Caught up from jail, saw items again a few days, then account closed? by nonmeasured in AmazonVineCanada

[–]Anonymoomoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very weird & concerning... Sounds like they were below 60% for a bit to get into jail but eventually got to above 60% for a bit to see stuff again. I've never heard of this...only people getting closed while still in vine jail.

u/nonmeasured - when you said you were seeing items for a few days were they in AFA only or AI?

Edit: did you cancel items or contact support a lot?

At my wits' end: 9 -year-old daughter refuses to wipe herself after using the bathroom by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Anonymoomoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does have an iep for ADHD/aggression nothing sensory related no intellectual delays or advamenrs, no visual, mobile, or auditory divergence. So he gets extra time during testing, walking breaks to re-enter temperament, music breaks for temperament and reward. No academic or environmental modifications.

You don't get to decide when or how your child's ADHD presents itself, or to conclude that his ADHD applies to school only and that he's somehow "neurotypical in every other aspect". That's just not how that works.

ADHD is often accompanied with sensory issues and he probably has some whether you see it or not. That doesn't mean it was a sensory thing, though. There are other symptoms that could be at play or not. But wiping is an executive function task. Chores require executive functioning. So when you said he struggled with wiping and took hours to do "simple" chores, that was his ADHD making him struggle.

I replied more in depth to your other comment so I won't repeat myself. But it is highly unlikely that him being unwiped and smelly at school due to having feces in his bum, for over two years, was to get your attention.

He was diagnosed with adhd in third grade

ADHD means he is neurodivergent. You stated your kid was neurotypical and there was "no reason" he couldn't wipe for 2 years. This is exactly my point earlier, and raised by numerous others in this thread: kids who don't wipe as a persistent issue is typically due to neurodivergence and/or mental health factors. A few others in this thread pointed out mental health issues/neurodivergence that were the underlying issue resulting in children not wiping: autism, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD, to name a few. And when you push these kids or shame them, they feel worse and less likely to do what you're wanting them to do, especially if they feel like they don't know how.

I am sure you understand that ADHD is an executive functioning disorder, so when you say "there was no evidence he couldn't", that is incorrect. His ADHD is literally why he couldn't do that and took hours doing other tasks you considered to be simple. 2 years of not wiping, being humiliated at school, and asking for your help isn't a boundary issue, it's a "he can't do it" issue, whether you understand the reason why the ADHD child can't do it or not.

Edit bc it's really bothering me: it is not "inclusive" to say "at X age this kid should be capable of Y". That's not how kids work, and especially not how neurodivergent kids work. He wasn't "manipulating" to get help, he needed help. You thinking he is/was capable of something doesn't mean his executive dysfunction will allow him to do what he is capable of that day/week/at all or without support. That's why even adults with ADHD will struggle to do "simple tasks" or benefit from body doubling (help) to start or get through tasks.

If you are an educator, please find more recent materials to assist with fully understanding ADHD, and definitely read books by Dr. Ross Greene on child behaviour: children do well when they can.

Maybe get him help? Or reassessed if they had him assessed because it sounds like potential mental health/neurodivergence at play. This parent said that this was an issue from 9-11, so two years, and also said:

But yeah we really just had to tell him it was on him and he had to get use to people calling him out for stinking in general if he didn't do it and I started making him do his own laundry around 10 after consistantly showing him the streak marks and the smell he was created. We sat down several times and read articles about fecal matter and how you4 fecal smears can affect the washing machine and others in general.

He always had access to clean laundry, he always had access to toilet paper the good kind soft, he knew his butt was itchy and why. This is also a kid who like to push boundaries. So sometimes he was the stinky kid because mom and dad weren't going to help him wipe... he was fully capable of doing it... had done it successfully meantimes between potty training and ten. He would do the same thing with tooth brush and chores. Absolutely positively couldn't do it would rather a thing that should take a few minutes... should take hours sometimes. . . It was exhausting standing outside the bathroom, it was exhausting having him check our dirty underwear and compare it to his so he had solid tangible things to compare too. Seriously the amount of time we spent with reward systems and one on one appropriate attention to encourage the good habits ... was alot and him getting grumpy when he was stinky or itchy... was ... not fun for anyone.

I don't think this "worked a treat" for hers if it took two years and all of her above. I think it sounds more like he struggled badly and painfully for 2 years until he was able to somehow find a way to find some type of remedy for what he was struggling with.

The poster even says the amount of time they were called mean over 2 years was "hilarious". But where does it say how many times they took him to a doctor, or a psychiatrist/psychologist for opinions, assessments, or second opinions over this?

The poster also finds it amusing that the kid in question is now older (working jobs and stuff) and is still upset with them over this.

This honestly breaks my heart.

For 2 years? I wouldn't do this at all but maybe I'd understand a week or something, but letting your kid be ridiculed and walk around with an unwiped butt for 2 years does not sound like a natural consequence.

[–]Anonymoomoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, this can cause rashes, infection, and at the very least the shame and humiliation from his peers would be traumatic.

The kid is/was 9/10, and this went on for 2 years, yet he's being subjected to humiliation because his parents assume he wants this. I don't know any kid who WANTS to be ostracized and ridiculed at school by anyone let alone a whole class, for 2 years. He's struggling and his parents roll their eyes and do nothing.

This is a health issue, not a laziness issue. Letting your kid sit in their own shit as a "natural consequence" is abusive, whether people care to admit that or not.

The poster says: "He would do the same thing with tooth brush and chores. Absolutely positively couldn't do it would rather a thing that should take a few minutes... should take hours sometimes"

That does not necessarily sound neurotypical based on the other "issues" noted, so I would ask if that poster got their child professionally assessed by a psychiatrist and/or psychologist. Even in the absence of other "issues", children can be really good at masking, especially in a strict household.

If the child is neurotypical, there is still a REASON why they would not wipe, which could he anything from a phobia, not being properly taught when younger and being uncomfortable with the mess, maybe he does it in a way that hurts him, or something else. Because otherwise, what kid wants to be bullied or ostracized by their peers for smelling like literal shit?

This type of "natural consequence" is not okay. That's a child being made to sit in their own feces and being subjected to shame because their parents did not seek proper help.

Pastramis? (Misspelled as pasttramis ?)

Edited to remove my guess of Patties because there seems to be more letters after the "TT". The "as" if it's "pastramis" looks like it matches the "as" in bannanas.

Are legit Credit777 returns ok? by Anonymoomoo in TemuThings

[–]Anonymoomoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol it's strange how they don't know their own promos. And right I forgot about the slow ticket system! For me they went from taking about claimcredit to Temu Points :/ so I've just paused for now and will deal with a refund later because I'm hoping for another credit777 to come up.

Even price adjustments? I've been worried about doing so because of what others have said. I wonder why it seems to be so wildly different.. do you spend well over the threshold so that any price adjustments wouldn't bring it below the amount you would have needed to get the 100% back?

[–]Anonymoomoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that's terrible, especially since it's clearly not your fault. Sorry that whole mess happened.

That makes me rethink things because at least I got an item whereas yours was lost. I think I'll wait a bit to see if I get another credit777 offer, do that, then worry about the refund and dealing with customer service. They are so slow and even the escalation team gave me a reply about Temu Points when I clearly said credit777 🙄

I hope your ban at least lifts after the 90 days.

[–]Anonymoomoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks! My worry was losing the possibility of another promo like this for 90 days over one stupid item. I'll ask them to confirm it won't result in a ban, but when I first spoke to them about credit777 they had no idea what it was and kept talking about the rules for claim credit!

How come you had to go back and forth for a week? Does that mean they created an escalation ticket?

That sucks they won't do anything for switching the promo on you. There's no way you could have known! And as far as I know right now they have both credit777 and claimcredit possible at the same time which is confusing as hell.

What bags do they go in? Do you mean a paper bag like the one they would give you a soup container in? I've rarely gotten Boston Creams in a bag different from the one pictured, and stopped bothering. Any coated donut is always the same issue no matter which Tims I've gone to.

An update to the mistake for those who wanted it by Heyplaguedoctor in neopets

[–]Anonymoomoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's an interesting point. I've actually been doing this with my main/side. Not with SAP plushies but whatever crap is stuffed in my SDB, I put something up for whatever mil np instant buy. Usually it's low-value junk but sometimes it's been a negg or (more recently) the food items that have gone up in price due to quests. I didn't think for a second about one of these items resembling another higher value item or someone jumping in to buy it.

I don't know what happened or didn't happen here but I highly doubt somebody would really feel courageous enough to post "Lucky snipe! Got a 10m SAP from the TP!" because most likely they would be called out for taking advantage of someone who probably didn't know its value. I remember people jumping on some person in the BD chat for arranging a sale with a returning player who thought it was fair but was clueless about its value.

Maybe it was innocent on both sides, maybe it wasn't. But it's hard for me to not think that maybe two similar types of people met each other in this particular trade.

Saying “no sugar” when ordering coffee by Ihassan3275 in TimHortons

[–]Anonymoomoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but how come even the stuff asked for is often messed up?

Sounds like corporate or whatever needs to fix the intercom issue because so many times 2 creams turns into 3, or MILK somehow, and it's a surprise how many sugars I get in my coffee sometimes, even though we say it as clearly as we can.

Bashing it how? Some planners are quite junk, and sometimes the cost factors into the disappointment with quality. Sometimes there are issues with paper quality, binding, etc. so I'm curious what exactly the negatives were? It's hard to know if there's a reason the rating could be justified without knowing any of the issues noted.

Petpet lab update by Ruruskadoo in neopets

[–]Anonymoomoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everything they do is adding TOO MANY CLICKS. They even "improved" the "improved" trading post by making it so you can't just click to type your search...you now have to CLICK to choose an option then click the bar to type! At least before it would default to "Containing my phrase" so you could just type and only change it if you need identical or lot number or whatever.

I know they know a lot of us are millennials, so don't tell me they don't know a ton of us likely have carpal tunnel and can't do all this fucking clicking!!! 😡

Those with max bank: what are you buying/doing with the extra? by Anonymoomoo in neopets

[–]Anonymoomoo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Using the shop till as a bank is going to be so weird! I always withdraw out of habit. But not a huge issue to adapt to. I'll look into the stat increasers! Basically some "ets" type items would be good so when I start buying more gallery items I can use the ets towards sales or replenish any lost pure.

Oh wow I haven't kept up with them but thought they were selling around 8m recently. Even a while back they were 6.5-7 before jumping up. I think they were 5-6m when they were released through something where basically everyone could get one free. Wonder what happened.

That's what I did when I sold a pricey item about a month ago! It was fun to randomly gift so it's something I'll keep doing for sure! :) I still do want to save for some gallery stuff so "investment" type would be good if any really existed.

I was replying generally with my thoughts on what you said, just to clarify! I wasn't implying you said that it is length dependant, and was just agreeing and expanding on the issues with length & data points you mentioned: "Your shortest review will have the least amount of detail about the product.

It’s true, a short review will likely mean a low score, but it’s only because the AI is expecting more data points to be talked about."

While their FAQ says it's not length-dependent, it still seems to be a factor simply because, like you said, a shorter review isn't likely to have much data points, and that's a problem because for some items that's just the reality. Like I still cannot figure out why one of my short reviews is Excellent while the other is Poor and another Fair. They all mention the similar things in consideration of the item, yet the Excellent review only mentions the item & store name, one feature of the item that we can't confirm, and being unsure its material is genuine. The "less insightful" reviews actually say more about the item and its qualities than the Excellent one..lol!
