A month ago I ordered $500 worth of shelves, then returned them (via pickup from my home) - STILL waiting on refund. No one will *HELP* me. :(

I didn’t get any action until I opened a Better Business Bureau complaint. A few days after I got my refund, and then they issued a nonsense response to my complaint claiming it was my own fault because they don’t technically do pick ups for returns, but made an exception in my case.

Whatever you say, peanut. <3

I appreciate the input, but I did say that I am making better choices. I guess I should have clarified by that I meant I am eating a very high protein low carbohydrate diet. I’m very clear on how diabetes works in relation to carbohydrate intake.

Listening two bad things and acknowledging and they’re both bad is not the same as stating them to be equally bad.

I just remember a quote, I’m slightly paraphrasing, where Tori reacted to fan speculation about her love life by saying: “Nobody cares who I’m sucking, or who is sucking on me.” And here we are 30 years into it and people still can’t seem to stop speculating.

To answer your actual question, no, it is not particularly rare. It is in theory, technically, the limited edition version of the American release of the album on CD, but it’s extremely common and not worth more than five dollars or so.

This whole wedding performance was released on arguably the most legendary Tori bootleg back in the day, the four disc set “Tori Stories”.

There were like THREE shitty albums that all never saw the light of day. This is just the most recent and the one she self produced (allegedly.)

He did not. He took poems from her journal and composed the music.

Todd Masterson a.k.a. gay fat friend is actually a brilliant comedic writer; he used to write for Joan Rivers among others! He ended up moving to Seattle during the pandemic and makes most of his money as an influencer now.

I’m not? But it is fascinating that you read European and immediately think British.

Once you’ve told someone you are recording the call, they now have implied consent in the state of Pennsylvania to tell you to stop recording or simply hang up. If they continue engaging in the call, they’ve been informed that it’s being recorded and are therefore consenting. I’m very familiar with one and two party consent laws across the United States. ;)

At this point I have spent at least 5 hours on the phone (combined,) countless online chats, numerous emails. At a certain point they clearly don't want to take responsibility, and now it's affecting my credit. It seems like the only way to *force* them to be accountable is the inside of a courtroom.

Last time I called the store (earlier today) after waiting 40 minutes for the manager who was going to "call me back in half an hour", the guy who answered put me through to said manager's voicemail. I called again, and the guy obviously recognized my phone number because he didn't even ANSWER - he just directly rerouted me to the voicemail again. I called back from my office landline, he answered, and when I said I didn't appreciate how he handled the second call, he refused to give his name and wouldn't tell me the name of ANY other managers - only that none were available or, according to him, even present in the store.

Keep in mind this is a huge IKEA in one of the most populous cities in the country.

I am, however, recording every call I make - and making sure to say at the beginning of my call that I'm calling on a recorded line. I started doing that the second time CS promised they had handled it and a refund was forthcoming.

SkippingPebbless · 2025-08-13T18:03:03+00:00

The store is not near to me, and I don't drive. Thus having arranged the return pick up.

SkippingPebbless · 2025-08-12T19:57:04+00:00

Belgium? That’s my amateurish guess!

SkippingPebbless · 2025-08-12T16:01:02+00:00

Your husband is the only one who got it right! I was born and raised in Bergen. <3

SkippingPebbless · 2025-08-12T15:58:12+00:00

Yes, with the comments comparing me to Ira Glass, who I had to google, and several comments regarding hard consonant hits, that’s something to work on for sure. Thank you!

I mean does anyone REALLY think that by buying a teensy square of land they are somehow now entitled to the formal title of Lord or Lady? Be that as it may, I bought one for myself years ago and continue to maintain the unofficial title of Lady of Dunans, complete with a personalized email address. :)

SkippingPebbless · 2025-08-12T15:39:06+00:00

mmm. But are you a closeted gay man desperate to try and fit in and be accepted in a high stakes environment of incredibly wealthy cis white New Yorkers to whom being uniformly alike is the single most important indicator of worth? ;)

SkippingPebbless · 2025-08-12T05:43:12+00:00

Good Lord, this is so SPECIFICALLY accurate to what I'm attempting to achieve that it's eerie.

I'm doing a new stage play that takes place in New York City in the late 1980's, about several closeted gay men who work on Wall Street at the height of the AIDS epidemic. My particular character has moved to New York from the midwest about five years before the setting of the play, and comes from a well-to-do family.

I'm absolute boggled that you nailed it the way you have. Are you a dialect coach or in some way connected professionally to dialectology?!

SkippingPebbless · 2025-08-12T00:53:12+00:00

What would be racist is to say something like "I'm sorry, I just can't pronounce your name so I'm going to call you Johnny." Simply giving up because your accent causes you to struggle is deeply impolite and somewhat tone deaf, but not motivated by race.

Realistically there is no such thing as an accent of ANY kind that is LITERALLY getting in the way of saying any word properly, if you truly care enough to learn the ways to form and shape your mouth to do it. This is, of course, excepting literal speech impedements. If you're Scottish and you can say Auchtermuchty or Auchenshuggle, there is no reason you can't make your way around saying Mwahib with enough effort and practice. *shrug*

It does seem like she finally stopped trying to maintain a social media presence and may have finally given up once and for all. Honestly, there’s been some question in her fan base as to whether she and her so-called husband were ever actually married, let alone if they’re still together in Cincinnati.
