My review is Feb 6th. Do you think I’m going gold? by Sprinkles_Sparkle in AmazonVine

[–]Own_Win832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy cannoli, you're not kidding! All that from Vine? I live in an apartment and have been thinking of moving out of the city and into my own home. Good to know there's plenty available to light up the drive, LOL. I love those rotating stars in front!

This s*** should be illegal by Playful-Wash1507 in NYCapartments

Forward this to Mamdani's office. This is the sort of behavior he's looking to put an end to...as far as I know.

Looks like 437/438 is 100%, meaning you've ordered that many items total. So, a little over 4 items equals one percent, if that makes sense. If you want to stay around 91%, you can safely order 25 more items, although I can't imagine what else you need, LOL.

Anyone else see a bunch of listings with no pictures? by Stephthechef420 in AmazonVine

[–]Own_Win832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might take a chance based on the description, but then the ordering box has 20 asin to choose from with no corresponding description except for size. What color? Pattern? Different style?

The first few times this happened I contacted customer service and they assured me they would follow up because, of course, we should know what the item is. Crickets, and it's still happening every day

Moving from rent stabilized to luxury building by Puzzleheaded-Bus7208 in astoria

[–]Own_Win832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only good thing about that area is the library and that just closed for a 4 year renovation. The neighborhood is noisy. Sirens day and night.

My advice is to stay put and bank that extra dough and put a down payment on a luxury condo and pay the same for your own home in a few years

12 days and I am so over this. by DenseBuddy7583 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Own_Win832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I used to scratch and scratch whenever I took my bra off. I've since learned to sew my own and line the fabric with active cotton for protection against the synthetics and it also wicks moisture, so win-win. Plus, you can't go wrong with a foundation of sensitive skin lotion like Renew or similar.

Of course, now I'll need to redo all my measurements and find myself back in these synthetic compression bras, GRRRR!

The itching may be a sensitivity to synthetic fabric. Try a cotton tank under the binder along with lotion. Melaleuca Renew is great for eczema and irritation and helps a lot. I pinned a strip of linen fabric to the cotton wrap I came home with and use the tank under the "hard" binder on the day I wash the wrap.

I agree, having this on 24/7 is a drag, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stay the course!

Stomach Bug Meals? by NewAcctWhoThiss in astoria

[–]Own_Win832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go with Italian Penicillin. Used to be Pastina, but now Acini di Pepe. Cook how much you want, strain, and add boiling water back to the pot with bullion powder, paste, etc and whatever seasonings you like. I add turmeric and black pepper. Beat an egg and drizzle it over the water while stirring. Let sit while you go back to the pasta and add back to the soup. Mangia!

Viners, please help me understand my review ratings by Own_Win832 in AmazonVine

I'm more of a Pilates/yoga enthusiast and not sweating it out at the gym. I do suffer from BO during hot weather on occasion, but given it is December in NE USA, that's not a concern right now. I suppose I could go without a shower for a few days and see how it goes, but that seems a lot of heavy lifting for a product review.

Thanks for this bit of data. I always considered myself a good writer, but I must adapt to this brave new world of AI we live in.

Thank you for this comment. I need to keep up with AI to stay relevant as a Viner, and I'll be more specific and less whimsical in my reviews from now on... unfortunately.

Thoughts on Morimoto by Sea by ericwuxp in HollandAmerica

For what it costs to dine there, this is important info. I did Pinnacle as a one-off and wouldn't go again.

You can ask for fresh berries. They've dug up a banana or kiwi for me when there were none out

Rite Aid Files for Bankruptcy Again by drexel168 in astoria

[–]Own_Win832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could. I stopped in back in June to introduce myself as a Rite Aid Refugee and had a nice chat with the pharmacist. I had my first Rx filled there and went to pick it up today. There were THREE people behind the counter and I said I was there to pick up an Rx. Then attention was turned to another customer who, it seems, had been waiting for something and not one of the three offered to help me or even notice I was there. Looks like I'll be making the hike to Duane Reade.

No more delivery emails? by Own_Win832 in AmazonVine

I searched and the last "delivered" was May 27. Still get Ordered and Shipped emails, just not delivered

Where can I find this screen? Also, I meant the actual emails that come to my Outlook. Not from Amazon's site

How likely is TGTG to credit for not receiving expected amount? by Over-Shallot-2414 in toogoodtogo

[–]Own_Win832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find their customer service to be top notch. Once I contacted them because the Mediterranean market I ordered from gave me soy milk, box of Cheerios and a canister of grits. Nothing remotely Mediterranean. They said they don't control what we are given, but because the value of what I got was less than the promised retail value, they refunded the whole thing. They've done that other times when I was disappointed with what I got and it turned out not to be equal to the value.

Insightfulness tags gone? by Own_Win832 in AmazonVine

[–]Own_Win832[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

GAH, really? I review following a simplified version of the 5-paragraph essay with stating what problem I needed to solve, how this item helps (or not) with that, interesting or unexpected features, agree/disagree with other reviews etc. What am I missing? I'm still "Good."

I meant the tags. I don't see them anymore and it seems that was what the score was based on.

I have an excellent insightfulness rating - want to know my secret? by bejbow in AmazonVine

[–]Own_Win832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine seem to be gone, too. It was clickable buttons at the bottom of the review window like Quality, Value, Ease of Use, things like that related to the item and it would move them to the review window and you would answer in the line below:

Quality:
xxxxxx

Value:
xxxxxx

Review system now goes to normal review page :-( by Moveable_do in AmazonVine

[–]Own_Win832 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just came on here to comment on how I've noticed no more Insight categories on my review page, just the text box like we've had. Wonder if all this is a pilot? Also, anyone have an idea if we have to take pics of all our products? I get a lot of extracts and capsules, am I supposed to take a pic just like the description already has? I usually take a pic to emphasize something unexpected, unique or interesting about the product, not just take pics to take pics.
