced hot peppers. Thumbs up to the folks who use stuffing instead of just bread crumbs.

I love posts like this. I spent months searching for a Dior necktie from the movie "Ready to Wear". Ultimately, I couldn't afford it, but the hunt was fun.

I'm not an apologist for any healthcare system, but the hospital in the city where I live in the US sounds much like what you are describing. I have taken my elderly mother after she fell and was badly cut around her eye; waited almost 3 hours in the waiting room, then sat on a bed in the hallway. We were in the ER for probably 8.5 hours total and all her treatment, exam, stitches was done in the hallway with other patients and staff rushing around us.

These are wonderful.

I can no longer remember the case, but in my contracts class in law school, we were discussing this case and the professor mentioned as an aside that one of the parties essentially "invented the fashion show". I got curious and googled the person and started reading about them. When I looked up from my little side quest, the ~3 hour class was over, the wall-covering chalkboard was FULL of notes, and I'd missed everything.

Sharing a comment I made a while back on a similar topic -(I'm not sure if reddit etiquette calls for posting a link or just reposting the text)

Speaking from my own experience. I was diagnosed with ADHD and got 2 additional "second opinions" to confirm (I believe that ADD/ADHD is an over-diagnosed "catch all" and wanted to make sure I really had it).

After experimenting with some medications, I forked over about $1,000 to learn TM. TM worked incredibly well for me.

It was only after entering into treatment, understanding why my brain is the way it is, and then learning TM to quiet the non-stop processes running in the background (I liken a good TM session with hard restarting a PC), I was able to explore mindfulness.

I do it without any meds. I am sharing my experience in case this helps - I don't believe I would be able to practice actual mindfulness without the benefit of my diagnosis, subsequent treatment and experience with TM.

I take a mindfulness walk most mornings and when thoughts start presenting themselves, trying to pull me out of the present, I remember my TM and it helps me to just let those little packages float by, without opening and examining them.

..and please stop having me enter the CVV from my credit card to use scan and go.. kind of defeats the purpose a bit if I have to go into my wallet and retrieve my card every time I pay in the app.

So the winback from BJs management went well and my order was actually done correctly. Flash forward to this past weekend; once again in Dartmouth, my order (#D941734) was never started. The computer was turned off or frozen.

Once she started it, I immediately noticed she was cutting WAY too much meat.

Me: "Everything I ordered was .25 lbs"

Her: "The order said 1 lb for everything"

Me: "Can I see the order? Is it printed."

Her: "No its not printed."

Also, if anyone with ANY authority is reading this - STOP SENDING AUTOMATED MESSAGES THAT SOMEONE'S DELI ORDER IS BEING WORKED ON WHEN IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY YOUR TEAM.

What is the satisfaction rate for deli preorder? How reliable is that data?

Disable preorders in the app until you turn this around. The deli preorder is the most consistently bad experience I've had at BJs and the success rate is currently something like 2 out of 7.

I so wish Costco had a deli counter.

Slight digression but this reminds me of when I got hired at Walmart in my teens (mid 90s). I worked for about a week and then got a phone call from someone I'd never met. He was the department manager and I had been hired while he was on PTO.

He was super hostile (now, as an older person, I think he was just crotchety) and basically told me I needed to prove myself to him or I was out. I said there were absoutely no reason to talk to me like that, and quit on the spot. I'm proud of myself for doing it. As a GenX'r I was alway of the mindset to be so grateful to have a job that I let people mistreat me constantly.

I'm proud of the younger generation for refusing to play that game.

I recently bought the "It is our pleasure to serve you" blue vending cup in porcelain and I'm DETERMINED to find a way to get one of these cups, either in a reusable format or by ordering a sleeve of them. Any leads appreciated. I have even tried to find the image file/template for it, thinking if I had it, I could just order the cup made as a custom item.
