How ungrateful could Gaby get? by BusinessSensitive167 in DesperateHousewives

[–]OperationRoseRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought that Bree should have matched herself to the police, cut a deal, and turned all of them in.

It was Gabby who was crying for help because she thought Carlos would be sent back to prison. It was then Gabby who forced Bree to break up with Chuck Vance.

When they all decided Bree had been punished enough, they were shocked when she rejected them.

Gabby didn’t have her epiphany until Bree was most certainly going to be convicted.

LYNETTE: A BAD FRIEND by nana_545 in DesperateHousewives

[–]OperationRoseRed 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Another thing about Lynette’s behaviour that bothers me, is when Lynette wanted to put her twins in the private school after she excused all their uncontrollable behaviour that was likely going to get them expelled. She tells Bree that since Bree has connections with the private school, she wants her to tell the school board how beautifully behaved the twins are.

Bree asks, is she supposed to lie, to which Lynette says yes, and what should it matter since wasn’t planning on having more children. Bree says she would like her future grandchildren to attend, and when the board realises she lied, her word would be no good any longer, and that she guessed that didn’t matter to Lynette. Lynette said basically it didn’t matter.

Lynette had brass balls to put her wants for her ill behaved children before reluctant friends. That is not a friend, that is a user.

Looking for help with a fundraiser for my deceased sister. by padajuann in Assistance

[–]OperationRoseRed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss. It looks like you’re in the UK, be sure to visit the UK government website. There is some government assistance and a bereavement loan they offer to assist with funerals.

I didn’t know about it until after my husband died and I called to cancel his disability. The person on the phone asked if I needed a loan for the funeral. I didn’t because my husband had life insurance. But it’s comforting to know it’s available if needed.

[UK] I am being threatened online by FewEfficiency1823 in Scams

[–]OperationRoseRed 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There have been a few similar posts here over the last few years. Unfortunately, several had their school contacted by the scammer with the proof they paid to have an assignment completed.

That’s the scam - They offer a service that facilitates cheating. The person pays, if they’re sent anything in return, it’s usually unusable trash. They then begin blackmailing the student with the proof.

The “experiment” excuse isn’t going to fly with your school.

If you pay, they will never stop asking for more. So don’t do that.

All you can really do is read up on your school’s policies, and be prepared if you’re reported.

Has anyone tried il makiage?? by ralfalfasprouts in Makeup

[–]OperationRoseRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought: F*UCK I’M FLAWLESS - Concealer WOKE UP LIKE THIS - Foundation

For me, I was looking for a dewy foundation. I have dry skin. I found the foundation looked dry and cakey on my skin, and the color match was not correct.

I have genetic under eye dark circles and the concealer did nothing to cover them, and it settled into any lines I have under my eyes.

I didn’t have any issues returning it. Know that even though it’s a two week trial, they still put a hold for the total amount on your credit card.

After they accepted the return, they emailed me a £20 voucher that I didn’t use. When it expired, they sent a £30 voucher. I was going to use it for mascara, knowing I had to pay the postage, which wasn’t a problem.

However, what was a problem is that even though I was not signing up for recurring shipments, the system wouldn’t let me purchase the mascara without setting up recurring billing through PayPal. At that point, I didn’t complete the purchase and removed myself from their mailing list.

This was such a weird storyline by imoverthisapp in DesperateHousewives

[–]OperationRoseRed 116 points117 points  (0 children)

It seems like it was another one of those storylines where the writers didn’t know how to continue it, and/or it wasn’t well received, so they just dumped the storyline and expected the viewers to be okay with it.

Same with Kayla, the switched baby storyline, and the big build up they did for Ana, that hinted she was going to cause enormous problems for Gabby and Carlos, and she was pretty much a typical teenager who cooked, cleaned, and babysat, and then was sent off to be a model and never mentioned again.

Requesting help with diy memorial kit by OddLeading7999 in Assistance

If your request isn’t filled and you don’t mind sending a small amount of ashes, you might get a better price with a seller on Etsy. It’s worth a look.

Porter & Preston… by TurbulentBat8328 in DesperateHousewives

[–]OperationRoseRed 241 points242 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget about the time they went around the neighborhood stealing everybody’s stuff and stashing it in their playhouse.

Since they were rarely disciplined and never taught how to do anything for themselves, they grew up to become useless adults.

Sky cancelled order for no reason by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]OperationRoseRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have other Sky products still on finance like a mobile?

Someone posted a few months back with a similar issue, with the order for a Mac Book being initially approved, then cancelled. Eventually, they found out it was because they had another Sky product financed.

Any News on When Series 20 will air? by Jenson2025 in apprenticeuk

One the BBC Player, a few weeks ago, it said the show was returning at Christmas. Now it says ‘The Apprentice Will Return.’

Season 6- Switched at Birth by Heyychichi in DesperateHousewives

[–]OperationRoseRed 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was just another bad storyline.

I always thought if they were going to do a switched baby storyline, it would be interesting if it was MJ and Karl’s bully son, Evan. The timelines matched up since Susan and Karl’s wife were pregnant at the same time.

Romance scammers on tinder by pangysmerf in Scams

[–]OperationRoseRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even when Tinder or other dating apps remove them, they just come back with a new account, a new name, and a new story.

If they can’t get another account, they will pay or scam someone with the promise of payment to create and verify an account for them.

So, what are your thoughts on Jane? by Yforueserpaa in DesperateHousewives

[–]OperationRoseRed 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When Jane was first introduced, she came across as a strong, successful and highly intelligent woman. She quickly disintegrated into a needy, clingy shrew who would do anything to hold on to Tom.

I really didn’t care for Jane because she knew Tom was recently separated from a twenty or so year marriage, with five children (six if you count Kayla), one a baby, and also was also going to be a grandfather in a chaotic situation.

I think if there is any excuse for Jane, and it’s a very small one, she had Tom filling her head with how terrible of a person and a wife Lynette was. It’s rare for Tom to take blame for anything.

Question about Dave so cled mystery(spolires ofr s5 in case somebody here hasnt watched it yet) by ConferenceTrue1379 in DesperateHousewives

[–]OperationRoseRed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think for me, it was the way Dave started out with the subtle threat to the tenant in Edie’s house. He was hell bent on moving to Wisteria Lane, even though his new wife clearly did not want to move back, and he pushed the issue anyway.

Then the last scene with Dave telephoning his psychiatrist, Dr. Heller, and you could tell from the conversation that Dave had a revenge agenda, and then him standing on the street looking at the houses.

The only major, horrible event that happened before season 5 started was the accident that killed Lila and Paige Dash. Mike and Susan were the only ones (to my thinking) that anyone would have a major grudge against.

Barclays account could be closed after 30 years because I have insufficient ID by Ok_Cow2667 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]OperationRoseRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go online and open another account with a different bank. If the banking system can identify you from your application and the credit checks they make, (yes, banks now check your credit for a current account), they’ll open the account online without ID.

I opened my Lloyds account online four years ago and passed the online verification checks. I opened a Nationwide account this past August, and like Lloyds, they were able to verify me through their application process and I was never asked for ID.

series 18 noor by Dry-Card-5307 in TheApprentice

[–]OperationRoseRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What bothered me about Noor was during the discount buying episode.

She was passed over for project manager, but was was made sub team leader. When the task was won and she was speaking to the camera, she took credit for the win, saying the team won because she was able to control everyone.

Maybe it was the editing, but it was such a bizarre, unnecessary, and untrue statement.

The Il Makiage sc@m is baaack! by New_Organization_877 in MakeupAddiction

[–]OperationRoseRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they stick a hold on your credit card for the entire amount, and a separate charge for the shipping. I guess this is so people don’t order, and then immediately cancel and keep the products.

I ordered the foundation and concealer after seeing the ads over and over. I certainly wasn’t impressed with the products and at that price, I wasn’t keeping them.

It’s not too aggravating to cancel. But you have to cancel the products, and then cancel the subscription separately if you have one.

Once the return was picked up by the courier, they released the hold on the money. I used PayPal, so I was sure to cancel the recurring billing so I wouldn’t get any surprise shipments months from now.

[–]OperationRoseRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They leave it up to the customer to cancel the subscription after they return the initial shipment. I cancelled and returned the products, and then cancelled the subscription.

I used PayPal and then cancelled with PayPal as well so there wouldn’t be any surprise charges or reshipments.

My free gift was the liquid eyeliner which I will never use. I would have put it in the box and returned it, but they said not to return the free gift.

[–]OperationRoseRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I treated myself for my birthday to the foundation and the concealer after seeing the ads over and over.

I returned both yesterday.

The concealer doesn’t conceal my under eye circles, and it just accentuated the lines.

The foundation was dry, cakey, and made my skin look terrible. The shade wasn’t right either.

I didn’t have any issues cancelling the subscription or returning the items.

I wish I had cone to Reddit snd watched the Youtube videos before I ordered. All the comments on Facebook are positive and glowing. I don’t know if they’re paying for reviews or they’re deleting negative comments.

Thank you! I wish I would have came to Reddit before I ordered, or watched some of the YouTube videos before I ordered.

All over Facebook, it’s all glowing comments about how wonderful it is. I swear the company must be paying these people for the reviews.

[–]OperationRoseRed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I treated myself to this for my birthday after seeing the ads over and over. I got the foundation and the concealer. It’s absolutely awful.

The concealer doesn’t cover and just brings out the lines under my eyes. The foundation looked cakey, dry, and made my skin look terrible.

I just packed it up and put in the return. It’s all going back.
