Working on my eBid shops and doing well. Hi Charlotte We had about a week of warm temps (60-70 degrees) which is not normal for November. Managed to get replace the 2 basement window frames and the living room outer frame. Yesterday, it was 70 degrees : This morning, it’s 40 degrees. The Storm: Lightning like crazy. 70 MPH winds. Tornado warnings. No power for at least 8 hours. This morning, cold and calm. Need to pick up branches. I still need to work on the garage door, or to tarp it before the snow flies. I have a couple of letters to write and then some Pinterest pinning. PS the cats are SASSY and full of PI$$ and Vinegar. |

Hi, everybody! Got back from Rehab late last night – I’m fine now – really – but I had another relapse of being unable to walk – total breathless. 13 days later, here I am. They did a great job on me – strangely enough, no medications needed. no oxygen after the first 8 hours, and I’m good to go.It was quite an unpleasant experience, not being able to breath. I just don’t know why it happens, and neither do any of the doctors. Could well have been a fluid buildup – sort of the reverse of what happened the last couple of times. Anyway. I’m just fine. Hugs to all! Carolyn |

Hi Carolyn I have finally been working on my Weebly website for personal and for shopping with links to my eBid shop. https://quiltpolice.weebly.com/ . I still have to put my other quilts in my “personal items” but I do have the charity quilts that I have done in the past. . I have to do some shopping tomorrow to replace canned food and frozen meat. I been cooking and making chili, chicken soup, and sloppy joe mix to freeze. (So I don’t have any food going past the expiration and I can have some quick food to heat up). It is cold! |

Hope everyone is safe this past holiday. Have tried to start another weebly site and really boo boo. Waiting for them to undo the account so that I can get into the right area for another free website. I was hoping to have the clothing site almost done or completed by now. It’s not as detailed as the Quiltpolice site. It was a little warmer the past couple of days. I was at the farm where one set of window were blown out and getting all the glass picked up. Called the owner and she called the handyman to get some plywood to cover the gaping hole. Still haven’t fixed the garage doors. BUT I think I figure out why the “better” door gets a bit sticky. It looks like the guide wire has loosen up. |

Hi Bette! I wish I had your energy! Putting all those ready to eat meals in the freezer is a great idea! Love your theme, Just a material girl! I embroidered some Aunt Martha dish towels when I was a teenager, (so long ago ;) ) Your shop looks fantastic! A couple months ago I made a spur of the moment trip to my son’s to tend his doggies while he was on a fire. Spent the mornings weeding and puttering around then the afternoons painting kindness rocks, relaxing and playing with the doggies as there wasn’t much to do when not leaving the house because of covid, but it was really nice. |

Merry Christmas WFC members. Yesterday it was in the 50’s and today in the teen’s with a wind chill and light flakes. Emily mentioned that they sold their home and moving/ living with some relatives in Wisconsin for a period of time before looking for a new home.
Oh, a black and white kitty (TOM) has shown up a few times. I think this is the black and white one that showed up 2 years ago when Dottie and her kittens did. I feel pretty good that things are getting done. Well, just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. |

Had another sale on eBid through my Weebly website link.
I have ripped apart 20+ silk tops for making silk scrap fabric bundles to sell. I did find a couple of really nice tops and have to inspect them for any faults or they will get ripped apart, too. I have 2 black and white tom cats that have been coming in the evening for food. (plus a dumb possum, too) Talked with Emily – she is okay. So far, the winter really hasn’t been that bad. I have a little bit of tax work to summarize and it will be ready to file in February. I also have to do a Sales and Use tax form by the end of January. |

It’s finally feeling like winter. Cold and snow that is staying. Been feed the 2 black and white tom cats.
I got lucky a couple weeks ago. When I went to my thrift shop, I was able to pick up 2 handmade quilts for $5. each. |

Hello all! Sending good thoughts for your upc codes Bette! Winter has been very mild here. Did get some snow but January was much warmer than average. My usual activities are pretty much on hold for the next couple months as I try to accumulate some hands on hours with patients to keep my skills current. Starting a student type rotation at a family doctors office and volunteered to give covid vaccinations at our health department this week. Did traffic directing last week and it was actually quite fun, saw lots of friends I hadn’t seen in a long time. |

Finally got all the UPC codes on my eBid shops. WOW it’s been 0-9 degrees with below zero wind chills in Wisconsin. Brrrrrr I haven’t seen the black and white tom cats, but there is now a long hair gray cat eating here. Working a community group on eBid for promoting the site and our items. Found a big bag of dried cat nip. Guess who(s) could smell it a mile away. Rubbed their toys in it to freshen them up. |

I am simply trying to add a few items to my Bonz shop, and am getting totally stymied. The site has absolutely useless “helpers” who send out pro forma responses that say absolutely nothing at all. I’m about ready to pack it in permanently. There is no one there who – apparently – can read and comprehend the English language. |

Hello, Everyone who still reads this thread! I see no one has posted here for quite a while, so thought I’d pop in while reviewing my booth and bump the thread up a bit. |

Had another sale. Still selling on eBid.net. I did a massive clean up of old inventory and removed items for sale and out of the house to the thrift shop. Cleaning up items that were purchased and really deciding if I want to sell it or donate it back to the thrift shop. I have made 2 trips to the thrift shop for donations. I had trees removed from the back yard and redo the design of the back gardens. I finally got them planted and my garden pier is in place. It’s been very dry here and I am surprise the garden had done as well as they did. BUT . . I have splurged and the past 3 years mulched the gardens. This year was the big hay field garden got the first batch of mulch. Next year, all the gardens will get a touch up and the new back gardens will get a heavy layer of mulch for the first time. I managed to get window screens replaced since Fletcher likes to attach his brothers and sisters through the window screens. I got pet resistant screens. I need to get to the garage doors and get them repaired before winter and hopefully start cleaning the garage out. Summer has been busy weeding and mulching a lot of clients gardens. Loose a cleaning job, but picked up a new one. I do talk with Emily (MrsDinkerson). I am doing good and the cats are doing great. Just an update |

Popping in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! This last spring I got a job at a covid vaccination clinic and it has been non-stop! Any slow times are filled with attempting to catch up on the data entry! You sounds as busy as every Bette! I don’t know how you keep it up! Especially with your adventuresome kitties! |

Hello everyone. I apologize in advance that what I am sharing here has nothing to do with the game but there simply is no better place to share this info than here, especially since catcop is familiar with this person well. We have lost Nicole Chick aka Purple Iris on May 18th, 2021 to brain cancer. She went peacefully in a coma. I will miss her so much. A few years back her and I would spend hours on the telephone. It was not unlike us to talk till 3 in the morning. I had always hoped we could meet each other one day. Great bonds really can be formed with online friends just like in person. I have posted a start up thread on her esellerscafe.boards.net site if anyone happens to go on there. However, if u are new joining there u may not be able to get on as I think she may have reviewed each new person. Nicole’s mom, Glenna, told me about her passing when I called tonight. So much has been going on in my life that I cannot believe I did not reach out to her sooner. Rest in peace my dearly beloved friend. May there be an array of purple iris surrounding you, Nicole. |

@EmpressDepot I had a funny feeling that something was serious with her.
CHARLOTTE/ Abrafox : I still have my account here but debating about having it deleted. Anyone looking for me can find me on eBid.net. |

Hi Catcop (sorry, I still call u that no matter). You are welcome. I just cannot believe she is gone. She was young…right around 50. I know she blamed her problems on her meniers or whatever it is called with her ears but I bet for a long time it was the cancer and I’m sure it had an impact on her in other areas. It’s sad to see long timers disappearing in new directions but that is the way life goes. I’m still planning on being here for a while. My booth will be going on vacation for a few months. It’s nice to c u. I’m sure your summer was full outside. I’ll have to email cshort. I would buy reference books from her periodically. Stay in touch. I’ll be selling back on etsy in a few months as well and may come across u from time to time. I’ll have to email cornerstonecowboy and gravityvideo. They are the only ones I can think of. Can u think of anyone else? And is cornerstonecowboy on Etsy?? I did email marianna (momspennies) via email directly and they her website. They had been good friends at one point. |

@EmpressDepot I am sure that Nicole had that cancer growing for some time with all the problems she was having. Carolyn/Cshort0319 you can contact through Etsy. She also sells on eBay. GravityVideo should be on eCrater https://gravityvideo.ecrater.com/ Cornerstonecowboy has a website |
