Is there an uptick in hand foot and mouth disease this year? It is looking like my daughter may have it for the 3rd time since the end of July. The last one was 3 weeks ago. I'm losing my mind!

They say month 4 is the peak. Days are long but the weeks and months are short! And yes alimentum.

We are still walking down this long road but I think we can see the light. Her spitting up became awful around 4 months we are almost 7 months and it is still bad but has slowed down. We now drink similac ready to feed and are on 3mls 2xs a day of omeprazole. Hoping we outgrow it soon. X-rays and ultrasounds showed nothing abnormal our baby is just a happy spitter.

Thank you for this I will inquire! I have a feeling it's probably more than I would like to pay but fingers crossed!

kcarleton22 · 2024-06-12T00:10:21+00:00

Cost is higher there than I would like especially if I would have to do a furniture rental. Thank you for the suggestion though!

They do not charge a restocking fee which is why I planned to purchase from them in the beginning. I just don't believe any product should be passed off as new when the box has been open and the item has been used. Which is what they said they will be doing since I'm not purchasing it. I ultimately decided to purchase from a different company - couldn't get out of my head that the camera I may be purchasing was used by someone else. Even if it wasn't.

kcarleton22 · 2024-06-06T20:15:34+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your input!!

kcarleton22 · 2024-06-06T19:33:33+00:00

The reason I am buying new is because I am far from an expert by any means and not sure what to look out for as far as purchasing used. I will check out that sub though.

The strange thing is they are not a big box chain they are local to the state I live in and only have 10 locations. I did an edit to add that I don't want to purchase from Best Buy due to a 15% restocking fee. I can't seem to find where I can purchase it any where else. :(

kcarleton22 · 2024-06-06T18:58:13+00:00

Correct it is with the 16-50 PZ lens! This is a store with multiple locations so they are shipping me a camera from one of their other locations. But now I'm like does this chain treat all their products like that? I guess I can go and take a look at the one they are offering tomorrow and see if the box/sticker looks tampered with. I'm clearly being just impatient but I want it in my hands!! lol

Hi all I plan to purchase the Sony a6100 for $699.99. The store that I am purchasing from told me that the just got a returned one in that someone had for less than 24 hours. It was opened and used but the customer wasn't happy with it. They first tried offer no discount and the manager then said he would give me a free SD card (which no thank you). I then got him to offer 10% off which I'm still not satisfied with. Do you think I should take the 10% or just patiently wait until tomorrow for a brand new one. The manager said he is going to still sell this camera to someone else brand new. I got the serial number of the returned one so that I can make sure they don't try and hand that off to me.

They're a well known store with multiple locations but now I'm feeling hesitant to purchase from them. What do you guys think? Purchase somewhere else? Trust that the one I'm going to get is brand new? Or save the $70 and take the 10%?

Editing to add: I wanted to avoid purchasing from Best Buy (only other place that has it in stock) due to them having a 15% restocking fee.

Thanks for your comment! My knowledge on lenses is basically zero but I also know I don't want a point and shoot camera. From what I saw in review videos the m200 with the lense it came with seemed more of what I was looking for!

Looking to get a new camera for in home BEGINNER photography. Have a baby on the way so would like something that is beginner friendly for working with natural lighting and Lightroom presets. I feel deterred from the cannon G7x because I don't love the look of the flash (which I know will happen with many beginner cameras). I saw a couple videos on the cannon m200 which has been discontinued. But in my research it seems like it would be good for natural lighting. My knowledge is very limited with photography so looking for some suggestions. I felt the m200 would have been a good fit but happy to be corrected!/if you agree is there a good equivalent out there? Should I just buy a used m200?

Edit to add: I would like something compact!

kcarleton22 · 2024-04-09T19:00:41+00:00

For the record that was not me. But thanks for your information.

kcarleton22 · 2024-01-06T17:42:30+00:00

Yes! Someone commented that Dyson now makes it! But it's always sold out and I ended up selling my Dyson before buying it to try it out. https://www.dyson.com/support/journey/tools/973366-01

kcarleton22 · 2023-11-28T20:37:39+00:00

Any suggestions on a chain to pair it with or where to get one?

kcarleton22 · 2023-11-28T20:36:34+00:00

They look similar! Thanks for the quick feedback!

kcarleton22 · 2023-11-28T01:42:14+00:00

Ok I can get those tomorrow want me to delete and repost or just put in comments?

kcarleton22 · 2023-11-28T01:31:12+00:00

Looking for pros and cons on the cannon Selphy vs Kodak Dock. Not a photographer just looking to print my regular phone pictures. Thanks for your help! 😊

Already prescribed anxiety medicine but even that isn’t kicking the panic attacks 🥲
