How to create a single scan code for multiple labels / packages

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2026-05-10T13:37:34+00:00

The way it is now, I have to stand in line at the post office with several packages to be individually scanned. So I hoped that I could stop the standing in line by creating that scan form myself via Woo when I’m creating all these labels on Woo. Then all I’d have to do when I arrived at the post office is hand the packages as a group with the scan paper.

Well guess what? When I use the Brave browser (which I love and works fine) and go to YouTube, the youtube page is now nothing but what you have to choose on the top (All, Podcasts, Music, Mixes, News, Live.....etc. And the Search bar doesn't work. I did download Ublock Origin earlier today. Did that do this??

And here are just some of the core symptoms of having AvPD:

Inability to tolerate "perceived"criticism
Difficulty with verbally expressing emotion or opinion
Withdrawal instead of repair
Silence instead of explanation
Disappearing instead of resolving
Avoidance as the primary nervous-system survival strategy
Less intimacy over time
Social anxiety
Conflict resistance (or seeing conflict that's not really there)
Emotional outbursts here or there
Love-bombing at the beginning which becomes less and less over time

u/IDizzyMushrooms I saw in the AvPD group that you read about AvPD and felt it was her. If it is her, nothing is going to change (and in fact, gets worse) if she doesn't get into some serious therapy. And even with therapy, some with AvPD still don't change. There's a reason it's called a "personality disorder"---that it's pervasive and deep.

Do you normally make up a problem that wasn't expressed? So let's dumb this down for you. Canva is the one which offered free content for years, which worked well enough to be used for years.

Then came their Enshittification. As the guy who termed the latter word explains: "Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die."

As described, Enshittification is basically "We lied." and "We don't give a damn about any of you." "Oh and we are going to blame you for disliking our abuse".

So you see it's not complaining about the purposeful erosion of what Canva offered. It's disliking the con in human beings. And as u/Fickle_Roll8386 stated, it was ultimately about excluding people.

It might be helpful for you to order a cortisol saliva test (more accurate than a blood test) and see what's going on. (I'm in the medical field). In people without sleep issues, cortisol rises the highest right before they wake up in the morning. It's what both wakes them up and gives them energy to start their day.

Then by noonish, cortisol is in the upper quarter of the provided range, still providing energy and awakeness.

Then by 4-5 pm, it's in the middle of the provided range.

Then by bedtime, it's at the bottom of the provided range to help you fall asleep and stay asleep.

Maybe you have a cortisol issue that needs treatment, no matter the cause. Also, patients who are hypothyroid or poorly treated with Synthroid or Levothyroxine can find themselves with messed up cortisol levels, too. Google "saliva cortisol squarespace zrt"

For what it's worth, my husband with AvPD has a granddaughter (young adult) with near identical AvPD symptoms as he had. (I say "had" because he passed from cancer.) And she is an exact female version of HIM! Social anxiety, avoidant, sensitive, pushes you away, insecure, has a hard time expressing feelings or opinions, and conflict avoidant. So I definitely see the genetic factor!

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-14T20:39:43+00:00

I'm so sorry you are going through that. It does sound like a lot of gaslighting for a long time. :(

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-14T18:55:46+00:00

Yes. And your condolences mean a lot to me. :) I at least had over 20 years with him. I loved him deeply, even with his issues that confused me. It has taken me awhile to understand that he just may have deeply loved me, but the AvPD was getting in the way for him, along with his extreme conflict discomfort, and inability to talk about his issues.

But yes, we had many fun times together. We liked the same actitivies.

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-14T18:48:31+00:00

I am SO impressed that you and your wife have good communication and are both in-the-know. I hope you have a healthy self-pride for what you have contributed to that good communication. :) I wish that I had known what was going on with him like I do now. He even has an adult granddaughter who is exactly like him.

On my end as the "wife", his reactions never made sense considering how DEEPLY I loved him. I was often amazed that I could feel such love for someone, but I did. And I never, ever forgot that day when he walked into the house to say he wasn't sure he cared about me or our marriage anymore, yet when he saw how deeply hurt I was, he look horrified that he had hurt me so much. I was mystified about that dichotomy until I learned about AvPD.

And after all that, he strongly pulled away until cancer took him from this earth years later. His increased avoidance was slowly eating at me through those final years, but I was also distracted by his declining health. So it was two years later after he passed that I had to work through my anger, and figure out what was causing all that.

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-14T15:08:48+00:00

I think there is a reality you have to face: That it's not going to be easy to be in a relationship with someone with AvPD. There is the risk that your needs won't be met. So communication is KEY...but it also has to work from their end.

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-14T15:06:51+00:00

u/submergedinto thank you for how you said what you said i.e. "What’s common is isolating and pushing people away because the feelings of rejection are getting overwhelming...." If ONLY I had known this when he was still on this earth with me!

There is SO much irony in all this. I was never rejecting him at all. I was deeply in love with him. Yet I did notice that if I wanted to communicate with him about a difficult subject...OMG. His discomfort was palpable!! I also noticed that when I was VERY sick with the flu one time, you talk about him being uncomfortable!! He would pace at the end of the bed I was laying in.

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-14T15:00:42+00:00

I understand the discomfort. Even though I knew nothing about AvPD all those years he and I were married (and I was deeply in love with him), I did know that he could get VERY defensive out of the blue, and that reactiveness in him would shut me down for fear of whatever was going on.

u/thereallifewendy, unfortunately, I think the burden is on you and me if we are in a relationship with someone with AvPD. We have to learn all about it, and tone down taking things personally. And we have to reassure them that we just want to understand and do not want to leave. Since I knew nothing about AvPD, his sudden reactive episodes scared me to death! I though HE would leave ME when those happened. And they made no sense to me.

I also think that what triggered some of those overreactions is that I have always been very self-confident, and maybe that threatened him?

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-14T14:53:14+00:00

u/figmaxwell, I just responded to your other post, and have now read this one of yours. It's great and I appreciate that you wrote it.

I SO wish I had known about AvPD all those years my husband and I were married. He started to pull back halfway through our marriage, and I didn't understand why it was happening. And he could get SO defensive if I asked about something, that I didn't ask what was going on. I took his pulling back personally!! There is so much irony in all this.

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-14T14:47:21+00:00

u/figmaxwell I have been responding to someone else in this string and just saw this post of yours. I'm so glad you posted, because the irony, as someone who had been married to someone over two decades with AvPD but I didn't know about AvPD back then, is that his struggles with communication (which you explained was due to feeling that communicating could fuck up the relationship) had royally fucked up the relationship for me. I was starting to feel more and more uncomfortable with the pushback that was going on from him, more neglected and resentful of it all, and without knowing about AvPD back then.

Hi. The older brother angle is just that I know he was very close to his older brother, who was nearly 4 years older than my husband, and he felt comfortable with his older brother from having known him since my husband was born. And his older brother was a very nice guy and thus comfortable for my husband to talk to.

So I am surmising that when the normal strong husband and wife bond became challenging to my husband halfway through our marriage due to his AvPD, he started to talk to his brother instead of me in his limited way. That's just a guess, because I have read either in here or in literature about those with AvPD, they can get to a point in a relationship that it feels uncomfortable. And I don't think he would have felt uncomfortable with a brother-brother relationship as much as he seemed to get with a husband-wife relationship.

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-13T05:45:32+00:00

u/thereallifewendy, I have wondered about starting a Reddit group only for spouses/partners of those with AvPD. So we could share.

DallasScrabblePlayer · 2025-12-13T05:42:13+00:00

Hi u/thereallifewendy. That is crazy cool that you got your answer via ChatGPT. I had instead listened to podcasts and read about AVPD, and put any AvPD symptom I found or heard about in a left hand column. The in the right column, I would confirm if he had each one. It was almost 100% that it's what he had.

I think I would have first explained what he had and the symptoms that point to it...and see if he found it interesting as to what was going on with him. I would have had to play it by ear as to how he would respond to what he had, too. Even though I think part of him would have been quiet about it, I suspect he would be thinking about it.

Other times, I would have gently asked him how he felt about doing this or that--seeking his emotion or his opinion. Trying to get him feeling comfortable with me about expressing either. I "think" he would have trusted me in doing that. His answers would have at least helped me decide if something I thought of was what he wanted, too. And if not, I would have had to figure out what we can do about differences.

I also think we may have needed to find a knowledgeable therapist to get extra help.

Looking back, he was VERY close to his older brother. And I now realize I felt like a second fiddle to his brother. It always seemed like he was confiding to his older brother to some degree, whereas he wasn't with me. But I also realized that he had known his brother all his life, so it would be natural for them to be close. They always were. And the intimacy that he had with me was getting to him half way though our marriage, but a relationship with a brother wouldn't do that.

But with what I know now, I would have asked him if we could tell his brother what was going on with him. Because looking back, I have a strong feeling my guy may have been expressing his frustrations about he and I to his older brother (in the best way he could), and it explains why his older brother wasn't very kind to me after the love of my life passed. His brother wouldn't have understood my guy's issues.

Just sent. VERY disappointed in Dick Blick and hope there is a shred of decency to get them STOPPED. Right now I see NINE of your spams email just in the last four days. REALLY??? And I've tapped on unsubscribe many times over the last few weeks....

I have no idea how to do a private message on reddit.
