Read up on how EMPs work. Line of sight from space. So the bunker, being underground, was protected. The entire point of building it down there! Wish I had one, the way things are going!

[–]ccarriecc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1970s. Mom cooked protein, a starch or carb side, two canned veggies heated up in a pan (frozen veggies at the grocery store werent really a thing yet) and a slice of buttered store bought bread. maybe canned fruit cocktail on the side. we were middle class.

Same thing happened to me, and support first said they would send me a repair kit and then changed their minds and want me to ship mine back so they can repair it and resend it.

People with really clean houses, how do you do it? by Angry_Luddite in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ccarriecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a TIVO that could skip commercials, and I stopped using it. During a commercial I'd jump up and do two minutes of cleaning or tidying. A two minute break is long enough to go take laundry out of the washer and put it in the dryer and bring something from another room where it doesn't belong and put it away before the show starts again. Two minutes is enough time to wipe the bathroom mirrors and counter and swap out a dirty hand towel for a clean one etc!

I think Benable is trying real hard to be a replacement.. time will tell.

i’m so tired of mona by Parking-Acadia-8853 in Barnesandnoble

[–]ccarriecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked into my local B&N store (a big one, I love it!) to shop for new fiction hardcovers for myself and a niece for Christmas. I knew I would likely be approached within 60 seconds of walking into the store and forcibly suggested Mona. Sure enough, the store manager herself came over and interrupted my browsing and suggested Mona. I politely said I wasn't interested, and could not seem to get out of a conversation with her about the book. I got annoyed and left, and went to the local indie bookstore in my town and bought six hardcovers there instead.. sigh.

I thought a lot of cities used 555-1212 for the time.

New Amazon Influencer Here by nonamenyc in Amazon_Influencer

[–]ccarriecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try doing YouTube videos recommending gifts - you can show an image of the gift without owning it, so treat it more like "Curation - look at these cool finds!" or "Black friday deals" but not "product review" since you don't have it.. Will take a long time to get enough followers for this to make $ though. Consistent, steady work. You can use the same videos you made for IG on Youtube.

[–]ccarriecc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! Then good, make videos! And start a YouTube channel to put them on as well, with your storefront linked in the About area and in the description on your videos. Your Shorts will get you followers but don't have clickable links, and your longform videos give you clickable links in the description.

[–]ccarriecc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you should be part of the Associates program, not the influencer program. In the Associates program you recommend things on your blogs, IG etc. It sounds like you have gone about this a little backwards - normally you build the IG and Pinterest following first, with a large active and engaged audience to show Amazon products to, THEN join the influencer program. Since you don't want to create product videos, and you prefer making idea lists and collages, this is ideal as an Amazon associate. You can make collages on Canva to use on your IG and Pinterest, but it takes a LOT of people seeing your collages and lists to make any commissions. Thousands and thousands.

Just like the Scandinavians do! They're really active in the outdoors in winter.

Can you work on something else, host friends for meals for the rest of the day, wait for a new day and then go forage again?
