So after a month or so on this site I still think its a good concept. The fact is, haters are always going to find something to complain about. If thethey'on Facebook or Nextdoor or Twitter... Haters will always complain and blame others for their bad experience. If someone doesn't agree with you its not the same thing as bullying! If someone is describing an African American that was walking down the street trying car door handles, its not racial profiling!#! They are just describing the person they saw! There's nothing wrong with nextdoor, its us. We've become a Jerry Springer nation, or Rush Limbaugh... what happened to being polite? Being considerate? Its like we are trying to score points, but the difference is that these people live a few houses down or across town... And the potential for a conflict to get out of hand is here. We've forgotten how to talk to each other. Sad. Or we can use this to work on our social skills and help each other. Come on people - lets do better.
I've read alot of the reviews and I have to think that some are negative because theyve gotten a group together that just can't get along. Too many strong opposing opinions perhaps. When I describe Nextdoor to other people I say this: its not like Facebook where you can roam around on others peoples pages and such. Its more specific to your area. I like that. Its also not a site where there is activity all the time. So I check it once a day or so, to see what's going on. If nothing, I come back later or the next day. Some of the debates get pretty heated but I live in a community of highly educated and open-minded individuals. The French Quarter in New Orleans is very diverse. I suppose most neighborhoods aren't like that. On the negative side - leads from surrounding neighborhoods like to weigh in and ask for our leads to shut a discussion down if it heated or even silly. I say worry about your own neighborhoods. That should be against the rules. People that actually "know" each other should be able to cut up and carry on. Its cheap entertainment lol. On the otherhand... Our leads have let a guy who's a menace to the French Quarter have a platform to spew his venom about one of the local residents that he is in dispute with. So as with all things there is good and bad points. Overall I enjoy it. We have one resident in a nearby community of New Orleans that likes to weigh in in opposition of everything. Kind of makes me want to log off everytime she pops up. But the idea of on the spot crime reports, issues with pets and selling off some of your stuff, really appeals to me.
So its 3am and you can't sleep. You need a snack. There's this quirky little store/deli on the 1100 block of Bourbon that will have something to quench your craving. They have Ben and Jerry's ice cream, beer, wine, 14 thousand kinds of pepperidge farm cookies, chips, dip and a full menu in the deli. Breakfast starts at 2am and they also deliver 24/7. The cooks are all really sweet and the owner is super sexy! Plus you never know who might walk in the door... Celeb or cartoon character.
It all started several years ago when I needed printer ink. Not sure why I did it but I typed in Walmart.com. That's when my love of ordering anything and everything from Walmart.com. I'm trying to think if I've had a bad experience. I've had a couple of problems with the USPS and one marketplace vendor shorted me a shirt when I ordered two, but both times it was resolved quickly. I even order all my shoes from there. I don't think you can order used items like you can on amazon, do they still do that? I really don't know. Havn't used amazon in years. Not too long ago I ordered 4 sets of dishes that were on sale. I was really skeptical but they were packaged so well that there wasn't so much as a chip on my china. I've never tried to return anything so not sure how that works. Oh, and if you need to talk to a real person, don't bother looking around on the site for a 1-800#, you'll just keep going in circles and ending up where you started - and frustrated! Do yourself a favor and just Google Walmart.com customer service number. It pops right up.
Happy shopping.
