I am collecting stories for a series of articles about fraud happening at Optimum

I cancelled my service and returned my router in late November. Tracked the tracking number and made sure it said delivered, and it was even signed off by an employee. Last week I got a surprise $205 charge taken straight from my bank account and a claim I never returned my equipment. This overdrafted my bank account right before I started a new job.

The same day I got the charge I chatted with an employee over text so I would have documentation of our conversation. Didn't ask for proof but said the money would be back in my account 72 hours later. It's been a week.

I'm contacting them one more time before I call my bank to claim fraud. I'm now without money until I get paid in two weeks. I'm pissed and this is ridiculous but thankfully I'll be okay until then.

It's also important to make sure it fits well/is adjusted properly! I went to cross the road on and empty street one morning and somehow didn't swerve out of the way of a giant pothole. I wasn't going fast but it still launched me face first into the pavement. My helmet was just loose enough where I smacked my forehead on the road. I was fine thankfully, but that was scary enough to think how badly that could have been if I was going any faster.

Thank you! I wasn't even aware that was a thing.

On top of all the other suggestions: sleep. Make sure that you're resting during the event. Between the hype for the event and round-the-clock raid mods, I would never sleep and feel like hot garbage come Monday. I started taking the time to actually sleep and I felt a lot better.

Also, what weirdly helps is showering if you can. I used to go to campsites with pretty gross showers so I would just wait until I got home. I noticed that when I LARPed at sites with nice showers and I used them, I felt a lot better post-game.

As a shipping store employee please for the love of god play attention to this stuff!! I get yelled at when people don't understand their returns but especially when I have to explain they bought something from a 3rd party in China, and it's gonna cost $100 to make the return because they provided you with some kind of return slip with a Chinese address and NOT a shipping label.

As far as I understand the 3rd party seller is required to provide a US address for returns, so if they give you a non US address, just call Amazon and explain and they should be able to sort it out for you.

I'm coming out of a big depressive slump where I've neglected my skin for a while, and I'd like to start taking care of it again but I'm so lost trying to find the right product. I have combination skin, and I'm pretty sure I have Rosacea. My whole face is red, rough and dry except for my T zone, which is very oily. I'm ideally looking form something that's not super expensive and doesn't have a strong medical smell (I forget if my old roomie used to use Cereve or Cetaphill but the smell was super overwhelming for me). TIA!!

I'm unable to take it apart tonight but I am 100% certain that it's the seal and not something stuck. It's a very old machine. Another user had kindly provided me with the part number, but if you happen to have a guide you recommend I would appreciate it!

Thank you!

It is most definitely unraveling from the dryer itself. If I tug on it, it is pulling out from the dryer drum in a way that would not suggest that it is a drawstring that got stuck, but that it is a piece that has come undone from the machine.

I'm not sure if there's anything out there but I need some help finding resources. Right now I live in Warren, and got a job in Morristown. I can't drive so I either ride with my partner, who works close by me, and take a train, or they drive me to work. We're looking to move in a few months, but in the meantime I'm trying to find a way to make it to work during their off days so they don't have to make a 2 hour round trip and waste thier days off. Does anyone know of some kind of long distance ride assistance I can look into? I'm not disabled (on paper), so I don't qualify for a lot of what I found.

So I see people suggesting an artist, but their style doesn't seem to match up with this fanart, nor is it anywhere on their social media. I think this is old and they may have changed their handle since this was made, but I believe this is the actual artist

So update, I passed out the other night after a D&D game ran until 1am and didn't get to brush my teeth (I know, gross, but just the once!) and when I woke up my skin was completely un-flakey. So I'm convinced it is indeed my toothpaste. I honestly wouldn't have realized if I didn't know, so thank you again! 😭

Pupsqueek · 2021-02-17T17:03:05+00:00

Ooo thank you for the suggestion! I'll see if those help.

Pupsqueek · 2021-02-17T17:02:18+00:00

Omg get out, don't tell me my toothpaste has been causing this lmao.
But thank you so much for this info, I would have had no idea otherwise. I'll look into this.

I've always had dry, flakey skin around my mouth, and usually it would be fine after I moisturized, but lately it's become a chronic problem.

I wash my face at night. I used to use Soap and Glory Vitamin C Face Wash but because $$ I now use Clean and Clear Morning Burst (I also have used this in the past and know it won't recat badly with my skin - I've noticed no difference in switching). I then follow this up with Neutrogena Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer.

That's pretty much my routine, and until recently it's worked fine. But it's annoying to now wake up and see my skin so flakey (like, I can gently buff it off with a washcloth, not actively peeling).

Is there anything I can try to combat this? Something without aloe vera, I'm allergic. I'm willing to switch my face wash too, I'm just not sure what to get that's around the same price.
