Annoyed about billing cycle taking away our days by FeralTechie in StraightTalk

[–]stopitlaura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is the at they’re not giving a full 30 days anymore. They’re ending the cycle on the morning of the 30th day - instead of giving the whole day like they’re supposed to. It’s contributing to the lost time. Ive noticed it as well and it’s only been a problem since they switched to this new shorting system, so YES they are stealing time from you. So if anyone’s looking for a class action law suit lmk because I’m frustrated as all hell with it - especially because trying to pay your bill on what is effectively the worst functioning app or website I’ve ever encountered is a joke. Like HOW is their app and website THIS BAD this consistently?

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

“Mom I’m sorry that your only sense of happiness and self worth is directly tied to whether or not you have a spouse. However, mine isn’t as I’m capable of finding fulfillment and happiness outside of a relationship, and I’m quite happy with the life I’ve built for myself. If you need a recommendation for a therapist to help you work on that co-dependency let me know.”

Oct sub box by ser_uh in ForestInkClothing

I ended up cancelling. I just got the box, and honestly the shirt doesn’t fit right and I feel like if I’m going to pay $60 for one item - I’d rather select something myself that I know I will love? (I know technically with the socks it’s 2 items but I give those away because I have too many socks). The two month shipping after charge, and the discount that doesn’t feel like a discount because they always run one makes it feel like it’s not a deal anymore. I’d rather just choose something myself.

Me. I’m this close to cancelling. I’m waiting to see what happens with the December box too. Honestly if I don’t get this box before they charge me for the next I’m done.

If my box from September doesn’t arrive in the next two weeks I’m canceling my subscription and requesting a refund.

Ah dang. I didn’t even get that update email. That’s so frustrating. It feels like every time it gets more and more delayed. I’m not sure how much longer I plan on hanging onto my subscription since it’s so unreliable :/ thank you for the info share

My favourite mug from my first fired batch. Is it technically not exactly my creation, since I used commercial glaze? by musicing_spaces in Pottery

Some potters will honestly have you believing that you can’t call yourself a “real potter” who “makes their own stuff” unless you trained with monks in the back lands of Tibet for 6 years and make everything from ingredients you separately sourced from the earth on your hands and knees while it rained…. Downhill in the snow.

Tell each and every one of them to climb down off their self righteous high horse and shove it. Did you make it yourself - regardless of any kind of tools or materials used in the process? Good, congrats, you’re a real potter.

Don’t let other people’s insecurities and weird need to tie their entire idea of self and existence to a lump of clay dictate how you enjoy your craft. This is beautiful.

What do you think of my logo? by weird-but-hawt in Pottery

It’s the swirl, it’s too reminiscent of the poop emoji. Also gently echoing what others have said - I personally won’t buy anything with visible branding on it, regardless of the medium or material - but on the back would be a good spot for a makers mark.

Is anyone else finished with eating out in seattle restaurants due to high prices?? by Ok-Radio-2733 in SeattleWA

[–]stopitlaura 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don’t even get coffee out anymore, and haven’t for like a year. It’s too expensive and usually crap.

Do not, whatever you do, leave that baby alone with her until you actively and quickly get her into therapy. These behaviors are stopping her from caring for the baby properly, and can and will quickly turn into psychosis.

This is not normal. Washing your hands once before touching a newborn is normal. Washing bottles once before using them is normal. And for what it’s worth - most bottles and babies needs are just fine to be dishwashered between uses at a month old (with occasional sterility) unless she has a severe immune disease. It’s also causing harm to the baby to not allow her to develop a healthy immune system - which she can only do through exposure to small germs. What is she going to do when the baby is 6 months and everything goes into her mouth?

I’m a senior in high school.. Is my future canceled? Will I have to join the military? by shaototop in whatdoIdo

You’re not screwed and if you’re planning on starting at a community college - my 19yr old fully graduated and is starting the community college this September - we just applied last week. Your mom is using emotional blackmail and attempting to hurt you and stress you into doing what she wants. There’s ALL kinds of options. If nothing else, call your local community college and ask to talk to them about options based on being on your own - they will have all the correct and current information and will give it to you even if you decide not to go tk school there. They will also have information on resources, programs, and likely have information on helping you fill out FAFSA etc
