you ever wanted a place to just vent? not really looking for a reply to your complaints but just a place to let 'em rip? here it is.. the only request is please keep the use of language clean... other wise go for it!!

soooooooo tired of explaining the same thing to people over and over!!!!! with out exaggeration the same conversation every 2 weeks for 18 months and people STILL wont hear what i have to say..


ahh thats a little better...

OK one thing I find really annoying is eBay sellers that list single useless (or nearly) stamps in their hundreds!

Kinda of feeling frustrated that my philately selling is not going anywhere and there are so many single stamps (sorry Perfs ! Don't worry I'm not listing on eBay ) that I wanna list and can't even afford a new scanner now. And I'm trying to re-consolidate the auction items at a webstore...Plus the fact that I'm so in need of a job so the money can start coming in and trying to do 101 things at the same time... darn ! This is not working out at all !

Sorry to hear you are not having a good time at the moment, indestore. Things will get better for you soon, of that I am sure.

Have you considered selling all your singles as small kiloware off-paper lots which you can photograph using a mobile phone or similar?

Or maybe making up some frames like i do and selling them at a market or on indent in local gift shops etc?

just some stupid ideas...

Thanks Perfs, I haven't thought of doing the kiloware way yet but trying to make a few country and topical lots...the singles listings will most likely be the interesting items or higher value stamps. I'm using a camera right now but some photos are not showing the correct colors of the stamps. And I'm considering sending my cam to Cash Converters soon.

I do like your idea of making philately-related crafts but that will be taking a back seat for a while.


I guess I just need to settle the job part, clear the small debts and everything will start to flow...not really that awful since I'm living with my parents so I still have a roof over my head and food on the table. There are others out there worst off than me so I'm not complaining.

Sounds like you already have it under control!

You have Cash Converters in Singapore? I did not realize they were international...

Yep I think they have been in Singapore for almost 10 years ? Business must have been very good to last this long !

Time to vent.... errrrr...
Why is it that people feel the need to post negative of neutral feedback when they have an issue instead of contacting you directly first. It always seems to be newbies (less than 100 feedback) that end up marring your reputation.

OK I vented. Thanks

They lack online etiquette skills ? And eBay protects buyers more than sellers.

pushing large boulders uphill only lasts for so long!!!!!!!! why can i have this image of how things should be and yet not beable to translate that into words for others? why do i have to feel like i am rescuing the world when all i want to do is watch some one else take responsibility for their damn life?!?!? when does a person reach "adulthood"? i think i was there at 13 yet i see people DAILY that are my senior and have not reached that point yet...

sorry i cannot elaborate but damn i feel overwhelmed just this minute and i really REAAAAALLLLLLYYYY want to snap...

Avoid snapping at all costs - it only hurts you and those you care for and achieves nothing. Meditation works much better.

Find a quiet spot, even if you have to get in the car and get away for an hour or so.

Close your eyes and clear your mind of everything - focus on black, the blackest you can imagine. When you are there start relaxing each individual muscle by tensing it and then " letting go".

start at your toes and move slowly to your scalp.

Now focus on your breathing, Use your diaphragm.

breathe in ...imagine that you are breathing in beautiful blue air

breathe out...imagine that you are breathing out black air and with it all your worries and frustrations.

Do this for a while and as you develop a blue colour in your mind slowly change it into a picture of the most beautiful place you can imagine. A place you would be so very happy in; where there would be no worries where you are completely fulfilled and relaxed and happy with everyone and everything.

Make it real by walking around 'yourworld' and see only things that please you.

Find a spot in it and sit and relax and focus on your breathing...now there is only pure air coming in and out...you feel good, you feel great...hold that thought and slowly open your eyes and focus on the good things in your life, those you love and that love you.




....alternatively, you can tell everyone to get FFFFF'ed and get drunk!

thanks guys .. on the note of "substances" when i am at this point i am not going to use in any way... i can not permit that of myself.. i have the occasional drink (1-2 times a year) and will not permit drunkenness as i have had issues in the past ... as for anything else i left that life behind many many years ago (18 years to be exact) and will never travel that road again...

i just need to blow off steam before i break someone (no i did not mean something)... it is not a situation where leaving it alone has worked so far and there in lies part of the issue..

in time things will pass i just needed a moment to P&M... thanks ...
