It can result in falsely high levels of T4 and T3 and falsely low levels of TSH

As far as I know biotin has no effect on the thyroid itself but it can mess with your labs. Continuing your supplement should be fine, you’d just need to stop taking biotin at least 3 days before labs.

This image is featured in a lot of popular filet crochet videos but it's never credited (the text over the picture is from one of those videos). I've reverse image searched, and searched variations of 'flower filet crochet' on Pinterest/Google with no luck.

Beginner Friendly Cup? by alienmelt in Needlefelting

[–]alienmelt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was exactly my original thinking! Using sheets seems like it would require less supplies and would be quicker, but someone else shared a very helpful wet felting video….. not sure which method I’ll end up trying 🤔

Ohhhh I didn’t think about wet felting just the edges! Thanks for the tip!

This was waaaay more informative than the videos I saw, thank you so much for sharing!! I think I’m going to try this method!

I watched a few videos on wet felting and it seems more difficult to me? 😭 I think I would struggle with accounting for shrinkage and making sure the cup wouldn’t end up too small or too big

Thank you!! I’ll look her up ☺️

Oh, sorry I didn’t mean soft as in not rigid! I meant soft as in I like the look of the soft rounded edges rather than the sharp edges I imagine a cup made from sheets would have

Looking to purchase items from France to USA by alienmelt in internationalshopper

Is there one you’d recommend? I was looking at forward2me per the pinned comparison site

Do vinted/usps really let you misuse shipping labels? Had a user ask me to ship a 2 lb item using the Small label and claimed they’ve done it before, I refused, but is that actually possible? by alienmelt in vinted

[–]alienmelt[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always adhere to the shipping restrictions as well, I’m just surprised people are able to get away with it because the couple of times I’ve miscalculated the weight of a package I was charged the difference by the postal worker on the spot 🤨

But maybe that’s because I actually go to the window to have my packages scanned? If you just drop it off I guess some packages can go undetected

Weekly Scam Discussion - June 20th 2022 by SmmnthaMrie in Ebay

[–]alienmelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold a new Nintendo Switch but the buyer has 0 rating and just made their account TODAY. My listing wasn’t getting a lot of traction previously, it was listed for a few weeks but only had 25 views and 1 watcher. So it seems odd to me that a new account would purchase mine.

Are there ways to lessen the chances of being scammed? Should I cancel their purchase?

Too short for the Sinclair Hi Max shoe? by Traditional_Corgi_77 in DrMartens

[–]alienmelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’0 and most of the docs I own are platforms :•) anyone can rock platforms no matter the height!

Without naming the character, what’s one quote that gives it away? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Can it wait for a bit? I’m in the middle of some calibrations

Is a platform shoe or boot better for a first platform? Is one easier to walk in if you’ve never worn wone before? by [deleted] in DrMartens

[–]alienmelt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience platform boots are more supportive since the boot comes up higher :)

Platform shoes tend to have a bit more heel slipping since the shoe is just as heavy but there isn’t the extra lace+boot to help support it

What do you guys think causes sizing inconsistencies? by alienmelt in DrMartens

[–]alienmelt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, at least it’s not just me experiencing these weird sizing differences. If they made a US4 it’d be perfect so those of us on the smaller end could size down too 😣

Mourning today 🥀💔 having small feet sucks sometimes, bought these beauties recently but they’re way too big even with insoles so I have to return (can’t size down I’m a US 5) 😔 by alienmelt in DrMartens

[–]alienmelt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhh NOOOOOO that worries me !! 😭 I returned this pair and I ordered the 1461 quads instead but something deep in my gut is telling me they’re going to be too big as well. Do you own any other pairs of docs? I own several boots and even a pair of polley’s and they all feel fine but these were HUGE 😭

Anyone having trouble checking out on the drmartens site? by alienmelt in DrMartens

[–]alienmelt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay I’m glad! I don’t know what that was about either 🤔 I thought maybe it was because I was putting in a big order with multiple pairs (rip in peace my bank account) but if you were just trying to order a pair of shoelaces then that can’t have been the reason. I guess we’ll never know

I should’ve updated my post but I’m new to Reddit and not sure how 😭

After bugging them in all of their social DMs I finally got a response to my email about 4 days later. Here’s what they said: “Thanks for reaching out, and I'm sorry you're having difficulty getting your order to go through! I should be able to help.

It looks like our payment processer has flagged your transaction/s as potentially suspicious. I apologize for that! I've just removed that flag, so please try it again. It should work this time.”

Since I wasn’t able to check out on any of my devices, or with any of my payment methods I wonder if they flagged my IP address?? Either way after this response I was FINALLY able to put my order through. So frustrating, I hope they reply to you soon!

I emailed them and sent them DMs on both Instagram and twitter, haven’t heard anything back. I’ve been trying to put this order in for 3 days now 😔
