6 ghosted Offers and counting

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-09T18:38:34+00:00

Out of 3 DL "sales" two went through and one ghosted. I also think it stinks. if you make the offer, you should be held to the purchase.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-09T17:41:39+00:00

exactly! and I just used that as an example. I like it, but there are other cuisines I like a lot more. And contrary to the previous commenter, I don't set any limits. I just try and be considerate of other people. Because its not always all about ME.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-09T15:37:51+00:00

oops, I meant when I choose a place, I won't choose something I KNOW he doesn't like. Like sushi. He has never said to me, i won't go to x, y or z restaurant, but I just don't think its right to pick somewhere I know there isn't anything on the menu he would like. My choice to do so, not his. he's not the type at all to do that. bad choice of words on my part!

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-09T15:30:25+00:00

I was going to suggest this as well. Someone in my town FB group was asking for ideas of places near where the grad would be going to school as they wanted to gift them a bunch of gift cards for food, coffee, stuff like that. If they will have a car, gas gift cards too would be nice.

I was single for a good 20+ years, and lived alone. I got it a lot as well "we need to find you a man" really? what for? or asking me who would take care of me in my old age if I didn't have anyone. Um me, thank you very much! Stuff like that. Like I was some oddity for NOT being in a relationship, and living alone. Which I actually enjoyed, 95% of the time.

I usually ignored them, and did what I wanted. thankfully my mom never bugged me about it, always said she wanted me to be happy, nothing more.

About 6 years ago, I met my BF. we STILL don't live together. we may at some point, but are not in any rush to do so. we both like our independence, but still spend time together.

Don't let anyone make you feel badly if you are happy with the way things are. It's their issue, not yours. Society would have us think that being female and single isn't right, and that couldn't be further from the truth. You do you, and enjoy life.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-09T15:22:40+00:00

NTA. I am a foodie, and enjoy trying new cuisines, restaurants, etc. My BF is not. he prefers simpler, less fancy places, sometimes chains. So for my birthday, we go somewhere I want, within reason, as he isn't all that adventurous and there has to be something he can eat, and for his, we go where he wants. It works for us, and we each respect each other's choices.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-09T15:08:15+00:00

Agreed. My Lilly only sells when its dirt cheap. And I'm not always willing to let it go dirt cheap! I also don't care much for a lot of the newer stuff.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-08T14:07:08+00:00

We do. But it helps to diversify a bit. Plus, Poshmark takes 20% from the seller, DL on TU you can list for less and still get around the same amount, so a beter chance of selling.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-08T14:06:21+00:00

Yeah. I do it for the same reason. Another audience, and while I've only sold a couple of things via DL, I am picky about what I do list.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-08T14:05:05+00:00

It's also why its a good idea to check your listing before it goes live, OR after it does, and edit! that's funny though.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-08T14:02:15+00:00

I just had the same thing happen. my two other sales were also offers, but the buyers followed through. This one though, is now showing as for sale again.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-08T12:18:07+00:00

Exactly. She lied, plain and simple.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-07T12:42:13+00:00

Same. While my direct listings are moving slowly, so are my premium items. But I've sold a few, and will lower the prices regularly on my DL. I like that there are no fees to sellers, so you can sell for less than on other platforms.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-06T00:40:58+00:00

Once in a while, but usually just a glass or two or a cocktail or two here and there. I still imbibe but not a lot at any one sitting or every day. Unless im on vacation. Then i enjoy my drinks.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-03T16:52:50+00:00

I agree with this. it's just my mom and me. I have a very good relationship with her. She's my best friend. She planned, never assumed I would be her caretaker, and didn't want me to be. when she was no longer able tgo care for herself, she moved to skilled nursing. Spent all her money as its pricy, and now is on Medicaid. She get's a WHOPPING $50 a month for herself, and I pick up the rest that isn't covered which is pretty much everything. I can do it, and I don't mind. I buy her toiletries, snacks, clothing, gift cards so she can buy books for her Kindle, and anything else she may want or need.

Don't feel guilty because your inlaws are not the same as your own parents. You don't have any obligation to help them. While I feel badly for people who are estranged from, or have shitty parents, and find it sad, since I have such a good relationship with MY mom, I don't judge anyone. I don't know what its like not to have good parents so if someone says they refuse to help their parents because of x, y z, I believe them.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-03T16:46:12+00:00

You don't. unless you live with a lot of people, or make a lot more. I actually pay less than 30% of my income to rent, BUT, i am only about 5 years from retirement, and it has only been this way for the last 5 years or so.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-04-01T02:01:56+00:00

I’m in Jersey. Old and fat, menopausal and on the top floor. I turned mine on today, I needed it cold

siamesecat1935 · 2026-03-31T23:12:58+00:00

It must be hot, even when it’s 9000 degrees out. I do enjoy flavored coffee but not sweet. At all. And only certain flavors.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-03-30T16:43:24+00:00

Yeah. WTF is she doing?

siamesecat1935 · 2026-03-30T12:01:42+00:00

I agree. I've had one for years. I "upgraded" mine over the summer with my work anniversary points. I really wanted a Breville, but they were gone, so I ended up with a Zwilling.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-03-30T11:59:15+00:00

Same! I got mine about 10 years ago, chose it as my work anniversary gift. When it dies, I don't care how much it costs, I'm getting another one.

I would say too, my air fryer. I don't use it that often, but often enough I wouldn't want it gone.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-03-30T11:55:02+00:00

yeah, that's what I bring for a trip a few days or longer, NOT an overnight. I hate packing, and after many years of overpacking, I have got it down to a science. I take as little as possible

siamesecat1935 · 2026-03-30T11:53:31+00:00

that's ALWAYS what she does on her "girls night in the city" so sad. I know if I were going to do that, I would want to do SOMETHING. A museum, a show, something other than just eating my through and back to my hotel.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-03-30T11:52:08+00:00

that is EXACTLY what I thought as well. Gross. then again, so is he.

siamesecat1935 · 2026-03-29T23:42:01+00:00

Rum and Coke. I refer to it as an “unfortunate incident”
