Memorial Day Irk reveal

@ironcheftoni nice!!! Fingers crossed the blender works!!!

@ironcheftoni Congratulations! It’s gone to a good home!

@ironcheftoni Those chews are potentially edible. (Or are biodegradable packing peanuts)

@pakopako and i have used them for packing peanuts before too.

@ironcheftoni
Good score! Hopefully your best friend’s wedding was beautiful and you all had a great time!
Wedding gift on Meh…

@Lynnerizer the wedding was beautiful. The brides were so happy. But of course not without a little more drama. My power went out again on Friday. I packed my kitchen up and baked two cakes at the house that was included with the wedding venue where the out of town wedding party was staying. Saturday morning, it did start raining a little but stopped right before the outdoor ceremony. Cakes I baked were for the after party. Strawberry cake with lemon buttercream and a lemon curd filling for bride 1. Yellow cake with chocolate buttercream for bride 2.

@ironcheftoni @Lynnerizer
Strawberry cake with lemon buttercream and a lemon curd filling
That sounds so delicious!

@ironcheftoni @Kyeh
I’m excited for a strawberry festival this weekend near me. I just found out about it today and the 20 plus pictures of strawberry items that are expected to be there literally made my mouth water!
Hopefully we’ll get there!

@ironcheftoni @Lynnerizer Nice! I hope you do! We have a peach festival nearby in August.

@ironcheftoni Niiiiice!

@jchizmar Mine is still processing.

@lonocat Nice - you’ll have the cleanest house in town! (And fresh food!)

@madmatt2112 Pots and Pans can be pretty pricey- so if they’re nice ones that’s a good score.

@OnionSoup mine had the standard placeholder, small size dimensions listed

@lonocat @OnionSoup My cuisinart food processor from SideDeal showed 1lb, as did the Meh package, and definitely weigh more than that

@OnionSoup Standard placeholder.

@shaunanl Most (quality) sunglasses these days can take prescription lenses. Though I wouldn’t put any in no-name/knockoff frames.

@shaunanl @ShotgunX You can have almost anything relensed, I’ve had this place do it a couple times: https://www.39dollarglasses.com/help/re-lens/your-old-frame

@Bretterson @shaunanl @ShotgunX LOL, I’ve just gone bonzo on Zenni when I had good discounts, and made up multiple prescription shades for about $10/ pair.

Of course, then I discovered I can’t switch glasses while driving, even for a second, without severe alarm (I’m pretty damn blind).

@brainmist @shaunanl @ShotgunX Eep. Sounds like someone needs Transitions.

@Bretterson @shaunanl @ShotgunX Nah, I’m better having lots of cheap glasses than some expensive ones that will get stepped on, lost, or eaten by the dog.

@omally Can you post a pic of the TV headphones? Those can be a really helpful option if you know couples with either one insomniac, or one hearing impaired person.

@OnionSoup I forgot … White noise machine too

@OnionSoup I actually bought that white noise machine. There are some decent sounds on there including more than white noise. I think it has pink noise and a few other “colors” and then some other sounds I have no idea why anyone would use them,

@Kidsandliz Yeah, hoping one of the kids will want it… I don’t use one, but I suspect someone will so it won’t go to waste.

Undies fit. Not even tight despite being size smaller

Wife hasn’t tried the shirt yet.

@hockeyham Hi Eddie!

@hockeyham now will Eddie like the bag or the box more …

@hockeyham
Did you look inside the cuisinart box?

@hockeyham NICE SCORE! I got that same necklace last month in my IRK, I only wear sterling silver but it’s not really my style so it’s going to be gifted to someone…
What a handsome boy, he looks like a hand magnet, I don’t think I’d be able to leave him alone! HI EDDIE!

@jchizmar nice, you have the produce saving paper!

@jchizmar What’s the pink thing under the jewelry?

@jchizmar @Kyeh
It looks like a jewelry pouch

@jchizmar @Kyeh @Star2236
Yup, a jewelry pouch, that’s what it looks like to me!

@Kyeh @Star2236 yes, the jewelry set came in the pink pouch, it lays flit with sections then you can pull the drawstring to chich t up. Likely more.useful than the plated stainless jewelry

@jchizmar @Star2236 Okay, thanks. I found that set coincidentally when I was looking at Morningsave. The jewelry does look boring.

@jchizmar @Kyeh @Star2236 I like rectangular links… but goldtone? Nope.

@IndifferentDude
Legit speedform models are usually worth a good chunk of change. You definitely may want to research that a bit further.

@IndifferentDude I got one of these as well and can’t seem to find the exact things online. Will post pics when I can.

@Brove2023 @IndifferentDude I got one too and have been trying to find it also. No luck yet

@Brove2023 @IndifferentDude @rm9116

@IndifferentDude @rm9116 @tinamarie1974 looks most like that red one except green, that wasn’t coming up in my searches, thanks!

@Brove2023 @IndifferentDude @rm9116 I did a google lens search and they came up. Maybe give that a try?

@IndifferentDude I got one too. Considering how it seems to be missing the black window details where the drivers seat would be, I wonder if these are misprints? Or maybe just fakes?

@IndifferentDude https://prestigemodelcars.com/products/pmc-aston-martin-valkyrie-british-green-1-18?_pos=4&_sid=4452fe683&_ss=r

@IndifferentDude
I found several videos on YouTube after doing the Google lens search. Looks like there is quite a few being sold on eBay too.
Enjoy! Vroom Vroom…

https://images.app.goo.gl/9LS7EV6jJjRGR2tY8

@Lynnerizer Yeah, I’ve found many similar ones but they all have a black top and aren’t solid green like the one I (and others) have received. Weird!

@IndifferentDude
Yeah that is strange. What do you plan to do with it?Are you into model cars or just the ones you’ve received from Meh? And what others have you gotten from here? This is the first time I’ve ever seen them here.
The only model car I’ve held onto is the one I was gifted about 36 years ago. (There was a time when I was into building them but that was like 50+ years ago, ancient history. Lol ) It’s a replica of the 69 Camaro I drove forever (my most favorite car ever) and it’s even STILL full of booze! (sealed and all, I’m 34 years sober )

@Lynnerizer I’ll probably put in on eBay and see if there’s any interest in it. I used to put the model car kits together when I was a kid (over 50 years ago also!) back when it was EZ to catch a buzz from the glue if you weren’t careful!

@IndifferentDude @Lynnerizer Hmm, maybe that explains some things …

@IndifferentDude @Lynnerizer I received one too… might gift it to my great nephew who loves cars… would be interested if ypu find the going rate. Mine did not come with a certificate of authentication…so doubt it is worth $500 in the link above:) and the link above says 1 of 6…

@IndifferentDude I got one too and based on this https://images.app.goo.gl/JZmNZvyqNPc5mzkf9 it looks like its headed straight for the trash as it’s missing the entire top piece.

@IndifferentDude @Superman You could probably still find someone who’d want it; someone who’s into building model cars could probably make something cool with it.

@IndifferentDude @Kyeh Possibly, would have been pretty sweet if it was complete.

@IndifferentDude @Superman
You got the convertible! Lol
Seriously, I agree with @keyh, someone could make something pretty cool with it!

@IndifferentDude
AH HA… the glue days…
Somewhere around 5th or 6th grade, that stain of rubber cement on my mom’s new loveseat hasn’t been explained to this day.
On another note… Has there ever been a thread here on Meh for trading or selling IRK items?

@IndifferentDude @Lynnerizer

Has there ever been a thread here on Meh for trading or selling IRK items?

On occasion people have started them for specific items and the person who wanted the item offered a trade or offered to pay more than postage. People also do that in whispers too.

@IndifferentDude @Superman The speedform is pretty cool, but it does seem like an error. I’d take it off your hands if it doesn’t cost much to ship.

@IndifferentDude Y’know. This could be a cool opportunity for a Meh remodel contest. Finish your model to represent some aspect of Meh.

@funsyd I like your wallpaper!

@Kyeh thanks! Previous owners work that I love.

@PooltoyWolf Hey, that’s great that you got one of the model cars!

@Kyeh It’s certainly not something I’d expect to get in an IRK! A very cool piece, and from my limited Googling, it seems these were possibly given to people who ordered the actual $3 million supercar! Now I just have to convince people I own that one, too.

@PooltoyWolf Oh, of course - you just leave it at your other house in Monte Carlo.

@Kyeh Might be easier to just buy a (Chevy) Monte Carlo!

@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf do you have a link to that finding? Thanks!

@PooltoyWolf same same!

@Brove2023 @Kyeh It was mentioned in this video:

@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf All it takes to convince people you own the real one is gather a bunch of cardboard boxes (possibly from Meh purchases), add a tarp, and buy the branded clothing. How could it possibly go wrong?

@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo if only it wasn’t missing the entire piece that goes on top of it.

@Kyeh @Superman @xobzoo Hmmm?

@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo In the video you can see they are all missing the black piece that shows the windows: https://images.app.goo.gl/JZmNZvyqNPc5mzkf9

@Kyeh @Superman @xobzoo Huh, odd…

@Ceph4s The microfiber cloth might be a “cooling” towel that you get wet, put around your neck and it helps cool you by staying coldish. If it is black I got one of those. And another time blue one. A friend swiped both so I have no idea if they work but apparently they were tempting enough she took them.

@Kidsandliz

@Ceph4s Hmm I only got one with no packaging. They say drying towels and the photos shows cars so drying dishes, cars, pets… I’d guess.

@BergyD

so this is all without regret! No hand sanitizer, no trak’rs, no car port chargers!

You have been deprived!!!

@Kidsandliz oh I have had them…… just not this box. Lol

@lehigh i got this same irk the last round!

@Felton10 There are probably several users here who would cheerfully front the shipping to snag that P2E and take a shot at resurrecting it.

@Felton10 If it weren’t so expensive, I’d say ship it to me and I’ll take a crack at repairing it! I could use some practice on something more modern…

@Felton10 @werehatrack Beat me to it.

@Felton10 @PooltoyWolf @werehatrack I know there was someone offering to pay shipping for this kind of thing so they can work on them; just can’t remember who.

@Felton10 I got one of the power stations as well… also DOA. Greek IRK bag, loose woman’s shirt, freshpaper, GFB bites, and an incipio 5000 mwh battery pack with mirror put into the power station box and retaped closed. And yeah, the P2EPB500 is clearly a dead refurb/return as it has scratches all over it. Unscrewed the sides off it to see if there was an obvious fuse or something, but no luck thus far. I have a larger/newer Bluetti power block, anyway, so meh… will tinker with it further to see if I can figure out what’s dead.

@Medlir almost exactly what I got-pants instead of shirt, got fresh paper and GFB bites but got the jewelry which people are trying to sell on ebay for list of $ 250 but like I said Nordstrom rack is selling for $ 40 so my daughter listed it for $ 150 on ebay.

Not as adventuresome or handy as you are so the only thing I did was to try a new cord. Let me know if anything you do works.

@studerc if you have never cooked on stainless before, do some research. it is great but can be frustrating learning technique if you are using coated pans now.

@AZnatural1 I got Muk Luks size 11, but since I also wear a 9-1/2, they are too big. If you want to stuff some paper in them or wear puffy socks, you can have the pair I got.

@heartny hmm I’m going to pass or hold out for a 9.5… 11 I’ll be tripping over my feet in them. I’m small 5’5 with big feet as it is but thank you for reading my post and responding!

@AZnatural1 I got a pair of size 10s. I have no use for them in any size, so let me know if you want to work something out.

@blankcanvas0587

Of course my box was cut open, taped, retaped, recut retaped and slightly revealed its contents…

It sounds like the Swamp Castle of packages. That seems very much in keeping with the traditions of the IRK.

@Skipbidder If this is the worst one you’ve gotten, you’re pretty lucky. Nothing broken, used, dirty; no Trakrs!

@Skipbidder the doorbell camera is somewhat useless (I had the same; it was a return and the user didn’t cover the glue pad so it was stuck inside the box; batteries were dead).

The massager I’ve bought two here and, one return aside for being non-working, are very helpful when a hot shower won’t get all the kinks out. (Though being a deep tissue massage, at the default high spin levels, it does feel like I’ve been punched afterwards. At the lower speed levels, with heat on, it doesn’t feel as effective, but makes a nice warm blanket alternative.)

@Kyeh The last couple were above average, with stuff that was definitely useful for me. So it gets scored as a Regret in comparison. This one wasn’t bad in terms of having broken stuff or a bunch of trackers or TENS pads. But I’ll give away everything but the meh bag.

@Skipbidder I see a certain pea soupiness about the color theme, too.

@Skipbidder I got that massager in my last IRK and… did you try it out? Maybe try it out. It seems stupid and junky and I expected I’d be adding it to the junk pile, but it kinda works really pretty well for me. And I figured out that by raising/ lowering my arms, I could walk it up or down my spine.

@tinamarie1974

Color changing nail polish

What colors does it change to/from?
Oh, I see it’s pink in the bottle …

@Kyeh yeah not sure. I dont wear pink, but pretty sure my niece will want it

![opened box][1]
I can’t believe how accurate I am with my own lethargy.
It’s actually too hot (and too stormy) that I would want to test to see if it works, but the heater seems to have arrived in one piece (except the various screws clanging inside). Also came with a red fukuboro, an iPhoneX screen protector, a large chemise, and … JVC gummies? (Bluetooth 5.1 ear buds, not food.) This space heater might be great in the winter (reducing my gas use to just the water heater), but everything else is going to look for a home (that isn’t mine)
[1]:

@Ark_kun OOOOF.

@Sarisin I dunno, using those “delicates” as a prank would have a decent amount of value to me

@el1c1a Actually its my typing and misuse of words that need help, but over the past 11 years have had over 75 letters to the editor posted in our local paper. And given that they will only post 1 letter of anyone per month-over an average of 6 a year is not bad. They post approx 60% of my submissions and I am on a first name basis with the letter editor.

Not only that but the glass stuff was packed well so it wouldn’t break. That doesn’t usually happen.

@Vectors great score! I have several of the glass Tupperware. I love them.

@Kidsandliz Those are pretty damn sturdy, so it’d have been a challenge to break them. Nice score!

@mehla Wow, if it’s this one, that massage thing goes for $230 on A-zon. It looks nice, really. Here’s the manual: https://a.media-amazon.com/images/I/913JbSyfKHL.pdf

@Kyeh Yep, it’s that one. I saw that Amazon listing when I was looking up the manual. I’m using the massager right now. At first it wasn’t scanning me so the neck massage was actually massaging my skull, not a great feeling. On a second try it went too far down and dug into my shoulders. Fortunately the up and down buttons were working at this point so I got it to move up. I’ll have to try a massage lying down or reclining.

@mehla It sounds like it could be pretty neat once you get it adjusted!

@Kyeh @mehla
Wow that thing looks awesome.

POPSOCKETS! COURT DOCKETS! FOLK ROCK HITS! AWESOME!

@pooflady The recent luggage sets have been pretty damn nice. Score for the son & d-i-l!

@jml326 I’ll pass on a tip I got from another person while complaining about my busted HP LaserJet IRK. Best Buy will take back e-waste, though from their website, in many states it will actually cost money to give it to them. I know in my state, stores that sell these items have to take them back, and if you can find a local store that sells whatever shit brand this is, you may be able to offload it for free.

Best Buy Recycling Info

@DLPanther Thanks for the tip. Not too worried as I ship to my work which has e-cycle programs in place.

@mypiesarepiff
Sucks that it’s broken

@texasvet neatorobotics.com remains up, with some support information available. It appears that there is a manual mode for some units, but I don’t know if that app is required.

@texasvet I received a Neat-O a few IRKs ago and hubby got it working, although it took a bit of troubleshooting. We also have a Shark and we think the Neat-O vacuums better than the Shark.

@texasvet If it’s an Android app, you may be able to find it on sites that stash discontinued/ older versions of apps. I’ve used this one before: https://www.apkmirror.com/

@oaklandtim
Turn your phone sideways and you’ll see a landmark icon you need to press to upload photos.

@n3uka I LOVE your hooker boots

@cbilyak @n3uka I think @tinamarie1976 needed those boots!!!

@cbilyak @Kidsandliz @n3uka good news, I got a pair but black They are beautiful!! Just havent had a chance to post the box

Bad news they are a size SEVEN and my ELEVENS will not fit in them

@tinamarie1974 My 13s recognize your disappointment.

@cbilyak @Kidsandliz @n3uka @tinamarie1974
I’m a 7 and actually might wear those fuck me pump hooker boots, there so ugly there cool

@n3uka WHAT THE FUCKING WHAT???

Um. I’m a size 7 and have some free shipping to blow through. But honestly, I’m guessing I’d discover pretty quickly that I prefer comfort to extravagance.

@cbilyak Mine shipped at 5:30 pm. FedEx says it will be across the country at my door tomorrow. I will be disappointed if it’s late.

@cbilyak @sammydog01 That is what mine said as well (well 5:32pm today). Actually mine claimed it would be delivered today.

/giphy impatiently tapping foot

@Kidsandliz @sammydog01 none of the reveals so far are from us Inked Mehtizens…looks like we are round 2 of shipping. I received my shipping notice shortly after my comment above.

@tahshar
You got both of those!!! How fucking lucky are you.

@tahshar Wow, awesome haul! I had the airfryer, and loved it, but waaaay too big for my kitchen, so I donated it. It worked really nicely!

FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!

@Star2236 For certain! Have also gotten a lot of duds over the years, but never have any expectations so it works out!

@brainmist Good to know! The crumb tray was in bad shape and sort of jammed in, but we got it out and my husband bent it back into shape. We verified that it turned on & everything worked. It sat on the counter overnight, and then went back into its tattered box. It’s just massive!

@walarney I think a lot depends on your furniture. If it’s close to the floor? Yeah, that vacuum is going to have issues.

If it’s on legs? that vacuum may hit some bunnies your can’t easily reach.

And meanwhile, you’re saved doing a very tedious task. Why have AI for art or writing? It’s the generic housework that kills our souls.

@rcwbbb Not too shabby! You got a little bit of everything there. Looks like the shorter version (or very similar) of a coat I got a couple months ago, my sister LOVES IT! That message board is pretty cool, and I’m curious what the jewelry looks like, and the cordless vacuum. Is it (the jewelry) decent quality or not so much…
ENJOY!

@Lynnerizer Here’s the link to the cordless vacuum on MorningSave.

Yes, like the quality of the coat especially since it’s a just a L. Similar Kenneth Cole jackets on MorningSave for $69.99, msp $295. Here’s better picture since I couldn’t get it all in.

Jewelry is O.K. Not a good judge of quality. It’s mother of pearl with a gold plated over stainless chain necklace.

@Lynnerizer oh my goodness Lulu is so adorable. I just want to cuddle and smell that puppy breath!!! Extra pets and treats for her please!!!

@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 That little dog is SO CUTE! I love her raccoon eyes, and her proud posture. What kind of dog is she?

@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974
My sister got a new little dog too! He’s 2 years old so full grown, but only weighs 5 lbs.

@Kyeh @Lynnerizer also sooo adorable and deservs cuddles and treats!!! how is the new baby fitting in?

@Lynnerizer I want one of those in my IRK. Beats getting one of those IRK stuffies.

@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 I’m told his new big sister (my sister’s other dog) is a bit jealous but they’re getting used to each other.
He came from a farm on a big rural property so he’s fascinated by the activities around his new home - garbage trucks, tennis courts!

@Lynnerizer Yay! I love dogs… other people’s dogs that is… not a fan of dogs living in my house, but love seeing/greeting other peoples dogs.

@Lynnerizer OMG BABY!

@Kyeh @tinamarie1974
OMG he’s beautiful! Even though I’ve never had a fancy pup (long silky fur and petite) like that he’s more MY kind of dog than my sister’s dog but I won’t tell her that! Lol…

@rcwbbb
I have to agree! My IRK stuffie is the closet, he’s been suffocating in his plastic.

@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 Well, that doesn’t surprise me because Tuc is a gorgeous fancy long-haired kitty!
But don’t tell MY sister - I actually think Lulu is cuter than this funny little guy (And I have a short-haired cat! )

@Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974
How’s @Charliedoggo’s paw coming along?

@Kyeh @tinamarie1974
Lol

@CharlieDoggo @Kyeh @Lynnerizer hi! Its doing well. I think all thr remaining stitches have dissolved/fell out and scabs are gone.

He is still wearing the cone at night and when I cant watch him(ie while working) because someone who will remain nameless (@charliedoggo) is trying to lick his paws constantly.

@CharlieDoggo @Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 Huh - I wonder if it itches because it’s healing? Or just feels different?

@CharlieDoggo @Kyeh @Lynnerizer well, he is licking the front left, the front right was operated on, sooooooo

@CharlieDoggo @Lynnerizer @tinamarie1974 Oh, strange!

@CharlieDoggo @Kyeh @Lynnerizer thats Charlie!!!

@cbilyak The Letsfit white noise machine is the same as the one I got below. It is actually pretty decent. I actually paid to buy one (well it was a 2 pack) several years ago and I like that it is small and has various white/pink/brown static noises. I actually like some of the others color noises better than white.

@cbilyak I got the exact same IRK.

@remo28 Similar to mine except instead of earrings and a battery box I got a huge sweatshirt and nail clippers and tweezers. Also I got 2 bags of grossness with the ginger crap instead of one. I think you did marginally better than I did with our nearly twin irks.

@sammydog01 So many people ignored the Hint, that yeah I did, but I can unlock it if needed. Since the main thing at this point would be the Reveals, and that’s about all that was going in that thread, it seemed like it would be less annoying for the folks who like to follow that subject. Otherwise, why even have the separate Reveal thread? The alternative would be to not have the reveal thread separately, and just revise the topic line to make it obvious that the sales-linked topic was now the Reveal thread, but then the first recipient wouldn’t get the “honor” of starting that thread, which can be kind of a big deal at times. (I’ve even politely ignored it a couple of times despite having an IRK in hand with nobody else having started the Reveals, just to avoid hogging it.)

Eh, maybe there’s no right answer.

@sammydog01 I went back and unlocked it. Unless I get a lot more feedback encouraging just one specific approach, I’m just going to let it sort itself out. I have way too much to do around the house this summer anyway.

@sammydog01 @werehatrack I, for one, like not knowing where to find things for certain. It makes me a lot more tolerant of commercial (& pathetic) search functions, such as at Amazon, Walmart, Lowes, …

Why do they treat intersections as unions? (I.e., “search for something that is A and B” gives me EVERYTHING that is EITHER one of A or B.
When they waste my time like that, makes me not want to even bother with them.

@phendrick And giving it more search terms in an effort to make the search ever more specific sometimes has exactly the opposite result instead, with it becoming ever more frustratingly scattered. At the moment, I have to give Amazon the unchallenged leadership position in useless search engines, only in part because of their insistence upon throwing in everything that someone has paid them to feature in their sponsored ads. It is usually far more effective to hand the search terms to a third-party engine and tell them to search for results in Amazon than it is to try to do the search on Amazon itself. That is just ridiculous.

@brainmist Ope, forgot to mention the diamond chip earrings. Not my thing, but I’m sure they’ll find a home.

@brainmist I have 4 mac cases now. I can send them to you to build your house (well probably doll house but hey that is close enough). Not quite the new trackrs but they take up way more space.

@Kyeh Very nice! Enjoy!

@heartny Thank you!

@XLVMVP12 enjoy the clean tushie
