And what about the I'm Going To Lose My House sob story. She took people's money and continuously evaded questions about taking the proper steps to correct a situation like that. Total scam.
Ding ding ding ding. This is where it all started to feel suspicious to me. And also what put me on her radar, apparently. I was one of the people trying to offer some practical steps and solutions but that wasn't what $he was after, so think it made her salty towards me.
Also in response to the timing, before all of that went down she was sort of person non grata around here. People were a tad tired of her antics and were maybe getting a bit skeptical.
Then she inserts herself right back into the fold. She had everyone's sympathy again.

Oh, man. I'm so sorry about the bay clothes, that is just unforgivable. I would be heartbroken, too. Also, I really, really hope kevin arnold and toledo stick around.
Ugh, she's been on my radar for a while now but I'm sorry to see that you of all people, UWR, got burned. I hope she does the decent thing and makes this right, to the extent that is still possible.
I am so sorry, UWR. You are such a good person, and have been incredibly kind in giving her the benefit of the doubt for so long.
Count me among the people who also ordered a quilt that took far longer than expected (although it was months, not years). And I also sent a gift for her that was never acknowledged, while waiting for said quilt, since I knew she was going through a lot. Despite knowing what I experienced, I was even considering asking if I could order a baby quilt from her, since I've still felt so much empathy for the challenges she and her family have been facing.
Hearing how frequently people here who have shown support have had issues with orders and gifts being acknowledged, I'm surprised it took us this long to discuss it.
I am so sorry that you haven't received your baby clothes back, UWR. I really want to believe that she will admit she fucked up, that she still has them, and she will actually get them in the mail ASAP. But I suspect they were purged in the recent yard sale, if not in earlier craft purges.

If one person has that much drama or shit happen, more than likely they're embellishing or making up some (if not all). A la jlm, Monterrey, otter mama, etc. I no longer believe anyone after a certain point of drama.
ANd it needs to be repeated this wasn't going on during any old time but when we were in the midst of a fucking board explosion. Feelings were HOT to say the least.Â
In the midst of a board explosion about racism, in which she inserted herself in a really weird way. Her posts during that whole thing made me really uncomfortable.
I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Somehow I missed this and don't remember it, but I am certain if I were to go back and read the threads I'm in there since I was all over the board then. Man. This is all so disheartening.

I'd like to get credit for KA and toledo's return. I may have even begged kevin arnold to return. Squirrely went after kev in threads on here and cep, it was so ridiculous.
Also, since I'm having luck Que?Lucy Honeychurch Where the hell has flex been??? Do we even have a mod?
Yes we have a mod. I just got up. What am I missing?

She even took the drama over to CEP to get an "unbiased" opinion when she didn't get the traction she wanted over here. You know, when CEP was looking for blood/answers after the box of dicks crap.

Because she hadn't "felt comfortable on ML in quite some time." That made my blood boil, after all this board has done for her.

I don't think it's wrong to acknowledge that mental illness (assuming that takes part in this) does affect decision-making. Lack of motivation can be a symptom of devastating anxiety/depression, the former she has discussed multiple times. Not an excuse, a fact. Squirrelly, if you do nothing else today, get to the post office. Have someone drive you/have them mail it. Do this.

I didn't intend to bring this up to the board because it just sounds petty, but since similar stories have been repeated I'll add that I had also sent her an Amazon gift card that she didn't acknowledge until eventually I PM'd her to be sure she received it some time later.

Yep. I didn't contribute to any of the GFM's but yep, what a shitty thing to put out there after all the help she had received. I was rolling my eyes so hard.
UWR paid through PayPal, so buyer protection and all, BUT, being that this was 2 years ago, according to PayPal her dispute period has passed.
I did tell her she should file a claim anyway, worst they say is no.
If you persist with them they're pretty compliant. I got them to refund $100 that was sent friends and family because that's how people often buy wraps (lady was a scammer).
Yes! Be persistent. I was able to get $500 back long after the dispute period. PayPal will usually be on your side. If anything, it will at least put a hold on her account for the amount she owes you and she'll be unable to use it until your money is returned.

I think she posted about it here? Didn't get the response she wanted so post there and then posted here, again. It was all so over the top.

Okay. Now this is reminding me a little. I still have no recollection about if I responded. Lol.
UWR, I really really hope you get your stuff. I'm so upset multiple people got screwed.
I'm so sorry UWR. I have several items of baby clothing saved from each girl and I'd be so upset if someone I entrusted them to either lost or kept them.
It's been 2 years Squirrely. It's completely inexcusable that you can't woman up and tell UWR exactly what happened.

I always felt a little weird about her posts and I'm glad i never contributed anything. But, i can see why people did and why sweet people like UWR wanted to help her out. I hope she steps up and acknowledges you and that she does have your clothes but I think realistically we all know they're gone. I am so sorry UWR <3
Completely understand any hesitation, but in the case that you get the clothes back- I promise I will make you the quilt, free of charge, and have it back to you within a month. I've done king size quilts in less time.
