Sometimes I am really not in the mood for people asking for $5 off over and over on a small order.

Hello, Eoin,
I am not sure what happened. But I sent you a message wherein I said I see you visited my profile. I guessed you were checking to see if I had visited the forum lately. I do not come here as often as I once did.In my earlier post, I mentioned the m-word that means shepherd of the forum. Perhaps that is why my message disappeared. I was saying I missed the forum days when people like Writer, Gigfreak, Woofy, and Maddie were active.
Hopefully, no one will delete this message.

Thank you for the offer, Vickie, but I'm not really on FB in the first place, and also like to keep Fiverr and some other things separate. But it's nice that you have a group that works for you there.
"surcharge for identifying/avoiding repeated words" Yes, some people rethink their approach if you tell them it's actually more work than just translating everything, and that they also might not always do themselves a favour by "cutting out" "repeated content"; context is a thing.

Hello, Eoin,
I see you were taking a peek at my profile yesterday. I do not visit here as much as I once did. It was more fun when you were a mod. I miss people like Writer too.

Just dropping by to say, "hi, I miss seeing you on the FF. Are you all settled in? Are you enjoying being in the city?"
-
Aww, thanks Vickie. Busy busy busy unfortunately, or fortunately 🙂
Loving life in Dublin and enjoying the change a lot. Also took on a new Marketing Agency client here which is taking around half of my work time, hence my lack of forum activity. Expecting my new housemates to move in next week and one of those is going to be an assistant of sorts, so hopefully can offload some to him and free myself up a bit to do some more posting here and elsewhere.
Have I missed anything?

I don’t think you missed anything major @eoinfinnegan.
As usually a couple of dramas here and there but nothing major.
I think it also became pretty tough to navigate and find something interesting/useful among those increased comments and duplicated posts

Since you said you miss Jon, I wanted to let you know we are organizing a welcome back party of sorts on his profile. So stop by and say hello! Yes, you can bring your pups!

Finally moving house tomorrow.
I had my busiest month ever last month and am still trying to finish off a few orders. Had to just pause all gigs to allow me to get some free time to move. It has been a week of 12-14 hour days and early starts. Gonna take a few days now to move and settle in I think before getting back to work.

I lived in various areas in Dublin for approx 15 years then moved to one quite quaint small town/village when I started freelancing. I moved to a slightly bigger one (Kilkenny) during Covid and the opportunity to house share with two friends in this area came up so I jumped at it. They will be moving in next month.
It's a far more vibrant area within walking distance of everything really so yeah, really pleased.

Got vaccinated today.
Was fine, feel a bit of pain and extremely tired but otherwise I am
All hail Mr. Gates, All hail Mr. Gates, All hail Mr. Gates

Testing a potential great use for this feature - One problem I had with the old forum was that you would often get responses from people who's opinion you may not value who then derail the thread from being a useful discussion and back to "halp me" type discussions.
If this type of quick post is only seen by followers of mine (mostly people I follow and who I respect), then is it possible to have a near-private discussion here with like-minded and experienced/capable sellers? Let's give it a go and discuss something here and see if it gets invaded by the masses.
When moving house, what is your biggest peeve or greatest joy?
(Also feel free to discuss or comment on the experiment idea too)

Ooh, good question! When moving houses, my biggest pet peeve is that something always gets lost in the process 😩
And my greatest joy is probably what @vibronx said- finding long lost things when I’m cleaning out!
That experiment looked so satisfying lol! I actually tried something similar at home called elephant toothpaste.

Thanks all. I've moved quite a few times before and most of the time it's been positive. Moving from a house in a country town to an apartment in the very centre of Dublin (our capital city), so it's going to be quite a change.
I'm also going to be sharing with 2 students I know so quite an adjustment but looking forward to city life again - lockdown has only really begun to be eased here, so as you can imagine, everyone is dying to get out and enjoy the summer.

Bit of news for me - just signed a lease to move back to Dublin city. When I began freelancing I moved away from the city for financial reasons but after 6 years of work, development and planning, I have taken the plunge and am moving back. Photos to follow.
