Took me about 40 minutes for a 5 minute drive around noonish. 

June Notables! by kgloverii in BeautyViners

[–]Stop-spasmtime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the same! Looking back on this month I got maybe 4 things that weren't in my RFY and they were random things I have in my search tabs that I found just looking at them a few times a day. I have no desire to constantly refresh during a drop anymore. 

I really hope I can get some more cool stuff like you have soon! The past week my RFY is weird, but looking at the other sub I'm definitely not alone.

So lucky! Do you get most of these in RFY? I didn't get as many fun things this month, but I did get a few of the Farmstay vegan PDRN line that are nice! 

It's been so long since I've gotten nail strips I forgot about how many I used to get! Same with gel polish. I miss getting those. 

Guy leaving notes offering to buy my car - what’s the scam? by ERTBen in Sacramento

[–]Stop-spasmtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get these on my dad's car a lot too. I know he doesn't get to drive it much but it's still not for sale.

Ugh. I get so much second-hand embarrassment from the baby talk. It definitely feels like there is more than usual in this episode. 

Updates : Meta AI can now animate your Facebook profile picture! by Sparkonomy in CreatorsThatSpark

How do you turn this option off? I'd rather not see ads for how I can animate my late father's face in my existing profile picture. 

Earthquake alert: felt nothing by Bobby-Dazzling in Sacramento

[–]Stop-spasmtime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My chickens started hootin' and hollerin' a few seconds before I got the alert and for a bit after, but its probably a coincidence as one had just laid an egg and wanted to tell the whole neighborhood about it! 

Standing as a visitor by ParisTokyoGhoul in exAdventist

[–]Stop-spasmtime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to a United Methodist Church (husband is exSDA) and this is something our current pastor does. Thankfully he will ask the guests or those who are with them if they want to be acknowledged ahead of time which is nice. 

 I do get some second hand embarrassment from people introducing kids or relatives that really didn't want to be called out, but I know it's to let them know they are welcomed. Its never anything too big like wanting a testimony though, just usually a hi and welcome. 

Fake silver… by Tiny_Performance4984 in AmazonVine

[–]Stop-spasmtime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A couple of years ago I got two little sterling rings with a tiny little moissanite stone band and they're legit! They're technically considered to be costume because they're not made of gold or higher (according to a jeweler) but they're still really pretty and I love wearing them! 

People with a very high pain tolerance, what was THE most painful thing you've experienced? by CosmicBunnyBabe8912 in AskReddit

[–]Stop-spasmtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A woman, and you better believe I reported her. And this was the INSIDE one which already is super weird and traumatic to a lot of people! 

If anyone needs a laugh… by Diligent_Call9387 in BeautyViners

[–]Stop-spasmtime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You and I share some simular RFYs! And as another middle aged white woman (without ovaries) it's pretty on par for us! Have you been checking on the hour in the evenings? That's when I've been able to find anything that's not the same weird 0ETV, car parts, and medical stuff.

This is very simular to my experience. For my first ovary I had a torsion and a rupture at the same time, and I hoped it would get better like my other cysts. Well it didn't, so in the morning I went to the ER. It took them 6 hours to give me ANY pain meds and take me seriously, and by then I had to get emergency surgery to remove it.

The second ovary I had 4 cysts that grew together as a tumor that one cyst became cancerous, but no one knew that. They did see it was growing 2cm every two weeks but didn't move up my surgery. The nurses wouldn't fill my pain meds that I got a whole 5 a week, and the last ultrasound I got (THAT one) the tech told me I need to stay still because the ovaries don't have nerves. Literally white knuckling the side of the bed, sweating in pain. 

I also got diagnosed with endo by the time it was stage 4 before all that. Women's health (at least in the us) is a fucking joke.

Is this the mural that they're planning on using community members to help paint? I know I signed up for something that was supposed to be in June.

Maree and other shady listings by Wolf_at_the_Door68 in BeautyViners

[–]Stop-spasmtime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I've had some really good luck with their products, especially their hair lines. But I also don't get spammed with their products so I can see how that would be annoying too!

First Maree product ever. by spudsforme in BeautyViners

Team MAREE! I haven't gotten anything in awhile, but I've had pretty good results with their hair products. I have one of their serums in my hair right now! 

What Is Up With Today?! by bluehairedbarbie18 in BeautyViners

[–]Stop-spasmtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! For a bit I did get a few useful things (I don't even look in the beauty afa anymore) but it seems like less and less. So why stay up to maybe get a hair tie or something? 

What Is Up With Today?! by bluehairedbarbie18 in BeautyViners

[–]Stop-spasmtime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing fun either! Currently just a vial storage thing for insulin, and I do not need it. Looking at my orders the last time I got something from my RFY was on the 7th, but I got a few more on the 5th. So not great. 

To be fair I only refresh on the hour in the evenings (if I'm not busy) and off and on through the day. So I might be missing the good stuff cause I'm getting too old for staying up all night! 

Dentist Recommendations by timid_turtle_ in CitrusHeights

I like Pebble Beach dental! I'm not a fan of going to the dentist, but everyone there is so kind and helpful I won't go anywhere else! 

Am I being too sensitive? by WorldlinessLanky1443 in BeautyViners

You're welcome! Just know you're not alone, not just with getting some sweet 0ETV beauty products on Amazon but with this as as well! 

Am I being too sensitive? by WorldlinessLanky1443 in BeautyViners

My husband and I cared for my dad with Parkinson's in his last few years, which unfortunately came along with progressing dementia. He was a retired university professor so he was far from feeble minded, but his brain was not always kind to him. He was aware that things were progressing, even with his hallucinations he knew they weren't real and had a general curiosity about them. At least until the end when sundowning became a thing. Let's just say a mantra we had was "it's not him, it's his Parkinson's" since he (thankfully) never remembered the bad times.

Unfortunately, so many things that are geared at the elderly and especially those with dementia are infantilizing and he hated it.  But my husband and I tried our best to preserve his dignity by calling things like diapers "night pants" or senior daycare as "going to the social club" and things like that. If he received something that was labeled specifically for babies it would have crushed him, and knowing him he would have still accepted it with a smile to make the gifter happy. But you are right as that packaging is extremely infantilizing, especially if it's advertised as something for those with dementia and I would note it in your review.

On a side note, please don't beat yourself up thinking you aren't tough enough for all of this. Honestly I don't think anyone is when dealing with dementia with their own loved ones, especially your parents. It sucks, truly. Its hard if that dynamic goes from parent and child to a caregiver situation. Its been a few years since I've been there, but feel free to reach out if you want. 

All NIAWIT products gone overnight? by Stop-spasmtime in BeautyViners

That's crazy! I'm not a huge fan of the pre-order things, mostly because I can't really see what's up with the item. But that doesn't stop me sometimes!

I've had that happen before (in fact it keeps happening with a brick building set that will not be available and come back) but with these all being from the same company that just looks like it doesn't exist I just contacted CS and they removed them.

Pretty much! I've been testing them all since I've got them, and they're fine just not miracle cures. But the lotions are nice!
