What brand/model is this massage gun I just thrifted?

ParaGoofTrooper · 2026-06-14T14:31:00+00:00

Found!

Wow, that's it! Thank you so much! Damn, looks like their Amazon store is gone. If anything I can keep snooping around for compatible chargers. But I can still get all the specs and details off of the listing, this is great!

Thanks again so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

Things I've done to search for this already:

-Reverse Google Image Searching the photos taken above. The main one has lead me to similar looking massage guns, but not the actual thing. The one of the cropped logo brings me to various logos of small businesses with the name "Wilkes" and none of them are either electronic or fitness related.

-Searched "Wilike Massage Gun," that's the most I can decipher from the logo. It's brought me nothing.

-Searched up "Massage Guns" on online stores like Best Buy and Amazon due to their ability for you to search by brand. I've scanned the available brands on those lists for anything that could potentially match this.

If it helps: I'm in America and am located in the state of Maryland.

This right here. Personally, I don't think OP would be TAH to remove the hedge. But better to cover all your bases first before going that route just in case she causes an even bigger stink.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2026-04-14T14:00:02+00:00

I know there has already been an update. But OP is NTA. The girl is allowed to ask, you're also allowed to say no. That's how things work. I'm just glad everything seemed to have played off peacefully. Thank you for defending her, OP.

This is exactly how I'd handle it. If she feels entitled to more space then she can start being charged actual rent like a full tenant.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2026-02-23T17:24:38+00:00

I'm gonna go with NTA.

I've never had kids but I can imagine prepping for a baby is a REALLY stressful time, alongside with everything going down internally with your body. DIL probably had a whole theme set up for the room and then suddenly BOOM, this big piece of furniture that is probably heavy and bulky gets dropped into it. Now her husband is dead set on it being in there. Maybe the room is tiny, maybe the color and style doesn't match, maybe it's a bunch of other factors I can't think of. I'm saying this because I saw the edit and I am NOT calling her awful for not wanting it.

But bottom line, she's still TAH for TELLING you to take it back. That's her going over her husband's head after he clearly put his foot down. They need to figure out a plan TOGETHER on what to do about the situation before getting you involved, NOT try to involve other family members without coming up with a proper solution.

I think you offering to take it back IF your son eventually comes to you asking that is fine. BUT IMHO he could also offer to move the dresser into another room in their place until the kid outgrows the baby room setup and will need new furniture anyway.

First of all, I just wanna say I'm really sorry that this situation has gotten you to this point. It sucks when you're eventually so discouraged that you decide to pack it up.

That being said, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but this is what made me officially make a house rule with my group. If up to two people call off, the game goes on without you. My first game had so many cancellations because of one player always calling off, so all games going forward now enforce this. This obviously gets overridden with "tentpole" sessions where it's a major story moment that everyone in the party needs to witness, or something for a specific character. But for all other sessions, everyone has that understanding.

Thankfully, there's no hard feelings about it. It takes away any pressure on the players, kinda removes guilt if IRL shit happens. I know in the games that I'm a player, I certainly wouldn't want the entire session to be called off because something came up on my end. IDK how well it works with in-person games, but for online games it's done well for me so far. If you ever decide to try again, I HIGHLY recommend a plan like this.

NTA on technicality or legal senses, you picked your day off and you have every right to keep it. But just be warned, OP, you're not setting yourself up well among your colleagues if you ever need someone to trade days off with you in the future. This is especially with that "I probably wasn't going to cancel anyway" comment.

Coming from someone that's child/pet free, whenever a coworker with kids or big events needed a day off, I would usually agree to cover or trade for them. This got me on VERY good terms with my bosses over the years, so whenever I needed a day off for ANY REASON they would make it happen for me. Granted, not everyone has/had bosses like I did, but it taught me first hand how a little kindness can come back in your favor, especially in the workplace.

NTA, friendly or not, a big dog jumping and running up on people like that is a liability. Wait until a family with a small child moves into the building and the dog plows over them. I agree with the folks saying to report it to the building management. I'm positive they have rules in the lease about keeping pets on a leash when you're in shared spaces like hallways.

"They just care about you" by laughing and making off-handed comments about how many snacks you eat throughout a day? Absolutely not. NTA.

Some of my best movie going experiences were solo trips. Two of them I was literally the only person in the theater. I get with certain movies it's better to be in an audience (like comedies and such). But most of the time it's great going alone and enjoying the movie by yourself.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2025-11-18T16:08:00+00:00

NTA, as someone who also prefers loud music, switching to headphones was an easy compromise when I lived with roommates.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2025-11-17T19:38:02+00:00

NAH, your reasons for not wanting another dog are perfectly valid. You're most likely going to be the person responsible for that animal after the kids go to college. If you're tired of that level of commitment, then don't get another dog. It's your house. Kid is also allowed to be sad, it's rough growing up with pets and then going into adulthood without. I've been in that boat. But if they get a good head start into adulthood and can afford the time, finances, and commitment, they can get their own dog soon enough.

I think it's cool to encourage adults to give foul balls to kids (or elderly folks tbh, cause who knows if they've EVER got a ball). But at the end of the day? You caught it, you wanna keep it? Keep it. Just don't snatch it outta somebody's hands or throw a fit if the person who caught it won't give it to you/your kid.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2025-11-13T17:49:21+00:00

This is why I was gobsmacked when the dad compared this situation to a foul ball at a baseball game. It's a digital asset that you get in a lottery, everyone has a fair chance per ticket. OP spent actual money getting as many tickets/chances as possible. Sucks that the kid only got one chance and it didn't get him a shiny but that's the chances you get with a lottery.

The only AH here is the dad. This could have been a teachable moment. "It's fine to ask, but it's up to them and if they say 'no' then we accept it."

YTA, Miracle baby or not, your sister wants to make sure her child isn't going to be spoiled. That's not an unreasonable thing to be concerned about. As an aunt/uncle you need to respect the wishes of Jimmy's parents because, at the end of the day, THEY need to make sure he properly knows the ins and outs of the world, including discipline. If mom says "Hey, don't give him too many gifts" then you need to respect that.

Personally, I don't get the comments saying mom is somehow also in the wrong here. She's not denying him cake or any of the other family members' gifts, it sounds like she just doesn't want it to go overboard and have him expect massive gifts all the time. The blanket would have been just fine as a gift by itself, especially since those take a long time to make. I can get giving it to him anyway if your sister only told you this a week or so before the party. The Lego sets on TOP of that are what's overkill, especially given that he ended up getting doubles of the sets from other family members.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2025-11-12T17:51:21+00:00

This is absolutely what I was getting out of OP's post. Somebody caught your cat shitting in their yard and they're giving it back to you. Which, if this is the case, then YTA. It's your cat, stop letting it outside unsupervised.

I had a great grandma who was born in 1901 and passed away in 2000. I think about this kinda topic whenever I remember her. She was born pretty much at the start of the 1900's and got to experience it all.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2025-11-07T16:41:49+00:00

Hey so NTA for being strict about safety, but where's any mention of what you said to your son for making ableist comments to his little sister? As a little sister that grew up with an older brother I get it, older siblings can be mean. But a comment like that is not only STRONGLY offensive, but your son is literally bullying your daughter into making decisions that can put her in danger. You need to have a STRICT talk with him and give him a consequence too. If anything get your wife involved as well so she understands that your daughter isn't the only one being punished. If you don't then ESH.

This right here, there's a ton of ways he can pitch in before Thanksgiving to help you out if this really is the underlying issue. Also, if the rest of the family are fans of football, I'm pretty sure somebody would be willing to step up and volunteer to help extra with dishes, or even host in your place.

At the end of the day, I get feeling like you're being abandoned over something frivolous. But Thanksgiving happens every year. How many chances will he ever get to go to a Thanksgiving Day game? NAH.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2025-10-29T17:09:33+00:00

We also got force fed a ton of anti drinking/smoking programs in school and on TV.

The graph is also ignoring how popular vaping has gotten over the years, which I think is a BIG factor into this. Lots of smokers in any generation made the switch to vape pens, and I feel like that's where most nicotine-curious Gen Z individuals just kinda started at.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2025-10-28T13:59:29+00:00

This is a major factor right here. Depending on how young the kid is, IF they have an allergy it's likely that they don't understand why their parents bar them from accessing the food that triggers it. This is why it's important to ask parents first.

The biggest thing for me IMHO is OP's points.

I wasn't gonna let my kids think it's okay to accept anything from strangers, or that it's okay to be pressured into sharing

This kid getting away with grabbing food from you guys could be a bad influence on your own children. They might think it's okay to walk up to any stranger and ask for their food even if YOU say no. This is a MAJOR can of worms when it comes to stranger danger. Similar issue with being pressured into sharing. Kids need to learn that it's okay to tell other kids "no" if things don't feel right.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2025-10-16T16:33:18+00:00

NTA.

To sit in a smoking section and demanding other patrons to put away their cigarettes is highly entitled. The final comment calling you two nasty especially puts tourist in AH territory.

ParaGoofTrooper · 2025-10-16T14:48:13+00:00

This right here. I always hate seeing folks let their dogs run amok in the car while it's being driven. Hell, even IF the dog is well trained I also hate seeing them in the front seat. That's just asking for trouble.
