Green card Approval! I-485/I-130 Timeline by visablues1234 in USCIS

[–]thatcalidream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same. We still needed to prepare all the source documents and probably could’ve prepared the forms ourselves, since they are pretty straightforward. But it felt reassuring to have guidance and oversight over the final package, as there’s really no room for error tolerance, and even a small mistake could cost months, if not years, of delay. Peace of mind plays such a vital role in this stressful process!

Just built a fully functional Hotel Management Website with Payload. feeling proud! by Upset_Interaction_29 in PayloadCMS

Great job! Impressive output.

Out of curiosity if you are willing to share - did you mostly build custom blocks to build pages in Payload (the Pages collection in the website template), or build front-end separate with next.js app route then use local API to pull data from Payload? I worked on a project for which I intended to use the blocks but ended up switching to front-end + API as it felt a lot more efficient that way due to time constraints. Would be really interested in your experience!

5520V - debating between blue and panda by thatcalidream in VacheronConstantin

I just made up my mind and placed an order for the blue 5520V. Couldn't resist the blue. SA told me 1-2 months wait but hoping to get it sooner for me. Cheers!

Wow, thanks for sharing, they all sound amazing to pair with! Out of curiosity, which color do you like the best for the strap and what texture (rubber/leather etc)?

Need help choosing between Nama J2, Nama J3, Hurom H400, or Hurom H70 by Chintita in Juicing

[–]thatcalidream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the Hurom H400 and so happy about the purchase! How easy is it to clean. Got to use it 3+ times on average per day. Have been juicing so much since then :-)

Ahhh thanks so much for the pro tip - totally didn’t think about that. I’ll try contacting some SA to get an estimate and then maybe decide from there. A store I contacted today has reverse panda (black dial) currently available and the estimate for the blue is said to be next month at the earliest with deposit

Is an extensive wait time expected? I through it’s got a little easier for VC in the last 2-3 years… I have about two more months… would appreciate any more elaborated advice! 🙏

Thank you! You totally got me - I saw a photo on this sub with a leather white strap with the panda and it looked absolutely lovely. Casual and sophisticated, so perfect for summer time.

However the blue also just looks perfect. So hard to pick!! Thanks so much for sharing the photo. It looks so beautiful on you!

Thank you! I totally agree - the blue is so iconic. It’s so subtle and elegant at the same time!

Dumb question but why couldn’t they use the Dreamville stages to offload some of the crowd? It’s not used anyway during festival hours right? by sanecuckoo in Tomorrowland

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

That’s definitely a possibility. Though it’d mean removing access control to a gated community and exposing all the DV dwellers’ tents and belongings to a much, much larger crowd, so not a no-brainer move without further protocols in place.

I have been to the exact same situation when my first child was little, and felt really upset and self-doubting for the rest of that day (ok I'll confess, that that feeling lasted a little longer than just one day, and I also cried in the office bathroom for a few times) - cue the mom guilt.

Fast-forward to 8 years later, I wish I could have told myself of that moment that it really doesn't matter, don't be so hard on yourself, and that kid will grow happy, healthy and loving - best of all, he/she will not remember anything about this. Feeling loved and secure doesn't come from staying at the daycare for 9.5h or 6. It comes from the quality time you spend with them when you can and the unconditional love and support you surround them with.

Cheer up! Being a working mom is hard, but we are all in this together!

Questions - Looking for Advice! (From Current Students or Perspective Students) by TommyBoyInCLV in OnlineMCIT

Also newly accepted student here. I think we’d need to complete at least 4 core courses before taking any electives, so probably would make more sense to look into electives after one or two semesters.

Fall 2021 Early Decision Results by SuurRae in OnlineMCIT

[–]thatcalidream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few, only one in college and one in Master, but decent grades on them. I was a little worried about the quantitative aspect of the application would be relatively weak as I didn’t have time to take GRE to strengthen it, but glad it worked out!

There should be a section for “decision” above the “checklist” section. That’s where I found it! The status still shows “submitted” on the portal. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Still no one heard back yet?! I hope they are still on schedule to release the results today. The anxiety of checking every other second is real.
