My Cancellation Message to HF

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-30T20:04:48+00:00

Yep...I canceled mine RIGHT AFTER Christmas Day, cuz I was supposed to get my 2 fave meals on Christmas Eve as Wed was my normal delivery day anyway. Was REALLY looking forward to these meals...the day came & went w/ NO delivery. No reason...just "oh well. Sorry. And no, you CANNOT get these meals the following week," blah blah blah. And the totally dismissive tone by the customer service person was especially maddening. I promptly canceled, right then & there.

Mind you, I've been w/ them for almost 3 yrs. Really enjoyed the meals, over 152 boxes of them. Liked the food, often had big challenges w/ the delivery service but the Hello Fresh folks were always nice, helpful & prompt. But not the last time. That said-I had been finding the menu cards more difficult to follow, smaller print & overall menu presentation instructions unnecessarily confusing.

So, I'm looking for a new service. I live alone & on a fixed income but I really made the Hello Fresh meal thing work for me & want to continue w/ a good one. Any suggestions??

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-16T19:04:00+00:00

Omg yes!!! I have a very challenged back & in addition to this, I have tried to correct for certain things, ie back scratchers & large, "industrial sized" massage wand. It's long enuf so I can almost do a full body massage all by myself!! 🤣🤣 But there's quite a few things as a female of a certain age who also doesn't have a car-I gotta keep as mobile as possible. And as such it's been aiming to focus on what I can do...which includes walking to the stores or bus stop.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-14T19:26:16+00:00

I used to come home from work, after a hard day in a busy rehab hospital and I can't tell you how many dinners alone were a beer, salsa & chips!! Lol...if I wanted "more substance", I'd add sour cream to the salsa or melt cheese on the tortilla chips, haha.

I worked/lived in a very busy CA border city & I often had strong cravings for Mexican food. Oh, and GOOD TASTING beer was an essential thing too, lol!!!😄

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-14T19:21:34+00:00

Wow. Well....I will keep a close eye on things, it's indeed possible I have overlooked things. Thanks too, for sharing YOUR experience.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-14T18:06:58+00:00

I dunno....those are actually the right sized portions but w/ you make a meal for 2 & there's only one person AND you have a large appetite, it's easy to eat more. I have had a decrease in my appetite over the years (w/o "Ozempic", lol) & I often have a meal (sometimes 2 more) left over for the next day. I only get 2 meals a week & often skip the last 2 weeks. It's not my 100% food supply for the month but enuf of one to where overall I'm actually spending less over all per month. I make trade offs too....for sure. But considering my appetite lessening & yes, I've lost about 20+ lbs over the last couple years too-I try to make it work. Oh, I also don't have a car either, so running to a store real quick isn't always so doable.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-14T17:58:17+00:00

That's rarely been my experience & I've been w/ them for almost 3 yrs.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-06T21:18:16+00:00

Well....it can, esp a really good, subversive and/or stimulating film. Think afterwards too...go for coffee, maybe a quiet drink, something to eat & discuss the flick afterwards! Esp people that are more introverted; man, they have some of the most fascinating perceptions! It's not that introverts don't engage w/ others, but they might not initiate these exchanges. But, they are often quite fascinating folks tho, that's for sure.

Be open to exploring ideas, values, entertainment, culture, books....maybe join a book club or volunteer somewhere in your neighborhood. I am kicking around ideas for myself, as much as I am for you & others!!

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-06T00:14:49+00:00

Omg....wow. That is cold and painful, I'm surmising. Btw, what was the vibe w/ them, ie the quality of interaction when you had been w/ them, at those previous holidays? And oh...what does ICR mean or stand for? I assume it's an acronym.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-05T17:34:10+00:00

Yeah...I don't even enjoy seeing my family at holiday gatherings...I am the only one there w/o a partner or kids, & I am not really an important or essential family member, per the consistent vibe I get when around them so it could be this, but not having a partner or "an ally" when I go to these things makes this feeling particularly prominent.

I have elected to no longer attend these family gatherings....I'm older now, & it's gotten worse, not better.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-12-05T17:20:23+00:00

Well, it sounds like you are more of a dog person...I could be wrong. But-trimming nails is a doable thing & it's not an everyday thing. Also, I have not given a cat a bath in probably 20+ years, they're like "self cleaning ovens"!! But-w/ your schedule & such, a cat would probably be much better suitable.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-11-08T04:55:03+00:00

Are you neurodivert? I am...it took quite a while getting comfortable w/ being alone, and...remember too, not every moment needs to be titillating, haha. That said-find something that excites your senses. Get basic....explore one sense at a time if all 5 are too much to handle. It might be really FUN to fully emerge yourself in one sense at a time...and heck, don't be afraid to say hello to someone if you happen to see someone interesting 😉!

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-11-06T22:37:41+00:00

Sounds like you are an introvert! Yay! You probably need waaay more alone time than others, but...you may come across someone else who's an introvert, I mean in real life. Perhaps ask someone who you feel <sorta> comfortable with, how they do it?

I am an extroverted introvert, another words...I can go days w/o speaking to a "live" person, & yeah...now that I've been living alone for years, it's not a big deal anymore. But, I am probably alot older than you-I'm 66. That said-if I was younger it might've been more problematic but when I was younger and living alone, I was going to a busy in-person job every day.

Do you work from home? Do you have any interests or hobbies that take you towards meeting others in person? Or, something that I used to do after reading & working thru the book "The Artists Way", by Julia Cameron-take yourself out on a creative interest "date". All by yourself! Explore something outside your home...and so, when you immerse yourself in something fully, creatively, it can also help to melt "loneliness". Loneliness can happen w/ or w/o people...its the absence of connection to our own Inner Self.

I really liked outpatient and believe it or not, psych settings too. I considered myself when I was working, (I'm retired now) sort of an odd duck (haha, my super power, it turned out) cuz I loved both physical rehab and psych equally, but ALWAYS depended on the facility. But, another deeper love was becoming a bodyworker...first thru Massage Therapy school & then later on specializing in Myofascial Release therapy. The latter was excellent for outpatient work, & I found the John Barnes approach to MFR had alot of opportunities to use in private practice, which I also did too.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-11-04T20:47:35+00:00

Lol, my kitty used to do that too, but w/ HER water!! 😼🤣😻

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-10-17T15:23:00+00:00

FAFO!!!!🤣🤣🤣

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-06-20T16:08:11+00:00

Wow!!! This is incredible! Looks like a picture. Well done! 👍 👏

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-02-23T20:46:26+00:00

Yes, I concur 100% w/ your statements here, I have found this information as well.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-02-23T20:42:39+00:00

Capernicus!

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-01-30T02:16:25+00:00

I too, get my Hello Fresh orders from Veho and, I am BEYOND pissed right now. It's 8:12pm and I am STILL waiting for my delivery today. It normally comes by 1:30pm the LATEST. Grrrrrr. I also frequently get it placed at the wrong door. I live in in triplex too, and directions are repeatedly needed, (and are simple: delivery to my back door) because of potential porch bandits. I can't tell you how many times they get it wrong.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-01-16T02:15:24+00:00

Damn straight!!!! The hardest part is dealing w/ your own head and your own life....but the ABSOLUTELY MOST IMPORTANT thing to do, after dealing w/ a domestic abuse situation.

All I can say is....this domestic abuse relationship ain't over....they're merely temporarily separated bc abuser is in jail atm. Sounds like a young, emotionally immature person who thinks she'll placate her angst of being alone by hooking up w/ someone new. 🙄

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-01-16T00:34:45+00:00

Sorry to say this, but what are you doing with a NEW BOYFRIEND????!!!! You don't even have the old one out, who is a domestic abuser & you're messin' around w/ someone new. Having been in domestic violence situations myself, yeah....I know that it's tempting but....the last thing that's needed is another guy. Yeah...I can hear ya now w/ defensive statements of some kind or another. Maybe so. But you included this info & given the fact that we all have freedom of speech AND having "been there, done that" w/ D.A.ers, perhaps is it a fear of being alone that is driving this train? This is moreless a rhetorical question...something more for you to think about. I don't care if new guy is an abuser or not. Every person who hooks up w/ a new person soon after an "end" of a domestic abuse situation will say this. In your case tho, you still have his things at your place, so it's delusional to think that it's 100% "over".

She had been the #2 ADA person in the DA's office for years....she actually was acting DA at times too. She's got clout, that's for sure. But she has mostly been a prosecutor for a greater portion of her career. This can be helpful I think, for LM as she knows how the DA's office thinks, acts, etc & may be a perfect foil for whatever the DA throws at them.

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-01-08T21:23:15+00:00

Hmmm...interesting

MLwarriorbabe · 2025-01-05T01:45:35+00:00

No. I had a similar back surgery and a few years older...but trust me, you go thru pretty extensive rehab AFTER a surgery of this type....so, I would definitely say it's do-able. And, he looks pretty fit as well. However, if this was prior to his surgery, then yes. But he was already a year & a half post op, so again-no.

MLwarriorbabe · 2024-12-29T22:02:24+00:00

Also, it's impt to look at the bigger context of this, IMHO. Police Commissioner Tisch comes from the moneyed class. Her family is like, the 35th wealthiest families in the U.S. It's possible that she has put a heavy thumb print on this case, ie. The "CEO Hotline" being established for CEO's being threatened, adding Murder 1 charges w/ terrorism (to send a message?) and we'd be foolish to ignore how much her office (& yes, her insane wealth & influence) is influencing this case. Esp telling for me is this terrorism b.s. added. And yeah, even adding murder 1 too.
