Today I Feel Good Because...

[slotmaster]

Not health-wise but if nothing goes wrong I just finally sold my late father's golf clubs, Sounds like an older gentleman and he is paying an extra $25 for me to deliver which I am fine with as I do like to give good customer service if I can.

If only I can sell regularly or find a way that works to make extra money life would be great.

Delivered yesterday, no issues and 1st time out that way in a long long time Collingwood is where I had to go but not out Wasaga Beach way since I was in School.

I also supposedly made another sale (finally) on Amazon yesterday from the products I sent in!

Looking superb that mate, take it your erecting it yourself?

 

[dionysus]

pfft, no, I pay my buddy for a cut rate; i do some editing and copy work for him in trade

my skills dont surpass fixing a bent straw

 

[dionysus]

it's nothing fancy, just wanted a structure to encompass the hot tub without diminishing the view; something to complement the deck and to hang some lights on

Does the decking go all the way across? Always wanted a pagoda and decking, sadly I’ve got a bungalow, and a front garden. Don’t have a back garden, just a long path. My house is weird, was self built in world war 2 so quirky, my room is actually a bomb shelter.
Is that a hot tub also?
And you need a gas bbq, they are a must on decking mate

phew a few things here

*pergola
*just along the back of the houe ( i just went and took a pic)
* we rent, so nothing special, just to enjoy the warm weather, has to all be easily dismantled if we move, so nothing grand til we own
*if you have limited space, google 'arbor'
*veggie here, dont get much use of a BBQ, but decent fire pit
*ya, it's a hot tub

 

[Playford7]

Be great that when it’s done mate, also ‘raised’ decking is a good choice. How often do you guys get good weather? We get it about a month of the year but it’s spread out so I’ve no need for decent outdoor spaces, it’s always tidy with flowers however.
My best mate is a veggy so know how annoying you guys are when eating out or at bbq’s lol!.

 

[dionysus]

about 2 months but no guarantee ir doesnt rain all of it
sometimes by april we're out in tees and sandals even though not exacrly 'warm', just milking the weather for what its worth, but we can get some pretty blazing hot summers +100
its duo purpose...for some good summer backyarding and winter hot tub soaks

2 dogs and 2 cats here, gardens dont survive

.. the last 15 years my drugs / gamble addiction has bring me to the point i said to myself: Change or die! I go to a clinic within a few weeks to hopefully get things more under control and live a more normal life and enjoy it! This is the only personal post from me here untill now and if there are other addicts like me, i just can say, try to change!

 

[dionysus]

best of luck

That looks like a typical British back garden. I always assumed Canadianas lived in straw huts or igloos

I feel good today because i didnt feel depressed and havent got thoughts through my head of ending it.:axeman2:

I'm in suburbia so it's small by town/rural standards, big by city

before here I lived up north and there were about 40km of bush behind the house
my citiot nephews consider my yard HUGE

its not bad, there's a dtop off marsh where the dogs do their business and enough for them to have a bit of run and play

That white stuff on the ground is called snow, It's like rain in the u.k. but frozen. Our pubs are called Tim Hortons.

 

[goatwack]

We're versed in snow thankyou very much. Experts even

 

[Kroffe]

Here in sweden we call water that is frozen "ice".

Google says you call it " is "

 

[Kroffe]

Google says you call it " is "

That does sound familiar.
I ran it thru google-translate before posting so people speaking non-vikingese would understand.

 

[mina1929]

You guys make me laugh

First thing I do every morning is catch up on CM. Its better than reading the news.

Happy morning for some of us, no working today

Anyone PM’d this member to see if all is ok?.. not been online since last night

 

[mina1929]

I hope he is ok.

 

[Playford7]

I hope he is ok.

I’ve reached out via PM, if I get a response great, if not then I tried

 

[dionysus]

the player was in 3 hrs ago, not sure there's a cause for concern but no harm in the PMing to reach out

Hi all! It wasnt a cry for help, it was just a spontaneously reply.. If my english wasnt very clear, i feel a lot better than the rest of this year.. My year started with a hell of a night where i lost all my money (€1000,-), the two weeks after that night i booked back direct debits from my fixed costs, with the thought in my backhead that i always can step out of life... Well when i reached that point i couldnt take that step so, here i am. To make a long story short, its good i talk about it now and get proffesional help. If that doesnt work, then i think i not see 2021. BUT, i have hope. Im sure im not the only user here with heavy addiction problems wich affected my life in a bad way, i just told something about it. Nevertheless, my intention was not to get attention or that people get worried about it, i mean that i feel good since long time! So.... let's leave it at that !

 

[bamberfishcake]

its good i talk about it now and get proffesional help. If that doesnt work, then i think i not see 2021.

Great to hear you have opened up. If the professional help doesnt seem to work keep plugging away as not all professional help may be as professional as it could be. Theres good and bad in every job so keep finding more if it doesnt work the first time.

I should take a leaf out of your book as i typically bottle everything up and its the worse thing - to be trapped in your own negative thoughts. Talking gives perspective and helps! Always! Good for you!

Edit: I hope you didnt mind me posting as you said 'lets leave it there'. Just thought you deserved a little recognition for doing something massively good and positive. It can be so hard to change a mood, trait or lifestyle.

 

[rena35]

Today i feel good because i finally decided to limit my online time even more then i did. It's not that i am over spending i just want to enjoy a little time doing a few things on my bucket list. First nice day i am going fishing. I used to love being on the lake on warm days. I also want to go hiking . I do not think my bones and joints will allow me to hike far but i love the outdoors and have spent way too much time inside.

 

[bamberfishcake]

Maybe not but once those cobwebs have cleared you will be hiking more and more building up your strength and stamina each time.

Never done a lot of hiking but i hear shoes are very important for obvious reasons.

Get yourself some fancy boo noots and break them in around the living room with a little dancing!

 

[slotmaster]

Might have got my 1st ebay sale today!. Weird how sales come in bunches.

 

[dionysus]

6 of 1, here or what's ya weather at...
..but today I feel good because it was gloriously sunny and 6 degrees (that's tee and near-shorts weather here lol)

pulled out the e-bike and ran some errands, flung the doors and windows wide for an airing, monsters all sat around outside

just...feels good to creep out of the winter blues (and i dont do winters well lol)

already wanting to clear out the back yard and garage, though realistically, while the snow melted, dont mean we aint gonna get another blast or 3 yet...weather gets really wonky round here come March being very 'up in the air'...could be an early spring or late winter

Many a St Patrick's Day people are out in tees and sandals or parkas and freezing bits off

Got my biggest sale on Amazon as I have the buy box! I am a little giddy right now!

 

[Borgie]

Got my biggest sale on Amazon as I have the buy box! I am a little giddy right now!

Well done . I'm ignorant what is the buy box? .

 

[Kroffe]

Well done . I'm ignorant what is the buy box? .

Hello,

Every product listing has a Buy Box but not every seller has the Buy Box. The Buy Box is awarded by Amazon to the seller who has the product listed usually at the best price along with other factors such as FBA/Prime shipping offered, availability, and also the seller’s performance is taken into account so it’s a mashup of a variety of factors that wins you the Buy Box.

The Buy Box is extremely important because when a customer looks at a product listing and clicks ‘add to cart’ on the right side, it’s a sale for you rather than your competitors who also listed under the same product. It’s a huge advantage. The only way a customer will see the other offerings is if they search the product page for a small link to show all other offers and select someone else’s offering.

And yes, having the Buy Box means the same thing as winning it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I totally knew that, and did in no way just copy&paste if from another site.

Also, congrats on the buy box Slotmaster.
Seems to be quite an advantage to have one!

 

[slotmaster]

Thank you and thank you kroffe, Yes it is an advantage if you let Amazon do the shipping and you get the buy box, I just sold another one! Killing it the last week, If I sell all of this one product at the price right now I will make like $200/hr!

 

[dionysus]

Today I feel good because a nice WD and set for a friend's upcoming birthday in 2 weeks

I like to do up memorable events, so last couple included tricking out a circus tent with laser lights and fog, and another did summer in March, all beach and luau themed (and the pyjammy-jam was fun too)
This time used the win and grabbed some UV (black light) flood lights and glow in the dark paint and gonna do a glow party night - glow drinks for hot tub sipping and house dancing, some retro music

should be good fun

 

[ESCJAMIE]

"Today I feel good because"

I am alive

4 months of have bowl/stomach pain every day, Doctors not understanding whats going on, Going for Ultra sounds and now cameras inside of me, It scares me the longer the pain goes on for,

But Im alive so thats why I feel good today

 

[Jasminebed]

Oh, @ESCJAMIE , this is not what I came here to say, but I had years of getting worse, and unlucklily a surger that did not go well, but bowel life is so much better than18 years ago, while not ever day has been, I'm glad I lived to tell the tale.

Since I'm both the gal that sells the balloons, and sells pins to burst them (gotta hedge your bets), it is no treat
I like to say "I've lived to tell the tale".

Not very romantic, but the closest I ever came to dying was septic from a bowel perforation.

Tests are intrusive and just a little more than uncomfortable, and depending on who is on shift that day, a humilating experience .

I think if you have an awful tale to tell, you should endeavour to tell it with humour and hope. Except not always, cause it sucks. I came to this thread today to say something else, but it does not mean I'm not rooting for you.

 

[Jasminebed]

Several hours ago, I came here to say, I got my equalization bill for the winter. It's been mild here for winter, and I got a $185 credit instead of owining 4 o4 8 hundred dollars,

It however has been exceptionally mild, which means they will drop my monthly payment, assuming next year will be as mild as this? Even if next year is as mild as this, the increase in rates and property tax become more and more challenging each year.

 

[dionysus]

my equal billing went up

 

[slotmaster]

Shockingly just made another sale on Amazon, no not panic products. It was a shower curtain which is like my most selling product so far oddly.

I am behind on working at Amazon and Ebay cause of all that is going on but was going to try and maybe bundle a couple of things together to see if that will help in selling items and I was going to take a look around the house to see if we have anything else to sell.

I wonder if now everyone is staying in so online shopping might go up or people are out of money from buying so much supplies, I am not sure.

 

[dionysus]

today I feel good cuz my mother's such a fun-loving little old weirdo lol

they went ahead with the St Paddy's Day festivities at the nursing home; the site's on lock-down for visitors so the people, naturally are bored, lonely and house-bound

mom and the other staff deccoed the place up and wore gear and had custard eating contests (the kind where you have to faceplant in the bowl to find the 'ring' to keep the patients in stitches

havent seen the pics yet though they apparently had a blast

 

[slotmaster]

Thank you and thank you kroffe, Yes it is an advantage if you let Amazon do the shipping and you get the buy box, I just sold another one! Killing it the last week, If I sell all of this one product at the price right now I will make like $200/hr!

Just sold another one today! Don't think it will get shipped out as Amazon is only supposed to be shipping essential items so not sure how this is going to go.

If anyone is wondering why I am getting so excited about making a sale or slot hits is I don't have good stuff happen to me hardly so anytime something good happens it picks me up.

Also thank you to everyone who has messaged me offers of help and asked about and shown maybe interest in what I sell on Amazon, I will try to keep you all updated when this virus stuff calms down and I can start working on it again, The sale is already what I had at an Amazon warehouse.

Today I have received Hello Fresh

We have a couple of companies here that do that and I keep an eye on them and might try it out sometime.

They are really tasty I have tried it before, everything is so fresh. These are the meals I got:

Chicken & creamy Chive sauce with roasted potatoes and garlic
Mexican pulled burger with slaw & chipotle mayo
Chicken & corn baked quesadillas with Greek yogurt & tomato salsa
Lebanese beef & fetta meatballs with couscous tabbouleh & hummus dressing
Creamy bacon & cheese fettuccine with mushrooms & green salad

 

[Jasminebed]

Is that truly free meals, or free when you purchase so much? I am in Canada, the offers are more like purchase 8, get two free. One of my regular cabbies subscribed to a similar one, he is eating heathier and spen ding less than he did on drive.thru food.

 

[bamberfishcake]

Today I feel good because my kids are happy and healthy.

I hope you all have similar positive thoughts in these hard times

 

[rena35]

I feel good because after a rough day of chest pain and anxiety yesterday I woke up feeling better. I have never dealt with anxiety so I thought it might be coronavirus. No fever, chills, cough just a heaviness in my chest. I think I will venture out to sit on the porch and enjoy some sun before nap.
