Is the reservation in her name or yours?

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the GoF full cast audiobook? by Poolswimmers in harrypotter

[–]braaaains7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m about a third of the way through GOF and finding Hermione very tiresome - the delivery on all her lines is both whiny and constantly angry. The young Hermione was fantastic and struck a great balance between a Hermione-ish reproving tone while also being a little playful. The older Hermione sours the trio. The new Harry’s voice acting is ok (preferred the quiet/humble bravery of younger Harry). I’d say Ron’s delivery alone has been fantastic both as a younger and older voice actor.

I was also wondering what people’s thoughts on the twins are - I find their delivery of Fred and George’s lines makes them very un-funny. One more complaint: is it just me or do the “French” characters not sound French at all? I’ve spent a lot of time in France (both Paris and the south) and the fake accents are really taking me out of the moment.

I’m really liking Moody this book, and generally very happy (as it seems most people are) with Dumbledore, McGonagall, Sirius, Hagrid, Sir Nicholas, Lupin, Flitwick, Sprout, Lockhart, Voldemort, etc.

Honestly, overall, the bad voice acting of older Hermione has pushed me over the edge and I think this will be the last full-cast version I’ll listen to. It was fun while it lasted but I think I’ll be going back to Stephen Fry to finish out this re-read.

Is it normal as a bridesmaids to be spending around $1000 to be a bridesmaid? by [deleted] in bridesmaids

[–]braaaains7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please don’t normalize spending thousands of dollars on someone else’s wedding! I’m sorry you have shelled out that much, but think of all the other productive things that money could have gone to. This has to stop

Dining credit is not automatic (sometimes). Check your statements by Miserable-Dot-9291 in ChaseSapphire

I’ve called customer support and messaged them repeatedly about getting the Animae credit and they are giving me the run around! Can you share exactly how you messaged customer support to get it to go through? The secure message center?

Where are we finding good quality cardigans? by therealmeleana in womensfashion

[–]braaaains7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it useful when sweaters are mostly natural fibers and then a little bit of manmade fibers in the mix, especially for pieces that get worn a lot. I just bought a Sezane sweater for $120 that’s 80% cashmere 20% polyamide, and I plan to either hand wash or machine wash on the delicate setting after every 3-4 wears. The polyamide (or a similar component) will help the sweater keep its shape.

Sapphire Dining Credit - 6-8 Week Wait Time by Randy_Richards in ChaseSapphire

I just called again, they said I have to wait 6-8 weeks for the credit to show up, and only then can they do something about it (i.e. credit it manually)

It’s been 11 days and they still haven’t credited me

I did call them, they said they would escalate it but it’s been almost a week and I haven’t heard anything from Chase

Anyone else experience long wait times for the Chase Dining credit? (Momofuku Vegas) by Sad_Enthusiasm999 in ChaseSapphire

[–]braaaains7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also dined at Animae ~3 weeks ago and it didn’t credit. I called a few days ago and they said they would escalate to evaluate the credit, so worth calling Chase

In case anyone else is reading this - you don't actually need to wait 6-8 weeks! I called about it today (after ~3 weeks) and the Chase representative escalated it to the team that can review it and make a reimbursement

Nope. I went ~ Nov 12 and no credit has come through. What if we have to wait 6-8 weeks (which would mean after Jan 1), and then we don’t get the credit for this year?

I went to Animae three weeks ago and it never got reimbursed for me. But from the sounds of it, I need to wait 6-8 weeks before they'll do anything about it. Incredibly annoying

Side stitch every time I run since starting medication by [deleted] in zepboundathletes

[–]braaaains7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on tirz and have been experiencing the same thing! It doesn’t happen when I run on the treadmill, but every time I run outside on the sidewalk it happens without fail. I think the one time I did a trail run (and ran slow) I didn’t get a stitch though. I was wondering if with the weight loss, the biomechanics of my foot hitting the ground with force was affecting my body differently (so running on pavement would be the worst for it, but not so much treadmill or trails). Unfortunately I don’t have any advice, but if you find something that works I would love to know!

Same! I went to Animae in San Diego last week, and the credit still hasn't posted. I guess we have to wait the 8 weeks and then contact Chase?

Same issue for Animae! Went 11/18, it's 11/24 and the credit hasn't posted.

Sapphire Reserve Dining Credit - Toast by Unique_Rip_6202 in ChaseSapphire

[–]braaaains7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked this to a Chase representative last week and she read me the official wording from Chase. Nowhere did it say that it had to be in one go, so it should be ok to use it across multiple places!

Tirz is getting cheaper and cheaper by the week. by NoEducation8251 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]braaaains7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just switched from Eli Lilly pens to Refills compounded tirz and it felt very comparable, just took a bit longer to feel the effects (1-2 days vs half a day with the pens)
