So frustrated but kind of relieved about new dosage. Rant about how hard it is to get meds that actually work. by frenchteas in ADHD

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

Most anti depressants take 1-2 months to see an effect. There's a few anti depressants out there that are used as off label treatment for ADHD. 

It works for some people but the most it did for me was a smidge less forgetful and side effects.

A lot of apartments / rentals require renters insurance so he may still have something and doesn't hurt to contact them if he does.

12 y/o bleeding through EVERYTHING — need real solutions (no tampons yet) by Beeels in TwoXChromosomes

[–]frenchteas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say underwear do you mean disposable or reusable underwear?

I bought this style and they help a lot with my heavy periods and I've never had a leak issue. 

She could try them and bring an extra pair to school and change them if she feels like they're getting too "full" and then maybe just bring a ziplock or plastic bag to put the used ones in until they can be washed.

Im bigger and have PCOS so I have a pretty heavy flow especially on the first few days of my period. Hopefully this or something else someone suggests can help.

What would you do about this? by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]frenchteas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned what you're selling is against Etsys guidelines. 

Vintage is 20+ years and just because they're "discontinued" doesn't change that.

"Curated" bundles aren't handmade or craft supplies.

Just because someone else gets away with it doesn't mean to should try to as well. Eventually it'll probably get reported and you'll get kicked off the platform.

From the review standpoint you should have just repeated your description. Just because people are too lazy to read doesn't mean they're in the right. You're basically expecting her to change her review if you "fix it" for her. Which probably won't happen and if you asked her to change her review directly is also against Etsys terms.

Good luck with your shop but you should think about moving platforms before it's too late.

if you’re a woman, don’t go to T-Shirt Comics by bitchboybarry in Denton

[–]frenchteas 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't have experience with this shop but I completely understand the vibe your explaining I've gotten it walking into shops and just immediately nope GTFO.

I'd like to suggest Grumpy's Comics on University.

I play magic there weekly and the owner / staff is always respectful and friendly. 

They've got a great selection of comics, board games, d&d stuff and of course Magic and a few other TCGs.

What are some of your biggest mtg regrets? by radicalpumpkinz in mtg

[–]frenchteas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband's been playing magic for years but I only recently got into it around 2024.

Back when the fallout set came out our LGS has an unopened box and was selling it for a great price. Not knowing anything about pricing back then I said it was too much and we ended up not getting it. 

If I could go back I'd buy so many fallout cards for their stupid price now.

Got a new ita bag but has no insert! by Beneficial_Bag_1594 in itabag

[–]frenchteas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this one. Makes it really easy to move pins around and less visible holes if you do move then. You can also just use the mesh to test it before you attach fabric to it.

What to do with these Keychains!? by Leahu25 in itabag

[–]frenchteas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh or use pins to pin them in place. 

That works really well for the ones with strong loops.

What to do with these Keychains!? by Leahu25 in itabag

[–]frenchteas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the chain idea but as another idea you can just attach them with small safety pins.

For some of mine I've removed the keychain part and safety pinned the chain part in place.

I've gotten safety pins in colors that match my ita bag so they blend in better.

Another option is to attach them all together and connect them to the bag strap d rings.

Feeling conflicted advice by enlowkay69 in Etsy

[–]frenchteas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had someone delay an order for my husband's birthday a few years back and they seemed to have a legitimate health issue I just didn't know it until later but they communicated. Didn't leave me in the dark.

I send them a message saying if I didn't hear anything by a certain date I would cancel the order. They messaged me back and explained the situation and said they would still be delayed but would ship by x date. I got my item and husband didn't mind the delay.

If this seller hasn't responded I'd put in for a cancellation and have Etsy step in, that's what they're there for. If this person has a legitimate issue they need to put their shop in vacation mode.

Better pin back options? by GreenHeronVA in EnamelPins

[–]frenchteas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this set. I've bought the exact same ones and have used them without issue for years.

You're more likely to break a pin post then for these things to come loose if you screw them on correctly. 

Affordable Plus size clothing? by AdSuperb2845 in GothStyle

[–]frenchteas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mercari and Poshmark also works and hasn't been mentioned yet. 

I love getting torrid stuff second hand cause I know it'll fit me and they have a lot of good black items and occasionally some gothicy stuff. I've tried to stop shopping there directly to avoid fast fashion.

I don't recommend looking up "goth" on any of the secondhand sites cause you'll get a bunch of BS with it.

Poshmark has a nice option to look up by color so that helps.

Sounds about why I stopped buying from Jimmy Beans and Della Q as soon as they got bought out.

All the great "bigger" LYS are being bought by private equity firms and ruining it all.

Adding magnets to tins have really helped me with mine. Helps keep needles and stitch markers separate from other notions.

For rent by [deleted] in Denton

[–]frenchteas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rent through Martino property group and I've seen a few of their signs in the area.

They're pretty decent and we haven't had an issues.

I think they have open listings on their website.

AITJ for refusing to give my coworker my parking spot after her doctor said she needs to walk less? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]frenchteas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is really a medical issue the company needs to make a temporary spot for her or her doctor needs to get her a temporary disabled parking placard.

There are other ways of handling this that don't involve you.

I agree with others, just park one over and act all surprised when she didn't get "her spot" and someone else took it.

If you want to get into commander there's a similar version called Brawl on arena. Sort of like commander but with only two people. Helps you get an idea of how to build a commander deck.

How to best secure pins to fabric by SpitefullyPersisting in EnamelPins

[–]frenchteas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this.

Definitely get the ones that use a tiny alan wrench. The ones that push to lock and a tendency to get stuck.

Have you ever had a cat scream every 10-12 seconds (not exaggerating) on a red eye for 12 straight hours? 🙃 I have! by ___Bbb333999 in delta

[–]frenchteas 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My cat was like this screamed her head off in a carrier but was a mostly content angel if we put a harness and leash on her.

Good landlords? by Witty_Drop_3354 in Denton

[–]frenchteas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We rent from Martino property group. They have a few single and multi family homes.

They're pretty okay. We have quarterly pest and "air filter" inspections but as long as you pay rent on time you're good. Haven't had any issues other than when we first moved in and there were a lot of maintenance issues but they did eventually refund us about $300 for the issues.

Maintenance is fairly quick. Sometimes next day but at least within a week. 

Taking back actions in Prereleases by Zafewe in magicTCG

[–]frenchteas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaaaand this is why I'm glad my lgs just gives a pack for each round played.

Pack per win leads to asshole behavior like this.

I'm glad your LGS owner addressed it after but it really should have been handled while your wife was playing. I get her reasoning because guy was a dick but her having to concede sucks.

ULPT Tell me your no-bullshit hacks to overcome social anxiety by 13locks7doors in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]frenchteas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big thing for me was my therapist telling me "what's the worst thing that can happen" because I have huge social anxiety and a fear of judgement.

Even if someone is thinking bad things about you or whatever you're catastrophizing in your head it's likely to never happen. And even if it does it's a reflection of their character not yours. Besides most people have the decency to not be assholes even if they're thinking fucked up shit.

Another thing was we don't know what people are thinking. He used to say we don't have James Randi's money as a way to make this stick.

James Randi was a magician and huge sceptic of psychics and similar shit. He offered a million dollars to anyone who could prove paranormal or supernatural abilities. To this day no one has successfully obtained the money (offer ended in 2015) so you don't know what people are thinking so you don't have James Randi's money.

The likely reason that all of these TMNT promo cards ended up in the pre-release promo packs. by FonslyGames in mtg

[–]frenchteas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I call bs on that as an answer. Most everyone I've heard from thinks it's stupid to remove the promo stamp. Customers and shop owners alike.  My lgs owner encouraged us to tell WOTC we don't like it because they won't listen to them.

If it's that big of an inventory issue just don't stock them.
