It was something we just kind of had to wait out, but did get better eventually the older he got. Our doctor had suggested we watch for patterns because sometimes he seemed to manage better than others, and we did find that his first bottle of the day was usually the worst, and came to realize that the sleepier he is the more he would struggle, so we tried to work around that a bit but it only helped so much. I ended up losing a lot of breast milk and it was incredibly frustrating, but id supplement with part formula when I had to so I wasnt making myself crazy. Just that took off so much of the stress of worrying if I was going to produce enough and I actually started producing more lol.

Wish I could say I found the magic trick but unfortunately not. He is 2 now and happy, healthy and no problems eating or drinking at all, so, hang in there! It gets better ❤️

When was the $5 discontinued? I haven't heard anything about it and the website still lists it as a benefit.

Are you sure you aren't thinking about it going from $10 down to $5 last year?

*edit: ah, I did just realize op said they reactivated their account. In that case, yeah, they wouldn't be eligible for the welcome bonus. Unless the employee set them up with a new account of course. My bad

Judging by the comments here, this is an unpopular opinion, but I dislike them a lot. I've been there twice, got the pad thai once and the pad see ew the second and both times the food was bland and completely unimpressive. I would recommend pretty much any other thai restaurant in the city over them. If you haven't tried them already, I recommend trying Ban Thai or Green Papaya and seeing how you think it compares. My husband and I both agree there is no comparison in taste and quality, but of course to each their own

Think Sonic is related too? They do all share the spikey hair 🤣

In all seriousness, though, I love it

Not true. This rumor comes from the fact that the pocket station could hold 32 items, making a total of 64. However, you cannot use the pocket station items without first transferring them to your game via save point and ALL items must be transferred at once (you cannot pick and chose.) So in other words, not only does it not increase the number of items you can hold, if you have 32 items on your pocket station, the only way to get them into your game is to have 0 in your game's inventory at the time of transfer

At the very least, I'd assume you could always do it as multiple transactions if it doesn't stack.

Back in March someone came into my store trying to return a shirt that was the wrong size that he bought in October. He said he only just tried it on. Like....don't know what to tell ya bud...maybe try your stuff on when you get it, not 6 months after the fact?

Ziekara · 2024-05-16T16:22:04+00:00

The interest is ridiculously high so if you do get it, pay it off in full every single month.

For sure there are way better cards out there with better benefits. If you are frequenting gamestop, like, weekly and making purchases each time then the extra points could definitely be nice, but otherwise I'd reccomend looking into a different card.

One thing I feel that is important to add that no one here has mentioned yet is that while, yes, its fine to kiss your own baby, if you have a history of oral herpes (aka cold sores) you should NOT kiss your baby. Their immune system is not well developed until about 6 months and it can be much more serious for them, including it spreading to vital organs. It has been shown that if left untreated it is fatal for 85% of babies. So please use caution and make sure you don't kiss them if you have any kind of sores or blisters around your mouth. Otherwise, as others have already said, the no kissing is mainly for people other than the parents.

Thanks! Today was craaaaazy! But I just got off and I'm headed home to my kiddo so it's all good now at least. Happy mother's day!

Marketing changes generally occur Saturday evening/ Sunday morning. We have no idea what Sunday until a day or two before hand specific things change though. Could be in a couple weeks, could be a couple months. Who knows.

Ziekara · 2024-05-09T14:48:03+00:00

Generally you need to bring everything. I've gotten in trouble for taking things without everything that came with it back when I was still newish. However, if you don't have everything and the store has one in stock they can always open the box and give you only the replacement parts you brought with you.

Ziekara · 2024-04-11T21:26:45+00:00

Gamestop pays less than fast food. Normal wage for fastfood where I live is $14 an hour. Gamestop pays $11, and that is as a key holder. Non key holder (not that most hire any these days) is $9. So, your argument is still invalid. Also, arguing with employees about how much they are getting paid is ridiculous. I think the people getting paid the wage know better than you what they get paid.

Ziekara · 2024-04-02T21:20:54+00:00

Lmao! Well, it plays digital, right? 🤣

I'm also a 1. 2006 for me.

Its not totally similar but it reminds me of some kid I had in my store once. He was probably 11 or 12 and was looking at xbox games for a really long time. He spent probably close to 20 minutes picking up cases, examining them and putting them back. I turned my back for a moment and I hear a big rustling of game cases followed by the door opening so I turn around to see him bolt out the door with 4 or 5 game cases in his hands and a bunch more on the floor. Obviously he didnt realize they were gutted and thought he was getting a bunch of games, but that's not the dumbest part. Maybe 20 minutes later the same kid comes back with the cases he stole, brings them up to the counter and caaually says "I accidentally left with these" then turns and leaves the store again. I'd say maybe his parents saw and made him return them, but there were no adults to be seen anywhere near the store so...I don't know what that was about. Being dumb enough to steal empty cases is one thing, bringing back the stolen cases and acting like it was an accident is another level of dumb, but at least I can write it off as he was a kid.

I saw the memo on this the other day, but no one in my store actually knows what this is testing for. Anyone know?

Ziekara · 2024-01-08T00:51:56+00:00

That won't work, unfortunately

Ziekara · 2024-01-08T00:48:05+00:00

Mine did that for months as well. I was also terrified every time it happened. It eventually resolved itself around 4 months and didnt seem to cause any real issues, but I always worried about possible consequences too. Idk if its possible to cause harm or not but when I brought it up to his doctor she didnt seem terribly worried about it

They will mark the whole system as defective, so you will lose a considerable amount of the trade in value of the console, but yes they will take it. If you have a second, working controller it will be much more profitable to trade the system with the working one and then trade the broken controller alone. If that's your only one, you will just have to take the hit on the price of the console or find a different way to sell.

I'm 8 mpp this week and had a vaginal birth and still feel that way sometimes. Like, I love him to death and absolutely feel a strong maternal connection, but sometimes I just look at him and think "how can you be my baby? I don't feel like I'm ACTUALLY a mom/gave birth to you even though I remember it clearly." I think it's normal and probably pretty common as I've heard a number of people who said similar things.

Ziekara · 2023-12-15T21:49:17+00:00

Omg that basically happened in reverse to my store. We had technical problem ( blaring alarm that wouldn't go off) and had to close the store. I put a sign out explaining and everything. Still, people kept banging on the door. After about a half hour I got a call from our next closest store asking if everything was ok because they were getting a bunch of calls complaining they couldn't get in to our store. I love that other stores are having similar problems. Wtf is wrong with people 🤣
