Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens

[yowlsnhowls]

I believe it was Sherrand who brought up convinctions yesterday. Regardless, it got me to thinking about where we stand as sellers and how we go about working things out that will benefit ourselves and provide excellent service to others.

The easy way of going through life is doing what feels good or what someone else tells you. Some people expend a great deal of energy in their business behavior and ethics according to the most socially acceptable convinctions, ideas, and causes. What is the point of having convinctions and speaking out if you can't/won't/don't have the courage to abide by them in your day to day living? That's a weak way to go about life. More admirable is the person willing to do the hard work of developing personal boundaries. Life is not about what feels good, or what is popular, or what is easy, but what is right for yourself and others. We have to deal daily with a multitude of issues, listen and consider what others believe, but we shouldn't accept any opinion of another as the final word. Instead, we should seek answers in these matters by studying and using logical reasoning.

People often tell you that they won't take action because it's a lost cause or they don't want to be different than their own little egotistical following, but if all the people who said that would take a leap of faith and act anyway, few causes and ideals would be lost. Those who made personal convinctions and steadfastly stuck to their ideas and set their sights above what everyone else did and said are more likely to succeed in life at personal and business levels.

Bear with me a bit while I quote from one of my essays I placed on my animal web site years ago to further explain what I'm attempting to state about convinctions and standing behind them:

When people laid yards and yards of flowers in front of Buckingham Palace, their solidarity forced a Queen to break protocol for the first time in history and lower her flag out of respect to Princess Diana. One flower wouldn't have done it, but a huge mass of "lone" flowers did. Can you doubt the power of action in the face of that?

History is full of lost causes that got found by enough people. Anna Sewell wrote Black Beauty in an attempt to educate Britain about the animal abuses taking place in their country at the time. I'm sure someone told her this was a lost cause. They were wrong. And the United Kingdom is now one of the most animal-enlightened places on the planet.

Ending slavery was considered a lost cause. A unified Germany - another lost cause. Women voting, that was a certain lost cause - even a ludicrous cause. Men literally laughed in the face of that one.

If a lack of consistency in our convinctions forces a lost cause or misplaced priorities, you can be sure that it's the people saying "why bother" who are losing it.

Well everyone better get busy.

I was just browsing and there are a few farewells on the Farewells board. One store with over 2500+ listings and a few others. Also I cannot find The Pet Guy (e-pet products). I know they had more than 3000+ listings. Gone.

Well, The Pet Guy, someone FINALLY noticed.  :jrcat:

Now that I am done for the night I can  :popcorneaters:

I come here, not only for the miscreant stand up comic humor, but really for the variety of emoticons.

Yes, there is a voluptuous variety of icons.  One would almost say that the icons are iconic in nature.  Sweet, yet tangy and of course... absurd, yet... flaccid.
