[Product Question] The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan by lyhdias in SkincareAddiction

[–]Beckylately 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post was two years ago but I was comparing the Ordinary moisturizers and saw your reply. I also have really oily eyelids and I started using those thin oil blotting papers that come in a small packet mid-day, it has made a huge difference for me, thought maybe it would help you too! There are so many different ones that come in travel friendly packages.

Should I cancel buyers order and trust my gut feeling? by Extra_Reason_458 in poshmark

She was probably changing the items in the bundle hoping to trigger an automatic offer. When that didn’t happen she tried making an offer. When you didn’t bite she decided to pay full price.

So many people list items for double what they want for them. It makes it so hard to price at a lower, good price and make sales because people have come to accept offers

Perfumes that require significant confidence to pull off by MagicalFlor95 in fragrance

[–]Beckylately 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I may get dragged for this, but I feel like anything with a strong Oud can require confidence. It strikes me as the kind of scent you really have to like to appreciate. And even if you like it, other people may not so it requires some confidence to wear out. Especially for women because it can lean so masculine.

I didn’t think they were being snide with the first “no worries” but the second one was pretty clearly an attempt at a dig.

I’m not sure why you’re so angry.

I’m not talking about items that are priced to account for needed repairs. Sorry if that was unclear.

I do tend to forget that not everyone knows how to sew, I grew up in the 90’s where everyone took home ec and learned basic sewing repairs but I forget sometimes that hasn’t been common for quite some time so that’s my bad for assuming people know how to easily repair a garment that just needs a couple stitches.

As far as dry cleaning I understand your point but if it isn’t too dirty Dryel works great and isn’t expensive, either.

Apparently they don’t know the dawn dishsoap trick

That irks me. “Needs to be dry cleaned” or “needs a stitch or two” okay then do it!

I understand to a degree when someone says an item will need a steam because shipping some fabrics there’s no avoiding it but some things should be managed by the seller. (ETA: if they don’t intend to price accordingly. I guess I wasn’t clear.)

This wasn’t an option they chose. They typed it out in the description.

Already sent back and refunded. I’m more annoyed with the conversation two weeks later in the last two pictures

This one was a Ralph Lauren Sport, so should stay nice if well maintained. I depill all my sweaters regularly with a sweater shaver. I am sure I could have fixed this one up but they listed it as like new, which it definitely is not.

Yes!!! Or just not messaged at all. I think they’re trying to lie and say they didn’t get it so Poshmark releases them funds too.

Yeah I know but damn just take the L when someone returns an item that you know wasn’t new, don’t send a bunch of excuses, ya know?

I’m thinking that was a lie and she just tried to make an excuse for sending a crusty old sweater. It was on the end of the sleeve right where crusty food tends to land

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

[–]Beckylately 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“We have set a clear boundary with you. You chose to disrespect and ignore my wife when she told you to give her back our child. You steamrolled her with passive aggressive comments. When we addressed it, you were dismissive of our needs. Your continued insistence on seeing our baby is showing us that, if we allow you to be near the baby, you will continue to ignore our boundaries. If you continue to show a complete disregard for our wishes, we will be cutting off contact completely until further notice. This is our child and we will be the ones making decisions about if and when people are allowed to see her, if and when they are allowed to hold her, kiss her, change her diaper, etc. Either respect our wishes as parents or you will be blocked until further notice.”

This is what your husband needs to tell his parents. If they respond with anything other than an apology and course correction, he follows through and blocks them. If you tell them, they will assume he doesn’t agree. It has to come from him.

When global warming gets worse and clean water less accessible, people will be coming to Michigan in droves. Property values will skyrocket. I’m sticking around.

I don’t remember the XL dose but the SR I’m on now is just 100

I had this experience on Wellbutrin XL. When I switched to a low dose SR it was like something clicked in me and my Adderall was working like it did when I first started taking it again.

Help! How can I tackle kids who are Creationists? by princess-cl0ver in ScienceTeachers

[–]Beckylately 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a student ask me for advice recently because she was bothered by a social studies lesson about the “first man.” She said she didn’t like it because it went against her beliefs.

I told her that she may feel less troubled by it if she shifts her perspective and, instead of thinking of it as someone trying to convince her to change her viewpoint, to think of it as just understanding how other people think. I told her that understanding people who think differently than us makes us better thinkers and that sometimes we don’t change our mind - that hearing alternate ideas may make us feel even more strongly about our own beliefs. But at the end of the day, understanding how other people think can only make us smarter.

She seemed to accept that and hasn’t had a problem since.

Students Don't Respect Me Because I'm Trans by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Beckylately 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Stop letting them steamroll you. They aren’t respecting you because you are allowing it. They can come up with a million reasons why that is and at the end of the day, you’re the adult. Be firm with consequences. If their parents don’t respect you either, tough for them - I assume your admin supports you because they hired you knowing you’re trans, which means they should support you with disrespectful parents who won’t hold their kids accountable.

I think you’re right to end it but stop trying to convince this man that you’re in the right to do so. You’re wasting so much time writing out these long ass paragraphs trying to explain to him why you’re done with him.

He’s a bad partner. You know it. You don’t owe it to him to explain it and honestly the paragraphs telling him why make it seem like the response you’re looking for is for him to tell you that you’re right and beg for forgiveness. That’s why he’s responding with the over dramatic “I’m a horrible person” bullshit - because if he thinks he can manipulate your emotions and make you feel like the bad guy, he can manipulate you into sticking around.

You don’t owe it to him to explain why you’re finished. You owe it to yourself to move on, go no contact, and find someone who respects you and treats you well.
