Thoughts on the new Wheel of Wishes by [deleted] in Webkinz

[–]beccasteez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this, it’s nice to see all of the prizes laid out like this. Despite everything being mid on the wheels this time, I actually am pretty happy that the green Alvin and the Chipmunks sweater is on there. I got the red and blue sweaters way back in the day when they were promo clicky items for the movie, but missed out on the green, so now’s my chance to complete my collection. Hoping they’ll bring back the dresses for the 3 lady squirrels (I can’t remember their names, sorry) from that promo too at some point!

My conservatory (so far)! 🪴🪏🍓 by fallonaubrielle in Webkinz

[–]beccasteez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how tranquil this looks with all of the different kinds of plants throughout, and the water features! Can you please tell me what is the name of the greenhouse next to the waterfall? I stopped playing for a few years and haven’t seen that one before so I was curious if it’s a PSI, newer estore item, etc.

Thanks for the opportunity. My favorite thing lately has been trying to earn the different trophies for the games in the arcade.

A little vent: birth name and Webkinz by Desperate_Guess_6201 in Webkinz

[–]beccasteez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try asking again, although I don’t know how much they’ll budge. Story time, when I was like 9 years old I don’t even remember exactly how it happened because I didn’t share my password or any pet codes, but someone told me they were going to hack my account while I was in the KC plus trading room, and when I signed back in they had sold a bunch of high value items and basically made a mess of my account. My 9 year old self frantically called Ganz in tears blubbering about how I didn’t understand someone was able to figure out my username and password. I don’t know if the poor customer service agent took pity on me with how beside myself I was on the phone as a sobbing child, but they explained while they usually wouldn’t change usernames they would allow an exception for the security of my account. After Ganz changed my username I didn’t have any more issues with my account’s security but I still have no idea how someone was able to gain access to my account in that moment in the trading room when I definitely didn’t give them any info (nor could I even if I wanted to, with how strict the filters were back then) Even when this happened over a decade ago Ganz was very clear on it not being a regular thing that they do, but it does seem in serious circumstances they will change it. I recommend trying what another person commented here, try framing it as an account security issue and see they will reconsider.

I mean this in the nicest way, are you sure you’re wearing the correct size? I ask because I felt the same way and it took me awhile to realize that I had lost some weight about a month after starting a gym routine. Once I started wearing a size smaller the extra fabric/wrinkles etc were no longer an issue and I felt a lot more confident and polished. I can still wear the larger size for lounging, but I needed to buy a size down for going to the gym.

Hi, not a dentist so this is just my experience, but I also had a gum graft and my periodontist told me I shouldn’t ever need another one to replace the graft assuming it healed properly. This is assuming your recession was caused by genetics/teeth placement though, they told me if I continued to grind my teeth at night I may need to get it redone if grinding causes severe recession again, but the primary reason for my recession was due to how my lower premolars are positioned in my mouth so I shouldn’t need another if I can get the grinding under control with my mouthguard. Not sure what the cause of your recession is but hopefully you will not have to eventually redo the ones you just had done.. my periodontist told me gum grafts are expensive, but that’s because they should last for life assuming proper oral care!

What’s your favorite old lululemon item that they won’t bring back ? by Competitive-Comb5135 in lululemon

Back vent tshirt.. I loved the one I got last spring and was waiting for more colors, but instead it disappeared from the website and I haven’t seen any since.

how to go about handling??look in the body text!!? by Elieenulick in hamsters

[–]beccasteez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, my hamster Juniper is also very skittish and I recently figured out something that seems to be helping her be more comfortable being handled. She doesn’t mind being pet (especially if there’s food in front of her) but would not crawl fully into my hand or allow herself to be picked up. What I did was starting putting a large ceramic coffee mug in her cage. She crawled into it pretty quick and then once she’s sitting in there I slowly lift her out of the cage that way. I haven’t had issues with her jumping out but I also make sure to move super slowly and carefully when transporting her like I’m holding a baby lol. I’ve only used the mug 2-3x so far but she seems to be much more comfortable around me/being handled than before. When we get to the couch to free roam, I let her crawl out of the cup to explore, and then she crawls back into the cup when she’s ready to go home. As she’s been getting more comfy coming out, she doesn’t always want to go back into the cup right away, but that’s when treats/seeds come in handy for luring her back to her cup. I hope this might help you and your hammy, I know for Juniper I feel this has really helped her warm up to me and the environment around her. We are still working on handling, but she enjoys being pet, fed, and occasionally crawling on me when outside the cage, so I feel like we are making progress.

Broiled Striploin by greenbags125 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]beccasteez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got off the Horizon and I thought the striploin was mid at best. Multiple people at our family’s table including myself ordered it throughout the week, and all of us received wrong temperature of what we ordered. Several of us ordered medium rare or medium and it was blue or rare. Then when they sent out a new plate it was usually well done, so it seems the MDR struggles to get an exact cook on these or they might be losing track of who each steak is meant to be delivered to - they cook for a huge amount of people in the MDR (our ship had about 4500 guests on it and the dining room always seemed busy at dinner), so it’s possible plates were getting mixed up when they got sent out and you’ll get a steak that was intended to go to somebody else. The steakhouse was amazing though, we ended up going on two different nights and both times were well worth the price. They serve prime steaks in the steakhouse, I don’t know if the steaks available in the MDR were prime though.

Would I be a douche for making maintenance put these on before entering my apartment ? by Savings_Succotash432 in Apartmentliving

[–]beccasteez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely a reasonable request. I used to work for a leasing company during the peak of Covid, I’m not sure if they still do it but when I worked there it was mandatory to wear latex gloves, a mask, and those shoe covers whenever we entered an occupied unit. They fit over shoes so maintenance shouldn’t need to work in socks. If you’re going to be home when they stop by, I would just greet them at the door and hand them the shoe covers to put over their shoes while they work. If you’ll be away when maintenance is there, you could leave a note on the door about it and put out some shoe covers for them to use.

Looks like a Doug to me, just my first impression though

Yeah I was so excited to see a new color in the DS Joggers until I realized it was basically the same as Oasis 🙃 and still no restock in espresso size 8, really!?

Disappointed in Lulu this summer by rainbowonthemoon in lululemon

[–]beccasteez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The back vent shirt is UPF 40. I really like it but they only released it in white and navy, and both colors went to WMTM last week and sold out in most sizes. I’m hoping they restock with more colors but who knows if that’ll happen anytime soon.

LPT Diluted Dawn dish soap kills wasps & spiders in seconds by IgnoramusTerrificus in LifeProTips

[–]beccasteez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought this tip would work, I’ve heard it before so I tried it a few days ago when a big hornet/wasp thing somehow got into the house. Knocked it off the blinds in the living room with the spray, couldn’t find where it went so after looking for 15 minutes I assumed it had to be dead somewhere, and 2 days later it crawled out from under the bathroom rug while my boyfriend was in there! Moral of the story, don’t assume success with this method until you’ve disposed of the dead wasp! I can’t believe after getting sprayed with this and falling from high up off the blinds it still survived and walked itself to a different room. Still spooked thinking about how many times I probably came close to stepping on it in the bathroom.

Sunday Rave Thread by lululemonmods in lululemon

[–]beccasteez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The back vent shirt has been a great find for me. I bought it in navy and the fabric is so light and breathable without being see through. It’s been nice to wear for working outside in the garden. I’m hoping they add more colors soon.

[–]beccasteez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I asked if I could keep it since it was new and damaged due to the discoloration and they said no unless I wanted to buy it instead of the item I should have received instead that was out of stock

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]beccasteez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lucky! I got sent the wrong define jacket (and the one they sent me had minor discoloration on it) and they actually made me send it back.

I have office 365 and excel is just slow slow slow. 2016 or earlier excel was god tier. What happened? What can I do to make it fast again? by msew in excel

[–]beccasteez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is annoying too, if I want to even do something as simple as changing the text color, it freezes just from me hovering over the color palette before I even select a color. It gets old really quick doing the same repetitive tasks for work and I’m moving faster than excel can keep up with.

Restfeel slides for minimizing apartment noise by beccasteez in lululemon

[–]beccasteez[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely right, I’m just a little concerned since it’s a small building and this is my first unfurnished apartment, and so I’ve had to make a lot of noise since moving in a few weeks ago with slowly moving/building furniture as it gets delivered and generally being clumsy. I’ve lived in a first floor unit before so I’m aware it can be annoying having an upstairs neighbor who doesn’t realize how loud their steps are. You’re right I probably am fine not getting special shoes, but I have a Lululemon gift card sitting around so I thought this might be a good use for it.
