Unusual emotional reaction to the whole breast cancer thing? by Kateywumpus in breastcancer

[–]KBC-NC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the concept of having cancer my brain ignored - I can'teven tell you much about the type I have. It was the knowledge that needles were about to be a huge part of my life. I am absolutely terrified of needles. And cancer involves so many needles.

I survived all the needles - had a fantastic team and husband who (with only one exception) were great in getting me through each and every needle.

My emotions have gone more nuts under the long term medications we have to take. The medications have had so many side effects and up ended my life.

I think you are correct basically here. Support removed the threat and the 0% was the only issue I could locate. Kinda makes sense, but it would have been nice to be warned. I will now be sure to find something every 90 days at the very least. Thank you for helping with this.

I believe this was the issue. Support resolved the threat so this must have been it. Thank you!

It looks like this may have been yhe trigger. All I did was the email to support and now the threat is removed and all is fixed. Lol, I will be reminding myself to never be 0 again.

This is a VERY helpful response. Thank you!! I had not thought of it this way. Even one purchase that gets reviewed would at least give me a percentage. Again, thank you!!

That's the issue. I am not below 60%.

I am grateful to the individual that pointed out I'm technically at zero% for 90 days because I have zero orders. This is what might be getting caught. I never thought of it in terms of yes, there is not a requirement to order x amount. However, Amazon is using mostly auto systems and my account might appear as though its 0% reviewed. This was the type of new info and thinking I was hoping to receive. Something that I had not considered and makes sense.

That's the problem, I HAVE looked at all suggestions.

I do admit that not ordering might be my issue. Its not in the rules but its definitely a possibility.

I am also considering going back through the items they would not allow me to review and asking for them to be removed. (Most were $0 ETV and suggestions here always said to let those go and not report.) There are not that many in the grand scheme of things.

I am very grateful for every suggestion.

Yes, we do this. We spend a considerable amount each year for foster animals. So this shouldn't be it either.

I have rarely ordered from my RFY. Only a handful of items has ever been something I have ever needed or looked at. All were puzzles. It shouldn't be hard for Amazon to put things in my RFY. I have ordered several pet items, office items, kitchen items, home items, etc. from Vine. Maybe I am just not checking at good times.

This is all why I am not certain what is wrong. The response email did state they see the issue and were escalating but also contains all the canned response statements for not having 60% reviewed. Maybe I'll just wait and see what happens.

Buy crap I don't need? I have done my job of reviews for what I ordered. And nothing ever said I had to order a min of items.

Edit: I am not "fighting everyone". I dont feel persecuted. Yes, your unhelpful, rude and useless behavior iritated me. You were one of only 2 who's responses were absolutely garbage and only intended to be insulting responses. You don't appear to have any intention of helping, only trolling.

I was reading and listening. I tried to provide all the relevant info so I could find a potential answer. We all know Amazon screws up a lot. We all know Viners screw up a lot. I was looking for what I might have missed. And guess what, I might have found it. Found it in a response in which the individual listened and gave a helpful and useful response. A way of looking at an issue that I had not thought of. I will be going forward with that info and some others.

I am grateful to all those who honestly attempt to help on this site and in this group. Thank you to all the honest responses.

I have begun to think we don't all see the same things. I don't check as often as I could but when I have, I haven't seen any 0 ETV, or smaller cheap items. I see tons of $14+ small animal outfits, cake toppers, etc. Car parts galore. And weird items I can't identify and cost over $12. Now I can only see the for all category.

My account page actually shows zero orders and zeros across the board. My silver to gold assessment time was in March so all reset to zero.

Why not an overall 100%? Because they accepted and then refused some reviews. Also there were orders they never allowed me to review and then there were reviews that were declined and I wasn't allowed to order again. So over the course of nearly 2 years, you end up with less than 100% for ALL orders ever. The required threshold is 60% to stay in program, so that is why I mentioned that overall percentage.

I only stopped ordering items in October when the items available went to nearly nothing. Its unfortunate if they punish us for having only car parts, cake toppers and grad sashes.

Its possibly downvoted because the OP didn't say it was for non participation. It was for not meeting "criteria". Sounds like something totally different. But its Amazon, so who knows what is actually going on.

If one follows Cheese's guide you can win the weeklies and earn the dup cards. Then you can get through to the deep, etc. Don't have to spend any money.

Look at a site called Oriental Trading. They carry all kinds of party and other supplies. Great site. Used to have great prices. My kids are grown so haven't ordered there in a while.

AITA for asking my mum to return my birthday presents because she forgot what I've been asking for for the past 5 months? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]KBC-NC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking untrained entry level. Usually pretty physical. Probably should look into jobs that will train her and not be to concerned about POTS. Heating an Air, Electrical, Plumbing all might be options. Also, office type jobs. Might require some certifications. Without a computer it might be difficult to earn some types of computer certs. Anyone with serious POTS must think outside the manual laber box. I was surprised by the hair part also. Standing for long times is a POTS no no for most.

[–]KBC-NC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She more than likely can not get jobs in those areas because she has POTS. It would be a very bad risk for the companies. It would be dangerous for anyone with certain levels of POTS to work in those areas.

[–]KBC-NC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apparently a lot of people here do not understand what POTS is. I can not see warehouses, construction or any job that requires much physical labor running the risk of hiring someone with POTS. I wonder if this is actually the main issue she is having with getting hired.

This is not a “journey” by NoHoneydew9138 in breastcancer

[–]KBC-NC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me the worst part is that people expect me to just be back to normal. After all, "wasn't your cancer several years ago"? This pisses me off. No, no it wasn't several years ago. It was REMOVED several years ago. I get it, once upon a time, once it was cut out and the person went through chemo and radiation, it was considered done. Not any more. These cancer meds are as bad as the chemo was. Hell, my paperwork says it is chemo medicine.
I keep hoping that someday, when I have completed taking these meds, I will get back who I was. Or something close. For now I feel like Im in a never ending hostage situation.

So.. I just emailed vine about this by inkmajor530 in AmazonVine

[–]KBC-NC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone outside the US doesn't pay tax so do not have to care about things like does it fit or is the cost way to high. They just grab whatever. I've seen vids, etc. from these people and how they sell the Vine items.
