Probably won’t do much for the rest of the day. I had been gathering stuff for my kids-grandkids to sell at their rummage sale this week end. They picked it up early this morning. I am glad to have that stuff out of the house .
Maybe I’ll get some clothing pics late this afternoon. The area for doing clothing pics is on the west side of the house.

If this promotion is open to any of you who have a large batch of unsold listings already prepared this would be a great chance for you to a sample a store type setting. Don't know but suppose one would still get thier 50 free listing along wth the 30 day BINS.
There is a long time seller who has had a store from the early day of ebay stores who says that one needs a lot of listings--- I think she says 200 or more--- to do well with a store. I am not overjoyed with it but I am pleased with my store.

I find these boards give such a nice break from the boredom of researching and writing listings. I am so glad that we have the boards and that some of you drop around now and then . I've been trying to get all of my cooking and dining items listed . Hoping that the holiday shoppers will be looking for just what I have to offer.
@pawdee98 Leon, Jeminy you and yours are sure having your share of troubles. Hope MsP's eye treatment goes well.

I wonder if the owner // managers think there is too much 'uncertainty' about future cookie sales. A local and quite liberal columnist was saying that 'uncertainty' is the reason that job creators are sitting on record profits and bemoaning a weak economy and so are afraid to invest and hire---- at this time. My sweet tooth is hurting. I think I'll go buy some cookies.

Will share my yesterday with y’all.
My day improved as time moved it along. We had a beautiful sunny day and I needed to take pictures. Had been somewhat out of sorts as I had spent about 2 hours taking pictures on Wednesday. When I sat down at the computer to crop the pics I laid my SanDisk down for a second right here near the printer. Then could not find it . Thought maybe it fell of the front of my desk so I got a light and got down on the floor. Then got the vacuum out to clean while I was down there. But no SanDisk to be found. A new $12.50 disc and 2 hours work gone, gone , gone. Really 3 hours as I spent nearly an hour looking for it.
My household helper dropped by late this afternoon. She walked over to the computer pulled out the drawer underneath the computer and picked up the disk.
Is that an improved day or what?

But I suppose with the fringe benefits they would have to pay the additional employees it is more economical to put the work load on the current employees. Maddening isn't it?
Have never known what this company makes or does. Would you care to share that information?

Or do they get 'strike pay'? Even if they do I suppose that it would be full pay.

Glad yours went well.

I had mentioned on the Glass Board that I thought we might fall ownership to a stray cat. One has shown up on our driveway and in the garage when the door was open. I had ask and received some information about determining the sex .

Was thinking , too, of a joke I heard many moons ago about identifying puppy sex.
The little boy came home from the neighbors all excited about the family of new puppies. He said there were 3 boys puppies and 2 girl puppies. His mother ask how they knew that there were 3 boys and 2 girls. After thinking for a second he said ” Well they held them up——- I think they are marked under there.”

Thought y'all might get a chuckle.

Then I popped out of there. Actually what I found was a beautiful English brass bucket from the 1950s. I recognized it because Mary Kay Ash of Mary Kay make up Products was giving them away as hostess gifts for an in home party plan company which she started after she left Stanley Home Products because they passed her over in favor of a man whom she had trained.
I was a rep for awhile for the new party plan company. We were living in El Paso , Texas. I met Mary Kay several times in my home and in the home of others who were having parties. I recruited a friend for the new company who went back to her home state of Arizona. There she became a manager of that state for Mary Kay. I drew commissions off her sales for several months.

Couldn't sleep so got up to try to do some computer chores. Wish I weren't such a technodolt. Many moons ago DH and I took a free computer course for beginners at a local college. I think that neither of us understood any thing the teacher said . But thought he was not a very good teacher either.
Funny little family thing this week . Our 17 year old DGS has been taking lots of computer courses and is quite good at it. In fact he just recently built a new computer for DH. His mother , our DD, works at VA. She got him lined up to do some volunteer work in the VA IT Dept. She sort of had to drag him into doing this.
He came home the first day all aglow. Said he had been reluctant because he thought DD was trying to line him to do bed pans. But he really liked working with the IT people. They were so nice-------not like high school kids at all.

We know about some of that. DH had a miserable case of the shingles just once.Now his back problems have him limping around with a cane. While I either do a staggering walk, use a prong cane or the walker. Fortunately I have very little pain.
Art Linkletter was so right when he said "Getting old is not for sissies." ( I just read his obit. Didn't know that his parents abandoned him before he was a month old.) Sure hope you find a less painful resolution to your health problems soon.

I spent over an hour this morning doing a Master Profile on my Auctiva site. I hate reading instructions. Now to do a couple of listings to try out that AMP.

I'm thinking I'll shoot it through a a strip of a file card at some place on the clothing article. Or maybe order some of the tags that were suggested by leforme. Probably won't need both but we'll see.

So I am up to this bit of devilment.

I am posting this on all of the boards.
I notice that when I add that 14 Day return policy that we get an additional box for return terms. Wondering what terms others are stating . As some of you know I sell clothing. Thinking about what kind of an attachment that I could add to a used or NWOT clothing item that could prevent the buyer from wearing the item and then returning it.

I know that some glass seller will add some kind of mark. On more common depression glass I have added a piece of "Wite-Out" tape with my initials on it. Otherwise the buyer might return a damaged piece.

In past years I have known an individual or two that would return a special occasion item to Sears or Montgomery Ward after it had been worn. In one instance the mother-of-the-bride had the bridesmaids change to a different garment after the wedding but before the reception.

Still no relief from the heat or drought here in Indiana. I read that farmers have given up and are plowing under their burned crops.
But worse than that we had two children who had been alone left in vehicles. One was the 4 month old daughter who was found dead. Her 18 year old father had left her in the car. The other was an older child whose mother had left her in a locked vehicle with all the windows closed while the mother shopped in a dress store. The child was released from the hospital yesterday. The grandparents took her. The mother is in jail.
I have been quite busy working with my book database. Wanted to get every thing listed. And I did . Then what should happen but DD made a stop at Half Price books and picked up 4 more books. Got those done, too. now to find some one to carry that heavy box to the book storage room. Maybe DH can take a few books at a time when he goes there to pull and ordered book.
Stay cool!!

Yes, you are so right about bookselling becoming complicated with only a modest pay out. Back in '99 and 2000 we shipped 12-14 books every day. But not anymore.
Since I got home from rehab I have been working steadily on getting everything that I want to keep on my database.
I have put 8-10 boxes on Free Cycle. I box them and put them on the protected front porch then notify the person that there are more boxes waiting for her. I have no idea what she intends to do with them. I have maybe 200 left to either pitch or list. Hope to get those done by the end of next week. Then it will be back to working on eBay stuff.
