Over 23,000 logged on to The Community!!!

[mr_lincoln]

Over the last couple of years I have RARELY seen the number of members signed on to The Community above 10,000 ... I just noticed that as of this writing there are OVER 23,000 ...could the reasons be:

1.  Managed Payments?

2.  Foreigners showing up here?

3.  More glitches than normal?

4. Unhappy Buyers?

5. Unhappy Sellers?

I think I noticed some modifications today on the main site. Could be people are searching for answers about that, but tbh, every Covid-related relief measure expired at the end of July, so maybe people are figuring out how to sell their possessions in order to, you know...survive.

I have noticed a lot more people logging on..but a lot more grumpy folks too..geez. Lots of "fighting words"! So instead of Hotel California how bout....The devil's in the house of the rising sun....chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough..granny does your dog bite, no child no!

I woke up this morning
Then I went back to bed
Said I woke up this morning
Then I went right back to bed
Got a funny kind of feelin' ...like I got broken glass in my underwear

I'm convinced that number is from a random number generator.  It used to always be in the range 3000-5000 until about a year ago.   It then took a sudden jump to a range of 8000-16000.   I find it hard to believe that that many peeps suddenly decided to look in on the community.

Ouch to broken glass. There are so many that spring to mind.

Welcome to my nightmare....I think you're gonna like it!

The magical mystery tour...Waiting to take you away!

I'm travelin' down the road, I'm flirtin' with disaster

I've got the pedal to the floor, My life is running faster
I'm out of money, I'm out of hope, It looks like self destruction
Well how much more can we take, With all of this corruption.

and my personal favorite.

Sometimes you're the  windshield...Sometimes you're the bug!!

Lyrics imitating life!

COVID-19 masses on the internet buying and selling. Who would have thought that a nasty little killer virus would spark such interest.

I’ve rarely seen such consistent good sales here in 20 years. LOL!!!!
