Look, I get what you're saying, but I'm stuck on the math—how much do I actually have to roll over three times before I can hit that withdrawal button? Is it just that $5 bonus they tossed me, or am I looking at the whole balance sitting in my account right now?! 😁

Terry Cook48 said:I mean, obviously—it's just those five bucks you're pulling in... at least that's how it works with those cheap offshore betting sites...

Yeah, makes sense, I guess, but honestly? It feels like such a tiny amount to bother with a rollover. 😁

If anyone actually knows for sure, please weigh in ASAP... 😛

Pretty sure I finally tracked it down. 😁

You gotta wager the bonus amount three times over—minimum odds of 1.50—before you can even think about hitting that withdraw button.

So... does "bonus amount" mean my entire account balance, or just those measly $5 they dropped in there? 😁

Probably the first one, most likely...

Hey, I haven't touched DraftKings in maybe two years... but then yesterday I stumbled upon some random bonus and started playing around with a bit of cash, so now I'm kind of wondering—how many times do I actually have to roll over a certain amount, and what kind of odds am I looking at if I want to be able to withdraw?

Also, quick question—is $10 the minimum if I'm using PayPal?

Thanks! 🙂

So, this is my first time actually sending anything through HP express—total newbie here—so I was wondering... do I just roll up to the local Post Office and tell them I want to ship this via HP express, or is there some other way to handle it? 😁

Honestly, don't even bother trying to order protein from Canada... unless you really enjoy getting absolutely fleeced by customs fees. It’s a total scam.

Man, if everyone could just snag products at those Canadian prices, life would be easy—we'd all be doing it, right? But alas...

I usually just buy my stuff from these guys who trek all the way from Washington, D.C. down to Canada to pick up supplies, then flip them on forums and stuff.

Basically, I can grab some Gold Whey for like $50, instead of paying $60+ at our local shops here.

So, look—if you're actually trying to save some cash, just stick to gym forums or checking local marketplaces. Trying to order straight from Canada? You're just asking to pay more in the end...

Thanks a ton for the link, but if I could’ve just found it sitting right there on their actual website, I wouldn't be bothering you guys here in the first place 😉

I mean, obviously...

So, quick question—can I actually just grab a cardboard box right at the FedEx counter when I'm dropping off a package?
And if they do have them sitting there, is there like a price list or some kind of cheat sheet posted somewhere so I don't get totally blindsided by the cost...??

Hey there!

So, I’ve got about 6 school textbooks I need to ship out tomorrow, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this without getting totally ripped off—basically, what's the cheapest route? They weigh roughly 6.5 lbs total, plus I actually need to get paid for them... so yeah, I need the cash sent back to me too.

I was wondering if maybe FedEx is cheaper than our overpriced USPS, and do they even handle payouts for buybacks? 😁

Thanks! 🙂

I actually asked a lady working at my local post office about this exact thing just last week—she shot me down pretty quick and said it wasn't an option, but hey... maybe she was wrong? Gotta check, right?

Sent two packages today and man, the USPS is an absolute rip-off.

So, I tell them I want to ship these as standard media mail in bubble mailers—I was sending books, you know—and I need COD service...

The first package weighed in at 1,246g and cost me $31.20, plus the COD fee was $30.

The second one was 783g and ended up being $8.50, with a COD fee of $33.

+ I also had to shell out $3.25 for the bubble mailers and the money order, so the whole thing set me back $22 total.

Basically, I’m telling her "just send it as media mail," and she looks at me like I've lost my mind and insists on registered mail.

???

Thanks for all the input, guys.

So, I called the USPS office today—and honestly, it sounds like they might have just missed sticking one of those COD slips on the package... which means there’s a real chance the mail carrier just handed the guy the box without even mentioning he had to pay up.

They told me they'd give me a shout on Monday, and apparently, the carrier who handles that route is supposed to swing by his place... even though the paperwork clearly shows the amount I wrote down and everything else.

But now I'm sitting here wondering... what actually happens if the mailman gets to this guy and just plays dumb? Like, what if he won't admit we already settled the cash side of things? Am I actually gonna see my money again, or am I just screwed? 😁

The kicker is, every time I try to call him back, it just goes straight to voicemail 😉.

Thanks again!

Hey there.

So, I’ve got a quick question... I sent out an airmail package Tuesday morning—sent it COD, you know, so I actually get paid upon delivery.

Even though things were totally stalled for three days last week, I feel like the cash should've hit my account by now. Now I'm sitting here spiraling, thinking I completely botched the paperwork... so I wanted to check if I actually filled this out right to make sure the money actually finds its way back to me.



I have this nagging feeling I checked the wrong box or something... 😁

Also, what's the best way to ship some books and textbooks?

Just toss them in a padded envelope or what?

Thanks! 😉

Hey there!

So, I've been crushing some Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey for the last three months—it's got a solid reputation and everyone says it's top-tier—but now that summer is rolling in, I'm looking for something in that same ballpark but maybe a little easier on my wallet... you know, a bit cheaper. I was picking up the usual stuff at $117, so I’m curious what you guys would suggest as a solid alternative?

Thanks!

redranger82 said:Hey there... what's up?

Does anyone actually know if you can go under the knife while rocking braces? Like, is it even possible to have surgery with all that metal in your mouth... or is that just asking for trouble? 😁

I’ve been scrolling through all these threads online—you know how it is—and honestly, everyone's got an opinion. Some people are out here saying there’s absolutely no point in taking it off, while others are swearing that if the doctor specifically asked you to, then you probably should... I mean, at the end of the day, it really just boils down to whatever your doctor says, right? It's all kind of up in the air...

So, I've got an appointment this Thursday with my ENT... you know, the whole ear, nose, and throat deal—and honestly, I’m lowkey stressing about what to actually say once I'm sitting there. Like, what should I even be asking? What's the best way to lay it all out for the doctor so they don't just give me some generic advice and send me on my way...? 😁

So, I'm looking into getting a deviated septum fixed—plus maybe a little bit of cosmetic touch-ups if I can swing it through insurance... so yeah, if anyone's actually been through this or has some actual wisdom to drop, please, don't hold back... 🙂

Thanks! 😉

Hey Princess and the whole crew—don't be shy, let's hear it... spill everything! 😁

Someone please help me... seriously, I need an answer ASAP. 🙂

Hey there.

Quick question—does anyone actually know if you can go through with surgery while still wearing braces? 😁

I’ve been falling down a Google rabbit hole... some people say it doesn't even matter, others say their surgeon insisted they get them off first, so I guess it just depends on whatever doctor you end up with.

On another note, I’ve got an appointment this Thursday with an ENT specialist, and I’m low-key wondering what the best way to approach that conversation is... like, what should I actually be asking? 😁

The plan is to get a septoplasty and maybe a little bit of aesthetic surgery covered by my insurance, so if anyone has any actual wisdom to share, please don't hold back. 🙂

Thanks! 😉

rustygardener172 and the rest of you legends, let's hear it. 😁

Hey there.

Quick question—does anyone actually know if you can go under the knife while still wearing braces? Like, is it even a thing? 😁

I’ve been falling down some internet rabbit holes... one person says it doesn't matter at all, but then someone else says their surgeon insisted they get them off first. So, I guess it basically just depends on whatever doctor you end up with, right?

Oh, and side note—I've got a dermatologist appointment coming up next week, so I was wondering if anyone has tips on what I should actually bring up or ask while I'm there? 😁

The plan is to get a deviated septum fixed plus a little bit of cosmetic work done using my insurance... so yeah, if anyone has any actual wisdom to share, please don't hold back. 🙂

Thanks! 😉

James White3 said:So, they’re asking me if I actually want some kind of aesthetic work done—as if that's even the point... but honestly, why are they even asking me this??? It's like, what do you even want from me? I don't know... maybe I just don't get the logic here...😂

I actually really love your posts... you basically answer everything I could ever think to ask. 😁

Did you actually go with a referral?

Where can I actually go to see some photos of his work? Seriously, give me the scoop—don't hold back on the details... 😁

coastalpuma3 said:I’ve got a deviated septum—though breathing isn't actually an issue—but my nose is pretty crooked to the left and it’s really bugging me visually...
Is there any shot at getting this covered by insurance (or even just having them pick up half the tab)? Because right now, paying out of pocket is tough $5000 (I can swing up to $8,000 😁), and I really don't want to spend my whole youth stuck with an ugly nose 😢
Any recommendations for a solid surgeon?

I actually posted a super similar question a few weeks back, and honestly, I'm still hunting for more details on this...

Kate Taylor59 said:I think so, yeah, but who knows how long you'll be stuck on a waiting list... there are tons of people ahead of you. And if I'm not mistaken, you can only do it at a public hospital, which is basically a nightmare 🙄
I heard Glumicic asks for $8k $0.00, so honestly, he might be a better bet than anyone at a state hospital...

So, you mean $2.75 for both the deviation and the aesthetics using a referral?

Also, I'm wondering if every single hospital is truly that much of a disaster where they can't produce a decent-looking nose, or are there actually some good ones out there (you know, surgeons who actually care about doing a good job without needing a mountain of cash) 😁? 😲

So, I’ve got about 50 of these little packages—basically just small envelopes—to send out, and I was wondering... do I need to use blue or white envelopes? I'm leaning towards white, but who knows... also, can I just print the addresses on my computer and stick them on, or does the USPS insist on everything being handwritten? Like, is there a rule against being efficient here? 🙂

Thanks for the help!
