Working on my eBid shops and doing well.

Hi Charlotte
Hi Carolyn and all those WFC people

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.
I thought I had the lawn raked, but I may need to do it one more time since the storm.

Yesterday, it was 70 degrees : This morning, it’s 40 degrees.
Yesterday, warm but a bit cloudy.
Come home from work and do a little on the computer before disconnecting for the storm.

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.
So glad that I got the window frames replaced. The one frame I had to go down to the field stones to replace with the rot.
Next time, I think I will pull the windows out and put in glass blocks. (It’s easier to cement)

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.
Hoping to get back to my Weebly website and work on some more pages.

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
So glad that you are feeling better.

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 part of my quiltpolice items posted and linked.
. I spent most of the day working on this and figuring out the ins and outs of making this site.
. I feel pretty good that I got this far.

. 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).
. I now need a new microwave since the paint is starting to bubble inside and I here some crackling when in use. All I need is the paint falling off and bare metal exposed to the micro-waves.

It is cold!

We are having S N O W.
It’s not heavy and some grass is peeking out so far.
This afternoon, it’s suppose to rain/slush.

Still working on my weebly site for Quiltpolice.
I have my charity quilts history.
I have my regular quilt history loaded, but still editing and such. This part I haven’t updated/published yet. I am planning by the end of the week to get that done and I will let you(s) know.

Had another sale. Making more food to make and freeze a portion of it for later meals.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone.

Wet, rainy and damp day.
Spent the day making a couple of pots of chicken soup for the freezer.
Tomorrow, I want to make a pot of mashed potatoes, some to eat and the rest to freeze. And I am hoping to make macaroni and cheese for the freezer.

Been working on my weebly site. Not quite ready to update / publish the new postings.

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.

I have been cleaning out one of my rooms and working on some internet things.
I have pulled some items to be added to my craft shop as I find them in the cleaning of this room.
I did a few loads of laundry of fabric that need to be cleaned. A couple of pieces will be for sale.
I came across a bag of silk shirts that I started to rip apart for the fabric that will be sold as silk scraps.

I have 2 weebly sites and the 3rd one is in the works.
https://quiltpolice.weebly.com/ – - – This is the crafting one
https://chakracord.weebly.com/ – - – - This is the metaphysical one.
Now I am working on the clothing site.

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.

Merry Christmas Bette and all our Word Challenge friends!
Six degrees for the low this morning. Trying to finish up gifts and made a trip to the grocery store this morning to stock up for the weekend. The store was packed and the stuff I needed was out of stock. Who would have imagined broccoli was in demand for Christmas! Did not want to go to another crowded store but we will do fine with the stuff we have, just not worth the risk of covid.

Had another sale on eBid through my Weebly website link.

Will start going through my listings to adjust shipping.
I am changing only some of them in the higher First Class ounces and Medium Flat rates.
I guess the adjustments I made with the October postage rate increase covered the January rate increase.

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)
Both tuxedo cats – one with and one without a mustache.

Talked with Emily – she is okay.
Talked with Carolyn – She is doing good.

So far, the winter really hasn’t been that bad.
The boys are enjoying the playtime outside. They do take breaks to go inside to quick warm up.

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.

Working on more updates to my eBid shops. I have been research UPC codes and I do own my own UPC codes that I have been updating their registration.
I have one shop completely done with any UPC code updates.
Today, I will have the listings updated on the shop #2 done.
The clothing shop will be a pain looking to find UPC codes.
I do feel that I am getting my shops in order.
I am working on doing bundles for some of the old clothing listings.

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.

Posted by Policequilts, Burlington, WI. 22,850 total posts | Posted over 1 year ago

Finally got all the UPC codes on my eBid shops.
Just getting new items ready to list, but I had to take some pictures overs. The coloring of the items is different and I want the best respresentation of these items.

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.
I did make a community group with a bunch of game threads.

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.

Hi Bette! Hi Carolyn! Getting pictures right is so time consuming! I bet yours turned out great!
Been super busy, can’t believe so much time has sped by! I am working temporarily for the health dept doing covid vaccination clinics which are starting to slow down. Looking forward to planting my seven new rose bushes when they arrive in a couple weeks and have various other plants to get in the ground. Got to get my flowerbeds refurbished.

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.
Hope you are all doing well and keeping busy with your Summer activities. As for me, we recently moved to another state, so I am trying to enjoy the summer weather in between unpacking and getting settled. I’m also jumping back into online selling for a bit (not here) to empty out the inventory I brought with me.
I do still keep in touch with Bette by phone, so get a few updates about Bonanza from her, but mostly have to peek in here once in awhile to see what’s new. Our former days of being involved with eachother almost daily have long past. Nothing stays the same. BUT change can bring wonderful new opportunities, as well. Just have to work harder to keep in touch!
Take care, Everyone and stay happy and healthy!

Had another sale. Still selling on eBid.net.
I like it there and have been able to get more listed without any interference from the selling sites (like eBay and such).

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 think this game here shows that, too. It’s a great example.

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.

BTW, is cshort Carolene still around??

Posted by Policequilts, Burlington, WI. 22,850 total posts | Posted 5 months ago

@EmpressDepot
Thank you for letting me know about Nicole.
It’s funny that I was checking her eCrater account and the there hasn’t been any updating since February.

I had a funny feeling that something was serious with her.
I did delete my eSellersCafe account a while back. (Just trying to clean up and eliminate accounts just in case of my time coming around the corner)

Carolyn, Cshort0319 closed her Bonanza account (I think that is what she said). She is on Etsy under the same ID. I do talk with her and she is still hanging in there. She has been in the hospital on and off.

Emily, MrsDinkerson is selling on eBay. I do talk with her every few weeks. She moved to Missouri.

CHARLOTTE/ Abrafox : I still have my account here but debating about having it deleted.

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.

Posted by Policequilts, Burlington, WI. 22,850 total posts | Posted 4 months ago

@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.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/cshort0319?ref=shop_sugg

GravityVideo should be on eCrater https://gravityvideo.ecrater.com/
UPDATE: I found Gravity on Bonanza https://www.bonanza.com/booths/gravityvideo

Cornerstonecowboy has a website
https://www.thecornerstonecowboy.com/
He use to have a store on eCrater, but that’s vacation or ?
Also check esellerscafe, I thought he had his sites there.
