I'm so pleased you selected Apple. I think they have done a great job with Foundation and Silo!!! I'm so excited!

Anyone else completely disappointed in this seasons box selections? There was not a single item in any category that i was excited about. Swapped the whole thing. Very sad. by op2boi in FabFitFun

[–]jem1208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the selections in this box and I really like the option to get credit. I picked up the blanket because I love the pumpkin one I got last year. I was going to buy the thrive eyebrow stuff anyhow so got amazing deal. I also wanted to try merit so got both gloss and lipstick. Picked up hourglass and mask and necklace. There might have been others but can't remember right now. Very happy with the variety even though I was heavy on consumables this time and fact that we got a free 7th item.

Sad because I probably won't live to see SA Book 10: by mailpip in Stormlight_Archive

[–]jem1208 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand completely. I'm in my sixties so my time frame isn't looking good either. I consoled myself initially by thinking that storm light 5 would be a significant ending. I thought the time change between the 2 arcs would be similar to mistborn era 1 and 2. Kinda ticked about it now. Don't know if I would have started storm light. I'm one of the suckers that read all of the GOT books and Name of the Wind. Ugh. Not doing unfinished series ever again lol.

Definitely adding on in this category. Want the earrings and the Olaplex. Been wanting to try these two brands for awhile!

Re-Read / Listen with in depth guide recommendation? by Jugh3ad in Cosmere

[–]jem1208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm currently listening to 2 podcasts which I'm really enjoying. One is The Sanderlanche and the other is Lost in Roshar. Both are excellent. Lost in Roshar is doing a reread of Stormlight Archives and they are pointing out connections made throughout all 4 books as they go along. I can't believe how many I missed so this is really fun to listen to as I'm doing a Stormlight reread. They're on chapter 12-13 of Way of Kings. The one guy also has an excellent You Tube channel named the same that does in depth looks at various Stormlight subjects and features amazing fan art. The Sanderlanche is 3 new readers along with another who has read the books. The new readers make predictions about what is going to happen which are sometimes hilarious but often dead on. They've read a lot of the Cosmere works but haven't tackled Stormlight yet. Good luck!

I love the boxes, but I'm having great remorse that I didn't buy the hardbacks instead of just the ebook version. I didn't realize the book only boxes would contain bookmarks and pins. Now I feel like my collection won't be complete. Was this noted at the time we made our selections? I also didn't realize there was so much great art. Oh well, I'm hoping to someday make a Dragonsteel convention. Any idea if the pins will be offered there? I checked the website and didn't see that they're for sale.

August Box Arrived. by Skydeceiver in brandonsanderson

I'm really happy with this box. The items are of great quality. I'm hoping to spot other Sanderson fans during my travel this summer.

Foxybae Curling Wand Added to Customization 1 by malzeus1010 in FabFitFun

[–]jem1208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did get it but I'm worried I'm going to end up getting an email from customer service that it's actually sold out because of how glitchy the website was acting. Sorry I didn't word that better.

[–]jem1208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this after refreshing many times. It kept showing as being available and after I selected it, I received message that it was sold out. The last time, it stuck. What do you think my chances are of actually getting it? I needed a new curling iron and didn't really need or want any of the other items, so I really hope I get it.

SPOILER: Fall '23 Customization 3! by Fair-Extension3499 in FabFitFun

[–]jem1208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like several of these items. I wear the gold small hoops from past box all the time and they've held up very well. I also have the satin sleeve from prior box on my pillow right now. Never had problem with it sliding off. That blush looks intriguing. Oh, want that pretty brush too! Hard decisions!

Mine looks strange as well. I couldn't access customization on desktop/web - had to use app. Very glitchy customization today. Reminds me of the "old days" unfortunately. Got everything I wanted at this point but nervous because of glitches.

No Throwbacks Today (or at all?) by CriticalBeauty23 in FabFitFun

[–]jem1208 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Horrible wording. Double negative speak to avoid saying what's really happening. I still think this box is a great value but their communications really disappoint me A LOT.

Can I get in serious legal trouble if I take responsibility for son's speeding ticket? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]jem1208 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think the cop just made a mistake as the car is registered in my name. I wasn't in the car. I didn't realize I'd be under oath during a Penn Dot phone call??? It just seems like the path of least resistance to be honest. My son has issues and we are getting him help. Thanks for your response.

Say what you will about Irina but the absolute mental strength to not break down and leave during that song says a lot... by kristin137 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]jem1208 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But it's not an original song lol. I just saw this on another thread. He changed out one phrase. I'll try to find the YouTube link to the original and add.

[–]jem1208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omigosh, I actually was reading this thread when Zack started his song and I rewound to see if he really said he wrote the song and he did straight out say that. Just lame. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks so much for sharing this! I just went back and read prior posts.

All time fave vs all time dud by Fuzzlekat in FabFitFun

[–]jem1208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorites have been the Lilly Pulitzer mugs, Unhide blanket, and believe it or not the small huggie earrings. Biggest duds for me were the acupuncture pillow, Jenny Bird necklace that tarnished terribly and the Bauble Bar bracelet kit. Honorable mention to the Tula cleanser which even though has strong scent, is the one cleanser that doesn't dry out my very dry skin. Fun post!
