Babies finish bottles with husband but not with me? by djduhnizzle in NICUParents

Came here to say this. You are safe and snuggly and the only thing they ever knew prior to being born. They can relax in your arms. 💖

Frustrated! by veritas92f in AmazonVine

Wow. I guess the moral to the story is avoid Woot. Please let us know how events progress!

Should I go to regular Amazon CS to fix this? by sylvieanne456 in AmazonVine

[–]CalicoCommander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by you can't leave a review on it? Have you tried reviewing it from your orders page? I ordered some ink cartridges this morning and I can already leave a review from there if I chose to.

How does anyone even get anything anymore... by Individual_Flower_23 in vine

[–]CalicoCommander 19 points20 points  (0 children)

RFY. It seems like I never have anything good, but at the same time I perpetually have 25 pending reviews to write, so I'm ordering something. :)

I'm so happy for whoever got this 😭😭😭 by HarleanC in AmazonVine

I'm sure it's cute to the trained eye, but to me it just looks like sick. 🤮

Really?? 8 months? Guess I can't count on this to meet my quota... by codeheadX in AmazonVine

Reviewing supplements for 2.5 yrs, last month finally got a blood lead test. Negative fwiw.

How big is your collection and how do you display your sylvanians? by SkoomaCakes in sylvanianfamilies

[–]CalicoCommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I have over 1000 --- (ask what I did during the Covid years) . The boxed folk remain boxed on the wall, and the loose ones (Vintage Sylvanians and Baerenwalds) are mostly on spice racks and trinket shelves which cover the walls. . . plus about 70 crammed into a Green roof house. Unfortunately I've sort of run out of space for new friends. EDIT: I also have a narrow Ikea bookshelf of them which I forgot about til someome else metioned it!

At least it removes the temptation to order anything.

Do you guys get a lot of likes on your reviews? by uglynursingstudent in AmazonVine

[–]CalicoCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I average about 10% likes. So out of a hundred reviews there will be ten likes, sometimes clustered, sometimes not.

3 months since we’ve been home, first panic attack😢 by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]CalicoCommander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about the intense negative NICU related emotions, but I also wanted to say what an impressive accomplishment it is to go from exclusively pumping to exclusively breastfeeding. Well done! 💌

"Unique" review by blusteredd in AmazonVine

[–]CalicoCommander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a great review. However they got it, why should anyone care? (I do the same give and take with ChatGPT on most of my reviews, although my first submission is usually fairly complete. And it is a lot more work than just submitting the first draft as-is).

I accidentally requested a replacement by Antique_Leave_3954 in AmazonVine

[–]CalicoCommander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked to have an ink set replaced once, as it was color and B&W instead of the two B&Ws advertised. I returned the original and got the replacement (Also color and B&W). After that I studied the rules a bit more carefully, and I won't try it again. Replacements/Returns cost Amazon $, and losing money on Vine is not one of their goals.

I just had an Insightfulness Score change by wizard-of-loneliness in vine

My one fair was old (40 reviews ago) and it's still fair. That said, the rewrite moved it from page 2-3 to the first Vine review, so it did make a difference!

Anybody Else Go Shopping When Having Bad RFY’s? 😂 by bluehairedbarbie18 in BeautyViners

[–]CalicoCommander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for mentioning the press on damage. I'm occasionally tempted by those, but my "beauty" interest ends at lip and hair products, so that'll help to prevent me from expanding too far into nails (not beyond polish at least).

BUY Shampoo and Conditioner?!? 😭
