  1. Right. But it's still not inconceivable that some one can make a profit. Again, everyone, I an NOT expressing an opinion on these sites here (I mean, I use them, they're fine, whatever). I object to the dumb use of "signs" in the commercial, that's all.
  2. Even though it’s my job to be upset by all of the grammar errors, I don’t really care that much outside of work and I also fully accept some as just part of language evolution and as colloquialisms. But “less” where “fewer” should be is painful, especially in advertising.
  3. I mean, that's fine -- it's certainly not the only grammar/usage issue in commercials, as we all know. But it still isn't a correct statement, which was what annoyed me. People earn dollars, not signs.
  4. Well, it's the same as any resale operation, garage sale, or secondhand/vintage store; a seller makes money in the sense that it's money that they wouldn't have if they hadn't sold the stuff. And there's obviously no way to determine whether someone may end up with more money than they started out with; it clearly depends on what people sell, how much they sell, and how much they sell it for (like any other kind business). So, people definitely could make money in that way as well. I am not sure why this is becoming so confusing, as it's no different than Ebay, but my only issue was that the commercial said "dollar signs."
  5. But it makes no sense to say that your stuff will earn you "dollar signs." It earns dollars. It's for anything, not only high-end stuff, so it doesn't really matter what's in your closet, and you don't send it to Poshmark; you just send it to the person who buys it -- same as Ebay.
  6. Poshmark commercial is telling me that my stuff is just "dollar signs to be made." Well, thanks, but I'd rather have the actual dollars.
  7. I think it’s OK for you to clear out what you don’t want — and I say that as kind of a hypocrite who also has trouble with this kind of thing. But if you’re keeping it out of some sense of obligation, it kind of cancels out the good part of having it! And you have the memory of your mom whether or not you have the china. Could you pick out a piece or two that you might actually use and donate the rest?
  8. I agree. Whenever I think of it when I’m making food, I will use a vintage Pyrex bowl or my green lemon-grinder thing (I’m sorry; I am completely forgetting what it’s called!) or my very-favorite-since-I-was-little Flame Chef cobalt blue casserole dish (it’s not the one that actually belonged to my mom, but it’s the same; I scoured the earth for it after neither parent had any idea where it got to over the years). I also move my coffee from its can into a mason-type jar and I scoop it with my lovely metal scoop. Using something special for an everyday event is such a simple way to make myself happy — and feel less silly for having a lot of technically unneeded stuff. ETA: Jadeite lemon juicer! That’s what I meant!
  9. I know this says more about me and whatever my inexplicable issues are than it says about anyone else involved, but I just can't stand when someone comments just "yummy" under a photo of food. I hate the word "yummy" anyway, but somehow the lack of enthusiasm evidenced by the lack of punctuation and/or capitals really makes it so much worse -- if you just HAVE TO say "yummy," at least be excited about your friend's pizza or tacos! Speaking of friends, my friend finds this super-specific peeve amusing. I'm sorry if I have mentioned this at some point over the years -- I'm sure I have.
  10. I dislike all of the Red Bull commercials, but the one I just saw annoyed me more than usual — it’s a guy disarming a bomb. A voice (through a headset? A phone? I don’t know) tells him it’s “usually always the blue wire.” “Usually always”?
  11. Makes sense; overcompensation is another characteristic common to low self esteem.
  12. It may have come “out of nowhere” for her too. People don’t always know they have it (I didn’t); it has to be diagnosed — and in order to be diagnosed, one has to be seeing a doctor already. If someone doesn’t think there’s anything weird happening or if it’s not really interfering with their life, they may not think there’s anything even to tell a doctor. And, like I already mentioned, OCD symptoms become more pronounced in women as they age and with hormonal changes. So it would make sense that Scheana’s symptoms (obsessions and/or compulsions, and intrusive thoughts, which she specifically mentioned) appeared or increased after she had a baby. Or, if she knew and was keeping it to herself (as she had every right to do), maybe being a a parent is what prompted her to seek treatment. An interesting thing about OCD is that an awful lot of people who don’t have it seem to believe they know all about it. I’ve watched the show since the beginning too, but it goes without saying that I don’t know without a doubt what these people’s day-to-day lives have been for 10 years; we see only a tiny fraction, during which they all know that cameras are on them.
  13. I am happy to say that I don't keep track of these things. Regardless, the other examples of fakeness don't prove anything to me (and again, it's not uncommon for exhibitionism to be a characteristic of low self esteem). Everyone on the show could be full of shit for all I know; I'm just saying that some of the examples don't prove it.
  14. TY. I couldn't recall if she said Paxil, Xanax, Lexapro or whatever else there is out there...
  15. Maybe. But she said she's taking something and isn't drinking while doing so. Like I said, I don't know. But as someone with the same issue, I don't think the way she described it was suspect. It can be a storyline and still be real. I guess I am not seeing what is not believable based on what she's said. I only watch a couple of HW shows; are more than Kyle abstaining?
  16. Oh dear god, please let's hope not. All of this is new to me, man -- and I do not like it.
  17. I'm sure they overlap, but I believe they're not the same; there are still goth nights. At least where I am. It's glorious! I think it's public domain? Seems like Tom Sandoval starts out conversations with the others in a somewhat apologetic way, but then, when no one says "that's OK" or apologizes back, he gets all mad again and adds caveats that just exasperate everyone. Just take the "win" that they're letting you talk! And I know the house belongs to both of them, and it's sort of nebulous as to who pays what, but if there's any way he can, he should just take the loss and go. If the pressure and stress of all of this is weighing on him so hard, maybe he can help himself to feel a bit better by getting that part of it out of the way. I mean, I'd be mad if I had to leave a place I really dug, but after a few weeks in a new place, maybe it would just feel like some of the weight is lifted. And Tom Schwartz -- if everyone is being mean to him anyway, then just go be other Tom's friend then. Who cares?
  18. I do not disagree! It was just sourness at Kristen!
  19. I think, if anything, those quotes prove only hyperbole, drama, and/or mind-changing. Is everyone here the exact same way they were in previous years? I'm not and I'm also not a "faker" (for instance, I used to not feel disgusted at the idea of giving birth. Then one day, for whatever reason, I did and [happily] remained that way for the rest-of my child-bearing years. Another example, I used to eat meat and now I don't). As for the vulva business and the like, it's not uncommon for exhibitionism to be a characteristic of low self esteem (though twerking at a party of her friends doesn't, to me, reveal hypocrisy). Or maybe some kind of therapy helped her change her attitude -- not that I think getting one's junk waxed on TV is some kind of triumph, but whatever, people change.
  20. The new gummy bear one is definitely less enraging than the one with the businesspeople. I don't know why.
  21. OK, COVID negative but now random fever out of the blue. Which is odd (I think?) because I’m already on antibiotics for the next few days for a dermatitis issue (also random) and because I never even have as high as 98.6! I’ll just throw on here for good measure that my doctor is still trying to get my thyroid meds just right (that was also out of the blue with no symptoms). I’M FUN! And screw 2024 so far! Bah!
  22. Yeah, in the end, it's just easier to get a confirmation or I'll wonder all day. ETA: Negative. Damn you, sauerkraut, haha!
  23. This goes without saying, I'm sure, but COVID is my peeve today -- or at least the uncertainty that has come about because of it. Yesterday, I was sneezy and kind of congested, and today I am really tired. Well, the former could be many things, including that it's not at all unusual for me and that I ate some sauerkraut.* The latter may be a result of the former because I didn't sleep well. I suppose I'll take a test, but every time I've done that in the last 4 years due to feeling "off," it's been negative and then I feel dumb! (The only time I was positive, I felt fine and had no symptoms at all because I am a some kind of backwards human being.) *Apparently, fermented foods can trigger histamine responses in some people!
