Linn, the box appears to have headed out for delivery. It's amazing how one can track stuff these days. it's like it sent a little post card: "Had a nice trip, have arrived at Linn's house!" :)

I put up a tutorial post on that eBay strategy thread. Anyone can benefit from it, but I had Linn in mind. The other thing I'll add here is that since you are retired you can save yourself a lot of work and travel by using the eBay shipping labels and handing over packages to your carrier because you're home when they come by. On days I work at home I have a note that I put up on my mailbox that gives my carrier a heads-up that I have a parcel for him. When you use the eBay shipping tools to print your label and hand over the box you're finished. Postal regs say that you can't ship more than a few ounces without handing it over to a person, whether at the post office itself or to your carrier. When you pay for shipping online there is a savings and not having to drive makes it all the more affordable.

I'm wearing a pair of pants today that at one point, not too long ago, were so snug that the spandex puckered. They are now only for around the house/gardening - the puckers show and the pants are almost to the floor. They used to almost be above my ankles! I need to reach back into the closet again soon to see what can come back into use.

My sun room is looking good, but I have things that I brought home from work that are now on my big dining table in the large living room. I think I can find homes for the new stuff and begin the table swap this weekend.
