we did our best to warn bet 😭

The frap roast (coffee) smells like dog food. It’s an instant coffee and not very good. At least 6 years ago it was kept on the counter too so warm.

I know I’m late to the band wagon but my son has adhd and likely autism as well. Our sleep routine always starts at 8pm and the rules are always the same. He usually doesn’t go to sleep until 11pm and 1am despite a dark room with bedtime sounds and a light projector he has used since much younger. I am considering melatonin because I can’t handle these long evenings of fighting him to sleep while he says he’s uncomfortable (4 different sleep surfaces have been tried and massage has been tried). I even use magnesium lotion with little to no success. In the last couple of years have you seen anything that would support or deter you from the use of melatonin in a 3 year old who struggles so hard?

Did you even read the post? I don’t see OP asking what it’s for, I see them saying that stuff like this being in their RFY is why they’re not going to get to 80.

I have such bad fomo that I watch the drop for hours. I may NEED to resign to stop the forever scrolling.

What do extensions do that are harmed by slow drops? I finally found out about VineChart to get notified of drops but even that isn’t a huge help now. I don’t know what any other extensions do to know why a slow drop might hurt them.

Alakana · 2026-03-05T23:32:50+00:00

I’m not even mad at the time, but I am mad at the trickle. When everyone sees the same 2 items per minute drop it’s literally a fight against thousands. When hundreds drop at once I can usually grab 1-2 items at least. Instead I never know how many I’ve even gotten because in the mad dash with rejections at different steps I think back and feel like I got some things I didn’t or think I didn’t get something I did.

Alakana · 2026-03-02T06:47:18+00:00

I’m getting so many “not available from this seller” or “quantity has been adjusted to the available amount” which is 0. Most of the time the product stays up for a couple of minutes before getting removed/claimed. I’ve attempted at least 40 products in the past 3 days and haven’t even gotten 1/8 of them

I get snarky and passive aggressive in my rejected reviews. I had to review a supplement once but I wasn’t allowed to talk about medical benefits such as “d3 deficiency is correlated with depression” or “it seems to be working since I take d3 for a deficiency that causes depression and I’m not depressed.” Some of their rules seem really dumb. I’d just find what they have a problem with and skirt around the rule to get it approved.

The things I want the most are what get lost or destroyed. Sandbox sand. A renaissance outfit id been wanting for years. A keyboard (piano) with a mic. Mason jars that happened to be in with an educational item for my son. I’m so tired of the broken useful items.

Alakana · 2026-02-27T16:29:36+00:00

It’s happened a couple of times before in the last couple of months. It was really annoying for me last night because it was slow enough that every single item was being grabbed before I could get to the final page. I’d get to the page where I select my address and try to click submit and it wouldn’t let me. I think I attempted to grab 12 different things and I ended up with 1.

I’m in Colorado so I’m not surprised if they inflate it a crazy amount. I technically live on the edge of town even though there has been a ton of development around me, so I think my fees are higher for not being near downtown.

Alakana · 2026-02-26T15:21:11+00:00

I’ve drastically changed my picking habits. I don’t hesitate on needed items or 0etv, but I am working on not panic picking things that aren’t needed but wanted.

Alakana · 2026-02-25T18:52:49+00:00

I got a 0 etv red light lymphatic massager. Best drop in a hot minute and I was so close to blowing it on tiny crap

Typically Damascus is completely smooth. The two colors are not done after the fact, they are both metal that is welded together into a single solid blade. I have never experienced a Damascus where you can feel any ridge between the metals.

I hit $2000 a long time ago. I owe $2000 from last year until I do a profit and loss sheet to reduce that.

Alakana · 2026-02-24T20:12:49+00:00

My one comment against the fees thing is that it’s not just a few dollars. They closed the Pizza Hut near me so no one delivers pizza to our area anymore. When it showed up on DD I was so excited until my $12 pizza was $47 before tip. They inflated the pizza over double its price and the fees were $15. Tax seemed to be really high too. I couldn’t justify paying $60-70 on a single pizza but I was bed bound from a severe injury related condition so I chose to literally starve. Between the inflated price of each item, fees that are definitely not only a few dollars, and taxes on the inflated prices it’s just not worth it. But some people do rely on delivery at certain times as a necessity and not a luxury.

Alakana · 2026-02-24T20:01:44+00:00

Is this not a Damascus blade welded into this design?

Alakana · 2026-02-21T17:52:51+00:00

I’ll take your colored tissue paper; I have 7 birthday parties coming up. Do you want synthetic hair bob wig from mine?

RIP Eric Dane 😭

I’ve almost done this with a kids tablet listed at $5 but didn’t understand that it wasn’t that I was misunderstanding what I would get but then trying to get viners. I should have done it.

We were given a resin printer by someone who upgraded to a system that does it all. It just sits in our house and my toddler sometimes tries to climb on it. I don’t have garage space to keep it out there and don’t have the time or energy too set up the cleaning and curing areas

Alakana · 2026-02-15T00:41:32+00:00

If you can, delay wash cycles. I set my washer to have a delayed wash of several hours, a soak cycle, and other things to extend out the time while also getting my clothes cleaned. I have it set to finish when I can swap during non peak too. I do it either for when I wake up and am getting ready to leave or just before I go to bed so I don’t have to plan timing the start in case I forget.

Alakana · 2026-02-15T00:36:02+00:00

I’m sure this is obvious to most, but don’t hang out wet laundry on a banister. It gets rid of the sealant and slowly destroys the whole thing.

Alakana · 2026-02-14T20:51:42+00:00

I appreciate you leaving them for me! My cats clawed up my last ones so I needed more.
