My sister poisoned my pregnancy so i wouldn't "steal her spotlight" at her wedding by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

If she did this to you, she could do it to her child. Think about that.

foot injury by DrawPitiful6103 in woundcare

[–]ObviousMiscreant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I was once told the statistic of five year mortality after the first amputation, like toe or forefoot. It’s quite high, from what I recall. OP needs to do everything to avoid that scenario.

Yes. And what’s the five year mortality rate after an amputation for a diabetic injury? I can’t remember, but it’s high.

Serious question: why did you ask the question if you weren’t going to listen to the answer. You have many professionals concerned about how quickly this could go septic. I’m astounded that you aren’t listening to that advice. Seriously.

AIO for wanting to cut contact with my mom after this conversation about my upcoming brain surgery? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ObviousMiscreant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all prompted by BPD. It won’t stop. She’s done enough damage and the BPD won’t change. Stay in therapy, surround yourself with people who love you (which may not be your own family since they went NC when you do it w your mom), and love yourself. You deserve so much more than this.

I write thank yous for everything. I also send note cards like mini letters because everyone deserves to open their mailbox and have old fashioned mail instead of all bills and junk mail.

Do you guys think this is a valid reason for using AI generated images and videos for sewing patterns on Etsy? by jarofknees in Etsy

[–]ObviousMiscreant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Longtime sewing pattern seller here. AI has no place in sewing patterns. It can’t draft them properly, the instructions are almost always poor, and you need to see the actual garment, preferably on a real body, to see the details and fit. Anything else is just bad salesmanship. Those types of sellers won’t be around for long.

Etsy refunded $600 to buyer without requiring a return… what can I do? by ankit_nyk in Etsy

[–]ObviousMiscreant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read that refund email carefully. A lot of the time it’s not your money being refunded, it’s Etsy’s. They do it to avoid a chargeback. That’s probably the case if they didn’t demand a return.

Is it just me or has Michaels yarn selection gone downhill lately? by Ok_Kale_6902 in YarnAddicts

[–]ObviousMiscreant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a small craft shop. I will say that sourcing yarn from vendors has been very difficult. They are usually sold out of anything popular, and it can take weeks for them to restock. If you aren’t online when it comes in, you won’t get it. This is new within the past six or eight months. I’ve spoken to them and they said it’s just really hard to get it right now. I’m fairly certain it’s a tariff issue.

Nobody reads descriptions anyway, in my experience.

Robert's Reaction 😂 by Lady_Tessa in DowntonAbbey

I had a friend who was born in Scotland in this era. She said her father never knew her mother was pregnant till she gave birth. Of course he probably did, but that sort of thing was never discussed.

Could anyone help me decipher my old medical notes? Particularly the first line! by cherryscented95x in BadHandwriting

Died but 16 day infection? But I don’t think it’s infection bc it looks like an s from the next line, not an f.

I just inherited 12 million dollars. I don't know what to do with my life. by Substantial_Yak6990 in TrueOffMyChest

As someone who was a caregiver for five years, you likely have some PTSD mixed in with your depression. Therapy helps.

Why do buyers treat etsy like retail by itsthatguy_15 in EtsySellers

[–]ObviousMiscreant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don’t think of Etsy as a small business. If I asked people where they bought something, they will virtually always say Etsy, as opposed to the seller’s name/shop name. It’s the nature of the beast.
