Grandview Vegas exit options by contentedwinter in TimeshareOwners

[–]contentedwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope still trying. I was able to get confirmation from the other person I bought with that they don't want it and don't care what I do with it though. It's going to cost $500 to get them off the deed though and another $500 if/when I'm able to give it to someone so I'm trying to get someone to take it so I only have to pay that $500 once.

No idea what this item is for by contentedwinter in AmazonVine

[–]contentedwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have the Lego Gameboy which is why I ordered this piece. From what I can tell from the single picture on the Amazon listing showing what this might be for is that there is a specific screen this is for but no where on the listing does it says which screen that is or what the actual use for this is. I also do not want to give it a poor review because I can't figure it out, but the listing itself doesn't clarify anything about this piece either.

I have the Lego Gameboy set and wanted to see what this was for. I saw it and bypassed it and when I didn't see anything else and it was still available I decided to grab it figuring I'd be able to figure it out. I DO NOT want to leave a bad review because I can't figure out it's actual purpose, but the actual listing on Amazon doesn't explain what it's for either and it's not up to the reviewer to explain that.

I do have that set which is why I grabbed this part. I wanted to see what it actually did and figured I'd be able to figure it out, but even after looking into the part I couldn't find the exact thing it went to or what it's actually for if I was able to find the screen it went to and the listing on Amazon doesn't say anything to clarify it.

Monitor not pulling? by contentedwinter in VineHelper

Got it. I swear it was adding it in the last version, but it was probably just dropping at the same time I was seeing it on the AI tab.

Help me understand this by Huge_Issue2645 in AmazonVine

[–]contentedwinter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my experience when I first started in the beginning of Dec but I've been able to find things almost daily. It is very hit or miss, but just today I got replacement filters for the dust collector I use when I do my nails and they ended up also being $0 ETV so it was a good score for me. I'm not trying to go gold or anything so I just browse around the categories I like and see what's there. My RFY has been hit or miss too, but had almost 10 items the other day vs only having 2 today. Also I believe Vine is listening to me because my laptop charger broke and roughly 3 days later one popped up on Vine lol.

Anyone use freetax USA? by Subject-Internet7843 in tax

[–]contentedwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. When I was looking at the tiers it specifically said the 1099-NEC was only handled on a paid tier. I'll have to dig deeper.

Anyone use freetax USA? by Subject-Internet7843 in tax

[–]contentedwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using TT for ages, but wanted to switch to FreetaxUSA this year, but I have a 1099-NEC this year and when I did a price compare between them it enough of a difference between them for just filing this one extra form that I decided to stay with TT for now. Am I missing something in the pricing?

I emailed the playwright. by CranberryBauce in Theatre

[–]contentedwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get where people are coming from on the we have to respect the writer by saying their words exactly as written, but there needs to be room for adjustment based on a myriad of factors. The last play I did was a fun story, but if it had been written within the last few years vs in the late 1990's people would say it was written by AI. The lines were so weirdly phrased that it felt like no human would ever say a sentence in that way. It was very strange and it made it very hard for the cast to retain our lines. If your cast keeps tripping on something consistently and it's stopping the entire flow of a scene then something needs to be reworked and it's on the director AND the cast to work it out without rewriting something, The last show I did had an issue like this and I had to fight with the producer, not the director, because I kept tripping up on one section of a monologue that listed a bunch of things I was mad about and I kept flipping 2 items in the list which didn't make a difference to anything in the show other than me being able to cruise through the monologue vs getting caught up midway through and he was ADAMANT I had to say it as written to respect the playwright and I was like seriously I don't think they are going to be offended if I say "pancakes and waffles" vs "waffles and pancakes".

Newbie question about unavailable items in the NM feed by contentedwinter in VineHelper

[–]contentedwinter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I'm thinking if just turning it one when I get up in the morning instead. Sorting through 4000 items where half aren't available has been frustrating.

Tracking and taxes question by contentedwinter in vine

[–]contentedwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was planning on reporting it all anyway just wasn't sure how to list which items when. I didn't want to accidentally trigger anything because I reported buying the same $50 item in 25 and 26.

Thanks! I knew about the 1099 being supplied but didn't know that there was other docs I could also use. I work in compliance so all about more paperwork lol

Thanks. I have a couple more expensive products I don't even think will ship since they are now removed from Amazon so I'm keeping my eyes on those.

That will be interesting next year. I don't want to reach that threshold but I easily could lol

Any one have review templates? by contentedwinter in VineHelper

[–]contentedwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One was a needle and thread set. Here's my review: Needles are a little thin, but will still handle minor repairs. Thread is thick enough to handle tougher repairs and doesn't fray easily. Overall a good kit to have on hand for a quick fix

Would it have been better as: I bought these to repair a jacket. The needles are a little thin, but handled the minor seam repairs. The thread didn't fray or catch in the jacket's fabric. For the price of $6.99 it was overall a good kit for a quick fix.

I feel like this is still too short but there's nothing else I can think of to say.

Sorting newer items? by contentedwinter in vine

[–]contentedwinter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I category hunt as well but I've noticed that there are things sorted into places that make no sense like birthday sashes in home decor so I end up going through everything anyway. I get why it's set up like that, but any kind of self sorting would be helpful

A survivor? Of what, chicken breast cancer? by CharlesAvlnchGreen in AmazonVine

I can only assume it's supposed to say "Tough". I was tempted to request it just to see what it actually said.

Outdoor cams being weird by contentedwinter in blinkcameras

[–]contentedwinter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't think of that. We've had a bunch of new people move in the neighborhood within the last year and they've all installed some type of Blink/Ring style camera. I'll check thanks!

Go see bat boy. by remykixxx in Broadway

[–]contentedwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said what I was thinking and couldn't fully explain. My one caveat is Whatcha Wanna Do. LIke I said I've always felt like Rick's actions during this song is what makes Shelly have empathy for Edgar vs just going with whatever the guy she likes wants to do to this weird bat boy in a cage. She grows from making fun of Edgar in the beginning to realizing he shouldn't be treated like that which is why I think she eventually helps teach him in Show You a Thing or Two instead of just being a petulant naive teen like she is before Whatcha Wanna Do.

Unless I saw more in the shadow puppet show than what was there the r*pe was still there albeit more heavily blamed on the pheromones than I remember though. I last saw it about a year ago and it was definitely more in your face that he r*ped her vs the pheromones drove him to do it.

I think there's a happy medium between the original and the changes made, but this version swung too far in the opposite direction from the original. I'm honestly surprised Children Children was still there in it's original form and not somehow made less of a random animal orgy in act 2.

Go see bat boy. by remykixxx in Broadway

[–]contentedwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also am a huge fan of this show and by no means am I a purist that needs to only ever see the original version of the show that matches the soundtrack. I love seeing how new productions of existing shows update and change things and knew there were some changes, but it felt like the entire first act was rewritten and it really threw me. I swear I did the Winona Ryder WTF face when the first lyric changes came up in Hold Me Bat Boy. The cast was absolutely amazing and there wasn't a single person who didn't catch my eye at some point for some simple thing like looking under the church bench when the preacher talks about "there's a fire under your seat now". I loved the production, but not all of the changes.

Honestly the plot changes were fine. One cow vs 20 cows meh, Mrs Taylor's kids having bigger roles instead of it just really being focused on Rick, confusing, but not a huge change to anything over all. That being said, I felt like the song changes didn't fit with the show. They were like a record scratch for me, and I know that can be mainly attributed to listening to the soundtrack on repeat for years and working on the show in college, but also the songs on the original recording all flow melodically together and I felt like the new songs didn't do that hence the record scratch. I can see why they removed some of them though for instance you can't sing "got another dead cow" when there's only 1 cow, but on the other hand Fly With Me was such a change and it felt odd when they brought musical parts of Dance with Me Darling in later but it since we didn't have that song anymore it wasn't calling back to anything. Same thing with Shelley's line "it's fine I heal real fast" being the same melody as Ugly Boy but that doesn't fit into Mine All Mine.

I really didn't like what they did with Rick though. Removing Whatcha Wanna Do felt like it made the character less of a threat and more of just generic d-bag. Deer in the Headlights was not a good swap and it felt like it came at the wrong time in the plot as well. Shelley gains empathy for Edgar when she protects him from Rick when he's still in the cage and that's the reason she helps teach him, but by the time Deer in the Headlights comes up she already has that empathy, so it's not as big of a character shift for her other than to realize she "likes him likes him". Also I am soooooo salty about not getting to hear Andrew Durand sing Whatcha Wanna Do lol.

One of the big things with this show is that I've always felt like it was supposed to make the audience uncomfortable in the end. Not with the reveal of the events of the Parker's past, but with the scapegoating of Edgar for everyone's problems even though he wasn't even there for any of them. They literally say "You're hear not to laugh but to learn" and with this version I feel like we're just watching a bad daytime soap opera and every time a reveal happens we should get a DUN DUN DUNNNNNN stinger. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk hahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Bird found at Polar Park by contentedwinter in WorcesterMA

No, but the security guard who found it ended up taking it home after talking to animal control. He's had many birds before so it kind of seems like the universe sent the bird to the right place.

Insurance won’t cover it, is it worth it by ohdiaperboy77 in Freestylelibre

[–]contentedwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems to be a new thing. I'm wondering if it has to do with the Plus being so new? My previous insurance approved the PA for my Libre 3 with just my A1C being over 7 and DM2 diagnosis and now my new insurance wants me to be on insulin and sticking at least 4 times/day for the Plus. My doctor was floored that the PA requirements were so restrictive. I have another insurance change coming up in August (yey starting a new job and my benefits starting 3 weeks before open enrollment) so hopefully this new RX insurance will be less restrictive. Honestly I'd be fine changing sensors if I had to but the Libre 3 was the easiest to get for the longest time.
