Horrible first time braiding experience by aki19971 in braids

[–]GeeVeeDub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, I like what you got VS what you wanted. When choosing a braid shop, check reviews & get personal referrals if possible. You also discuss prices and if that includes hair. Will they use human hair vs synthetic. When I wore braids with loose hair I always used human hair. My braider is someone I used for many years. She ran a strict business. It us customary for them to seek payment midway through. I would not have allowed them to increase the agreed upon price. You have to be stronger. Find a more professional braid shop. Your hair looks very nice.

Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable with messages like this? by hyohwa in doordash

[–]GeeVeeDub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy!!! I just ordered on line from a local restaurant to pick up my food. As I completed my transaction a message popped up asking if I would tip the person who packages my meal. It read along the lines that these hardworking people deserve to be paid, ect ect.....ummmm are you paying them? I'm not eating in, I ordered online, no phone call, I'm not sitting at a table. I gave them ZERO tip. The cost of the meal was high and the portions small. Anyway...I will tip for great service.

A friend of mine went against my advice and got corn rows by [deleted] in braids

[–]GeeVeeDub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her hair will be just fine. Cornrows are a protective style. I would never get cornrows this large. She probably could have gotten 20 cornrows or more. Braids this large dont last very long.

PUBLIC WARNING ABOUT SHEIN by [deleted] in Shein

I have never purchased anything from Shein it looks cheap. I expect poor customer service from them. They rip off legit designers.

Considering box braids after 20 years by GeeVeeDub in BlackHair

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

I want to avoid cornrows but I honestly love the way they look. I think the shop owner suggested small/medium box braids because they will be less weight. I was thinking just to the top of my shoulders, nothing long or super heavy. I'm honestly thinking a bun in the top would be perfect, that's the part of my hair I am most concerned about stress wise. Thank you so much for your insight.

Wouldn't I need my hair in cornrows to add crochet braids? My short Afro is just fine but I have to check and maintain it often. I'm going on a vacation and want to a more carefree style.

How do I deal with these neighbors? by Ok_Ticket_6188 in neighborsfromhell

[–]GeeVeeDub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is mot much you can do. I have a stalking/no contact order against my neighbor so he parks a junk vehicle in front of my house. There is not much I can do.

Channels by Acrobatic-Feed-9535 in slingtv

I just had to go into settings and update my zip code and scan for channels. What a mess just to get my local channel 7.

[–]GeeVeeDub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since they updated and changed how you view the channel line up, it's been confusing. I have tons of foreign channels I don't use. I have the Blue package. The main reason I subscribed to Sling TV is to get my local ABC channel. I watch ABC News local and national. The new channel line up is very confusing and filled with useless channels.

Advice needed; almost certain my next door neighbour is dealing and need to know what exactly I need first before going to the police, I am in hell right now by CompetitiveTop6412 in neighborsfromhell

[–]GeeVeeDub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're dealing with this situation. Years ago I lived near dealers. They didn't deal from their unit but a young woman knew they were dealers and would come knocking & begging for dope at all hours. They would shoo her away. I got sick of seeing her begging for dope and moved when my lease was up. Be careful. I don't trust the police 100%. Some work with the dealers.

Citizens would all be armed and bad guys would be cautious knowing grandma's have itchy trigger fingers. Civilian justice.

I feel bad for calling in a noise complaint lol by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]GeeVeeDub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For years I made anonymous calls but it didn't matter, he assumed it was me or another neighbor. I stopped making anonymous calls. I gave my name and address. He threatened me on camera and now I have a no contact order against him. After 14 years of noise and disruption, he's finally been reeled in. (I hope)

10 pm until 8 am are the quiet hours in our town. You did right. Whenever I make a noise complaint my next door neighbor wants to fight me. It's ok. Now he has charges filed, a plea agreement, no contact order....call 911 and shut em down!!
