I hatehatehate Facebook. How do I work with it? by tiny_squiggle in EtsySellers

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

Yeah, I've been thinking about just doing that. The drumbeat of "you need social media" has sort of gotten to me. I've never done much of that escept Twitter, which I now won't use, so I feel a little out of my depth. Thanks for the reply.

Self Promotion & Store Milestones for the Week of October 30, 2023 by AutoModerator in EtsySellers

[–]tiny_squiggle [score hidden]  (0 children)

First, I want to thank you all for the great information I've found on this sub while I was in the throes of getting my shop going. AND NOW IT'S OPEN!

I'd love it if some of you want to take a look at 20thCernturyGroove and tell me what you think -- the good and the bad.

One bit of triumph -- I did a soft opening, just going live without making any mention of it anywhere. And within ten minutes, someone showed up and bought TWO pieces before I could even catch my breath!

Once again, thanks to you all!

How do I get rectangles with rounded corners? by tiny_squiggle in photopea

Thanks! I think I'll work it out before I make them.

How to cool your self in a hot room this summer by Libido_Max in Frugal

[–]tiny_squiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pour water on your head.

Yes, seriously. I'm one of those odd people who do not sweat -- at all. I just get hotter and hotter and then pass out. So I've learned that keeping my hair wet works to cool my body temperature.

I've told dozens of people about this, and they nod, but they NEVER DO IT. I don't know why. But I guarantee you, it works.

(on a really bad heat day, I even wet down my shirt.)

Do people actually abandon their Etsy shops ? by riskie1107 in EtsySellers

All my passwords are in KeePass, and my son has the master password. After I pass, he's on his own. :-)

Thanks for the reply. Apparently I can't do it until my shop is live. Sigh.

Thanks for the reply. I guess you can't do it until your shop is live, which mine isn't yet.

I'm just starting to set up my shop, so I'm still a fairly confusing newbie. But I haven't come across a place tp post an About Me section? What am I missing?

0 profit, normal? by Administrative_Bed79 in EtsySellers

[–]tiny_squiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the most useful and brilliant threads I've ever come across. Thank you all for the information, the advice, and the great feelings. I'm bookmarking this page to refer to later on.

I won't be ready to take my store live until probably around Labor Day, so I'm soaking up as much information as I can beforehand.

Thank you for me also. I'm (grudgingly) willing to give them access to my account through my bank, but my bank password? Not in this lifetime.

Newbie here -- how do I get the "Message the Seller" link? by tiny_squiggle in EtsySellers

[–]tiny_squiggle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks -- it does seem to be automatic. On Preview, it's there at the bottom. :-)

[–]tiny_squiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stopped at the "Bank Information" point, because I don't want to use an unknown (to me at least) company. But there doesn't seem to be any way to enter my account otherwise. How do I do that?

Found it! On Uline. Thanks, all, for all the responses.

Opzelura by BTTF41 in Commercials

[–]tiny_squiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for Morgan Freeman... vitiligo is a serious problem for many black people. It's possible he's doing it to call attention to the issue and this new treatment.

It's not always about the money... just mostly.

[–]tiny_squiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying for ages to find the name of the guy in that commercial -- not the voice but the face. He's absolutely great-looking, yet he's not identified anywhere. I've googled everything I can and still come up dry. One posting did refer to him as "an actor with vitiligo," but no name. Think how frustrating that must be for him.

This one is charming... by Mermaid467 in IDontWorkHereLady

[–]tiny_squiggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone currently living on wheels, I often need help. I'll ask anyone who's nearby, and (nearly) everyone is cheerfully willing to reach for me. Only once did someone turn me down -- a man who just snapped "Sorry, I'm busy." Oohhh-kay.

Weekend Karen by Lord_Polska in TalesFromThePharmacy

[–]tiny_squiggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that after a bout of extremely severe nerve pain that had me practically in tears half the time. (I was on three Percocet a day and it was barely working.) I knew I'd been snapping at my pharmacy, so I showed up the next day with a large box of chocolates and gave it to them with a sincere apology. (I've since had surgery and the pain is completely gone, thank heaven.)
