I went through that too, right before my disappearance from WC! I love
some things about WC, but there's this weird... thing... there, where if the wrong person says the wrong thing at the wrong time, they get crucified, while on another day another person might say the same thing, and no one will bat an eye. There are a few self-declared experts who seem to have no qualms about bullying someone with an opposing viewpoint, or just generally complaining about the nature of the other users on WC. On top of it, there seems to be a mildly pervasive attitude that glasswork buyers are "other", like they're some kind of slightly antagonistic species from another planet. Whether a thread gets closed seems almost arbitrary. The dynamic really bothers me, so I'm keeping my distance and only dropping in from time to time to see the pretty stuff. It's a shame, too, because I really miss some of the people there. -Kalera Kandice Seeber wrote: Hehehehe - it's funny you say this, because at this moment, hubby is telling me I should stop reading and posting to forums and newsgroups because it's stressing me out too much.

I'm going to take the LWO (Lazy Way Out) and, when I get questions,
point them to your website! Maybe then I can head them off of asking you, and kill two birds with one stone. -Kalera Kandice Seeber wrote: Yep. I called it done when I wrote that post - pretty much, anyway. I will just point them over to the info on my website, where the ebay tips post lives forever. Now I am just complaining and whining to all of you. |

Becki, honey.....you DO know that you were my first hero in all of this Ebay
stuff, RIGHT????? Quickly followed by Sylvie Lansdowne, but you started it for me. I miss your auctions something awful. Dunno if you noticed, but I have a set on Justbeads with garnet "berries" I won from you eons ago. Funny, tonight I'm listing a set with little Sylvie spacers. Go figure. Let the record show, for everyone to see......BECKI ROCKS!!!!! KarenK "BeckiBead" wrote in message ... Kandice -- when I was selling and doing well, I got it all the time too and damn it, I got tired of telling everyone else how to run their businesses. I just quit answering most of them. It is either that, or write a book. NO USE in spending that much time on something for which one does not get paid, and does not enjoy. A heated argument or discussion is one thing, but the same **** over and over and over and over is another. Waste of time, darling. Yours.

Life is such a tricksy balance, my precious.
THAT is is, of course! The art, the skill, of taking what you need, leaving the rest, and trying to just leave so much alone. I figure about the time we get it all "right" we get called elsewhere. KarenK (sooooo very far from elsewhere, still) |

Once upon a time I'd have written it off as a "chick thing" ducking but
there are a few testosterone-clad types too who are just as bad. WC is yet another tapdance. I'm trying hard to come to terms with just being out of many and sundry "loops". Seems easier that way, sorta. Tactical note: Sticking mostly to fluff posts and the Technical forum goes a long way towards inner peace. G KarenK "Kalera Stratton" wrote in message ...

waves hands in air OMG!!! That's exactly how I feel! Bugs the
holy crap out of me. That is exactly why I never report andy post at WC, even when it really is insulting and unnecessary. I've been told several times there that I should just shut up and take it, by people who have the authority to close threads. (Not in so many words, but....) And then someone else will say something and the thread will get closed. Makes no sense at all to me. But I still post sometimes when I see a topic that I want to comment on. I know the mods are human, and WC can be a really great place to be. But I like it here so much better. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net I went through that too, right before my disappearance from WC!

LOL - the technical forum is where I once got ripped to shreads.
The fluff posts and of course, the show&tell posts are fun. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Once upon a time I'd have written it off as a "chick thing" ducking but there are a few testosterone-clad types too who are just as bad.

Now I am just complaining and whining to all of you. Thank God! (praise the lord and pass the loot!). I had padlocked your tips when you posted them, but when I came back a couple days later...they were gone! I can't figure out why the things I padlock don't stay padlocked! It's been this way ever since we upgraded to Windoze xp. I can't save anything in any news groups anymore. This time I just printed them out. I don't make many beads and don't foresee my selling them on e-bay, but I always have tons of stuff in the shop that are "no longer my style" that I need to sell off. Your tips are applicable to just about any thing one wishes to sell. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post them for everyone.
