Look at the date and time of your post:  04-01-2024  01:12 PM.

Today is April Fool's Day.  

Perhaps a Hot-Dog Flavored Sparkling Water from your local 7-11 will help calm you  . . . . .

The One World Government gets One Day Closer....

Now I have to Google this. Actually, I'm not surprised.  Etsy has become a behemoth just like ebay since it's early days as a user-friendly and affordable way to sell online. 

I was just about to go over to etsy to open a new store to cross list my vintage items and craft supplies.  Hmmm.

Is this an April fools joke? lol

[brightlightbookseller]

Got me!  I had to google it to make sure you were joking!

I own eBay so I know I never bought Etsy as well.

I was able to acquire eBay last week due to the windfall of all the loose change I found down the back of my settee.

@ckimodog  Your skepticism is not misplaced. Yes, it is an April Fool's joke. LOL

Today I posted on my FB (I live in Kansas City) that Travis Kelce was traded by the Chiefs! Lots of people didn't get it & were surprised, but several did...it was all in good fun!
