Due to unexpected medical issues I hope to return by Spring with a fresh closet, a fresher outlook and to Posh full time. I'm checking in often and hopefully you'll understand and be here when I return! Thank you so much, my pff's, and you know who you are!๐ for your continued support and to my newer followers, I look forward to Poshing with you! Just FYI..Young elephants lay face down like this as a toddler temper tantrum! We've all been there!It's only funny when they're not yours!

Thanks for all the shares hope to see u around ๐

@sassafras19 & they say women are bad drivers- HA! Every time- & I mean every stinkin time a car rolls by me while I'm in the Middle of the road, stop sign held high, it's a dude. The women give me dirty looks for messing up their to the second schedule- but they stop by golly! Last week a dude came so close I could have booped his nose, this morning another just looked right at me when I yelled "Really???" right in his face- no oops-sorry-my bad... TGIF!
elliejo503
@peppedup Are u a crossing guard?
peppedup
@elliejo503 nope- just enjoy standing in the road with a stop sign hahahahaha! j/k Yeah, it's 1 of my many part time gigs, I get a kick out of the little hooligans :)
elliejo503
@hahaha I thought that was you the other day just getting all of us drivers PO'd atcha!! Seriously though just be careful. 2 days ago a 72 year old guard was hit and .....ya know. Reckless driver they said....Thanks for taking care of the kiddos, we need peeps like you in this cruel world. :) @peppedup
peppedup
@elliejo503 omgoodness- that's terrible! If anyone hits me they better hope to knock me out- cuz if I can move at ALL I will be beating the driver with my stop sign. I have pretty good back up tho, we're city employees, work under the chief of police, he has patrol cars cruising as much as possible.. I admit to giggling at the 3-4 tickets I see being written some mornings ;)
elliejo503
@Right, the speed limit here is 5 mph in school zones and man the po po are right there....which is a good thing. I remember the neighbor lady hit a kid when I was a kid and it was terrible, just bad. Luckily no serious injuries and the kid was j walking. I was a crossing guard in 6th grade and got yelled at by a driver for stopping him to let 3 kids cross. I will never forget that! I used to take my stop sign and sing "STOP in the Name of Love" by Diana.....those were fun times!!
elliejo503
@peppedup ^^^forgot to tag
peppedup
@elliejo503 lol, I'm fairly intimidating- tall, got a great rbf & always have my shades on ;) no sweet little old lady here! Maybe that's why they try to run me over instead of yelling? The kiddos know I'm a softie when it comes to them tho..
sassafras19

savannah_slim
Good for you taking some time, just glad you are still here and going to chat with us! โค๏ธ๐พ๐๐ฟ๐๐พโค๏ธ
savannah_slim
Want me to take you off some of these tag lists for a while?
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Hey! You're back! No, I'm still checking in here and there but I appreciate it! I'm already missing everyone so bad but I know I have to just have some time out. Things that shouldn't have been such a big deal just got to be a big deal. Make sense? I found that I was doing twice the work and being tied to this iPad like an umbilical cord. My hubs response when I told him of my temp sabbatical? GOOD! Hope you're not upset with me. I knew you were out of town with limited wifi.
savannah_slim
You just chill girl, no one upset with you here! You don't have to do the share tag things to be on here, I have friends who just list stuff on here and wait for a sale. I am reassessing how I do stuff here too, with all the effort in packaging and stress of getting scammed, it's not worth it to sell stuff for less then 15-20$. Crazy thing, I raised my prices and started to get sales, what's up with that?
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Thanks! ๐โค๏ธ Really? How strange. I was doing double the work. I was following who was following me, vetting their closet then sharing their closet.then I was kicking myself for all that work and sharing for nada. I'm an admitted over sharer but this was ridiculous. Had the same people notify me they were following daily with one share...knowing I would over share back. What happened to doing the right thing? Two of the biggest offenders was someone in my share Group!
savannah_slim
Yeah, the one sharers, now if I am in my feed I just do the 1 share back to them as well, I try not to over share back anymore unless I know they share back as well. You would think over sharing would help, but it just seems to bring out share moochers! I find just self sharing my stuff to the whole feed a few times a day and then sharing the last parties HPs gets better share backs then going through my feed.
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Ooooh! There's a reply button! Woohoo! Easy Peasy! Yes, it's a lot of work for little gratification. Offer $10 for a $129 dress. Don't know what I was thinking but I was like I DO NOT have to give this stuff away! Maybe we could brainstorm and find an easier, more productive way of doing things because there HAS to be a better way. The bundles I've had have all been full price, no ?s asked. Higher prices = more sales?
gr8look
Happy Sunday! Have a nice week ahead!
sassafras19
@gr8look Thanks so,much and you the same! Hope to be back soon! Miss my pff's!
savannah_slim
It is crazy, but I noticed the closets with a lot of sales have much higher prices, another thing I noticed was the mystery boxes they sell, like 3-4 items in a certain size, people seem to love them, and they don't even give a pic of the items or description...talk about an easy listing to make. I did a pre made bundle once of 2 tops and it sold quick, I think I will try more of those as well. U r right, has to be some easier ways, and I think we can find them!๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim hmmm. Interesting. I used to subscribe to Boxycharm and Ipsy...makeup samples that they choose for you. Finally gave it up but it was fun, like opening Christmas gifts! I've wondered about those and if the buyer would be satisfied? II find something I like I look around for something to bundle it with. I think we need to find successful closets and do some digging. Is it presentation? A lot of product or less is more? I know some of it is name recognition.
savannah_slim
Somehow I don't think a lot of people understand the whole bundle thing, and yeah, people mention it being like a Christmas present, I think they usually list the size and the brand(s) in the box. When I see a closet with interesting bundling or love notes given I'll tag you in them. I usually look at closets with a lot of followers and 100+ notes given, the party hosts and SU recommendations list is where I find those closets usually.
sassafras19
@savannah_slim what's your reaction to a never ending closet? I'm overwhelmed and leave. What draws your attention immediately? Mine is clean, uncluttered. Really dislike the notices that take up the first two rows. I was guilty. Too descriptive? Guilty. Not enough? Measurements? I do them to save time later. Color coordinated? Impressive but realistic? Lower bundle discounts? Outfits already put together like on mannequins at the store...how to wear it? We need to do some recon!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim sounds good.,I'll try some at my end. I don't know if this means anything other than trying to justify it to myself, but I had a great closet with fair, if not too low, priced items and I did over 100k shares, less than one day shipping and 5 stars. I just don't know what else I could have done. I just got sick of looking at the same things every day!
savannah_slim
Yeah, I don't like when you can't realistically scroll through the whole available closet, and I hate when you can not decipher if a listing is for sale or what in it is for sale and when all those top listings are filler ( unless there is nothing for sale then okay). I noticed that the top closets have at most 2 lines of descriptions which made me stop spending all that time making them, same with title simplicity.
savannah_slim
I usually only put measurements on pants inseams, and I think that putting other items in to give a style suggestion is good (as long as can tell what is for sale), but have also noticed people just posting the item folded with a cup of coffee or keys next to it and they sell like crazy. The bundle amount, I have 20% on 2+ which with the saved shipping can basically give you another item free and people don't seem to get/understand that, so who knows?
savannah_slim
Somehow I don't think the average buyer reads much of the notices or descriptions and the simpler, grab you advertising is most effective...but finding that phrase/image is elusive to me. But I agree more investigation is needed. I think too low prices some people won't even look at, I think 'I just want to sell this' and they think 'oh they can't even give this away'.
savannah_slim
With the sharing of other closets, not sure best strategy, right now I am going to the general feed and sharing items that were just self shared b/c I know that person is actively on there, I seem to get a fair amount out of that and when I self share, so right now I am doing that plus the closets I know, which one already has a good sharing history with. Headed out today till December so will be perfect time for some behind the scenes recon, let u know what I find!๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Fantastic info! Enjoy your time away! You're the best! ๐ Mr. itty Bitty made it back, safe and sound! He loved staying with you.
savannah_slim
So glad! I was getting worried about him, we had some great times and I'll miss him๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim and he feels the same! Should you need...never hesitate to ask! He told me all about using your slipper, he teared up a bit while relating it, and said that's when he knew you were lovely and he just had to stay. Perhaps an impromptu visit might be in order as winter comes in. It can be awfully harsh for a squirrel.
savannah_slim
Well I recommend he visit us in Alabama on the farm, the squirrels there are much more laid back, in fact there was one in our sweet gum tree just dropped over a limb with legs dangling off the sides for hours, I thought he had died up there so we got the water hose to get him down, blasted the little sucker 3 times before he woke up. Talk about no stress, we put so much food out for the ducks, geese, birds, that the squirrels have it made๐ฟ๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim oh I laughed out loud! Isn't that funny?! That would be living the life! Perhaps I'll send him earlier than later...he deserves a little vacation. The time spent in Savannah he was working the entire time. If you're there until December maybe I will. Get the poor gent on a train. Frowned upon to take the plane and by foot takes forever. He'll love it! I'll pack his swimsuit.,๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฉ๐ถ
savannah_slim
Sweet! I should hopefully be there by next week Wednesday, but he could go early and have the place to himself...keep an eye on the pool guy for us! :-)
poshinaustin
@sassafras19 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend my friend!!๐๐๐
sassafras19
@poshinaustin Hi Courtney! Happy Holiday! I think I gained another size yesterday! Was checking out your closet for new things to go with my new size but I didn't see one sized You Can Still Eat Pie and Wear Me, Too!
poshinaustin
@sassafras19 ๐ Yes how glorious the pie was yesterday but how nice my leggings and moomoo feel today. ๐๐ค
sassafras19
@poshinaustin Hahahaaaaaaa! That's great! I'm still in pj's and may just stay that way!
poshinaustin
@sassafras19 Why not?! And maybe just a little pie for breakfast ๐ฌ
sassafras19
@poshinaustin whispering....I already did! Great minds...
sassafras19
@rockbirdmarket Well, hello lovely! Thanks for the well wishes! Dealing with a few medical issues I'd rather not be dealing with but gotta take it as it comes! Hope the holiday was great for you and your family! I know moving can be so stressful. How's it coming? I've heard sales have been slow but hopefully not for your beautiful closet! โค๏ธ๐๐ค
sassafras19
@rockbirdmarket Happy you've found a niche for your items outside of Posh! Rest? Am trying! Trying to decide should I have another back surgery or just try to be better to myself and slow down. Thinking the latter! Big hug to you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to welcome me to posh and for all of the shares even though it seems you're on vacay โค๏ธ๐ I can totally see how this app can become engulfing but yet provide such a wonderful community of lovely people.

That's wonderful that ur taking some time off. Not for me, bc I love admiring ur closet!๐๐๐ Just need to get back on the "I can shop" track! Lol! Last time I took a break it lasted 3 years! So please don't stay gone that long! Lol. I know everyone needs to take a step back at times. This time of year can be a blessing & a curse. I'm here so lmk if you feel like chatting or need anything. ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐~Suzanne
sassafras19
@hismrs Hi Suzanne! Thank you so much for checking in! I try to stay somewhat visible! I so appreciate your kind words. I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing at first but a break has been exactly what I needed for a variety of reasons. I need to find a better way to balance Posh and home life. I'm hoping to be back before Christmas. Posh โค๏ธsent your way for being so thoughtful and kind!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Happy Tuesday Lori, hope you are feeling better!๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Morning! Lying low and resting has been a great relief. just feel like such a lump! Trouble is, the more free time I have the more I like it! I'm one of those people that needs structure. That's why I loved to work. It's too easy to make a plan, get up in the morning and say Nah, not today. So if I can get this to a calmer level I'll start working on new listings. Are you getting hit with the storm they said was headed your way? I hope not. You've had more than your share.โค๏ธ
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Yes, I hate a time table, my husband goes nuts if he doesn't get to something early, me, I was always the one coming in to class late, I get things done right but I like to do it on my own schedule making sure every detail is in place. Has been raining since yesterday, now waiting for a lull to make a post office/grocery run, not too bad though no lightning or strong winds so I can deal with that!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim so glad to hear you're not being inundated with rain and winds again. You've been through enough! Funny, what you describe is me at home. I'll get it done but my way and hopefully without interruption. But when I was working, I always had stat reports, evals and schedules done long before they were due. I don't do well with leaving things to the last minute. I'm the keeper of the keys here at home to maintain order!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim I'll keep my eyes open for a little communion dress, too. Size? That pic is way too cute! Mary Jane shoes and anklets, always a pair of white gloves and a little hat! Oh, and a little purse! My daughter started with a purse at about 2 1/2, always carried one. My papaw used to give her dollar bills and showed her how they had to be in order and wrapped! I made many trips back to the store to go find her "pocketbook" as she called it!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 The main thing we are still looking for is the white shoes for her, size 2 - 2 1/2? though they are worried she may out grow it before spring, she is like a cute little weedโบ๏ธ When they get here in 2 weeks I am going to investigate that size better. Did you see the 12 hours of parties they had for Posh's 5th birthday?They had unlimited HPs, there were so many I couldn't even keep up scrolling through all of them, then the next party would start, pure madness!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim will keep my eyes open...may have to buy 2 sizes. At that age they grow during the dark hours! But so cute! I wasn't on during the "everybody gets an HP" day. Rims for your car? YOU get an HP! Sorta like Oprah...YOU get a car and YOU get a car and YOU get a car. Absolutely ridiculous. For me, they mean nothing other than you know the host or you're not embarrassed to sidle up to one. When I'm back, I'm going to sell ONLY. An HP has never made a difference in sales.
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Yes! Have only sold 1 item I think b/c of a HP as it occurred almost simultaneously. Now I just send out my party lists b/c I feel bad to the Poshers I tag as they always thank me๐ฌ once in the wheel hard to get out. When we finally sell this house I will be so busy will have to bow out. We will be undergoing a major renovation then that will probably take a few years, but I will have better picture taking facilities so will concentrate on listing all my stuff then.
sassafras19
@savannah_slim your Savannah home? Are you going to live permanently at the farm? Ohhhh, I don't want to see you go! But I certainly understand. Priorities. And I absolutely understand the wheel. I suppose I just don't want to dive that deep. I'm so tired of the whining. Rosanna is now Eyeore. I can't take it. Brings everyone down.For what? Used clothing?! When the time comes for you to exit I would really like to stay in email contact...me and Mr. Itty Bitty have grown quite fond of you!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 No, I want to still keep my closet and list things, you don't know the depths of my closet (or my poor husband who I buy for), but I will back off the tagging and lists. We will use the farm as a base but will travel more. I definitely want to stay in touch if either of us drops out though! Wow, didn't realize the drama, if it got too stressful I would just stop, but I like my little storeโบ๏ธ
sassafras19
@savannah_slim I just don't do well with drama! I'm not into confrontation so I just sit back. I liked my little store, too! So nice you're able to travel!
savannah_slim
Haha, can't wait to be able to travel for fun instead of obligations. Though most people wouldn't call hoofing it on nature trails and digging for fossils fun, but it is what we live for, I soooo want to hit up the Dakotas, almost made it 7 years ago on a road trip west (last vacation we took) but it started snowing in Wyoming and even I don't think camping in that weather fun!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim That sounds like a GREAT way to spend your time! My husband and I love history! And I find fossils fascinating. It's my dream to go to Egypt and, if nothing else, take days to go through the museums. I'm in awe of Dr. Hawass, former director of Antiquities! We turned our cable a few years ago and the only things I miss are the History, Nat Geo, NatGeo Wild, and the Military History channels. Lucky you! And yes, I agree! Camping in snow is no way to camp! That's hotel weather!
savannah_slim
We never had cable till 3 years ago (got it here for when my mom would stay with us) and let me tell you, you are not missing anything, history channel has devolved into ancient aliens and "historical" (I use that term loosely) reenactments, the Smithsonian channel is the only one that occasionally doesn't use some type of spin. I do like TCM for movies from the 30s and 40s. Got my minor in anthropology and archeologist was my dream job, well at least I have insight, sniff.๐ข
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Ahh, disappointing to hear. Our tv doesn't go on until Wheel of Fortune ๐ฑ eww and Jeopardy ๐ค. Then it either goes off, to Andy Griffith or Big Bang Theory.I do, sooooometimes, watch the Justice channel. The stupid things people are willing to go to jail for is simply amazing. Going to jail has always been one of my irrational fears. I've never been involved in anything that would even remotely get me there...just fear. Little girls like me dot do well in prison! ๐ณ
savannah_slim
Lol, seems for some it is a life style... 3 squares a day, can't beat that! An acquaintance (small town you know everyone) from my husbands HS always was getting in trouble, he had the option of jail vs community service, chose jail saying it was nice to just lounge around and that he wasn't picking up trash on the side of the road...what!?!?
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Yep, that's the attitude anymore. Why work? Work? What's that? My daughter has been in and out of jail multiple times and violated her probation every time. It was like a girls club! They braided each other's hair, bought KoolAid to use as lip stain...unbelievable! She has mental health problems and is noncompliant with her meds. But there's no fear there.
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 I cant imagine, that must have been so stressful to have to go through that. Crazy our prisons are bursting at the seams yet funding keeps getting cut for mental health facilities. So sad.
sassafras19
@savannah_slim When Reagan closed the state mental health facilities our homeless, drug addicted, mental health issues and crime all skyrocketed. They literally just put these folks on the street and said See ya later. No support systems in place, no idea how to get an appt to GET a support system. These poor folks figured out that if you say you're suicidal or homicidal with a plan that it gets you off the street for 72 hours. But...then it begins all over. Very sad.
sassafras19
@savannah_slim We have, unfortunately but understandably, become a nation that cares for and offers aid to other nations but we aren't able to take care of our own. The mental illness goes untreated, if you're elderly you have to decide what to get...food or medicine? Cat food and noodles and I'm not even kidding you. I could preach all day, especially about how we take care of or rather don't take care of our elderly.

@sassafras19 Happy New Year Lori!!๐๐พ๐. I hope you are feeling better-from your medical issues- & will be ready to return to Posh!!๐๐๐ค I was scrolling thru a few of my listings in my closet & noticed you left me a message months ago about being a nurse! I thought when u first asked about the rings that we had spoke before, but I couldn't remember for sure! That's why u understand the work hours!๐
gallery_of_gems
@sassafras19 With your years in the ER I'm sure you have tons of great stories!!๐๐. My niece is a Nurse in the ER, & Holiday dinner topics with my in-laws (as my sister in law & mother in law are Nurses too) at some point always end up focused on "So what have people had stuck up their butt lately that brought them in?!!!" We see some pretty crazy stuff huh!!๐ Always a good topic! LOL
sassafras19
@rnicu00 Hi Krissy! Happy New Year! I laughed out loud! Yes, we've seen more than any one person ought to! I could list the most bizarre things people have "fallen on in the shower" or were "trying to make it last longer"! Also guilty of talking at the family dinner table talking about the things you talked about at work for lunch...only to see mouths hanging open or green faces! Heeheeheeeeee! Fun! People always want to hear stories. Got a million of em!

Popping in to say Happy New Year! Family staying longer and kids shared some wicked viruses but hope to be back next week. Hope you are healing up nicely and cant wait to get home and open my mail!!! :-)

@sallyvannuys Hi Sally! Yay! Somebody close by! I'm so happy you took the time to tag me! Yes, Posh is a lot of fun and rewarding but it can also consume a lot of time. I'm hoping to return with an easier, less time approach. Be sure to shoot me a message when you think of it and...have time! I'm actually in Sheffield but the mail has to go to the Lorain zip or we never see our mail! ๐ค
sassafras19
@sallyvannuys My sister in law teaches at Durling Middle School. We're not far away at all! Yes, it's an obsession! I sold last summer into fall but I found I was Poshing 18 hours a day and not really seeing a significant difference. I'll be changing that when I return as my family was feeling ignored...well, the hubs said that. The dog just nodded her head along with him when asked!

Please don't worry about writing, I just wanted to make sure we had contacts in case the world ends or other such shenanigans occure๐ But feel free to use the email if u don't feel like posting here. Things going crazy this end and had a small nibble on the house, it put me in an optimistic mood to pack up more stuff so hopefully we will reel one in soon! โค๏ธโค๏ธDon't work too hard!๐โจ๐โจ
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Oh, I'm not workin hard but YOU are! Hope you get an offer soon so you can get settled. It's so difficult to show a house with all your personal belongings there but, unless you rent a pod or something, there's no choice. They say bake cookies just before the open house and leave them out. Makes folks feel warm and homey and they look at your house differently. Makes sense to me, anyway!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Haha, heard that too! I actually have cookies in the freezer that have been there like 4 months waiting for their opportunity but the viewings always seem to happen when we are out! This Saturday it looks like I might get a chance to try them out though๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Awesome! Fresh flowers and the smell of warm cookies! Best make up the guest bed but have it folded down neatly lest someone feels so at home they want to take a nap!

sassafras19
@savannah_slim A few more tests. They found enlarged lymph nodes in my chest, inadvertently. I see a Pulmonary doc next Thursday so hopefully can get this part over! I'm ready! Yes, we miss him, too but he's where he needs to be! He loves it there! What a fortunate little one...love all around! โค๏ธโค๏ธI know you take such good care of him! ๐ฟ Did you have any damage from that huge storm? You guys just cannot get a break.
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Wow, YOU can't get a break! One goes looking for one thing and finds 5 other things๐ค, hope it all gets resolved soon. Those storms went through here, the farm, and Tampa, but all the tornados , although close, missed us. We lost a really old oak tree at the farm and it knocked one of our wildlife feeders down, but otherwise no damage. Yeah, I call the 3 places our Bermuda Triangle b/c of all the constant crazy weather!๐ช๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim oh my go she, it sounds like the Bermuda Triangle! If that's all the damage you had then you're very fortunate! The pictures were horrible and some lost everything, including loved ones. It's been so crazy...not a typical winter at all. We usually have mounds of snow on either side of the drive by this time. We've had one measurable snow. That's it. It's cold, tho!

@sassafras19 Well hopefully the snow isn't waiting to come down all at once๐ฌ Don't envy the cold, I wear my hat and gloves in the house if it drops below 40 and my husband finds it hilarious, he doesn't even own a jacket, it is like he is impervious to the coldโ
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Aww, that's cause he's a MAN! Don't you know? They admit to nothing! I wear either my tattered bathrobe over my clothes or a ratty sweater that was my dads ALL THE TIME! He says Aren't you embarrassed to open the front door with that on? This old thing? Of course not! I stay cold as we have baseboard electric on a slab. It's never warm in here. I wear my house slippers every day, too!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 I know, my most favourite things are a smidge tattered, I mean that is how they get to be favourites, right? We have central air, but I hate how dry it gets, and since it makes my husband happy and I don't disintegrate in to a pile of flakes, I just put on the layers, sometimes looks like I'm off to an arctic expedition, lol, in Georgiaโ๏ธ
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Hee heeee! All good with the tatters....so much more comfortable! I guess the only time it would become a problem would be if you wear them out to say, Target. Might be mistaken for a bag lady wearing all her worldly goods! Ohhh, maybe you wouldn't get any strange looks at Walmart! I'm not an air conditioner person, either but it's good when it's so humid. Makes my bones hurt. I'm too young for that!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 I can't stand cold air blowing on my bare skin, I will turn on the a/c in the car if hot and then put a long sleeved shirt/hoodie on, my husbands like, if it's cold just turn it off! He marvels at all my many rituals, but I tell you, there are nuances to everything๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim We're exactly the same about a/c! I do the same thing! That's what I meant about making my bones hurt! It really does really hurt! I take a sweater or cardigan everywhere I go, even if it's 80 degrees! I have them in every color, length and weight! I kept a blanket at my work desk. This summer it was so humid the air was on all the time. I wore sweats and socks all summer...looked like a nut at the mailbox! ๐๐
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Haha, yeah, if I wear sandals I always bring socks with me in the car, hey I think funky colored socks look great with sandals, right?๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim But of course! And there are toe socks in case you're wearing flip flops! I will usually take another pair of shoes and socks when I'm wearing sandals or flips. Always prepared for a/c and cooler night weather. We always go to a 4th of July party that's blister hot during the day but when it gets dark I change into pants, sweatshirt, tennies with socks and a jacket. Then I go sit by the bonfire! Better prepared than cold.
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Absolutly! I always bring my backpack with emergency items when we go anywhere, clothes, snacks, water, sunblock, flashlight...I always get the "what is taking you so long?" But more than once I have saved the day, lol, people are like "what do you have in there?" ...everything, including the kitchen sink buddy!๐
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Hope you are having an awesome weekend! It has been crickets over here in my closet, I may have to try to list something new, even without having any lamps in this place, just to rustle up some action.
lucksterlw
@sassafras19 YES Lori this is exactly how I have been feeling! Too Cute!๐๐๐๐โ๏ธ
sassafras19
@lucksterlw Awww, I'm sorry you're feeling like this, I know the feeling all too well ... although it made ME feel better! And hope it has for you, too! There's an additional picture of a better days right beside it...hopefully that will help you, too! Gotta love em!
lucksterlw
@sassafras19 Yes I saw him! I will get over it! This just made me laugh!๐๐๐
sassafras19
@lucksterlw I'm happy he made you laugh! Sometimes we get so bogged down in the every day things that are the undeniable "have to's" that we forget to take a breath of our own. I have been away from Posh for a few months now. My husband and dog were feeling neglected but I didn't notice. I was too busy Poshing. Now, planning on coming back, I will Posh in an entirely different way. I hope you, too, are able to find what makes you happy and at peace with yourself. ๐ค๐ค
lucksterlw
@sassafras19 Aww Lori sounds like a good plan. Let me know when you start back so I can share your closet and thank you again for sharing for me!๐๐๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Hey there! From what I've heard, it's crickets everywhere. Holiday credit cards rolling in that bring blame, guilt and bad feelings, cabin fever, who knows? Yes, let's see what Poshing in the dark looks like, lit only with a flashlight or some candles! Make it a game...if you can figure this out, make one purchase and your name goes in the jar. The first pulled correct guess gets a free item! (Of your choosing of course,) whatcha think?
sassafras19
@lucksterlw Aww, you are too sweet! I will be happy to share your closet! Drop in once and awhile! I should be starting to load some things by mid next week!
lucksterlw
@sassafras19 ๐๐๐๐๐๐
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Sounds good, it would be a really mystery box...a mystery for me and the buyer!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim yep, it would! And it could go either way....lovin one another or threatening a lawsuit! Even a box priced at $15 scares me off and especially if I look in their closet! Mmm, bar of soap, shampoo, toothpaste and a brush, a loofah, sponge, a bath fizzy, great smelling for the tub and finally lavender p
Or pourri. Now THAT would be a great Mystery box! ORRR! It could be your spa set up for the bathroom to.sell! Every girl wants one of these! I do!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Haha! You forgot the vajay-jay strengthen cream and used breast pump... It would end up being a mystery box for the trash collector too!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim hee heee heeeee! Gotcha! You never fail to amaze me! I would never have said that you would write vajajay cream! Oh, Nicole, you are so much fun! Ask Mr. itty Bitty, he sometimes can offer up pretty good suggestions as he's world traveled, you know. Sometimes those European influences can be quite good! Are you drying out?
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 LoL, not from my closet!๐
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 I am almost scared to look too far into some closets now, the first sign of contraband and I am out of there before the skelegators (my nephew's word) jump out๐๐๐ป
sassafras19
@savannah_slim I hear your nephew. think he's got it right! If you called contraband on every closet, there may be a dozen, people we know, who are deficiency free! . I told you I sent an email to,support about it. Crickets. And telling the seller is a death sentence. I just report as I go, usually one or two items to go to Support and then I move on. That's what I WAS doing and it sucked my time down The White Rabbits Hole. No more for me!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim I'll tell you another big burn...that has NOTHING PERTAINING TO YOU. I OPEN UP EVERYTHING YOU SEND ME!!!! But these share games are becoming such a pain in my ***! Look, I've got almost 25000 shares and I have NEVER begged strangers to give me any more. Get me to 5K, are you really working your closet or depending upon others to do it for you? And I see the same faces everywhere. "This is my fifth follow game!" Ugh, please.
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 yeah, I joining the FGs but only sharing a few, and I just joined like 3 FGs on the same person, I thought I had already joined their game now here is another, jeez, just have a closet with only FG listings, nothing actually for sale, not quite seeing the point of that๐ค
sassafras19
@savannah_slim I agree. I think I'm going to have to be a bit more selective with these. Somehow, if you buy from someone they add you to their tag list. I'm on probably 15, dead serious. While I KNOW you vet them before you share, I know these are not. I do the first two rows then move on. I just can't help it. And the begging to come back and do it again. Just tired...whatever happened to earning your way? And being proud of it? I just don't know.
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 I Know, it is too much work for I am not sure what, and recently I have also had a bunch of people add me to their tag lists, but I just don't respond and hopefully I'll just get dropped off eventually once they realise they should ask if people want to be on the tag list, classic newbie move๐
sassafras19
@savannah_slimWell, did some digging. The data shows that follow and share games have no impact whatsoever on your sales. The recommendation is to focus on your news feed for people that are active and are actively sharing. Goal is 500 shares a day/accumulate as many new Poshers as you can and share your own closet 3-5 times a day.Think I'm going to try this. If you are continuing to tag for follow games YOU will be the only one I'm following!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim OK, I counted! Over 30 FG notices, does not include follow ups, individuals asking you to come back, etc in the past 24 hours! I've just resigned from all of it.
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 What only 30!?! Girl you should have 3 devices going at once, lol! Kidding, I think it is a great idea to not get all those notifications, you don't have to monitor it all the time to make sure you don't miss comments from potential customers. Once we sell the house I think I am going to opt out too since it will be months before I have any stability again.
gr8look
Looking forward to your return! Have a great time off!
sassafras19
@gr8look Hi,Teresa! It's people like YOU that make we want to come back. Yeah yeah....there's the problem of "the stuff" as I like to call it (makes me feel like the mess seems like it belongs to someone else!) but I could just as easily park the car under the window and pitch it all into the trunk! But nah...I have met such great, positive and caring women...where else can you find that? Comin back, slow but sure! OH! I could call that show Hoarders!! Hey......๐๐ณ๐๐
gr8look
So funny! I feel the same way some days! I like to think if it as a hobby instead of a shopping compulsion! Sounds so much better, right!? I'm glad you'll be back! I agree, I've met so many nice ladies on posh, like you!๐ it's a fun hobby! Take care my friend! So nice to hear from you! Happy Saturday!
realdeal217
@sassafras19 Sending you lots of Posh love! โค Thank you for all of the generous shares! Sending you good vibes and the power of positive thinking as you prepare for your FT Poshing! I can't wait to see what you have in store! โค๏ธ
sassafras19
@realdeal217 Aww, aren't you sweet? Thanks so much and it's always a pleasure to share lovely, compliant closets such as yours! โค๏ธ๐ค

@sassafras19 Hahahahahahaha Image one couldn't be better! ๐คฃ
sassafras19
@leoninus Hi! IKR, it's adorable! Couldn't resist! Hope all is well with you!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 We only yesterday officiall signed the sale, I asked the agent if we wouldnt end up not knowing if the sale was for sure until the day we were to move out, she said of course not...well wouldnt you know it, glad we proactively moved everything! Now cleaning, unfinished wood is the hardest thing to remove cobwebs from, thankfully we made everything including the ceilings out of it...hang me now!!!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Wow! Certainly am glad you're an over achiever! Can you imagine having to move it all now? Phew! Just think, once cleaning is done, and I'm positive it's not much, just moving dust, you can walk away and not look back and begin to settle into your new home/farm! Are you going to be keeping your animals? Mr. Itty Bitty is surprisingly knowledge.able about animal husbandry. Not sure where he picked that up??
sassafras19
@gr8look Happy Monday!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Haha, just imagine 10 years of muddy red clay trecked in by kids and dogs, sliding doors left open for days and NOBODY ( seriously, they all admitted it when we shut the place down to visitors for this reno & cleaning) cleaned once. Its pretty bad, thankfully we have a small studio pool house, equally as dirty but sealed, and the last 2 days I scrubbed every square inch and it is a sparkly clean haven now :-)
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Anyone who could put on all those miles in such a short amount of time...you'll be in the big house before Easter! You're just a dynamo! A whirling dervish! And now that you can address it full time it will be more pleasurable. Don't know about you but I like to clean...I find it therapeutic. I do my best thinking when I vacuum! Wish we were closer distance wise. Is there any body of water nearby?
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 I know, I get a real feeling of accomplishment after cleaning too, I feel like one doesnt really see results in a lot of the things we do these days, but my ultimate favorite thing to do is laundry :-) The house and pool house overlook a 35 acre spring fed lake and there is also a smaller 15 acre lake we share with a neighbor, for big water Eufaula lake is 45 min away, and lake Martin north of us, we do have lots of water in Alabama!
sassafras19
@savannah_slim Sounds heavenly! How near is your closest neighbor? It would be my ideal little world. I love animals and hubs likes to hunt, fish, vintage motorcycle. I have threatened many times that I'm ready to go off the grid. Somewhere like Montana. No neighbors. No traffic. No noise. AHhhh! What income we would live on I'm sure I don't know....but you can always dream, right? Sometimes that's all it takes! But I'll trade you wall washing for laundry!
savannah_slim
@sassafras19 Deal! I guarantee I will be done with any amount of laundry way before the wall washing is complete. The farm is 100 acres and we are about a mile from the road and 15 miles from town, the closest neighbors are on the smaller lake we share with them, but it is a vacation home and someone mowing the lawn once a week is all we ever hear over there. We are surrounded by hunting land and pine tree farms, least populated county in the state and #'s go down every year๐.

@reereescloset Thanks so much, lovely! I just saw your closet and OMG! You are on fire! As I KNEW you would but holy smokes girl! I truly think that a beautifully wrapped package is almost as good as what's inside! I, too, spend a lot of time on it and it has to be juuust right before I ship as I know how I feel when I get one! Like a kid! Be proud of your mass of most sincere love notes and sales...you deserve it!!๐๐๐

@sassafras19 Hi, Lori; I know that we don't know each other, but your pic of the elephant made me stop and smile. I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom & that you're having health issues.๐ข I do hope that you have a good support system and, I know how much our Posh family cares. I'll be sending prayers your way and lots of positive vibes, too. Take care! ๐,Nia XOXOXO ๐
sassafras19
@nia1113 Hello lovely! Your message was so very thoughtful and sweet and proves that the Posh sisterhood is everywhere. Yes, it's been a difficult time but I have received so much love and support from wonderful women like you and the outpouring has warmed my heart. Many thanks for the love! It means so much. We're not strangers any more, are we?! ๐คโค๏ธ

@torii0126 Hi Tori! Thank you! Trying to reopen sooner than later! What we wouldn't do to have our mom's back? I'm very sorry for your loss. My dad died in 2014 then it was just my mom and me..I'm an only child. The losses go deep but every day is better than the last.

@shoppala Thank you. I'm an only child and lost my dad in 2014 so the hole feels large.
shoppala
@sassafras19 It takes a long time. I lost 5 members of my family within 11 mos a few years back. Itโs tough, grief sneaks up on you sometimes, even when you feel you have healed. Iโm sure a mother is the hardest. You have my sincere sympathy.
sassafras19
@shoppala Oh my gosh...I dont know how you got through it. That's devastating loss and I'm so very sorry. You must be a strong woman to withstand that kind of grief. Thanks so much for your kindness and understanding. ๐ค
