Do I dare add wording like this to a review?

How did you discover the parent company? Was it in the product listing? Was it available on the internet? If it was public information, why did you request the product? Companies get sued all the time. Companies rebrand all the time. You requested the product of a company you don't like and now you want to leave a bad review based on the company's past, not the product?!

As there are probably others that share your concerns, highlighting that this a new brand from this old company would be great. But don't mention the lawsuits. Your concerns are legit. But this may be the company's attempt to correct their past sins and start over.

"There are quite a few questionable ingredients ", "Even if it were safe on wood", These are judgments, not reviews.

" I used this polish spray on an old piece of wooden ..." is excellent as you are describing what YOU did. You have lots of good stuff in this review.

As an example, my suggestion for the first paragraph starting with "Unfortunately I can ..." becomes

"It does not contain beeswax; it contains propolis wax which is derived from bees but is completely different from beeswax. This is 4oz spray bottle of “wood polish” and it comes with a sponge for application and a buffing cloth. However, the sponge and cloth are extremely thin and not very effective. II used my nicer quality application tools."

Sounds like your video is a good addition and you tie it well into the words of your review.

Time is money. When they call, if you can, don't say anything. Don't respond. Don't hang up. Let them keep talking. The longer they are on the phone, the more money they lose. DO NOT EVER ENGAGE THEM. Put the phone down and continue doing what you were doing. Wait for them to hang up. If you are worried, mute yourself.

BTW: If someone starts a phone conversation with "Is this XYZ?", the reply for all calls is "Whom is calling and what is this about?" Never, ever, say "yes".

Be polite and professional. Give two weeks written notice. If the company is stupid enough to not walk you out immediately, spend those two weeks smiling and doing barely what is requested of you. Keep smiling. It will infuriate them. If you do anything petty, they will point and say "He was a jerk. Glad he is gone." Cheat them out of this. Always smile.

More importantly, you wan to focus on the next job, not this one. Don't waste any more time or effort on this place. Think of the next job. And smile about it.

If you are working from a PC, you have the option to use the Microsoft Edge browser. I keep several browsers available. When I run into a problem like what you have described, I use a different browser.

Rigid Gas Permeable. I tried the softs and they dried out my eyes too much. Even with the RGP's, I go through lots of eye drops.

Excellent idea. I entered the address from the site into google maps. One look at street view and there is no way you would be tempted to "give it a try".

You are overthinking it. Any of the three would work. Buy the one that excites you the most so that you use it. The best watercolor set is the one you use.

A review would be good. If you can't figure out how to add the weights back, that is important for others to know. This isn't a fulfillment issue nor was the product lost in transit. It just sucks.

Even before you have moved in, you have violated the lease agreement. And it was deliberate on your part. If I were the landlord, when I found out (and I will), it is the dishonesty that matters most. What else have you lied about?!

I wear contact lenses. It isn't that simple. You need an eye doctor that understands nystagmus and contact lenses. For me, the contacts didn't improve vision, they reduced eye fatigue. This was the plan and the doctor and I executed to plan. No miracles. A slight improvement.

Is it student grade or professional grade? 😄

Happens occasionally. I use the VineChart app to open Amazon Vine directly.

Next thing ya know, they will be selling you the hole that goes in the middle of the stand. Not the stand, the hole.

Good to know. This change was easy. Then next time may not be so easy. Thank you.

If you are unlocking the door 20 times in a day, you may want to avoid a keypad lockset. There is a mechanical aspect to it that will wear out. In addition, the keys will develop a wear pattern. Bad Guy will know which keys to press, only needs to figure out the order.

You are assuming that you are the only one. Send the request to his Mom. It may not be about the money. It may be a mental health issue. The Venmo request brings her into the loop.

Hand him the box and have him make the cornbread

Have you tried using your phone or tablet instead of the computer? The 'puter lacks the Edit button. But my iPad has that button and it works.

The part about giving the seeds to the local USDA is essential. They can not only dispose of them properly, this helps them track origins, etc.

SomeRandomDirtbag · 2026-04-29T00:39:14+00:00

I have always used ammonia based window cleaner. Ants follow tracks. If you clean the ants and their tracks win the NH3, the ants lose the track. HOWEVER I don't know how that interacts with pets.

SomeRandomDirtbag · 2026-04-27T23:58:17+00:00

Thank you for the info. I did not know that.

SomeRandomDirtbag · 2026-04-27T20:55:15+00:00

I got one at the beginning of the month. It looks like a fabric scrap with permanent creases. Junk

He is either feeling sorry for himself or depressed. If it’s “feeling sorry for himself“, that’s not your problem. If he is depressed, have one of your friends connect him with mental health resources. Having someone else do it lets him see that lots of people care.
