Hello!...AARGH!!!...And yes, I'm starting already!!! ^_^ I turned on the computer about...well...what seems like 80 years ago!...and it was running soooooooooo sllllllllooooooooooowwwwwww! Then a box popped up...'important updates' needed to happen...18 of them!! O_O
YIKES!...So needless to say, it took a while! :-)) Now I'm back in...and hmmmm...what am I gonna talk about?! O_O Let's see......I got nothing! LOL...I had to share the beads (in the header photo) though! They caught my eye first thing this morning....first thing when I could actually go to Etsy, I mean.
Now I've got to go and get some breakfast...do some studying...etc. But I wanted to talk about something that has been on my mind lately. And no...I'm not talking about the government shutdown...Katy Perry's new 'Roar' video...or the moose that's been roaming through one of our neighborhood towns! O_O ***who knows what's up with that!! O_O This isn't moose country around here!***
No...what I wanted to talk about is Etsy's new operating procedures. As of January it appears that some new rules are gonna be in place. O_O I've seen that a LOT of Etsians are really upset about it!!
It seems that the fact that you'll be able to hire whoever you want for your shop, and even get some outside...company...help...is upsetting people...extremely so!! People are worried that our little 'handmade' community is gonna start being more like Ebay and other sites!
I'm not sure...yet...what to think about it! I mean...right now it doesn't really bother me if people out-source to a company to make the T-shirts that they use to put their 'handmade' drawings, or whatever, on!...Should it bother me?! O_O Maybe after I see what it does for Etsy searches (meaning whether my Wuglyees shop becomes invisible!), and if sales stop...more than they've already stopped I mean. Aargh!...Anyway, I think I'll have an opinion about it then! But, as of right now, I'm not understanding all of the 'hoopla' and 'jumping of ship'!! O_O
I'm more concerned that because of all of the 'fixing' of things, my shop has been offline sorta....MESSING WITH MY CUSTOMERS BEING ABLE TO FIND ME!!! Grrrrrr!....AARGH! I think if Etsy just hurries up and leaves well enough alone...we'll all be fine!...but only time will tell!
Was that what they call a 'rant'?! O_O If so....consider today's rant OVER! :-)) Proceed to the pretty Etsy hat, and autumn leaf!...
^_^ And have a good day, Everybody!...I'll be here talking about something else tomorrow....What?!....Stay tuned!! LOL

You can build a reputation,
build a fire, build a stair;
You can build a neighborhood,
build a table, build-A-Bear!
You can build a layered cake,
build some buildings, build a boat;
You can build a website business,
build relationships remote.
You can build vocabulary,
build up friendships old and new.
Build up globe-ular relations
if you really wanted to.
You can build upon your knowledge,
build a table, bridge, or train;
build a step into the future,
or just shelter from the rain.
You can build an awesome snowman,
and not waste him. Make a cone!
Or can build up folks around you,
so they never feel alone.
All this building talk,
shows the things that you can make
if you build a wordy poem...
and you also stay awake!
