cgwhitfield says

Or weather related? Atmospheric changes can trigger incipient sinus stuff.

Or is that a myth?

----------

happens to me every few months! right now my sinuses are haywire!

[LauraStasa]

I'm not having sinus problems that I know of, just the 'hungover without the party' feeling. Sort of woozy/dizzy all day. I threw myself into barn cleaning for 4 hours. At least it took my mind off of it. Maybe I just need sleep.

On that note I think I'm going to make some warm milk and try for a better tomorrow.

Have a pleasant evening! I hope everyone feels better in the morning.

ETSY: "We’ve been overwhelmed by the response to Search Ads, so we decided to give sellers another day to sign up! "

MARCUS: "I like pretty flowers so I think I will dust the edge of my computer screen and take my shower one hour later than usual today!"

[kimberlybelldesigns]

LOL

[cgwhitfield]

Yes, it does have a whiff of an advertisement itself, doesn't it?

[Former_Member]

In fact, I think we should all be banned from saying anything even slightly logical for 24 hours on the thread, till 7:05 pm Sep 27, 2011 EDT

[Former_Member]

and i was kidding. everyone be as coherent as they feel the need

up for 24 hours, then 2 hour nap
feel like i am in a tiny room with a thousand crt screens screaming in my head just this side of audible threshold

be back after i shave my tongue and deal with frozen burrito and mustard sandwich i just consumed (i am celebrating 'bad decision day')

[cgwhitfield]

Aw, just when I was ready to pierce the universe with blazing logic....

[BodeesJewelry]

Why don't they just say"We're rolling in the dough, so we're giving it one more day to see just how much we can pull in!" LOL

[Former_Member]

Funny, I read it the other way: "we really didn't get all the ads we wanted, but we can't say so. Let's suppose everything is fine and dandy and leave it up for another day."

[cgwhitfield]

I'll posit another possibility - working out technical problems....

[cgwhitfield]

Has anyone figured out where the fortieth ad in a particular search appears? At four to a page I make it page 10. Does this make sense?

[Former_Member]

To me it looks like they wrote a thoughtful, honest and thorough post explaining why the thing had to be delayed for 24 hours. They then put the post in some sort of reagent bath that removes nothing but the truth. They then posted the remaining gibberish.

[lsueszabo]

lol- i think they all sound plausible. my answer: D, ALL OF THE ABOVE.

[Former_Member]

haven't spent lots of time pondering, cg, but i think that's pretty much the way it runs

[cgwhitfield]

Sue, how are you feeling for your day of, uh, rest?

[hartleystudio]

So, what if you're not in the first group to sign up? The whole thing is perplexing.

I'm sick too, what they hell is it with everyone here??? I have some weird cold thing and now all the muscles in my shoulders hurt and where my lymph nodes are feels all sore and yucky. And there is snot,...way back there where you can't do anything about it. It's been a freaking week now and it's just getting worse. Baah.

[hartleystudio]

I think we all need some sleep.

CG are you sick???

[cgwhitfield]

Ann, I seem to be as healthy as the proverbial ox. And in full harness just like an ox.

Touch wood

[lsueszabo]

i think i've got the same sort of thing ann- headache, muscle aches, sore throat.
cg- i feel simultaneously tired and antsy. haha. can't stand not doing enough. although, i did get alot of other stuff done while resting in bed :)
entered a couple shows, completely got all inventory done, caught up on correspondence, argued with my credit card company over a bill (i was right FYI), made a grocery list, read, yada yada. i can't just sit here and do nothing but feel bad- i know you're the same way. gotta stay active even in a limited way.

[Former_Member]

"And there is snot,...way back there where you can't do anything about it."

My vote for 'phrase of the week'.

[hartleystudio]

We did go to the orchard this weekend and I made oven roasted applesauce after school today. It's fabulous...if it didn't hurt so much to swallow. :(

[hartleystudio]

YEAH!! Same thing...but it's not a sore throat really, more like a sore neck...behind the ears. It's obnoxious. I even hit the inhaler the last two nights. Good times trying to fall asleep while trembling. Hate that albuterol. it's expired too, I really need a new one.

Thanks Marcus, I never win anything so I'll take "phrase of the week". :)

[cgwhitfield]

Sue, unlike you I can do nothing for short periods at least. It's not completely my choice to keep flapping my arms, if I stop I'll plummet to earth.
