Well, this makes sense because on May 11 I posted this:
Ughh, I am sorry. I looked at my messages - she actually PMed me May 11th but I didn't do it until the next day. So yeah, she must have messaged me when she read your post. She gave me an excuse about wanting to protect her son's privacy. So freaking shady.
I hope somehow you get the clothes back.
Oh please don't apologize! The timing of the deleted posts only shows me that she has no intention of returning the clothes. I'm so sad and angry, but that had nothing to do with you. and I have screenshots of all of our messages, so I'm fine there.
It would have been so much better if she had just been honest with me from the beginning.
It takes a LOT for me to get angry about shit that happens on the internet, especially here, because I'm an old and nothing that happenes here surprises me anymore...but this? This straight pisses me off.
That is a load of fucking bullshit that she is protecting her son's privacy after years of posting about him and everything he's been throught without a second thought. Bullshit.

I'm so sorry, UWR. Fuck her. What a straight up bitch.
Is there ANYTHING we can do? Honest to god. Is there any way we could make even a little bit of this not cut so deep?

A few awesome people have reached out via PM with very kind offers. But really, your support means a ton. I really didn't want to post about it at all, but when she continued to blow me off I hoped it would spur a response and I'd get the clothes back.
That's not been the case, but I have been reminded of just how loving and generous this board is. So that counts for a lot.
Oh fuck her. I thought talking shit about ML to PCE after all the support she's gotten on here was low. But exploiting her son as an excuse for hiding her shady behavior? Fuck her. I guess we now know exactly how low she's willing to go. somehow, this pisses me off more than most of the other scams people have run over the years. Shame on her.
I didn't donate to her (most recent) GoFundMe, but if I had, I think I'd report her. Anyone want to take bets about whether she was actually losing her house because of "health problems?"
I hope that everyone who had a less than perfect transaction from her Etsy account goes and posts a review. Maybe it will save someone from sending their own baby clothes to this thief.
Dude. I kind of want us all to tag her a million times until AT LEAST $80 magically shows up in uwr's PayPal. I would absolutely donate to try to get uwr's money back. (And I have only donated to a few gfm's here) Unbelievable. The thing is that uwr is probably the sweetest, most forgiving person on the board. Had sm let her know something had happened upfront (lost, ruined, sold, whatever!) I have a feeling she would have been so sad but would have been ok. This 'I'm working on it! I'll have it at christmastime/new year/spring/whatever is bullshit and just made it worse. You are a class act, underwaterrhymes, i know you don't really 'know' me but I am so upset for you.
Her son's privacy!?! Her son's fucking privacy!?! His privacy was of no concern when she gave us his full name and AND hospital name AND hospital ROOM NUMBER so we could all send him get well cards.
I guess privacy only gets priority when gravy trains derail. Unfuckingbelievable. Squirrelly you are the fucking WORST.

Not really the point, but I would never buy handmade bath and body shit from some rando on the Internet. People get degrees in cosmetic science and entire regulatory bodies are in place to make sure we don't foolishly maim ourselves in our quest for soft skin. Why would I bypass these modern luxuries? I can't imagine that any of these items she or anyone else is selling are worth it.
And I say this as someone who makes many of her own bath and hair care products. It's because I'm a bored, crunchy, hipster with too much time and money on her hands. By the way, cocoa butter will fuck your face up. Trust.
