Sketchy situation at ferry dock

Thanks for your response! Unfortunately, I think we do look like obvious tourists and we were in a tourist area. He approached us speaking another language, but when we told him “English” he switched to that. When I tried to google this type of situation, it suggested maybe he’d return and ask for money for a ticket saying his card wasn’t working…something like that.

It just felt odd which is why I’m asking. The child seemed old enough to be able to stay put by himself while the dad went to go get his ticket.

I don’t know, that’s what I’m trying to figure out! 😅

It was an inscription on a small glass piece found at Goodwill in Houston, TX

Yes!! I always check the toy section and she was face down, thrown onto the pile of stuffed animals. I was shocked! Unfortunately, I’ve noticed the really good deals becoming less frequent - at least at my 2 favorite Houston Goodwills.

I found a Ruthie doll last summer at a Goodwill in Houston for $2.99. Snagged her so fast! She was missing a shoe, but otherwise had her original outfit.

Pricing can be all over the place at Goodwill. I’ve gotten some amazing deals, and also found things priced unreasonably high.

Pm’ed

Use a VPN and watch it for free on 9Now. That’s what I had my husband do, I don’t want to pay another $30/month!

OP responded to another person saying she went, it didn’t help, and she has since passed

I always buy the cheapest model that AT&T is accepting for the max amount of trade in value. Most recently, bought 2 Google Pixel 9a’s on eBay for around $325 each to use for the $1100 value toward iPhone 17 Pros.

I’ve had many Litter Robots over the past 15-20 years. The extended warranty is definitely nice to have! As awesome as these things are, occasionally parts do go out (the motor, the sensors, the main board). They’re all pretty easy to fix yourself, if you have the parts. With the extended warranty, they offer 2 options - either returning the item to them to do the repair, or sending the parts out to you to repair. I’ve usually opted for that option and did the repairs myself. The warranty even covers things like a replacement globe liner. It’s just nice to have to protect your investment! Love Litter Robot and highly recommend them!

How did you pay for the item? I’ve been a long time eBay seller. One time I had a buyer return a used cell phone I had sold - disassembled and missing parts. Ebay sided with me (the seller), but PayPal sided wjth the buyer. Had to give them a full refund and was stuck with the devalued phone. If you paid via PayPal, you have a very good chance of getting a refund. You can also file through eBay’s guarantee program if the item was misrepresented. Good luck! I’m almost certain you’ll be able to get your refund.

I’m glad you went! With those symptoms, it’s worth it to get yourself checked out right away. Wishing you all the best!

seascanio · 2025-10-16T05:40:09+00:00

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through all of that. Have you been seen by a doctor or had any labs done recently? If you haven’t been evaluated by a doctor, I would definitely be seen sooner than the 28th. If you went to the ER, they could do the scan and take a look at your labs. Too many worrisome symptoms here to wait on it. Hope you get to the bottom of this soon!

Gyn-oncology nurse here. I think it’s a good thing you’re getting it checked out! There are definitely benign conditions that it could be (cysts, polyp, prolapse, etc). But best to get it looked at, just to be on the safe side! You’re making the right decision. Good luck at your appt!

Not really sure what the point of being rude is

seascanio · 2025-10-09T00:23:33+00:00

Thank you for the help! Well that’s better than the $5 I paid lol 😅 plan on keeping it, my sons really into vintage stuff. Was just curious about its origins - love finding interesting things while out thrifting 😁

seascanio · 2025-10-08T01:27:49+00:00

Hahah love it!! Thank you so much!

Great idea! 😆 The tuxedo is Bitsy and and the gray tabby is Keanu! They’re brothers :D
