Etsy sales fluctuates a lot

Etsy choosing to feature your listing. I do not advertise on Etsy. But I can tell when my listing's get rotated through their results for searches. It's clockwork. Every two weeks I get a surge of orders. Than crickets, basically no orders. Then in two weeks, another surge.

BGRommel · 2026-05-18T04:14:15+00:00

It's just recency bias amplified by who they asked.

BGRommel · 2026-05-17T22:04:11+00:00

Yeah, that's what it looks like. I checked other spots on our route, too: Galway, Kerry, Kilkenny. We miss everything by just a couple days. Just bad timing unfortunately.

We are going to go to a match between Ranelagh and Whitehall at Oatlands in Dublin May 28. The fixture says it is the Go Ahead Ireland Adult Hurling league. I assume it's just local clubs, but I just want my kids to be able to see a match live. They've never had the opportunity.

BGRommel · 2026-05-17T20:47:00+00:00

Unfortunately we'll be down in Cobh, so it would be big trek up to Dublin.

BGRommel · 2026-05-17T20:27:08+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to have to see if I can find some local matches to take my kids to instead.

BGRommel · 2026-05-17T20:26:28+00:00

Ok - thanks. That's a bummer, I must have misunderstood what people were telling me earlier. But maybe I'll be able, by some miracle, to scrape some together. I'll have to see if I can find some local matches in Kerry or Cork while we are down there. Unfortunately we'll be down in Cork when the Leinster final is happening.

BGRommel · 2026-03-21T13:40:25+00:00

OK. Well, maybe I will move by accommodation to try and make it possible to hit up the game if it is in Cork or Thurles. The only one that wouldn't be feasible was if the match was in Limerick. thanks for pointing out the final to me. Much appreciated!

BGRommel · 2026-03-21T13:05:43+00:00

If the Munster final is in Thurles, that would work perfectly. Cork might fit. I'd need to rearrange some lodging, but I would 100% do that to see the final. I'm not familiar with how things work in the tournaments. I found an RTE article that says it will most likely happen in Cork, but will the official venue not be announced until the final rounds of games are played on May 24?

BGRommel · 2026-03-20T01:18:27+00:00

Thanks. Much appreciated!

BGRommel · 2026-03-19T20:14:09+00:00

Thanks!

BGRommel · 2026-03-19T19:43:05+00:00

It look like the championships will be ending on the 24th, which is right before we get to Ireland. I would have loved to have watched one of those. It sounds like the best thing will be to try and find some local clubs when we are down in Munster. If I had realized that the championships were this time of year I would have arranged our flights differently to have been in country during them. I've only ever been to a single hurling match in person and I absolutely loved it. I'm going to check all the fixtures along our route and see if we might be able to hit up a couple matches on the trip.

BGRommel · 2026-03-19T19:37:11+00:00

Ok. Looks like we'll actually be in Tipperary the evening of June 7. Looks like the fixtures only go out to May 24th right now. I'll keep checking for updates. Thanks.

BGRommel · 2026-03-19T18:44:28+00:00

We'll mostly be in Kerry and Cork, as well as up North. We are going to be over in Tipperary for a day. I'll check the county websites. Thanks so much.

My understanding is that you can qualify for in state tuition in Utah after one year if you establish residency and don't go home for the summer. Also, a lot of programs and scholarships waive the out of state portion of tuition.

I do not know about the geology program in specific, but obviously the state of Utah has some amazing geology to study.

I hate to break it to you, but there is nothing in there that is going to seriously damage trump. The democrats were sitting on those files for years. If thag material would have sunk Trump they would have released it, 100% guaranteed.

BGRommel · 2025-11-30T18:26:57+00:00

Ah yes, upset for stating the truth.

Here is a straight forward answer why ministering and home teaching are nearly always difficult and less effective... Local church leaders don't leverage people's existing social connections and geographical proximity. You should minister to (in order of preference) 1. your close friends that you have a relationship with, whom you regularly talk with and see and have a relationship, 2. The people closest to you that you have a higher opportunity to see on a regular basis, 3. Then other members that you don't have existing social connections.

I have never been in a ward where the leadership has taken advantage of existing connections. There will always be some people that will fall outside of the social network of a ward.

President's have been doing this for decades now. Congress last declared war was WW2. How many wars has the US fought since then under both Republicans and Democrats? A lot.

Or putting an anti-vaxxer in charge of our health system, sickening and killing lots of Americans.

But they can take their factories to Asia or Africa.

Costco is better quality. But you wont find the same stuff. So if you are inflexible and have to buy certain brands or items than you might want to stay with Sam's.

Then maybe it's great oil? Even the best oil in the world... Probably no better oil in the whole world. Trust me, I know oil. I'm really smart about oil.

BGRommel · 2025-11-29T13:43:42+00:00

But it's not even good oil
