What's happening today?

Right now Ecrater must be down as I can't get into any of my stores. They will be up later in case you wanted to check out my deals.

I have had a very bad cold for a week and a half and am finally getting so I'm not coughing my brains out now. I hope none of you have gotten it because it is not at all fun. It goes from stuffed up nose to sneezing, coughing, etc. I'm sure you get the picture. Anyway I am a lot better now.

I hope the selling season starts soon as I could really use the business. It seems like since Google changed everything again sales have been slow and gotten slower. I am showing a couple of items below that you might like to purchase for that collector in your family. Click on the title and it will take you to the item.

Got Clyde to the doctor...

Well, the pill pockets worked. Wish I would have had known about them before as the cats haven't been to the doctor for a few years due to the problem of catching them. They have ESP and know when we are going to take them to the doctor.

The doctor thinks it may be a problem with his thyroid. I was scared that it was diabetes or something. We won't know for a few days if it is a problem with his thyroid or not. Hopefully it will be easily controlled.

We still need to get our other cat to the doctor but that will have to wait. It was $200 for Clyde and when we got home our little boy, Corky, started passing out. We thought it may be epilepsy but the doctor didn't think so. We had to have another blood test and it was another $150.00. Next comes both of the dogs yearly shots which will be I don't know how much. For retirees on a budget that is quite a lot to handle. That is my biggest fear with having pets - having a big health problem that we can't financially handle.

Now that Google has messed up my business I have even more fears that we can't even handle their yearly costs. I didn't even dream that we would be worried so much about $300 or $400 for vet fees but we sure are. Of course we are in the same boat as so many other people so I guess we're in good company at least.

Well, I'm sure you have heard enough of my animal and money woes so I will just stop talking about it now.

Thanks so much for checking out my blog. Hope you have a great weekend.

If you would like to leave a comment please do. Would love to hear from you.

I am so mad I could spit nails...

Google needs to be taken down a notch. I don't know what they have against the little store seller. I am retired and need that extra amount I get each month. I am not one of the gigantic sellers who have 50,000 items. I am quite small about 2,000 items in 13 stores. I don't know how to make them see what they are doing to the people without jobs, are retired and on SS, or just someone who has a job but makes a very small amount of money.

I guess they just don't get it that this is really not the time to make it harder to make a dollar. Or maybe they just don't care. Either way they have really screwed all of us that need the income. There is certainly no way to get them to see it.

Well, if you guys are flush and want to contribute to someone who isn't check out my stores and make a small or big purchase.

Thanks so much to you all who read my little blog. I hope God is good to you and keeps you safe and happy.

I will try to write more often.

Just a quick post today.

I will be so happy when the weather gets warm. I'm starting to think it is never going to get there.

Have been really busy trying to get all my stores the way Google wants them but I don't think I will make it. Too many of my items does have upc numbers so I guess they won't get put in search. Oh well.

Be sure to check out my items by click on the picture in the widget.

When will the rules stop?

I have been frantically trying to update all my listings for the changes Google has decided it needs to show my meager listings in their search engine. I work really hard on my listings and my stores and don't really have spare time to do all this extra work. I guess I'll just have to make the time but don't know how.

You might want to check out my stores now as I may not show up after May 3rd. Hope you keep me in mind when you need that special something for your loved one.

Remember - Mother's day is coming soon.
