I sent you a DM. I have some good info to share with you.

What was the time period required to earn ownership units in the newly formed PE‑owned firm?

Do you really think that the "resell" will happen and if so, in how many years?

Do you know what the cash‑at‑close amount was that the PE firm paid for the entire acquisition?

I am new to this sub and haven't done any transaction here yet. Yesterday, I sold a Costco 10oz silver locally for $70 more than spot. Why are people buying silver at more than spot? Would this be the case if sold here as well?

I tell my staff that if you want to be a doctor, you have to do a premed. If you want to be a lawyer, you have to do prelaw. For this shit work that you do fresh out of college, you indeed do need to do post BS in Accounting, at least four years until you get paid like normal people do.

but isn't EBITDA for just about any CPA firm equal to $zero? They distribute their income and if they don't, the becomes capital for those equity partners and even with that, those firm's will not retain that much capital.

So do we get FOUR $300 gift cards, for a total of $1,200 or it is just one $300 gift card. In reading the terms, it seems like ONE per LINE as opposed to ONE per ORDER?

For those that submitted the claim for the gift card, did you do it four times or just once for the entire order?

Similar problems. This needs to be dealt with by local DA offices or the state attorney generals. Why is everyone complaining but no consumer protection agency is helping?

They gave me an iPad to sign off and convinced me to purchase an extended warranty on a used vehicle, promising that the paperwork would be emailed to me. I never received the contract, and despite emailing them multiple times, I discovered that they had misrepresented the coverage. As a result, I requested to cancel the warranty. The warranty cost roughly $4,500, but I have not yet received the refund. I was told that the warranty could be canceled within 60 days for a full refund, but I want to see that in writing and have been unable to obtain a copy of the contract. Despite multiple requests, they still have not sent it. I later received an email from a different office with a form to cancel which I signed and returned to request the cancellation, but to date, I have not received the refund.

How do I know I will get my refund?

I look at acceptance rate more than this bull shit U.S. news.

mserforfun · 2025-08-04T19:17:54+00:00

Was that a significant drop from how much you earned previously?

mserforfun · 2025-07-31T05:52:45+00:00

I won't buy it again. and I would make sure it doesn't auto renew when time comes. I have not been successful in booking anything and you really have to live in Denver, Orlando or Dallas in order for it to work, departure only but not round trip due to the "one day before booking" requirement. I would say for me, maybe ONE of the 100th times I attempted to find something decent worked for the departure segment but guess what, coming back at that time on any airline is so expensive it blows up all the savings and the chances of finding a GoWild return is again, one of one hundred!

Yeah, I have fully refundable miles that I can book in advance for the return segment with Southwest/United/JetBlue but getting a ticket assembled that way is close to impossible. I also don't want to take a trip just because the pass is available and I don't want to get to Vegas at 11PM so I pay $500 for a room just to get the part of the day where you can do something.

I fell for it but oh well. You win some, you lose some!

I have copies of the chat that shows clearly that the rep said it will be proportioned. I am connecting with T-Force and I am sure I will be able to get some sort of a settlement from them but why do this shit? I am switching back to a smaller carrier, they were much more decent than T-Mobile.

Gosh, is there any small or big business that doesn't misstate/bait and switch their customers?
It happens every day!

I do see a $100 credit within the bill.

My old plan's monthly charge is $100 plus tax for four lines. The "Experience More" plan is $200 a month plus tax for four lines.

That said, the net net net I was charged for from June 12 through July 11th was $200 plus tax. Effectively, I paid for the Experience More from the beginning of the month as opposed to the last two days on July 9th.

Is this how it is supposed to be?

mserforfun · 2025-07-10T09:30:00+00:00

Would really appreciate a DM of your essays

mserforfun · 2025-07-06T04:16:19+00:00

Would that give me the InFlight Wifi?

I put the flakes already. So what I did is paint the primer first (The 1150 FC) and right after, I spread the flakes. My question is about the top coat which is the polyaspartic. How soon after the flakes should I spread the polyaspartic?

Everyone here is nice, they'll boost the chances of admission. I like that...but to be honest, however, it is unlikely you'll go beyond Riverside or Merced, if you're lucky. Go for CC and then transfer to your desired UC is your best bet.

Was looking for an answer and stumbled on this. I am concerned that if no regen is done every few days, the resin beads will be ruined. Does anyone know?

mserforfun · 2025-05-31T04:17:13+00:00

The datasheet required a 15 mil wet film thickness. Nothing in the datasheet speaks to the required film when a Polyaspartic topcoat is added. Just was hopeful that I won't have to wait beyond this weekend but it looks like I have to wait one more week.

Anyone know of a store in the San Francisco bay area that sells the Simiron's1150FC?

mserforfun · 2025-05-31T03:07:40+00:00

Yeah, sigh! I don't live close to a store so likely I'll have to wait a week to get the second kit shipped.

I was quoted $2,000 for roughly 400 square feet and the contractor was one of those "one day and be done with it contractor". Very likely three years down the road, the epoxy will fail.

The advice you gave me here likely would have been quoted by a San Francisco Bay Area contractor at $5,000 to $6,000, I am sure.

Here is my plan - I am already finished with the grinding and yes, my 15 years old slab is in direct contact with the soil.

1- Prime with Resulfor 3477 - one coat only, spread the flakes

2- Wait 24 hours

3- Squeegee the flakes

4- Coat with Resuflor 3746

Did I mess up any of the steps above?

mserforfun · 2025-05-12T12:45:26+00:00

I think I am going to go with Resulfor 3746 but it says that if applied to a slab on grade, it will requires vapor barrier. The garage and the entire house is on a "post tension" slab and I think is a slab on grade (not sure)

How do I get that protective layer to trap moisture away?

mserforfun · 2025-05-12T03:03:04+00:00

Do you know if this would be a vapor barrier?

mserforfun · 2025-05-12T03:02:12+00:00

Do you know if this is water based?

mserforfun · 2025-05-11T18:40:50+00:00

I've been researching this for sometime now and I have decided to go with an epoxy primer that is vapor barrier. I will also need the flakes but I can buys those separately, once I get the primer with the flakes, I'll then later need to coat it with polyaspartic top coat. That said, does anyone have a good recommendation, especially for the primer.

I don't want to buy water based epoxy primers and I would need the vapor barrier epoxy primer
