I’m not really a newbie, but I was sure which flair to use. I’ve tried on many corsets over the years (own three) and many of them cause a bruised like pain on the bottom of my sternum (xiphoid process area) during wear due to the busks pressing along the front. It’s usually a 50/50 chance of it happening when I wear them, but I’m wondering if this happens with anyone else as well. I’ve tried on different sizes, models, and brands as well and it’s pretty much the same. I think it might be a postural issue (in terms of breathing correctly/ribcage positioning/muscle strength), but I am curious to know if anyone else has had this issue as well as corsets aren’t really supposed to hurt

LOLLLL does Depop think they’re slick with this new update? Has anyone else’s shipping been reduced to $1.99 with crazy high taxes? Just got back from my vacation, so not sure if this is permanent or not. My previous taxes were always only a couple dollars even for $100 items

Got bit by fleas last night and they’re progressively getting worse. There are no fleas on/around me or infestation or anything, so no more additional bites, but I am suffering from this unbearable itchiness. My torso is covered along with my arms and legs. I went to a doctor today and got a prescription of Bilastine and a topical gel I can’t remember the name of, but I am still suffering. They look awful as well. Not sure why they’re swelling when I’m not even touching them (promise!)

Please lmk of any remedies you guys might have or things I can take/do to provide relief. The antihistamine and cream isn’t really helping (plus antihistamine pills are usually once a day). I think I can also go to another doctor again, but not even sure what they can do😅

Update: I went to the ER and they gave me a shot and an iv bag which helped for a couple hours, but I’m still getting worse :’)

Scheduled a 2hr uber ride, driver shows up and claims that we cancelled it, but it’s saying it’s not on our end. He said it cancelled three times ? Which we didn’t, but we did do one time change (arrive 30 mins later than original time). We don’t have enough time to find another driver, so we had to accept it, but when we offered to pay same amount on uber, he said it was too low🤨 then we added $30 more dollars and he said deal for paying 50%, 50% on arrival. I literally feel like I’m being scammed right now, but we don’t have a choice. Not sure what to do about this via uber app. Please let me know. Thanks

Edit: corrected three to two hrs

I live in the Midwest, but I woke up this morning and the air smells like smoke. It’s a bit foggy. Will this be enough to harm my outdoor plant, or are they strong

I’ve tried to make a number of tops, or even just straight panels, but all of them are useless because no one can put them on!!! Or when they get it on, one everywhere except for the binded hem is loose. I’ve tried at least five different bind off methods to retain stretch. None of them work. I can’t do it. I try to watch tutorials of people making different garments, but my yarn isn’t yarning the way their yarns are. I can’t keep adding width because i mentioned earlier that the body is already so loose.

I am also skinny. There isn’t much to get around other than shoulders or butt, depending on the method of choice for putting the tops on. I’ve tried binding off with EXTREMELY LOOSE TENSION and also crocheted with huge hooks. I feel hopeless. I just want straight tops, no ribbed hem, like I see everyone else doing. If anyone has any advice, I’d greatly appreciate it please

My business account got banned because “Based on the information we have today, this account was linked to another PayPal account with unresolved issues.” This seems so unfair and I’ve tried to appeal, but they’re adamant on the decision. Moving on to the future, how am I supposed to know whose account puts me at risk when doing business?! Is there a way to ask for proof that their account is not at risk for anything before a transaction? It’s going to be tedious asking for proof, but I got screwed over badly having to refund others and try to figure out alternative forms of secure payment. I don’t even know who put me on this position
