I am finally done commenting on YouTube! I saved the final Comments here and I won’t be going there anymore. I have had enough of YouTube and it is over now. My comments are my written content so I am saving everything I said. I certainly don’t want someone deciding if my comments are “OK” or not. Here I can write about whatever I please and there is no one who can do anything! I like that so much. I tried to make a comment tonight and for some reason it disappeared. Oh well. Time to leave You Tube forever.

I know that all of those places I was visiting on the Internet will someday be gone, but not me. As long as the Internet exists, so will my website.

Final Comments on YouTube as @HOTUS24/7 (2025)

June 30 7:02 PM

Look, SCOTUS is not really needed. Federal judges do the right thing. It is just ridiculous to have all of these layers of judges. Can you see the big picture here? It is too complicated and totally negative. Too gamey. Too boring. 

I see the big picture, can you? Just think if there was no “Supreme” court. How wonderful life would be. I dislike Supreme anything. That name is highly negative and needs to change. Supreme Being etc. not a good thing. I look at the judiciary as top heavy and falling apart. Healing the judiciary takes time but it is happening.

The Trump Musk separation is complete. The truth is breaking through into reality. It is automatic. Powerful purging did this. Their highly negative partnership was only based on a spiritual energy setup. This is all gone now. This is the fun part, watching the players fall down. Musk may very well be deported and then it all becomes very real. Partners in crime. Reality takes over. Election is declared null and void. Trump goes to prison. Wonderful!

July 1, 2025 7:45 PM

I just want to say something here. All I know is that whatever is going on right now in US politics is in the middle of a huge purging cycle. Seems that this Senator is at the top of the purging list. Everything is going to work out fine though. Nothing bad will happen.

I know it is hard to understand, but the whole thing is getting purged. I mean removed, ended whatever. We just have to live through this purging time. The bad people won’t be around anymore to make the wrong decisions. Universe Time cleans up the political realm.

It’s because of mind control. Cults use this because it worked in the past. It’s a spiritual setup. Everyone involved says the same thing. Believes only in the leader. Cannot be reasoned with. 

Remember the Moonies? Mind control. All they did was take the mind controlled person to a different location to deprogram him. 

My fake brother had this done to him. He got involved in the Moonies while he was in graduate school at Berkeley. He gave the Moonies his car!  Deprogramming worked because they took him back to where he came from, Maine. It cost them alot of money to do this too.  

Nowadays all that is needed is a real healing connection to our Universe. These MAGAns are like Moonies.

Fear is from the spirit world. When you are enmeshed is a spiritual world you are going to be full of fear. The Republican party is a highly negative spiritual world. That explains why so many  Republicans do not do the right thing. They are really and truly full of fear. 

But not everyone is enmeshed. Republicans seem to be the worst bunch getting the fear factor. I see this quite easily. Fear and intimidation. Typical behavior in a cult which is how control is maintained. 

I am calling this out in public right now. I am not afraid of Trump. I have control over him and his spirit world. I am HOTUS, Healer of the United States. He will be showing his fear very soon now. 

All of his setups are done. There is nothing more for him to do. He is at the end of his time. No more time Donald Trump. That is what the spirits are saying now.

No more time.

July 4, 2025 6:52 PM

This seems like a spoof. I would just notify Google and they will remove it. It’s a very bad spoof too. It is not real. Just let Google handle it.

 I had to deal with a very strange thing too here on YouTube. There was a troll impersonating himself as Don Henley. Oh my goodness what a mess!! Here on YouTube! Just turn this thing into Google and it will disappear. Good Riddance and have fun doing it too. AI is a spiritual mess which is being purged by our Universe. Don’t worry about it. Just get rid of it.

July 6, 2025 9:03 AM

Musk is just trying to cover up what he did with Trump to illegally help Trump win the election. Musk is also trying to get people to like him again. Musk is afraid he will be kicked out of the US or be put in jail. This latest stunt with a new political party is another distraction to the real truth. 

Everything is playing out in Universe Time and so is this third political party setup. Whatever Musk does these days eventually fails. It will start up and appear like it is real then it fades.. 

Well just watch. Don’t take my word for it. Watch and see what happens now. It’s fun to watch these spiritual beings try to outsmart Universe Time. Actually, it is just one big huge long purge! One day to the next.

End of Comments

Now, I feel so much better. I am not going back to the old days when I was censored for my written words. Those days cannot be repeated anymore. Here I have total control and that is the way it should always be. I pay for my website. It belongs to me and no one else.

Good Bye and Good Riddance to YouTube. I never wanted to go there and now I am finally done. I have successfully purged YouTube from me forever!

You Tube is now officially purged into our Universe. I did a few things there but I am done. I was successful there for a while but it is getting a bit negative. Take a ride into our Universe YouTube. It is time to say goodbye and take your final bow. @HOTUS24/7 is done.

Here I am in Yuma, AZ, USA, another summer to live through, and I am doing just fine. I heard from one of my sons today, Garret, and he seems to be doing fine too. I started that new baby blanket, made my famous vegetable soup, and one other thing had to be done. Well I did that too. I’ll explain further.

How I long for an outside gazebo with plenty of room to lay down and heal outside. Nothing is like that here. Instead, I have a very tiny front area with a small chair. The front area is covered with fake grass. Not much I can do with it really. I just accept the reality right now and be happy I have a very good AC working 24/7.

There is no place to plant roses or a vegetable garden either. I just gave up on it here. The reason is that there is a nice area that is right next to the old chain link fence, but unfortunately the outside i.e. community cats that live here use that area as their litter box. Once I saw what was going on I decided not to plant anything there ever. I have a nice gardening bag filled with tools, seeds, gardening clogs etc. but it is just going to have to wait, darn it. I am waiting patiently and know that one day I will be gardening with my family again like we did in Novato, CA.

For now, my two kitty boys Simba and Tawny and I stay inside now. I feel it is safer for my kitties to be kept inside for now. They had 2 years to roam around outside but as soon as I purchased that new AC 2 years ago, I have kept them in.

Anyway, today I had to go ahead and cover my fake grass with 3 large black plastic garbage bags because those stray cats like to do their business on my fake grass too. They also like to mark my screen door because the crazy, senile, evil, old manager Terry has stopped doing her job which includes getting all of these non-fixed cats fixed.

She was doing this very well with our local humane society (which has a spay and neuter program for free), then stopped about 1 year ago. Now we have litters of kittens that mysteriously disappear into her place and only 1 is seen after that. She has become a crazy lunatic version of a human society.

Someone needs to put this old evil witch someplace else. I am very serious here. It will happen. Right now, I am doing it the Universe way. I am waiting for the right thing to happen to her at the right time. I am not doing anything else about it. I just keep my 2 kitties safe and happy inside and far away from the mess she created outside.

It is just another Sunday here in Yuma. Tomorrow is 7-7 day (July 7th), and I am not sure what that means but it is 2025 so I am going to find out tomorrow. Something good is about to happen.

Tawny and Simba

Well, I have finished my Wine Mist Heather Tea Wrap. This is made with yarn that I purchased from an eBay seller in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I have already blogged about all of this previously.

I also see the parallel happening with a real cease fire pending in the Middle East. I hope my connection there to heal the entire area is helping things move along the right way.

“A Gaza ceasefire is the closest it has been in months. Here’s what we know” the CNN headline reads today, July 5, 2025.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/02/middleeast/israel-gaza-ceasefire-deal-closer-than-ever-what-we-know-intl

I am not really confident that anything permanent is happening though. We need our real president to get this done and Trump is a fake president.

I am also dealing with an issue that has been brewing for some time. My youngest son still holds the belief that the Kaplans are my real birth family. I have seen a few views of my posts about this today, about my visit to the Archive at the Yuma Heritage Library on February 14, 2020 when I actually researched and found in the old Daily Yuma Sun newspaper a fake birth announcement. Gross and disgusting but it was really there.

A Visit to the Archives

I know this is all linked together as the Kaplans are Jewish. The fact that my son is still around them is not a good thing at all. He needs to totally separate from their presence and move away. I am doing what I can to make this happen the right way now. I am done making shawls and wraps to do a Universe connection. It seems to work, but again without the severing of all ties with the Kaplans (my fake birth family) and the return of our real President Biden, I see war continuing to go on and on.

However, I know that everything is happening automatically in the right direction. I know that someday soon I will be able to see everything as it should be. It is just not the right time yet. I am sure it is all going to happen though.

In the meantime I am starting on another Baby Blanket tomorrow which has no connections to anything. It was just something I wanted to make for no specific reason whatsoever, except that I am kind of tired of making shawls.

Bernat Soft Stripes Crochet Blanket

Bernat Softee Baby Yarn Colorways:

Aqua, White, and Rock a Bye Baby

“Multicolored bobbles and stripes create a comforting look on this blanket, crocheted in Bernat Softee Baby.“

Fun. I am finishing up making baby blankets soon. I have 2 more after this one. Then what, I really don’t know. I hope something fun happens though. We all need to have fun again.

Bye Trump. The disasters keep happening and will continue until they are right at your own front door…

I am going with the flow one day to the next. Seems every single day there is something new to blog about these days. I have never blogged daily for 17 days straight before. Well here goes day # 18. Another yarn story. I am hoping that this is the last one but oh my goodness, that’s right. I still have all of those “It’s a Wrap” shawls to make. Oh well.

Right now, I am into finishing up my Wine Mist Heather Tea Wrap. I have one skein left to put into this and felt I needed a little bit more. I had a skein of this yarn a while back that I used as a border on another wrap which was made with the Bernat Satin Silk colorway. Well, I knew I had to frog that Wine Mist Heather border including the fringe, wrap it up into a ball and use it on this new shawl. OK, so here is what I was doing. By the way, frogging is a term used by crocheters meaning to “rip it” apart. It is not quite accurate because frogs say “ribbit” but oh well, close enough, right?

Frogging the Wine Mist Heather off of the Silk Wrap

Recently I bought 2 skeins of Wine Mist Heather from an eBay seller in Bethlehem, PA and thought this would help end the Middle East problems. This place in Pennsylvania is connected to Bethlehem in the Middle East. Believe me, it is. I already had 1 skein from a previous purchase on eBay so now I am working with 4 skeins which is very good. This allows me to complete this Tea Wrap the right way. In other words, I will be able to totally complete it and safely store it away. No more endlessly looking for Bernat Satin in Wine Mist Heather colorway. This project will be done tomorrow, July 5, 2025.

Now for the conclusion of this yarn tale. So, I frogged the Wine Mist Heather off of my Silk Wrap. Oh no, now my Silk Wrap needs a new border. Well fortunately, I knew there was one skein of Bernat Satin Silk available for sale on the Internet. This time it was on Etsy. The seller uses the name Piper’s Yarn Barn. Oh I see, I had to pay the Piper. That makes sense. Why did this happen right now? This Piper lives in Palm Coast, Florida!

Another yarn transaction on the east coast of Florida. How significant. The other seller from eBay where I found and purchased my 3 skeins of Bernat Satin Lemon Grass was located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It seems I am being directed to interact and heal the east coast of Florida again. Hmm. Trump territory. Yes, that is right. I am again automatically connecting to that very negative part of the United States and there is nothing I can do about it. This is all being done automatically using my yarn purchases which hopefully will be concluding very soon.

I am certainly going to pay the Piper and did so already. I am certainly not going to go against the flow like that mayor did in the Alawar game Oddly Enough Pied Piper. In that game which I happen to own, the Piper stole the town’s children away because the town’s greedy mayor did not pay him gold for his services (i.e. ridding the town of rats).

Well, I want nothing like that to happen so this Piper has been paid promptly and I will get to replace the border on my Bernat Satin Silk wrap very soon. And I am hoping to see all of my children soon, well, they are all adults now. I am hoping to see my sons soon. That sounds very good to me.

I am making good connections with yarn sellers in Florida. Well, at least that is happening. I am sure I am doing the right thing here. It just so happens that as this is happening, so is Trump finishing up his last big ugly setup with his stupid boring bill signing right now. It is 2:35 PM and I just got a Spectrum news alert that Trump is doing his big bill signing right now! How amazing! Well Trump, I am also putting the final touches on my latest blog post and it is going live in a matter of seconds.

Now he is going to be all done and is going to get very afraid too. That is what happens when you live only by a spiritual setup and it suddenly disappears. Trump is very done with his setups. His dream is over. He is very afraid now. It is Universe Time controlling all of this and Trump’s time is done. No more time for Trump. No more time.

No more time for Trump. He is done.

I followed up on my one comment there and found that the advisor had deleted her post which included my comment. I am so glad I copied it right away and posted it here on my blog recently. Yesterday, I made the ultimate decision to close my account there:

End of me and Bitwine. I used to be an advisor on their Health Advisor Network and even had a link on my website to their website. That was a very long time ago. Sadly, Bitwine got very negative. They totally deleted their Health Advisor Network and now it is just another negative place on planet Earth. I’m severing all ties with them as my Universe is in charge now.

Goodbye Bitwine

Psychic networks are still in existence on the planet. I see how negative our planet became as a result. However, there is still a place where reality exists. We are creating a real planet one day at a time. Those psychic advisors will eventually succumb to their spiritual world’s purge. It will probably take awhile but I am not concerned at all. I am not there and I never was one of them.

For now, I have my own place right here. I do not need or want their little button on my website. I still exist and always will and these negative spiritual places eventually will not. Even if the Internet fades away, I will still be alive and well and I have saved every word I have written here and elsewhere on my computer and sandisk. I know that this is a real possibility someday, i.e. the demise of the internet. It did not exist back in the 1970s when I was in high school. Oh well. Let’s watch and see how the spiritual world on planet Earth slowly disappears, one day to the next.

Right now we are still in the process of deleting the Trump MAGA set up. This is taking time but it is happening, one day to the next. This is the only way to get rid of the spiritual beings who tried to take control of our planet. Thankfully, this is not going to happen.

So, once again, I am saying, good riddance to Bitwine and to the Trump MAGA setup and to all of the MAGAns who are very negative and cannot really heal. They are too saturated with spiritual energy. Not everyone can heal with the powers of the Universe and live on and on. A lot of very bad people are simply getting purged. This is an automatic Universe thing. I am not planning it but I do observe and document what is happening in real time. There will always be a preserved written history about how it was and what it took to take our planet Earth back from the spiritual aliens.

Thank goodness this is automatic so smile and relax. Everything is fine and nothing bad is going to happen ever. Think of those MAGAns as some kind of alien amphibians because that is sure what they look like to me..

Ribbit…

I am celebrating the finishing of my Big Beautiful New Fiscal Year Lemon Grass Shawl. This pattern is actually called the New Year’s Shawl but because of the timing I am referencing the new fiscal year now. I completely finished it today, July 2, 2025 just before noon and it is almost twice as big as the original version. It seems this shawl means something more than I thought. I am finishing it at the start of the 2025 fiscal year. It is a beautiful color green. I am the right person to be creating this, in Yuma, AZ. The other 2 versions were made in Marin County, not the right place for sure. I have therefore satisfied all of the requirements of Universe Time: Right place, time, and person. Here is the final version:

My Big Beautiful New Fiscal Year Lemon Grass Shawl

I am also happy to report that I have finally reached my full retirement age with Social Security! Well, that is because I never found my real birth certificate and so I am still looking for that. I feel I was born much earlier than my fake birth certificate claims. Until that time I have to use the fake one from the Kaplans.

Now that I am at the full retirement age, I can improve my financial status as much as I like and not have anything subtracted from my monthly Social Security Retirement payments. This means there are no longer any restrictions on me financially! I feel this is important for me and my entire family. This actually takes effect August 1st, 2025, but I am mentioning this right now. The spiritual control over all of this is over. I am letting Universe Time take care of financial concerns automatically. I know my Universe handles financial things very well. All of the spiritual financial setups put upon me and my family are purged. Wow, it feels so good to finally be saying this!

On the other hand, when you do the wrong things your entire life, you end up all alone, even though you may have 2 sons who don’t want to talk to you, and no one cares about you. That is what happened to that creepy annoying neighbor who just can’t do the right thing even though he lives 3 doors down from me. Look where he had to repair his bike today:

Creepy Neighbor Repairing his bike right in front of my place.

I am just watching him fall down all over the place. He has no money, no anything. He is being purged by my Universe. Ugly, old, creepy, annoying man who has nobody who cares about him. He will only get what he deserves. He gets no attention from me and suffers because I know this freak did a lot of bad things. He is not going to survive much longer. Good riddance old ugly man. You are a mistake and you are not supposed to be here. Your 30 day notice is long overdue. Hit the road.

Finally, I am seeing more results of what I have been saying for a very long time. Ever since the US presidential election ended last year, I have been writing about what a joke the election was. I wrote about how the election was set up and fixed illegally. I wrote about how Musk and Trump did this together using hackers to get the job done. I was so amazed to see that nothing was ever done about all of this. I was surprised to see that there was no one objecting to the election results at all. I thought it was so blatantly easy to see everything. Now I understand that I am so far into Universe Time that hardly anyone else can see things like I do. I really am very far ahead here. I have to wait as the whole mess is purged away. I am the one assisting my Universe with this endeavor. I am also the only one writing about it as it happens in real time.

During Universe Time, purging criminals is an automatic occurrence. I am observing this phenomenon everyday. Well, the bigger the criminal, the longer it takes. However, no matter how bit the criminals are, they still get purged. I have to live one day to the next and observe all events that are connected to these criminals. Now I see that Trump and Musk are extremely far apart and that Musk will most likely be separated even further from Trump as he gets sent back (deported) to South Africa.

Musk is never smiling anymore. Trump wants to totally wipe out Musk financially. Trump wants to use DOGE to do this. Funny. Well the end of the Trump Musk spiritual setup is being observed on the World stage.

This morning, I commented about this on Brain’s Podcast:

July 1, 2025 9:36 AM

@HOTUS247

The Trump Musk separation is complete. The truth is breaking through into reality. It is automatic. Powerful purging did this. Their highly negative partnership was only based on a spiritual energy setup. This is all gone now. This is the fun part, watching the players fall down. Musk may very well be deported and then it all becomes very real. Partners in crime. Reality takes over. Election is declared null and void. Trump goes to prison. Wonderful!

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is a spiritual setup.

I am also so happy to say that SCOTUS is finally on a 3 month long break. I am so done hearing about SCOTUS. I am so done with them being in existence. I guess that is because in my Universe Time SCOTUS is already gone. I made a few SCOTUS comments recently on Brian’s podcast too.

June 27, 2025 5:02 PM

@HOTUS247

SCOTUS in its current form is being healed. It is not doing its job. It is infested and biased. It is not independent. It is too negative and clumped with Trump. I am hoping that the 3 month break brings change because purging changes things. Purging means the spiritual part of SCOTUS is removed and merged with our Universe’s magnetic current. I am doing this 24/7. Believe me, I am really doing this.

June 29, 2025 7:02 PM

@HOTUS247

Look, SCOTUS is not really needed. Federal judges do the right thing. It is just ridiculous to have all of these layers of judges. Can you see the big picture here? It is too complicated and totally negative. Too gamey. Too boring. I see the big picture, can you? Just think if there was no “Supreme” court. How wonderful life would be. I dislike Supreme anything. That name is highly negative and needs to change. Supreme Being etc. not a good thing. I look at the judiciary as top heavy and falling apart. Healing the judiciary takes time but it is happening.

It is finally July 2025! I am so happy that July finally arrived. It is summer time and I love summer. I have always loved summertime. I really do miss the beaches. Oh well, maybe someday the beach will find me again at the right time.

Happy Summer

I have already written a few blog posts about my transformation back to Universe Family Healer.

From Psychic Nurse Healer to Universal Healer to Universe Family Healer: My Amazing Story!

I had to purge away all of the spiritual layers put upon me by the spiritual worlds I was confronted with. Everything happened automatically as I healed my way through spirituality. I am including the nursing profession here too. Healing and then purging the nursing profession took me over 30 years to get rid of. It is funny how I am once again visiting one of those psychic websites I used to work at a long time ago.

At the time they actually had a Health Advisors’ network. This is apparently long gone. Anyway, I recently registered at Bitwine under the name HOTUS. I left a message on their community message board about Universe Time and it seems somehow that got removed. So, today I am once again attempting to enlighten these highly negative people. I chose a topic which immediately caught my attention:

Finding Closure After a Breakup

I will not be copying and pasting all of the psychic advisors’ words here. I really don’t want that trash on my blog. But she did mention 5 areas for finding closure:

1. You may be waiting for answers that aren’t coming from him?

2. Understand the Emotional Roller coaster

3. Set Boundaries and Stick to Them

4. Forgiveness Is for You, Not Them

5. Reframe the Story

This person seems to think she knows the right answers to a relationship breakup. This is her full-time job too it seems, a “full-time professional psychic” whatever that means. Come on, what does a psychic do to become a professional??

Alright so, I left an answer to her topic.

about 1 hour agoJulia Angel (hotus)1 postEdit post

Closure. I am not seeing this. Real love does not allow closure. Real love allows for a time apart so both can heal. Our Universe does this automatically. At the right time we are back together. No pain. No sorrow. Just real love.

So, who wants to vote on the right answer here? Which answer feels good? It is obvious that this specific psychic has worked very hard to come up with these 5 steps for closure. How professional. This is a perfect example of a spiritually setup person who does not know what she is talking about. I am laughing at the psychics everywhere who are seriously mind controlled freaks and now that it is a powerful Universe Time, they are all going to get purged. They are all going to have to get real professional jobs too. Me, I just get to be the real me. I already got rid of all of the spiritually setup so-called “careers” and now I get to be me. Yes!! I love this part.

I don’t know how long I will last at Bitwine this time, but it is a little “bit” of fun just posting my words there. I am happy to be able to share this information on my website, and not rely on Bitwine to bring me customers. My Universe will do all of that for me. Thank you Universe. I earned everything I am going to get.

Done With Ravelry (Again)

I have been interacting with Ravelry again. Ravelry is a website with a huge database of yarn and a bunch of other things. Lots of people have yarn stashes which they list there and some of the yarn is for sale.  I am pretty much done there now. Just for fun I posted a suggestion for yarn sellers there on the community forum today. The title of my topic was Suggestions for Ravelry Yarn Sellers.

Here is what I posted 7 hours ago. I received 13 responses and I did not get a chance to respond. The thread has been marked: This discussion has been marked as resolved. Ha ha, what a joke they are. 

Hi,

I have been wanting to share a suggestion. I am not sure if this is where it needs to go. Anyway, I am finding that there is a problem with communication between yarn sellers and yarn buyers. I have sent many messages to yarn sellers. I rarely get a response. My suggestion is that yarn sellers all have their emails linked automatically to messages they receive here on Ravelry. This way they will automatically be alerted by email when a buyer is interested in purchasing yarn from them. So when they list their yarn for sale, they know they will always receive email messages. This would surely help a lot.

I know it is optional now but I want this automatically done for buyers when yarn is listed. This seems like a very good thing to do. Alot of people don’t realize this option even exists. I have set my profile to receive emails when a message is sent to me here on Ravelry. This is how it is done on eBay, Etsy, etc..

Thanks for allowing me to share my feelings about all of this right here. 

I decided to post their responses. I was not there to answer any of them. I am glad I wasn’t. This is a place that needs a lot of healing. Ravelry has good information but it is full of highly negative people. Yarn stashers are very negative people. I am not one of them. I just wanted to find some hard to find yarn and I did what I could. Oh well. Moving forward and away from the darkness of Ravelry feels very good. I will continue to purchase yarn from eBay and Etsy and a few other places. 

First Response: (posted 7 hours ago)

If you’re talking about sales between members, that has nothing to do with Ravelry, except that they’ve made it possible.

A lot of people that have listed yarn for sale or trade have moved on.

As a moderator and active member in a few groups, I’d go crazy if I received that many emails. It’s not something you can set for just stash listings.

Before I send a message inquiring about a yarn for sale, I check when they last posted or added a project. When it’s been a few years, I don’t bother to contact them.

Second Response: (Posted 7 hours ago)

I think you will find many disagree with that idea. The idea of sales of yarn between Ravelry members is supposed to be a convenience, not a store function. Many people move on from yarn crafts for many reasons – I mean, sometimes life happens. And honestly, I think that would discourage people from posting their yarn for sale. Just my experience and thoughts after hanging out here for over a decade.

Third Response: (Posted 6 hours ago)

But this isn’t eBay or Etsy. They are sales sites, set up specifically for that purpose. Ravelry allows members to say they will sell their stash if they wish to but it is not primarily a platform for selling. There’s a massive difference between saying, “I’m willing to sell my spare stash” and actively being a yarn seller.

Fourth Response: (Posted 6 hours ago)

Fwiw, categorizing a stashed yarn as “for trade or sale” has really never been understood as “affirmatively looking to sell this yarn”. It’s more along the lines of “willing to consider selling this yarn” (As of the moment it’s categorized as such. And there’s no “requirement” that a price be listed or updated over time, that shipping terms be stated, etc, which most people who are in fact looking to sell a yarn usually will do….)

Assuming I was trying to get in touch with a potential destasher within a reasonable period of time after they’d posted, I’d be annoyed if someone who had posted a definite offer/desire to sell yarn in a “destash” thread or group didn’t in turn reply within a reasonable time (which for me would be more than a couple of days), but apart from that, I’d just give a non-responder up as a lost cause and move on….. (And I would absolutely check the date the stash entry was last updated, and whether the member had any publicly visible activity any time at all recently. You can’t necessarily tell whether someone has been online without “doing” something, but if they hadn’t done so in a long time, I’d be figuring there was a slim chance they would in fact respond to my inquiry….)

Lastly, while I think they really won’t even consider putting the suggestion into practice, Ravelry Staff has only (very) rarely interacted with the membership publicly in several years, and there’s no indication that any of them even regularly reads this board, so if you do want to affirmatively bring your suggestion to their attention, you need to use the Submit Feedback form to submit it directly to them. (And as one is advised there, they may or may not respond to it directly at all.)

I don’t know where you are finding yarn sellers — by doing Stash searches?

There is a stickied thread for about the sale/search for yarns on the Yarn board. There’s also the ISO and Destash of Yarn group where people who have posted fairly recently are more likely to respond quickly although not too long ago I responded to someone’s sale post in that group and never heard back. Possibly they never returned to Ravelry and didn’t realize they needed to check their Ravelry mail box.

And sorry for calling names but some people are just flakes about things that are peripheral to their main life activities.

But this is not how it is done on Ravelry, which was built as an informational database for fibre enthusiasts. Buying and selling are adjuncts to the site, not the original purpose.

ETA slight rephrasing.

I see in your profile that your main reason for joining was to locate hard to find or discontinued yarns. While the founders have made it possible to trade and sell our yarn, the primary purpose of Ravelry is a database of yarns, patterns, and projects. This will not change. I think you’ll find most users aren’t here for a buying/selling experience. There is a reason that the option to receive emails when you get a PM is just that – an option. I like the way that we can customize our experience on Ravelry to our own preferences, and I think most other users do as well. Ravelry isn’t a storefront.

If you are looking for active sellers, that is what the destash threads are for.

The rest of us are mostly trying to keep track of our personal stash. And, if I remember correctly, I think you have to opt out of “trade or sell”, so it may get overlooked by people.

And, if I remember correctly, I think you have to opt out of “trade or sell”, so it may get overlooked by people.

Actually the opposite is true; stash listings default to “in stash (not for sale).” The owner of the yarn has to intentionally add it to the “will sell or trade” tab in their stash area.

You opt in to trade or sell. The default position is that unless yarn has been marked as such, it isn’t.

Here’s the information from the Wiki on your Notebook >Stash:

Yarns that are marked all used up, will sell/trade, or traded/sold/gifted will not show in the yarns tab area with the other yarns. Yarns that are your handspun and listed as finished in the separate handspun section will show up in the stashed yarns area. Fiber that is all used up will show up with the yarn that is all used up.

The will sell/trade option is a personal feature; stash is not meant for a business operation. All transactions are, as explained in the terms of use, between Ravelers and Ravelry isn’t responsible for them.

Regarding request for stash that isn’t marked as ‘will trade/sell’: From posts made by Ravelry’s programmer and co-owner: Unsolicited requests for yarn that is in people’s active stash will never be encouraged. Stash not marked as “will trade or sell” has always been “not for sale”.

Also: We’ve never treated yarn that isn’t marked as “Will sell or trade” as up for grabs and any future changes or improvements are not going to support that use. Yarn that you are willing to part with should be marked as such.

Places like eBay and Etsy are set up specifically for selling stuff. They’re designed to be storefronts and people run actual shops out of them

I can’t imagine trying to do that with my Ravelry stash listings. Stash isn’t designed for that at all. Sure, you can mark an entry as being willing to sell it, but everything is handled informally. You talk over dm and come to an agreement, share whatever compensation method you’ve agreed on, and then mail it. There’s no built in systems for it, it’s all manual. If anyone is genuinely trying to run a business this way, I feel like they’re gonna have a bad time

Thirteenth Response: (Posted 3 hours ago) 

I see that although you’ve been on Ravelry for a couple of years, you don’t seem to be very active–not posting your projects, joining groups, chatting, etc. So this may be why you’re not familiar with the way Ravelry is used by most members and why it was set up the way that it is.

I politely suggest you become more familiar with Ravelry culture before suggesting any changes. You may become much happier with how Ravelry works!

To underwrite what others have suggested: I have at times put some of my yarn in the FSOT category. A few years ago I had a sudden, prolonged hospitalization. If I were in the business of selling yarn, I’d indicate a hiatus in the business. As I’m not, I was simply silent on Ravelry for that period and would have been pretty disturbed by any messages in my email system.

End of responses.

Most responses were given several checks up. Practically no one agreed with me. Only the last response, #13,  did I see 3 down votes for what the commenter said. 

I also want to say that this highly negative place is run by LGBTQIA+ people. On the first page of their website is a tribute to “Pride Month”. I see this is disgusting and gross as they are infiltrating children into the acceptance of this extremely negative event.

“Every year in June, Ravelry proudly celebrates Pride Month and makes Pride Flag flair available for decorating your profile pages.”

OK, enough said. I am done with the freaks on Ravelry. I just wanted to buy some yarn that’s hard to find and it was there. Now, I am done trying to find hard to find yarn. I am displaying this negative place on the Internet for what they are: a bunch of stupid freaks who do not get what I was trying to say and will all eventually die with their precious and deadly yarn stashes intact. Goodbye Ravelers. I’m definitely not one of you. 

Goodbye Pride Month too. That whole thing is being purged during Universe Time.

Today I finally received my Bernat Satin Lemon Grass yarn from Palm Beach Gardens, (Palm Beach County), Florida. It took a lot of effort and a very long wait to get to this day. I never thought I would find this yarn again. It is that scarce these days. I was hoping for 1 skein but the auction was for 3. I then had to win the auction which turned out to be pretty automatic and straightforward. I thought there might be a competitor in the auction but it never happened. I was the only bidder. I got the yarn. It is mine now. How wonderful!

I waited patiently during the shipping time all the way to Yuma, Arizona. Everything was done as normal. There were no problems at all. No games were played. It was simple really. The only thing about all of this was that the really annoying neighbor, (the one who got the 30 day notice but did not leave yet,) was being nosy and annoying (as usual).

I want to explain something here. We do not have individual mail boxes here so the manager was always distributing the mail herself. That has changed now for about 1 week. The old rotten, falling apart mailbox is now unlocked and we have to get our own mail everyday. Well, I don’t really get any mail these days, just if I order something. I already got my ballot for an upcoming election and mailed it back. Anyway, this annoying neighbor is totally freaking out these days. Now he is running around day and night setting off strings of firecrackers.

Anyway, I always get notified by email when my packages arrive. I knew that I had 3 arriving today. I was going to the mailbox because I got the emails. He is sitting there telling me all about this. “You have 3 packages, blah blah, blah…” I told him to shut up, don’t talk to me, and mind your own business. I actually yelled this because he has done some other weird things too. I had to call the police once about something he left at my door. I am tired of this freak being here.

Alright, so I got the yarn and put it away. Success! I am not sure about this but I always thought that something might happen one day to Trump’s place in Florida. So far, that part of Florida has been spared any hurricane problems. I know that I made an excellent connection with Palm Beach County and that area is being healed. Did you know that spirit worlds are set up by county? They do this a lot and it is interesting too. Yuma County is what I was hearing a lot. I also heard them say Marin County, the place I was living in before I returned to Yuma. This is not well known but it is significant. Spirit worlds are set up by county in the USA. This is real.

So, now I have a connection to Palm Beach County, Florida and I certainly did not plan this to happen. It was automatic. I am sure I will be hearing from the spirit world from there coming through my Universe Portal. I am sure these spirit worlds will be moaning and groaning too. Oh well. I finally got the long awaited precious yarn to finish my 3rd go round with the New Years shawl made with this yarn. I have 3 more skeins which are going to be added to the first 2 so it is going to be much bigger than the others I made.

This is amazing. How do things like this happen? Universe Time. That’s how things like this happen. This shawl version #3 stays with me. I earned it. Thank you my Universe. My Universe takes care of me and also everyone else I am connected with, i.e. my family. Now Universe, please get rid of that really annoying old neighbor. He is not needed anymore and needs to be moved along. Thank you.

New Year’s Shawl is now in Completion Mode.
