Today is December the 5th in 2025 or on Friday. So I officially found out yesterday, well last night actually, that I have COVID. That's what I got. That's what that's what walloped me big time. Because my mother then started getting sicker and she's almost 85. so I got her over to the emergency room.

Unfortunately, it didn't keep her because there's nothing they can do. But they tested her, and she has COVID. So I just gave it to her. I picked it up when I went to get to the thanks game and stuff. We've never had it. I never got it during the one that first came out. Thank goodness.

I knew it was something different because I could tell. I couldn't taste soda the other day. And I was like, oh, this does not seem like, just a cold. It wasn't. It's officially, so I officially have had COVID now. It was not fun. But, I mean, it's to work through it. Sleeping is really all you can do. Sleep it off. I mean, I took some night cool and stuff like that, but that just helps you sleep more. That's why I just used the nighttime stuff. I didn't even bother any kind of daytime. I knew I had something more.

I mean, my, my, my kidneys were hurting. My organs, I could feel them that were, everything was hurt and was like oh geez and luckily hopefully my mother will be all right so she was at the emergency for a few hours but then I thought they were going to keep her maybe she had pneumonia or something or a flu and they could keep for a couple days to help her get through it but no they don't they just let you get they just say no you have proven you got to go home and supper through it basically that's it so that's what I've been doing anyway so luckily I didn't know the emergency room because I would have known I just didn't realize it but we survived it I'm on the tail end of it a little bit better again today so we'll just move on

see what's going on so I think just said I've had it I don't know what it means if once you've had it plus I also I always get all the all the vaccines I'm a vaccine if you want there's a vaccine that comes out I'll take it and even this year a COVID was only supposed to be for people that were 60 and over the vaccine brass still was able to get it but it looks like it didn't help me at all other than maybe not getting it as worse as i could have maybe definitely i died and there was a couple days there last week before i felt but definitely took a toll on my body too i feel like i've aged about 10 years in a week uh since uh getting this she looking in the mirror i'm like whoa wow

that really took took a toll you just see it and feel it but oh well this is what it is all right so let's get uh so we did yesterday we did some Xbox 360 for a little while but through all this I still kept plugging away so the Lions beat the Cowboys last night and this is hanging in there for playoff good cool definitely take the lions over cowboys in day all right let's take a look at the news

for a few nights here yeah so I got a good sleep a mother came back from the hospital I've really lived like five minutes away from the hospital so it was pretty awesome it's easy to get her there really quick she was there for a couple hours until she would get in and then

they didn't keep that long and I picked her up and all my dogs set up for me to sleep them in the big bed but they haven't actually called to them I always switched back over to my little bed so everything's back to normal but it's just a Covenhouse right now yeah all right so let's get some business done here this morning oh Etsy I got an order yeah my quarters then little one's been popping up there now oh a couple of oh I just stuff hey figure order on Etsy that's the first all NES stuff I can do that

NES left and right ports yeah I got more of those so somebody bought a bunch of NES stuff to fix their NESs the set of the screws for the top of the case left and right ports for the NES this is for the front rotor and then the NES side loader that yes why I say silo it's front load power button cool all right so that's a good size order awesome so that's my morning out on a good I have a return I saw it last night on me day no else is I had a return I don't know if it's supposed to be I set it up so that fire has to pay for the return we'll see um let's look at Parkmark let's see what's going to continue we'll do some other

stuff I'm gonna double back to n64 yes and I gotta get some more re-stuck relisted my sales pushmark so we're gonna do that first after I feel what kind of orders I got and stuff and then we will find something we'll do today which I believe I'm giving PS2s 1,283 followers you're on Pachmar let's go to RSS feed we've had a lot of downloads are Gosh, it's been really cool. I always pumped, though, and something takes off a little bit. For me, a few downloads is taken off.

I appreciate everything I do, so it's pretty awesome. All right, let's see, let's see what we have here for downloads yesterday. Let's go back down to no, no, the other 15 downloads. Wow, that's pretty awesome. I'm usually down to like one or zero or maybe two at the most. I said I've got 122 downloads in the last 30 days, 1,382 so far. It's my message in bottle over the internet ocean, wherever it may go. I always get excited to see where it pops up.

Toronto, Canada, Miami, Sydney, Inberg, Germany, Germany, Germany. I don't think I'm not saying that right. Dusseldorf, yeah, I can so. and then a few others which are pretty exciting and then we'll check with monetize here I'm up to 36 cents now so I think 36 cents here my RSS feed the podcast all right so let's get to some business now let's check YouTube I am in a new direction but at the same time it's still always doing the same things I did sit on the couch I I'm not going to the hospital, I was sitting on the couch. He did a little life you'd like that a little bit. So here on YouTube, I'm at 101,545 subscribers. My revenue hasn't changed at all, $57.53.

Few hours are way up, 673.7. Watch hours are 4.8K. Maybe you can press and hold a button. see what that is there. I might go way in deep. That was a great one of the drills blazing. I've been doing videos differently promoting wise. Generating them to my website. It gives me tons more views. And so I got away from the audience and I started using that option. It's really I have 84,000 per that one. So now I'm at 98,000. 962 views and I go way in deep.

My number one video is my double D64, which was 135,000. These are numbers I never saw before. And it's because I changed, you always going to try to change it up. This idea you have three options to promote the Google. And this is the one, the last option I hadn't used, and I'm not sure why I didn't is what it does is it also, clicks you to my YouTube to my eBay page

because I don't make money here on YouTube so now at least I can get brings some people over that. Maybe. One comment here. Maybe you can press and hold a button for some time until it's stopped doing what it's doing that.

Oh yeah. Now, I have tried. those options with the same results results yeah it's my little

robot and it got returned on me the guy kept the other box I'm not the light of video on that one all right so if we have any any other um subscribers that we can click on as new subscribe to me i will subscribe to you um so nine to my 63 and zero three little ones 17 so that's how many they have So it took, so since Colvin came out until now, it's when I finally got it. It's just, it's one of those things, it's just gonna be like getting the flu.

Man, it was pretty brutal, though. It's not due well through that at all. I survived, and I always worked. That's, again, thank goodness I have a home base, man, because that would have been almost a week out of work somewhere. We had 321 views of my Roxanne Ranger. sitting on the couch with them, I did a little live feet for like, it was like a half hour. You know, I feel like doing my workbench.

My mother wasn't home, so my dog's, especially my rocks and my ranger, he gets really, need someone around him. So I sat with him on the couch. Just sits in my lap, looks out the window. Wait, my mother to come home. And I didn't expect her. I didn't think she was going to come home. I thought they would keep her. I wish they could have, just so they could have helped her over it better.

But we can, she can sleep it off. too. You know, I wouldn't want to have that at 85. I don't tell you that much. That's 58, boy, man, I thought I was dying a couple days there. Definitely. I don't like that one. All right. And it feels like it's changed my body in not a good way either. So it doesn't feel a little weird differently now. Open it on up with long coven or something like that. But I'm able to function, so that's cool all right so let's go to business here you pay we had still had orders and I still got them out yesterday as I always do you order something I'll get it out you know as sick as I was all right so we have two orders I can see I had the

return to do in 24 hours so two orders I got cool One is for screws around the Nintendo Wii, the auto screws, and the battery compartment. Another Xbox 1540 motherboard. Cool. I got a test. I got a few more of those. Those are selling pretty well. Very pumped about that. I had that not so negative. I had the positive negative feedback. Very poorly packed. while I was really sick there I had that big order orders over the weekend it was an Xbox

1S put it in a really nice tight fitting box and I freaked out about it but of course I replied to them that to feedback because there's always two sides

of the store Wii U games thank you like it all goes right away that's a Chris and Sony in New Hampshire I think perfect fit

oh yeah so that's pretty cool all right so we have to two orders let's go to my summary of payments a big chunk you went to yeah a big chunk goes to there and I can send a big chunk to my account yeah this is really working out that capital loan through Libris which is connected to eBay it's pretty awesome you've been doing eBay for a long time you should use it to get one really helped me out because now I've got extra money in case of what it really happened I have a little extra money in the bank a lot but a little bit as opposed to living eBay sale by eBay sale which I normally am but I'm in debt over with that as well so

not really like it's free money it's not huh all right so let's look at my messages are we have a couple things here all right return buyer ship return oh just just a wee cassio what do i remember that I don't figure what this returns about it's for the we a wee is this the kind of a community getting it was about a Wiiu console, Wii panel. I understand this is graded description, says functions as it should, this game functions as it should.

I put it in this. Oh, yeah. Understood. Understood. It should have been intact. That was still in place. in place place it was super clean so I should it was not yes yes Thank you.

That was thumpid. That was stumpy. That's how do you want? to do a clip there is a clip on it does a clip on it that's not really what white wanted to really super clean so I'm gonna have to do these guys and just just open a turn open up a turn I will I will I will refund as soon as shift you can leave leave leave a negative feedback that was super clean and

try to get it to you the best I could nothing more I can do I can do That was a super clean one. The clip bent.

So I bent it back and it's a function. It's a front. It is a, it is a, so it gives me in trouble here. There's a side panel. It always functions. It had Perfect Grill

and screw holes all right so that's my second negative thing this week the other one was we just talked about it before was uh see if you do one little mistake in a five calls you out oh well overall things usually go pretty good but tomorrow this is a cosmetic issue too so it's it's for the xbox 360s 1681 had a really nice side panel uh grill but the clip bent in i bent it back taped it up seemed like it was all right

uh the panel itself is all intact and of course is um grating that one piece and and now uh you have take the return it's all optic the return there's no bad about that but then i'll probably get some sort of a uh not so nice feedback but you know try to do the best i can you know i'm just not perfect with stuff it's just not possible and again i only reason why only original i still shipped it was because it was To me, it was just everything else was nice about it. There was nothing wrong with it. He did not do it.

Could have just refunded the guy, but I was like, I think it would be all right. I was all. So, sometimes I take a gamble, and I then struck out. That's my second gamble I struck out. Along with the Xbox S-1681, I put in a really tight-fitting box.

It wasn't good enough. And you can see that feedback. It's in the positive, but it's negative. But, of course, I replied it well. Best I can't. Even though, I'll even say it's just on me. But then I'll give you reasons why I was in a COVID epidemic at the time. That's why.

Well, I probably still worship it that way. The other ones I said, but I just, the boxers, I always get boxes in when I buy stuff. And it just happened to be the perfect box. It fit perfect. It's like, I'll just put it in this box. right uh it's not like i put it in the padded envelope we put it in the box i covered it like a word with a wrap and then i put it in that box the game and it was all nice tight fit and we shipped it right out and they got it in a couple days and of course i got blasted and of course

i sent him to reply to it i never heard back from me so we'll see what we ended with this so yeah if you make one little teeny mistake or if there's one thing you didn't detail somewhere, boy, the fire will zoom in on that in a heartbeat. So I don't know. Well, I have been doing it. I can't say I don't do that. Because I've had some stuff lately with

on my end that I've zoomed in on. So I guess I can say I can do it. I try not to make sure there's not that little thing that's different, but these are the two ones that on me. I thought sometimes it's either by it's going to be like, no big deal.

just clips bent in I just bent it back and lock it in and it'll be fine or it'll be one that's going to zoom in and send me a message saying this is uh it doesn't function it's a cover always functions the grills are broken or a screw port screw holes and I would say it doesn't function but it's open to return give me negative feedback we'll talk about it at least anything I didn't really do with no feedback overalls really good in a long time. Plus, I get all the good positive feedback from auto eBay, which is really awesome.

So things are going to go wrong and I'm going to make mistakes. And what I usually do is when I do get a really brutal feedback negative, first thing I do is I bring it to my YouTube page and we'll talk about it. I always do that because I don't want to share the bad. The selling is not perfect by any means.

There's no way to be perfect. I'm glad I'm not perfect. And sometimes, negative feedback on your account is good. And as long as you explain the other end of it, which I was the best I can't. Even if I could still sit the other day, yes, it was me. I just thought it was not that big of the deal.

Seeing how nice it was, but that's what it is. All right, everyone. So you have a good afternoon. Today's Friday. We're going into the weekend. I will talk to you tomorrow. Bye. Bye.
