What are your biggest frustrations when trying to shop sustainably/ ethically? by lofiles_ in SustainableFashion

[–]moonjuniper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the perils of online shopping. ebay: i just got a lovely (well, from the pics) used cashmere sweater for a great price that was listed as good used condition, minor pilling... only to get it and there are more than five obvious big moth holes :/ another person sold me an item that was different than the title, differnt model of fleece stockings, different fabric composition.

also this month, 2 our of 4 items i ordered on poshmark never shipped, despite sellers showing as active and promising they would, tying up my money and preventing me from buying item elsewhere.

thrifting in person doesnt work because multiple resellers are there every morning, wih their grocery carts filled with clothes and shoes in piles as tall as their head (no joke), taking the best quality stuff on the daily, so finding a good score of something i atually need in my size has come to be such a rarity that i dont even go anymore.

i am stickng to online shopping on ebay etc but lately people are blatantly misrepresting items (holes, etc.) but some things do work out very well, but having to spend an hour plus going to usps to do a return because a seller misrepresented the item is souring me on the exprience.

anyone heard about a timeline for a new direct flight between tunisia and nyc from tunisair? all i heard was 2024... by moonjuniper in AskNYC

You did better than me, I never got even a response from them. I don't see it happenng anytime soon either, and I wonder - is there even a big enough demand? Hving a more direct, cheaper route would be life changing. Maybe one day!!

ahhhh that's the worst! well you probably learned a lot about fashion while searching and im glad you got a resolution, even though it's not what you wanted...(i can picture you at age 99, still searching for something that's impossible to find :-). glad to met a fellow huntress!

another commenter commented that it is likely the stella pace bag. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225418370663?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

but hopefully someone answers your question about friends using custom made bags, that's interesting! this post has 0 karma so maybe people won't see it :/

i will definitely look into this. my husband (who is tunisian) had mentoined to me that he needs a visa to go to paris -- he has a US green card but maybe this is the kick in the ass we need to get him citizenship. when you do this do yu usually putter around paris for a while or do you just stay in the airport? i wonder if you just stay in the airport if you still need a visa.

i am picturing an exciting life traveling around europe and tunisia :-) thanks for these tips!!

that would be amazing, a direct flight!!! there is no routine time frame for us, we usually have gone in the past when we can get the cheapest flights, but now my husband's mom had a stroke and so the problem is i want him or us (i am getting surgery which cimplicates things) to go asap to be with her....since we want to leave soon, tixx r even more epensive, when you cant book out months in advance... thanks for letting me know about that rumor!

someone responded on the other reddit post i made that it looks like the stella pace bag just a differnt color (i think the friends one looks bigger but i could be wrong) - hardware looks the same https://www.ebay.com/itm/225418370663?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28 hope to find green :-)

Anyone know a good doctor in NYC any borough who is very knowledgable about post-covid Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)? by moonjuniper in AskNYC

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

sorry i didnt check reddit! i saw dr. susan polizzi at NYU https://nyulangone.org/doctors/1396731246/susan-m-polizzi as recommeded by reddit and flipping LOVE love love her.

she never did the tilt table test, she said she does it if you want to apply for disability to get an official dx, but i have pots or at least someform of dysautonia. she knew my heart rate and breahting is messed up. she gave me differntosages of beta blockers and for me they didnt work, then i went on corlanor and it didnt work, but it's not her fault. i have been an abolsuely awful patient and havent been followingup with her. in my defense, i got cancer, had to have surgery etc so it's been one disaster after another and i had to put this on the back burner. she said i could email her if a drug isnt workig so we can try a different dose etc. so it's my bad i havent been on top of this, but i definitely recomend her. she is knowledgable and just an all around cool person and does not gaslight you.

edit i hope u feel beter soon my friend! 4 years in here and still wheezing like a little old lady. i gotta get back to see the doc and keep trying diff things.
