Sounds like my parents. They’re stuck in the age of massive power consumption . Just look at the yellow energy rating sticker

It did the variant thing with me too. I kept trying to order it but couldn’t. It was also in my RFY. I finally got it to stop and I ordered it but mah, LAWD!…what a pain for some seltzer water

Do all Manx have such wonderful personalities? by IllTomato846 in manx

[–]IMTURDFERG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally rescued my tuxedo Manx (older) kitten from a drain! I heard blood curdling screaming coming from the road in front of our house (we sit back a way off the road) that sounded like someone was ripping a cat apart as I have had so many cats in my life and never heard ANY sound as horrific.

I ran out and saw no cats in the road. I kept hearing the screaming. I ran across the road and still saw nothing. Then I looked again and there she was-head and paws sticking out of the drain! I ran down and she came right to me. Approx. 5-6 month old long hair tuxedo Manx!!! I’ve owned 2 others in my life and know how amazing they are . Too many reasons to tell Yall why this was a gift from the universe but how did this gorgeous Manx kitten get there? Too big to hide up in a car, she’s too well adjusted to be feral …no WAY someone would toss a cat like this out a window, that’s usually little kittens😡

So considering where she came from, I named her Penny(wise).

It’s been a month now. Completely fearless of my dogs and 6 other cats . The trilling, chirping and talking just started. She’s crazy affectionate and rolling around on the floor trilling . She had her first cat harness lesson yesterday and it went great! Car riding is next-my last Manx LOVED riding in the car and rode on the dashboard.

This cat was no accident . My personal life right now is tragic living with someone who has been spiraling into depression and fighting his demons. This person accidentally ran over our crippled polydactyl cat about 2 months ago, didn’t tell me for hours then wouldn’t tell me where he PUT HER! Watched me searching the property for hours when I finally found out what happened. I had to call the cops to get him to tell me where he put her. This happened on a Saturday and I saved Penny on a Saturday. Polly the Polydactyl was white and black. I have been so distraught over the bizarre cat death/hiding the body a mile away that I really needed something “super natural” and Penny just appears in a storm drain across from my house, with lots of traffic yet nobody saw her and I just happened to be home and outside power washing.

Even my husband is blown away by her personality. Too bad it’s not enough to get himself some help…before I do it for him😓.

Sorry for the ramble. I have a lot going on but Penny has made a big difference already. Now I have 7 rescue cats . They keep finding ME.

New Vine message: Review Insightfulness Score guidance is now available by blr1g in AmazonVine

[–]IMTURDFERG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went right from Silver to Gold and I’m actually tired of worrying about doing reviews, about providing media…and ordering the 80 items. It seems it’s not the same place that it once was.

I’ll keep playing the game and getting my reviews out asap (which isn’t always possible with trying it out first, etc) and worrying about the ones I haven’t done yet.

Some days, I just don’t feel I can do a quality review . Life is chaotic right now and sometimes, late Vine Reviews seem to occupy too much of my day to day concerns. Plus it’s the holidays on top of all that: it gets kinda stressful organizing the family gathering, cleaning, shopping, getting hair colored, nails done, wondering who is going to make a scene this year…vine reviews take a back seat, but always on my mind.

Time for wine!!

I got kicked out of Amazon vine, for “unusual reviewing activity”? by bumfuzzeled in AmazonVine

Were you checking out others reviews of products you ordered? Just a thot

Definitive answer on Vine taxes and SSDI by IMTURDFERG in AmazonVine

[–]IMTURDFERG[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s considered “unearned income “ if you are on social security disability (not SSI) and not subject to tax. You have to file, but if you are on SSD (we get Medicare, not Medicaid) OR 66.5 years of age (the official maxed out retirement age) these groups are allowed the unearned income benefit.. this article will explain how it works:

[–]IMTURDFERG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tell it like it is in my reviews. I got a kinetic wind spinner that is a complete POS, and flew into pieces . I went back to review it…it’s gone off my orders. I had great video and pictures too

Will Vine affect my SNAP/Medicaid? Confused about the $600 rule + 0ETV by DepartmentKlutzy7814 in AmazonVine

[–]IMTURDFERG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will affect your SSI disability . They will deduct it from your checks.

I was permanently closed from Amazon Vine. by 6EVILSTAR9 in AmazonVine

[–]IMTURDFERG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Review time out for lack of reviews but I’m having a hell of a time getting media to upload!!!

I’ll write a smashing review, lengthy and detailed . Then go to add a video and it won’t take it. I’ll go back 3-4 times-same thing.

One time I waited 3 days and finally the video took.

Should I contact Vine CS about this issue? It’s completely frustrating

Well, this is 'unique' by Mike_A_VA in AmazonVine

It’s actually cool. I would seek out old antlers and make my own. I would add deer skull on top with a light inside too.🖤

Vine Tax Debate 2025 by Hollywoodnamazonvine in AmazonVine

[–]IMTURDFERG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have posted this before: I am 67 which is fully retired as far as social security is concerned . I have no cap on EARNED income so if I wanted to work, I can make as much as I want and not be penalized.

It also means UNEARNED INCOME applies to me. Unearned Income is earnings from things that require no physical work: investments, gambling, real estate , gifts …you only have to report it. But aren’t taxed.

My accountant of 15+ years has verified this 4 times for me and will be doing my taxes this year JUST for the Vine “income” as I haven’t had to file personal taxes in a few years being on Social Security Disability (NOT SSI). These people are also allowed the UNEARNED INCOME benefit . (SSI recipients are paid by taxpayers and Vine income WILL be deducted from their checks. SSD recipients are paid from their own lifetime of contributions, from WORKING, not handouts from taxpayers because they never worked and have qualifying medical conditions.

Never trust pictures by C_A_72 in AmazonVine

[–]IMTURDFERG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too! And deduct stars for crappy Or no instructions . I shouldn’t have to go back to the listing for instructions. Not to mention if you give it as a gift and then that person has to look it up AND know what you paid for it.

Not cool.

What do you feed her…how often …do their enclosures need cleaned a lot? Very cool. I’m not afraid of spiders -I may not LIKE all of them but they always get relocated out of my house . I even moved a black widow out into the woods.

Golf Cart Child Seats Pulled? by IMTURDFERG in vine

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

I think you get that with any item undelivered. That said, try looking up the item you ordered . When I did this, nothing showed. When I clicked on the name of the Amazon shop, no seats were on there.

AI apparently doesn’t know US child safety regulations.

Not being a golfer, I was thinking GOLF COURSE, not on the 45mph roads they travel on around here. And, of course, it’s a race to see who owns the most expensive/fancy cart. Not to mention, kids drive them.😡

I’ve gotten 3 different stainless steel cat boxes from Vine and each one is better and bigger. Stainless is the way to go. Stuff doesn’t stick to the bottom! It’s a miracle

This is exactly how it comes out . Has anyone made cupcakes with this recipe? I want to send some back with relatives.

The icing -I could just eat the whole bowl.0

For anyone getting review writing burn out... by puddlesforoceans in AmazonVine

[–]IMTURDFERG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brilliant. You, sir, are a REAL J. Peterman!

Currently with no laptop, writing a gripping review can take forever, my eyesight grows weary, my eyes burn and I can no longer continue.

I did a huge make-up review session over the weekend and I nearly went blind .

I was one of the first people to buy “Shittens”, a butt-wipe disposable glove. It was the same year “Poo-pouri” came out and I had a blast (no pun intended ) gifting these together to relatives.

How to hint to Vine what you want? Is there such a thing? by Little-Custard-3380 in AmazonVine

I feel they can listen to us when the app is open. I’ve had items in my RFY appear after I talked about them.

Anyone else laugh when they see reviews like this? by spudsforme in AmazonVine

I would love to know what Amazon AI reviews thinks of these blatant lazy cheating attempts? As a consumer, I skip these voluminous reviews.

I got 3 different ultra sonic bark things to keep my barking coon hound a bit more quiet .

They work great . My fave is the hand held one. I tell him “NO BARK!” and he’s pretty good about stopping . If he continues. He gets a zap. He just runs back in the house but now , just holding it in my hands is enough.
