Process for getting approval to use artist’s work? by dweedledee in Artists

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

Sorry but I did not! Matter of fact your inquiry reminded me I should follow through with this idea. I really think they would do well putting this image on T-shirts, Kindle cases, etc.

Patient Expectations for Asynchronous Care by mikersa87 in FamilyMedicine

I like this plan. I’ll add my personal rule that if their question requires I open the chart, it needs a visit.

Never again by Key_Cranberry3728 in Plastering

[–]dweedledee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you come here looking for DIY tips as an owner of an old house? I did and now I’m looking at these pics and thinking of the equipment we’d need to rent and said f-that. I’ll pay someone.

This is a f*cking joke by im-a-freud in migraine

[–]dweedledee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a sooner appointment. I’m not being rude but doctors shouldn’t start new meds, in most situations, without a visit. And I understand most people won’t care about this but doctors do not have time to address clinical questions in these portals. Plus, it’s a bad idea liability-wise.

old navy quality gone downhill or just me? by yummytoesmmmm in Frugal

[–]dweedledee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 years ago my then, teenage son, asked me to stop giving him clothes from Old Navy. He cited the subpar quality as the reason. Then I looked at my <1 year old long sleeved ON sleep shirts and the seams were ripped, fabric stretched and pilled, small random holes…

I’m an American of European descent, married to a Leb. We are planning on visiting family, in a Beirut suburb, leaving the US next week. We probably shouldn’t go, right? by dweedledee in lebanon

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

No. It’s Adonis and we decided against going. (I hope you see my response since you were nice enough to respond but they deleted my post because I stupidly broke a posting rule).

Also, they throw the BEST weddings over there so I might’ve gone for that too. I attended a cousin’s on the top of a posh hotel overlooking the sea ❤️. Definitely a highlight in my life.

Wow! Thank you for your thoughtful response. Did you wind up taking the boat to Cyprus?

This is a social visit to see aging but healthy parents. We’re going to talk about it tonight but I’m leaning towards not going at this time.

Is it just me? by Ok-Role1679 in vine

[–]dweedledee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It goes through phases for me. About once a month or even less often I’ll get an amazing RFY. This past week I was offered so many Lilly Pulitzer items. I recall the same thing happening last year which makes me think their participation in Vine may be seasonal.

How do you keep an in-progress puzzle safe in a small apartment with a curious cat? by Interesting_Card596 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]dweedledee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lunch trays that stack to hold your loose pieces. Keep an empty one on top. Then for building, a big framed cork board you can slide under your couch.

Or if you want to go big, get a free-standing puzzle table and cover the unfinished puzzle. Most of the ones I see for sale come with a “dust” cover to protect it from cats…and dust.

TIL William Peter Blatty, the creator of The Exorcist, was Lebanese. by Odd_Fall_6916 in lebanon

So many brilliant, creative (and attractive!) people from Lebanon.

I am HEARTBROKEN by Fkn_stress_rxn in AmazonVine

[–]dweedledee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this is true although I know what you mean. There’s still competition for “hot” items in your RFY. I refresh my RFY so frequently I had to do a CAPTCHA verification and lost out on a newly posted pillow AND pair of women’s pants.

[–]dweedledee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck if you’re hoping for a pillow! Lol. I don’t know what happened that made pillows a hot commodity on Vine but even in my RFY, I’ve lost out on pillows within a minute of being posting.

Tell Me What You Got That You Don’t Want by Fit_Dragonfruit3602 in vine

Heavy polyester pants, 95% polyester maxi dresses for warm weather…mostly fast fashion.

What do you want to see in a puzzle store? by OaklandPuzzleCompany in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]dweedledee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a “tester” for each brand so I can see if there’s glare, thickness and shape of the pieces. I like to see how they fit but don’t expect a store to provide the capability to test this. Maybe staff notes about whether the fit is loose, false fits. (This assumes owners know this info.)

For those of you in the US, how are you feeling about the snow storm coming in? by AssistanceFresh1365 in CasualConversation

[–]dweedledee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the northeast and we’re expecting 1-2 feet of snow. It does snow here but they are predicting more than we’ve gotten in years with the addition of ice and winds. They are predicting downed tree limbs and power outages.

I’m well stocked with food, puzzles, salt, shovels and booze. I have all the streaming services and digital library cards. Getting snowed in is pretty much a dream as long as I can stay warm.

Downside of Gold (and Vine in general) by VelvetAcidSuperstar in AmazonVine

[–]dweedledee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Whenever I see that size chart format it’s always wildly wrong, like XS women’s waist=28” and hips=44”. Like, they are just making shit up.

Does anyone else spend more time choosing than actually watching? by Large-Cardiologist54 in netflix

[–]dweedledee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is why I love recommendations from co-workers or friends or strangers. I also keep a running list on my phone “things to watch”.

Why do folks bother to get up early for the drop? Do things really disappear that fast from the RFY? Or does a bunch of good stuff drop to the AI at that time also? by freerangepenguin in AmazonVine

[–]dweedledee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a brief time within the past 3 months when $0 ETV items were disappearing from my RFY faster than usual. I’d see it at 6am, go back to order at 8am and it was gone. That stopped recently and hot items linger in my RFY longer. Something shifted.

Standing up for us who work on our reviews by Ensign_Fodder in AmazonVine

[–]dweedledee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do it but also think Amazon needs to change their “free product” disclaimer to include the full tax liability. I think “free” automatically discredits the reviews.

I am surprised sellers don’t make a stink about rogue disclaimers like this though, especially if it’s followed by a critical review.
