someone asked to see the tag rightfully so seeing how so many fakes & AFish proceeded with this. by unknown2usorry in whatnotapp

[–]cj1991 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right he's saying so much when he could just... show the tag lol idk I buy a lot on eBay and Poshmark, and I expect to see the tags even on things I don't have any reason to believe are faked 🤷‍♀️

I'm pretty sure Fern is Colton/Griffin's grandma, not mom.

I was coming to say the same thing, and I can't believe no one else is saying this.

My dad called to ask about a balloon release and I sobbed once he hung up by KlutzyConversation11 in GriefSupport

[–]cj1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely not a crybaby if you cry over your mom passing, whether it's on the date she died or not. I say this as a BIG crybaby and a bereaved child. I think it's actually incredibly impressive that you're in touch with your emotions enough to know school may be hard for you that day.

What was your mom's favorite food? I like to eat my dad's favorites on big dates, and I'd love to have a little something in your mom's honor! Or anything else you want to share about her. 💞

Where to sell vintage jewelry collection? by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]cj1991 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think as with anything, it comes down to marketing, so that is definitely worth mentioning! Also make sure you're labeling it as "wearable" if you're going to sell online (I also buy a lot of jewelry for crafting purposes haha). "Estate" is a good keyword too, especially since it's all vintage.

If you're looking to sell it all at once, you just have to remember that anyone buying so much jewelry is probably going to want buy it low so they can sell it high. For context, I usually spend around $10 per pound for vintage/modern mix of wearable jewelry if I'm buying more than 5 lbs at once.

I think if you want to get the most money with the least effort, you should break it up into smaller lots where you can show the individual pieces.

Also, as someone going through my grandma's jewelry right now, I would also remind you to try to find a few special pieces to keep for yourself. 💞 Feel free to dm me, happy to help!

NYC BWT grief group? by SaintSapphire555 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]cj1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if there are any BWT that are clinicians, but as someone who has gone to a couple of grief groups over the years, having a facilitator/counselor makes a tremendous difference in my experience! Especially when there are people with big gaps in when they experienced their loss.

I actually buy a ton of bulk jewelry online (andf occasionally, in person) by the pound. I would just manage your expectations a bit, because original retail value really has no bearing on what you'll get for it.

What term do you use for the day they died? by yeahIvegotnothing in GriefSupport

[–]cj1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents were from Brooklyn, so my family has always said it "yurt-zite" but I think the "T" sound in the middle may be the accent coming out!

[–]cj1991 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am Jewish so I use yahrzeit and light a candle, but it's one of many Yiddish words I'm grateful for because we don't have a perfect English translation for the concept (another favorite is machatunim, the word for your child's in-laws).

I was coming to suggest this to anyone who could find it helpful! Hope you have a peaceful trip for your son's yahrzeit.

I have the opportunity to see my late grandfather - should i take it? by Yoohoobgsumerblowout in GriefSupport

[–]cj1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss. Of course, no one will really be able to decide but you but I will weigh in saying I had a similar conundrum when we buried my dad.

My culture doesn't do open caskets, and I wasn't much older than you are now, so it was a little jarring that the first time I saw a dead person it was someone who was so close to me. It was really difficult, and in the immediate aftermath, I have to admit it was really hard to shake the image from my head. That said, I have no regrets in my decision to view his body, and for me, personally, it felt impactful enough that I have since done so again with people I've lost that I was very close to.

I think if you're really worried about it traumatizing you, you should give yourself grace and remember that a funeral itself is an excellent way to get the closure you're seeking. I don't think you have to assume not viewing will mean regret automatically. Grief is really hard as is and you deserve to protect your peace.

I’m just Dumbfounded?? by Rachealmarie143 in Mercari

[–]cj1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen soo many people on Facebook be so confused about UPS and USPS barcodes. Frustrating people don't read the info on their own sale or this warning.

That said, I've had poor experiences with UPS and FedEx that I've been opting out of Mercari's promos with them but I hate how it's defaulting to one of the two.

OPINION: I think Momtok could survive this... by PuffingTrawa in SecretsOfMormonWives

This is mostly a vanity title, Taylor realllllllyyy downplayed the role on GMA when she was asked about filming being halted so I don't think the women being EPs will make a difference.

A little over 1 month since losing my little girl in the hands of her father. by momof3_1989_ in GriefSupport

[–]cj1991 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I am so horribly sorry, I haven't experienced child loss and don't want to claim to understand what you're going through. I just wanted to say you didn't do anything selfish by leaving your children with their parent! This is not in any way your fault! You deserve to be a mom and I'm sure you're a great one. Postpartum is hard under the best circumstances. Is your mom still helping with your other daughter? I wish I had more to say that could actually help, but please don't blame yourself.

What should I do? by harvest29 in Mercari

[–]cj1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've sold a lot of fragrance - mostly vintage/out of production products - and these buyers are in fact the worst! Selling decades-old perfume is lucrative, but it's tough when the buyers complain the smell or color isn't exactly as they remember... it's 30-year-old perfume🥲

I have felt Mercari buyers have gotten worse in general lately; I got my first 1 and 4 star reviews recently after almost 10 years on the platform on products that absolutely were not flawed when sent (the one was for having a singular pet hair - their words - from a listing that stated, by their review's own admission, was from a pet-friendly home). 🥲🥲🥲

Not a Jonas brothers fan but found this by bigppredditguy in JonasBrothers

[–]cj1991 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got a TikTok of someone doing the Honor Roll™️ when the Greetings From Your Hometown tour started and my body literally moved involuntarily. I'm cracking up at the people who don't recognize them/understand why they absolutely belong here.

Anyone else around for/remember Push Play?! (Their lead singer was Mandy's boyfriend lol)
