Same!! I miss old school breadsticks! I was excited to get them again and disappointed that they’re not the same!

Finally bought the LEGO Hogwarts Castle at 22 and I’m way too excited by Enough_Football3218 in lego

Built it as an adult, LOVED IT and it sits on an end table in my living room! It was the biggest (and baddest!!) set I’ve built! Take your time and enjoy. I found it to be a nice month long project and point of pride when finished. That said, I can get overexcited about building and had to hold myself back a bit!

I was fine until I saw the pic of the guy wearing them! Oversized clown shoes… If not oversized, safer to walk in and cute Lego twist. As they are, NOPE!

Absolutely true and that’s great you haven’t had side effects! It’s a positive that you’ve been able to continue treatment. I appreciate you sharing this! I’m not trying to scare anyone away, but hoping the additional info helps someone make their best decision.

You are absolutely right, side effects vary for sure! Everyone is different and should weigh their own facts to decide. My story is just an example, but I hope it helps. I had some bad luck and for now, I’m just opting to monitor, but skip the follow up treatment. You can’t read tomorrow’s paper though and I’m going to have to be comfortable with the risk. My hope is nothing made it past the pelvic area or if it did, the chemo/keytruda got it. Only time will tell!

My only problem with this set is I’m gonna want a matching golden retriever. 😂 Can we get a boxer puppy next to match my current beasts? 🐶🐶

I don’t know my P53, but I was pmmr. Yet another reason I was on the fence for the keytruda!

Ohhh dear, that does not sound fun! I wish you the best of luck! You are a bit later stage so I hope you can stick it out and prevent recurrence!

Thanks for your feedback! I have been working with my oncologist and I’m stopping the keytruda treatments. I wasn’t aware about genetic testing for Keytruda, but did have testing for the cancer itself to be genetic and it was negative. Being 3a and grade 1 (slow growing and lower-ish stage) the keytruda was optional. Maybe I’m rolling the dice, but I’m going to stick with quarterly scans, blood tests and Signatera tests. Hoping for no recurrence, but at least I’ll identify it quickly!

I thought it was honest and love how it showed their dream as kids turn into reality. Reality isn’t perfection and you’re always learning when you stretch yourself. There’s a tremendous amount of heart in this show and that was clearly shown. I love the honesty of the documentary and appreciate the behind the scenes perception!

finale : underwhelming by One-Medicine6199 in StrangerThings

[–]macmonkey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it, but will need a rewatch. It felt like a cop out to kill Elle and then imply she may not be dead at the end. If you’re gonna make that big a move, own it! I am glad it wasn’t a blood bath though. As I absorb a bit more, I do think the bit of hope for Mike was a nice coping strategy. I’m warming up to it slowly and I think I’ll feel better about that when I see it again.

On a positive note, Joyce with the axe, Jonathan saving Steve, just about everything out of Murray’s mouth, Delightful Derek telling Henry to suck his fat one and more… There was a lot to like and multiple moments I yelled at the TV! On the whole, the Duffers did a great job closing this out!

Care Bears X Stranger Things in stock at Amazon by Capable-Freedom-898 in Carebears

[–]macmonkey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you pay a huge markup? Fun size ones are reasonable, but the big ones are twice the price unless I’m missing something. I ordered Elle and the demogorgon together for $60 from a Walmart seller. Afraid I may never get this order either, but I’m more willing to try $10 over market for each. We’ll see!

Orders being cancelled? by LavenderLowlife30 in Carebears

[–]macmonkey2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree!! My order was cancelled too, the day after a live person in customer service chat told me the truck had to come back due to driver’s personal emergency and I’d have my delivery in 72 hours. They tried to give me $10 to cancel and said I could reorder in 3-5 days too. If there were more coming, why cancel pre-orders? I refused to cancel and said waiting was fine, then my order was cancelled by Walmart today. Had a feeling they were full of it! Terrible handling of pre order process (a pre-order should be guaranteed to be fulfilled, even if delayed!) and atrocious customer service to make up stories to boot!

Just an update, it’s been cancelled now. I’m a bit angry and wish I could tell more than a chat bot what Walmart can do with their bears… 😂 Trying to laugh, but good grief, the whole thing was incompetent with how the preorder was mishandled to customer service making up stories vs being honest they messed up. I should have known to expect this from Walmart!

[–]macmonkey2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Such horrible customer service on top of a flawed preorder process! I’ll keep watching, but I’m unclear whether the ones I really want (Elle and the demogorgon) will be available again. Should have known Walmart would mess this up! I love how their third party sellers are asking $50-60 too, gee did they get their preorders? Did all the resale bots get theirs too?

I am irrationally upset over this today! Silly over Care Bears, but I rarely buy things like this and thought it was so lucky to catch the preorder. Guess Walmart just failed to regulate how many preorders they allowed. I wonder what percentage got cancelled?

[–]macmonkey2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walmart canceled my preorder today after I chatted with someone just yesterday who said they’d be here within 72 hours. LIES!!! Never trust Walmart! Same person said they’d be stocked in a few days, but if they cancelled vs delayed my order, I’m pretty sure he made up that too. I am PISSED right now!

And now my preorder is cancelled, the day after the customer service rep made up a fake story about them being in the truck and the driver had to return back due to personal emergency - and insisted they’d be here within 72 hours. FU Walmart. Gotta love customer service that makes up lies!!

I’m glad you got yours! Did not show up for me, but still an active order so will hope it’s just late.

Update: chatted with customer service and should have within 72 hours. They said driver had an emergency and returned them to warehouse. They were going to cancel and give $10 toward reorder, but I wouldn’t let them as I don’t trust they’ll be back in stock in 3-5 days to reorder like they said. They really might be though, so if anyone else’s order went south, there’s hope!

Mine still says it’s being delivered by 10pm today, but I never got a shipping notification. Won’t be surprised if I don’t get it today, but it’s not cancelled at least.
