RETIRED - The Official VS, Express, Beauty & more Thread

is this from your wreck still?

Yes and no. My back still tightens up due to all the bending I do at work. If it were not for that, I would be completely pain free.

hope it gets better soon.

My closet. I am not of the donating variety.

I should do that. I put nwt items in the goodwill bag. I need to get off my lazy butt and on fleabay !

I would love to sell items, but I do not trust people. Not a fan of the okey-doke. How do you stand it? Enlighten me, Flames.

I'm so sorry to hear that you have back pain. I understand the feeling. I spend most of my time in bed due to a back and neck injury. I had my first epidural injection yesterday after many failed treatment attempts. It's too soon to tell if the epidural will work yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I see my doctor every month, and he provides me with a work status report each time that indicates my work limitations, if any. I highly recommend getting a note from the doctor to help you and your employer find more suitable work for you in order to reduce your pain.

that is a lot of things you sold from your closet to reach top-rated. i hope you're getting lots of profit.

Yikes, Icey! Feel better! Can you switch into a job with no bending? It sounds like you are in a tremendous amount of pain! Maybe somewhere else in the company?

Also, did you see my PM?

Yeah, all the NWT stuff that I just don't like anymore are on their way out Why give away perfectly good stuff that I spent time getting a deal on? Nosiree! Not worth returning anyway.

Goodness, I hope your injury gets better and hopefully get something to exempt you from work.

I guess me selling my closet stuff is two-fold:
1. That article nerdicus posted about hoarding. Totally me. My stuff has been owning me for some time now and it's messing up my psyche, so cleaning it all I'm hoping will help clean out issues that I have, reduce anxiety, frustration, annoyance, etc...especially reduce the stress that I'm needlessly exposing myself to. My friend once told me that I never really "clean." I just "move stuff around" and that hit home for me since I helped him toss out 90% of his stuff when he moved overseas.

2. I'm out of space. I'm tired of having to shove my clothes around to try and find something I know I have. I'm tired of having all those extra plastic drawers (3 large separate ones!!!) to put my clothes in because my large 6 drawer dresser is filled to the brim. It's so heavy that the wooden screwed in handles are coming loose from all the opening and closing of the drawers. And I HATE how when I do find the shirt I want to wear, it's all wrinkled from being shoved around, even though I fold it nicely and put it away. I bought so many things in a material and style that I thought I liked but when I actually tried on, I hated. But I kept it hoping that I would eventually like it, but nope. And of course, the items where I am now going "what was I thinking" So out they go!

So if it means getting rid of stuff by selling it so that I will stop going crazy, then I will put up with those idiots on fleabay. There are some really really really bad eggs out there, but they're few and far in between. If they give me trouble once or not pay, I just block them so I don't have to deal with their BS again.

So yep, it's worth it. There will always be new stuff I like, just need to purge the old crap I don't want. I guess a part of me is kind of sad that I got rid of that couple $K worth of returns and sent it back to VS. I coulda made more money by selling it then than returning it. But back then, I didn't want to deal with idiots on fleabay, but now, I can care less. Come one, come all and relieve me of my stress!

Switching jobs at my workplace is not going to happen. I am not happy there anyway. So I am focusing on finding new employment. I should have left years ago, but I got content because it is good money. However, money is not enough at this point for many reasons. Thanks for all the concern. You all are great.

Girl, we are the same. I have too much stuff also. I need to finish reading my clutter book that Kurpee introduced me to via free Kindle books. (Um, Kurpee, where are the free Kindle books? Hahaha) I donate some things, but I have things that I would like to sell. I need some insight on selling on eBay.

Anyone else having a problem with the Express site? When I finally got to the sale, I can't access any of the items.

Works for me..maybe they are telling you that there is nothing that you don't already have.

Express is working like normal in IE on our desktop, but it still isn't working on my laptop. This is the first time I've ever had the site not work all day.
