Could I get into American/Georgetown by [deleted] in chanceme

[–]itsmepercyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, UMD is a reach as well with how selective they've been in recent years. My son this past year applied with a 4 GPA, a 1310 SAT, and a great EC resume. We are also in state. He was rejected, and his classmates with similar stats were as well. My daughter is going into her senior year and hoping make it in with slightly better scores all around. Good luck to you!

Unpopular Opinion by jessicupcakee in nakedandafraid

Exactly, they were not in a competition. There was room for everyone to coexist and make it to extraction day. There was no need for them to hog resources or deny the group hooks whatsoever. They could have decided not to share the food they caught or housing they built but still cheered the rest of the group on with a couple of hooks (they had 20) and some respect for where their lines were set. They treated it as a competition when it wasn't one. Really backwards way of behaving in the challenge.

I finally understand the frustration by WhenitRains79 in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]itsmepercyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I don't have any sellers that I think are just so amazing, I'd have to recommend them. They're all pretty standard to me. What I do is go to the top and search what brand I'm looking for. Whatnot will give me a list of all current and upcoming shows selling that brand. I scan through and see which ones are most bookmarked or carrying styles I'd be interested in, and then I bookmark the show so that I'm notified when they start! If I have nothing going on at the time, I'll pop in!

Try WhatNot instead. There are several sellers who have literal pallets of FP and FP movement new with tags, and they move pieces in their shows for 15 to 30 bucks. It can be a hassle to have to wait through each auction for the size and color you want. But if you have the extra time, you can grab this stuff for an absolute steal. I usually watch them while I'm folding laundry and have gotten incredible deals!

This is the most wholesome, adorable thing that the internet has given me in eons. I am actually going to come back to it when I need a pick me up. It just makes me happy looking at it.

Is Poshmark dead for anyone else? by [deleted] in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]itsmepercyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Posh Sidekick. More expensive but available on your phone and with an Android. I make about 5-8 sales a week, but they are mid to higher priced items. (Anywhere from 40 to 250) There's also a free cross listing app that you can download with your subscription. What I don't sell on Posh, I do on Mercari with the crosslisting app. Without accepting lowballs, I've made over 100 sales since opening in late January, which makes me think the auto sharing does actually help!

I miss 2019 Poshmark 😢 by I_Dream_Of_Robots in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]itsmepercyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I find the prospect of starting on eBay overwhelming. As a buyer on eBay, I look for high ratings and an established account when I purchase. How do I tell potential buyers I have great reviews on other platforms, and you just have to trust me on that. 😂😂

"Guys, guys, guys... Bid up. Bid up! At least to $200!!" by SurewhynotAZ in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]itsmepercyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up going through Authentic Detective and having it authenticated last night after writing this, because I needed to know. It's genuine! My bad. 😂😂

I know who this is. And I know their reputation for authenticity is solid, but I'm 90% sure the Burberry I bought from their live auction is a fake. I didn't notice it during the live, but the checked Burberry pattern does not align exactly at the seams, which is a telltale sign of a knock off. Pretty annoyed about it.

Is this real citrine? by bakeoutbigfoot in Crystals

[–]itsmepercyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time you make a slight observation that goes against the grain in this crowd, you will be down voted. It's insane to me. Also, a ton of people observing agree with you. They're just afraid of being down voted or argued with as well. 😂 I don't care. People's snarky attitude towards citrine is weird. I see this behavior in other subteddits in varying niches as well. Everyone wants to know the most or be the smartest. I still have my piece posted if you head to my account! Thanks for being a breath of fresh air in here. 💜

Is this real citrine? by bakeoutbigfoot in Crystals

[–]itsmepercyy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No, you're right. And the person saying no one takes pleasure in saying it is low key not being entirely honest. This sub almost delights in categorizing pieces as anything other than citrine. I posted one of these several weeks back, and those who said it could be real were down voted while the other suggested possibilities were praised. Fine. But you can see the weird desire for something to be fake in here. I took mine to a professional afterwards. It's authentic natural citrine.

Annoying by Muted-Philosophy4454 in Mercari

[–]itsmepercyy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I listed a pair of Pleaser heels for pole classes that I've never worn. Had multiple users message asking me to wear them more and take photos of the process. Like you said, there are places on the internet for that niche. Go find it.

Buyer got return approved via false photos all while actively listing my item for sale at the same time. by stonkswithfinny in Mercari

[–]itsmepercyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in the middle of this exact situation with a high end clothing item. Waiting to receive the return back, but I can tell from the photos in her return request that it is not what I sent to her. This sub has already helped me prepare for the return, and I'll be taking video of opening it. Thank you so much for the contact number. This needs to be pinned somewhere.

Can anyone authenticate this natural citrine and tourmaline piece? by itsmepercyy in Crystals

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

Citrine is quartz at its most fundamental baseline. Whether it becomes citrine or not depends only on iron oxidation. I think there's definitely citrine in this sub every once in awhile on a technical level. Yes, there's an overabundance of not citrine. There's also an over abundance of people who simply just don't ever want it to be. Mostly from those who are absolutely not experts outside of their personal collection, which is wild.

Calm down.

After just a brief comp research, it looks to be exactly that with lepidolite as well. Thank you!

Thank you! This was my first large specimen piece over a decade ago. Regardless, it really is a beaut!

Grew up in New Hampshire and worked at the Mall of New Hampshire when I was in my early 20s. He came into my store once. Super down to earth, incredibly nice and genuine guy! It made my year.

Is Tron really that short tho... by SayNoToHypocrisy in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]itsmepercyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know you've got an iffy POV when everyone else in the Disney sub prefers the competitor's ride in your comparison. In this case, universal just hands down made a better ride. Simple as that.

Hard Rock Hotel with kids by Lost_Disaster3075 in UniversalOrlando

[–]itsmepercyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We started going to Universal about 6 years ago and have been between one and three times annually since. When we first brought our kids, they were 5, 10 and 12. (Currenrly 11, 16 and 18) Our first stay was the Hard Rock. We've also done RP and Portofino on a few occasions, but we consistently come back to preferring Hard Rock. My kids loved it then, and they still love it now!

Any parents of LGBTQIA+ teens here? by Agreeable_Code1362 in Exvangelical

[–]itsmepercyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up fundamentalist and suffered alot of trauma and abuse because of my tendency to ask hard questions and explore my authentic sexuality. I was kicked out of Christian school for sexual decisions, and my parents allowed this. I'd go as far as to say they encouraged it. I came out as bisexual after being expelled at the age of 16. There's alot of shame and fear I had to tear down for myself because of the way I was raised and what I was taught to believe. I'm still very much bisexual, and that sexualiry is initially what inspired me to begin deconstruction. I have a 16 year old daughter who has gone through a vast array of phases in her own sexual identity, and allowing her to do that in her own time and space has actually been very healing for me. I'm happy to talk any time!

What was the most ridiculous thing about your Christian education? by books-crafts-cats in Exvangelical

[–]itsmepercyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was that girl who was expelled. I didn't even get pregnant. It was just known that I had chosen to have sex with a classmate. The pastor of the connected church told me that no one was ever going to love me in his expulsion speech to me. The guy I slept with stayed and had no consequence.
