This was seriously the BEST birthday and opening ever!! I still can’t believe it happened… 🥹✨ I screamed like I was getting murdered, and my neighbor was genuinely concerned and considering calling the cops. 😹 Thankfully she texted me first. Haha. It was truly just the most epic opening. 60% were EX or better, with lots of other IRs. So much awesome art!!

My birthday was 9/26, and all I wanted to do was rip. So I traded Gold Crown Pikachu, Raging Bolt SIR, Morpeko SIR, Timburr Chinese IR, and something I can’t remember 😅😹, and got 17 packs of 30th. Then I traded a girl in our local girl Pokémon group a Surging Sparks ETB from my collection for a 30th ETB.

It ended up working out to a session of 26 packs of 30th and 26 packs of a mix of random modern and Gem that I opened with my husband. I love the art SO much, and to get every one of my chase cards except the Sylveon (which I pulled last night 🥰) was INSANE.

What’s even crazier?!? We pulled these four within the first 17 packs!!!

It started with our 1st pull on the 1st pack, the Jirachi. On pack 4 came Gengar, which started my screaming. Then on pack 9, I pulled the night time Pikachu. I still can’t believe it. 🥹 It felt like all the Pokémon came to celebrate my birthday.😭♥️ I couldn’t stop screaming! 😅😹

I really didn’t think it could get any better, but on pack 14, from a Poster box, came my Mew. 🥹 That’s when the screaming was the most intense, because I couldn’t stop.😬 Haha. My voice ended up being effed for days. I’ve sung in bands and am used to abusing my voice, but it was truly like I was screaming bloody murder, because I couldn’t believe what the hell was happening!! 🤯 😭 🤯🥰🤯😳🥹🥰

I do wish I hadn’t opened the ETB. 😹 It had gold cards, which I’m not really into, and a Scraggy IR. I considered not opening it, but my husband got me with the “you never know,” and now I know.😹

And I also gotta say, I know there are people that are pissed because they’re not making money, blah blah blah, but I’ve LOVED opening 30th more than any other set. It reminds me a lot of opening the Chinese Gem boxes. I’ve only got 3 left to get all the IRs I want, but this memory of getting 4/5 SIRs on my birthday, including the night Pika party, will be very hard to beat. 🥹♥️

This hobby is truly incredible if you can look past the stupid. We all know what I mean. 😹 Sending good vibes so you all find your chase cards.🎉 ✨ My ultimate chase? The Chinese SAR Cubones on a Bridge. What about you??☺️

EDIT- We ended up will a full refund because they would not change their decision, even when I sent a video of my dog physically performing his duties. They don’t care.

Whoever works in their ADA office seems to have something against disabled people.

Booked with American Airlines who already have our service dog registered and have flown with previously.

IF YOU HAVE A SERVICE ANIMAL DO NOT FLY ALLEGIANT, even if you’re approved with Open Door.

Original post:

Like the title says… this is my first time flying allegiant. My service dog was trained by my husband’s father (with the same name as my husband except he’s a Jr and my husband is III). Then I further worked with a trainer in Mexico for the breathing trigger.

My dog is trained to place his paw on my chest when my blood pressure gets too high and to tap me twice if I’m holding my breath. This is to get me to breathe or take deep breaths or take meds. Depends how I react to breathing.

However the most important thing is during high stress situations, like flying, he distracts me by putting my fingers in his mouth or nibbling my hand and if I don’t calm will then lick my face until I start taking deep breaths and rhythmically petting him.

Does anyone know what can I do?

I’ve tried contacting chat and no agents are available. Their customer service line is a 2 hour + wait. I’ve been trying for over 2 weeks to get this done and finally got the travel notification not approved from Open Door, However I have been approved with Open Door.

This is becoming insanely stressful and I’ve already had a panic attack, because I’m supposed to be traveling for a family reunion and don’t have the funds to pay for my service dog.

Tiny ink dot above the name on this Sword & Shield Grapploct creates what looks like an apostrophe, turning Grapploct into “Grap’ploct.”

At first I thought the card had somehow gotten marked or dirty, but we pulled it from a Sword & Shield pack inside a 25th Anniversary First Partner Pack, and it came straight out of the pack like this.

I examined it under magnification and good lighting, and it’s definitely an ink spot. Normally something this minor wouldn’t even catch my attention, but I think it’s hilarious that it landed in just the right spot to look like an apostrophe.

I don’t really care if it’s worth anything. I just like that I have the one and only “Grap’ploct.” 😹
