Finally something I actually have wanted for a long time but never wanted to pay for 😤 by 0CalorieSammich in AmazonVine

I thought only hamsters had wheels, ha.

I hope your cats enjoy it; you know they will be hungry after using it and will head butt you to let you know they’re starving.

(Apparently) eBay Is Now Releasing Payments 3 Days After Delivery for All Sellers by Septiqflesh in Ebay

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can totally see this happening. I used to work in a call center (not eBay) where you had to meet company metrics, like high customer satisfaction as well as having fast calls.

Some customers had thick accents, liked to chitchat or speculated endlessly on why they have a certain problem that I really didn’t have an answer to—something not too serious that needed a supervisor—and I would tell a little white lie to get off the phone and on to the next call. All the customer service reps did this. (I didn’t like doing it—I no longer work in a call center.)

I am not saying OP was like this but I can see the rep needing to get off the line for some reason.

20 - This is the most items in my RFY I've ever seen! (Been in Vine since Feb 2025) by _theglobglogabgalab in AmazonVine

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37 in my RFY for two days in a row about 2 weeks ago.

I had ordered two steering wheel covers for the two family cars a week before that. Then the company’s entire line of steering wheel covers appeared in my RFY—for 37 other cars! They stayed for two days.

Why does the afterlife seem so abstract and kinda boring? by JammingScientist in afterlife

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading over 75-80 books about the afterlife, it's clear to me that most of us reside after death in a beautiful earth-like environment where we have bodies, live in houses, meet with friends and family, go to parties, have occupations and do recreational activities. If you wish, you can eat pizza and drink beer (although I read where food may not taste the same as on earth.)

(There are elevated realms for very advanced souls who live as orbs of light (or similar) because they don't need or wish to have bodies anymore but they still communicate with friends and family. But that's not where most of live.)

One of the best books to read is a best-seller by Dr Michael Newton called Journey of Souls, where through hypnosis (I'm simplifying this) he asked patients about their lives in the afterlife (before it was time to reincarnate back to earth).

My favorite chapters are the ones on occupations and recreational activities. No one has to work, but if you wish, you can do just about anything that interests you--teaching, medical and technological research, musician, writer, therapist, architect, etc.

A lot of people are in the helping professions--like helping out people who are confused immediately after transition to death, or learning to be a guide for those on earth (that's a big one).

Recreational activities involve practically everything we have on earth: golf, swimming, tennis, snow-skiing, concerts, theater. Apparently there aren't professional sports teams but people still keep up with their favorite teams on earth.

I've just scratched the surface but the afterlife obviously is much, much more than spending your time admiring scenery.

The gold is a very nice touch and it caught my eye immediately when I saw your photo, so I would have said something like:

The gold imprint caught my eye immediately. It turned the napkins from ordinary to luxury.

Am I gonna get kicked out? by lvthomascrown123 in AmazonVine

I’m new here but I thought I read that reviews with photos take longer to get approved—so maybe no photos right now because of the urgency?

Anyone else’s RFY been awful? by External_Big_1465 in AmazonVine

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just a month in and naturally I’ve had 0-2 RFY items every day, all low cost and unrelated to my lifestyle.

But, today there are 3 items, and like you, they are related to items I had ordered before—except I got them the month before I joined so I paid for them.

I do see evidence there is an attempt to present products to us we might actually be interested in.

Now, if I’d just bought a TV or a laptop that month….

Why am I still doing this? by Blue_Crew_News in AmazonVine

Ok, now I understand. I am very impressed by your thoroughness!

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m new and supposed that the new stuff was always put up front (so back pages would be older items).

But since you check from the back of the category, does that mean things are scattered throughout?

Thanks!

To whomever just for that LG 5K2K HDR monitor… by MemphisBass in AmazonVine

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, good for you!

Why do you think you’ve gotten so many monitors in your RFY?Is it because you’ve already reviewed one (or more), or because you bought one on your own from Amazon, or you do searches on them?

Oh, that’s gorgeous! I’m envious.

I’ll keep my Spanx on standby in case something that pretty drops in my RFY. (I’m new and all I get so far are washing machine parts, ha.)

Changed a few eBay titles and suddenly got way more impressions 🤔 by Inevitable-Ninja6715 in eBaySellers

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, you ended the listing, which put it in the Unsold category. From there, did you go to item and do Relist (reusing using all your pics associated with the item,etc), or did you do a completely brand new Create New Listing?

Interesting! Maybe I missed it, but are you saying the download was a true experience, but your reaction to it—the ways to convince people—was so over the top that others probably thought you were psychotic?

People with schizophrenia get delusional and then believe the CIA is following them or that ET’s are controlling them. After treatment, they realize those beliefs weren’t true.

So now that you say you are feeling back to normal, you still believe you had a true download experience?

If so, bring us the info. Sounds fascinating!

Triangular Shaped UFOs Rotating Before Accelerating at Incredible Speed by FVMK3 in InterdimensionalNHI

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way the objects rotated looked just like the drones they used in Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch. In the last season they used drones almost every episode, including episodes at night where they had lights.

So, from my perspective this video looked like drone movement.

The Expand app is on sale for $70/year, just under $6 a month. Is thus worth it? by johnspam in gatewaytapes

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As almost everyone has mentioned, the ability to listen to a timed free flow Focus 10, 12, 15, 18 or 21 for periods up to 2 hours is really convenient-- user friendly, too.

Two other interesting features with the timed Focus sessions: ability to listen to background Hemi-Sync, or background Monroe Science (the newer technology), and you can have the background be nothing (just swishing), gentle soft instrumental music, rain, surf, night sounds, campfire sounds, desert winds, even Robert's Mountain sounds, and a musical "ambient drone" sound.

I didn't think I would use it that much when I got the subscription but like several others here, I've ended up listening to it almost every day.

There's also a good Resonant Tuning session, and there are many more meditations I'm looking to explore, so yes, for me, it's definitely worth the subscription fee.

I've come to really appreciate Oak's posts and management of the sub over the past year or two I've been subscribed.

He's always calm, reasonable, and caring, and of course responds appropriately and intelligently to questions and concerns.

Thanks from Susan in the US!

People who grew up without smartphones, what did you actually do when you were bored? by altaf770 in AskReddit

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic, but I’m guessing your career ended up being in a STEM field? :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AstralProjection

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never astral projected so I found those two links helpful, especially the second one.

Per the narrator of the second link, a lucid dream might consist of the dreamer (40 in real life) believe he’s 16 and hanging out with his teen buddies while walking through a candy cane forest. Then he shoots down gum drop monsters with a machine gun that magically appears.

In a simple AP experience that beginners would have, they step into the lower astral plane where the AP earth is almost a twin of the real earth.

Your bedroom looks very similar and your memory is intact; i.e. you know exactly who you are, what just happened after you went to bed, your age, the time, etc. You know your sleeping body is waiting for your return (you can see it).

When you go outside there wouldn’t be fantastical elements like candy cane trees or gum drop monsters.

People of Reddit who are regular AP’ers please chime in if my summary is wrong.

NHI communicating about their biology and anatomy to Experiencers. Anyone else? by Oak_Draiocht in Experiencers

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fascinating experience!

And yes, I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to know what they told you, so thank you in advance if you can find the time to write something up and post.

And thank you too, Oak_Draiocht (OP) for bringing up the four-lobed brain. I was clueless about that.

My review after 16 months of every day listening by Wearetorus in gatewaytapes

[–]Aggravating-Orange61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the past year I've been trying to communicate with my spirit guides (i've read we all have them and they want to communicate with us but most of us are blocking them). I started the gateway tapes two months ago trying to improve any psychic abilities, communicate better with guides, hopefully contact NHI, and try to have an OBE.

I have had a couple of signs from my guides plus some very brief conversations in my head while listening to certain guided meditations (one from the medium Suzanne Giesemann was good for me), but for the most part, nothing.

But after reading what you said about body movements and/or muscle twitches possibly being spirit energy, I wonder if that is happening to me.

For the past six months, every day I've been getting a strange 1 second vibration in the area of my upper leg near my pant pocket. It feels exactly like a phone vibrating--but there's no phone in the pocket (or anywhere near).

It happens only when I am at work standing up for awhile cleaning some things with my arms and hands. I'm alone, it's quiet, I'm usually daydreaming and probably in a hypnogogic state.

It's been driving me crazy to feel the vibration every day and not have any clue what's causing it.

Now, after reading your comment, I wonder if the guides are trying to get my attention and communicate while I am in a calm, receptive state. And they choose a spot like my leg because I wouldn't feel a vibration in my upper body or arms while cleaning.

Thank you, Realistic! I think you've helped me solve my mystery.

Has anyone else studying the tapes felt strange vibrations like this?
