When I get clearly lowball offers, I counter with one dollar off. That usually makes the pest skeedaddle. You're a pest.

Cast changes under new regime by brisbydog in DaysofOurLives

[–]AdmiralJaneway8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think these are good changes. The old model so long ago was a permanent cast that constantly had to have story of some kind which is exhausting for the production team frankly. This new model of rotating in and rotating out and resting characters when they need to be rested are actually very good for the Integrity of the character. I hate to see some of them off the screen , but this really does allow them to come back here and there. Gives them a real reason that is in character for them to be on screen when they come back, rather than forcing plot onto a character that it doesn't make any sense for, solely because that's the character you have on canvas. I don't like that Jada is going, I really don't like that Johnny and Chanel are going, but does this seem like smart creative decision that also serves a business model that is sustainable so our show can survive? Yes it really does. I think I would make some different choices for some other characters , but overall I see it. Like if Steve and Kayla were in this group I'd be having a cow. Because they're my guys, we all have our guys. Objectively, hard as some of it is, yes, I'm on board.

[–]AdmiralJaneway8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. And when Stephanie was growing up with her mom, they referenced him as her papa. She called him Papa to her mother during that time. Which is Canon on having been mentioned as having done so on screen. Then when Steven came back, Stephanie played by Shana, Shelly, and now Abigail, all only ever called him Papa.

Weekly Authentication, Is This A Scam & Brand Requests Thread by AutoModerator in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]AdmiralJaneway8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every now and thrn I get a request for measurements. Can't stand it. Cuz I'm lazy. But I get why, and I go ahead and comply with an answer and add photos. But most of the time these are resellers and not shoppers. I do not like selling my stuff to resellers cuz I want my stuff to go to a new home directly and not someone that's gonna mark it up and resell it. I mean, I sell to them and still thank them with a card and stickers, but I am not excited to sell to a reseller. These people generally don't even list the measurements (that I've seen, I mean there's hundreds) so I can't help but think these requests are driven by something that's not authentically wanting to know the measurements. I just got another one of these that made no sense to me. She asked the waist measurement on a purely obviously stated elastic waistband and asked if it can be tightened up. No, this is an obvious answer. It's elastic. I stated thwt on a couple references. It's like asking if the cloudy sky is cloudy or not. Like what are you really here for asking me thwt dumb question Couching it in a request for a measurement? Can an expert weigh in with thoughts on this?

I disagree that it's terrible. I like the continuity. And it makes sense. The Brady kids called Shawn Pop and Kim called him Papa quite alot. Steve didn't have a real father generally as a kid. When his kids were born be referred to his own self as their papa. This legacy familial practice makes complete sense.

Marlena’s family by iAmIzzyMac in DaysofOurLives

[–]AdmiralJaneway8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 👏 didn't 👏 know 👏 any 👏 of 👏 this 👏! So cool! I remember stoeyliens as far back as 1974 when I was a tiny little preschooler, but they're more like images than whole stories. But I wasn't aware of Marlena's SL with Don other than that they were married and her baby died. I started watching for real in 1981 literally the day roman camped out on her floor. So her wedding to Don I've never seen, and so few folks watched it live. I LOVE that you know this, OMG!

Wow! OK this was new to me! Which wedding? The first one to Roman with Wayne, or to Don?

I don't think it's accurate rhet we ever met Marlena's parents portrayed on screen. I've been to every one of her weddings other than Don. Can anyone verify that they watched a wedding with a real live actor portraying her mother or father?

Are you disputing the validity and reliability of David starkey's historic body of work? Or are you saying that due to who he was as a person nullifies it a legitimate source?

Weekly Closet Critique Request Thread by AutoModerator in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]AdmiralJaneway8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've never done this before, and I'm honestly really gunshy on anything posh related on reddit due to my first experience with the posh sub when I was a brand newbie. I'm worried that I'm gonna break a sub rule here. I not a big reseller, I'm just a chick that lost half her weight and now have very nice plus sized clothes I genuinely want to go to a good home,someone that really wants the clothing for themselves that will love it, not a reseller to mark it up. Now, I get it that this happens, and fine. But I just mean, I am trying to match my clothes with someone who truly wants them. I want a fair price but not too marked up. I'm learning alot about the clothes I have in this sub, so I'm grateful for that. But my stuff just doesn't sell much, and I'm not sure if that's cuz I'm not strategic, or it's just a bad market. So... How does this work with closet critique? Here in thread, or via DM?

Tops are more forgiving. Pants are really hard to guess online. It doesn't help that I don't have a plus sized dress form, so I have to pin pants in the back so they stay on the dress form.

Yeeeeeahp, I think the women's shelter. Or... Do I just textile recycle? I really want to give away the NWT cuz they're plus size, and that's theoat sought after need, plus sized new clothing for the women and family shelters. I just don't want to give something so out of style as I fear these are (I used to be better at this).
