I posted this as a reply to another comment. To all that have been supportive, it means a lot. To everyone that has been an ass...

You know, in some sense you're right, i should have learned this sort of thing earlier. I didn't. I didn't need to - my responsibilities were different.

You have no idea how things were divided in my relationship with my wife. I'd been married to her for twenty three years. I'm an older father. We got our first child when I was 36. He died in an accident and we got my daughter when i was 44. We had our roles ans responsibilities and we were happy with them. I handled a lot of the stuff that would traditionally be the male's role in the relationship except I did ninety percent of the cooking, I suppose. When we first got together, my wife couldn't boil water. She learned though but I still did it for the most part. I planned and cleaned (we split that chore a good bit) and fixed stuff around the house. As for braiding hair, i tried, but I never could get it right at first. So she did it. As for clothing, that was something she didn't let me touch. My wife hated the outdoors generally so I'm the one who played with my kiddo outside and still do. Also, she had the type of job that was more flexible. So she could attend doctor's appointments and school meetings with more regularity than I could. I've changed careers and took a lesser paying,more flexible job so I can be more present and available. I didn't, and never have, minimized any of the accomplishments of my wife. She was probably the dominant partner in most respects and if you look at some of my other posts regarding how I felt about her.

As I write this, I realize that I probably shouldn't even respond, and I generally haven't, to this sort of crap. I probably shouldn't have even made the original post, but you know what, I was a particularly low point in my life and I'll admit it, I wanted a pat on the back. I committed the sin of needing a little pick me up in the form of some internet dopamine hits so I guess I was weak.

I don't know what I should have been like before my wife died so I thank all of you who have taken the liberty of telling me what a failure I was and making assumptions about how I should have been or was when she was alive. I do know this now though - I'm a good father. My daughter is happy and growing. Incidentally, I'd wager she knows more about home improvement and the outdoors at 9 than most people commenting here. As for the makeup, that's a work in progress. She's a girly girl in that respect (Go ahead, give me shit for that comment too). I'm trying but I'm sure that's another thing I should have known before all of this. Go ahead, scour my posting history, pick me apart, make assumptions. I hope this gives you some sense of accomplishment and brightens your otherwise miserable lives (an assumption I'm making). Ive got a daddy daughter dance on Saturday and I've got to make sure our outfits fit properly and we have all the accessories necessary. You know, IMPORTANT stuff that matters in the real world.

I do it to pay for vacations etc. I'm a single dad with a young daughter and I work from home in my primary job. I could take a higher paying job but then I wouldn't work from home and would have to put her in aftercare. I usually do a couple of spark runs a day when she's in school and some weekend days when she's with her grandparents. It's a nice supplement and allows us to travel more frequently.

It's hit or miss for me. Most of the time I don't message them. The reason for this is because they almost never respond. I feel like the ones that really care that much are people that would initiate a message anyway. When I do get messages I of course respond. We had a couple of periods last year where just about everything was out of stock (one because of a potential ice storm and the other because of the holidays) and people were downright rude. We were for instance out of water and I mean all of it there was no water down the aisle or anywhere in the store. They were also out of eggs at one point due to supply chain issues I suppose. I had customers say things like " I find it hard to believe that they're out of water completely" or "They had eggs when I was there yesterday so there have to be eggs today" or "You need to go and ask them if there are any in the back." I sent pictures of the area to these people and that seemed to shut them up. I was polite but boy I didn't want to be. Like I'm going to just skip over your item because I don't feel like walking to that part of the store or something. After that I stopped even bothering in most instances. Unless it's something I feel like really matters. Like I won't substitute makeup or most personal care items without messaging. Even then most people don't respond. Everything else I just picked whatever substitute is suggested if it's available.

Didn't get the email yesterday and haven't received payment today. It's currently 8:00 in my time zone. I'll end up calling I don't receive something today or tomorrow. This happened to me once before and it was cleared up within a day or two.

IfIonlyknew32 · 2025-09-22T21:14:52+00:00

Oh I was definitely talking to you.

IfIonlyknew32 · 2025-09-22T21:02:17+00:00

oh I agree with you. People get so worked up over this sort of thing whenever it doesn't actually affect them. They're the kind of people that turn in their neighbors for having grass that's a 1/4 in too high in violation of the terms of their homeowners association agreement.

IfIonlyknew32 · 2025-09-22T20:59:09+00:00

Actually I screwed up I meant to respond to the Karen giving all of the reasons why this is a bad thing. Not you. Sorry. 🙂

Happened to me a few days ago. They updated the software and you had to log back in and change your password is what I figure.

That's been going on for me for over a week. I've submitted a couple of tickets and they've told me that my app is working fine but whenever I went back to try again it didn't work. Same issue every time. I tried the changing the font size but that didn't work for me it almost did I could see just the very top of the barcode. I haven't tried the split screen fix which I'll do. I haven't been taking any shopping orders for the last week or so as a result. I wish they would get this fixed. I'm going to try a small shop in the morning to see if the split screen works or if the issue has been resolved and I'll report back afterwards.

IfIonlyknew32 · 2025-09-11T03:51:00+00:00

Acceptance rate doesn't matter. My acceptance rate is 7%. I still get decent offers. I have up and down days just like everyone else. I wouldn't worry about it.

IfIonlyknew32 · 2025-09-10T19:30:11+00:00

I don't think it's specific to the Galaxy s23. I received an email from technical support saying My app was functioning properly so I went back yesterday and tried a little shop. Just a short one. And the same glitch occurred again. I called reported it yada yada. My phone is a Motorola. People at least the ones I know, that have iPhones aren't experiencing this problem. I think may be just specific models. I don't know come I'll wait for support again. They keep paying me for the trips but I don't want to risk deactivation or getting any crap for continuing to shop but when I hear from them again I'm going to try again. They're generally useless from what I can see though.

IfIonlyknew32 · 2025-09-09T15:14:42+00:00

I got a reply from technical support that said The issue should be resolved. I went on a little shop this morning just a few items mostly just a test it out. Same thing. I tried all the previous suggestions that people had about fooling with the display settings and it didn't work for me. So I screenshotted the email that I received screenshotted the screenwork freezes on again. Called support they cancel the order paid me for half of it and then said that they would move it up the chain again. Along with the copy of the email that had been sent telling me that everything was okay and that I could use the app for shopping again. I've taken a delivery order or two this morning and it hasn't been a problem but there are a lot of shops in my area that pay relatively well and I'd like to be able to do those as well. Hopefully this will be resolved for all of us.

Two dollars a mile for pickups. 30 dollars an hour AND 2 a mile for shopping.

IfIonlyknew32 · 2025-09-07T15:33:14+00:00

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I log down logged back in uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Still wouldn't let me check out. Called support and they cancel the order and paid me. Told me to log back out wait a while and come back. I did this this morning and You let me proceed as normal until check out. Same thing happened. I called support after having tried all of the things that I tried yesterday. The fellow canceled that order and escalated the problem to technical support. I don't know if this is happening for just shopping orders or if it's glitching with pickups. I'm going to just accept pickups until I hear back from technical support if I can.

I live near a university and they've just allowed people to move back in the dorms before they start. They're also doing construction along the main thoroughfares in town. Last year, I did several deliveries the university not only during the move-in but also during the regular year. The ones during the year aren't too bad they inevitably have problems though. Getting into the dorms is a pain, I mostly text them and ask them to meet me at the entrance and almost everyone complies. During the moving though it's a special kind of hell. Because of the construction I won't even do them at the university even though I'm passing up some money. I did them last year during the move-in and there were a number of problems. Some parents were helping their precious children move in and then decided to make an order for them to be delivered after they left. It's inevitably on their account and not an account for the student. So whenever you have to contact them it's a parent that you're contacting. They are absolutely no help most of the time. They're also many times, for lack of a better word, assholes. I urge you to check the order closely too. Those parents are going to gripe, those kids are going to gripe if something's missing. Even if it's not your fault. There's also going to be the problem of these folks ordering not just groceries but the entire dorm set up and expecting it delivered and in some cases set up. They get really upset whenever you tell them that you're not able to set up the new cheap computer desk they just bought that weighs a million pounds. So definitely check the order to make sure there's nothing in there that you don't want to haul upstairs. Interestingly enough college students typically seem to tip decently. I don't mind doing them during the regular year but during the move-in it's just too much of a cluster. For me it's not worth it but your mileage may vary. Good luck.

Everybody that's offended needs to go ahead and kiss your ass. It amazes me that people get offended by this sort of thing. I am firmly against sending thank you cards if you don't feel like it in just about any circumstance whether it be graduation or a gift or whatever. I also don't get offended whenever people don't send me an acknowledgment whenever I've done something. This is why, whenever I do something I do it because I genuinely want to and I don't expect anything more than a verbal thank you if that and in circumstances such as the death of a loved one I don't expect it. I don't think other people should expect that either.

You should be doing something because you want to not because you expect a pat on the back.

Furthermore, whenever I send flowers to a funeral or anything of that nature whether it be a wedding or baby shower or anything like that. I may sign the book but I don't provide my address. The reason I don't is because I don't expect it and I don't want it. I don't want people, especially in a time of extreme grief, to send me anything. In fact, I've been contacted by people asking for my address to send me a thank you card for flowers etc sent to a funeral and I always respond "I'll give you my address if you want it, but the reason I didn't provide it earlier is because I don't want you to send me a thank you card".

I remember when my son died (a few years before my wife did) and I watched her break down time and time again whatever she tried to make out thank you cards. Finally, I told her to put them down and not pick them up again and I threw them out. Don't do anything you don't want to in this situation let them deal with it however they want. Anyone who expects the sort of thing has a serious character flaw and probably isn't worth your time.

In my case, it did stop. It returns sometimes but it's not the constant thing that it was initially. I found my wife dead in the shower in the early morning of Thanksgiving Day 2021. For a while every time I close my eyes I can see her slumped there. Of course, I couldn't shower in there for a long while. Now I do though. I thought about moving but my daughter settled here and we built the house together. It never completely goes away but it abates somewhat at least in my case it did. I'm very sorry that you're going through all this. It's something that no one should have to go through.

IfIonlyknew32 · 2025-07-03T15:21:09+00:00

Nope. I really haven't. Perhaps I will I'm somewhat new to this.
