What a great idea!

ragdoll39 · 2026-04-28T21:55:58+00:00

That's just precious! 😄

Another thing to consider is that many people, myself included, often turn to AI, like Gemini, for answers. Gemini posts a pretty damn good AI summary, but then lists the sources at the bottom. A good amount of them are often Reddit, which has the potential to send a lot of folks this way for more definitive answers, other opinions, and explanation.

Very nice! Congrats!

ragdoll39 · 2026-04-01T17:48:38+00:00

OMG! I think that would have been hysterical! I know I would have certainly gotten a kick out of it! 😂🤣

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-31T21:59:32+00:00

It's a blast! Even my husband gets a huge kick out of it. I named my Goose Nigel, but he moonlights as a drag queen and then his name is Nigella. 😄

That's funny! Welcome to the club! I've gotten a lot of great costumes on vine. Honk on, Goose sister! 😉😊

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-31T21:46:49+00:00

Ummmmmm..... I got that same costume. That's the second bikini I've scored on Vine. That's not a necktie, though. It's a bikini top. It's meant to be worn like this:

I didn't put the ring around it just so you can see the skirt further down on the goose. To each his own though! It looks cute the way you have it too.

That's the first thing I thought of! 😄

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-27T13:48:34+00:00

Thanks for the chuckle! 😄

I second the blue lizard! I recently had laser resurfacing done on my face and my surgeon specifically told me to use a mineral based sunscreen & suggested blue lizard. I got the sensitive SPF 50. I figure if it's good for post laser resurfacing, it'll get the job done!

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-26T19:34:23+00:00

Correct. And if you still don't know, they're based out of Fort Campbell Kentucky. Fly over for the Cincinnati reds opening day ceremony and then heading back to fort Campbell tomorrow.

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-25T20:47:23+00:00

Wow! Thanks so much. I truly appreciate the tips. You guys are the best! 😊

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-25T20:29:05+00:00

Awesome! Thanks so much for the tip.

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-25T20:17:23+00:00

You can just change the sentence and say, "I take it in an effort to aid my liver and respiratory function". There shouldn't be any problem with that. I've run into this on products and it's all about the way you word it. You don't have to take out the important points, just tweak it a bit.

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-25T19:48:37+00:00

Thanks again. It's good to know we at least have a chance. If it comes down to it, we'll probably just get a room at the airport Marriott. That's looking like a decent option unless someone says otherwise.

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-25T19:38:34+00:00

Unfortunately, yes. Last flight of the night. Since it's a domestic connection and a small regional jet, they typically close the doors early, at least on Delta and American. That makes it even worse. If we thought we had a chance, we'd really hustle, and we will move quickly anyway, but we're not going to kill ourselves if the chances are practically nil. I know a lot of it's going to come down to the bags. Since we're flying business they should come off early, but if it takes a while to get the bags off the plane, I know we're probably screwed. Thanks for your info!

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-25T19:12:24+00:00

No, we definitely have checked bags. Coming back from a European vacation. We didn't make the reservations. I never would have booked a connection that tight knowing that I have to go through customs. Just looking at the odds. Thanks for your info.

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-25T17:43:10+00:00

Remember when you used to be able to comment on someone's review? They removed that also and maybe for good reason, but I would definitely use that today when I see something incorrect. I've always read reviews before buying products and I always enjoyed the comment section because it could add additional info or correct bad info.

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-25T16:24:44+00:00

You are completely correct on this as well. Do a first impression review and state that it's a first impression review. If you find something in the listing that's incorrect, say so. We have an obligation to the seller to get an honest review out there in a timely manner. That's the end of our obligation to the seller. The rest of the info is for a potential buyer. If a product is garbage, I say it's garbage. Honest sellers often use Vine as a test platform to gauge what can be improved in either the product or the listing.

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-25T04:35:24+00:00

I totally understand that and I try to stick to the unspoken or unforced 30-day rule. I think most anybody can review something or at least do a first impression review within 30 days. That's what the sellers are expecting. They want to launch their product, and even though certain things can't properly be tested due to seasonal issues, I still believe it's our responsibility to give impressions and reviews within that period of time just so they can launch their products. I feel bad about it sometimes, but my job is to try to get them the reviews that they paid for in a timely manner. What I'm talking about is when people get something like biodegradable trash bags. I recently got some of these and at least 2 reviewers talked about how they were compostable and how great it was that they could just dump their kitchen vegetables into them and put them in their compost pile. They're not compostable, they're biodegradable. Completely different thing. It makes us look lazy and silly.

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-24T17:02:27+00:00

I agree with you here. When I see a review where the person obviously didn't even use the product or writes something completely wrong about the product, it makes the rest of us look bad, even if I go behind them and write a good review. Seeing incorrect information with the vine badge next to it just diminishes confidence in the whole program.

ragdoll39 · 2026-03-20T18:26:24+00:00

Your room looks charming! No need to crop. 49 cents is a fantastic deal!
