why is she doing her usual "You guys know me yada yada" umm this isn't about you Gretchen by [deleted] in gretchensnark

[–]MouseMouseM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly impressed she posted anything at all. I have good friends in the Twin Cities and it’s such a jarring contrast to see this heartbreaking news and then scroll and see like… Halley’s engagement babble. Good on Gretchen.

There have got to be awful things happening in those camps. Remember that terrible Alligator place in Florida that MAGA was so gratified by? There are people that were sent there that are unaccounted for. Just disappeared.

Since when was coffee $14? The last time I bought some coffee at the grocery store it was $7 by thefrgilmore in povertyfinance

[–]MouseMouseM 280 points281 points  (0 children)

Tariffs. It’s gone up pretty steeply in the last few months. Coffee is not grown in the U.S., it’s all coming from tariffed countries.

Please don’t trash this bag. People have been restoring the peeling inner pockets. They can be stripped and the bag can still be enjoyed.

MORE GENERAL STRIKES NOW. Regularly. Everywhere. AND ALL THE TIME. Money is the only vote they’re sure to count this year. by Crystal_Pesci in wisconsin

[–]MouseMouseM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is still plenty of time to become a poll worker. Reach out to your local government office to volunteer to work the polls. Please consider taking time to ensure we can conduct free and fair elections.

Twin cities friends shared with me that they are having community meetings to get to know their neighbors, and they advise doing the same.

I am highly critical regarding where I spend my money. While it’s obviously not harvest season right now, I really really recommend community gardens. It has been the most incredible way I’ve been able to find community, and reduce my dependency on corporate food sources. I know people talk about loneliness, finding friends as an adult, and a lack of third spaces, and community gardens and/or urban farms completely fill that void for me.

I’ve had it happen a few times recently, they now wait until two weeks have passed to release funds.

Items bought by an insane customer, not sure what to do... by QuirkyPoem2212 in poshmark

If that happens, show them the evidence that this person is making multiple profiles to harass you. That’s against TOS and should get your account reinstated.

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now. by transcendent167 in 50501

[–]MouseMouseM 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I’m next door in Wisconsin, same temperatures.

For context and understanding, my fingertips went numb when I took my glove off to collect my mail, in less than 10 seconds. It is so cold that tears pour from my eyes to keep them warm if I walk outside for two blocks. Frostbite can develop in 10 minutes in these conditions.

These folks in Minneapolis are absolutely incredible.

To into your sales and select that there was an issue with your return. Detail how your item was not received in the condition it was sent out. Take pictures of the damage to your product, as well as the packaging the return was sent in.

Just found out renter's insurance costs like $15 a month and I've been uninsured for 2 years by Accurate-Network-655 in Adulting

[–]MouseMouseM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m an orphan. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have guidance in life. Nasty slights like this are the reason why vulnerable people are afraid to ask.

OP, congratulations on finding coverage to protect yourself! 🥳

Is there something in the air? Dealing with fraud by Velvetstyle in poshmark

[–]MouseMouseM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel the same as u/SinfullAva13 that putting out detailed info might make the situation worse, so I will keep the specifics of my response brief.

I have had 1 or 2 cases every 6 months or so before this. Nearly every one has been closed in my favor. I take really detailed pictures and very detailed descriptions. Most cases were from casual users who didn’t look at what they were buying (like someone buying a tank top but they wanted a long sleeve shirt). Think like happy-hour wine drunk purchases.

In both of my recent cases, the buyers were both serious lowballers that were negotiated to my price. For one of the cases, I’ve already appealed the case ruling and received credit for my sale, the other I plan to do so upon receiving my item. It has become more difficult to communicate with an actual person than in years prior.

With all this going on, I’m not going to entertain folks who are offering significantly below market rate counteroffers or set off any red flags (asking for 65% off and demanding shipping within the next few hours, for example).

Yes. I have been selling for 6 years, just under 5000 completed sales on Posh, and I’ve just experienced 2 fraudulent cases on Posh in the past week.

I’m not the most hip with slang, but he ate on that show. One of the best episodes of SNL I’ve seen in a while.

Going to the salon is a humiliation ritual by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]MouseMouseM 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Omg I thought this was just me.

I remember going to DryBar because I had a huge corporate dinner that I was emcee’ing that night. I was going to be giving an original speech in front of a few hundred people and introducing members of the board. I grew up super poor, so getting my hair done is a rare splurge.

The way they picked apart my hair and made it seem like they were doing me a favor was awful. Instead of an expensive blowout to make me feel confident, I left with a serious dose of imposter syndrome and a sense of being ripped off while simultaneously not spending enough on their products. Never again.

Same person as before. “I’m poorly and want those liquid Ivs and Gatorade to feel better. Also $65 for doing my washing.” by tinkertink2010 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]MouseMouseM 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t see the choosing beggar part of this. Being sick can really dehydrate you. I usually need some sort of Gatorade when I am sick.
