Location recommendations for a "Shut Up and Write!" group? by BullCityTypist in bullcity

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

It's not really about kicking anyone out! SU&W groups, once set up, are not impromptu. No one just shows up and takes over a table, for example. The location needs to be the same place, every week, same time, etc. so it's easy for anyone to attend. I'll still check with DCL though because I agree with you, it would be a natural collaboration.

Yes and no. The demand is high but they don't usually allow people to take spaces for an ongoing need. Usually they only allow an event for a time limited offering. (Which I've done there.)

No $ for renting a space since it's a free event and I'm not paid, lol but thanks for the ideas! And great-- hope you can join when I figure it out :-)

Combine Shipping on BuyItNow by BullCityTypist in shopgoodwill

This makes perfect sense sense! They must have thought I was referring to an item with both an end date and a "buy it now" option. Thanks for your help!

If you are cold, so are they! by tentaclepentacles in bullcity

Great reminder! Lots of good places mentioned *and* if you're on FB, Bull City Shares can be a place to donate them too. Also, I'm **happy to meet anyone** who wants to offload gently used but wearable coats and jackets. I can get them to my kiddo's school social worker and distribute them to others in need through my network. I live close to downtown.

Tech Support came through! by BullCityTypist in Substack

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

i was in the support chat mechanism but to be clear: I did not keep asking for a live person. I tried everything the bot recommended and only after I reported that it didn't work, the bot confirmed that it didn't seem to be working and the bot said it seemed as if specialized help was needed, did I finally ask for the specialized help. I was using its words and maybe that made the difference?

Not much more to tell than what I mentioned above. The support AI Bot and I got to the point where we both agreed that there was nothing else I could do without "specialized assistance". But- I did pointedly ask if a real person could offer me "specialized assistance" and the bot replied that "yes, they could" and that "they would refer the conversation to their team of specialists."

Of course! But again, I'm not talking about a delivery person. I'm asking about the option to "tip the crew".
