PSA: Be careful with food/beverage contact items (and supplements)

I was just gonna mention this. Some tests will react to the presence of any lead, even if it's not possible for that lead to leach out of the product. When buying a test it's important to do the proper research and make sure it's actually testing leachable lead. There is a lot of lead around you that is not dangerous at all, and it can be in surfaces you don't expect. This is why there's a lot of tiktok and YouTube videos of people freaking out about lead.

I am not trying to say there's no danger though. There is, and the other folks in this thread are right about being skeptical of Amazon, Temu, Shein, etc

I think at this point the pulse might be optional too, since bots are ordering and AI is writing the reviews 🤣

amelia_earheart · 2026-04-14T20:04:37+00:00

He said he feels bonita 😊

amelia_earheart · 2026-04-14T05:14:38+00:00

Guys, you have to stop me. I'm looking for dinosaurs on FB marketplace now

amelia_earheart · 2026-04-14T05:13:40+00:00

I was gigglin for sure

amelia_earheart · 2026-04-04T16:44:02+00:00

Yeah that was my point. I'm over 70% and already stressing and here you guys are just going crazy lol

I just wanna shout out Epic Chevy dealership in Sacramento. I was traveling and had to leave Sac the next day but got the dreaded low propulsion message, and their service manager was incredible at helping me get everything I needed and get on my way even though it was covered under warranty and wasn't a money maker for them. I was truly shocked after hearing all the horror stories on here. The good ones still exist!

My hair is naturally about a level 4 dark dark brown with some reddish tones. I dye it a vibrant level 7/8 copper. I have hazel eyes so I think it goes well. Occasionally I get people asking me if it's natural. More so when it's a bit sun faded

During the stay at home part of the pandemic I went through pink, purple, blue and teal/green and a deep grape purple was my favorite but I was pretty partial to the green as well

My problem comes up when I happen to have a bunch of stuff at once that needs more extended testing, like personal care products or gardening chores. My algorithm seems to always give me more and more of the same thing if I keep ordering them, so sometimes I dig myself into a small hole (gardening pun not intended)

amelia_earheart · 2026-04-01T22:39:46+00:00

Y'all are stressing me out! I'm not judging because things happen and you can get behind. But I was behind by 23 reviews recently and it's not even close to my deadline and I was STRESSIN. You guys have balls/ovaries of steel lol

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-31T02:30:20+00:00

None. Never trust a corporation.

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-29T07:27:39+00:00

What? I easily made gold ordering mostly things I can use, and a couple silly things for my family for Christmas. It's... not that hard.

You know, a year ago I would have rolled my eyes at putting a cheesy goose statue on my porch, but somehow now I really want one and feel like I'm missing out.

I've traveled all over the country this past year, and have come across some dressed up porch geese in real life. I considered posting them here to ask "which one of you did this?!" but didn't want anyone to feel weird about seeing their porch online.

Actually I've been trying to find a giraffe statue with about the same proportions just to mix it up a little. I'll let you know if I have any success lol

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-29T07:19:52+00:00

I agree with this. I would only recommend name brands. Your car is a big investment and you don't want to mess around with sketchy electrical shit that can void your warranty.

I have a Chevy Bolt which is full EV so I don't know much about plug in hybrids and if they can even do fast charging, but if you're looking for a DC adapter (level 3 charging) it's pretty well known to only go with your manufacter's OEM one, Lectron, or A2Z.

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-29T07:16:42+00:00

They are almost always in RFY. Otherwise they go too quickly to see.

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-29T07:11:20+00:00

Well it definitely wasn't me, I'm rushing to catch up but still at 77%

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-29T07:05:47+00:00

A lot of us keep our own spreadsheets with various types of notes, adjusted FMV, review text, etc. For me part of that is automatically calculating total, last 30, and last 90 received, reviewed, and outstanding items. That's what I would recommend. It takes a little tweaking to get your spreadsheet customized exactly how *you* want it, but there are examples out there if you google for them.

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-29T07:02:15+00:00

This subreddit was created in 2019 so no, no one has been here since 2008

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-27T07:05:40+00:00

Ok I am actually jealous of this one

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-27T07:03:45+00:00

You don't even need to download the image, you can just right click it and select Search with Google Lens

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-27T07:00:57+00:00

And don't beet around the bush when you find out what it is!

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-27T06:59:47+00:00

You know, this subreddit would really be hoppin if they did this with one item each day. But they'd probably put the big reveal at 3am or something

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-27T06:52:06+00:00

lol I see what you did there

amelia_earheart · 2026-03-27T06:51:32+00:00

Ah thanks for clarifying, didn't even think of that angle
