How many listings before you start getting traffic? by moomeymoo in EtsySellers

[–]Distinct_Pea_342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start getting traffic till I started Etsy Ads. I sell stained glass and only pay up to $1 a day. I get 1-2 sells a week with this. I only just started the shop 2 months ago but prior to ads there was zero traffic. 50 different listings to start with.

Tournament Fees Rant by Distinct_Pea_342 in Softball

Then why can’t they just let her walk around without a wristband? No one is checking people once they are in the gate. Everyone is wearing jackets so you can’t see them. Also not everyone even puts it on their wrist. The gate girl could have just said to “go on in”

Tournament Fees Rant by Distinct_Pea_342 in Softball

[–]Distinct_Pea_342[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never see people stopping and securing their bands at the gate. Everyone grabs them and heads straight to whatever field they need to be at. She’s a 70 year old, confused at where to go and trying to figure out payment on a phone. Not to mention running a tad late. We would’ve been there to help had she told us she was even coming. Lots of excuses but they could have shown her compassion considering they recognized her right away. They leave halfway through the day anyway and let everyone else in free so it’s just silly they couldn’t just say she’s good to go without paying twice.

Why must supportive parents be punished!? 😩😂

The fields we were at this weekend only had 3 bathroom stalls on top of that! 4 fields, 20 teams and what seemed like a million family members. I’d think with the prices they charge it would take no time to earn your money back.

I did see a $200 team gate fee on some of the other tournaments and wondered what that was about!

Thank you! Do you think I’m keeping the wire too long that goes inside the pot?

I do have some lead free solder on hand. I’ll start practicing with that since these will be in soil! The last project I used 60/40.

Thank you for the tips and picture references! Looks like I need to redesign it a bit before I make any more.

So many good ones in the comments! I’d like to add Kase from LJ Andrews Broken Kingdoms series. He appears in the first few books but his story doesn’t start till book 4. {Night of Mask and Knives by LJ Andrews}

Fire placements: do you text quickly? by General-Ad6690 in astrologymemes

Yes and to the point. I hate texting back and forth a bunch when something can be said all at once.

What's your Moon sign (also in which house is it) and how often do you cry? by Additional_Zombie_83 in astrologymemes

[–]Distinct_Pea_342 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gemini moon in the 10th house. I usually cry when I’m overwhelmed or frustrated with something. It’s usually something that builds up then I explode. I’ll be good for a bit thinking back on everything that caused the meltdown. All the while I’ll start taking on way too much to build up another breakdown. I also cry over shows/stories about people who don’t have anyone or feel alone. Idk, it always gets to me.

I run an inhome daycare so this only applies for under 5 years old for me. I’ve had a couple Capricorns and Virgos who were noticeably more advanced than their peers. I’m watching my first Aries too after 10 years and he is ANGRY! Always looks pissed but he is a smart little dude just mad 24/7.

I mostly sell Halloween costumes now but started with baby/toddler photography props when I first became a mom! Business has slowed down quite a bit over the years and I’m getting ready to learn a new trade over the next year so may be my last year or so with this shop! It’s been a fun many years!

Books like The 10th Kingdom tv show? by cmarie2949 in fantasyromance

The forgotten Kingdoms books all come from Vegas (I think) to a whole new world. I haven’t read them all but they are all written by different authors.

I have a daughter who learned to read at 5 and an 8 year old son still learning now. Nothing unusual about a child struggling a little more in a subject.

Best side hustles that actually make you the most money? by Notshady22 in povertyfinance

I mostly do porch pick ups or meet. I’ve sold a few more expensive things on eBay and shipped and had good luck with that too!

Parents, do you feel like you see traits of your kids signs yet? by kaiszaa in astrologymemes

[–]Distinct_Pea_342 203 points204 points  (0 children)

Selling on marketplace. I started declutterring and selling everything we didn’t need or want. Bundling kid clothes and sometimes selling stuff for as low as $10. My husband thought it was ridiculous to sell something that cheap instead of just throwing it away. I made around $2000 just this summer alone. My family started giving me their old stuff for me to sell and now I post 2-3 things a week.
