1 MINUTE MY FOOT - EBAY SUPPORT RANT

So I closed my old account and then the next day though "well I might use it". I stupidly opened a new account with the same address and PayPal and the bots did not like it and they suspended the account. Sigh - I should have seen that coming - my fault.

So I decide to log into the old account as it takes 30 days to close the dang thing for some reason and found out I could phone them and get it reinstated. So the app tells me "1 minute wait time" and I'm like WOOT.

Well after 40 minutes of listening to the world worst music that is played at a volume you can't keep the phone to your ear, I got a person. She got me threw the hoops to get it reactivated.

It was AFTER getting the old one reactivated that I finally got a reply to my email (3 days later) and it said I needed to phone them to get it sorted out. This is for the new one.

I thought to myself "nope" and just ignored it. I am sure there will be more emails later. The thing is, I can't close the freaking thing as I have to phone them to get it "fixed" first. Sigh. I'm not spending another hour of my life on the phone with them.

What I really don't get is I never got an email saying "someone is using your information for a new account". You would think this would fix shit in a simple link to click saying "calm down, it was me". But NOPE. So someone can use your information and you will never know it. This is just grand.

BTW I tried to get them on Twitter and they never replied to me at all - NEVER. So days of having them in my feed 3 or 4 times a day saying "chat with our help staff" always makes me laugh. Not likely your going to even reply to me so, what is with this "chat" stuff?

Oh one last thing - my phone app used to be black when in use like you see in the screenshot. Now it's this hideous color. At least they made the lock screen come on for longer in the last update - the 3 seconds it was on before was not enough. But that's another rant.

I may actually order a PC from the states as you can get them built to order on several of the eBay sellers. I am in need of one and will have the money in October. Some time in the first week I'll have about $300 set aside for it. There are NO $100 deals on reconditioned PC's up here in Canada - they don't exist - so... I will be looking around of course. Walmart is an option as well.

In any event, now if my friend wants more supper hot peppers I can get on eBay and get them - that is literally the only thing I ever ordered from them LOL. I was shocked BTW - the peppers came from the land down under and got here sooner than something ordered from the USA the same day. LOL. But I think they post from the USA is held up by the government because TRUMP. Sigh.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

Gifted (2017) A Review

Image
Gifted (2017)  Is the story of a 7 year old girl and her uncle who is taking care of her. The child is extremely gifted in the field of mathematics. This runs in the family, as her mother was as well, and so was her grandmother. To a lesser extent her uncle was also very intelligent. We pick up the story when the uncle is fixing boats freelance and taking care of the girl in a small rental home in Florida. He has schooled her at home before she goes to school (1st grade) and the teacher realized just how smart she is and how much knowledge of math she actually has. To say the least most people on earth don't have the knowledge of math that this 7 year old has. Enter the grandmother and we find out that the girls mother killed herself and that the uncle blames himself for not seeing the signs before it was too late. The grandmother wants the child to go home with her and to be schooled in math the was she schooled her daughter (the child mom). After a legal battle, the child ends up...
