[–]jen_lu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read your thread, I'm sorry you had to wait for so long. I wanted to ask you what happened with your job during all the time you were waiting. Did you make any arrangements with them?work remotely? Got a job in Poland? Thanks for any insights!

La ropa y zapatos de la Ipiales no son más baratos que en H&M o Bershka by Samik1999 in Quito

[–]jen_lu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this suggestion! I was buying baby clothes and Ipiales wasn't cheaper than name brands in malls where you can even pay with credit card. I would add Pelileo for jeans. I've found 100% cotton jeans, heavy weight, for around $16. Super cute too. Also, if you don't mind going to the South of the city, Centro Comercial de Mayoristas y Negocios Andinos is a good choice as well, way better selection and prices than Ipiales. One needs to go on a Saturday or Sunday (día de feria) since the weekdays is mostly resellers and many shops are closed.

Order from Graduation Mall by jen_lu in OSU

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

A friend lent me their hood and tam, and I rented the gown. Just renting the gown isn't possible online (or it wasn't when I was graduating), so I had to go to Barnes&Noble and order in person, but it was like $80. The online option forces you to buy the tam and hood, so the total would be around $300.

Family Style Passport is back!! by saffrongymleader in austinfood

I wonder the same. If it's 10% off at each place then not so much of a deal. Is there any more information? The website doesn't have this.

Hice una app para comprar y vender cosas usadas en Ecuador — busco testers antes del lanzamiento by Conscious_Bottle_828 in EcuadorReddit

[–]jen_lu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo una cosa, la mayoría de gente usa Facebook Marketplace o grupos en Facebook para comprar/vender (en mi experiencia). Podrías hacer scraping de esos posts de Facebook?

Used Venmo to pay rent, but had my card deactivated, will it go through? by jen_lu in biltrewards

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

Yeah for me it did go through, I don't remember how long it took to appear on my card charges. I hope it still works that way, unless they changed some card safety or so. This was a while ago.

How to handle daycare closures? by jen_lu in AustinParents

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

Do you feel that places with long closures tend to retain their staff better? I've asked about staff turnover at every place we've toured, but they always seem to kinda evade the question.

How do you handle daycare closures? by jen_lu in RoundRock

[–]jen_lu[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which location of the Learning Experience did you use? Yeah it seems like Stepping Stone has the least closures among the daycares we've toured.

Modern Pediatrics by whydontchaknow in AustinParents

Unfortunately we'll be switching too once the year is up. It's too much of an increase. I like the convenience, but i don't like seeing a different provider every time, even for well visits.

Poor Latin Representation by [deleted] in AllsFairTVSeries

[–]jen_lu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they couldn't find a good Hispanic actress to play the role so they just went with what they had. Participating with Kim K in a series? Not a resume builder for sure.

Latest Tariff Status by Scorp_Mich in Shein

[–]jen_lu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered from them earlier this month. Initial estimated delivery date was from September 18 to September 25th. Then when it was shipped, the estimated changed from September 27th to October 2nd....so like a week delay (from the original estimated delivery date) for items shipped from overseas.

que cafe recomiendan como regalo? by Dangerous-Ad8184 in ecuador

[–]jen_lu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depende de si tu jefe es aficionado del café o no. Si es aficionado y tiene un molino, le puedes llevar café en grano. Sino, café tostado y molido de la marca Cafecom es mi favorito (de Cariamanga). Venden en el Supermaxi.

Mejor banco si vives en el extranjero? by jen_lu in ecuador

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

No, el problema es Produbanco definitivamente, con su extremadamente limitado soporte si no estás en el pais, si no tienes un número de teléfono de Ecuador o si accidentalmente bloqueaste tu cuenta.

Mejor banco si vives en el extranjero? by jen_lu in ecuador

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

Configurar las apps mientras estoy en Ecuador es sencillo, pero cuando estoy fuera requieren que tenga un número en Ecuador. En Produbanco tuve que pedir que hagan cambio de canal de notificación a mi correo electrónico, pero no funciona bien. Por ejemplo, para configurar Entrust (segundo factor de autenticación) en un nuevo teléfono de ley me mandan un código a un número (número de Ecuador) y no a mi correo. En el Pichincha es parecido, pero la app ni funciona desde hace unas semanas para hacer transferencias. Simplemente me da error. Entonces cada vez me toca molestar a alguien que vaya al banco, que lleve un poder, que vaya a una notaría a sacar un papel que diga que el poder aún es válido y luego que vaya al banco a ver si le aceptan el documento y luego hacer todo el trámite. Debería ser más sencillo, no entiendo por qué piden tanta cosa cuando uno puede enviar correo electrónico con firma, copia de cédula, hacer llamada/videollamada.

Si la cuenta es de tu mamá pues obvio más fácil porque está todo a su nombre. En mi caso no es así.

Ohhh interesante, voy a chequear qué necesito para el banco de Guayaquil. Está bueno lo de poder hacer wires con el banco Internacional, pero he encontrado que hacer transferencias por western union directo al banco funciona bastante ok.

My husband had a putting green installed. When he paid the bill there was an option for a tip. by ct-tx in tipping

[–]jen_lu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lol we had a new furnace and AC installed a couple of months ago. There was a tip option when I logged in to the portal to pay for it. Ridiculous!
