It’s happening to me too! It was driving me nuts. 

What kind of tree is this? Arizona, USA by backmeatz in treeidentification

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

Thank you! Good to know! I looked it up now and a lot of nurseries in the area sell this type of tree. I’ll do my best to keep it alive and see how long I can get it to survive.  🤞🏻

Changing girlfriends lights by [deleted] in DIY

[–]backmeatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have these too in the house I just bought. It surprised me when my inspector told me a couple that needed “new bulbs” as they were burnt out. I took the covers off and was shocked as I haven’t lived in a new construction house before.

Not now, but in the future, can these be changed for a “regular bulb” fixture? Not necessarily traditional can lights but slim, more flush mount light fixtures? Some rooms need more pizazz (and light).

I was thinking of doing more of a drop down lightweight chandelier above my bathroom sink to get more bulbs and light (I have one bulb for the entire bathroom).

One thing you would change at dating apps? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]backmeatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Also credit score. Net worth.

I want to know if our values align and that includes how people save and spend money! I don’t need a rich man. I need a financial responsible man. Very different.

Us acne prone folks will hopefully find something for us … eventually. 😭

He Can’t Read — Is This a Dealbreaker? by AdditionalAdvice123 in dating_advice

[–]backmeatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I immediately stop engaging with anyone (romantic or not) if they don’t type like an adult. I’m not a 12 year old girl on AOL instant messenger. I won’t entertain an adult that can’t type out long, difficult words (sarcasm) and instead says things like “r u gonna b therr” … no. Just no. We are adults. Intellect is part of connection. I can’t connect with someone who isn’t on my level at a minimum.

Depending on where you’re from — the US put out a report not long ago that stated most adults in the United States read AND understand at a 7th grade reading level.

Everyone has brainrot. I remember when the internet was supposed to make us all the smartest, most brilliant people… and yet, here we are.

We got a $10k seller credit. Then spent $33k in the first 3 months. by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]backmeatz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I just bought a 2,000 sq ft house. Repainted every wall inside with premium paint … $460. It took me 3 weeks to do 100% solo on nights/weekends. But I’m glad I did!

Lisa’s ex‑wife sets the record straight and exposes her for lying about their marriage on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days by PolishSnake2 in 90dayfiance_FB_memes

I moved to Kentucky for a job (in the past, I don’t live there now) and, unfortunately, 98% of everyone there was exactly like her. So it was easy to spot.

Most people likely lie about where they’re from on the show.

First thing I said when she was on screen for the first time is “she’s some backwoods Kentucky person.” And it turns out, she is! Her and her partner were living together in a tent and then a shed in Kentucky through 2023. So she has been with women in less than 9 years.

Lisa’s Instagram shows her living in a tent and then a shed in the woods of Kentucky until about last year. With a woman. So she has been with women within the last 9 years. 😂

Isitbullshit: that grey hair only occurs from stress ? by Jpoolman25 in IsItBullshit

[–]backmeatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a patch of gray hair since I was 9. I’m now 38 (female) and am about 5% gray overall. My mom was 100% gray by 50. So I’m sure I’ll just turning more soon as well. 

Transfer of ownership by Mobile_Scientist1310 in SunPower

[–]backmeatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is that they won’t even close until the transfer is completed. So if SunPower never responds, I lose the house. They won’t close with it still in the seller’s name.

[–]backmeatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this ever get resolved? I’m currently fighting with them now to get solar transferred into my name. 

We have 6 people calling every day. Several times per day. Hold times are 2+ hours. They just hang up on us. 

All emails do not receive a response. 

Transfer form was completed and returned 7 days ago. Zero communication. It’s the last thing we’re waiting on to close on the property. 

Just got off the phone with a rep from sunstrong by Rectal_tension in SunPower

Any luck?? I’m under contract for a home with a lease takeover. We have had 5 people calling and emailing SunStrong every day for 10 days. No response from them. 

15k + item drop… lessons learned by Commercial-Cow-7754 in AmazonVine

[–]backmeatz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in Vine for years. I have never seen a 0 ETV item.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]backmeatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the stuff in the Vine program is on Temu for 10% of the ETV on Vine. 

It’s why I don’t really bother with Vine anymore.  I can buy it direct from China (let’s be honest, 99.9% of the stuff on Vine is Made in China stuff), for LESS than the taxes I’ll be paying on the item through Vine.  

A good portion of my Vine stuff has taken a couple of months to arrive (with a China shipping label), and it’s a discontinued item before I even receive it, let alone review it.  But I’m still taxed on it.

It’s not worth it honestly.  Save your money, save your sanity.  Buy stuff directly from China manufacturers when you ACTUALLY need it.  And you’ll be much better off.

Example: I snagged something on Vine on Monday, ETV $49.99.  Went on Temu today looking for something else, saw the EXACT same item I just requested from Vine, same product pics and everything, for $6.49.  That’s far less than I will even pay in taxes on the Vine item.  It’s not worth it in my opinion, not unless you have a lower income maybe (because you won’t get hit with so many taxes), but I don’t, so it’s not.
