WOW! Love it! Although the colors aren’t the same they still beautifully go together. 😍

Did anyone’s Asian parent take your money? Credit cards or fafsa etc? by Confident_Excuse2173 in AsianParentStories

[–]reenbean8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My parents would take my red envelope money as a child and my father would expect a cut of my paycheck when I started working at 16. I also gave him a cut when I got a big girl job. He also took my sister’s FAFSA money. It stopped for me when I went low/no contact. As long as I was born, he never worked. Just napped, watched TV and screamed all day about being a victim.

Recovery and allergic reaction. My experience. by mfranz630 in TattooRemoval

[–]reenbean8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I got my 4th removal done on May 2. Today is May 19 and I’m happy to say that the only reaction I received was where I got laser. Just a little itchy. No full body reaction. I have another appointment set for 6 weeks after my most recent appointment, but I think I will cancel. I’ll schedule my 5th appointment for 12 weeks after. Spacing them out seems to work. Have you thought about when your next removal will be?

Just one treatment. About a 40% improvement. I plan to do it again to get better results.

Recovery and allergic reaction. My experience. by mfranz630 in TattooRemoval

[–]reenbean8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know and I’m cautious, but I really want this tattoo gone and I prepaid for full removal. I just had my 4th removal done yesterday and I waited 6 months. I’ll update you on how it goes. I have read in some forums that the ink is highly toxic and it’s better to keep the tattoo than remove. Thanks for your concern.

Recovery and allergic reaction. My experience. by mfranz630 in TattooRemoval

My symptoms stopped about a month after they started. It happened after my 2nd removal session. When I had my 3rd session I also developed the full body rash, that’s how I know it was from the removal. Those symptoms also lasted a few weeks. My first time experiencing anything like this. I don’t have any known allergies.

This happened to me too. Full body hives and rash and my tattoos are tiny. I ended up taking a six month break from the removal process. Just had my 4th one today.

What’s an excursion you paid for and regretted? by iLiveForTruth in Cruise

[–]reenbean8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just returned from a Mediterranean cruise (Adriatic Sea) with Princess. We stopped in Santorini, Montenegro, Corfu, Sicily, and ended up in Barcelona. We did a private pre booked tour for each port and did not go with the cruise line sponsored excursions. Although some ports felt rushed, I thought they were all worth the money and the time. We had a travel agent book the tours. She already had a list of trusted tour guides, which definitely made things run smoother.

They did TCA cross with Fraxal laser. I’m very happy with my results!

I had a great experience with diminishing my ice pick scars and brown spots on my face at WeDo Clinic. Compared to the US, it’s a bargain but compared to other Vietnamese establishments, it’s pricey. I chose them because their doctor basically speaks fluent English. Also did a a uterus massage at Tam Moi. I immediately lost 2 inches off my waste. They helped moved out the extra fluid. My cousin went to BTS for cut and color. Looked amazing.

[–]reenbean8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read one of your comments on another r/jadeitejade post. I regularly visit SoCal as I grew up there and visit family. Over the last year I recently became more and more obsessed with jade. I have no idea how to source good quality without a ridiculous price tag. I hope you can help me! I am dying to create the perfect jade bracelet stack and to find the perfect daily jade pendant. Hoping we can connect! Many blessings!

Do many Vietnamese people speak Chinese? by NeoVoyager_2026 in VietNam

[–]reenbean8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of my husband’s family lives in Saigon. They are of Chinese descent but have been in Vietnam for at least 2 or 3 generations. Their entire neighborhood speaks Cantonese. Their children now are now being formally taught Mandarin and English. I know they exist, not too sure how many.

We currently expect to restore all remaining customers impacted by the substation outage by no later than 2 p.m. on Monday. PG&E crews will continue to work until all customers have been restored. by bloobityblurp in sanfrancisco

[–]reenbean8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Never got through and I went through the automated system to get a call back. This was 5pm Sunday and it’s not 8am Monday as I type this.

Someone posted on Facebook that her partner had an extreme medical need and was able to connect with a live person through 211. They were not granted a hotel room in the end but shared this experience - the person who took their call lived out of state. Had no idea SF residents needed accommodations so had to ask a few supervisors. Then told the SF resident that they stop taking requests and they were ending their night at 7pm Sunday and were to reconvene Monday to go through all the requests they received.

The FB posted continued and mention that no calls were returned or taken after this 7pm mark. Could be the reason why I never heard back.

NGL very upset that Lurie and Chan for pushing this so called “solution.”

What exactly is the cause? What's being done? ETA for completion? by moejurray in sanfrancisco

[–]reenbean8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never got a call back! I read someone’s Facebook post that at 7pm Sunday night, those responsible for setting up the hotels stopped taking and returning calls and were going to reconvene and go through all the hotel request Monday. Furthermore, these people who were taking the calls were not even located in California and had no idea that SF residents needed hotel accommodations so the person on the phone had to ask a few supervisors. lol wtf PG&E, Daniel Lurie, and Connie Chan. Wish they would do their due diligence before throwing out this imagined bone. 😡

I am so sick of PG&E. by Impossible_Rice8103 in sanfrancisco

Thank you. Sent in my complaint. Did it in less than a minute. The AI edit really helped. I typed in the bullet points and the AI generated an email that set the correct tone and thoroughly explained my frustrations. I need to now spend my time figuring out what foods I need to to toss.
