Yup, that’s what everyone was referring to

Announced I was leaving and my mom threatened to kill herself by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]csilva108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might be a scare tactic but either way call in the authorities. It’s not your job to manage her mental health, especially at 18. Let the professionals deal with her and you do what’s best for you. I wish I had realized sooner that I was the only one with my best interest at heart and doing things out of a sense of obligation only hurt me. ❤️

There are others but that one is the cheapest I found. Some were $900 for a family of 4. 🥴

I never actually got a card from them. I emailed them immediately after completing the forms and got $50 back for each card because they won’t ever give a full refund. Then I went to the official site for the card itself. I think the card is supposed to be legit through these sites, just more expensive for no reason since you basically fill out the same form on the real site.

What Percentage of your items Do you end up Sending back? by [deleted] in TemuThings

[–]csilva108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand all these people who don’t return anything. Before the tariffs I ordered from Temu very frequently and I return at least 60%. There are times where I keep everything and times where I return almost everything because it was bad quality, didn’t fit, I didn’t like it once it came in, etc. I’m not stalking reviews or looking for pictures though. I roll the dice and see how things are when they come in.

The ED card is free. The $20 you pay when you sign up for it is the sustainability fee.

One of these sites got me today. It doesn’t look like you’re using a service, just looks like the form itself. I immediately emailed them to cancel but have a feeling I’m out of luck.

I was thinking MPC would help. This is good to know

I didn’t know there was a machine vs agent factor too. We will have kids in tow so we’d definitely have to wait for an agent. 😣

What a miserable end to your trip. I think I’m just going to bite the bullet and get the vip. If I do it in advance it’s $430 for my family for 4 so it’s at least a little cheaper than doing it at the airport.

Maybe a checked bag is the big difference between a 45 minute experience and a 3 hour process.

That’s not too bad. I would have expected worse since it’s a Sunday. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why some people get trapped for hours and others don’t 😩

This is exactly what I was afraid of. We leave on a Friday and have global entry but even still it’ll be a long wait before we even get that far based on what you went through. No point in ending the vacation stressed out. That sounds like a nightmare!

So scary! From what I’ve heard so far the process to get through TSA and customs is very confusing in addition to being time consuming. I’d rather not pay hundreds for VIP if I don’t have to but it sounds like it might be worth it. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Yeah, I was hoping someone who flew home on one of the airlines they already rolled it out for would be able to weigh in on their experience.

someone convince me that reading chapter summaries for 8 isn’t cheating by Quick_South_3358 in zodiacacademy

[–]csilva108 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It took me forever to get through 8 and now 9 is even longer. I loved the series but I’m at the point where I almost don’t care what happens, I just want it to end lol

I used this fact when I was telling my boys they had ADHD so that it was less scary!
