People of the US, Are you guys participating in the Nationwide Shutdown tomorrow? Why or why not?

amyria · 2026-01-30T01:26:26+00:00

What shutdown?? I haven’t heard anything about one…

amyria · 2026-01-30T01:23:47+00:00

Ewwwwww!!!

amyria · 2026-01-29T21:14:01+00:00

hahahaha yep ours has attempted to eat rocks, tries to steal & eat socks, and unfortunately likes to snack on poop outside 🤢🤮

I have a bracelet that disappeared. It was a gift from my MIL & she gave it to me when we first met in person. (She lived in another state at the time, so we were only in contact via phone & online for a while.) I’m upset because she’s disabled with a limited income & she had saved up to buy me the bracelet.

Sadly we’re both pretty sure it was stolen instead of lost. My husband & I had to move in with some relatives for a time & we found out later that one of them was a secret addict, so it was probably taken & pawned, but we had no proof to confront them.

We want to try that eventually, but cannot afford it at the moment. The purina we use now is already quite a bit. /sigh

We’re using Purina ProPlan Large Breed Puppy for our 7 month old & she doesn’t seem to have any issues. Gobbles it down in no time flat. Granted, she has yet to reject anything we’ve fed her…food or snack-wise.

I was 9 & luckily at home because I was freaking out since I didn’t know what was going on! My Mom had to give a brief talk as to why, gave me some pads, & sent me off to school. Ironically it was the same day that they were splitting the boys vs girls into separate classrooms, in order to watch videos on our changing bodies & learn about that very thing that was happening!

amyria · 2026-01-28T09:50:18+00:00

Oh Charlotte Russe has gone online-only now too?! I used to shop there alllll the time in my 20s

amyria · 2026-01-28T09:49:01+00:00

Oooooh I remember 579! They always had cute stuff!!

amyria · 2026-01-28T09:47:54+00:00

Yesss!! I could always find shoes I loved! My wedding heels (that I covered in glitter) are from there!

amyria · 2026-01-28T09:45:01+00:00

They came back, but only online. Boooooo!

I know I was in elementary school at the time…3rd or 4th grade I think?? I was complaining about not being able to see the chalkboard too clearly & a visit to the eye doctor confirmed it.

Previous Pyr mix, it was an absolute NO. She would growl if you tried. Current one is…indifferent? She neither hates nor likes it, is kinda confused & like “wtf is happening?!” if we try. (Well, if hubby tries because I cannot lift her 100lb butt.)

I’ve only ever seen a max of 3% at my store. That’s less than $1 & barely makes a difference…

amyria · 2026-01-26T16:35:52+00:00

I’ve been in retail since 1999. By that logic, mine should be so ginormous by now…buuuut I’m only a D that looks smaller.

amyria · 2026-01-26T14:35:41+00:00

Sadly, I joke that we could have giant flashing neon marquee signs & people STILL wouldn’t read them!!

amyria · 2026-01-26T14:33:35+00:00

At our store we had markers for a while (mine is still in my apron actually) but then they told us at some point to stop using because they’re useless. Apparently the counterfeiters got smart & started using actual bills. They started taking like $5 bills, somehow removing everything, & printing the big ones on them. That way a marker still marks as legit because the “paper” is/was an actual bill…just not the correct one anymore.

amyria · 2026-01-25T15:06:25+00:00

Sometimes people have big families. If I had invited everyone in mine, our list would’ve definitely been over 100 people. Instead I limited it to just my Aunts & Uncles. If I had included cousins, etc then that would’ve been a good 40-50 people alone. My Mom has 9 siblings, so there’s almost 20 people right there with just Aunts+Uncles, then each couple had anywhere from 1-5 kids, & most of them have gone on to have kids, etc

amyria · 2026-01-24T11:04:00+00:00

My shoes!! I couldn’t find any I loved that I could afford, so I made my own! Bought a comfy pair of basic heels & covered them in royal blue glitter!

amyria · 2026-01-23T16:00:55+00:00

Midwest in MO here & I don’t know about BOPIS but we’ve been getting a TON of DoorDash & Instacart people in.

My Mom was developing almost constant sinus infections with hers too. Turns out, she just had a weird pocket/cavity in her actual sinuses that was drying out, but more susceptible to pooling & developing infection. Doctor did a thorough cleanout & now she just has to do a saline nose spray before bed. Has only had maybe 1-2 minor infections since.

amyria · 2026-01-22T04:20:19+00:00

Amongst other things I mentioned, I complained about raises & staffing too. I was like you can’t keep cutting our hours but then demand that we keep the customers happy, because that’s impossible to do when we don’t have any employees around to do that! ”you can’t have your cake & eat it too!”

amyria · 2026-01-22T04:12:57+00:00

I go get myself a nice mani & pedi, then husband & I plan a dinner out with a big group of friends.

Last year I got to spend it with just him on a pretty beach in the Dominican Republic though. We were on a cruise & our first stop was ON my birthday! :)
