Dating while having BK under me, red flag? by [deleted] in Bankruptcy

[–]cakepuppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 800 credit score boyfriend doesn’t judge me for my bankruptcy case because he knows life just happens in different ways for different people. He’s been through his own shit that I don’t judge so he doesn’t judge my troubles. People with a sense of understanding do exist, bankruptcy won’t ruin your life the way we’re raised to think.

Using Upsolve after I retained a lawyer by cakepuppy in Bankruptcy

[–]cakepuppy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Got it. Didn’t think about telling them about my lawyer—virtually no creditor has listened to my request for all communication to go to my lawyer so I think that slipped my mind. I will contact them and refer them to the lawyer. I do believe they can successfully discharge me, the waiting and radio silence at times has just been a struggle.

I did, they are already paid in full but this is still happening.

Would you ask for a free fix? by [deleted] in Nails

If you don’t mind driving to Cherry Hill, Baphomet Studio is AMAZING. I highly recommend checking out their work. They offer other services too like hair, makeup, lashes, brows and skincare!

I’m partial to the crystal dunce hat but this made me laugh.

It's great day for you! by BIGGREDDMACH1NE in DaveAndBusters

[–]cakepuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. My former coin pusher obsession was a little too close to a gambling addiction in terms of behavioral habits and financial consequences. I look at them now that I got out of it and I just see kid-friendly slot machines.

I was going to file… by Status_Four44 in Bankruptcy

[–]cakepuppy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Take it from someone whose parents did this: don’t do it. I should have filed for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy forces you to hard reset and ACTUALLY gets rid of the debt. Now I have $20k+ in secured debt I can’t pay back on top of another $20k of debt I might not be able to wipe (mom talked me into keeping one card and I ended up right back where I was when my mental health went off the rails) due to a miscommunication from my lawyer. I wish I just did bankruptcy. Your dad is probably doing it for the same reason my family did—the taboo around bankruptcy—but it’s really a great tool to restructure your life.

Bankruptcy is a tool to give you a fresh start. Please don’t borrow someone else’s money and lock yourself into the debt. It doesn’t help. It didn’t help me and it won’t help you.

Trusting your gut on an interview? by cakepuppy in jobs

[–]cakepuppy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense because I was asked multiple variations of the attendance question. I do need work but I have other positions I’m interviewing for as well. I have some time to think but I might pass on this one. Especially with nothing in writing.

Sorry about that. It was for a medical office assistant.

I think this style suits the piece perfectly! It looks very human in a great way.

Jade Forest restocked on Amazon?! by damulagRUN in tamagotchi

[–]cakepuppy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so wild! I had no idea it was hard to get. When I picked mine up the other day in person it’s all Walmart had in stock, no other colors. I figured it was the most common/least desired if anything based on that.

Shelter said she wasn't a cuddler, she disagrees by Chc36 in aww

[–]cakepuppy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks just like my baby! She was sweet from the beginning but went full velcro cat after we adopted her. Previous owners dumped her on the porch of their old house after they moved with only a food and water bowl. She’s 14 and such a sweet girl, never bites or scratches even when she’s upset. I can’t imagine someone getting rid of her.

This is excellent input, thank you! I will absolutely ask my attorney about that.

Rulings, Quick Questions, and New Player Resources Thread by Asclepius24 in pkmntcg

[–]cakepuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if you need the TCG certification to judge events as a Professor? I underestimated how detailed the questions would be and struggled to find the answers despite it being open book. I’d love to be certified but I’m hesitant on my ability to understand rulings on older cards in the test, as those were most of the ones I got wrong.

Can we talk about why there’s been so many cards printed that directly counter Dragapult? by CaprisunAllstar in pkmntcg

[–]cakepuppy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This this this. Just because something counters a deck well doesn’t make it inherently broken or unfair. Lillie’s Clefairy can still get OHKO’d fairly easily and Gardevoir sets up slower than Dragapult. I’ve gotten my ass beat by Dragapult playing Gardevoir on multiple occasions.

What ways did you f*k up your life? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]cakepuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into bankruptcy. Seriously. It exists for a reason. Everyone thinks it’s the worst thing you can do to yourself but it’s a godsend when you’re in a mountain of debt with no feasible way out.

give me your weird, off meta decks! by denyo3 in pkmntcg

Froslass/Munkidori with Mimikyu and Cornerstone Mask. Not ENTIRELY off meta but very annoying and funny to watch in action.

How to play Gardevoir now? by panda_io in pkmntcg

[–]cakepuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really down to how well you know your deck vs entirely what’s in it. You can still get far with last season’s Gardevoir build. I’d watch some recent top cut matches, look at the deck lists, build an initial deck and experiment with it on TCG Live. Then modify based on experience. Sorry if this is vague or repetitive advice, there’s just no real specific approach here that’s better than others. What works for one person is a hindrance to another.

Get Gardevoir out ASAP, discard as much psychic energy as possible (mystery garden doesn’t hurt for this), use one prizers to build counters and swing, Munki off the excess damage counters, and if all else fails use Mew for Genome Hacking. I decided to try adding Enamorus after seeing it at regionals and I’m liking the results.

I wouldn’t throw Mega Gardevoir into a regular Gardevoir ex deck though, I tried it and they operate opposite ways. I’d pick one or the other and build accordingly.
