Sister Sal enjoy your move, hope the new place is as special as you are and that you have a blast.

Al, good question on the Google shopping, have had the same experience when doing Google searches for my items, specific keyword entries (which most don't use I expect) bring items up to the top, but using fewer specific keywords the listings drop like stones. As Trish says hopefully Cheaver will have some ideas about this.

Cheers,

My listings for unrepaired cymbals without damage, used are the least expensive showing on google shopping. The views are very low. Notice I didn't say sales are low. With the prices I have these cymbals should have sparked quote a bit of interest. I'm not seeing the interest.

Thank you Ms. Penguin. I'll have to look into google searches more and try different keywords.

Thanks Cheaver, you really do know your stuff. Give yourself some extra fish for me.

Cheers and happy Fried Day,

A very Good Evening and Happy Fried Day!
Hope everyone is doing OK - and well done Ms Penguin for trying to help Al out with the keywords.
Nothing much to report from Richardson Towers - a boring old week.
Looking forward to next Friday - Teagan, Lucia (and their partners) and Abigail are all coming home to spend the weekend here. Yayyy!

It's awfully cold here in Suffolk - the ground is frozen solid, and it has been trying to snow all day - not flakes, little white balls like polystyrene.
The wind is enough to cut through you - oh, I'm so fed up with winter - I want sun and warmth!

Only had 3" of snow last night but traffic was a nightmare according to the news this morning. Would have been a 3 hour commute instead of 40 minutes so I decided to work from home. Dang I got more done in 3 hours then I do all day at the office!

LOL - AL.

We had a nice snow storm, I'm thinking we might have gotten 4 inches of snow. More than we have had on the ground this winter for sure. Gary was able to light the pit and we have it burned down. Now we need to fix the bull dozer so we can put the dirt back.

We worked at the house yesterday due to the cold and we have a lot of computer work to do. I've had to remind myself several times today that it is Fried Day and not Saturday. It's not nice to fool elderly ladies. It could be nice however, to fool with elderly ladies. I got some things sorted and reboxed and that was nice. We now have 2689 part numbers listed on the web site, including the pictures of the little boys and their tractors.

I will probably have to venture into the city tomorrow for some groceries. I need fresh milk and only have 1 loaf of bread left. That shoots the heck out of the day. It's supposed to be in the 40's though, so it won't be too bad.

Hi everyone
Welcome to the Cocktail Lounge Hurry, that's a great photo! Your little one seems unfazed and laid back or maybe just dumbstruck at your visitor!
Al nice to see your wares
Good luck with that. Yes Ms Penguin is a star.
Regarding my moving it's a bit of a case of all dressed up and nowhere to go, or all packed up ( NOT!) and nowhere to go (yet) bit scary to be honest. I've been in some deep doodah before but this one is rather sticky at present to say the least. Or maybe it's just cos Im getting older. Haha (yikes!) I am supposed to be out by the end of March and a few months after that it's my daughters wedding , another 'slight distraction' to worry about!
Anyhow I have the guitar beside me if all else fails, including me lol
I need to seriously get stuck into some packing today, hardly done any yet, though have got rid of a few things.
I have been putting out feelers, the France thing may happen (been up to see my friend about that and it's all there if I want it) but I will probably go somewhere else first, as need to check it out and sort it out first, plus they aren''t moving there for good till probably around a year. Ive also been checking out Pembrokeshire so will keep you posted.
As for settling Al, I'm sure there is a gypsy in the blood! I've never stayed in one place for a long time. Brecon was the longest (around 12 years) but even there had a few moves too.
Visited my family and looked after my Dad who did not know who I was. I think he thought I was his wife :-/ When it came to helping him dress and undress that was awkward to say the least but I had to leave him to do some of the bits himself Im afraid (under instruction)
I managed to get him to understand and remember a few things though by the last day when his wife returned. I reminded him I was his daughter, and he suddenly seemed to get it more then. Also whilst I was there I took some photos of his old traction engine to show him. That worked really well. I started off by doing a jigsaw oif a traction engine, encouraging him to join in. Then he started to think and said he thought he used to own one. He seemed a little unsure. I said excitedly, that's right you did Dad and procceeded to remind him of the name of it and other details, then producing the photos. That really spurred him on then and he started adding his own bits of memories and was really pleased and happy. It is so sad to see what this awful condition does to great minds and people though.
Anyway time for coffee a song and some work, its blerdy freezing here too ar Trish an all! Hope you are a bit warmer and more comfortable across the waters Al, Sue, and Wyo (also Hurry)

Good luck Sal take it one day at a time.

Ditto that Sal - I hope you get settled soon

Love the photo Randa!

Al - enjoy your visit, hope the knuckleheads behave while you're gone.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend folks, and stay warm

[suesjools]

Hey Sister Sal, glad you had a good visit with Dad, I'm sure he enjoyed it. Love the new avatar, you are truly gorgeous and that's no BS, (guess who got the looks in the family, not me, LOL).

I'm sure you'll find your feet, hope you can go to France, it sounded lovely to me. Of course I've always wanted to visit France and Dublin, too, have ancestors from both areas and the pix I've seen only make me more eager to go. I hear ya on the gypsy thing, moved a fair bit myself over the years, first all over NY then to PA then down here to NC and likely back to NY again someday, though my sis says the weather there is pretty nasty lately. Rainy and colder here, supposed to see some sun today but nothing yet, apparently it decided to stay in bed a bit longer. Mom, Dad and I are all recovering from a bad cold, knock wood it's going away, slowly but surely.

Al have fun with Quentin and be sure to take pix.

Cheers and happy rockin' Saturday,
